Show Notes:

Pros and cons of taking a magnesium supplement - Mayo Clinic
What you should know about magnesium - Harvard Health
Episode Description:
Do you know the importance of magnesium?
As women approach pre-menopause and eventually enter menopause, they experience a variety of physical and emotional changes. These changes are largely attributed to hormonal fluctuations, particularly the decline in estrogen levels. Common symptoms include:
- Hot Flashes and Night Sweats
- Mood Swings and Anxiety
- Insomnia and Sleep Disturbances
- Muscle Cramps and Joint Pain
- Bone Health Concerns
Magnesium is an important mineral that impacts these symptoms, helps regulate hormonal imbalances, and supports a smoother transition into menopause.
Low Magnesium has been associated with increased risk for the following diseases.
- Diabetes
- Heart disease
- Migraines
- Osteoporosis
Magnesium can be found in foods such as green leafy veggies, nuts, seeds, whole grains, and fortified cereals. Magnesium supplements are also available for those who are concerned with a deficiency.
Women who are typically at risk for a magnesium deficiency and may need to contact their doctor about magnesium supplements include those with GI diseases like Ulcerative Colitis, Crohn's disease, or chronic diarrhea; pregnant and older women; women with diabetes, and those who have a high alcohol intake.
Some symptoms of a magnesium deficiency include:
- Anxiety/irritability
- Muscle cramps and spasms
- Trouble sleeping/insomnia
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Loss of appetite
How do you know if you need a magnesium supplement?
If you have a disease that makes you high risk for deficiency, take medications that may hinder your absorption, or you have inadequate intake - you may be at risk!!!
Please let your doctor know that you are taking a supplement.

221/ What’s all the hype about protein? Are you getting enough?
Thursday Aug 10, 2023
Thursday Aug 10, 2023
Episode description:
Protein has become the new hype of the fitness community. Questions about protein have been made in a huge amount of google searches.
- Protein powder: 673,000 google searches
- Protein rich foods: 301,000 google searches
Most of us are typically focused on calorie intake, so we often don’t see the composition of what we were eating. Protein has recently become the media darling of the nutrition world – and with good reason as it serves many vital functions. Some of that is likely related to the importance of building muscle and losing weight and how protein helps with that goal. However, it’s also important to note that protein isn’t the only thing your body needs for optimal function. We have seen the marketing for high protein supplements, added protein to normal food items, people become obsessive and maybe even disordered around the idea of eating protein and only protein. Protein rich foods are seen as healthier versions of some of the same food items that don’t have protein.
On our episode today we talk about what protein is, why it’s necessary, kinds of protein, how much protein is necessary daily and when you are engaging in workouts., and some things to think about when increasing your protein intake.
