The Real Reason You’re Tired, Wired, and Can’t Sleep at Night

Updated: September 19, 2025

Ask Lara Interview

What do headaches, restless nights, muscle cramps, brain fog, and constant stress have in common?

They might all point to one thing…

A hidden magnesium deficiency.

In this eye-opening interview, AlgaeCal’s Monica sits down with Lara Pizzorno, bone health expert and author of Healthy Bones, Healthy You, to uncover the real reason so many of us are exhausted, irritable, and wired-but-tired. Even when we’re “doing everything right.”

Because according to Lara, the problem isn’t just lifestyle. It’s that modern living is draining our magnesium faster than we can replace it.

But there’s good news. With the right form (and the right cofactors), you can replenish your levels, and feel the difference.

In this exclusive conversation, you’ll discover:

  • Why your stress might be flushing out the very mineral you need to calm down — and how this creates a vicious cycle that affects your sleep, mood, and metabolism.
  • The most accurate magnesium test to ask your doctor for. (Hint: it’s not the one most labs run.)
  • Why magnesium is essential for your heart, hormones, and bones — not just your nerves. Plus, how it activates vitamin D and builds collagen.
  • The difference between magnesium citrate, bisglycinate, and malate — and why combining them is a game-changer.
  • The hidden trap in many B-complex vitamins that could be making things worse — and the active form of B6 you actually need.
  • How zinc, ashwagandha, and magnesium work together to improve your resilience, mood, and sleep quality — especially during menopause and aging.
  • Why even a healthy diet might not be enough anymore (and what pesticides, phosphate fertilizers, and aging do to your magnesium levels). Why your healthy diet might not be protecting you anymore.

And so much more.

If you’ve ever wondered why you still feel “off” — even with a healthy diet and supplement routine — don’t miss this.

Because if Lara’s right, you’re not broken. You’re just missing something essential.
