What if one overlooked mineral could reboot your metabolism, slash pregnancy risks, and rescue you from burnout?
Dr. Carolyn Dean—MD-ND, author of The Magnesium Miracle, and RnA ReSet founder, spent 50 years solving women’s mineral gaps with ultra-absorbable picometer magnesium.
In this myth-busting episode, Dr. Dean exposes rampant magnesium deficiency, why farming, RO water, and “seven-form” pills miss the mark, shares a sea-salt hydration fix, and rapid-fires on eclampsia, thyroid stalls, carnivore gaps, and Big Pharma’s supplement grab.
