- Magnesium (Mg) deficiency is very common. Some experts estimate that over half of us have severe Magnesium depletion in our cells. A normal Magnesium blood test at your doctor's office tells you nothing. You can have a severe Mg defic. and have a normal serum Mg level.
It's optimal to eat plenty of low-carb foods rich in Mg, that way you know you are getting enough. It can take months of healthy eating to completely replace the Mg your cells need to function properly.
Some people need a supplement, but others can get all the Mg they need from food. If you don't recognize the signs then you might not think you have a problem. Here are 9 signs of Magnesium Deficiency you should know...

I wish all doctors were required to take nutritional classes
They dgaf.. legal drug pushers
They are "required" to receive a minimum of 25 hours in nutrition, and most don't complete even that.
sandra gaines Docs are required to take a lot of nutritional classes. I’m a nurse and I had to take a TON of nutrition classes. Nutrition unfortunately still falls in the alternative health zone and doctors work in the conventional zone. Supplements are not regulated so you can’t prescribe an amount, nor will insurance cover nutritional testing.
@@mariamayer6181 of course not ... cuz the fda is in on the scam too ... its a legal drug cartel... they dont test nutrition or even bother to ask cuz they know thats the problem... us cattle have been eating chemicals all our lives that they tell us is "food" ... theres a reason cancer is such a problem ... n it boils down to what we're ingesting
@@truthiseverything9511 7 years of school and the equivalent of 1.5 units of nutrition...
Been depressed since preteen....now in my early 50's and found 500mg magnesium finally, FINALLY made it go away. Day three I was still crying but by the end of the week I realized my depression was no longer hanging around my neck. For the FIRST time.
Kelly Ann .....so happy for you 🎼
Just no name 500mg Magnesium. I am now off my antidepressants. It tools six months, but I was weaned off of Wellbutrin & Seriquil XR. No side effects coming off except only needing 7hrs of sleep instead of 10 or 12. WTH am I doing up at 5am? LMAO 😂
Kelly Ann .....go to bed 0200 and wake up 0900 !
@@carinagrennan129 I usually do in the mornings with all my other vitamins that can be taken together. I'm sure I'm getting even more magnesium in my multivitamin that I added a yr and a half ago. All is well as I've had my levels checked. Everything was fine accept I was told to stop taking B12 as I was producing enough on my own. It was the only thing too high..
@@djformalin Went to bed at midnight, still up at 5 am. Brain is either anxious about changes in work or is just to cleared up from not being on anti-depressants. Body is tired buy my brain is wide awake. Maybe that just comes with getting older also. My bodies been thru a lot the last two years...LOL
My health issues that I have been going to the doctors for years now include insomnia, migraines and I have osteoporosis diagnosed at age 40 and I’m now 58. Another video I watched included migraines as a sign of low magnesium and I go to my family PCP yearly and I have never been tested for magnesium deficiency. I started taking 400 mg of magnesium last week and I’ve noticed better sleep and less migraines. I wake up with migraines regularly. I have more trust in you then I do in the health care system. Seriously, no one has EVER mentioned MAGNESIUM. THANK YOU, DR. BERRY!!!
70 on 2 months, I've had those symptoms all my life, thank you for this . Severe morning sickness5-6 months. Lost 12 kids doctors should have helped me, in hospital a lot! I pray this blesses someone besides me.

People complaining that he took too long to get to the symptoms should appreciate the important info he was sharing while they zoned out: He explained how your blood magnesium levels could be normal on a test, but your cellular level of magnesium could still be deficient.
wms72 people are so picky.
Yes , details are important. Anybody who doesn't listen and just wants answers is a fuckin idiot. We have to listen to every point of a subject , that's how we make rational informed decisions
My thought is what does good does it do to receive information with out the back drop of the what, why's & when. Folks today want info now and not one second later, like a dang spoiled child, makes me think of the rich girl on Willie Wonka(original one), we all remember what happened to her.
@@charlieclark2609 yes you have to listen over and over to get it in your brain to learn the more you listen the more you learn if your smart.
INDEED!!!
i'm a chiropractor w/ 42 years experience. never have I heard an MD make such perfect sense. I'm subscribed!

The only vitamin advice I ever really received in my younger years was from a Chiropractor
KenBerry and Dr Berg are my favorite doctors on TH-cam.
@@izounokuda5461 Dr John Bergman is awesome also
@@miamigrl5736 Yes! He's my favorite go-to Chiropractor to learn about the body. Dr. Bergman is a walking miracle and a blessing to all of those who find him on their journey.
What about severe anxiety disorder?? I have had trouble sleeping and eat benzos like candy. I went to the Dr. And got a blood test. It revealed that I was vitamin D deficient but he said my magnesium levels were normal. I've taken 400mg. of mag for 2 weeks and my sleep was AMAZING!!! Thank you for this video, Dr.!
Please try to come off the benzo’s , i almost died twice during a detox ❤❤
A chiropractor treated my low energy, B/P, and sluggish BM's with...Magnesium Citrate. He told me to drink a cap every 2 hours for 4 times for 3 days. I felt like a new person. Just bounding with energy. Cost 99 cents and so very worth it.

Thank you!!!
Thanks !
Great information. My cardiologist never did any blood work when I went due to high heart beats. Thanks for the information!
Thanks sir
It is negligence that nutrition continues to be ignored. Most MD's have no clue or interest in educating themselves on the basics of supplementation. Yet they're fluent in countless Big pharma drugs. Thank you for being one of the good guys Dr B! You're like the John Wayne of medicine 👌⭐... No nonsense and straight up!
YES!!!!!!
Amen. 👍☇
Most GPs are simply ‘prescription monkeys’ for Big Pharma.
YOU ARE ONE OF OUR FINEST HEROS!!
THANKS TO YOUR EDUCATING VIDEOS, MANY OF US HAVE BEEN ABLE TO RECOVER FROM “MYSTERIOUS” AILMENTS THAT NO MD HAS EVER (NEGLIGENTLY) CARED TO ADDRESS OR DIAGNOSE-
THERE IS A VAST MOVEMENT-THE PUBLIC HAS “FOUND OUT”, THE REAL “AGENDA OF THE AMA”
KILLING US BY THE THOUSANDS, DAILY, THROUGH THE ABDICATION OF THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES
NEED I SAY MORE????
And big pharma is all about money, not health.
This lecture is gold. Personally, I had the first 6 symptoms mentioned here, and nobody knew why. I took magnesium supplements 2 times a day for a few months and these symptoms improved or disappeared:
2:57 - #01, energy levels / ATP
3:24 - #02, tachycardia (fast heartbeat)
3:57 - #03, numbness / tingling
4:25 - #04
, muscle cramps / twitches
4:49 - #05, constipation
5:26 - #06
, insomnia
Do you have to continue to take that suppliment then or do you recover those stores and return to normal?
Met too!! I started twice a day 3 days ago and am already feeling improvement.
Me too. Although I was taking a magnesium oxide that wasn't readily absorbed in the blood. When I switched supplements everything got better.
All the best!
Magnesium absorbs through the skin. The old Magnesium body rubs were salty. I’ve just ordered Magnesium oil. I’m not sure if it will be salty or not. 🙏🤷♀️ Epson Salt’s has magnesium. That’s why grandmother soaked her feet in warm Epsom Salt’s water. ❤
Magnesium citrate from cotsco every other day worked for me. Lower blood pressure, better bowel movements, and improved sleep.
Great recommendations and as a 73-year-old, had severe muscle cramps, etc. I have been taking both Mg Glycinate while maintaining my balanced physical activity and I have not had cramps for over a year now. You have an excellent way to present all your topics with a lot of well-researched and fact-based health advise
Magnesium Glycinate! I hear you loud and clear.
Thanks!
Dr. Berry has a heart of a teacher!!! I thank God for him. I'm so grateful for his time & knowledge.
He should be teaching medical students.
ABSOLUTELY FOR SURE🌸🌸🌸
I am baffled by people. There are 382 'thumbs down'. Dr. Berry has provided helpful health information. What's to not like?
Maybe their lives are being dictated by pharmaceuticals.. pray for them..🙏 I mean no harm.. I’m serious. Pharmaceuticals have destructive side effects
Thats less than 2% 👎. Who cares!
Some folks have nothing better to do than troll social media. Don't let it bother you. That's their mission.
Some people you just can’t reach
Don’t let it steal your peace. You can’t please all the people all of the time.
I used to suffer with A fib and incidents of tachycardia. My cardiologist had me on metaprolol for a while, but I could barely function. I began to research and learned of the heart's need for electrolytes among myriad other bodily functions. The rest is history. May God bless you Dr. Berry. You are truly saving lives and building health.
Since using Magnesium, I have NO night muscle cramps anymore. This came to memory one morning after waking up. Something my mother used for years. What you say right here has worked for me!
I have Benign Fasciculation Syndrome. My neurologist never told magnesium may help. Now I'm about 50% better.
I have never had one Doctor in my 62 years ever suggest a supplement of any kind. Thank you for the information Dr. Berry.
Because most doctors are only taught to suppress symptoms of disease by prescribing medications that never intend to cure anything.
What's worse is that many of these medications have dangerous side effects and can become addictive. The pharamcutecal companies who provide these meds line their pockets with the suffering of millions.
In ancient times Man looked to nutrition and natural cures to eliminate disease.
Now doctors are nothing more than drug dealers with a license to push poison on the population.
Of course they are bought & paid for by big Pharma.
But they'll write you a script in a heartbeat for anything from big Pharma, they don't make money from healthy people.
B12 is very important too
I had a urologist recommend a low dose of quercetin for prostitis once. Other than that, I agree completely.
My symptoms all point towards magnesium deficiency. Numbness, muscle cramps, low energy, high parathyroid hormone ect. My doctor checked my magnesium levels and said it was normal. I just started taking a supplement and good results were almost instant.
I had heart arrhythmia in my 20's and that stopped when I started taking magnesium. In fact (I wish I knew sooner) that I was deficient in electrolytes and other minerals because I skateboarded and lost a lot of minerals through sweat. Also unknowingly I was into keto long before it was mainstream knowledge, back in the 90's and early 2000's I would eat 1-2 meals a day and when in ketosis we lose more minerals. Things I wish I knew 20 years ago!
I started taking Mg for leg cramps and lo and behold my intermittent heart arrhythmia was helped greatly. Glad to know it was not in my head.
I am a healthcare professional too. CT tech working in a free-standing ER.
@@skjdave Mg helped me get rid of severe calf cramps, which have plagued me for 50 years. I take 200 to 400 mg/day.
Nice to see a doctor that actually has nutritional education! Thank you
We really really need more doctors like you... you know your stuff very well. I've been to several doctors and they can't seem to figure out what's wrong with me and whatever I'm dealing with keeps me from doing everyday activities
Very true I walk in my job over 8 mls day. My doctor said didn’t need magnesium but I kept cramping and legs hurting from continual walking.. started magnesium felt better. ❤️😊
Holy cow. I’ve been diagnosed with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (high heart rate) and small fiber neuropathy (numbness and tingling in my hands and feet). I’m going to try a magnesium supplement.
How did it go for you ? 🙏🏻
Hello... Did Mg supplements help?
I have pots and small fiber nutopathy too
Thank you Dr...I've been to drs and finally after two visits to emergency..was told I had taci cardia..went back to my dr.and she didn't explain anything..more meds..didn't help...found you and realized I had severe deficiency in magnesium...thank you ..my heart thanks you..I'm not crazy
I’ve been taking metoprolol morning and night along with losartan. Started taking a mag supplement about 2 months ago. Started having dizziness to the the point of almost passing out a few times. Started checking BP and heart rate several times a day. Heart rate was getting too low 44-47 bpm and BP 95-100 over 60-65. Started cutting my metoprolol in half and stopped taking losartan. My heart rate is now staying 60-70 bpm and BP 115-125 over 75-85. Feeling 100% better and sleeping much better.
Thank you so much for the comment! I also take metoprolol and I was wondering about this. I would like to continue adjusting my diet so that I can stop taking it. So far I have reduced it to (1) 25 mg pill once a day from (2) 25 mg pills twice a day . I also take warfarin because of a prosthetic valve, but other than that no other medications. I have already required my cardiologist to prescribe my warfarin to adjust to the vitamin K that I refuse to give up. One truly needs to become almost their own functional nutritionalist to be healthy these days and to not be afraid to talk to their doctors and search for doctors that will listen and work with you .
Wow! I'm impressed!
Dang! I'm on metoprolol one half twice a day. Suddenly started having fast heart racing two weeks ago. It just started all of the sudden and they are trying to say I just have an irregular heart beat. But this just suddenly started and I'm dependent on meds for life now? Like man..
I have PCOS, and suffered from amenorrhea (no period) and was told magnesium deficiency can cause your hormones out of wack, so I started taking magnesium malate(400mg) (one year ago) and within four weeks, I had a cycle and have had one every 32 days since. Seriously, this helped me so much!
It’s literally the only thing I’ve ever noticed to make a difference other than diet changes when it comes to my PCOS symptoms.
Hi, can you share what brand you use of magesium
Look for videos on IMF and keto to learn about how to lower your insulin resistance. Sugars and insulin resistance can be a cause of PCOS! You may realize you've been consuming way too many carbs and especially sugar, possibly hidden in your foods as HFCS (high fructose corn sugar) which is no longer required to be shown on the label as anything but 'sugar', yet is much harder on the liver, blood vessels and tissues including the ovaries. Hence, PCOS.
Thank you. Magnesium malate! Awesome.
@@bronischterk9576 try cotsco
I was having cramps in my thighs that were so painful, I had considered going to the hospital. Since taking magnesium that is much better.
I suffered terribly from extremely painful calf cramps for 50 yrs. Two yrs ago I started taking Mg tablets and I have been cramp free for the past 2 yrs.
Exactly. Also make sure you drinking ample water and limit dark drinks (which really adversely affect woman...especially fair skinned women).
@@redhedhik-chik2510 No way I'm cutting out my Guinness Extra Stout.
But I love cool, pure well water before noon!
@@redhedhik-chik2510 What is a "dark" drink
The cramps in my thighs have been keeping me awake. I tried stretching but that was a temporary fix. Last night I took a magnesium supplement and had NO thigh or calf pain
I used to get horrendous cramp in my feet and calves along with unbearable restless legs almost every night but these stopped completely once I started taking magnesium. It is actually quite difficult to get what you need from your food nowadays as our soils have become so depleted of not just magnesium but also many minerals essential for our body. This is what happens when you rely on monocultures instead of the good old fashioned crop rotations. Our crop production has gone up. However, the nutritional value has gone down.
Fantastic. Also drink lots of water
I ma homoeopathic physician my 70 year old mother suffering from from chronic insomnia I started to give her Biochemic salts of magnesium phosphoricum 6x
and within few days her insomnia got better within few days and she is still sleeping Very well know she never complain about her sleep in fact she sleep earlier than any one in my family of 9 person I totally agree with Doctor
U can buy Mag phos 6x potency from any homoeopathic shop it's very natural version
my leg cramps improved too
I like the way you think!

Excellent info
If all the books in your office were not enough to show how diligent and passionate you and Nisha are in always learning as much about everything always, one has only to listen to the degree of details you can sooo fluidly discuss from the top of your head. Thank you you two!!!
How is it that an honest to goodness medical doctor knows so much about nutrition?! Most Doctors don't know diddly squat about nutrition. It is so refreshing to listen to you give information to people that can help them. Food is Medicine- It's too bad modern medical schools don't follow Hippocrates advice about this. After all isn't he the Father of modern medicine? Great job-keep it up.I started taking magnesium supplements months ago when I learned that most people with Fibromyalgia are deficient. I've started on the Keto diet as one of my friends on it says that all her aches and pains have gone away. When I've gone off the reservation and eaten sugar I can really tell in my pain level! Sugar addiction is hard to break, but I just get back on the diet and keep trying. Stubbornness can be a good thing when you refuse to give up.
"After all isn't he the Father of modern medicine? " The sort the likes of the Queen gets, or the sort we can get with either no money or lots of money? City of London (seperate state to the UK) still has a 'worshipful company of' apothocaries. I believe.
I agree with you.
Donna Shelton well I guess I better get on that keto diet
That's because they spend one semester on nutrition and the rest upon everything else and as a another commenter said it is controlled by big Pharma
Donna Shelton he is amazing.
I was suffering from VERTIGO my Dr recommended magnesium supplement 500 mg and it worked Vertigo is gone.
My doctor flat out agrees with you 100% he actually gave me this whole argument and he said I had a magnesium deficiency which is why I was displaying a fast irregular heartbeat. Muscle Twitching,longer recovery time via gym,insomnia hypertension. He put me on pedialyte sport He explained that magnesium and potassium deficiencies affect your ATP. He said the exact same thing you did we are highly deficient and magnesium in our food magnesium is associated with heart distress and he argues that potassium and magnesium could be the main factor for why women have the highest heart disease rate. Even though my blood levels came back normal he said the symptoms do not lie he put me on my regiment the symptoms went away. I know someone's probably gonna say this in the Comments and the comments are gonna be well I'm plant based.. I am too and I still had a magnesium and potassium deficiency.
We SW
I like what you've said here. Your doctor recognizes that his/her patients may have unique needs that require higher- or lower- nutritional levels of any given vitamin or mineral. We don't all react the same to medications, either!
Plant based means you’re MORE apt to be deficient lol
Minerals are very hard for ppl to absorb from plants AND the souls are depleted on top of that.
Take the quality mag capsules nightly! (don’t drink the crappy sourced minerals in sugar syrup, chemical dye free or not)
And get a RBC mag lab, not serum mag lab. That wil show if there’s an actual deficiency
Wow!
Why form of magnesium did you use and how much
My son has many of the symptoms described. I have always taken magnesium but I never thought a very active 17 year old may need it also. Glad I watched this video.
Just about every symptom you mentioned is what I’m dealing with. Just went to the walk in clinic yesterday for severe puns and needles in my fingertips and toes. Everything but my D levels were in the “normal range”. Your average doctor doesn’t know what you know. They’re very one dimensional and stick with what they’ve learned in class rooms and books. It’s sad. Thank you so much Dr Berry!🌸
After this year of COVID resulting in researchers discovering that the easy to access and inexpensive Vit D ... has had an amazing impact on people's immune system and its ability to fend off the ravages of COVID much better than in people with LOW D levels. Now more research is discovering that it appears that VIT D also plays a critical role people developing autoimmune diseases if they are low ... and benefiting if they have higher levels.
I have had a nasty autoimmune disorder for many years, one that was associated with people who lived in northern climates - but no one knew WHY? Well it appears that low levels of VIT D is a factor ... It is amazing what has been discovered about its amazing benefits ... plus it is very inexpensive and easily accessible ..... ALL THINGS BIG PHARMA HATES - an amazingly beneficial substance that they cannot cash in on.
It is terrifying to think of all the inexpensive and easy ways people can improve their health - that is being discouraged by BIG PHARMA and their influence on our entire health care system, including doctors being bombarded by Pharm Reps spinning tales of how their extremely expensive DRUGS are 'the only alternatives' to treating patients ... while plying Docs with incentives and perks to "push their drugs' instead of cheaper and better alternatives.
Check your b12 levels also Vit D and folate..
I'm 74 and taken alot of victims from A to Z for 50 yrs including Magnesium ! Covid hates Zinc & Vitamin D
Severe puns? I have that! Lol
Get a SPECTRACELL TEST, which covers everything and doesn't have stupidly low ranges that are supposedly "normal". "Satisfactory" lab values for vit D3 are from a really low 30 to a high of 100. You actually want to be in the upper quintile from 75 to 95, which is where all the optimum stuff happens. Do you want to fight cancer and all disease with a big fist or do you want to shake hands with it?
You literally just described what has been plaguing me for 30 years! (Headed out the door to get some magnesium now!)
Very informative and has answered some questions I had been pondering.
That was an excellent description and explanation about magnesium. I needed to hear that.thank you Dr Berry
I can attest to the heart palpitations part. I developed severe heart palpitations back in 2007 and went to several Dr's who said it's normal and not to worry about. NOT ONE suggested that I may be Mg deficient. I didn't know anything until about a year ago when I was researching something else and came across an article about A-fib. Someone in the comment section wrote that if you have A-fib you should be taking Mg. I said hey, what the heck. It couldn't hurt. LO AND BEHOLD it pretty much took them completely away!!! I still have bouts every now and then but nothing like before. For 10 freakin' years I lived with this and all it was, was low Mg. I swear doctors are useless!!!!
I had significant heart palpitations for many years ... twice I was diagnosed by Cardiologists and neither one of them EVER MENTIONED anything as a solution or asked any questions - I was just told I had tachycardia and sent on my way.
NOTE: This was in the pre-internet era when the average person had no real access to health information - which allowed too many doctors to play god with people's lives, and go unchallenged.
Later on, as I grew older and wiser, I became infuriated that the 2 times my palpitations were the worse, occurred about 6 to 12 hrs AFTER I had consumed more caffeinated coffee than usual - and in the evening.
What made me so angry - was that neither Cardiologist ever even asked me how much caffeine I ingested - which should be "DUH 101" - they should ask EVERY PATIENT that is being seen for heart palpitations and fast heart beat. The only reason I had not drawn that very logical conclusion - was because my fast heartbeat occurred about 6+ hours after consuming my higher than usual caffeine intake the previous evening - but that is exactly what happened to make my heart rate speed up - so I simply lowered my caffeine intake - and BINGO - my palpitations virtually disappeared.
Now, with access to these videos online ... and SO MUCH INFORMATION about all the problems that can be easily treated with simple supplements or diet changes ... is both exhilarating - and infuriating - considering how many 'millions' of people have needlessly suffered from problems, that can be so EASILY 'fixed' with simple supplements or diet changes - that are to this day NEVER mentioned or addressed by the MAJORITY of Physicians we have all wasted a lot of precious time and money visiting!
Looks like BIG PHARMA has had a lot of influence over Doctor's medical advice.
After all, if it weren't for the Pandemic ...
and all the research on into it - we likely never would have known about how absolutely CRITICAL Vit D is to our overall health and immunity. Makes one wonder how many lives could have been spared, if from the onset everyone bolstered their immune systems with the very powerful Vit D ... very inexpensive and easily accessed ... the very things BIG PHARMA hates.
Same here,
Yes they are. This “pandemic” proved how worthless they are!
@@ridgebriar17 Wow. Your story is a good one. So happy you found a solution. Just recent due to stress and anxiety my palpitations started. I take magnesium but not daily. I think I should start a new routine. But also what seems to be helping is taking care of my gut health. Overall, keep inflammation down and all will be ok. 👌🏾💪🏾
God bless people in the comments that share great information! Often better information than you might get from a doctor.
Wow, I’ve been complaining of several of the signs you mentioned for a while now. With insomnia being the most recent. Was just googling the correlation with keto and insomnia as I just started having it within weeks of starting a keto diet. This video made it clear I have a magnesium deficiency. Will definitely order the supplement you recommended. Thanks so much for sharing this info!
Thank you!!! I was having heart palpitations , anxiety attacks and cramps in my hands etc… I started taking magnesium and those symptoms went away! Your.a God send.. keep up the good work!❤️ God bless you
Thank you for that wonderful explanation. so clear and easy to understand
This is by FAR the best video on magnesium deficiency on TH-cam. You answered all my questions! Other popular docs on TH-cam are falling short. Love your content. Subscribed 🙏🏻
You're the type of Dr many of us WISH we had...
Could you PLEASE discuss osteopenia osteoporosis?!?!?!
I wish I could find a doctor Ken where I live. I don't trust doctors I always end up with doctors with God complexes and we butt heads and I leave frustrated with prescriptions that I won't take.
@@KCCAT5 It's truth!
@@KCCAT5 So do I and lately the whole sham makes me very angry. from life long RN
Be sure and take a Vitamin D supplement. We are always told to take calcium but D is more important. Weight bearing exercise too
Thanks Dr Berry, my doctor put me on mag-oxide 400mg, one daily but didn’t tell me to take at night. I started taking daily @ 10 am and I started taking a afternoon nap. I never before in my life almost 70, needed a daily nap. Wow, now I will start taking it one hour before bedtime! Sharing this with friends and family!
Magnesium oxide is the cheapest and the worse type of the Magnesium. Change into the others please.
Do your research...search best forms of magnesium. Oxide is one of worst.
Why is it bad???
@@Sabbathissaturday it's not bad, it's just has less rate of absorption, however there is more magnesium in Magnesium oxide than other types of magnesium compounds, so their higher absorption rate defeated by the fact that there 6 not much magnesium in them.
However if magnesium gives people the runs, they should try, other types like glycinate.
I am so out of words seeing the solution to problems that made me feel less than and abnormal for years in a tiny pill that I happened upon accidentally. Insomnia, constipation and incapacitating painful irregular heartbeat have reduced me to living far below my potentials. This revelation is one of the greatest miracles of my life! God is beyond wonderful 😥😥😥✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Excellent discussion Dr. Berry, thank you.
I really appreciate how short but very informative your videos are - THANK YOU!
Definitely shared this one! I was magnesium deficient for years and didn’t even know. My levels showed normal like you said but I had heart palpitations (checked out and shown to be nothing serious), chronic insomnia (for 7+ years with no help from my doctors) and severe foot cramps. I started magnesium glycinate and a little magnesium calm before bed and those issues are resolved about 98% (insomnia still gets me every so often). I am so happy to have learned about this!
Carrie Wright Hi Carrie, can you tell me how fast did you feel the results of taking Magnesium?
Carrie Wright I was beginning to have problems with cramps in my feet and upper thigh at night last year, also always had a fast heart rate and at times palpitations. Never knew magnesium would help. I'm gonna get a supplement to see if this helps me as well. And I too have insomnia at times never connected all of these symptoms together!
Within 2-3 days for about 98% relief like I said. My feet might feel like they're going to cramp a bit but then they don't and before they were debilitating cramps and the insomnia; sleeping most of the time is better than only 4 hours EVERY night.
Me neither! It's worth a shot. The straight magnesium in Walmart didn't work for me, just FYI. I've heard Citrate is good for diarrhea so I've stayed away from that lol and I went with a chelated Glycinate to be easier on my stomach since it can cause issues. It's been wonderful.
Carrie Wright I just went online and found some to order. I usually order most of my supplements online from Swanson vitamins. My feet would cramp so bad at night it would wake me up. I felt like Pinocchio... lol
Good information. Thanks!
Dr Ken....YOU ROCK!! MAJORLY! Thank you for all the fantastic information you are feeding us on the web. My family appreciates you very much!
Magnesium supplements have changed my life. Seems like such a simple, cheap thing that shouldn't have a massive effect but... it does. If you don't eat a lot of dark greens, nuts or avocados... You. Need. Magnesium. Can't hurt to try... changed me in a day after many years of problems.
I Relate MUCH to this! Stephen, will U tell me your symptoms of low magnesium?? I'm in a bad way.
@@tonigrisham It was mainly brain fog and low energy.
Can anybody recommend which magnesium supplement to buy?
If a doctor can't cut it out or drug it out, they can't figure it out.
Thank you so much for this? A righteous, loving heart motivates caring for others without expecting anything in
return! Love and blessings to you!!!
Wow every thing you’ve said is bang on ….. thank you .. defo subscribing
VERY helpful, thank you!
I just started taking magnesium and I hope it helps with my low energy and muscle cramps. I’m also on day 2 of keto. Love watching your videos.
Thanks Dr. Ken, very informative talk - I subscribed today - keep 'em coming !
Excellent. Thanks
Very good information! I will send this out to others. Thanks!
Family history heart issues, I was having afib, took magnesium, no more problems! Much later in life I was pregnant, dire, debilitating morning sickness, I wasn’t taking magnesium! Now I take it religiously! I am trying to get the son I was carrying at this time to take magnesium! Thank you! I sent him this video!
I commend you Dr. Berry for taking natural lifestyle choices as being of importance. Most don’t take the time to educate themselves in wholistic living as it’s so much easier to discount the general public as caring enough about themselves to make the changes needed. At 37 close to death I cared. At 46 currently I’m in the best shape of my life, why? Because my cardiologist sent me to a wholistic life coach. Now my life is a journey of educating myself as well as others to eat properly and respect the importance of what we eat, what we do activity wise and how we think. Keep the videos coming because I definitely enjoy them and share them often. 💪🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Yeah, always great advice in presentation that's well researched and, delivered with confidence...Bravo!
I didn't realize I was magnesium deficient until I started taking frequent Epsom salt baths, which for those who don't know, allows you to absorb magnesium through your largest organ, your skin. The difference is like night and day and it leaves your skin feeling fantastic. No more bumpy skin! Over the last few years I have had all of these symptoms and more: eye twitching, migraines, anxiety and depression, extreme fatigue, thrombosis and heart palpitations and loss of bone density. After only a few baths, my shoulder, which hurt so bad I could not raise my arm for months without severe pain, improved enough that I could start doing yoga poses again. The improvement in my overall health is so amazing I literally feel like I have a new life!
research says your body doesnt absorb that way and its a scam
Laura Baxter I had to leave a comment thank you Laura for your comment I like yourself have found Magnesium to be detrimental to overall health I clearly see the difference I suffered tremendous back pain and a couple days ago I started doing Yoga thanks to TH-cam like you I feel like a bran new person ♡ for the 2 guys that left a comment first off I have been doing research on magnesium for a year and you don't know what the hell your talking about it's not a scam...and Yoga is to improve flexibility and overall health...its also about strength and balance the fact you would think it's demonic it BEYOND stupid if that's where your mind takes you that sounds like a personal issue..
Lisa Carey Actually, there's more to yoga than what you realize. Search out its origins, and don't be so quick to dismiss things other people might be more aware of. None of us knows everything. If you research yoga and still want to do it, then that's up to you. But at least you'll know. And I'm not commenting about magnesium, only about the practice of yoga. Plus I'm a female, and not a guy like the other two that commented.
@@lisacarey856 Thanks for the support. I agree with you, it seems ridiculous to say Yoga is demonic but researched it anyway and still disagree. I'm not one of those people who want to stack everything in life into a good vs evil category. The breath work alone in yoga is 100% worth it and completely beneficial. I think what people are afraid of is the possibility of kundalini awakening (activating the body's chakras) because that can cause problems depending on the persons awareness, state of mind, and how much fear they have stored up in the body. I would go further and say, the only people who have "demonic" possession as a result of yoga, are the people who believe in such things.
@Henry Stoneking where in hell, well I guess that's where you came up with such a ridiculously ignorant view of yoga. This statement is to backwards to even give it any more of my time. Some people's choice to be ignorant amaze me and then they try to share such ignorance. wow! Research before you open your mouth would be a wise thing to do
Here's a big one.... for anyone that suffers from epilepsy - Taking magnesium is a must! Less seizures or in some known cases has stopped them completely. Research magnesium and seizures.
Love this video, Dr. Berry!! You’re super!! Keep up the great work!!
This real AWESOME information!!!
This is EXACTLY what I needed to hear today. Thank you.
Magnesium L- threonate only one that actually crosses the blood brain barrier. Has helped my anxiety tremendously
Thanks !bless u -is it still helping ?
The same for me!! I use to have crippling night time anxiety that would keep myself and my husband up to all hours of the night. Within a few days of starting a magnesium supplement my anxiety was almost completely eradicated. It has made a world of difference for me.
ReMag is another amazing magnesium that crosses the blood brain barrier! I use it everyday and it has worked wonders for me!
How about pumpkin seeds? Are they good enough?
@@jennifernicole4773 What brand do you use, please? I want to look it up and buy it on-line. And as you know, some laboratories are better than others in putting out quality supplements. Thank you in advance for your time!😊
I used to get ventricular tachycardia attacks few times a week some 11 years ago. My heart rate would go very high, I'd feel lightheaded and faint. My doctor didn't know what to do with it. I asked him if I should take magnesium supplements. I heard back then that magnesium could be helpful. The doctor said it wouldn't do anything and sent me to see a cardiologist instead. By the time I saw the cardiologist, I have been taking magnesium supplements for weeks at that point. My heart was fine and didn't have an episode in 11 years. Magnesium rules.
May i know what type of Mg u consumed prior to cardio visit?is it Mg Citrate or Mg Glycinate...much appreciated for the reply
This is really good to see. Great work. Really. Fantastic. This has been a big subject for me for a while now.
I've been taking magnesium for a couple months. Solved my life long constipation and deep sleeping like never before! Started a calcium supplement and it stopped all the good magnesium effects. Back to only magnesium
Keep up the great work Dr. Berry!
Very good advise.
Very informative. Thanks!
leg cramps have bothered me for 4 decades. This is great info. Thank you
CONGRATS ON 200K SUBSCRIBERS!!! KEEP IT UP, DOC!!!
Very very good information and detailed
Thank you for the information
Very helpful video. Thanks doctor for sharing this information. I wish all doctors had this much knowledge and treat the patients accordingly. Once again thank you so much doc. Keep up the good work. God bless!
I'm a general contractor who works long days on my feet up and down and started getting tremendous leg cramps in the middle of the night. Started taking Magnesium Malate and no more leg cramps. Other cheaper varieties of Magnesium did not work for me tho.Great video BTW.
Magnesium rich foods
Something similar just happened to me. I had been taking a less effective form of Magnesium that seemed to work quite well for many years in eliminating assorted aches and pains. However, suddenly after twisting my leg - and subsequently hobbled by severe pain up and down that leg to the point it was torture due to bizarrely powerful and excruciating leg cramps.
I was already taking Magnesium Oxide and Potassium rich foods and supplements when this happened - but everyday my pain and muscle spasms greatly limited what I could do. Coincidently - I had just ordered Magnesium Malate online - because of all the negative things I had hear about the Oxide version ... and it arrived about 11 days after the onset of this massive pain. I immediately took the Malate in the evening, after eating ... and at first I saw no improvement, in fact my pain actually got worse a few hours later - leaving me discouraged and befuddled .....
HOWEVER ... to my shock the next morning, I was pain free!! I assumed my contractions would return after a few hours of moving around like they had the previous 11 days - BUT to my utter delight and surprise after a full day - and actively moving around the house - the PAIN NEVER returned ....and the ONLY difference was - switching to MAGNESIUM MALATE!!
I did some research that stated it could take up to 48 hrs to be absorbed, which would explain my initial pain.
I am on Day 2 of Magnesium Malate now,
and still feeling good - after 11 DAYS OF PURE TORTUROUS PAIN AND CRAMPS ...that was literally disabling no matter what I tried and Pain relievers had only made a small temporary improvement. FYI -Today I only took a half dose to see how well a smaller dosage worked - and I am still Pain-Free and back to normal.
Amazing informative input .as always thanks for uploading ♥️♥️.
Nice balanced presentation, thanks!
You are so smart and kind to take the time to explain all of this thankyou
It straightened out my long term constipation problems due to medication. I poop like I did when I was in my youth! Also fully evacuate. I don't feel like I left the job unfinished. ..huge thumbs up on this one!
Very helpful. Every last sentence.
Great help!
I am so happy I found your channel it's difficult to find many doctors who know the truth and are willing to tell it instead of pushing the big Pharma agenda. I had a doctor who knew a lot and believed in natural medicine but he retired. You have even more knowledge and new information that I really need at this time. Thank you so much
Thank u so much ,doctor , for your kind concern and keeping us informed. I thank God that there are good people like u still around to keep humanity on its toes.
Thank you, Dr. Berry for the thorough explanation! I wish I'd known about this when I was pregnant (twice) as I suffered severe morning sickness, would wake up in the middle of the night with leg cramps, and was constipated.
I have nerve damage due to a motorcycle accident in 2018. During that time, I had to have multiple blood transfusion and in hospital for three month's. Ever since then I've had magnesium deficiency and my feet will sometimes cramp up in the middle of a walk. This is a great reminder to make sure to take my supplements, especially after learning that it effects more than just my feet. Thank you! 💖
Thanks Dr for this incredible information. Is Slow Magnesium also good support?
I am normally not easily impressed, but this impressed me. Thank you, Sir!
Was in a car accident a few years ago, had to have many operation to my arm and hand. Lots of nerve damage was done. My VA doctor told me right away to start taking Mg to help my body rebuild and help my nerves. Also had trouble sleeping even after I got on breathing machine, the VA doctor recommended Mg before I went to bed. So now I am taking 250 mg supplement and at 73 I am doing just fine. Must say you did mention all good points for people to feel better and have good health. Keep up the good videos.
Video was very informative, thank you.
Great information here! Very overlooked
Dr Berry, can you tell me how fast do you feel it works? Thank you for another great Video!
