Smelly feet, restless legs, poor sleep, muscle cramps?

Let’s talk about feet. Yes—feet. 👣 Foot odor is usually blamed on sweat and bacteria, and that’s true. But there’s another layer that often gets missed: mineral balance, especially magnesium. Sugar's Role in Magnesium Loss - High sugar intake increases magnesium loss through urine - Insulin spikes increase the body’s demand for magnesium - Processed diets tend to be low in magnesium to begin with Put those together, and it helps explain why magnesium deficiency is extremely common, especially in modern diets. Magnesium plays a quiet but critical role in: - nerve signaling - muscle relaxation - sweat regulation - energy production When magnesium is low, the nervous system can run a little hotter. More stress signalling can lead to increased sweating, creating a more favourable environment for odour-causing bacteria. So while foot odour isn’t a diagnostic sign of magnesium deficiency, it can show up alongside other signs like muscle cramps, restless legs, poor sleep, or feeling “wired but tired.” The good news? Magnesium is very forgiving. Some people do well with food sources, some with supplements (magnesium glycinate, malate or L-Threonate), and some prefer topical magnesium (like magnesium oil or gel). Applying it to the legs or feet can be especially appealing at night, when relaxation is the goal. I love a good foot massage! Evidence for skin absorption is still emerging, but many people report subjective benefits such as calmer legs and better sleep. Ultimately, calm bodies smell less dramatic anyway. 😉

I hesitate to post dessert-like recipes. I hope these don’t trigger anyone. If they do, then let me know. These are decadent. Not sure they qualify as protein balls. I would recommend them for sharing. 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp cream cheese 1/4 cup allulose, erythritol or monk fruit sweetener (or whatever zero carb sweetener you like) 2 tbsp maca powder (or cocoa powder for chocolate) 1 tsp coconut milk (or your preference) 1tsp vanilla extract Mix together with a hand blender, or whatever tool you can muster. Mix until smooth, then refrigerate 3 hours or overnight. Make 8 balls. Place back in the fridge. If you want to be fancy, then you can drizzle with chocolate sauce. 1/4 cup whipping cream 2 tbsp sweetener or equivalent of liquid Stevia 1 tbsp of finely chopped unsweetened chocolate 1 teaspoon vanilla Drizzle chocolate over each ball with a spoon. Serve chilled. Keep in the fridge for up to four days. Watch your macros! 123 calories per ball 10g fat 2g protein 4g carbs 2g fibre Recipe inspired by Maria Emmerich’s Malted Milk Truffle Balls

Here I keep things simple. Typically eggs. 🥚 🥚🥚 3 eggs scrambled in a tablespoon of bacon fat If I have mushrooms, I sauté one chopped mushroom and pour the eggs over the pieces. If you don't tolerate eggs well, then sausages or bacon on their own are good, too. I'd also love some inspiration. Are there any protein-rich breakfast foods you eat that are grain-free and low in carbohydrates?
