The Low Magnesium Low Thyroid Connection (PROTECT Your Thyroid)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 тра 2024
- Magnesium is incredibly important for thyroid function and, unfortunately, most thyroid patients aren't getting enough.
This is for 3 main reasons:
1. Thyroid dysfunction increases magnesium breakdown and excretion.
In other words, thyroid problems promote the elimination of magnesium from your body.
2. Stress increases magnesium usage.
Because thyroid dysfunction makes you more susceptible to stress, thyroid patients have a higher demand for magnesium compared to the average population.
3. Most people aren't getting enough magnesium from their diet (about 80% or so).
This has to do with the fact that magnesium is commonly found in plants and most thyroid patients are eating too much processed food.
How can you fix this problem?
By getting more magnesium from your diet and by taking additional magnesium supplements as needed.
The three best magnesium supplements for hypothyroidism are...
1. Magnesium glycinate.
2. Magnesium citrate.
3. Magnesium l-threonate.

For some hypothyroid patients, mg supplimentation raises their TSH. From my experience mg works only if our vitamin D3, iron and vitamin B1 levels are adequate. Else magnesium supplimentation can backfire.
I seem to get lower leg pain when taking magnesium. Related?
@@no.5810 could be. I had similar issues. I can take magnesium only when I take thiamine and vitamin D3 daily. After I searched the internet I could understand that magnesium is required to activate thiamine and vice versa. So for people low in both supplementing with only one could be a problem.
@@no.5810magnesium and potassium help with muscle contractility.
Usually magnesium takes away leg pain
My dr doesn't check mag, B1 or iron? They checked my iron once when I was severely depleted. How what do I ask them to check? All that I mentioned or you mentioned? I am severely depressed right now, more than before.
Great video.thank you from Vermont
All your content is good.Can you give information on multinodular goitre?And treatment for it.
Thank you Dr. Childs! Your videos are so helpful! I’d be interested to know how more Mg supplements affects hypothyroidism overall.
Ty Dr Childs
As a + note make sure you have enough vitamin D in your system or magnesium starts becoming ineffective!
Not only vitamin D, you need Vitamin K2 to help that vitamin D get into the proper place. Found that out over years of just taking vitamin D and it not working. So I researched and found out I needed the K2 as well.
i had subacute thyroiditis recently. Now i am in stage 2 which means my TSH is little getting up .6 .Please doctor advice me shoud i get selenium ,kelp and magnesium in this stage or just need to wait that it goes away by itself
Thank you
Thanks
Great information, I have hypothyroidism and have been looking for the right Magnesium to try out. I eat Spinach, Pumpkin, Chia Seeds, Almonds, Black Beans, Bananas, Avocados, and Salmon but not every day. Will try MGC, and possibly MC, thanks again !
Ahh tummy twin! So I think it’s definitely worth a go. I might try the supplement. Usually I try to get it in diet… homemade protein bar/ball… just chuck in all your favourites…. Have it as the brunch snack - pre lunch! Get the gut in order. I have done this for over 10 yrs now.
Also if u can add chia ball to foods is way better that just eating them seeds as sprinkles…. By activating the gel out of the seed prior to adding to foods really pushes up the absorption of the gel in the gut lining. Also look at coconut oil🙏🏼. Same idea great for gut giving better food energy signature results.
Good luck 🤞
Used for hyperthyroidism???
Mag Threonate is the only mag that crosses the blood-brain barrier
actually its a whole bunch of things depending the cause, stress, grief, lack of vit d, iodine , gluten, high processed foods , bad diet, environmental pollutions, acidic gut microbiome DIET is key and supplementation to heal immunity
Are you referring to general magnesium supplement or magnesium orotate?
I have atrophic gastritis, I was told I do not absorb supplements like others do. Can I absorb the pills? @
love your video, if you ate the foods recommended for mg you would have too high of oxylates
Use Ancient Minerals magnesium bath flakes, topical gel or lotion.
So I need magnesium if my levels are optimal?
I know not to take magnesium oxide, but what about magnesium gluconate? Oops! I'll watch the next video and see if that answers my question.
What if you had your thyroid removed?
At least explain how much a serving is
Also mg foods are high histamine so if you have MCAS, you kind of want to avoid!
Which one is good for restless legs?
Funny how unmethylated B-vitamin complex causes restless legs while methylated one cures it.
Bro bananas and coconut water are easy magnesium too. I eat about 5 bananas a day and drink 2 cups of coconut water during workouts.
Those are foods you eat for potassium, not magnesium...bro
@@penultimania4295 they are also high in potassium, but they are huge for magnesium. 60mg per cup of coconut water and 32mg per banana.
What kind of magnesuim, there's a lot of magnesuim
Magnesium glycinate is easily absorbed. Bonus it helps sleep.
Watch the entire video, he tells which ones to take
All that food is rich in oxalic acid and other antinutrients that will make magnesium now available to humans. Spinach and almonds ruined my health.
Who has thyroid problems? Why do people have thyroid issues? Sounds like they just need to lay off the junk food and eat their meat and vegetables is all. Sleep and physical activity are vital too.
He talks SO FAST!!! Had to switch off. Can’t listen to it.
He talks at a really nice speed. The content of what he says is intelligent, and informed and he is impressively knowledgable . His commitment to helping people is wonderful.
Got it on 2x, still not fast enough
You can slow the video down from your cell phone
I like the pace Dr Berg and Dr Berry use when speaking. Slow, clear and concise. When I'm taking in new important information, I want to fully understand and absorb it.
You can slow down the speed by clicking on the settings cog at the bottom of the screen. Now if only there was a way to mute that infernal popping that everyone is using on UA-cam these days.
He is no longer practicing medicine and doesn't have an active medical license. You shouldn't be listening to him!
Pls explain
I appreciate his videos, very helpful
What if someone is taking Levothyroxine, can they take magnesium and which magnesium? Doctor never provide the right information for family members.
Check his website. I’m taking almost all of their supplements for hypothyroidism and I’m on Synthroid. No side effects. All good. And I’ve repurchased three to four times now. They have a great customer service as well.
great question, interested in knowing myself as I do take Levothyroxine
@@Mr.Steve-O Ive been taking medication for 15 years and Ive been repurchasing Dr Childs products. I would like to leave medication but doctors out there are pro Pharma.
Same
Go to well educated natural health food store
Take magnesium at least twice daily with probiotics. "Calm" powder is a good start. Good luck
