Magnesium Glycinate is the most underrated sleep enhancer on Earth.

It calms the nervous system, reduces anxiety, and promotes deep sleep.

I took it nightly for 30 days...

What it did for my energy and sleep changed everything🧵:

Magnesium is involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body.

But when it comes to sleep, stress, and mental clarity...

One form stands above the rest:

Magnesium Glycinate.

Here’s why it’s so powerful:

We’re chronically overstimulated:

- Stress
- Caffeine
- Blue light
- Social media

Magnesium Glycinate works like a brake system, activating the parasympathetic nervous system and helping your brain slow down.

But not all magnesium is created equal.

Most supplements use cheap forms (like magnesium oxide) that barely absorb.

Glycinate is highly bioavailable and bound to glycine (an amino acid that promotes calm and deeper sleep).

What makes this combo so unique?

- Magnesium lowers cortisol, your stress hormone
- Glycine increases serotonin, a precursor to melatonin

Together, they support GABA activity (your brain’s natural “calm switch”)

Here's what the studies say:

Magnesium helps improve:

- Sleep quality
- Sleep latency (how fast you fall asleep)
- Sleep efficiency (time asleep vs time in bed)

And it may even restore REM and slow-wave sleep, the deepest stages of recovery.

While glycine has it's own superpowers:

I take these Magnesium Glycinate gummies.

They're good quality, 3rd party tested, and have a touch of L'Theanine to compliment it's benefits.

Here's a great source if you're looking to try it:

Glycine by itself helps:

- Lowers core body temperature (a key trigger for sleep)
- Enhances memory and cognitive performance
- Reduces symptoms of anxiety and depression

Together, it’s like giving your brain a warm bath before bed.

But here's the problem:

Modern diets are magnesium-poor.

Stress, sugar, alcohol, and caffeine deplete it, and soil today has far less magnesium than 50 years ago.

Around 48% of adult Americans are deficient and don’t even know it.

Deficiency symptoms include:

- Restless sleep
- Chronic stress
- Muscle cramps
- Brain fog
- Low energy

Sound familiar?

That’s why restoring magnesium levels can feel like flipping a switch:

- Faster sleep onset
- Fewer nighttime wakeups
- More vivid dreaming
- Better mood upon waking

Here's how to take it:

- 200–500mg of Magnesium Glycinate at night
- Best taken with water, away from caffeine
- Start low to avoid digestive upset
- Optionally pair with taurine or theanine for enhanced calm

And AVOID these common forms:

- Magnesium oxide (low absorption)
- Magnesium citrate (may cause loose stools)
- Magnesium carbonate (mostly filler)

Glycinate = maximum absorption + minimal side effects

If you struggle with sleep, stress, or anxiety...

Fix your magnesium levels before you try extreme protocols.

Sometimes the most underrated molecules are the ones your body needed all along.

The hidden cause of stubborn belly fat, fatigue, and brain fog:

Insulin resistance.

Warning signs appear long before a diabetes diagnosis.

Here are 5 early signs to watch for (share this with someone you love)🧵

1. Skin tags.

1. Skin tags

Insulin triggers excess growth signals to skin cells.

Over time, this creates small raised tags... often on the neck or armpits.

They’re an early warning: your cells are no longer responding well to insulin.

Ignore this, and the next signs get harder to miss...

2. Dark patches on the neck or armpits

High insulin increases activity in pigment cells (melanocytes), creating dark, velvety skin folds.

This change will usually appears before lab markers do.

Once your skin reflects metabolic dysfunction, what's happening inside?

You’re not anxious.

You’re overdosing on your own cortisol.

Here are 9 body-based ways to break the stress loop 🧵

1. Tremoring (aka Neurogenic Shaking)

Modern stress isn’t mental.

It’s chemical.

When cortisol stays elevated for too long, it rewires your brain to expect threat... even when none exists.

Your body becomes the source of your fear.

Here’s how to physically interrupt that loop, and reset your nervous system:

1. Tremoring (aka Neurogenic Shaking)

Animals naturally shake after stress. Humans suppress it.

But this trembling discharges stored tension from the nervous system.

Try this: Lie down and let your legs shake freely for 2–3 minutes.

It looks odd. It works fast.

No matter how healthy you eat...

Your body won’t recover if your sleep is off.

Most people overlook the small changes that unlock real rest and full recovery.

So here are 8 that actually work 🧵

1. Keep your bedroom under 19°C

Your core temp must drop ~1°C to fall into deep sleep.

A cool room supports this drop.

In one NIH study, people in 19°C rooms had more stable REM and less waking during the night.

2. Avoid blue light at night

Screens trick your brain into thinking it's daytime.

Even 2 hours of late-night screen exposure can suppress melatonin by up to 50%.

Use blue light filters or wear amber glasses after 8PM.

Magnesium glycinate is the most powerful sleep aid no one’s talking about.

One dose calms nighttime anxiety, boosts deep sleep by 30%, and leaves you recharged and clear-headed by morning.

In this thread, I’ll explain how it works and how to use it safely🧵

Magnesium is needed for 300+ enzymatic reactions within your body.

But here’s the real shocker:

Nearly 70% of people are deficient, and most don't know it.

Fatigue, cramps, mood swings, poor sleep?

It might not be burnout... it could actually be a mineral deficiency.

Magnesium is neuroelectric currency.

Your brain uses it to control neurons, fire muscles, and calm your nervous system.

Deficiency? You feel:

- Wired but tired
- Panicked for no reason
- Like your battery won't recharge

Here's what happens if you get enough:

Your brain has a secret detox system that activates when you sleep:

The Glymphatic System.

When clogged, it traps toxins tied to Alzheimer's, brain fog & memory loss.

99% of people don't know it exists.

Here's how to activate it & protect your brain🧵

In 2012, scientists discovered something that stunned the medical world:

The brain has a hidden plumbing system.

One that only activates when you're asleep.

And if it's disrupted?

You slowly and silently start losing clarity, memory, & mental sharpness.

It's called the Glymphatic System.

And it may be the most important biological discovery in neuroscience this century.

Think of it as your brain’s trash disposal unit.

It flushes out toxic waste that if left, accelerates brain aging and disease.

But here's the twist:

If your blood sugar spikes all day, your fat-burning switch stays off.

Most people stay stuck here for years without realizing it.

So here are 10 ways to reset blood sugar and unlock fat-burning again🧵

1. Start your day with protein, not sugar.

1. Start your day with protein, not sugar

Most people start the day spiking insulin (cereal, toast, or a smoothie).

A high-protein breakfast (30g+) increases GLP-1, stabilizes glucose, and reduces cravings for 24 hours.

Think eggs, not instant oatmeal.

2. Walk after every meal

Just 10 minutes post-meal lowers blood sugar spikes by up to 30%.

Why it works:

It triggers GLUT-4 activation in muscles, pulling glucose from your bloodstream without needing insulin.

Less insulin = more fat-burning.
