Your Magnesium Might Not Be Working and Here’s Why

Published 19 days ago • 1 min read

Magnesium is one of the most commonly recommended supplements but not all forms work the same. If you’ve ever taken magnesium and thought “this didn’t do anything”… you may not have been taking the right type for your goal or symptom.

Here’s a simple breakdown to help you choose intentionally:

My go-to favorites? Magnesium glycinate for calming the body and supporting restful sleep, magnesium threonate for brain health and mental clarity, or my absolute favorite Tri-blend Magnesium, a blend of magnesium glycinate, magnesium malate, and a little splash of magnesium citrate for well-rounded daily support.

The key is simple: match the magnesium to your goal. When you choose the right form, you’re far more likely to feel the benefit, whether that’s better sleep, sharper focus, or less muscle tension.

Remember, when it comes to magnesium, it’s not just about taking it, it’s about choosing the form that actually fits your needs.

Your Body Listens to Your Environment

We often think about health as the supplements we take, the foods we eat, or how much we exercise but our everyday environment matters too. New research published in the Journal of the Endocrine Society found that exposure to PFAS (“forever chemicals”) during childhood may negatively impact bone development during adolescence.

Sunscreen, Simplified

With sunny days ahead, sunscreen becomes a daily essential but not all sunscreens are created equal. The two main types you’ll see are mineral (physical) and chemical sunscreens. Mineral sunscreens use ingredients like Zinc oxide and Titanium dioxide to sit on top of the skin and reflect UV rays. Chemical sunscreens, on the other hand, absorb into the skin and use ingredients like Oxybenzone, Avobenzone, and Octinoxate to absorb UV radiation and convert it into heat. While both can be...

What If Your DNA Could Guide Your Medications?

Have you ever wondered why a medication works well for one person but not for another? This is where pharmacogenomics comes in.

In simple terms, it helps answer questions like: Could this medication be a good option for me? Will I need a higher or lower dose? Am I more likely to experience side effects?
