Supplement with magnesium
Why: Magnesium is involved in over 300 bodily processes, including energy production, muscle contraction, nerve signaling, blood sugar regulation, and protein synthesis. It’s essential for balance, performance, and recovery.
Modern diets don’t provide enough, so supplementation can be helpful.
Types:
Glycinate — best for sleep, calm, and recovery.
Malate — good for energy production and muscle function.
Threonate — crosses the blood–brain barrier; good for focus and mood.
Citrate — helpful for digestion.

Get your salt & minerals
Why: Low electrolytes can show up as extreme fatigue, poor concentration, headaches, cravings, and that “wired but tired” feeling.
Helpful sources are high-quality salts (sea salt, Himalayan), mineral-rich foods (leafy greens, beans, nuts), and low-sugar electrolyte drinks.

Get vitamin D
Why: Vitamin D is a hormone precursor, meaning your body needs it to make hormones that regulate energy, mood, immunity, and metabolism.
Being low can leave you tired, moody, more prone to illness, and make fat loss harder.
Ways to get it: Regular sunlight exposure, eating vitamin-D–rich foods (like eggs, salmon, and mushrooms), or taking a supplement.
