Unlock the Power of Magnesium: The Most Underrated Nutrient for Optimal Health and Preventing Chronic Disease

The Modern Vital Podcast

The first episode of The Modern Vital Podcast with Dr. Ben Reebs discusses the importance of magnesium in the human body. Magnesium is an essential nutrient that is required for over 300 biochemical reactions and enzymes in the body. Magnesium is found in nuts, legumes, whole grains, fruit, coffee, cocoa, dairy, meats, and fish. Harder water is also high in dissolved minerals and can be a rich source of magnesium.
Deficiency in magnesium is underdiagnosed in the world as the body compensates for any magnesium deficiency by reabsorbing magnesium from the bones when it needs more. Magnesium is also in the brain in cerebrospinal fluid and plays a significant role in detoxification as it is required to make glutathione, the body's most important antioxidant.
Chronic stress can lead to magnesium depletion as magnesium moves from the intracellular compartment or fluids to the extracellular fluids under stress, and then once the magnesium is in the blood, it can be filtered by the kidneys and excreted in urine. As the body adapts under chronic stress to maintain adequate function, magnesium stores can be depleted. Magnesium absorption is mainly in the small intestine, particularly in the distal jejunum and ileum. Therefore, any condition that impairs magnesium absorption such as small intestinal bacterial overgrowth could be detrimental to health.
