Magnesium: The Goldilocks Nutrient?

Magnesium deficiency is incredibly common. No need for this, though. There are simple labs to run. You can also fix a deficiency with food and supplements. But what are some symptoms of Mg deficiency? And who should NOT be taking it as a supplement? Join Tina & Leah as they chat about the 4th most abundant mineral in the human body. (What's #1? You'll have to tune in.)

Let's face it, nutrition advice is all over the board these days. Whatever your menu looks like, you need to ensure you get foods high in Mg. It's used in over 300  biochemical reactions in the body! If, for any reason, foods won't cut it, then a supplement may be for you. Tune in as we cover details about one of our favorite nutrients (is it because it chills us out?).
