When you hear calcium, you probably think of milk, strong bones, and your mom telling you to drink another glass. But calcium is doing way more behind the scenes than most people realize. In this episode, we break down why this mighty mineral is essential for bone health, muscle function, nerve signaling, and even heart rhythm.
We talk about how much calcium you actually need, the best food sources (hint: it’s not just dairy), and why vitamin D is calcium’s best friend. Plus, we dive into common questions. Are supplements necessary? Can you take too much? What about kidney stones?
Whether you’re trying to keep your bones strong, prevent osteoporosis, or just want to understand what’s really happening inside your body, this episode gives you the calcium crash course, with a little fun along the way.
