Thank you Dr Ekberg for your concise and clearly presented explanation (lecture) that is very easy to understand and consume. This particular video is gold for me, God bless you, Sir.
For years now I've stayed away from salt to avoid high blood pressure. Yet, I've had 75% of these signs. Thank You, Doc I wish you were around when I was in HS most people would've been in better shape. 🙏
_Whole_ salt (not stripped table salt which is garbage) does not raise blood pressure. It's got all the natural components still in tact which makes it healthful.

Hey Dr.Ekberg, I deeply appreciate your holistic approach to health and wellbeing. I'd love to see a video where you discuss alternative, healthier options to common over-the-counter pain relievers like Tylenol and Ibuprofen. It would be refreshing to hear an unbiased perspective that truly prioritizes our health over commercial interests. I believe your insight would greatly benefit many of us looking for more natural solutions. Thanks for all that you do!

Health and nutrition is my hobby. I read a lot about it, (and watch videos), out of natural interest and curiosity. This video is by far the most important one I have ever seen. This is the foundation of of health in a nutshell.
Because these doctor buffoons dont even understand. The sodium / potassium pump, sodium and potassium are on a shared axis and need to be kept in balance, its around 4 grams of each daily. But if you had 4 grams of sodium without equivalent potassium you will in short order, have serious health issues. Instead of instructing decreasing sodium, doctors should prescribe increased potassium. These well-meaning (arrogant) medical numb-skulls are seriously affecting peoples health in the negative.
Before watching this video I only took your euLyte Electrolyte product only when I fasted multiple days. I now understand that I should be taking it daily. The part where you mention synthetic fertilizers makes total sense. Thanks for the education Dr. Ekberg. ❤
Thanks for the video Dr. Ekberg! This video couldn't have come at a better time! I'm so grateful you put so much into your videos! Hoping your weekend is fabulous!
@@drekberg Dr. Ekbert I bought your electrolytes and they worked well at first but I noticed that they make me tired for exercise. Must be the magnesium. Would you consider making another one for those that need a ton of energy just to get going please? I'm drinking like 5 cups of tea concentrated down to half a cup mixed with 1 1/2 cups of milk for energy but it gets me just enough energy. I do this to avoid pre-workouts and coffee because i think I has to be healthier. Plus pre-workouts powders taste nasty to me. Especially the ones with diet sugar. Oh p.s. please make one without the diet sugar. Thanks so much.
You are such a pleasure to listen to. You make a VERY complicated message easily understandable. I suffered with muscle cramps for years and never once did any of my PCP's tell me I was deficient in magnesium. I began taking a supplement and they stopped.
I have Hemochromatosis. Five years ago my Ferritin level was 4580. I was 58 years old then. I didn’t know I had Hemochromatosis. I was experiencing night sweats and leg cramps every single night. I got the blood test for genetic hemochromatosis. Nobody on my Mother’s side of the family lived past 64 years of age, and I believe this was due to undetected hemochromatosis. I have had dozens of phlebotomy treatments since 2018, and I am still required to have a phlebotomy treatment every 4 months now. My liver has been affected and my energy levels are very low. Good thing I eat very low carb Whole Foods and I weigh 170lbs at 5’11”.
Very informative as usual Thank you. I bought your Euvexia eulyte powder on my second purchase now i find a good improvement 100% will continue to use Thanks again
I've been told in other videos (in the Low Carb-Keto community) that B1 is good for numbness and tingles too; I had it bad back before I started Keto/Fasting. I learned about it several months later in the journey (whilst losing weight); started taking B1(as Benfotiamine) with great success (was already getting enough potassium. magnesium, salt). Topical liquid ionic magnesium immediately relieves with my rare cramps if mess-up and don't get enough salt/magnesium - I work in the heat outdoors.
As If soil depletion and synthetic fertilizer aren't bad enough, then they have to genetically modify the food so it can survive being sprayed with roundup 😢😮,
Many countries are deficient in Boron so the plants and animals consumed are bereft of this critical mineral. Boron is an enabling mineral that allows the body to absorb magnesium, potassium and others.
Absolutely, it's essential and most people don't know anything about it. It's easy to become deficient, especially if you don't eat a lot of fruits and vegetables. It's not just helpful for mineral absorption, it's essential for bone growth - deficiency causes osteoporosis directly. Also important for hormone production and metabolism, and wound healing, It even has anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects. Everyone needs to be getting enough, 3mg/day at the bare minimum.
There is no blood test for serum boron yet so hopefully that will come. Big Pharma probably don't want us to know about Boron either....@@absurdlyobfuscated
Every time I am going to do things that are related to health, I usually educate myself first through your videos. You inspired me to be concerned about my health state more. I started fasting because of you, thanks for the precious learning and well-defined information. Everything becomes achievable when it is about keeping healthy and being fit.
Hey Champ, thanks for your teachings. You saved my life. I am going to buy your Product. Fasting is now a big Part of my life. Right now i am in a 6 weeks fasting journey, where i fast 4 days and Load up 3 days and then start the 4 days again. After this 6 weeks i will reach my final weight. So far i lost 37 kg. I started last year in November. You are such a positive Person and even when you are Promoting your product, you do it in Such a gentle and Kind way, which Just makes me even more comfertable to buy it. Thank you so much for Helping All These people out there to get back in life. Respect.

I would LOVE to see a video on how to reach our daily goal of 4700mg of Potassium. We all live busy lives and can't eat all the foods we should eat while on the run. Most supplements are 95mg, a few are around 350mg but after counting, with my total I'm 2000mg from my daily goal. The best I found was a electrolyte citrace drink that had about 500mg to 1000mg of Potassium, but very expensive. Right now, I drink a cup of Oat Milk, in the morning & evening - 370mg Potassium per cup and a few others vitamins. It's like we are climbing the same mountain everyday, and we never make it to the top because there's no other paths beside eating it.
Chock full of useful information (nothing new for Dr. Ekberg, I know). I intend to rewatch a good few times. Thank you, Dr. Ekberg, for continuing to provide trustworthy information in the promotion of improved health. 💜💜 Karen
There are also an issue with refining vegetables and fruid to have them more resistant to pests and bugs and extend their ability to shelf life and long teansports and this typically have less nutrition in them. I think it was at the Endevr channel I saw a documentary on this So if you have possibility it could be worthwhile to try and get some heirloomseeds and grow some of your own vegetables, even in a pot indoors with artificial light or at a balcony. Kids often think it's a fun project too already at a very young age.
Recently begain keto am having muscle weakness/soreness figured through research it was due to electrolyte depleting from change in diet. Thank you for all your videos

@@drekberg Great video. I enjoy them all. Share your channel with friends as top rated. Just a little correction, at the end you have mentioned magnesium instead of manganese, but i am sure people will deduct from the context you meant manganese. Thank you for all your work and advice.

I've read especially for postmenopausal women we tend to be high in iron unless we regularly donate blood so its best to avoid cast iron cookware. Thank you for another insightful presentation Dr. Ekberg.
I doubt that iron oxide has any absorbable value to worry about. Like worrying about using stainless steel cutlery because it has chromium and iron in it.
This is helpful information Dr. Ekberg. As a woman I had a lot of deficiency, I mean starting with Iron (due to anemia) and then Magnesium, Boron, etc. Most of the time I had headaches, nausea, fatigue and very low blood pressure. I collapsed two times due to the low blood pressure. I started taking supplements after consulting a doctor and all the blood work, and all that suffering vanished.
I really appreciate this Dr Ekberg. I watch a lot of your videos so clicked on this just because it’s new. I have been noticing lately my heart skipping beats more than it used to and I was wondering what it could be. I know it’s not a guaranteed fix, but I’ve just ordered potassium and magnesium supplements! It will be interesting to see if that calms things down. Thanks so much!
excellent video, as on the carnivore diet, i had some of these symptoms that resolved after adding elektrolyes (Na, K and Mg) and reducing coffee. spot on. very nice shirt too.
Thank you dr. E I only have one issue, as a person who works with plants.. well they too can't survive without certain minerals being in the soil. So the tomato might be puffed with water and without much taste but it will have the essential minerals, even if in lower concentration than a tomato grown in enriched soil.
Thank you @stevewhalen6973 so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel, and for helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
20:5520:56 I'm older and wrangle with gut dysbiosis . This causes absorption issues and one of these is low electrolytes. I was getting frequent heavy numbness and tingling in hands and lower arms. I purchased euLyte and use a 3 scoop dose daily because it alivieates the numbness and tingling usually in about a half hour after consumption .I'm now noticing a gradual improvement with dysbiosis as well.
magnesium citrate is not the best bioavailable form, but it is relatively cheap. zinc should not be combined with other minerals and it is best taken before sleep (it increases sleep quality). I advise my patients to take separate supplements, combined forms are more convenient, but can be counterproductive....
45 years ago this hatred of sodium had already become the health rage. But I knew that 20 years earlier, salt tablets were available at gyms and other places where sweating took place. So while I was working construction in the summer, I realized I felt better, had less thirst if I included a bag of salty potato chips with lunch.
Thank you Dr Ekberg for the presentation on minerals. One of the most important minerals in my opinion is potassium, yet it difficult to understand how one would get 4700 mg from food without eating a ton of bananas which would be too much sugar. I live in Europe and can supplement with high doses. In the US I see doses of 99 mg of potassium in a single pill. Since the connection between sodium and potassium is so important why is the dose so low in the US. My electrolytes mix contain 1400 mg of potassium which I take before I workout. Just never understood the 99 mg dose for Potassium.
Now Foods offers both Potassium Citrate and Potassium Chloride supplements in powder form. The Citrate form is generally easier to consume due to its neutral taste, whereas the Chloride form has a taste reminiscent of salt. However, Potassium Chloride has a higher concentration of elemental potassium, approximately 50%, compared to the citrate form, which contains around 33% (I believe my information is correct; however, verification would be wise.) This means that to obtain 4700mg of elemental potassium, one would need to consume 9400mg of Potassium Chloride or 14200mg of Potassium Citrate. However, it's important to note that we also obtain some amount of potassium through the foods we eat, and thus the intake of these supplements should be adjusted accordingly. For endurance athletes, the requirement for potassium may be significantly higher due to their rigorous physical activities. Therefore, consulting a healthcare or a nutritional expert to determine the precise dosage based on individual needs and dietary intake is always recommended.
Greetings! BIG RRSPECT to you Mr. Ekberg. I appreciate how you detailed very single issue and given us the very BEST of your wisdom and knowledge with calmness and patience. Much thanks
I have all the 10 symptoms! But how it comes if I eat very healthy cero crap stuff, only organic meat, fish, chicken, eggs, even butter from France, pistachos, green veggies, some fruit, electrolytes in every sip??? Is it parasites eating the goodies and letting me hungry and malnourished? Please Doctor, make a video on parasites.
This Doctor save live for sure!! Even me have as well bevore lot of heart palpitations and really worrying and cant sleep anymore as worries etc and other problems. But my doctor just dont know anything about that. Thank you for your help and big knowlege Dr. Ekberg. I wanted to order as well on your website, suddently no supply to europe. Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭
Thank you for addressing low sodium. I do not eat processed or fast foods or meat….i have been advised without electrolyte chks to cut back on sodium and drink plenty of water….which I did until I ended up in urgent care dizzy and sick….a very observant doctor put me on to making sure I get enough salt
These videos are actual proper university quality classes. I appreciate all the information so much. One can actually learn the core of things this way, not just memorize tips and hacks. ❤
Here is a ChatGPT summary: - Minerals are elements or chemical compounds made from single atoms or combinations of different atoms. - Minerals are usually in a crystalline structure and are formed by geological events. - There are over 5,500 different kinds of minerals, but the ones essential to human health are the ones that make their way into the human body or plants. - Electrolytes are important minerals that conduct electricity and are involved in fluid balance and signaling in the body. - The four main electrolytes are sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium, along with chloride, phosphate, and bicarbonate. - Electrolytes form compounds with other substances and become positively or negatively charged ions. - Electrolytes are needed in relatively large quantities, while trace minerals are needed in smaller amounts but are equally important. - Copper and iron can become toxic if there is an excess in the body. - Manganese and zinc are essential trace minerals involved in various enzymatic reactions. - Signs that indicate a need for minerals and electrolytes include dizziness, heart arrhythmias, muscle cramps, headaches, numbness and tingling, mood swings and irritability, slow wound healing, dry flaky skin, digestive issues, poor immunity, and general fatigue. - Soil depletion due to mass farming and synthetic fertilizers has led to mineral deficiencies in many people. - Anemia can be caused by a deficiency in iron, B vitamins, zinc, or copper. - Dehydration and lack of proper signaling can also contribute to general fatigue and blood sugar regulation issues. - Chromium and manganese are important for insulin sensitivity and blood sugar regulation.
Just read something yesterday about sodium and potassium in that if you add too much salt to your food, you can raise your blood pressure…and I think we’ve all heard that at some point, which is why “they” say you need to limit sodium intake. But what I didn’t know, is that usually creates an imbalance where potassium becomes too low, and if you add potassium supplement, that brings the blood pressure back down. Maybe I interpreted the meta analysis wrong?
Thank you @haroldmack1704. The kidneys filter out about 200 liters of water along with sodium, then it reabsorbs 99.5% of the sodium through the sodium potassium pump which pulls 3 sodium molecules back in and expels 2 potassium molecules out. This is not the only mechanism that regulates the two, but sodium and potassium are regulated against each other to some degree. 😄
This video was one of most completely informative and game changer ,for me, that you have made. Thank you! And when I be ready, I will get the " eulyte". Thanks again dr. Ekberg.
As a fan of healthy living and sports, I find your content very interesting, I've been following you for a couple of years now.

Melanin in humans is closely related to chlorophyll in plants. Body mass index & body hair of the limbs & torso is closely related to animals. We all are mineral filled to provide us with functional anatomy systems. We are differently similar! Happy Trails!

Good thing I eat very low carb Whole Foods and I weigh 170lbs at 5’11”.
I just want to thank you for teaching me and a lot of other people so much. I let the ads roll as my best way to thank you.
Thank you @benbrown9053 I appreciate you watching. 😄
Thanks!
Dear Dr. Love your videos as they helped me loose weight and i am at my goal weight and hav been for almost a year.
Very informative as usual Thank you. I bought your Euvexia eulyte powder on my second purchase now i find a good improvement 100% will continue to use Thanks again
What an excellent content. It's worth watching.
I Love You Doc!
Just purchased euLyte. I'm 59 and have many of the symptoms in the video. Fingers crossed !! Thank you
Dr. Sten, thank you for explaining this topic beautifully!
I've been told in other videos (in the Low Carb-Keto community) that B1 is good for numbness and tingles too; I had it bad back before I started Keto/Fasting. I learned about it several months later in the journey (whilst losing weight); started taking B1(as Benfotiamine) with great success (was already getting enough potassium. magnesium, salt). Topical liquid ionic magnesium immediately relieves with my rare cramps if mess-up and don't get enough salt/magnesium - I work in the heat outdoors.
How do we know if low in pottassuim
What Dr are best to get understanding of levels as conventional does do
Fascinating commentary on our geology link with mineral electrolytes . Thank You Sten .
Thank you Dr Sten ✌🏻🇬🇧
You have been responsible for my back to health and back to my skinny self ☺️
You are AMAZING ❤️kes
Thank you @imaginemetoo for letting me know. I really appreciate the feedback, but YOU are still the one who took action. Thanks for watching.😄
@@drekberg
You educated me sir ❤️ Eternally grateful ☺️
As If soil depletion and synthetic fertilizer aren't bad enough, then they have to genetically modify the food so it can survive being sprayed with roundup 😢😮,
You can use so many types of Sea Minerals and other source to replenish the soil for good .
What a wonderful world we live in smh
Many countries are deficient in Boron so the plants and animals consumed are bereft of this critical mineral. Boron is an enabling mineral that allows the body to absorb magnesium, potassium and others.
Absolutely, it's essential and most people don't know anything about it. It's easy to become deficient, especially if you don't eat a lot of fruits and vegetables.
It's not just helpful for mineral absorption, it's essential for bone growth - deficiency causes osteoporosis directly. Also important for hormone production and metabolism, and wound healing, It even has anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects. Everyone needs to be getting enough, 3mg/day at the bare minimum.
There is no blood test for serum boron yet so hopefully that will come. Big Pharma probably don't want us to know about Boron either....@@absurdlyobfuscated
Every time I am going to do things that are related to health, I usually educate myself first through your videos. You inspired me to be concerned about my health state more.

Thank you @penelope8356 for letting me know. I really appreciate the feedback. Thanks for watching.😄
I don't even know what to say anymore... I think I've left over 50 messages in the time since I met him early this year. He has changed my life completely.... I just love him to death. I'm speechless at this point.
Thank you Doctor
This is the must complete explanation on the subject
How marvelous our bodies are thank you 👏💖👏
Thank you @soniasaldarriaga5166. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain the principles and mechanisms of health in such a way that you start gaining an understanding and respect for the miracle that is the human body. I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and start owning the mechanisms we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. 😄
You’re my fav instructor 🎉
I enjoy your lectures 😊
This knowledge is vital to me and my family I care for❤
I would LOVE to see a video on how to reach our daily goal of 4700mg of Potassium. We all live busy lives and can't eat all the foods we should eat while on the run. Most supplements are 95mg, a few are around 350mg but after counting, with my total I'm 2000mg from my daily goal. The best I found was a electrolyte citrace drink that had about 500mg to 1000mg of Potassium, but very expensive. Right now, I drink a cup of Oat Milk, in the morning & evening - 370mg Potassium per cup and a few others vitamins. It's like we are climbing the same mountain everyday, and we never make it to the top because there's no other paths beside eating it.
You're correct. I am tired of looking for a reasonable electrolyte. The supplements are low dose ones.
Chock full of useful information (nothing new for Dr. Ekberg, I know). I intend to rewatch a good few times. Thank you, Dr. Ekberg, for continuing to provide trustworthy information in the promotion of improved health. 💜💜

There are also an issue with refining vegetables and fruid to have them more resistant to pests and bugs and extend their ability to shelf life and long teansports and this typically have less nutrition in them. I think it was at the Endevr channel I saw a documentary on this So if you have possibility it could be worthwhile to try and get some heirloomseeds and grow some of your own vegetables, even in a pot indoors with artificial light or at a balcony. Kids often think it's a fun project too already at a very young age.
Recently begain keto am having muscle weakness/soreness figured through research it was due to electrolyte depleting from change in diet.
Thank you for all your videos
Thank you so much for valuable videos.
You are welcome @shaukatkhan4727. Thank you for watching. 😄
Beef liver is a great food to help against general fatigue, as beef liver contains all the minerals you need to counter that.
Or liver sausage or liver pate.
Love the amount of information output. Very constructive, to the point and invaluable. Outstanding work.

@@drekberg Great video. I enjoy them all. Share your channel with friends as top rated. Just a little correction, at the end you have mentioned magnesium instead of manganese, but i am sure people will deduct from the context you meant manganese. Thank you for all your work and advice.
I will watch it again to cement the details. Thanks.
You are gold, wonderful doctor!
Thank you Dr Ekberg...from the first time I have found Your videos I believed You and fallowing Your instructions I have managed my sugar blood level so I am without medicaments...I recomand Your videos to all my friends who can fallow you in English
I've read especially for postmenopausal women we tend to be high in iron unless we regularly donate blood so its best to avoid cast iron cookware.
Thank you for another insightful presentation Dr. Ekberg.
I doubt that iron oxide has any absorbable value to worry about. Like worrying about using stainless steel cutlery because it has chromium and iron in it.
This is helpful information Dr. Ekberg. As a woman I had a lot of deficiency, I mean starting with Iron (due to anemia) and then Magnesium, Boron, etc. Most of the time I had headaches, nausea, fatigue and very low blood pressure. I collapsed two times due to the low blood pressure. I started taking supplements after consulting a doctor and all the blood work, and all that suffering vanished.
I really appreciate this Dr Ekberg. I watch a lot of your videos so clicked on this just because it’s new. I have been noticing lately my heart skipping beats more than it used to and I was wondering what it could be. I know it’s not a guaranteed fix, but I’ve just ordered potassium and magnesium supplements! It will be interesting to see if that calms things down. Thanks so much!
It should help, also realize that consuming too many oxalates can remove some of those minerals from the blood leading to your symptoms.
Hello dok watching from rome italy.
me too
Thank you @marivellabustro6101 😄
excellent video, as on the carnivore diet, i had some of these symptoms that resolved after adding elektrolyes (Na, K and Mg) and reducing coffee. spot on.
very nice shirt too.
Thanks Doctor Ekberg
You are welcome @edelagudo35. Thank you for watching. 😄
Thank you dr. E
I only have one issue, as a person who works with plants.. well they too can't survive without certain minerals being in the soil. So the tomato might be puffed with water and without much taste but it will have the essential minerals, even if in lower concentration than a tomato grown in enriched soil.
best doc on the interwebs
Thank you @brad2109 😄
Thanks!
Thank you @stevewhalen6973 so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel, and for helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
20:55 20:56 I'm older and wrangle with gut dysbiosis . This causes absorption issues and one of these is low electrolytes. I was getting frequent heavy numbness and tingling in hands and lower arms. I purchased euLyte and use a 3 scoop dose daily because it alivieates the numbness and tingling usually in about a half hour after consumption .I'm now noticing a gradual improvement with dysbiosis as well.
magnesium citrate is not the best bioavailable form, but it is relatively cheap. zinc should not be combined with other minerals and it is best taken before sleep (it increases sleep quality). I advise my patients to take separate supplements, combined forms are more convenient, but can be counterproductive....
I love the video as always Greetings from europe Holland.😘
Thank you @reginepoulina431 for letting me know. I really appreciate the feedback. Thanks for watching.😄
Thank you Dr. for delicately pointing out that humans are indeed animals not spirits trapped in a mineral construct.
45 years ago this hatred of sodium had already become the health rage. But I knew that 20 years earlier, salt tablets were available at gyms and other places where sweating took place. So while I was working construction in the summer, I realized I felt better, had less thirst if I included a bag of salty potato chips with lunch.
I just ordered your product to give a shot. Thank you for your time and energy to educate us fools.
That was so very insightful. Everytime i watch one of your vdos, i am inspired to eat as healthy as i can
Thank you Dr Ekberg for the presentation on minerals. One of the most important minerals in my opinion is potassium, yet it difficult to understand how one would get 4700 mg from food without eating a ton of bananas which would be too much sugar. I live in Europe and can supplement with high doses. In the US I see doses of 99 mg of potassium in a single pill. Since the connection between sodium and potassium is so important why is the dose so low in the US. My electrolytes mix contain 1400 mg of potassium which I take before I workout. Just never understood the 99 mg dose for Potassium.
Coconut water is high in potassium.
Way better food with potassium then banana 🍌 I would do a search on here...Avocados have a good amount and so does chia seeds ❤
Now Foods offers both Potassium Citrate and Potassium Chloride supplements in powder form. The Citrate form is generally easier to consume due to its neutral taste, whereas the Chloride form has a taste reminiscent of salt. However, Potassium Chloride has a higher concentration of elemental potassium, approximately 50%, compared to the citrate form, which contains around 33% (I believe my information is correct; however, verification would be wise.)
This means that to obtain 4700mg of elemental potassium, one would need to consume 9400mg of Potassium Chloride or 14200mg of Potassium Citrate. However, it's important to note that we also obtain some amount of potassium through the foods we eat, and thus the intake of these supplements should be adjusted accordingly.
For endurance athletes, the requirement for potassium may be significantly higher due to their rigorous physical activities. Therefore, consulting a healthcare or a nutritional expert to determine the precise dosage based on individual needs and dietary intake is always recommended.
1400mg wow which brand is this? The highest one I buy is 1000mg.
I have same question - 1 pill a day 99 mg of potassium ! And not many food has this so important for heart health.
Another great video!
Thank you @rejoice4269 😄
Greetings! BIG RRSPECT to you Mr. Ekberg. I appreciate how you detailed very single issue and given us the very BEST of your wisdom and knowledge with calmness and patience. Much thanks
I have all the 10 symptoms!
But how it comes if I eat very healthy cero crap stuff, only organic meat, fish, chicken, eggs, even butter from France, pistachos, green veggies, some fruit, electrolytes in every sip???
Is it parasites eating the goodies and letting me hungry and malnourished?
Please Doctor, make a video on parasites.
I am really enjoying these lectures and I am so grateful, thank you!
This Doctor save live for sure!! Even me have as well bevore lot of heart palpitations and really worrying and cant sleep anymore as worries etc and other problems. But my doctor just dont know anything about that. Thank you for your help and big knowlege Dr. Ekberg.
I wanted to order as well on your website, suddently no supply to europe.
Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭
Thank you for addressing low sodium. I do not eat processed or fast foods or
meat….i have been advised without electrolyte chks to cut back on sodium
and drink plenty of water….which I did until I ended up in urgent care dizzy and sick….a very observant doctor put me on to making sure I get enough salt
I have a friend who cut out salt completely, now he’s very sick. He has low sodium, don’t stop taking salt
These videos are actual proper university quality classes. I appreciate all the information so much. One can actually learn the core of things this way, not just memorize tips and hacks. ❤
Superb video! 😃👍
Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
Peace love and blessings!
You are welcome @apocalypse9347. Thank you for watching. 😄
Here is a ChatGPT summary:
- Minerals are elements or chemical compounds made from single atoms or combinations of different atoms.
- Minerals are usually in a crystalline structure and are formed by geological events.
- There are over 5,500 different kinds of minerals, but the ones essential to human health are the ones that make their way into the human body or plants.
- Electrolytes are important minerals that conduct electricity and are involved in fluid balance and signaling in the body.
- The four main electrolytes are sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium, along with chloride, phosphate, and bicarbonate.
- Electrolytes form compounds with other substances and become positively or negatively charged ions.
- Electrolytes are needed in relatively large quantities, while trace minerals are needed in smaller amounts but are equally important.
- Copper and iron can become toxic if there is an excess in the body.
- Manganese and zinc are essential trace minerals involved in various enzymatic reactions.
- Signs that indicate a need for minerals and electrolytes include dizziness, heart arrhythmias, muscle cramps, headaches, numbness and tingling, mood swings and irritability, slow wound healing, dry flaky skin, digestive issues, poor immunity, and general fatigue.
- Soil depletion due to mass farming and synthetic fertilizers has led to mineral deficiencies in many people.
- Anemia can be caused by a deficiency in iron, B vitamins, zinc, or copper.
- Dehydration and lack of proper signaling can also contribute to general fatigue and blood sugar regulation issues.
- Chromium and manganese are important for insulin sensitivity and blood sugar regulation.
Thank You❤
I hang on to every word you say.. It's so interesting to listen to you speaking. ❤
Just read something yesterday about sodium and potassium in that if you add too much salt to your food, you can raise your blood pressure…and I think we’ve all heard that at some point, which is why “they” say you need to limit sodium intake. But what I didn’t know, is that usually creates an imbalance where potassium becomes too low, and if you add potassium supplement, that brings the blood pressure back down. Maybe I interpreted the meta analysis wrong?
Thank you @haroldmack1704. The kidneys filter out about 200 liters of water along with sodium, then it reabsorbs 99.5% of the sodium through the sodium potassium pump which pulls 3 sodium molecules back in and expels 2 potassium molecules out. This is not the only mechanism that regulates the two, but sodium and potassium are regulated against each other to some degree. 😄
No it s right
All I can say is "THANK YOU "!!!!!!!!
The fact that he didn't end the video mentioning he sell a minerals supplement was amazing... Genius!
Thank you @i1pro 😄
He did though.
Even if he did it's fine if it align with content and what he's doing is not wrong in illegal or immoral manner .
Agreed. It’s appropriate content, not an endless marketing video. Well done!
Did you even watch the whole video? It was not at the end, but about 2/3 the way through.
Beautiful journey showing deltas through functional examples, thanks :)
This video was one of most completely informative and game changer ,for me, that you have made. Thank you! And when I be ready, I will get the " eulyte". Thanks again dr. Ekberg.
As a fan of healthy living and sports, I find your content very interesting, I've been following you for a couple of years now. I think you would do well to open a secondary channel in Spanish, as Dr. Berg did, it is a way to reach an important audience and I'm sure there are many people who would be interested in your content. Greetings!
This is a very important video to listen to.
Great information once again. BTW, at 29:30, you were talking about Mn and you said Mg.
Thks very much Dr Ekberg.
Your videos are always easy to understand and full of necessary knowledge.
God bless
I learned from this, thank you!
Thank you @dingdang3845. Glad to hear it. 😄
I really enjoyed this video, so many interesting facts you're sharing thank you!
Melanin in humans is closely related to chlorophyll in plants.
Body mass index & body hair of the limbs & torso is closely related to animals.
We all are mineral filled to provide us with functional anatomy systems.
We are differently similar! Happy Trails!
Good evening sir...
Sir In ur product why do u use magnesium citrate instead of magnesium glycinate? We hv heard that magnesium glycinate is more bio available form...plz explain...regards
Thank you Dr. always so fascinating and informative. Listen and learn for me ❤
Agree with our body being animal. Treat and love your animal well with Dr. Ekberg's help.
Love this channel I found! Like a Dr. Berg but with actual helpful information.
Sir good morning, am,from Switzerland, where could I buy Eulyte, thanks love how you share Knowledge God bless you and your family
Unrelated to this video but can you do video on Earthing or Grounding. I have been doing it with Great results along with your teachings on proper nutrition ❤ what you do!!!!
When will you have Euvexia available WITHOUT STEVIA?
