Episode 406: Ana Marie Schick: Using Magnesium for Sleep Fitness + Why You Should Skip the Gummies


Listen Later

Do you struggle to fall asleep at night, tossing and turning for hours? Many people turn to magnesium supplements, alcohol, or even marijuana gummies to help them drift off. But did you know these supposed solutions could be doing more harm than good?


In this Fitness Friday episode, I am joined by Ana Marie Schick to discuss how to reach the deep, restorative stages of sleep your body needs to truly rest and recover.


We discuss the surprising truth about magnesium supplements and sleep and why alcohol and marijuana gummies sabotage your sleep quality. We also share simple, effective strategies to wind down and get the restful sleep you need.


Ana Marie discovered through three decades of training and coaching athletes, executives, and individuals that sleep was a critical yet overlooked component of recovery and optimal performance. Noticing a significant gap in sleep knowledge and practical solutions, she joined forces with the co-founders of Sleepme Inc. Her expertise in health, fitness, and sleep enabled her to develop innovative approaches to improve sleep quality while serving as a subject matter expert at Sleepme. She contributes to developing effective sleep solutions for individuals seeking to enhance their overall well-being. 


What we discuss:  


  • Magnesium and its role in promoting sleep
  • Different forms of magnesium 
  • The negative effects of using alcohol, marijuana gummies, and sleep medications 
  • Falling asleep too quickly can be a sign of sleep deprivation 
  • The importance of establishing a personalized pre-sleep routine
