Can a cheap mineral capsule really move insomnia? The largest RCT to date says: a little -- and most in people who need it.

Schuster et al. (Nature and Science of Sleep, 2025) ran a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial: 155 adults with poor sleep got 250 mg of elemental magnesium as bisglycinate or placebo, nightly for four weeks.

The magnesium group cut Insomnia Severity Index scores more than placebo (-3.9 vs -2.3, p=0.049). The biggest gains were in people who started low in dietary magnesium.

Caveats: effect size was small (Cohen's d = 0.2), the 1.6-point ISI gap sits below the usual 6-point clinical-meaningfulness threshold, and sleep was self-reported. Real but modest.

Today's drop: if sleep is uneven and your diet is low in magnesium-rich foods (greens, legumes, nuts, seeds), try 200-250 mg of elemental magnesium as glycinate, 30-60 minutes before bed, for four weeks.

Sleep is one of the most underrated metabolic levers in longevity -- poor sleep drives insulin resistance, cortisol, and visceral fat.

“It’s just my age.”

That’s what most people over 40 say about poor sleep, muscle cramps, tension, and energy that crashes by mid-afternoon.

But sometimes it’s not age. It’s a missing mineral your body burns through faster every year — and a standard blood test can miss it completely.

Swipe through 👉 the form you take matters more than most people realise.

💬 Comment “MG” and I’ll send you the breakdown of which form fits which goal.

Most people fix everything except the basics. Don’t be most people.

A “mini-stroke” isn’t mini. ⚠️

A TIA (transient ischaemic attack) happens when blood flow to the brain is briefly blocked. The symptoms can vanish in minutes — and that’s exactly why people ignore it.

But a TIA is your brain’s final warning. Research shows the risk of a full stroke is highest in the first hours and days afterwards.

Know FAST:
🔸 Face — has one side drooped?
🔸 Arms — can they lift both?
🔸 Speech — is it slurred or confused?
🔸 Time — call 999 or 112 immediately. Even if symptoms disappear.

“It went away” is not the same as “it’s fine.”

Did you know that methylation plays a crucial role in pregnancy and fetal development?

For some women, genetic variations such as MTHFR may affect how the body processes folate, an important nutrient involved in DNA synthesis, cell growth, and healthy development during pregnancy.

Understanding the difference between folic acid and methylfolate, and learning how methylation supports both mother and baby, can help you make informed decisions throughout your pregnancy journey.

Could your PMS symptoms be linked to the way your body processes hormones?

For some women, variations in the COMT gene may affect how oestrogen and neurotransmitters are broken down, potentially influencing mood, anxiety, irritability, and PMS symptoms.

PCOS affects around 1 in 10 women, yet many people never hear about the important role nutrition can play in supporting hormonal health.

This article explores the connection between PCOS and Vitamin D3, what the research shows, and why it may be worth paying attention to if you’re struggling with symptoms.

🧠 Did you know that elevated homocysteine may be linked to an increased risk of stroke?

Many people have never heard of homocysteine, yet it can play an important role in vascular health, especially for those with MTHFR variants and methylation issues.

We’ve put together a simple blog explaining the connection between MTHFR, homocysteine, and stroke risk—and what you can do about it.

🧠 Most people have never heard of homocysteine, yet elevated levels have been linked to stroke risk, cardiovascular issues, and neurological symptoms.

If you carry an MTHFR variant or have unexplained health concerns, understanding your homocysteine level could be an important piece of the puzzle.

A few years ago, I was the dad sitting in waiting rooms being told there were no more answers.
Someone I love was slipping away and every test came back “normal.” It took years before we found the thing everyone had missed - and the answer turned out to be smaller, and simpler, than any of us expected.
I’ve finally written the whole story down. If you or someone you love is stuck in the MTHFR maze, feeling unheard, this is for you.

Carry an MTHFR variant? Your magnesium matters more than you think.

Magnesium isn’t optional for methylation — it’s a required cofactor for the enzymes that drive the entire cycle. No magnesium, no methylation.

And the form matters. Bisglycinate is gentle on the gut and highly absorbable — none of the bloating or cramping you get from cheap oxide forms.

Methylation science, done right. 🧬
