Magnesium seems to be everywhere right now, but what does it actually do, and do you really need more of it? In this episode, Tonya is joined by Dr. Stella Volpe from Virginia Tech to explore the science behind magnesium, its role in the body, and how to recognize the signs of a deficiency. If you've ever wondered whether the hype is justified or if a magnesium supplement is right for you, this episode will help you separate fact from fiction and leave you with practical, evidence-based takeaways.
