In this week’s episode of MOHIvate, Dr. Mohi Sarawgee explores magnesium - the mineral of balance and the molecule wellness culture has turned into a miracle.
Not the promise of creams and sprays, but the chemistry that powers energy, sleep, mood, and muscle.
She unpacks what magnesium truly does inside the body, how it fuels over 300 essential reactions, and why it matters across every stage of life — from hormones and heart rhythm to recovery and rest.
From myths and mechanisms to meaning, this episode bridges science and self-awareness - revealing how this humble mineral keeps the body’s rhythm steady in a world that never stops.
Because understanding balance isn’t about trends.
It’s about biology.
