Signs of Low Magnesium: What Your Body Might Be Telling You

Magnesium is a powerful mineral that supports over 300 processes in the body—including muscle function, energy production, sleep quality, hormone regulation, and stress response. Yet, many men and women are unknowingly living with magnesium deficiency, especially during times of hormonal shifts, weight loss struggles, or chronic stress.

At Aberdeen Peak Hormonal Health, we believe in getting to the root of symptoms—not just masking them. If you’ve been feeling "off" but your labs keep coming back normal, low magnesium could be one of the hidden culprits.

Common Signs of Low Magnesium

âś” Muscle cramps or spasms (especially in the legs or feet)
âś” Fatigue and low energy, even with adequate sleep
âś” Irritability, anxiety, or mood swings
âś” Poor sleep or frequent waking at night
âś” Headaches or migraines
âś” Constipation or sluggish digestion
âś” PMS or worsened menopause symptoms
âś” Irregular heartbeat or palpitations
âś” Cravings for chocolate, salt, or carbs

These symptoms are especially common in perimenopausal and menopausal women, as well as men with low testosterone—two groups we focus on at Aberdeen Peak Hormonal Health.

Why It Matters for Hormones and Weight Loss

Low magnesium can make it harder to:

  • Manage cortisol, your stress hormone

  • Regulate insulin and blood sugar

  • Lose weight, especially around the belly

  • Feel calm, rested, and emotionally balanced

If you’re on a hormone replacement therapy (HRT) plan or working to lose weight, restoring magnesium levels can enhance your results and reduce symptoms faster.
