94. Magnesium After 40: Why It's Not Working the Way You Expect

You've likely heard about magnesium being a miracle mineral and you're probably taking a supplement to help with some of your perimenopause symptoms, but supplementing randomly often leads to frustration.

In this episode, I unpack why so many women over 40 struggle to raise magnesium levels, why electrolytes matter more than you think, and how minerals like sodium and potassium determine whether your body can actually use the magnesium you take.

If you're tired of guessing with supplements and want a smarter plan, this episode will help you understand what your body actually needs — without the hype.

You'll learn:

What magnesium does for hormones, mood, sleep, and metabolism after 40
Hidden drains on magnesium (i.e. stress, medications, alcohol, processed foods, etc)
Why many women don't feel better on magnesium – and what cofactors are missing
The truth about electrolytes and why they may not be working for you
How HTMA (hair tissue mineral analysis) helps reveal whether you're absorbing minerals or just guessing
