Do you know the one nutrient that decides whether calcium heals or harms you?
In this powerful episode, Mary and Dr. Ted are joined by special guest Dr. Ian Suzelis, an osteopathic primary care doctor, to unpack one of the most overlooked health traps: excess calcium without the right co-nutrients.
Together, they reveal the vital—but often missing—role of Vitamin K2 and how it works with Calcium and Vitamin D to protect both your bones and your heart.
🧠 Discover how this trio of nutrients can:
- Direct calcium away from arteries and into bones
