Today, I want to cover the first sign of magnesium deficiency. Many people don’t get enough magnesium from their diet, not to mention other factors that deplete magnesium.
Magnesium is a cofactor involved in 350 enzymes. A cofactor is something that is required by an enzyme to work.
Symptoms of magnesium deficiency:
• Cramping
• Twitching
• Arrhythmia
• Osteoporosis
• Osteomalacia
• Insulin resistance
• Insomnia
• High cortisol
• Depression
However, the number one symptom of magnesium deficiency is fatigue.
The top cause of low magnesium is not consuming enough magnesium in the diet. Foods rich in magnesium are vegetables and leafy greens.
Consuming large salads is a great way to get the magnesium you need. But you can also take a magnesium supplement. If you do take a supplement, consider magnesium glycinate.
Other causes of magnesium deficiency:
1. Refined foods
2. Fructose
3. Alcohol
4. Certain medications

Thanks for watching! I hope this increases your awareness of magnesium deficiency and how to get the magnesium you need. I’ll see you in the next video.
I’ve suffered with fatigue for MANY years 😩 A couple of weeks ago, on Sept 22nd, I decided to double my Mg intake. I cannot believe that I have NOT had ANY fatigue for two weeks now!! I’m floored!! This is huge! This is like a dream come true 🥰 So happy you are sharing this info! 🤗
That's grate! Did you go to a doctor before you started to eat the magnesium or did you just start on your own?
How much do you take now?
@alisonlogee
👏 That's fantastic 👏👏👏. I've been taking magnesium for the past several years to help with insomnia and it helps me to relax and fall asleep easier.
But I too have been EXTREMELY FATIGUED for many years and my doctor blows me off 😢😔😡. Would you PLEASE 🙏 let me know which brand you take and how much so that I might be blessed with the same experience as you? I would GREATLY APPRECIATE IT!!!
So happy for you.
6:30pm. I noticed that when my B-12 was low,I was more fatigued than when magnesium is low. Keep an eye on your RBC and B-12. Feel better
Wow that’s a miracle!! Curious to know what your diet is like as well?
Dr.Berg, he Is what medicine should do,should teach, should explain to people....instead of approving drugs.
The don't care about people, just money
The greatest problem with modern medicine is it is a 2 trillion dollar industry. Plenty of hacks are in for the money ONLY.
Pharma won’t allow it
MEDICAL doctors have their hands tied. They lose their licence in the US if they deviate one iota from the strict handbook which supports big pharma. And, they are not taught good nutrition. Only dentists, chiropractitioners etc can speak the truth!
Yes - Internal Medicine Doctors no nothing about what to eat and not to eat.
Great video!
I was definitely mag deficient ( insomnia, IR, cramping, and all the hair had fallen off my legs) but fatigue was not an issue. I was always jacked up on cortisol due to chronic stress.
Months of salads made me worse with severe bloating. I wasn’t digesting due to lack of HCL. And I wasn’t absorbing the magnesium and other supplements. I cut out salads and did a daily blended cabbage juice instead of salads.
I started a daily morning routine of soaking my feet in epsom salt for 30 minutes with deep breathing and increased my HCl and supplements with meals.
Also, IF and low carb. The keto was depleting me.
No cell phone or blue light after dinner. I walk my dog after dinner and started playing guitar again and reading before bed.
The hair grew back on my legs, I no longer have cramps, and insomnia is gone.
It’s an ongoing process but you have to continually find what works for you.
Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
Peace love and blessings.
Blended cabbage juice?
What's IR?
@@jimf937 Insulin resistance. If you’ve got a belly you have it. You get it from spiking your blood sugar constantly with high carb/sugar foods like bread and crackers/cookies. Even just eating too many meals snacks.
Apple cider vinegar can increase your stomach acid and help with absorption and actually help stop acid reflux. Your stomach sphincter only closes if there is enough acid. Docs will give you an antacid when most people need more acid not less. More evidence docs don’t know half the things they think they do. Yet are too puffed up to change. Why Dr. Berg is 1000% better than a traditional doc.
What kind of guitar 😉
00:00 🧪 Magnesium deficiency is common in the United States, affecting 68% of the population due to dietary insufficiency and other factors.
02:43 🛌 Fatigue is a significant symptom of magnesium deficiency, as magnesium is crucial for energy production and muscle function.
03:38 🫀 Magnesium is essential for maintaining a healthy heart by regulating calcium levels and supporting the sodium-potassium pump.
04:21 🥗 Leafy greens and vegetables, particularly in salads, are excellent sources of magnesium and potassium, helping prevent deficiency.
05:45 💊 If dietary magnesium intake is insufficient, consider magnesium glycinate supplements, avoiding types like magnesium oxide, hydroxide, and carbonate.
@@aemyay5169 you're welcome
Thanks, mate.
Thank you
Thanks 👍
A very useful summary & reminder, thanks !!
I want to cry. Because I am happy that I found Dr Berg, that he teaches me and that I get the answers I am looking for. But also because I am sad. This video gives me the answers my doctors didn't give me for the past 4 years. At least now I know what to work on again, thank you Dr Berg! 🙏🏼
Well said.........me too
A neurologist prescribed me Lyrica for my legs but the side effects were brutal. I took magnesium and stopped the prescription meds and my leg issues improved significantly. Told neurologist and didn’t even get a reaction or affirmation. Sad.
And never may you stray from Dr.Berg again!
It’s so sad that all doctors out there don’t spend time to find the root cause of illness. Dr Berg is the hero. I wish I can find doctor like him in my area.
I wish everyone healing to their bodies and peace of mind after all the stress of these symptoms ...it made me wanna cry too because ....my older brother is scared to stop taking his high blood pressure medicine...and i hope he knows now that magnesium helps ...but im scared for him cuz the drs have him scared that like he cant make his enlarged heart normal again..because it has to be able to go back to normal again....but i hate the systmes too i hate how we have to stress alot to make a living
I like that Dr Berg talks to us about self-improvement instead of relying solely on pills and surgery 👏🏾
I had chronic fatigue years ago, I would sleep for 15 hours a day and STILL be constantly tired. I went to drs and naturopaths. Eventually I asked the naturopath if maybe I could be Magnesium deficient and she put me on a magnesium supplement and the difference was unbelievable! Within days I was back to normal. Totally agree that fatigue is the best indicator 💪
Do you mind sharing the supplement? I too can sleep 15+ hours a day. The type of tired I am isn't just fatigue it's beyond exhaustion.. help!! I'm useless
@@RealGoneDame Hey mate sorry to hear you’re going through that! Unfortunately I’m in Australia and its an Australian product called “Ultra Muscleze” …not sure if its available worldwide but its from a company called “bioceuticals” I’m pretty sure any mag supplement should be ok. I think mag glycerate is the best kind? You could also try taking baths in epsom salts. You’ve also got to get your gut in order, because I think thats at the root of the problem…thats been a life long challenge for me. good luck my friend 👍
@@cooganbeggs4942thanks so very much for sharing
@@RealGoneDame How much Magnesium you have to take and in what form could you please tell me . Thanks very much
Here's another one, fatty liver also causes fatigue. Everyone thinks fatty liver is just from alcohol, nope its also from eating too much sugar. So again diet and exercise. All the things causing Americans to be obese and develop diabetes are also causing them to have low energy.
What scares me is how Dr. Berg knows exactly what information I need at every point in time, post after post. Thank you, sir 🙏
it doesn't scare, but rather comforting!
Ikr😂
@yoyonis6840 the coincidence is scary. You won't understand it. He posts exactly my struggles, post after post.
Dr berg is my #1 any thing i want to know i look for answers on his videos
If you are taking PPI's your ability to absorb magnesium is greatly affected. I ended up in intensive care for 4 days due to low magnesium. You require magnesium to process potassium. With low potassium my heart was palpitating. Definitely use a supplement if you are over 50. Don't risk it. Low magnesium is an awful feeling and he is right, like your battery is not charging overnight.
Thank you for sharing that. Sorry you had to go through all that, all the best
I'm taking the liquid magnesium supplement that Dr. Berg suggested. But it's not helping my Atrial fibrillation.
Maybe try Boron 5mg per day with your Mg supplement ? It makes the Mg work.@@remyllebeau77
PPI the most prescribed drug here in UK and probably worldwide. Two weeks max unless other issues. The damage they do is horrendous. My daughter suffered
3 tbsp of Hemp hearts gives 45% daily magnesium value!
A million thank you,Dr Berg!!!!
You have saved my life and helped me deliver healthy twins at 38!
Wonderful! Glad to help!
Congratulations. Can you share how he helped you. Plz
Please share how and congratulations
Yes pls share
@@rajaahsan5646hello
Did she answered you in private?
No one is getting a reply
Thanks
I was experiencing heart palpitations and muscle cramping. After listening to your videos and following your advice, I have had no problems for about a year now. I also added B-1 to my regiment. Thank you Dr. Berg!
How are feeling after adding B1?
Dr. Berg. The following comment's are not related to this video but I had to share some personal information with you and how your video's have helped me so much. January 2023 I had my first A1C test and was told at 6.4 I was pre-diabetic. A month later I was at my Dr's office and he did another test and I was even higher at 6.6.
I really didn't know what to do till my brother suggested I check out your videos.
The first one I saw was "What would happen if you gave up sugar for two weeks". That video changed my life. The fact that the medical industry doesn't share this info is criminal. When you stated that if to much sugar is the problem, then why don't you stop eating sugar, it just sounded right to me. And that's exactly what I did. I weighed 270#'s at 6'1" tall.
I had a follow up in three months and I was down to 250#'s and the A1C had dropped to 5.7. Still the low end of pre-diabetes but moving in the right direction.
Today I had a follow up and my A1C was 4.8!!! and my weight was 207! I now read food labels but not once have concerned myself with calories, and have never gone to bed hungry! Thank you so much!!! I look forward to many years of watching your videos!
Great testimony, thanks for sharing. Hiw long did it take to lose 70lbs?

@@beankeys8812 Ok roger back up on the way, ''one adam 56 request back up as soon as possible, fellow keto officer down! send carnivore medic as well to the scene!''
Thank you. What foods?
Glycinate
Salads
coconut water?
Pumpkin seeds?
Dr. Taras, my dentist, used a
spectrophotometer combined with a computer to test for heavy metal toxicity and mineral deficiencies. It’s easy, non-invasive, and the world’s only intra-cellular test.
Once I found out the minerals I was deficient in, took those religiously for one year, went back to retest, and got my levels back to normal.
Magnesium was my worst deficiency and now I feel fantastic! ❤
Awesome thank you for sharing 😊
Cool. Thanks for sharing.
I've been struggling with magnesium deficiency for 10 months with no signs of improvement. Could I ask what form of magnesium you took? How much? How many times per day? I'm desperate, and no doctor (conventional medicine) has been able to guide/help me on this.
I recently was watching this daytime program and the host had a nutritionist on her show telling everyone about vitamins and minerals and specifically she mentioned magnesium. She said that if someone was eating breakfast cereal in the morning and that it was "fortified", as many overly processed, cold cereals indicate on the outside of the box, that they'd be fine. I about lost it. I don't know how anyone can think that they can get the necessary vitamins and minerals they need from a "fortified", sugar laden, overly processed, cold breakfast cereal. Thanks for this important information!
Coconut water, the fresh one (not in can) is also very rich of magnesium. It tastes so good, especially the cold one.
But it has 13% sugar!
@@CaroleMatheson it's not refined sugar. I drink it every single day. And l'm healthy, never in medication for more than 30 years.
So u break a coconut or buy a certain brand ? 40 yrs ago, my mom would break a coconut to bake my dad's favorite cake but that's work!
@@bonitahamilton5762 it's so easy to get fresh coconut here as l live in a tropical country. The seller will break it for you.
I wish Dr. Berg was my personal doc.
Truly a great doctor who takes time researching and finding root causes
Wow, what a time for this video to come out. I quite literally bought Magnesium supplements last night because I came to the conclusion that I was super low. (Was still getting fatigue and now nerve pain, muscle twitches) Also turns out if you take large doses of vitamin D, which I do since I have autoimmune issues, it depletes Mg, so worth looking into!
I brought a head of lettuce to a dinner party. People thought I was making a salad to contribute. No. It was my salad. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to eat that much salad while also holding a conversation with friends and strangers? I also had to use what was going to be a punch bowl as my salad bowl. I'm super fun at dinner parties.
😂😂😂
😂
Head iceberg lettuce has almost zero nutrients. Go with organic spring mix and or arugula. Will be much better
We're so blessed to have your wealth of knowledge, daily and without payment. Thank for sharing another amazing video Dr. Berg ❤
Wow. I've complained about these symptoms to my doctor, and I was never offered magnesium or potassium. You are a wonderful Doctor. Thank you 💞💞..
Me too! They offered me diet pills that they said would give me energy instead, and they just made me nervous and filled with more anxiety. Recently visited a wholistic dietitian and they gave me magnesium and other vitamins to help balance out my deficiencies.
Nobody in the world get sufficient zinc and megnisuium,😢it's difficult now a days to even get proper protein.Whole world of food is filled with high carb and Omega 6 fats which are abundant
It's true.
I'm so glad you mentioned the mitochondrial need for magnesium to produce ATP. However, I've found many patients I work with consume copious amounts of magnesium, and they still have magnesium deficiency. RBC Magnesium is the best measure for magnesium status and should be as close to 6.5 mg/dL. But taking more magnesium and expecting it to replete your deficiency is like filling a cup of water with a hole in it, and expecting that cup to keep the water in it. That means, if you don't address the mitochondrial "stressors" you will always be playing catch up with the magnesium dosing.
I was never explained from doctors about magnesium deficiencies or potassium when I was diagnosed with a-fib 14 years ago. I've been doing your healthy keto for 1-1/2 years now. I also use a supplement d-ribos which has and is helping me with those deficiencies along with just OMAD. Thank you Dr. Berg for all your great knowledge and advice!!!! You have been the most help for me while on this amazing journey!!!!
I was not sleeping well. I tried everything including what my doctor said about helping to lower my cortisol levels and resetting my circadian rhythm but I would be up until 3am and I would not want to get up until 10 or 11am. I felt awful... I tried Zolpidem, I tried melatonin, hell I even tried THC gummies for sleep. Nothing seemed to really help.
I ended up getting magnesium chloride bath salts that I soak in the bathtub before bed and Magnesium glycinate gummies.
What a game changer. I have never felt better... I was definitely magnesium deficient.
Now my stress levels are normal and I'm sleeping so well. I fall asleep within a few minutes now and sleep all night.
Listen to him... magnesium is so important!
Omg im so happy he mentioned the glycinate form specifically! It makes me appreciate my doctor so much more!! I went in to see her during my first trimester, struggling with pregnancy depression and trying to figure out how to manage it without meds. As with many docs, she first told me about my options as far as prescriptions go since SSRIs are considered safe during pregnancy. Well, I didn't want them, and I told her I would only consider them as a last resort and was hoping to find a more natural solution. She was super happy about this and then recommended magnesium glycinate, specified it had to be glycinate, and I started taking them that day! Let me tell you something here, I've dealt with depression throughout a lot of my life and it's gotta be pretty bad for me to talk to a doctor about it tbh. Taking the extra magnesium has taken the edge off and allowed me to really enjoy my pregnancy, get along better with my bf, and has eased some of the other preggo symptoms like leg cramps and not being able to sleep well at night!!! I consider it my miracle supplement lmao
I rely on Rune Organics' magnesium for muscle and nerve support. It's been a dependable solution for my health.
Pumpkin seeds are the best way to get a good amount of Magnesium. The majority won't eat such amount of salads every single day. I crush the seeds and add them to my salad, cereal, or smoothies.
Many older Koreans make a morning concoction that includes pumpkin seeds. I throw them in salads myself.
So you buy yours or do you take them out of pumpkins and dry your own?
If you get cramps randomly in the day probably magnesium, cramping during exercise probably potassium but a deficiency in one typically increases deficiency in the other
Magnesium Bisglycinate is one of the most effective bioavailable Magnesium Forms👍.➡It's attached to 2 glycine molecules. Attracts less water & has much higher absorption. Glycine also helps reduce pH in small intestine, supporting absorption & preventing Magnesium deficiency. Beneficial for improving Magnesium status, generally well-tolerated & unlikely to cause diarrhea. Involved in energy metabolism, muscle contraction, DNA synthesis, blood glucose regulation & reproduction🙂. 🚨⚠Avoid these versions of magnesium: Magnesium sulfate,Magnesium carbonate,Magnesium oxide and Magnesium hydroxide.
Great comment and very accurate. As someone with a severe mag deficiency due to 3 bowel resections, only Magnesium Bisglycinate helps, is absorbed, is easy on my stomache and intestine, without it the twitching, cramps etc....start, the others do nothing.
Years ago we were told citrate was a good form. I now take glycinate but is citrate still considered acceptable since it’s more readily available and considerably cheaper?
Magnesium Bisglycinate is the SAME as Magnesium Glycinate, another less common name is Magnesium Diglycinate, they are all the SAME 😊.

The USDA RDA for all the minerals and vitamins is intentionally extremely lower than you actually need. 4-5 times higher than USDA RDA is the way to go.
When I ate family meals. We always had a balanced meal and I still had leg cramps as a child. After being on my own the leg cramps disappeared for years. Then as an elder the cramps reappeared and when getting blood work done it was found that I was always low blood potassium. My doctor would have me taking potassium supplements. I was still having problems with leg and hand cramps while working.
Saw a shot video about cramps and taking magnesium. It worked for me and my blood potassium would be normal when the doctor would do future blood work. February 14th this year I ended up in the emergency room after getting a bacterial infection that keep me in the bathroom for three days before going to the hospital. Could not eat and horrible things were leaving my body on both ends. The emergency room does blood work and I'm dangerously low on potassium. I ended up on a potassium IV drip for days before I suggested that I needed magnesium. The doctor gave me the magnesium and the potassium in the blood was normal. I was released from Paradise Valley Hospital with a pill bottle with an antibiotic for the bacterial infection that caused my illness.
After a few days on my own I couldn't get warm no matter how warmly I was dressed. Not feeling well again I went to an urgent care and was sent to a different hospital were blood clots were found in my lung and legs that were not discovered by the other hospital even though I had been checoked for those types of problems.
This hospital checked my blood and I was having the low potassium and I ended up on another potassium IV drip. Had to again ask for magnesium again. What is with these doctors who prescribe magnesium oxide which is the hardest form of magnesium to be absorbed by the body? Again I had to ask for magnesium to stabilize the blood potassium in order to get out of the hospital. Hated all of the needles they bombard you with every hour is unreal. I've never been in a hospital for an illness since I graduated secondary career training when I eat something that put me in the hospital when the doctors thought I had appendicitis but needed my parents permission to operate. By the time they got to the hospital I was feeling better and I was released to my parents. Don't remember if any medication was required...
Dr.Berg rocks as usual, as expected. Blessed to have this channel.
I like your videos a lot. They usually cover the subjects completely in a minimal time. You did leave out a very important point on the direct correlation of low magnesium and high blood pressure( no direct correlation to cholesterol levels)
here's one for the books. I was suffering terrible anxiety and panic attacks that would wake me at night. I started on Magnesium Glycinate and literally all but eliminated them and my sleep has been better than it has in years
i never knew this was a source of fatigue. the title should be the #1 possible fix for fatigue.....
Hey Dr Berg it’s so great to see you still on UA-cam. Keep well. x
My first symptom is always racing thoughts. As soon as I notice my thoughts are bouncing from one to another, I know I need to take my magnesium supplement. I always take some before bed and it's helped my insomnia.
same here!!!!

I'll be honest, I'm not eating the gigantic salad bowl most days either, lol 😂. I take some magnesium in the citrate, taurate, and/or glycinate forms at night maybe 1 hour before bed. Magnesium malate can be good in the mornings. Thanks for spreading the Mg gospel, Dr. Berg!
That is very cool, thanks for sharing.
Did you catch what he said which magnesium is the best one?
@@flynneart1111glycenate
@@flynneart1111 He likes the magnesium glyinate form the best. It's bound to the amino acid glycine, so it can aid in relaxation, especially at night. Doctor's Best is a good brand for that form, in my experience.
I have excellent results taking Mg Maleate in the morning and Mg glycinate in the evening.

Thank you Dr. Berg thank you so much for your advice . I have been getting severe cramps in my feet and legs. You are always very informative and helpful.😊
Don't forget the proton pump inhibitors, especially Prilosec. These deplete magnesium with prolonged use. Many people use them daily for months on end even though tht's not recommended, because they don't know about other treatments for their acid reflux.

A good video would be "how to get enough magnesium from food while avoiding excessive oxalates."
I know anyone who's ever had a kidney stone would be interested. Just a talk on these lectins and oxalates (anti nutrients) and a pro/con of eating them would be interesting.
I'd also like to know more about why mushrooms need to be cooked to destroy some toxin. This is common knowledge, but when Paul Stamets was on the JRE podcast and this subject came up, he acted like he'd be tortured if he talked about it..which was strange. Many he was just being purposefully cryptic and a bit facetious. Idk.
✌❤🔥👁
Not a chance in hell im shoveling that much crap down my throat. Been there done that shit before and never again.
The bio availability of minerals from certain plants is so low you couldn't possibly eat that much.
I had an oxalate kidney stone from eating too much greens, so -yes! Excellent suggestion!
Yes, oxalates and lectins, yikes! Plants are indeed trying to kill you, it's their defense mechanism that nature provides. In so doing, it's nature's way of telling us humans to find other food, not plant food. I went carnivore and all ailments disappeared within 3 months. 👍
@@woodenfencessame, I also had kidney stones due to oxalates but I had no idea that was the reason. When I started my keto diet I ate tons of vegetables especially spinach and pretty quickly started getting pain in my joints and flair ups from old injuries like my knee. When I went full carnivore and cut all the greens all symptoms disappeared. I now have occasional flair ups when I’m dumping oxalates and my electrolytes go bananas.
To answer your question on Stamets, this is what someone said.
"Mushrooms, even common button mushrooms, contain traces of carcinogenic compounds in raw form. The same toxin, hydrazine, is also found in portobello mushrooms, and shiitake mushrooms contain a naturally occurring formaldehyde. Both chemicals are heat-sensitive and abolished upon exposure to heat."
What could be the cause of my arrhythmia besides a magnesium deficiency? I eat lots of veggies and a salad every day and take magnesium supplements as well as a pinch of potassium and Redmond’s salt in my water. I also use magnesium chloride spray before bed on my muscles to ward off cramps. The cardiologist says the arrhythmia is benign but when I get it I don’t feel well.
I appreciate your content, so thank you!
One of your best Videos yet.
Great Presentation - Great Content - Great Editing
Thanks for watching!
I like this new style! I like your up to date information reaching me, and I can say that you still show up on my startpage with this new content! Yes!! Greeting and thank you, Dr Berg.
Great to hear!
Cheers for the advice Dr this explains my symptoms all the best from the UK.
watched your show on magnesium glycinate and have been getting the best sleep, lowered stress and anxiety and just overall a feeling of well being. and like this show mentions i was having cramping and thats been gone too.
Thank you for your reply, blessings to You and Yours
Very good content, keep it up.
Generally, magnesium glycinate is recognized as the best form of magnesium to help with sleep because it's easy for the body to absorb.
Thank you so much for all that you do doctor.
Blessings and appreciation from Sydney Australia.
Dr Berg, I started taking your adrenal/cortisol supplements for my adrenal body type which have magnesium in most of the supplements….I’m amazed at how much more weight I’m losing and how great I feel. I just realized last week my hair is thicker, you have no idea. My hair is thin and normally I can see my scalp and I am soooo amazed at how great my hair feels now. Oh and my knees aren’t creaking like they normally do. Aaaand I’ve only been on your supplements for a month!!!! Thank you Dr Berg from the bottom of my heart ❤
Wonderful! So glad to hear that!
How do you know what your adrenal body type is?
@@divakim206 Dr Berg had this questionairre posted and I took the quiz…. I wonder if you can search for it on UA-cam which is where I found it. But he does mention in videos what the signs are. Good luck !
@@Spicy_Pita thank you for replying. I'll look for it.😊
If you are magnesium deficient, and can't figure out why, you might look into oxalate dumping. Happened to me, and most doctors have no idea what it is, and they couldn't figure out why I was cramping, twitching, and having heart arrhythmias.
The first symptom for me is tight muscles in my back or neck. I've never experience fatigue as my first symptom
Good morning, sir. Thanks again for your contributions
Fun Fact - in medical books from the 70's magnesium is only mentioned in passing as a milk of magnesia or as a remedy in some forms of poisoning. How did magnesium take the leap from being essentially a metal used for industrial purposes up until that time to now when it's an *essential* mineral or else we all die? Did nobody know about minerals in the human body back then and if they did, why didn't the medical books explain the processes at length? Does anyone know the answer to this?
Medical books and pharma is to get people in meds, old holistic or Asian health books will talk about foods
People ate grandma's home cooking back in the day
The pharmaceuticals fund the colleges that train doctors. (Follow the money.) Doctors are trained to treat symptoms with drugs.
Our soils weren’t as depleted back then so there were more minerals in our food, not to mention people still ate real food and not ultra processed junk.
People ate fresh whole foods instead of convenience foods also. Btw microwaves weren't "a thing" until the 70s. My husband bought me one so he could have bacon not burned😂 Microwaves are destructive to food composition.
Great video Dr. Berg.
In addition, certain medications will lower your magnesium level. Just like certain blood pressure medications will lower your potassium levels….long term use of proton pump inhibitors will severely reduce your magnesium levels.
What’s sad is if you have blood pressure issues like POTS that’s all they suggest if those compression stockings don’t work. They should say, “Let’s check all of these other areas first.”
Thank you, I needed this knowledge! I do Not Eat enough Salads, last week I started doing this and I do notice better everything in my body. My energy is better, I do drink red wine. I had eye issues, tiredness, and low energy. Now I am eating Salad for Breakfast! Last night I had a Salad with Baked Wild Salmon on top of it, tomato, red onion; EVOO, herbs, Lemon, Balsamic Vinegar, ACV, and Orange Bell Pepper. Really Good Advice to remember Daily!
Thanks for the great explanations, as I am trying to balance vitamins and minerals in this keto diet, been on it about 6 months.
Dr Berg, Would you please do a video on Cholesterol in the eye and why this happens? Thank you so much for everything that you do to help others be informed with the truth to help improve their life!!!
Magnesium oil, as a topical mineral spray, which comes from deep inside tge Earth's crust (magnesium chloride), is said to have the highest absorption potency. Thank you Dr Berg as always for your wonderful work 🌻🐝
That’s just simply wrong
Google
@@debgreentree oh wait google said it isn't? dang... well as someone who's used both magnesium oil spray and magnesium supplements I can 100% testify to the oil being waaaay more useful. Not only it's very absorbable through the skin but it also doesn't have the drawbacks of making your kidneys work or possibly causing imbalances when u take too much, the skin takes what it needs, the oil is IMO the more efficient way to take magnesium (other than actual food, like salads etc)
@debgreentree gOoGlE... yeah the know all, end all...
@@derpestarztwhere in the world are you and where do you buy it??
@@derpestarzt
Yes I know I’m a chemist
On point as usual. Ty Doc!
Video editor does a really good job 👍
Thank you, Dr. Berg, for another great video.
You're very welcome! Glad you liked it.
I always appreciate Dr. Bergs info and perspective about health self-care. I take notes and utilize most of the info as I can. I juice a lot of raw veggies. I keep around 3 separate bottles of liquid magnesium, liquid potassium and a trace mineral liquid. I use them as needed. Doc speaks about so many nutrients, etc…. in a way that I can understand and apply. Thks so much Doc.
Lots of helpful info. You are awesome. Thank you. Always looking forward to hearing from you. Be blessed
Very glad to be of help.
good video, simple and well presented.
Dr Berg for president, I'd vote for you :)
Hi Dr. Berg..if you read this, I just wanted to let you know that you’ve helped me tremendously. I’ve been trying to heal my gut for the last two months from gastritis/sibo/inflammation and was able to finally come off of the PPI I was taking bc of one of your videos where you talked about betaine. I couldn’t believe I actually needed to ADD acid. Totally blew my mind. Thanks again.
Also, to anyone suffering from sibo…Dysbiocide and FC Cidal from Biotics Research has been shown to be just as effective as antibiotics.
I’ve been watching you for a long time Dr berg you have helped me to help myself. I can’t thank you enough for all you have taught me. Please keep doing what you do with big pharma working against us at every turn we need you. You truly help people. God bless you.
Those types of content that people should see more.
Thanks for the info, doctor 👍
Most welcome! Glad you found it useful!
As always useful information
Hey thanks! Appreciate that.
Do I believe that Americans don't get enough magnesium in their diets? LOL I am absolutely POSITIVE of it. Most of them eat sugar and grains and caffeine all day. ... but not the ones who follow Dr. Berg!! ❤❤
You’re inspiring me over here in the UK! And thanks to this video I’ve realised I’m taking the wrong magnesium supplements and eating no where near enough salad greens!! I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 8 years ago and now peri menopause so this advice could actually help me to get more energy, less pain to be able to start to enjoy life again. Namaste 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Theres so many magnesium supplements out there. Which ones were you taking? im taking Blackmores BIO magnesium. Now, i don't know if it's any good?
@@gizmo5980 I have my eye on malate but going to see if I can get a supplement with multiple forms - but I prefer to get my nutrients through food so I’m buying 4 bags of salad greens every day - with a yummy home made dressing I’m experiencing happy meal times 🙏🏻
Thank you so much Dr.Berg. You're my best!🌹❤️
Great post!
