Magnesium…it's imperative for so many different functions in the body. And yet over 50% of us are deficient in magnesium! And that's just the ones that are being tested and we're actually seeing the deficiency. Most people just walk around daily and don't even take it. Magnesium is important for muscle and nerve function, for your heart to beat regularly, blood pressure regulation, blood sugar management, maintenance of energy levels, T4 to T3 conversion, inflammation, sleep, and mood. Why are we not taking this on daily basis? This should be standard with every single one of your protocols and you should be taking it every single day. But, you know, there's a lot of different types of magnesiums out there. There's a lot of good ones. There's a lot of bad ones. Sure you can walk down the Costco you can walk down to Walmart and grab a magnesium off the shelf. And it's probably magnesium citrate, which isn't bad but with so many different forms, you need to really be an educated consumer especially if you have hypothyroidism to know what forms of magnesium to get, and what to look for on that label. So let me help you in this episode...what is each magnesium good for and really what you want to look for in a magnesium as a thyroid patient.
