I've heard that olives are also nature's cure to migraines. It's anti-inflammatory compounds suppress the same pain pathways ibuprofen (I didn't do the study, but have heard of it). 🫒🍸

110% I used to get migraines anywhere from biweekly to almost weekly a few years back. The two biggest gamechangers for me were: 1. Supplementing Magnesium Glycinate 2. Getting 8 hours of high quality sleep The best part? Those two points are interconnected.

Is it possible to have too much magnesium? Let’s say you already get some dietary magnesium. Should you still supplement an extra 600mg a day?

In this episode, we delve into the consequences of that and magnesium's role in preventing disease and slowing aging. We also discuss how magnesium is absorbed (diet and supplements), why it may prevent cancer and the accumulation of DNA damage, and why athletes may need more. Plus, you will learn about its vital role in vitamin D metabolism. We'll also address common misconceptions about magnesium supplementation, examining topics like magnesium threonate, blood test accuracy, transdermal absorption, and its effects on sleep.
