The Mineral No One Talks About

If you’re tired, wired, and in pain—this one’s for you. Insomnia, stress, and chronic discomfort often show up together, and we tend to treat them like separate problems. But what if they all stem from something simple… and fixable? Lyndsay Soprano talks with Natalie Jurado, founder of Rooted In, about the quiet power of magnesium. Not the kind in chalky pills or powders that mess with your gut—but in a cream your body can actually absorb. Natalie shares how magnesium supports everything from sleep and anxiety to inflammation, energy, blood pressure, and even mood swings. They dig into how magnesium deficiency flies under the radar, why it's often misdiagnosed, and how most of us—kids included—aren’t getting enough. From ADHD to weight loss to workout recovery, magnesium plays a starring role in our well-being. And the truth is, food isn’t always enough. This conversation is equal parts science and real talk. It’s about understanding your body, getting ahead of burnout, and giving your nervous system the support it’s been quietly begging for. Tune in if you’ve tried everything for your pain, sleep, or stress—and nothing’s worked. This might be the missing piece.
