You started magnesium for constipation. It worked.And then… it didn’t.Now you’re increasing the dose, relying on it nightly, and wondering why your body won’t cooperate.Here’s the truth: if magnesium stopped working, it’s not because you need more of it.Magnesium can support bowel movements. But it doesn’t fix the reason your system slowed down in the first place.In this episode, I break down:• What magnesium actually does (and what it doesn’t)• The mineral patterns I see when it “stops working”• Why potassium, bile flow, and stress matter more than you think• How you can poop daily and still be constipated• What actually restores long-term rhythm instead of relying on stimulationConstipation is rarely just a colon issue.
