Magnesium: The Mineral You Might Be Missing

Why Magnesium Matters More Than You Think

Hi Kim,

Let’s talk about one of the most underrated nutrients in your wellness toolkit: magnesium.

You’ve probably heard the name before, but did you know that magnesium is involved in over 300 biochemical reactions in the body?

From energy production to sleep quality, this humble mineral plays a vital role in your overall health. And yet, studies show that more than 50% of people are magnesium deficient without even knowing it.

Here’s what a lack of magnesium might look like:

• Trouble sleeping or waking up tired

• Anxiety or low mood

• Muscle cramps and tension

• Brain fog or trouble concentrating

Sound familiar?

Here’s what magnesium can do for you:
⁕ Boost your mood – It helps regulate neurotransmitters that influence anxiety and depression
⁕ Support better sleep – Magnesium calms the nervous system and helps your body and mind wind down
⁕ Relax your muscles – Say goodbye to twitching, cramping, or tight shoulders
⁕ Sharpen focus – It supports healthy brain function and mental clarity

Where can you get it?
Magnesium is found in foods like leafy greens, almonds, seeds, and dark chocolate. But if your diet is lacking or you live a high-stress lifestyle, supplementation might help fill the gap.

There are also different types of magnesium, and each has its strengths:

• Magnesium glycinate – Great for calming the mind and helping with sleep

• Magnesium citrate – A gentle option for digestion

• Magnesium threonate – Known to support brain health and memory

The bottom line? Magnesium isn’t just a supplement. It’s self-care.

If you’re feeling off lately, this could be a simple, natural place to start.
