SOOO confusing! Am a couple weeks into beginning Keto (and no cheating) and have most of these symtoms EXCEPT constipation! I have diarrea! So if I take more magnesium, that will make my stools pure liquid! (and yes, I have upped my potassium to around 6,000mg a day by crushing tablets in to powder)
I have all of these symptoms, but I am also iron and vitamin D deficient which sometimes share these symptoms. Idk if I should request a magnesium blood test or supplement on muself
As a hospital based physician, I’m always ridiculed for being the “Mag Man” because the acutely ill are usually severely deficient in Mag, and phosphorus as well (get made fun of for that too). And that’s only because I bother to even check intravascular levels, knowing full well the complex nature of intracellular mechanisms. The refractory nature of insulin insensitivity, myocardial irritability, weakness, fatigue, medication effects, neurologic disease including seizures, migraines, etc are acutely important to address and prevent as well as other daily and chronic assessments and treatments. Right on!
Great to kno ther are doctors like you who dont just prescribe and care as well as kno that these things are big issues I bet you recommend eating whole foods and excercise
Danny C.hannel Yes. We are built to move...just from a biomechanical vantage point our limbs attached to a core that stabilizes for a variety of motion. It’s also important to understand the effects of not moving and Osteopathic Manipulative / NeuroMusculoSkeletal Medicine (OMM/NMM) and Advanced Biostructural Correction (ABC) are important on a very complex neural integration level to organize physiological responses that use these supplements and other dietary support plans for full health. I take care of acute worsening and the end results of dysfunctions of that and am forced to contemplate about why and how. Most don’t use the time they have to reflect but we need to. Thanks for your kind words
I am a physician/surgeon and I love listening to your videos. I can testify to my own magnesium deficiency: sleeplessness, muscle weakness, heart palpitations, hypertension (on meds), stress issues. Adding a high quality absorbable magnesium supplement along with juicing high Mg and K fruits/vegetables has made for huge improvements in my symptoms. If I go a few days without these, symptoms start to return. I now preach this to my patients. Wish medical schools would spend more time on nutrition. I am also a huge fan of liposomal vitamin C. Keep the videos coming.
I am surprised how doctors and surgeons don’t tell you these things or they don’t know🤷🏾♀️I have up coming surgery and was told to take vitamin D due to deficiency, sorry I didn’t do my research earlier before I start taking the supplement. I had to research and found out all by myself that vitamin D works hand in hand with magnesium. Why no one told me this? My primary did EKG and said my pulse was 112 bpm and asking me what’s going on? guess what he recommended? metoprolol!!! mind you my blood pressure is 117/79, why would you put me on that drug with normal blood pressure readings and not mention magnesium?? it’s sad.... I can’t put my faith in you all. Updated: since taking magnesium my heart rate been around 80 bpm, glad I did not take metroprolol🙌 Guys DONT be quick to take these drugs if it is not necessary
We wish med schools would spend more time on nutrition too but big pharma and it's potions have too much power in the medical field. DO's (Osteopaths) and Chiropractors are better sources for nutrition-care than most GP's. Your interest in nutrition is good for you and your patients 👍
Omg!! I prayed about my symptoms, and this video popped up on my messages. I'm literally crying right now. I can't THANK YOU ENOUGH. Thank you soooooo much for this Video. You saved my Life. You are my new Bestfriend on TH-cam.
Targon Labasco is that your reply to someone who found their answer I’d say it’s jealousy or just purely a hatred for religion and universal alignments
@Targon Labasco man you are one mean person. I'd be happy to if someone made a video that helped my health. Its a cruel world out there and Its hard getting the help you need with health issue's. Its hard trusting medical Drs who only peddle their drugs and run useless testsnot all the time but most of the time. You shouldn't be so quick to judge you could find yourself in the same situation one day.
I had heart arrhythmias AKA skipping beats, I could barely get up in the morning because of my joints and muscles had pains and were weak, I was severely bloated and swelled with fluid, I was stressed and had cramps. Then one day I had a twitch in my eye that wouldn't go away. Knowing about health food since the 70s I decided to look up the symptom and found it was magnesium. I bought some magnesium citrate powder at Walmart and took a heaping teaspoon everyday for a month. All the swelling left me because I was urinating like unbelievable. No more heart skipping beats and my blood pressure went down to normal. When I woke up I would leap up out of bed and had energy like I hadn't in years. As soon as I get more money I'm going to buy more supplements and I'm going to be one of the healthiest 60-year-old men around. Thank you for this video and keep continuing to inform people that want to know how to be healthy.
Honestly, I’ve been taking magnesium supplements for a few months and I’ve been able to deal with stress, sleep well/faster/longer. And I also noticed I’m genuinely more “relaxed” in my everyday life. Love it
@@sardeystallings0123 I don't think it matters. But do look into which supplements can be taken together. Magnesium and Calcium need to be taken at different times, they cancel each other out otherwise. It's a really tricky balance with a lot of these things. Example, zinc works a lot better if taken with vitamin C :) I leaned ALL of this through researching on my own. Being your own advocate is the only way to go these days.
After 10 years someone finally explained why I have these symptoms . I knew my magnesium gets low but I did not know these other symptoms we're related to that. Thank you Thomas DeLaurer.
NEUROLOGICAL CONNECTION: Recently diagnosed with severe magnesium deficiency. Yes, orthostatic BP issues, low Vit D, sleeplessness, muscle and joint problems. The one symptom that I haven't seen here is severe neurological problems. Oh my God it was a aweful feeling no doctor ever checked my magnesium. All the neurologists would look at me and shake their heads. I went to the ER they gave me tablets for vertigo and sent me home. Went to a new doctor last Monday, he was alarmed by the low mag levels, he stated, " I haven't seen MG this low in 30yrs. He gave me 2 bags of magnesium IV immediately and a script MG and Vitamin D. It's been 10 days and I feel amazing, much more energy.
Wow, that is so good to hear! I know how frustrating it is to not get answers from doctors. I was shaking so badly I could barely hold my cell. Dr had no idea what was wrong. Offered a prescription, but I declined. That same day, I took B1 and it immediately stopped. I sent her a message letting her know.
what a fantastic source of information this was. I have been getting some of these symptoms lately cause I finished my magnesium a while ago and have not purchased it yet. Going to get on that today!! Thanks Thomas.
My very fit (cycling, running and windsurfing) husband, who’s resting pulse is around 47-50 had a Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) where his resting pulse went up to 219! And rushed to hospital, they had to use drugs and defibrillate to get his heart to normal rhythm. They discovered his magnesium level was very low and this was the cause of his SVT! Scary!
Your info, and this video in particular has literally given me a proper explanation of why I'm not sleeping cramped up and holding on to water. May your intelligence and good work always be blessed Brother. Be well. Cheers!
I had a severe case of plantar fasciitis. Had it bad for over a year. Tried everything, stretching, ice, massage, pain pills and exercises. Taking magnesium was the only thing that cured it.
I started taking Mg L-Threonate months ago and whoa! What a difference. I'm 64 years old and was experiencing short-term memory loss. You know, like, going into a room and forgetting why I went there. Now, when that happens, I wait a few seconds and it comes to me. Game changer! I also take Mg Glycinate at night or whenever I need to calm down. :) Wonderful video, as always, Thomas!
You are incredible. I am a biochemist and therefore am able to appreciate every word and thought and the science of it. Keep it going as you are an inspiration
@@buckie48192 its dumb cuz people only pay attention to losing weight in pounds, they dont consider what kind of weight loss they are getting, muscle or fat? all people wanna see is the scale change, but dont pay mind to whats happening to their body
Now that we are all isolating and working from home, I actually have time to review a lot of your videos. All I can say is Thank You! So many of my questions are being answered by the information you are providing. I was not aware of the Vit D/Magnesium "partnership".
Hi Thomas, I realized having a lack of magnesium gave me migraines. My migraine/headache lasted for about 11 days. Then, I found out that lack of magnesium was linked to it. I increased my magnesium intake and I haven’t had a migraine since then. 😰
Thank you. My wife died almost 5 years ago. I was desperately trying to understand how to deal with her vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Her potassium was always low. She had a kidney transplant a few years ago and was now again on dialysis at home. The kidney doctors were good to her, buy no doctor had a good insight to how to deal with her nutrient deficiencies regardless of what kind of doctor they were. There are a couple of other guys who have good understanding - Dr Joel Wallach & Pharmacist Ben Fuchs. You are wonderful for sharing what you know. My wife had IBS which in the medical community means "They don't know what to do." Anyway, thank you.
MATT, THANK YOU SOOOO MUCHfor this vid, which has some CRITICAL info I never heard before!!! I will keep this one in my " review regularly to ALWAYS assess for this content" folder.
No way??!!! I’ve been experiencing lack of sleep and fatigue for two weeks (I’m on 12th week on keto). I couldn’t pin point why to fix it. Thank you 🙏!
I had so many symptoms of low magnesium for the past few years. Fatigue, muscle cramps, weakness, trouble sleeping, heart palpitations, migraines, constipation, trouble managing blood pressure, nausea and loss of appetite. My primary care physician attributed the symptoms to perimenopause, deconditioning, and poor lifestyle habits. But none of the changes she suggested helped much. Last month I had to go to the ER for elevated heart rate and heart palpitations that wouldn't stop, and one of the first things they did was to check my magnesium. It was very low. They gave me IV magnesium in the ER and admitted me for some further testing and observation and gave me more IV magnesium while I was there, then suggested that I start taking a magnesium supplement when I was discharged. I'm starting to feel an improvement. My heart palpitations are happening less often, blood pressure is more stable, and migraines are less severe and happening less often. I haven't seen much improvement in the other symptoms yet, but I've only been taking the supplements for a few weeks.
@Iamkpeezy99 - I haven't had any more arrhythmia issues, and I feel a bit better. I had my magnesium checked recently, and it's up in the normal range now.
1. Leg cramps 2. Sleeplessness 3. Difficulty dealing with stress 4. Weak joints and muscles 5. Muscle weakness 6. High blood pressure 7. Constipation 8. Fatigue Everything but high blood pressure...great! I'll go buy a container of CALM tonight at Wal-Mart and hopefully feel better in a couple of days! Thanks for the video 😃
Theresa Pascoal It’s the most absorbable is what I’ve read... why take something that doesn’t absorb well? He said not to take massive amounts or you’ll get lose stool.
Justine DeVoe, it’s not recommended because it interferes with the balance of iron and copper. Leading to an excess of iron. There is magnesium glycinate, malate, orotate and threonate that are much better quality. Or the cheaper magnesium chloride.
Thomas, as you tubers go. Because you're so polished , I generally take your videos with a grain of salt no pun intended. But I honestly think this video may have just saved my life. I've been experiencing so much of what you mention. Thank you for your integrity and commitment. I'm a huge fan. Thank you again
Thank you for making this video! I was so concerned when I was getting these symptoms (I am super fit and eat so healthy) so I went to my PCP. She immediately diagnosed me with a mag deficiency. (As well as vitamin D). This is sooo important
I was getting these really annoying eyelid spasms that wouldn't stop for days on end and taking magnesium supplements fixed that for me. As an added benefit, I feel a lot more energetic aswell.
Doc just tested me for low mag. I get the results tomorrow. My biggest symptom is charley horses, like galloping, raging, meat eating, charley horses! But also severe joint pain, and neuropathy related to pinched nerves caused by very tight muscles. Crazy pain! We will see what the test says tomorrow!
Thanks Thomas you have some life changing videos !magnesium has given me back my Pep! I am in my mid fifties 55 to be exact. I love lifting, have been active my whole life but I was feeling achy wanted to skip my workouts (feel like I haven't slept in 10 years. I have been sleeping like a log now since I have added magnesium.This was the best tip! also the collagen been throwing that back to. I'm not sure how to see if that is working.
I have 5 of these signs , I just raised my magnesium vitamin intake today. I’m really thankful for people like you UTUBE. The doctors don’t tell you anything.
I am so glad I found this video, I struggled with all of these and started making lots of changes this year but have still felt something more was going on. Time for more changes.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. I am going to go out tomorrow and buy some magnesium as I have all of those symptoms. I hope they give me some respite from feeling like a bag of rubbish. 🙏
The muscle spasms was the biggest giveaway for me. BTW, it’s common for ppl with celiacs disease to have this problem. Our bodies don’t absorb it from our food like most ppl so a supplement is key. It changed my life! I couldn’t wear high heels (I’m only 4’10 so this sucked) but I can now.
What a lot I have learned!! Just Great, I appreciate the citing of scientific journals, you are delivering on a very high level of information, i'd go ahead and say pedagogy, but you may as well give the volume and issue of the journals cited, its not my field but having a subscription to JSTOR id actually look into some of those articles. You are really taking the internet to a higher level with these presentations. It is people like you who change the world for the better. I, myself have lost 15 lbs. in three weeks and I'm back in the gym. I did that before finding your channel, but you have given me the information in depth that confers the confidence i needed to care on from here and i think you know that's the most important thing.
This video changed my life today. I had my suspicion and you have confirmed it as magnesium deficiency. I also learned today that my long-winded stories tend to bore people so you're off the hook. All I will say is you nailed it and my future, healthier self will be proof. Thank you. Happy New Year from Canada. 🖐🙂
I would like information on which Magnesium supplement to take. There are tons of options on the market but I know the quality of the products vary. Any recommendations?
Great video as usual, I have 4 of the symptoms. Like so many have asked could you list some guidance as to type and dosage?. I hear magnesium complex is preferable.
I can't express how much I'm grateful for all your channel content! Helpful, detailed and technical accuracy on all aspects you present us with. Amazing job Thomas! Please keep it up 👍 All the best from Portugal 🇵🇹 Madeira Island 🏝
@@arbonneladyTN That triggers me some old emotions... Though I was born and brought up in Madeira Island, my late father and his mother were from Azores... specifically from São Miguel island... noble heart people, from a very simple yet nature blessed archipelago of 9 populated Islands. You should do it! specially having Azores roots in the background. Thank you for sharing!
This is a great topic because Americans tend to be short on magnesium. I started taking it years ago and immediately a few things cleared up for me. People would be amazed if they knew how much they need magnesium.
Magnesium is great. The Magnesium lady Dr. Caroline Dean, MD is another good resource for the benefits of Mg. Recently I read a constant eye twitch is due to a lack of B12 in the body. Both Mg & B12 are part of what I take daily.

My primary care physician attributed the symptoms to perimenopause, deconditioning, and poor lifestyle habits. But none of the changes she suggested helped much.
Last month I had to go to the ER for elevated heart rate and heart palpitations that wouldn't stop, and one of the first things they did was to check my magnesium. It was very low. They gave me IV magnesium in the ER and admitted me for some further testing and observation and gave me more IV magnesium while I was there, then suggested that I start taking a magnesium supplement when I was discharged.
I'm starting to feel an improvement. My heart palpitations are happening less often, blood pressure is more stable, and migraines are less severe and happening less often. I haven't seen much improvement in the other symptoms yet, but I've only been taking the supplements for a few weeks.
How are you feeling?
@Iamkpeezy99 - I haven't had any more arrhythmia issues, and I feel a bit better. I had my magnesium checked recently, and it's up in the normal range now.
1. Leg cramps
2. Sleeplessness
3. Difficulty dealing with stress
4. Weak joints and muscles
5. Muscle weakness
6. High blood pressure
7. Constipation
8. Fatigue
Everything but high blood pressure...great! I'll go buy a container of CALM tonight at Wal-Mart and hopefully feel better in a couple of days! Thanks for the video 😃
Make sure you get magnesium citrate...👍
Justine DeVoe, magnesium citrate is one of the worst form of magnesium.
Theresa Pascoal It’s the most absorbable is what I’ve read... why take something that doesn’t absorb well? He said not to take massive amounts or you’ll get lose stool.
Justine DeVoe, it’s not recommended because it interferes with the balance of iron and copper. Leading to an excess of iron. There is magnesium glycinate, malate, orotate and threonate that are much better quality. Or the cheaper magnesium chloride.
@@theresapascoal9904 thanks.I 👍
Wonderful information Doc. Ty
Thomas, as you tubers go. Because you're so polished , I generally take your videos with a grain of salt no pun intended. But I honestly think this video may have just saved my life. I've been experiencing so much of what you mention. Thank you for your integrity and commitment. I'm a huge fan.
Thank you again
Thank you for making this video! I was so concerned when I was getting these symptoms (I am super fit and eat so healthy) so I went to my PCP. She immediately diagnosed me with a mag deficiency. (As well as vitamin D). This is sooo important
How are you now?
I feel they all say vitamin D deficiency when certain things aren’t figured out. Just me 🤔 I want a doctor to go Above and beyond
I was getting these really annoying eyelid spasms that wouldn't stop for days on end and taking magnesium supplements fixed that for me. As an added benefit, I feel a lot more energetic aswell.
What kind of magnesium supplements?
Thomas your great at explaining things! Thanks!
Awsome vídeo its good to hear about other things that are not keto related.
Great video as always! Could you mention magnesium gluconate, as it was not discussed in your 9 kinds of mag video. Thanks!!
Doc just tested me for low mag. I get the results tomorrow. My biggest symptom is charley horses, like galloping, raging, meat eating, charley horses! But also severe joint pain, and neuropathy related to pinched nerves caused by very tight muscles. Crazy pain! We will see what the test says tomorrow!
nice video, i hope you make vid for other vitamins and minerals as well
Thank you so so so so SO much for this! Subscribed
Thanks Thomas you have some life changing videos !magnesium has given me back my Pep! I am in my mid fifties 55 to be exact. I love lifting, have been active my whole life but I was feeling achy wanted to skip my workouts (feel like I haven't slept in 10 years. I have been sleeping like a log now since I have added magnesium.This was the best tip! also the collagen been throwing that back to. I'm not sure how to see if that is working.
WOW 👀 ~ got it.. balance👍🏼💯 my head is spinning but THANK YOU for this breakdown!!
Hey Thomas. Looking sharp my man. Science is so much fun now. Never thought I’d be so interested in it. 🙏🏾 💪🏾🔥✌🏾
Greetings from Malta 🇲🇹 super informative. Thanks for sharing
I wish i would've seen this video years ago, it's amazing how much of a difference vitamins and minerals make.
What’s a good brand of supplements ?
what dose? BID? Thank you for this informative video.
Thanks Thom. With so many new gurus out there I had forgotten what good info you have . So easy to be lead astray !
I love this guy's Channel. Material always comes from authoritative sources. Thanks for the info and uploads always bro
I have 5 of these signs , I just raised my magnesium vitamin intake today. I’m really thankful for people like you UTUBE. The doctors don’t tell you anything.
hmm, what form of magnesium are you taking?
@@fishcrabs7898 I have been asking everyone this too! I'm not sure which one to take or just magnesium in general
@@karenotcaring Google is your friend
@@bushmaster2936 not really Google lies a lot lol
@@bushmaster2936 also I don't wanna take it anymore I've changed my mind
I am so glad I found this video, I struggled with all of these and started making lots of changes this year but have still felt something more was going on. Time for more changes.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. I am going to go out tomorrow and buy some magnesium as I have all of those symptoms. I hope they give me some respite from feeling like a bag of rubbish. 🙏
Which magnesium should one be taking ?
The muscle spasms was the biggest giveaway for me. BTW, it’s common for ppl with celiacs disease to have this problem. Our bodies don’t absorb it from our food like most ppl so a supplement is key. It changed my life! I couldn’t wear high heels (I’m only 4’10 so this sucked) but I can now.
How are you now
Interesting!! I feel like it makes calcium rich foods difficult to process as well... I'm looking to get my Mag via diet
What type of magnesium for spasms?
What a lot I have learned!! Just Great, I appreciate the citing of scientific journals, you are delivering on a very high level of information, i'd go ahead and say pedagogy, but you may as well give the volume and issue of the journals cited, its not my field but having a subscription to JSTOR id actually look into some of those articles. You are really taking the internet to a higher level with these presentations. It is people like you who change the world for the better. I, myself have lost 15 lbs. in three weeks and I'm back in the gym. I did that before finding your channel, but you have given me the information in depth that confers the confidence i needed to care on from here and i think you know that's the most important thing.
Thats what i want to hear, good job man, very detailed. My respect !
This video changed my life today. I had my suspicion and you have confirmed it as magnesium deficiency. I also learned today that my long-winded stories tend to bore people so you're off the hook. All I will say is you nailed it and my future, healthier self will be proof. Thank you. Happy New Year from Canada. 🖐🙂
thanks for sharing your story! Hope you're still getting on magnesium. I just started on it, so far been a life saver!
I'm tempted to buy magnesium but the problem is i have no moneysium.:-(
Rey Pascual I cant stop laughing at your comment.
Hahaha this made my night. Thank you
I got a great magnesium supplement at Walmart and cvs for less than 15.00 each. It’s called Natural Calm.
Funny, but if it’s true you can take Epsom salts baths and absorb it through your skin easy and cheaply.
@@jenedge5579 If you can afford epsom salt then you can afford Walmart magnesium
Thanks for this video. Good info.
Wow! I don’t know why or how this came across my page but I’m currently suffering from all 8 symptoms. Thank you
Which form of magnesium is ideal for blood pressure control?
How long does it take to get your magnesium levels at an optimal level?
You and another I just watched have just saved my life. Thank you both very much.
Super helpful video! Thank you!
Thanks for this video I’m definitely getting me some magnesium for my fatigue:)
You must give blood test for fatigue because some other minerals deficiency also cause fatigue
I would like information on which Magnesium supplement to take. There are tons of options on the market but I know the quality of the products vary. Any recommendations?
very good presentation and info.
I like your videos you hit me with so much information. I am still trying to comprehend all the information.
Great video as usual, I have 4 of the symptoms. Like so many have asked could you list some guidance as to type and dosage?. I hear magnesium complex is preferable.
Thank you very much. A no-nonsense talk full of important health information.
Wonderful! Thank you Thomas! 🙏💪😎
This is great info thank you
I can't express how much I'm grateful for all your channel content! Helpful, detailed and technical accuracy on all aspects you present us with. Amazing job Thomas! Please keep it up 👍 All the best from Portugal 🇵🇹 Madeira Island 🏝
My grandmother (pregnant with my mom) came from the Azores. I would love to visit sometime. Go Portugal 🇵🇹
@@arbonneladyTN That triggers me some old emotions... Though I was born and brought up in Madeira Island, my late father and his mother were from Azores... specifically from São Miguel island... noble heart people, from a very simple yet nature blessed archipelago of 9 populated Islands. You should do it! specially having Azores roots in the background. Thank you for sharing!
This is a great topic because Americans tend to be short on magnesium. I started taking it years ago and immediately a few things cleared up for me. People would be amazed if they knew how much they need magnesium.
very interesting info my man. Well done you make my day. thanks =)
Twitching in the left eye is my first signal. Sleeping better since taking it again.
me too
Magnesium is great. The Magnesium lady Dr. Caroline Dean, MD is another good resource for the benefits of Mg.
Recently I read a constant eye twitch is due to a lack of B12 in the body. Both Mg & B12 are part of what I take daily.
Me too
Which brand you take???
In Australia the soil is very poor in vitamins so it's recommend to take a magnesium suppiment.
