Feeling tired, foggy, anxious, or struggling with PMS and thyroid symptoms? The missing link might be minerals, especially magnesium. In this episode, Sophie sits down with Dr. Carolyn Dean, a leading expert on magnesium and mineral health, to break down how minerals impact thyroid function, hormones, and energy levels.

Dr. Dean shares why stress depletes minerals so fast, why many magnesium supplements don’t work, and how to recognize signs of mineral deficiency. She also explains how mineral imbalances can mimic hypothyroid symptoms and what forms of magnesium actually support energy, sleep, and overall wellness.
