Learn why magnesium glycinate is the best form for better rest, deeper sleep, and a calmer mind.

When you’re in a constant state of stress, you’re firing off stress hormones such as cortisol.

The problem with high cortisol and stress levels are that they mess with your blood sugar and literally ‘block’ weight loss attempts.
