1. Muscle cramps
2. Poor sleep
3. Chronic stress
Mag Threonate can cause wakefulness if taken near bedtime.
Thank you!!
I take magnesium L-threonate it crosses the blood brain barrier it helps me sleep no issues with me. I buy mine from Dr. Joseph Mercola
Mag malate also@@seanaames6855
I suffer from chronic constipation. My Functional Doctor put me on Magnesium, and I felt immediate relief. The effect is immediate if I stop or forget to take my Magnesium at night. I can't say enough good things about this supplement. However, doctors are not trained enough in this area. I have been to emergency with constipation and not one doctor said "Maybe you are low in Magnesium, let's check this out."
Same for me. I do have some adhesions that make my bowels not function as well but I also had horrible digestive problems and chronic constipation. I was only given laxative and stool softeners. Or told to drink more water. For decades. It wasn't until a doctor told me to take magnesium for my muscle cramps and fibromyalgia. He then said oh it might help with the constipation too. Duh!!! Why didn't one doctor ever tell me this. It has helped with many of my problems.
@Lloue-kg3sr I have fibromyalgia as well. The symptoms haven't gone away but have reduced. We are working on healing my body but its a long slow process.
I have both too. What dose to you take at night?
@ReeseMalott1976 the dr recommended 1,000 MG and if that didn't work, to add vitamin C. Even with both it doesn't help. I take 1500 MG at night with vitamin C. When I see her in the summer I'll chat to see if I should be including something else.
We all have to take control of our health
When I was in my 30's, working full time, raising kids and taking care of a home, I had horrible back pain on my left side right before my cycle started. So bad that I went to the doctor for it. Of course they threw pain killers at me. I found one that I absolutely loved. Then it got taken off the market because it caused heart problems which I was genetically at risk for. Through a nutrition class, I learned about magnesium. I started taking magnesium citrate. This back pain was from constipation and I was so busy, I didn't realize it. Right before my cycle, my body had so much tension but magnesium citrate relaxed all of that. When my cycle was coming on if I woke with a tension headache I would take magnesium citrate instead of Tylenol. Cramps I handled the same way. Total game changer!
🙌
I have to say that magnesium has changed much for me. For at least 5 years I was suffering with muscle cramps (usually in calf, ankles and feet) at night. As well many sleepless nights. Just thought it was the never-ending menopause effect! However, in late December of 2023 I came across some UA-cam videos dealing with vitamin and mineral deficiencies and realized how applicable the one about magnesium was to me. I began with a 100 mg tablet (a combination of several forms of magnesium) that I took with my supper meal and the effect was immediate - a very restful sleep and no annoying muscle spasms. Since January of this year I have done more research and now take 200 mg Magnesium glycinate twice per day (one in the morning and one a couple of hours before bed). I wish I could tell you how much better I feel and should also mention I have been gluten free and sugar free for at least 10 years. Incidentally I also learned that you must take magnesium with vitamin D as they activate each other and so I added extra D as well as a D with K2. And through more education by watching you and others, I have added a B complex and Omega 3 as well as C with Zinc -- since I'm over 70 (who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks??) all these supplements have helped make each day better. Thank you for a well presented video and sharing your knowledge so generously.
Thanks for watching and sharing your supplement experience with me! 🙌
What magnesium brand do you use?
@@bridgetwoodward8031 It is a Natural Factors brand labelled Magnesium Bisglycinate 200 mg Pure. I bought it on Amazon. Since using this I have also discovered there are other forms that are suggested to use by physicians for more specific needs (like migraines or constipation) where they may recommend a magnesium citrate for example. However I chose this one as it was easily absorbed (no digestive upset). To begin with (before I went with the magnesium bisglycinate) I was using a Jamieson brand
that was a combination of magnesium formulations ( called Magnesium Extra Strength) in a 100 mg tablet. I was just taking with my supper meal to see if it would help with my sleep and muscle cramping issues -- and it worked great! Bonus being it also improved my stress levels too.That's when I realized I needed this in my diet and through more research decided to try the magnesium glycinate. Thanks for asking and hope I haven't now confused you!.
I spray magnesium oil directly on muscle cramps. I used to get them a lot. Now I do a weekly bath with a cup of epsom salt plus about four ounces of magnesium oil. Keeps the cramps away, but getting on the proper diet with fasting is what has really done the trick. Haven't had muscle cramps in many months.
🙌
What magnesium oil do you use for the bath?
@@organictribe8363 You can purchase magnesium oil in a little spray bottle in a health food store like Sprouts or Whole foods but it's pretty expensive that way, (about 12 dollars for eight ounces) I found in in gallon size jugs bought online from Piping Rock and it was much less expensive.
The best magnesium oil in my opinion is sourced from the Dead Sea in Israel, but also good from the great Salt Lake in Utah.
Dr. Mindy, I am so happy I found you! I have a story of why I needed to lose weight and get healthy l, but I will cut to the chase. Intermittent fasting works! I eat in 8hr window and fast for 16. I've done a 24hr but not yet made it to 36. I've lost 10lbs in 24 days and it gets easier! Love you!
It does get easier! Congratulations, you are doing amazing 💙🎉
Magnesium float therapy is absolutely fantastic. A half hour in the magnesium bath equals four hours of sleep to your body. You wont regret that amazing experience
Love the floats! 👍
Floating will never equal REM.
I just had chronic stress this afternoon Dr Mindy i cant really hold it i just cried,
💙
Crying is a great release. When you feel your coritsol rising, please move your body as you are able. (walk, air squats, etc)
@@DrMindyPelz thank Dr yes i moved and keep working cleaning the driveway and all
🙌
great!
Great pointers.👍Last year after covid I had a great problem with vitamin d and calcium and it took me along time to understand that magnesium plays an important role in bone health.
Good information at just the right time.
💙
Dr Mindy, I can't thank you enough for all the knowledge you give....
💙🙏
I had terrible ongoing leg cramps and everyone screamed magnesium! For some reason when I took magnesium, they seemed worse. I used an amino acid complex unrelated to my legs and when I take it, I never have leg cramps. It's always at night btw. Now I'm finding conflicting information about amino acids and I'm wondering if you could talk soon about amino acids relating to age, fasting, interactions with food and other supplements, etc.
Thank you for sharing your experience with leg cramps and amino acids-I'll definitely consider discussing the role of amino acids, their interactions with age, fasting, and other supplements in an upcoming session.
I was taking amino acids based on a book (can't recall the name). They were way better than antidepressants, and Adderall. I felt fantastic. Even though I had very good blood pressure,, my pharmacist husband and another friend had fits saying they would raise my BP in my mid 70s at the time, which they didn't so I ultimately stopped taking them. Five years later, during the pandemic my BP shot up and I had a mini stroke. So.now I'm on all kinds of meds, but I feel fine.
@Sandi6319
Can I ask where the cramps were in your legs? Calves? Thighs and knees? Ankles and Feet?
@seanaames6855 feet, ankles and sometimes up my my legs slightly but always below knees. I always want to point my toes and that makes it dramatic.
In my experience, cramps in my knees or thighs are related to low potassium.
If the cramps are in your feet and ankles, it's likely related to dehydration and lack of sodium.
Cramps in your calves, are the ones usually associated with magnesium. @sandi6315
I just want to say I like your videos.
💙🙏
Thank you for this info
💙
I have pretty much all the above issues, but have a heck of time with magnesium making my skin break out
I love Epsom Salt baths!
Love your podcasts - always informative and so to the point ,learning a lot thank you❤what about potassium.
Make sure you're taking electrolytes that has potassium, like what I'm taking the LMNT electrolytes. 🙂
You can get LMNT here: bit.ly/3xujPFy
Hi,Dr. Mindy!! I used to take water-soluble "Magnesium Chloride" and "Magnesium Sulphate". I live in Portugal, so this is a natural magnesium that is extracted from sea salt. Please could you give some advice on this, and if it is good to take?
Dr.Mindy, thank you for the information on magnesium. Would you also recommend ionic magnesium?
Thank you.
Thanks for watching @user-du5jt3fs2i - The one I recommend is:
►Magnesium Breakthrough (PELZ for special discount): magbreakthrough.com/offer?rfs...
Yes! BIG thank you for going over the different kinds of magnesium supplements! I have heard about how magnesium is good for someone to take, but I have always been confused about which one would fit my needs (restless legs, menopause, stress).
Have you tried Magnesium Breakthrough from BiOptimizers? bit.ly/3O2mlMV
MAG 07. I used 1-3 capsules at bedtime for >5 years. I’ve had chronic constipation since I was a child. This has been a game changer.
👍
This is a random question, but I wanted to ask you when is the best time in your cycle to do cold plunges? Do you recommend them?
I was taking Magnesium Citrate to be more regular and I loved it! I'm so sad because both my family doctor and also by a gastroenterologist surgeon told me to wean myself off of it because I will become use to using it and therefore if ever I stopped, my constipation will be ever worse than it was before. Any thoughts on this?
I switched to Magnesium Glycinate from Citrate because the Citrate one was giving me diarrhea. Really happy I did. I also use a magnesium cream made with mango butter and lavender on the bottoms of my feet every night. The days that I workout, I usually also include my ankles and calves with that cream. I do both of these things at night and they help me sleep.
🙌 💙
Where do you get the cream?
@@bridgetwoodward8031 From a company called, 8 Sheep Organics.
I take the Bioptimizers magnesium every day and love it.
Yay! Thanks for the testimonial 🙌 😃
Me too-- for the last three years.
Any recommendations on magnesium salts for the bath? Does it matter?
Do you take this supplement at the same time you’re taking beam minerals?
Thanks alot for the information. But does low magnesium in the body cause headaches?
Yes, low magnesium levels can sometimes cause headaches or migraines.
Hi doctor Mindy. Sorry to bother you, I wanted to ask you a thing. I've been doing keto for an year and a half, i've been doing also Omad .today i checked my cholesterol and it was high, also a lack of Iron and Vitamin D. Can you please tell me why?
Do i need to go on a normal diet or not?
Thank you so much
Hi Dr. Mindy!
I love these magnesium supplements, I also love applying an oil on my feet before bed. I’d also love to the baths however, I don’t have a tub in my house. Do you think just doing a foot soak would have the same benefits as a bath?

Thanks, Dr. Mindy! ❤This makes so much sense. I have all the symptoms you mentioned, and I realize they may be connected to stopping my magnesium supplements. I stopped taking them inadvertently because I used to take them with dinner, but now I skip dinner or have it early in the evening due to my fasting routine. Is it okay to take the supplement before bedtime on an empty stomach? The directions say to take it with a meal.
Make the best decision that works for you. 💙
You also need some potassium with magnesium + sea salt.
I always combine active methylated B vitamins with magnesium & potassium. All synergise beautifully together !!
I don't believe in 100% carnivore diet or 100% vegan diet - both are imbalanced and non-sustainable. I shoot for 60% carnivore + 40% vegan - beautifully balanced for all those wonderful lean proteins & aminos, B vitamins, trace minerals, potassium, magnesium, folate, vit C, phytonutrients & prebiotic fiber.
The RDA on potassium is a whopping 3500 mg / day for an average weight adult. If you are obese / overweight / insulin resistant you need 4500 mg / day.
The 3500 mg / day for average weight adult is for folks living in western world / cold countries. For those like me staying in hot & humid climates (requires more hydration, greater urinary & sweat excretion ), the RDA is 4500 mg / day.
Unless you consume 7-8 small portions of fruits & vegetables daily without fail, you are Not going to get anywhere close to 4500 mg / day of potassium.
I have 2 small Bananas a day + 1 serve of Papaya + 2 small serves of veg salads + 1000 mg supplemental potassium in divided doses and feel super Awesome !! No constipation no cramps, no blood pressure, no blood sugar, better sleep, better energy and better blood circulation.
I also use sea salt for seasoning with my boiled eggs, fish & chicken serves which is 60% of my dietry intake.
My cooking medium does NOT use seed oils, but only butter & Ghee.
🙌
What brand of potassium do you use?
Thank you, I’ve been taking pure encapsulation’s magnesium glycinate before bed , for over 12 months to help with peri menopausal sleep problems, I’ve found it so helpful for a better quality nights sleep , I also feel it helps to keep a lid on anxiety. I also use magnesium bath flakes or Epsom salts , for transdermal affects along with Better you brand magnesium oil and body butter which I apply before bed to help with the discomfort of a frozen shoulder .
🙌
What about Magnesium Oxide?
Is there a specific time during the day when it’s recommended to take it? Thank you !
Some doctors recommend taking Magnesium Glycinate after dinner to help you sleep. I tried this schedule and it has helped me sleep better.
I only get leg cramps at night, when in a 48+ hour fast. I started drinking a bottle of San Pellegrino on long fasting days and the leg cramps stopped.
👍
Hey Doc , I tried magnesium glycinate two nights in a row and it didn't help my insomnia. The dosage say to take 1 pill I'm not sure if I should take 2 instead
So can you tell me how many mg you should have I have glycinate at home around 250mg twice a day. And my husband has mag taurate 1.25 x2 a day. Are these enough?
Do you know how to fix the which stress can cause from things that have destroyed your life so cortisol levels are extremely high
I often get heartburn when i take magnesium. Anyone else?
So can you just do an Epsom salt bath, will that work? I take 500 mg of a mixture of magnesium citrate and magnesium oxide every single day and most days of the week. I also do an Epsom salt bath. I hope I’m getting enough magnesium. I also eat a lot of spinach and I think that’s with magnesium.
I've tried every magnesium - in smaller and smaller doses, but it always gives me diarrhea that worsens my magnesium levels on top. What can I do?
What are the values of magnesium phosphorus?
I’m taking an Eason salt soak.
👍
I’m still a little confused. I’ve been drinking the beam minerals, micro boost complete mineral supplement with the electrolyze for two months now. And I listened to your podcast with the founder of beam minerals.. If I take more magnesium, and I ordered one that you recommended. Do I have to worry about getting too much? And should I be taking an extra calcium supplement? And do you recommend one? And I’m still confused on vitamin C and which one to take. I was taking one that I think that you recommended , I think it was From systemic formulas but I ran out and they have been out of stock for a while. Is there one that you recommend? Please and thank you so much. I love all of your information and my intermittent fasting is going wonderfully😊
At your next appointment with your trusted medical provider, have your vitamin and mineral levels tested to see what your body is lacking. Then you and your provider can discuss a plan on what to take and how much. 💙
My husband is low in magnesium but whatever supplement he’s tried gives him terrible diarrhea so he stopped trying. Will the iv have the same effect? Will the different types of magnesium have different effects? I’ve been taking the Magnesium Breakthrough for a couple years and love it but he’s afraid to try it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Dr. Mindy- I have a question. I keep seeing the Happy Mammoth Hormone Harmony pills and am curious how you feel about them- good or bad. Even doing all of the things a woman in her 40s is supposed to be doing, it is frustrating when your body does not respond how we want.
