If I could only recommend one supplement to nearly everyone…
It wouldn’t be fish oil.
It wouldn’t be multivitamins.
It wouldn’t even be vitamin D.
It would be Magnesium Glycinate.
Here’s why:
Magnesium isn’t just “nice to have.”
It’s foundational. Your brain, your heart, your mitochondria, your sleep, and your insulin all run on magnesium. And yet, most people are running low without knowing it. What magnesium does (that matters):
🧠 Calms anxiety and overthinking
💤 Improves deep sleep and HRV
💪 Boosts recovery and reduces soreness
🫀 Regulates blood pressure and heart rhythm
🔥 Helps manage glucose and insulin
⚡ Supports energy and reduces brain fog
Why glycinate?
Because it’s:
✅ Gentle on your gut
✅ Highly absorbable
✅ GABA-friendly (calms your nervous system)
✅ Easy to dose for long-term support
⚠️ Who Should Not Take Magnesium Glycinate?
❌ People with advanced kidney disease or severely reduced GFR (Magnesium can accumulate when the kidneys can’t clear it properly.)
❌ If you’re taking high-dose diuretics or certain heart medications (Always check with your doctor. Interactions are rare, but possible.)
❌ If you have chronic diarrhea or very sensitive digestion (Though glycinate is gentle, even it may be too much in rare GI cases.)
❌ If you’re already getting 500–700 mg from food and supplements combined (Too much can cause lethargy, low blood pressure, or GI upset.)
