The Confidential with Simone Gisondi
Education
In this episode, Dr. Barb Woegerer, a licensed naturopathic doctor, discusses the importance of magnesium in our health. Dr. Woegerer emphasizes that magnesium deficiency is prevalent, with 70-80% of individuals being deficient. She explains that magnesium is involved in over 800 enzymatic reactions in the body, impacting energy production, muscle function, blood glucose control, and more. The episode delves into common myths about magnesium, such as the belief that a balanced diet provides sufficient magnesium and the importance of magnesium in pregnancy and breastfeeding.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Magnesium deficiency is not rare, with 60-80% of the population being deficient, leading to various health issues.
Magnesium is crucial during pregnancy and breastfeeding, helping with constipation, reflux, insomnia, and insulin resistance.
Bisglycinate is a versatile form suitable for various needs, while citrate is beneficial for digestion and migraines. L3N8 is ideal for brain health and mood disorders, and malate is effective for chronic fatigue and muscle/joint pain.
Common myths about magnesium include the rarity of deficiency, reliance on a balanced diet for sufficient magnesium, and the misconception that all forms of magnesium are equal.
While children may not need heavy dosing, magnesium supplementation can be beneficial for behavioral issues and overall health. Pregnant women can benefit from bisglycinate magnesium, with doses ranging from 400-800 milligrams, but individual consultation is recommended.
BEST MOMENTS
"If you don't have enough magnesium, you're likely not actually converting the vitamin D that you're taking and activating it."
"I always say it's a requirement for pregnancy and breastfeeding."
"I'm so glad that you mentioned what some of the things that it addresses so that if anybody out there is actually afflicted with those things, and of course we all are with one thing or another."
"So you want to start with a foundation of a good balanced diet."
