Sheri and I have used and talked about Magnesium Breakthrough from BiOptimizers for years. And one reason we continue to use and recommend it is the science behind the formula. Magnesium may be having a moment right now, but BiOptimizers has been studying minerals for more than two decades. They have PhD scientists working in their own lab, and they've done tens of thousands of tests over the years. Magnesium Breakthrough combines seven different forms of Magnesium with each one chosen for a reason. It's designed to support things we care about, including deeper sleep at night and feeling calmer and steadier during the day. More than a million people have made it part of their routine.

Gin Stephens (2:06)

Repeat. Intermittent Fasting For Life podcast. How are you doing today, Sheri?

Sheri Bullock (2:11)

I am doing great.

I got to see Seth. He's our Marine. Awesome.

Gin Stephens (2:17)

Yesterday. It was a surprise. You didn't know he was coming.

Sheri Bullock (2:22)

It was. They kept it secret for me. He came in on the weekend and Eric thought I would be sad because I had to be at work. So he didn't want me to know.

So he actually had gotten him and then went and got Avery and they spent all day Sunday together. And then when I came home, Monday, he was here. And so I never slept. I was up all day.

And we just spent the day together. And then Eric actually had to take him back last night. He's only on leave for a couple of days. And then he's going back to DC. So I asked him how he's liking DC. And he said, I mean, it's cool. And there's a lot of things to see and do. But he said, I'll never be the concrete jungle kind of guy.

Gin Stephens (3:17)

Right.

Sheri Bullock (3:18)

He's like, I need my wide open spaces and trees.

Gin Stephens (3:22)

Yeah.

Sheri Bullock (3:23)

So when he wants some nature, he goes to the Lincoln Memorial or there's a park there. And he said, when you're there, you can almost forget that you're in the middle of a city. He said, almost, not quite.

Gin Stephens (3:42)

So there's definitely some places you can go. Chris's office moved. They had been in DC, DC for like over 30 years and they moved it to Arlington, Virginia. And when we were the last time we were there, we were in Arlington and you can walk down by the river. And there's like some kind of park that is like you're in the woods.

So have a look for that park in Arlington. In Arlington? Yep.

Sheri Bullock (4:04)

Okay.

Gin Stephens (4:05)

It was a really nice park.

Sheri Bullock (4:06)

He loves to hike. And you can do that in there. Okay. I'll tell him that.

They drove some place to Virginia like two hours away a couple weekends ago and went hiking for the day.

Gin Stephens (4:18)

This is not that far. I mean, it's like literally right across the river from DC.

And so he should get that. Look for that. Give it a try. I can't remember the name of the park, but there might be like something to do with Teddy Roosevelt. I don't know, but it's like in the middle of the river. I don't know. It was really nice.

Sheri Bullock (4:35)

I'll tell him.

Gin Stephens (4:36)

Yeah.

Sheri Bullock (4:36)

He'll love that. It's a great tip.
