So you don't need supplements at every point in your life, but there are certain points in your life like pregnancy, and I would argue menopause, that you actually will benefit from certain supplements because our body, our gut is changing and our needs are changing at this time.

So you will notice that women often benefit from magnesium supplementation or increase in the magnesium in their food.

So you don't necessarily have to take a supplement.

You can just up the levels in your food.

And what is magnesium good for?

So magnesium is good for many, many things.

It's actually part of like 300 different processes in our bodies.

But we often think of it for calming the brain, easing muscle tension and helping us relax before bed.

So for women, we've found that magnesium glycinate.

So it's magnesium bound to the glycine molecule.

It helps people relax, lowers the anxiety levels, and helps people relax before sleep.

And so that is a great one to use for people who are like, hey, that sounds like me.

And there was a study that was so shocking.

It showed that people, women especially, who had higher levels of magnesium in their diet, so 550 milligrams a day, which is a high level of magnesium, they had younger brains.

And maybe they were eating, you know, there's lots of arguments.

They said like, hey, maybe those people that were eating magnesium rich foods are just people who are super into their nutrition.

But I was thinking to get that much magnesium, you really do have to be aware of it or at least aware that you want to eat really healthy food.

So it's like beans and nuts and leafy greens.

And so magnesium is essential for our brain too.

That's fascinating.
