Magnesium: The Recovery Mineral Nobody Talks About

from The Fuelled Female · host Poppy Hawe

If you train hard and struggle to sleep — this episode is probably going to be one of those ones where things click into place.Magnesium is involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body. Most active women aren't getting enough of it. And the consequences show up as fatigue that doesn't fully clear, soreness that hangs around longer than it should, and sleep that doesn't feel restorative even when the hours are there.In this episode Poppy breaks down exactly what magnesium does, why training women are specifically at higher risk of running low, and the three areas where it matters most — muscle recovery, sleep quality, and the luteal phase of your cycle.Including Poppy's personal Garmin data on and off magnesium glycinate - the difference in deep sleep that made her stop treating this as optional. Plus why form matters more than most people realise, why magnesium oxide is a waste of money, and why stacking it in your morning supplements is probably the wrong time.📩 Comment FUEL on Poppy's latest Instagram post for the full fuelling and supplement guide.
