â¨Midlife & Magnesiumâ¨
Perimenopause & menopause can feel like a mystery.
One minute, youâre fine. The next, your sleep is a mess, your energy is all over the place, and your mind feels foggy.
Youâre wondering, Is it stress? Am I just getting older? Or is something else going on?
Many of these changes come down to shifts in hormones, stress response, and nutrient levelsâand magnesium plays a key role in all of it. It helps with:
âď¸ Sleep & relaxation
âď¸ Mood & anxiety
âď¸ Blood sugar regulation
âď¸ Bone health & muscle function
âď¸ Heart health
âď¸ Slowing osteoporosis
Food is always the best place to start!
Not only do magnesium-rich foods give you this essential mineral, but they also provide fibre, healthy fats, and anti-inflammatory benefitsâall of which support hormonal balance and overall health.
Here are some easy ways to add more magnesium to your diet:
𼣠Sprinkle chia or pumpkin seeds onto your porridge, yogurt, or smoothie
đĽ Toss spinach into salads, stir-fries, or omelettes
đĽ Snack on almonds or cashews for a quick energy boost
đŤ Enjoy a square (or two!) of dark chocolateâyes, itâs a great source of magnesium
đĽ Add avocado to your meals for a magnesium and healthy fat boost
I always recommend food first, but I also personally supplement with magnesium L-threonate, as itâs easily absorbed and supports brain function.
If hormonal changes that come with midlife have you feeling off, magnesium might be worth looking at. Small changes can make a big difference.
