Medical & Health

Not all magnesium supplements are created equal, and the “best” type depends on what symptoms you’re trying to manage.

💩 For Digestion & Constipation
➡️Magnesium Citrate
* Stronger laxative effect
* Good for short-term use
* Can cause diarrhea if overused

🧠 For Brain Health
➡️ Magnesium Threonate
* Crosses the blood-brain barrier
* May improve cognitive function and memory
* Often used for brain fog or neurological support

💪🏻 For Muscles & Physical Recovery
➡️ Magnesium Sulfate
* Relieves sore muscles and cramps
* Reduces inflammation and tension
* Aids recovery after exercise (topically via baths)

⚡️For Muscle Cramps, Recovery, or Energy
➡️ Magnesium Malate
* Supports energy production (Krebs cycle)
* Good for fatigue and fibromyalgia
* May help with muscle pain

💤 For Stress, Anxiety, and Sleep
➡️ Magnesium Glycinate
* Calming and well-absorbed
* Gentle on the stomach
* Good for anxiety, sleep, and muscle relaxation

♥️ For Heart Health or Blood Pressure
➡️ Magnesium Taurate
* Supports cardiovascular health
* May help with blood pressure regulation
* Taurine is calming and heart-protective

🧪 Extra Tips:

* Check absorption: Chelated forms like glycinate, threonate, and malate are better absorbed than oxide.

* Watch for fillers: Choose high-quality brands with third-party testing.

* Dosing: Most adults need around 300–400 mg of elemental magnesium daily (from food + supplements).

BioLounge providers have advanced training and education in functional medicine and longevity science as well as a comprehensive understanding of biochemistry, biology, and biometrics. We are passionate about sharing that information with YOU.

We recently hosted a FREE class on metabolic health - from strength training and nutrition to hormones and the nervous system. Our expert-panel talked about targeted nutrition, lifestyle, and support.

This class was limited to 20 participants and filled up quickly.

Bottom line: Even though brain benefits may be less likely when starting HRT later, the gains in bone, bladder, and sexual health—as well as overall vitality—can be substantial over the age of 65.

It’s never too late to explore your options, especially with a hormone-literate provider who can tailor therapy to your needs and goals.

Living longer doesn’t mean living better.

The average American now spends the last 20+ years of life battling chronic disease-propped up by meds, surgeries, and symptom management.

That’s not longevity. That’s managed decline.

➡️ The real problem? The healthcare system doesn’t care if you’re thriving-only if you’re surviving.

Want real longevity? Reverse inflammation, build muscle, prioritize sleep, and fix your metabolic health.

We want improved HEALTH SPAN, not just lifespan.

One of the surprising knowledge drops you’ll get at this Friday’s Brain Health
Masterclass... 🧠☠️

❓Did you know certain mycotoxins—mold-based toxins found in everyday foods—may contribute to Alzheimer’s disease?

➡️ Megan Barnett, MS, CNS will be breaking down this under-recognized risk.

She’ll explore how:

✅ Aflatoxin B1 (grains, nuts): crosses the blood-brain barrier, increases oxidative stress,
promotes amyloid-beta

✅ Ochratoxin A (grains, coffee, dried fruit): damages hippocampal neurons, impairs
memory

✅ Fumonisin B1 (corn, grains): disrupts brain lipids, linked to cognitive decline in studies

This is the kind of insight you only get from someone at the intersection of functional nutrition, Alzheimer’s prevention, and environmental toxins—a rare but essential combination if you want to protect your brain for the long haul.

📅 This Friday at noon

🎥 Not too late to join the full series or get the recordings

Stuck in a lunch rut and always resorting to eating out?

This is one of the most common challenges our nutritionists hear from clients. Nail your lunch, and you’ve already improved ⅓ of your daily nutrition!

🌱 Check out our nutritionist’s giant lunch salad!

💚 When time is tight, she keeps it simple with a premade greens mix, cabbage, fresh herbs, and a pre-cooked protein like rotisserie chicken.

🥗 To make it even more satistying, she adds a complex carb-beans, quinoa, sweet potatoes, or gluten-free crackers..

➡️ Toss it all together with some olive oil, vinegar and salt/pep for the healthiest lunch ever.

✅ Pro tip: Build a salad bar in your fridge to make it even easier-just grab and go! For an extra boost, add seeds like sunflower or pumpkin seeds for added micronutrients like magnesium, zinc, iron, vitamin E, and selenium.

Did you know that choline is an essential nutrient that supports brain health and can help delay brain aging? 🕒

🔑 Key Functions of Choline:
- Cell Membrane Health: Choline is a precursor for phosphatidylcholine, a major lipid in cell membranes.
- Neurotransmitter Synthesis: It’s needed to make acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter crucial for memory and executive function.

💡 Choline & Brain Integrity:
- Supports brain white matter tracts and brain volume.
- Enhances memory and executive function.

🧬 Genetic Variation & Choline Needs:
- Did you know some people need more choline than others? Genetic factors can affect how much choline your body requires to maintain optimal brain health.
- If you have genetic variations in certain genes (like PEMT), you may have a higher need for choline-rich foods to support brain function.

📉 Choline Deficiency:
- Studies show that 90% of Americans don’t get enough choline from their diets, putting them at risk for cognitive decline and other health issues.

🥩 Top Sources of Choline:
- Animal-based proteins: meat, poultry, fish, eggs 🐟🍳
- Vegetables: Cruciferous veggies (like broccoli, Brussels sprouts) and beans 🌱

Add more choline-rich foods to your diet for cognitive support and delayed brain aging—especially if you have higher genetic needs! 🧠✨
