In this episode, we are doing our magnesium deep dive. So we did calcium last week. Very close

relationship there. Now we're going to talk about magnesium. And I'm going to go into the different roles.

Magnesium plays in the body, how it impacts important systems like our thyroid, our blood sugar,

our hormones.

We're going to get deep into vitamin D status since I know that's a controversial one.

And I'm also doing a rapid fire Q&A at the end.

So I did that last time.

I think it was helpful.

It answers a lot of questions really quickly that a lot of you have from Instagram.

And then for the bonus episode and for the Patreon members,

I am focusing on heavy metals and magnesium and just like minerals in general. I'm also going to

be going through magnesium on a hair test, especially if someone like can't tolerate magnesium,

like what that might look like, blood work,

how to know if it's optimal or not. And then I'm going to dig into, I have this really cool

article on PMS and like four different types of PMS. And a lot of it has to do with magnesium.

So we're going to break that down as well. And then finally, a lot of stuff from my Patreon people.

You're also going to get a handout that's got like a chart and it's got all the different types of magnesium. And I go through like,

you know, what they're good for, what's easily absorbed, what's not all that kind of stuff.
