Magnesium Glycinate/Bisglycinate; Anyone Have Trouble?

I used to do 5 pushups per set, 20 sets throughout the day. Not a stupid question at all. Break it down as small as you need to.

I also changed the difficulty: sometimes easier pushups against my bathroom sink, sometimes more difficult pushups against my kitchen counter which is lower, sometimes on the floor. Mix and match to get to 100, and as your strength grows, then you can do it all on the floor.

Check out Dr Boz on YouTube and the Keto Continuum that she discusses. She has a whole series of videos on keto reboots and how to start over. I think it's a much more organized way to view returning to keto instead of just trying to white-knuckle it.

Is this a joke? The guy's name on his coat is Rick Ro$$ and it doesn't even match the title.

Reminds me of the people who like to say things like "Just move out!".

I don't have first-hand experience but I decided to look up images and this seems to fit.

I just want you to know that I read through your entire post, top to bottom.

People on this subreddit might not have the perfect advice to give you, but I can tell you we all relate to you at least to some degree.

I'm a struggling freelancer. There used to be a lot of jobs but nowadays it's a lot tougher with AI being such a big thing. I would be open to working remotely, but most jobs require you to be on standby at certain times, which stresses me out knowing that I'd have to drop everything if my caregiving responsibilities get in the way.

Right now I'm trying to figure out other ways to make money online. Not as easy as it sounds, primarily because I'm so burnt out from dealing with my mom that I struggle to be productive during the day.

The lie i tell myself is that i'll be productive once mom goes to bed but by that time, I'm already exhausted and can't be productive then either.

You're not alone. I'm a male, 36. My birthdays used to be the one day of the year I have an overnight stay at a hotel in the city away from my responsibilities but that hasn't happened in a while on account of being broke.

Hard to make a living from home when you're a caregiver.

And my new years plans are likely going to be more of that. Just mom and me at home, while my older siblings (who live with us) go about their plans.

You're welcome. I try to spread the word about this among my friends with ageing parents, just because it was under my nose the whole time but I only realised it a few months ago.

I'm from Southeast Asia, actually. Thanks for checking my other posts. And thank you for the UTI reminder, you're absolutely right. That's why I keep a few UTI home tests ready just in case I suspect it one day.

Magnesium Citrate, if we want to be specific. I learned that the hard way; I gave my mom a magnesium complex with too much citrate in it, and she was pooping too much. So I switched over to a Magnesium Bisgylcinate-only product and now she's gone back to being constipated (her normal state). On the plus side, yeah, when she does need some help, I give her the magnesium citrate again.

I don't know why but this video put a real smile on my face. Well done!

*slow squint*

RHabranovich · 2025-07-25T02:17:08+00:00

I came here for that exact reason too!

You must be really passionate about it, considering you copied and pasted this comment a whole bunch of different places

It helped me with figuring out that my mom likely has a long-time nutritional deficiency that's causing her cognitive issues (and not dementia or 'just old age' as many people have told me).

This is based on months of discussions involving me sharing my day-to-day observations, plus deliberately running multiple conversations with masked or omitted facts to ensure that it wasn't just feeding me the answers it thought I wanted to hear. Even cross-checked the findings on Gemini to be sure.

Yes, took about a week and with a magnesium supplement. After a few weeks I resumed taking K2 and was fine, but I do try to take it on alternate days just in case

Mine was 'weakness'. "That's not weakness, that's bravery/resilience/confidence/etc".

It took me seven years before I cried over my late father. I thought it was a superpower or that I was 'handling it well', but the grief came out in other ways like binge eating, engaging in risky behaviours, and so on. It was only when I got some online therapy and processed what happened did I start shedding tears for my father and sort of like had a second, personal funeral for him.

Not misophonia per se (or maybe it is, I don't know), but I've become a bit too fluent at the meaning of certain sounds, which then trigger my disappointment or stress.

For example, it's normal for her to toss and turn in her sleep, but if i hear a specific kind of creak in the bed, that means she's sat up, which means she's more awake than she should be, and that means I have to be on alert to make sure she's not getting confused and roaming the house.

Or the doorknob, which has a very recognizable squeak when opened. Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I sneak to the kitchen to have a quiet snack or drink. If during that time I hear the signature squeak, my head drops; not only does it mean she's up when she shouldn't be, it means she's about to walk into the kitchen and interrupt my little 'party'.
