Magnesium the miracle mineral could only possible have good intentions and affects, right? While magnesium is an imperative mineral good for human health, sometimes the body is not quite ready to receive it in the way we give it. 

In this episode, I dig into what you need to consider if you've tried magnesium and it made you feel worse instead of better. Trust me, you're gonna love this episode. Buckle up because this episode is fueled by my firey side (and lots of LOVE)!

So many people come to the mineral banquet and just assume they can dive right in to their hearts content (metaphorically speaking), yet often times there is a lot going on in their system that could make it not go down so smoothly.

I start the episode with a REFRAME we all need to hear whether we are dealing with magnesium backfiring or not.

I also referenced plenty of past episodes I've done that could correlate with steps you may need to be taking or education about your body that you don't yet know or have yet.

Bottom line: everything affects everything. No mineral acts as a god unto itself. No system works alone no nutrient works alone. Every single one of us has a lifetime of factors that can play a role in how we approach our nutrition. Even just getting magnesium implemented and tolerated properly.

So, if you are feeling frustrated that magnesium isn't working right for you yet - do not give up and don't blame the magnesium. It's an invitation to go deeper. To learn more about your body and how it works. To seek the right path for YOU and you only! Your body is different than any other body on the planet, so it needs it's own approach. Even if there are blueprints, formulas and protocols out there -it doesn't always mean they will work seamlessly for you.

There’s a quiet intelligence in your body that knows how to heal, if you remember how to listen. Rewilded Wellness is a conversation about returning to that conversation-the one between you and the natural world that shaped our biology. Host Lydia Joy guides these explorations, moving beyond generic advice to examine personalized, nature-inspired approaches to well-being. Episodes weave together functional nutrition, mindful movement, and mental resilience practices, all through the lens of our inherent connection to the environment. You’ll hear discussions on how seasonal eating aligns with our internal rhythms, why physical movement is more than just exercise, and ways to cultivate a mindset that supports sustainable health. This isn’t about adding more complexity to your life; it’s about stripping back the noise to access the foundational wisdom we all carry. The podcast operates on the core idea that vibrant health is an active partnership with the wildness within and around us. Tune in for grounded, thoughtful dialogues that reframe healing not as a destination, but as a daily practice of realignment and trust in your own capacity.
