Supplement with magnesium
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 electrolytes
There have been a couple of times—doing CrossFit in the middle of summer in Texas, and doing hot yoga several times a week in New York—where I’ve experienced being electrolyte-deficient.
It shows up as extreme fatigue, brain fog, headaches, cravings, and a “wired but tired” feeling.
Especially if you’re active and in hot climates, be sure to get some high-quality salts (sea salt, Himalayan), mineral-rich foods (leafy greens, beans, nuts), and/or low-sugar electrolyte drinks. I get the Liquid I.V. electrolyte packets.

Get vitamin D
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.
Get regular sun exposure, eating vitamin-D–rich foods (like eggs, salmon, and mushrooms), and/or take a supplement.
