  1. When should you take magnesium for sleep?

    “I was asked, do magnesium need to be taken with or without food or before sleep? If you're going to go that route it should be taken 30 to 60 minutes before sleep, 'cause it's designed to make you sleepy.”

  4. Does ashwagandha raise testosterone?

    “ashwagandha is a very potent supplement in terms of reducing cortisol levels. It has also been shown to increase testosterone levels, but probably indirectly, and that's because cortisol and testosterone sort of exist on a seesaw in terms of pathways. They're on separate pathways, but those pathways interact enough that when cortisol is lowered, in general testosterone tends to increase. Now it is important that with certain hormones like ashwagandha that you don't take them for more than two weeks at a time at high dosages.”
