The Brain-Body Fix: How Magnesium, Omega-3s, & Vitamin D Transform Your Health

Coming up on this episode of the Dr. Hyman Show, about 20% of the population is living with overt magnesium deficiency. This is full-blown magnesium deficiency, and that's like one in five people. That's a lot of people. Subclinical or insufficiency, not true deficiency, we should see on a lab test, but insufficiency can affect up to 80% of the population.

Now before we jump into today's episode, I'd like to note that while I wish I could help everyone by my personal practice, there's simply not enough time for me to do this at scale. And that's why I've been busy building several passion projects to help you better understand, well, you.

Probably 80% of Americans are in deficient or have insufficient levels of vitamin D, levels that don't protect them optimally from the things that you want to have vitamin D protect you from, whether it's osteoporosis or depression or cancer or to boost your immune system so you don't get things like the flu or COVID. I mean, if you have a high vitamin D levels, your reduction in flu is 75%. That's more than the flu vaccine. So it really is a powerful nutrient.
