Is the key to better sleep, calmer nerves, sharper focus—and even stronger bones—hidden in a mineral most people misunderstand?

In this episode, I’m joined by Meg Esser, holistic nutritionist and co-owner of ITL Health, a Canadian family-run supplement company on a mission to make magnesium simple, effective, and accessible. Known as the magnesium expert, Meaghan breaks down exactly how to choose the right form for your body—and what most people get wrong.

We explore:

💤 Why magnesium is essential for quality sleep and nervous system regulation

🧠 How different forms (like citrate, bisglycinate, and L-threonate) affect brain, mood & focus

💩 The surprising connection between magnesium and digestion (hint: it’s not always a laxative)

💪 The role magnesium plays in muscle cramps, recovery, and restless legs

🦴 What every woman should know about magnesium, calcium, K2 & bone health

🧒 Why kids need magnesium too—and how it supports their sleep, focus, and emotions

🥄 Powders vs capsules vs topicals: how to choose the most absorbable form for your needs

Whether you're navigating perimenopause, parenting chaos, muscle tension, or brain fog—this episode will help you confidently add one of the most essential (and underappreciated) minerals to your wellness routine.
