I Spent 12 Hours Researching a Single Supplement. I'd Do It Again.

Reading time: 1 min

I've spent close to 12 hours on a single magnesium article.

Magnesium is all over social media right now. People keep asking for my professional opinion, and I wanted to write something evergreen. Accurate. Balanced. Correct. So I started pulling apart the research properly.

Then I couldn't stop.

I checked study designs, sample sizes, flaws. I looked at whether the conclusions actually matched the data. I found good evidence buried under hype and real problems that nobody mentions.

12 hours on one article.

This keeps happening. My research essays, my thesis, my research papers, my blog articles. Every time I sit down to do proper research, I lose track of time and land on the same realization.

I genuinely enjoy this.

The digging. The reading. The slow work of turning messy evidence into something clear.

That's what pulls me in when nobody is making me do it. The magnesium piece will be out soon. 12 hours didn't feel like 12 hours.

Been listening to this on repeat while writing this: Billy Joel, My Life.
