Magnesium 101

The Positively Healthy Mom

Welcome to another enlightening episode of The Positively Healthy Mom Podcast! Today, I am thrilled to introduce you to Natalie Jurado, founder of Rooted In and a true expert on magnesium. If you've ever wondered about the incredible health benefits of magnesium and how it impacts our bodies, this episode is for you!

Natalie breaks down everything we need to know about magnesium, from its role in over 700 biochemical reactions in our bodies to its impact on nerve conduction, muscle function, blood sugar regulation, and stress management. As moms, understanding magnesium's importance can help us and our children live healthier, more balanced lives.

In this episode, Natalie shares her personal journey that led her to discover the power of magnesium. Struggling with severe insomnia, anxiety, and panic attacks, she found solace in magnesium, transforming her health and inspiring her to help others.

We discuss the signs and symptoms of magnesium deficiency, often referred to as the "invisible deficiency" because it's so easily overlooked. Chronic headaches, insomnia, muscle cramps, anxiety, and even hormonal imbalances can all be linked to low magnesium levels. Natalie provides practical advice on how to ensure our diets are rich in magnesium, despite it being a challenging mineral to obtain in adequate amounts from food alone.

Natalie also introduces us to her innovative magnesium products, including a lotion designed to deliver a therapeutic amount of magnesium through the skin. This topical application bypasses digestive issues and ensures effective absorption, making it perfect for everyone, from children to the elderly.

For moms with teenagers, Natalie offers tips on how to encourage healthy habits and magnesium intake in a way that teens will accept and understand. She emphasizes the importance of combining oral supplementation with topical applications to target specific issues like muscle cramps and sleep disturbances.

If you're looking to improve your family's health and well-being, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in to learn about the wonders of magnesium and how it can transform your life!
