Summary

In this episode of Fitness Stuff for Normal People, Marianna and Tony are diving into the mineral that quietly works behind the scenes—Magnesium. Known for its role in over 300 enzyme reactions, magnesium is one many of us don’t get enough of, and it can impact everything from energy and sleep to mood and metabolism. Join us as we unpack the science, debunk myths, and explore what adding a little more magnesium might do for you.
