The Brain-Body Fix: How Magnesium, Omega-3s, & Vitamin D Transform Your Health

Up to 80% of people may be living with insufficient levels of
vitamin D, magnesium, and omega-3 fatty acids—three essential
nutrients involved in critical functions like immune defense,
cardiovascular health, mood regulation, and brain function. Modern
lifestyles—marked by nutrient-poor diets, low sun exposure, chronic
stress, and overuse of medications—disrupt the body’s ability to
absorb and maintain these key nutrients. Deficiencies often go
undiagnosed due to outdated testing, yet they’re strongly linked to
conditions like depression, fatigue, diabetes, and heart disease.
In this episode, I talk about, along with Andrew Huberman, how
modern lifestyles and diets lead to widespread nutrient
deficiencies and chronic disease—and how targeted nutrition and
lifestyle changes can restore optimal health. Dr. Andrew Huberman
is a neuroscientist and tenured Professor in the Department of
Neurobiology at the Stanford University School of Medicine. He has
made numerous important contributions to the fields of brain
development, brain function, and neural plasticity, which is the
ability of our nervous system to rewire and learn new behaviors,
skills, and cognitive functioning. Dr. Huberman is a McKnight
Foundation and Pew Foundation Fellow and was awarded the Cogan
Award in 2017, which is given to the scientist making the largest
discoveries in the study of vision. His lab’s most recent work
focuses on the influence of vision and respiration on human
performance and brain states such as fear and courage. Work from
the Huberman Laboratory at Stanford University School of Medicine
has been published in top journals including Nature, Science, and
Cell and has been featured in TIME, BBC, Scientific American,
Discover, and other top media outlets. This episode is brought to
