Magnesium is an essential mineral that plays a crucial role in various bodily functions, from muscle and nerve function to glucose control and energy production. However, magnesium deficiency is surprisingly common, often caused by factors like poor dietary intake, certain medical conditions, and certain medications.

The podcast episodes highlight the importance of addressing magnesium deficiency, as it can contribute to a range of issues, including reduced flexibility, mobility, and tissue pliability. For example, in Episode 135 of The Dr. Tyna Show, Dr. Tina Moore discusses how magnesium deficiency can negatively impact flexibility and overall health. Similarly, Episode 282 of The Peter Attia Drive delves deep into the risks of magnesium deficiency, the challenges in assessing it, and the potential cognitive and sleep benefits of correcting it.
