Earthy Magnesium

21/04/2026

Somewhere along the way, humans stopped being human.

Yes we grow and evolve and we move with the times, but this has lead to disconnection.

We really went from singing around fires to scrolling alone in the dark.

From eating with our hands in community beside our families, to microwaving our dinners under artificial blue light.

Our ancestors didn’t need morning routines or “self-care checklists” to feel alive, their aliveness was woven into the way they lived.

They danced because their bodies asked them to. They sang because their hearts couldn’t hold that much emotion without releasing it. They touched the earth because it was the only ground they knew.

We’re not saying to go back to the Stone Age here by the way.

Just a reminder to prioritise community, to nurture connections and to align with nature.

Magnesium keeps the nervous system calm.

It modulates GABA, lowers adrenaline and balances calcium.

Low magnesium = tension, light sleep, jaw
tightness, heightened anxiety, cramps, restlessness throughout the body.

Stress, excess sweating, and caffeine all deplete it. Not to mention how most are insufficient in magnesium to begin with.

You can microdose topical magnesium throughout your day, or simply apply it before bed, or on areas of tension on the body, as it’s an amazing supplement for sleep, and a muscle and joint restorative compound.

Most people have been conditioned to think of the skin as a barrier, something that simply protects you from the outside world. But biologically, that isn’t entirely true as your skin is not just a shield, it is an active interface. It absorbs, it exchanges, it communicates with the internal environment constantly. This is the very reason transdermal delivery systems exist in modern medicine. Estrogen creams, ni****ne patches, hormone therapies, all of them rely on the fact that compounds can pass through the skin and enter systemic circulation.

This is where magnesium becomes particularly interesting. Magnesium is not just another supplement, it is a foundational mineral involved in over 300 enzymatic processes within the body, many of which govern nervous system regulation, muscular relaxation, mitochondrial energy production, and neurotransmitter balance.

The challenge, however, is that modern digestive systems are often compromised. Low stomach acid, gut inflammation, and mineral antagonists within the diet can all reduce the efficiency of oral absorption.

What we see in the literature is that not all magnesium forms are created equally. Magnesium oxide, one of the most commonly sold forms, has extremely poor bioavailability, often cited as low as 4 to 8 percent.

Other forms such as magnesium citrate, glycinate, or chloride show improved absorption, but even then, the digestive system remains a limiting factor. One of the most overlooked data points is that magnesium derived from mineral-rich water has been shown to reach absorption levels of up to 59 percent, highlighting just how dependent magnesium uptake is on its form and delivery mechanism.

This is where the topical route begins to make more sense when viewed through a physiological lens. By applying magnesium directly to the skin, you bypass the digestive system entirely and allow the mineral to interact with the body in a more direct way.

It does not rely on stomach acid, it does not compete in the same way with other nutrients, and it can be applied to areas where the demand is highest, whether that is muscular tissue, joints, or areas of tension.

And that’s we created Earthy.

When you’re disconnected from joy, trapped in stress states, deprived of meaning, and drowning in overstimulation, your body becomes inflamed long before your diet ever does.

Because chronic stress and existing on constant stress hormones is extremely inflammatory. It literally reshapes your biology, hinders your thyroid, and disrupts your gut.

And yet we’ve created a culture that glorifies hustle, late nights, numbs emotion, and scoffs at the very things that regulate us.

The truth is, your nervous system doesn’t speak the language of if it fits your macros and biohacks.

It speaks the language of security, It knows when you feel seen, when you feel held, when you feel free. And that’s the state where healing happens.

You can take all the turmeric and magnesium in the world.
But if you’re still living in survival mode, if you’re still suppressing your joy, if you’re still stuck in a body that feels like a battleground, you’ll still battle with inflammation, and it most likely won’t shift.

This isn’t an anti-supplement post. Just a reminder that your joy is medicine too and that healing is a whole-body process.

Start honouring the practices that bring you home to yourself.
Because that’s the most anti-inflammatory protocol there is.

The study mentioned “Dietary magnesium intake is related to larger brain volumes and lower white matter lesions with notable s*x differences,” published in the European Journal of Nutrition in 2023.

Key Findings ⬇️

Increased Magnesium Intake: A 41% increase in dietary magnesium intake was associated with less age-related brain shrinkage, better cognitive function, and a lower risk or delayed onset of dementia.

Gender Differences: The neuroprotective effects of higher magnesium intake appeared to benefit women more than men, particularly post-menopausal women. This may be due to magnesium’s anti-inflammatory properties.

Those consuming more than 550 milligrams of magnesium daily had a brain age approximately one year younger by age 55 compared to those with a normal intake of about 350 milligrams daily.

These findings highlight the potential benefits of a magnesium-rich life in promoting brain health and reducing the risk of dementia, especially among women.

We always advocate for topical magnesium as a way to increase daily magnesium levels in a highly efficient and more bioavailable format.

While oral magnesium is great, topical magnesium is often more bioavailable, meaning your body absorbs it faster and more efficiently. When applied to the skin, it bypasses the digestive system, avoiding issues like upset stomach or poor mineral absorption due to gut imbalances.

Plus, it goes directly into the bloodstream as the skin is the largest organ of the human body, hence why you feel so revitalised after spending time in the ocean, because it’s one huge magnesium chloride bath.

You don’t need a full lifestyle overhaul.

You just need to start living in sync with the rhythm your body already follows.

Honour your body clock, and it will change everything.

Small shifts. Big impact.

Your body’s circadian rhythm isn’t just about sleep-it’s a master clock that regulates every system: hormones, metabolism, digestion, mood, even immune function.

When you eat, sleep, and move out of sync with this clock, it creates internal friction: fatigue, brain fog, blood sugar crashes, poor digestion, hormone imbalances.

Your body wants to heal, it’s trying, all the time. But healing isn’t just about adding more (more supplements, more workouts, more willpower). Sometimes, it’s about aligning with what’s already built in.

This is what true regulation looks like ⬇️

🍽️ Eating when your digestion is strongest.

💤 Resting when detox and repair peak

🌞 Exposing yourself to natural light in the morning to reset your brain and hormones.

💡Blocking artificial light at night with blue light blocking glasses and red light bulbs.

✌️Giving your nervous system a rhythm it can rely on by limiting stress and silencing the noise of the modern world.

The modern world pulls us out of sync.

Real wellness is learning how to come back into rhythm-with nature, with your body, with yourself.

Doctors rarely test your magnesium levels or teach you about nutrition, organic food, or how to do hormonal bloodwork.

But they will prescribe you an antidepressant, a sleeping pill, or a painkiller in a heartbeat.

And here’s why that’s a huge problem.

Magnesium plays a role in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body.

It’s essential for:

– Nervous system regulation
– Mood stability and serotonin production
– Muscle relaxation and pain response
– Deep, restorative sleep cycles
– Blood sugar balance and energy metabolism

Yet up to 75% of people are magnesium deficient.

Why? Because modern life strips it from us:

• Chronic stress depletes magnesium fast
• Caffeine increases magnesium loss via the kidneys
• Soil depletion means our food contains far less magnesium than it once did
• Processed food contains almost none
• Most water sources are filtered and re-mineralized poorly, or not at all

So when someone walks into a doctor’s office with symptoms like:

– Low mood
– Brain fog
– Restlessness
– Anxiety
– Muscle cramps
– Insomnia
– Migraines
– Chronic fatigue

They’re often handed a pill to treat the symptom rather than being asked what their overall levels look like.

What’s even worse? Many of the medications used to treat those symptoms (like SSRIs or sleeping pills) actually further deplete magnesium over time, making the root cause worsen whilst masking it.

The sun used to be our primary source of lighting.

Our evenings were once spent in relative darkness. Living under nature’s time clock, candles and fires for light or red or orange lamps, the pineal gland secretes melatonin correctly when living this way, and our bodies stay in alignment with the circadian rhythm of nature.

Now, however, artificial lighting suffuses our homes, offices, and virtually everywhere else. We stare at back-lit screens and phones, tablets, monitors, and televisions all day and evening.

And, it turns out, this abundance of lumens come at a high price. It throws the circadian rhythm out of alignment, decreases metabolic health, ruins our mitochondria and makes us more obese.

We just wrote an article on blue light exposure with ways to mitigate this. Comment the word ARTICLE on this post and we’ll send you the link.
