Keto Witch So you can't go through a whole night without eating? That is odd. You probably should increase your fat content. You have to get off of carbs. Take an actual quality electrolyte/ mineral supplement. Increase your fasting window in very small increments every week or so.
Keto Witch I use Dr. Bergs electrolyte powder. It disolves in my water. I stir it up and drink it.
Keto Witch Oh and most "real doctors" don't know anything about diet and nutrition. This dude is great. But most conventional docs are very flawed in their approach. I don't recommend using that method as a criteria for accepting any advice or not.
I guess the magnesium oxide not doing me much good? I do shut up and eat my greens though.
Dr.... please.....stop telling me to shut up!....he he he he he he
I've been battling chronic fatigue for my entire adult life (30M). I'm in ridiculous shape, I eat healthy but I couldn't figure out what was wrong. I tried everything. Eventually, I decided to start taking Magnesium Glycinate and Magnesium Citrate before bed. After a month of doing so, I feel well rested every single night. I am more productive at work. I am more confident, more assertive, generally in a better mood and just an overall greater pleasure to be around.
I think magnesium deficiency is what I was struggling with. I can't believe after all this time, I've finally identified the issue. Somebody pinch me, I must be dreaming!
What dosage of Mg did you take?
What kind of magnesium supplements brands do you take ? Do the higher doses work best
Brian, thank you for sharing! I am in the same exact boat, I will ramp up my intake through food choices + supplementing as well! Keep healthy my man.
I started taking 340 mg of magnesium glycinate about two months ago for some harmless arrhythmias.
I recently noted that my BP is now consistently 110/70. I’ve always been a 125/85 guy and took 5 mg of lisinopril for many years.
I’ve since discontinued all meds and can only assume my lower BP is due the daily magnesium dose! Amazing.
Thanks for sharing.
But how did your doc & you decide to get off your 5 mg a day Lisinopril? Did you just one day stop completely the BP medicine - and keep eye on blood pressure? Hope you see this - a whole year later- Would be nice to see an update here from you, thank you!!
i get these arrythmias as well, had all the test. just curious how well mag worked for you before i dive in and also what brand you get
@@yashkumaryk42 damn that is ashame, my bp is normal actually i was refering to my arrythmias. But yea i notice magnesium not help much recently for that problem to
But...NO...it's not amazing..it's random fact. What doctore is gonna tell you this. .let alone...knows this??
Not f^ ckin many.
You look a lot better now six years later!
I LOVE the way he speaks: honest, knowledgeable and simple. Great teacher.
Yes Yes Yes!!!
His country swag I love it!!
And he is now carnivore. He doesn’t eat his greens 🥬. I accept that we all move on. We change grow and learn, which is all the more reason that we should respect him. But I would prefer that he took this down and replaced it with an, “if you eat an omnivorous diet, eat your greens. But if you are mostly animal based, like me, your needs are potentially difficult and here is why...... And you can obtain magnesium from these animal sources”.
@@hair2050 Hello!! So the way to get magnesium as a carnivore, only by suplements? Thanks
I accidentally found out magnesium fixes my blood pressure..lol I was looking for anything to get off blood pressure meds, started taking potassium and magnesium every night. Blood pressure went down from 140/95 to 117/70, ran out of magnesium and my blood pressure went back up. Thank you for posting this!
Please, which potassium and how much? And what dosage of magnesium? TIA
Dr. Berg says magnesium controls blood pressure too. I went from 136/85 to 112/75.
KETO Diamon
@rcaugh Any particular brand? Plus how long did it take until you saw your blood pressure come down?
KETO Diamond Is the Salt my friend try to eat less salt and consume some SPINACH they contain a ton of magnesium and POTASSIUM as well. 😊
I LOVE the way he speaks: honest, knowledgeable and simple. Great teacher.
I have been taking Omeprazole and diclofenac for 7 years now and no doctor told me about taking magnesium. Just started reading about the two drugs I am taking because of the site effects I have been experiencing. I am 60 years old and I have to tell you, the way majority of doctors treated me is just outrageous. Each time I mention the site effects I am ignored. Something is wrong when I as patient have to look on the internet to find out what the hell is wrong with the prescriptions I am given.
very true. doctors only prescribe meds because that’s what they have been taught snd how they make a living. what was your issue, and what did you do about?
love to know
It's called big pharma and kick backs. it's easier to write a script for the poison than to really diagnose. Next!
SIDE effects are the most important symptoms. We definitely have to be our own advocates.
@@margiemudge6607 Today my doctor said well all drugs have side effects.
@@marge3477 That is a pill pusher. A doctor probably isn't in the AMA.
Thank you Dr. Berry for all your advice.
I was Dx with diabetes on Christmas eve. A1c was 11.6, i started following your keto, and then carnivore advice. Three mos later A1c= 7.1. Got off the metformine and switched to berberine and french lilac. Now my A1c is 6.1, down from 11.6 in six mos. BP is 100/70, all labs are good. My primary doctor almost pissed himself, said it couldn't be done. I hope to have my A1c out of the pre diabetic range and back to normal on a few mos.
Thank you so much !!
Metformin is made from French lilac.
This is amazing
I'm truly happy for you! I've been doing Carnivore, I'm also Type 2 diabetic, and my A1c is down to 4.8.
I remember doing a Nutrition lab experiment in college, feeding a lab rat a zero Magnesium diet. That poor rat became so neurologic after about 10 days that we stopped the trial & put him back on normal feed. The Neuro signs resolved in about 3 days. Magnesium matters!
What neuro symptoms developed in the rst?? 😮
@@zoezzzarko1117 He probably had really bad muscle cramps at different times of the day. Especially at night.
I get restless leg syndrome and can't sleep. Magnesium makes that go away.
As a mom living north of Detroit, I was originally interested in providing my sons with enough fiber to solve their problems with constipation. I planted Kurly Kale from seed behind my petunias in front of my house. I would pinch off the tiny flowers when they came, but was able to harvest kale 11 months of the year. They would die down in February and start up again from the roots in March. At dinner time, I would simply slip out my front door with my kitchen shears, shake the snow off the plant and cut what I wanted for our meal. I could easily "hide" torn bits of kale in any hot dish (mac & cheese, spaghetti, chili, etc.). The top leaves were always tender enough for my salads. My plants were 4 years old when I moved away from them. I never gave them a bit of care but they produced wonderfully anyway.
I made a big pot of collard greens yesterday with turkey sausage, onion, and seasoning, and my son and I just gobbled them up, they were so good. We love them!
I used to suffer from mineral deficiency and had many health problems from drinking reverse osmosis water, now I drink spring water after finding out what the problem was, never been this healthy in years. No supplements. Thanks.
Fulvic acid supposed to be good, too
I used to get really bad leg cramps, sometimes from my groin to my knee in my inner thigh or right in the middle of my calves, specially at night when I stretched my legs, since supplementing with magnesium they have stopped.
What type and mg used?
I've gone from months of Keto to carnivore just 5 weeks ago. Last week I started feeling my heart beating hard. I thought it was my blood pressure as I've stopped all my blood pressure meds but it was 117 / 73. It got worse over the next few days and caused me to not sleep last night. Laying down made the problem worse. This morning at 3:45am I woke and took a hot shower, in the shower I recalled seeing this video just the day before. "magnesium is critical for the heart" so on a hunch I went to the kitchen and dug out the magnesium supplement that I had purchased just a few weeks before. I wasn't taking it because the tablets were so big. I took two (the recommended daily dose) and before 5am I began to notice I was feeling better. My heart was not beating so weird and my mood became better. Now it's almost 8am and I feel great. I can't even feel my heart beating and my pressure is 110/69.. not bad for 60 and no medications what so ever.
Magnesium.. you need it!
Thanks doc.
So glad to read this. Your experience has helped me!
@@andsoitgoes1142 I agree with you. I have been taking some electrolyte drink mix that has mega potassium in it (Dr. Berg). I've been doing the same as you, eating salt. I found that when I have an urge to eat something, salt relieves the urge.
Now I'm taking more pills than I was before. All vitamins and supplements to compensate for what I'm not getting.
I will say that I feel 10 times better than I did just a few months ago.
I just started with iodine and wow. energy is through the roof!
@TurboKing I will check that out.
I'm a bit worried now because if I don't take electrolytes twice a day my heart does that weird beating pattern and I get cramps in my feet.
Love your content, I’m a Holistic Health Practitioner and totally agree with your video on magnesium. I push it to most of my Patients
Dr. Berry, I enjoy all of your videos, but I am confused. One time you sayBEEF ONLY and then you say eat plenty of greens. Can you explain ?????????
@@margaretmccluskey2654This video is older and since then he discovered the health benefits of carnivore.
I think you saved my life. I was magnesium deficient and had all the symptoms. I don't have them anymore after I started taking a supplement and eating keto. Thank you.
Are you still taking it?
We started Keto and got a magnesium citrate supplement. I have fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and vitamin D deficiency amongst other things. I USED to have migraines (at least one weekly) and have only had one or two a month since taking the supplement. We ran out and I got daily headaches that stopped as soon as we got more. I ALWAYS feel better after an epsom salt bath. Thanks for the tips.
On lowest dose of thiazide for BP (sole condition) for two weeks with no guidance from my doctor on managing palpitations, dehydration, and diet. The complexities of magnesium, potassium, calcium and how they work together and more importantly, how deficiencies (and excesses!) in one of these minerals has consequential effects. After two days of trolling the internet to better understand the medication, the symptoms, and fit it all together, I landed upon one of your videos. More doctors should provide the basic education you provide. It's not enough to hand a patient a scrip and hope they thrive. Your community and patients have a gem in you.
My wife got me into listening and I love what you tell everyone. I wish more doctors do it. Keto and IF is working for me.
Me too brother. I am doing EWOT, omad and 200 to 300 pushups 2 days on and one day off. 71 and getting younger every day. Great vid here but I drink magnesium carbonate water every day. Super cheap and easy to make and you get a dose every time you drink and all day long. Source for it is Dr. Sircus and he teaches you how to make it.
Nice to see some older guys keeping an open mind and reaping the rewards, congrats on feeling better guys.
Are you related to Robert Quackenbush, the author of the kids books? We love those!
@@stockinettestitch Not that I know of
My experience~~> cramps in legs, slow muscle recover after contracting, dizziness when standing, high blood pressure, constipation, palpitations, restless sleep and cranky! My M.D. was clueless wanting elaborate invasive procedures like nerve conduction testing. My diet was organic ketogenic, zero medications, in my seventies. I blame stress from a death in the family. After watching several videos (this one best) I started taking high dose Magnesium Gluconate powder daily plus few grams of Ascorbic Acid in my distilled water. Muscle cramps stopped after 2 days!! The remaining symptoms started to diminished immediately, greatly improved after a month ~~ amazing really.
and take your METH....i didn't say crystal meth....take Methylcobalamin B12...THAT was a life-changing day when my husband took
the advice our chiropractor friend suggested i take after my having long history Crohns disease and a double bowel resection 20 days in a hospital
only to become much worse all because I was B12 deficient....i also must take Mag sups as well...whenever i get butterflies in my heart, aka PVCs
I make sure I take Mag sups...my heart rhythm behaves, no more eye twitching, muscle weakness, muscle cramps.
OMG...WHY are doctors NOT given more than 2 days worth medical training for supplements, vitamins...i mean DUH!
I was given Beta Blockers and valium to help me "cope" with my non-stop round the clock PVCs that were in a dangerous
bi-gymeny potential deadly dysarrhythmia cardiac pattern.
@@ZeldaZelda-RichesToRags a good herb for the heart is hawthorn berries. I had a feeling of butterflies in my heart, went to an iridology list, he looked into my eyes and said I had three parasites in my heart which was causing the butterfly effect or racing effect. He handed me a bottle of hawthorn berries and said it strengthens the heart but only use it for one month. After using it 2 weeks the racing feeling went away and never came back. Thought this info might help you as hawthorn berries is a high antioxidant good for heart health strength.
My symptoms are much the same. Bloodwork showed low potassium and I suspect my magnesium is the same. I don't know what milligram of Magnesium to Potassium to buy. I am glad to hear you are feeling better with the steps you took. So good!
@@katnip198 The bottle of whatever brand or strength of magnesium you buy will direct you on how much of that product you should take daily.
@@katnip198 Here is what you need to do. (1). Go buy Magnesium Glycinate 400. It is made by KAL. I would hope you by it online from ebay or Amazon. If you buy it from a store by near where you live, It will cost you as much as $15.00 to $20.00 more., This is why I buy it online. Simply follow the Serving Per Day Amount. I buy 99 Mils of Potassium Citrate. 180 Pills for only $ 7.99 and Free Shipping made by Now Foods. I hope this helps. Larry.
Since I started taking magnesium supplements and also followed the intermittent fasting, I was able to go off of one of my blood pressure medication. I hope to eventually get off of the second one,But I am so happy with the results so far. Thank you! Thank you so much.
I started taking magnesium and after about a week I felt better than I have in 20 years, I had bad muscle cramping, it's now gone.
Which one in mgnesium
What kind of magnesium?

@@lindadavidson1690 Magnesium Citrate or Glyconate
My heart was skipping or beating irregular. Starting taking magnesium taurate and the rhythm is steady after one week.
I know it's been a year, but just wondering how you're doing with the steady heartbeats? I'm currently experiencing tachycardia type symptoms & it's been going in for a few days now. Getting a little worried.
@@snowblo1 Still steady.
@@j-bro894 Oh cool. One last question. Are you still taking your magnesium on a regular basis.
Thank you Doctor, everyone truly appreciates your knowledge and sharing it with us.
I recently started taking magnesium and then I had bloodwork done and it was low! I then had a video chat with my Dr. and she recommended to double the dose, it has made a huge difference in my sleeping at night!!! Good to see this video, the foods are a real great suggestion, I didn't know about these!
I went to the hospital in nsw australia yesterday to have a catheter removed…went into Afib …heart rate 150bpm…taken to emergency, given iv drip magnesium sulphate (epsom salt) and potassium chloride….2 hours later feeling fine, 1 hour later sent home feeling like a new man….
Magnesium solved my back problem! omg i had back spasms for ten years. i went to drs and ofc i was given drugs, i had adjustments, i did yoga, meditated. now the last two changed my life, but i still had this pain.. nothing worked. it finally became almost constant when my daughter got me some magnesium and made me take a lot... boom back pain gone in 6 hours! it has not returned. i had other related symptoms, joint pain, foot cramps, leg pain... all clearing up since i began the doses and i changed my diet to more raw veggies, leafy mixed greens giant salads, for dressing hummus, with olive oil and vinegar which are all good for you. cashews are rich in magnesium. less carbs and i'm aiming for less sugars too. i work 10 hr shifts, i'm very very active, in a busy deli, and i run circles around people. i feel awesome now!
what form of Magnesium do you take?
@yan chang boom is just an expression like wham, presto, or instant. That's all
Best if no gut problems mag citrate. Always take with food. 200mg 2x day. Also helps absorption of vit d3.
Dub Siren a cardiologist here in the Uk recommends Magnesium Threonate.
Same. Spasms, cramps, dull pain in low and mid back, for couple years. Unexplained. Until... that's right, I started using epsom salt topically in only a few days it was significantly better. Within a week it seemed to be "cured." Quotes because how knows.... Also I sleep better, am more calm, and joints feel better. All unexpected.
You have just become my "go to" nutrition Dr.! Thank you! I'm sharing with my family too!
Same
Intersting to see Dr Berry recommending leafy greens and chocolate since he is now 100% carnivore.....
yes lol
Let me first thank you for this wonderful video! I learned so much from it. Allow me in this fortuitous moment to share something I read in one of Dr. Dean’s books about magnesium that caught my attention: “The biggest obstacle to magnesium is that most people think it’s too simple a solution. If you feel you have a serious condition, you may expect the treatment to be just as extreme, so with magnesium, its simplicity is its downfall”.
I love 💕 your style Doctor. Not out to sell products instead give good info!! 👏👏👏👏
I love this Real Doctor, let's clone him and open a clinic in every town... Thank you DR Berry for your service.
I've got room my basement to house a clone!

Thank you for your expertise. I was having trouble with sleep and a friend recommended magnesium and it has worked wonders for me. You just confirmed everything for me plus showed me what else I should be eating. I'm a 63 yr old female and do not want to die from something so easy to rectify. Thank you for your podcasts as I am following your advice on many subjects.
1. Leafy Greens
2. Nuts and seeds
3. Avocado
4. Dark chocolate
Almost all high in oxalates ... not good for those of us suffering from high oxalates that have damaged our health. And oxalates deplete our magnesium (by binding to them).
@@JCKay So does dark chocolate have high oxalates.??
@@JCKay , you can eat banana, brocoli, kale ,long bean etc
My problem is ive also gall bladder problems and IBS so almonds, avocado , chocolate and eggs are all forbidden and I love chocolate ! So my best bet then must be to take a magnesium supplement I guess and eats loads of leafy greens.
@Nathan gamezio thanks for reply, ive been advised to take alka clear powder in first thing in the morning by my kinesiologist as she told me I was to acidity. Ive read drinking ACV also helps with gall bladder problems but for me its a no no. I will look up the herb moringa as well but im at moment taking milk thistle and a herb called LIVpro which is for liver and gall bladder problems too. I have bought some vitamin c as well. All your reply isn't showing above but I did manage to read it all my email just now thanks
I'm a registered dietitian and knew that serum calcium will always try to correct itself in the blood and I tell bariatric patients that all the time. It's great to know that about serum magnesium too.
U need to also tell ur patients they'll have b12 folate deficiency too
This is life saving and altering. Thank you Dr. Berry.
I take 400 mg. of Mag. Citrate. 1 pill in the morning and 2 in the evening and I have never slept so well since taking the supplements, and yes I eat my greens also. Thanks Doc!
Colorado mark. Your steal my brother's handle. I thought there was only allowed 1 Colorado mark ? Now there is 2 I am aware of.
Mag biglysinate
# BioShwartz. !! Is amazing.
So 1200mg a day?
@@panthersarebeast1111 just 400 mg per day total.
I would wake up 2 or 3 times a night with tightness in lower back and hamstrings. I would stretch and use bengay. This went on for a long time. Four months ago I started taking 400 mg of magnesium right after supper. I no longer have those cramps and tight muscles. I sleep through the night. Trust me life is a lot easier to deal with when you are rested.
Doctor, please talk a little bit more about the lack of magnesium. It can cause bipolar disorder, suicidal tendencies, mood swings, depression and much more. So many peoples in the United States suffers from depression. Many psychiatrists do not check for vitamin deficiencies, but instead administer strong psychotropic drugs. Your audience need to hear more about this problem. Thank you.
Thank you for being a voice for us with mental disabilities.
@@terriberrens2144 minerals deficiencys and vitamins deficiencys is the real mental health sk is b12 and folate deficiency head drs do not want people to no.uts there dirty little secret
Americans' diets consist of a majority of ultra processed foods. Being poisoned and don't realize it.
@@covington105 this is true. a lot of people who suffer from mental health issues such as anxiety or depression are sometimes deficient in minerals!
Magnesium stopped my late-night headaches cold-before I got into keto. Now, with keto and fasting, the inflammation (degenerative disc disease) is simply gone. Still supplementing with time-release magnesium, D3 and K2, and adding plenty of salt AND "NoSalt" potassium chloride to my food.
I took natrilix 1.5mg per day will that deplete my magnesium level
Can you tell me which brand of magnesium you bought
@@daby8399 I've used many brands. I'm currently using Natural Flow 4x Tranquility. I've also used Sinatra's Broad-Spectrum Complex.
Hi! I’m an adult and I LOVE leafy greens but I’m very oxalate sensitive. The last time I ate cooked spinach I almost went to the hospital. I’ve been doing epsom salt soaks and they are really helping. Just wanted you to know :)
The best is to mix cheese with leafy greens, Calcium will prevent oxalate crystals forming
@@liorkimelblat7994 I did! I ate an Indian dish called saag paneer which is cooked spinach sauce with cheese cubes in it! It’s my favorite but darn near killed me. Even raw spinach or kale is out for me.
@@DolceVitaGurl yikes thats scary, would go with low oxalate stuff which hopefully wont effect too much the sensitivity
Arugula has a very low level of oxalates!!
Me too. I’ve been drinking smart water and a supplement. No vegetables please. I do take algae, Chlorella and Spirulina. No oxalates! It’s not a plant or an animal and it’s loaded with vitamins and minerals and detoxes.
You are the best! you’re just so honest and straight up! 💪🏼 Thank you 😊
So informative! I’ve been looking into this after taking omeprazole it made me feel like crap. I had all the symptoms of magnesium deficiency. Never again!!!!!
Gotta laugh watching this 6 years later and seeing you telling people the BEST thing to do is eat their leafy green vegetables.
I was thinking the same thing! Who added 2024 to the title?
I'm not sure. A lot of his videos have the current year as if they've been updated or something.
Correct!
Lately he discourages people from eating vegetables due to the pesticides
Thanks Ken .. your videos actually are Brilliant .. you deserve your growing audience ... referencing you when ever I can ..
"Shut up and eat your greens" LOVE IT!!!
Yes!
I want that on a T-shirt 😂
That's what I tell people now that I've been on a ketogenic diet for a while. Vegetables (non starchy) are a very important part of a healthy diet!
Robert Hicks I’ve star saying this to my kids!
Robert Hicks This made me giggle & I tried this out on my husband... quickly kissed him LOL... know what? He ate his damn greens!
Dr. Berry, is Lisinopril 40 MG daily depleting my magnesium?
Love this ❤️ thank u!!! I had really bad vitamin D and magnesium deficiency 🥺🥺 your videos really helped me thank u again
Thank you so much, I'm going to order some for my daughter off of Amazon thank you for the links that you have given. I'm hoping and praying it will help with the high blood pressure she has been experiencing she's just 28 but has a lot of stress in her life at the moment I'm very grateful for you taking the time to put this info here on youtube. God Bless you Sir. Have a Blessed and Beautiful day or evening.
Wow she's only 28 and high BP. Thats so young. I hope she gets better whwn she starts taking magnesium.! God Bless you and your daughter ❤
@@buckie48192 thank you so much we can use the prayers and we appreciate it very much God bless you
@@blessedand4givenipress570 your very welcome hon. We all need prayers now and then and help along the way ❤
Thanks Doc! Lots of good info. I’m on magnesium infusions monthly. I have crohns and lose a lot of nutrition. I stay away from the leafy greens because they go right through me. I’m also on Remicade which doesn’t seem to be helping. I do 4 chewable magnesium pills a day. 400 mg each. I’m going to get one of the supplements you suggested. Thank you again!
I'm on a plant based diet with plenty of greens but I still manage to have heart palps and cramps so I'm definitely supplementing.
You may have low stomach acid and are unable to absorb enough of the vitamins and minerals. Try taking apple cider vinegar pills and and enzyme pill with betane hydrochloride
You must be eating plant produce with high potassium. Reduce that and increase your magnesium intake to balance.
I drink Natural Calm everyday. Omg!!! It made my back spasms go away. Plus the leg cramps, migraines, and my monthly’s are sooo much better! I’m glad my chiropractor recommended it.
@@ameyperkins4691 I love that stuff too!
Thank you for this lesson Dr! After an endoscopy finding several issues, gastric ulcer, esophagitis, suspect gastroparesis and lower esophageal sphincter, I was prescribed Lansoprazole. I am 54 yes old, not over weight currently on a low carb diet due to being diagnosed with a fatty liver and calcium starting to form in my arteries. Because I'm watching your videos of course! Anyway, talking to the nurse practitioner at a follow up visit she recommended not taking a magnesium supplement because it may harm my liver. This kind of confuses me. Any thoughts?
I really think she doesn't know what she's talking about.
Get a new doctor.
WOW Doc! You nailed it! Night cramps, insomnia, and HBP meds. Magnesium, here I come. Will keep up dated. Thanks!
@Eric Von Dumb. What’s your status? Did the magnesium help?
Wow, this sounds like a game changer for health. Thank you for sharing this!
Being on a carnivore diet (which you recommend) I thought nuts and some greens aren't the best to consume. Please help me understand? Thank you!
This video was made 6 years ago. He has learned and grown since then. His videos show his progressive learning through the years. I would love for him to take down and redo the oldest ones
I find your tutorials extremely informative.I started started taking magnesium 250 mg daily having occasional leg cramps ( will speak w PMD also) Started on keto 5wks ago.
Thanks for really useful information plz keep giving us more information about deficiency of vitamins and minerals
I take 40 mg of Pantoprazole a day, what do you recommend for acid reflux? I also take 80 mg of Telmisartan for high blood pressure. What are your recommendations?
Now this is a doctor! Grow up and shut up. Lol. Love this!
LOL, yep!
Ruby Sage I ♥️ him! He makes me want to move to his hometown. He. Is. The. BEST!
No reason, in most instances, to recommend magnesium citrate unless you like having bad diarrhea.
Amy Wemple never thought about it but yeah I can move to Tennessee
Sandy S. Glycinate and malate magnesium is best
For years of drinking loads of water and not sleeping well I stumbled across magnesium supplementation that worked wonders.
me too -cramp in the legs cramp in the stomach-problems with toilets big and small -all over and out after magnesium every day-headache and migraine just went away-love magnesium
Magnesium has helped me too for my insomnia
Would love an update on this now that you recommend a different diet
Hi Doctor Berry, thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge. I've learned a lot from your videos. I've recently started magnesium citrate. However, I've recently watched a video with someone claiming that it's not safe (something about iron). Have you heard about this? Also, what's your thoughts on magnesium L-Threonate? I'd really appreciate your insight. Thanks again.
Why is it that unless we study up on TH-cam, we as non medical people don’t know how to keep ourself healthy. I never miss appointments, blood work, medications or supplements and I don’t feel like my doctor is up on the stuff you talk about. He’s attentive and asks me questions about what’s wrong with me, but he doesn’t offer information like you do. I feel like unless I ask the exact right question? I don’t even stand a chance of finding out what could possibly be wrong with me. You connect the dots. Maybe he does too, but I can’t tell. 😓😬
@Jacob H Remember that M.D. does not stand for medical deity. Many people practically worship the M.D. Most M.D.s are only trained to write prescriptions - after all it is big pharma that funds to medical schools. Research how Rockefeller and friends started it all. They drummed out the naturopaths. And they are still working on that as they are now trying to get Homeopathic Remedies banned, as well as there has been a move to ban or limit Vitamins & Minerals. Why are we so apathetic about this?
I would like to see a t-shirt with that saying!! “Shut up and eat your leafy greens!” 🥬
He's now carnivore and changed this advice though
How much do you take of both?
OXALATES
I just started taking two types of magnesium and my life is changed.
what has changed? I think I need some
Vashti Perry which type
Thank you for sharing I've been on this for the past couple of days and what I eat is sweet potatoes and spinach which they both have potassium and magnesium so I eat those daily instead of taking any pills. Also, I learned that sweet potatoes help with the flu viruses and colds.
Amazing information and I appreciate it! Thank you for sharing the honest truth and not the lobbyist, kickback crap that a lot of others self compromise with! I appreciate your candid honesty and transparency!! Coaches Collins!! 😊
I'm going to shut up and eat my greens 😮
Until you find out he's now on the carnivore diet
@@The_Paddle_Smith carnivore diet has alot of benefits.... so that has nothing to do with taking a magnesium supplement
@@oooo-tp2vq I'm on the carnivore diet myself. Seems you didn't watch the video
God bless you Doctor Ken. Thanks for all you do for us! excellent
Magnesium has been a life saver for my restless legs! It had gotten so miserable at night then my nurse practioner told me to take Magnesium-it works!
Thanks so much for your no nonsense approach to good health. I want to suggest that the carnivore keto diet is effective in 5 ways from quality meat and a direct way from quality fat. From meat 2 ways: two amino acids are released by the catabolysing of ingested muscle. One is glycine, critical for nerve health and formation and glutamine, critical as a fuel and for regulation of nitrogen breakdown and excretion. With free L-glutamine circulating in the blood, the body stops catabolysing its native muscle. Glycine is essential for neuron health, our brain consists of glycerin in various forms made from glycine and cholesterols. No glycine and no fat (direct way fat is effective) is a no brainer. From meat 3rd way: meats supply B12. The myelin sheath cannot be made without it. Myelin being the insulator tissue around dendritic nerve. No myelin no impulse conduction. Fat also direct in myelin schwann cells which wrap around nerves to prevent short circuiting of electric pulses. Now to the point of WHY our body eats our lean muscle. 4th and 5th way meat promotes nerve and muscle health: Muscle tissue contains in proper ratio magnesium and calcium. These bivalent minerals activate myosin and actin, proteins responsible for contracting and relaxing muscle fibers in various sheaths and nerve bundles. bundles. The western diet is over the top with calcium thereby depleting and binding any magnesium (however minuscule) which might be available. EDTA preservative binds magnesium in canned foods whether meat or vegetables. It is added to prevent bacteria spoilage. Like bacteria we need magnesium for hundreds of enzyme functions. When we eat EDTA in any food it chelates magnesium. Tired?Blood cells cannot be made without magnesium and B12. Eat fresh, eat meat and eat fat. Be lean and well🥬🍗🐣🙏🏿
I’ve taken a magnesium supplement every night for at least ten years. It’s my understanding that it’s also good for muscle contractions and can be easily depleted in folks who work out hard and often.
And for me the right type is important but even more so the right amount. 400mg keeps me regular but 800 and I better have access and a clear lane to the bathroom or else
for sure, that was ME!
How about your blood pressure?
Jordan Winkler What type of Mag. are you taking.
I have low blood pressure can i still take magnesium?
Great stuff and I learnt a tremendous amount here! Thank you so much.
I swear by magnesium if I don't take it , I can tell a definite difference♥️
Thank you for the info just found you. God bless you for helping us all. Great info.
Hi Doc! I had ulcerative colitis for yrs. my doc put me on all kinds of stuff trying to control it. I even tried two different big pharmas injectables. They were not working. So I got mad at my doc and researched myself about what to do. I came across a Japanese doctor video and they were trying a Zinc-L carnosine complex and a tri- magnesium mix. Well after a couple of weeks I was freaking cured. All the bleeding stopped and the running to the bathroom every couple minutes. I was to the point of seeing a surgeon to get my guts out. Now all I have to is keep taking the minerals. Simple. Today’s docs (not you) are hostage to the drug companies and not to getting you well. The shots I tried cost 12-13,000. I had to pay copay of 600-700 a month for crap that didn’t work. That’s flat out wrong. Do your own research if you want to get well. Love your talks and good information. ❤️👍🏻💪🏻🖖🏻🙋🏼♀️🐾🐾🐾
Could you please tell me where you get your zinc-L carnosine complex and tri-magnesium mix please
"Shut up, eat your greens" should be on a T-shirt and bumper sticker!!
A bit hard for anyone with ARFID (avoidant restrictive food intake disorder) who have a restrictive diet of usually high starch and high sugar foods through psychological issues, being repelled to the point of vomiting on anything else. I know someone who only eats hot chips. He avoids eating out with others because it's impossible. "Shut up and eat your greens" isn't going to help those people. Very few dietitians talk about ARFID or they pretend it isn't anything but a trivial preference or just stubbornness.
Sergio Tapia unless you’re sensitive to salicylate. I get miserable from greens, so I take a magnesium supplement and epsom salt baths.
Best public interest statement or tag line or Moro since 'Just say NO'
SHUTUP and eat your greens !!!
I'm not big into taking bath but can you do an Epsom salt foot soak that be just as effective?
I can’t digest it will, not a lot of people can
Very well explained thanks 🙏
I wish Dr Berry would make a follow up video on this. He has changed his mind on leafy greens
If you had your thyroid removed, are you more prone to Magnesium deficiency or should there be a particular Mg to take? People will thyroid issues commonly complain of fatigue. Thank you for this very informative video
Enjoy all your videos !!
"Shut up and eat your vegetables" got me laughing so hard !!
lol, yep :)
I take 1 sometimes 2 losinopril for blood pressure 🌼 daily, I never drink milk 🥛
I'm very tired all the time, I'm 69 years old.
Please let me know if there is anything I can do to feel better. Thank you so much.
Another informative video. Thanks so much for the tips on magnesium.
Welcome! Future video ideas?
KenDBerryMD i would love a video on keto for gaining weight.
Lori Clyburn Me, too. I want to get the non-weight related benefits of this new-to-me Ketogenic approach, and I already weigh 98 pounds. [At the beginning of 2018, I weighed almost 130 pounds - a lot for me, since I am a small person. Getting a divorce is a great way to lose weight, but I can’t recommend it.]
Merry Christmas and have a MAG-nificent day. Tnx for sharing.....
Dr Berry. I am in treatment for a form of nonhodgkins leukemia. The med that I currently take daily aggravates my pre-existing high blood pressure. I was on 5, that’s right 5 blood pressure meds. I started taking 400 mg of magnesium. Changed my life. Dropped by 20 points +. I’ve dropped 2 of my BP meds. I’m not suggesting this for others by any means, but it was for me after watching this. Thanks for what you put out there!
Thank you, doctor. I appreciate the information. Question: what is the dosage that is safe and effective? Again, thank you.
I eat raw pumpkin seeds. 1/8 cup contains about 50% daily need. I also use a mag. Foot spray each night.
Very good video. Did not know about the acid blockers until you mentioned them. Thank you!
Lmao, “shut up and eat your greens” love it!!
lol, yep
@@KenDBerryMD STFU and get that cod liver oil down, i say!
I love this doctor's personality...lol ...just love when he said to the grownups.. "shut up" n eat your greens!!!...u are so right dr..
I guess this is an older video but it says 2023. The oxalates in greens and nuts were killing my gut and intestines. I am strict Carnivore and now take Magnesium Citrate as a supplement.
I never was a salad eater , but since going Keto and getting Healthier I found a way to incorporate them. Chop them up and add or mix them into pretty much anything I eat . Stir fry , eggs , if I have a different veg. some gets mixed it them :) If I tend to get slack , I will get leg cramps ... Also incorporate nuts daily . I've managed to get off 2 of my BP meds , but still on Metoprolol Succ ER . Have included some fasting in hope's to get off that one as well !!
You are doing an amazing job, keep it up!
KenDBerryM
Dr. Berry, I think you may have just saved my life! Thank you.
Thank you Doctor Berry for this information even though I'm watching it two years later so good information preciate you keep it up
Great stuff as always. I am getting lots of info on Keto and IF. I started about two weeks ago and am starting to feel a difference. Difference enough that when I cheated a bit over the weekend, I felt worse then ever. That in itself was enough to get me back on the wagon quick. Think about doing a video on what a balanced meal would be...doing two a day would be my preference. I I.F. from 8pm to noon. I have never liked breakfast, and found doing that very easy. I do worry (imagine others do) that I am not in balance yet with my eating...both nutrition, amounts and type.
Sometimes feeling terrible after you cheat is a good lesson learned
Great information,
I like the way you talk, 👍
3 tablespoons of pumpkin seeds has 140 mg of magnesium....sesame seeds 105 mg and sunflower seeds 100 mg of magnesium.
When I start eating pumpkin seeds I can't stop. 3 Tbs? ha! That is only the beginning!
@@FourStrongWinds4 I have been eating them from Lowe's grocery stores in north Carolina..the seeds come from Hi Point...lightly salted...and there sun flower seeds are lightly salted..there expensive but worth it...I eat them with magnesium pills because I have a bump in my heart beats...i chew them a little past completely because this much seed could get hung up in the intestinal tract and create a problem...I mix lightly salted pumpkin seeds and lightly salted sunflower seeds and red barn ntand unsalted sunflower seeds in a zip lock bag..this much magnesium and seed makes a person very very regular.
@@randyjohnson6845 Do you eat the shells too? I crack the shells off the pumpkin seeds, and I rarely eat sunflower seeds. When we were kids, we ate piles of them because we had gerbils and they ate lots of sunflower seeds. I think I got tired of them bc of that, but I rarely get sick, and maybe those sunflower seeds I ate as a kid had something to do with that. I also take Magnesium supplements. Especially when I can't sleep. Puts me out every time.
@@FourStrongWinds4 I never buy seeds with the shells..I get them ready to eat..but I always chew them COMPLETELY..my supplements are a magnesium taurine B6 combination...all study's show b6 with magnesium is better than magnesium alone..then every few months I'll go with magnesium citrate and bit a little piece of b6 but always with seeds
I Am currently on a hypertensive med, have had extremely tense muscles for years. Been on a recent natural change. Also suffer from anxiety & depression.
A friend put me onto a magnesium supplement. Again like you not one for specific brands. I also started taking blackseed oil supplements & also 5HTP. Only been on the magnesium for about 3 days and my tight muscles are virtually gone. My depression/anxiety is gone(took the 5HTP for about 3 months and I've never been better). Blackseed as i have read up on is an extremely good antioxidant.
