Magnesium: Your Secret Weapon for Better Health - AI Podcast
Story at-a-glance
- Magnesium deficiency is widespread despite its key role in 600+ bodily functions; modern farming has depleted soil minerals and most people absorb only 30% to 40% of dietary magnesium
- Different forms of magnesium target specific health needs: glycinate for sleep and anxiety, malate for energy, citrate for digestion, threonate for brain function and taurate for heart health
- Common magnesium-rich foods like nuts and seeds aren’t recommended because they contain inflammatory linoleic acid, which worsens metabolic health
- Magnesium deficiency contributes to serious health issues including insulin resistance, high blood pressure, poor glucose control and mitochondrial dysfunction
- Supplementation strategy matters: determine your ideal dose using magnesium citrate — once your dose causes loose stools, dial back slightly — then switch to glycinate or malate based on symptoms of tension/sleep issues or energy/focus problems
