Stress and high cortisol output causes us to deplete our magnesium like crazy.
Stress can increase the amount of magnesium we lose from our body – leading to a magnesium deficiency.
Due to modern soil being depleted in magnesium, magnesium becomes that much more important as a vital nutrient.
Our ancestors would have taken in more magnesium via their seafood, mineral water, organ meat, etc.
The problem with depletion of magnesium is that when you have low levels of magnesium, the point in which your adrenal glands pump out adrenaline and cortisol is also lower.
This means we are essentially caught in a cycle of high anxiety and stress- depleting more magnesium – reacting more easily to stress – depleting more magnesium – and so on.
