When evaluating the status of a nutrient mineral one must take into account the anti-nutrient concept. For example, Zinc is in the same column on the periodic table as cadmium and mercury so the heavier metals will displace the nutrient mineral zinc. In fact one molecule of mercury can displace thousands of ions of zinc. The only true test to really assess the nutrients is serial hair tissue mineral analysis which in my mind is the gold standard and the most important test to assess the minerals and the toxic elements. Also the anti-nutrient is when a mineral nutrient becomes oxidized then you have the oxidized version of a nutrient mineral that behaves like a toxic metals such as copper and iron that can wreak havoc on our chemistry. Bio unavailable copper seems to be the most problematic metal when copper is unbound single and free then it behaves like the toxic metal won one hand, while causing copper deficiency on the other hand, leaving us with a double whammy. Then there are the ion channels where most of the problems are happening as mercury will change the 3D channel proteins in which these ion channels become disrupted and mercury can block potassium like no other. Minerals truly are the spark plugs of life, not only do they give us reference to cosmology biology but also our psychology and physiology we truly are made up of star stuff.
I have been supplementing with liquid Colloidal minerals for months now. It was life changing. I was anemic and exhausted from heavy menstrual cycles. This is no longer the case. Noticed an improvement the first month!
That’s wonderful, Shelley! I know so many women going through the same issues from heavy menstration. What is the name and manufacturer of the product you used? Thank you for sharing your wins!
I've been taking HCl to make all these nutrients in food more bioavailable...and supplementing deficiencies I found through intra cellular testing. It's taken a almost a year but my energy and ability to focus is so so much better. I've been dealing with with CFS and long covid ....some days I feel great ..and the bad days are much shorter. Our bodies can heal if they have the nutrients!!
Love this video! Such great information! It also has me wondering about the pipes in our homes... many houses are going up without copper pipes anymore (due to the cost associated with copper) and it's being replaced with PEX tubing. I imagine this change has in some way affected our copper levels in our bodies as well, not to mention adding a plastic into the mix that may also result in health issues.
I think it is enormous amount of information and it requires guide a bit time to digest. I definitely need help with all this and of course it is probably requires quite an adequate amount founds.
Dr Grundy and his nutritional philosophies are not in the same category as Dr Hyman. Dr Grundy has a one size fits all approach and his philosophies are not based on bio individuality.
Gundry seems like a con artist. A lot of his recommendations make no sense and his products are way overpriced. He is selling 6 granola bars for $40!! The reviews are one star and say that it tastes terrible at that.
Thank you so much for this discussion. Very informative and yes, so important to understand that no mineral works in isolationand it can be dangerous to take only a single mineral supplement. For instance, taking calcium supplement that does not have boron, copper, manganese and zinc will limit your body's utilisation of the calcium. People in general are very ignorant regarding minerals so this is great to see on utube! I have been taking Tissue Salts for 15 years in almost a daily basis and have benefited from it. I am 71 and have no chronic disease and am on no medication. I believe it is the supplementing with nature's 12 mineral salts as well as eating healthy in general. And yes, I use iodised salt and have been ridiculed for "using too much salt". Now I have confirmation that I am normal... 😊
@mythoughts, please tell me what are these "Tissue Salts" you speak of? I have found great benefit from adding Phour Salts to water, and will add 1 packet Emergen-C to make it more palatable. It really helps with reversing muscle cramps (spasms) as well as raynaud's syndrom. I want to know more about the minerals your take and in what form and this "12 mineral salts" you speak of. Thank you in advance, for your response. very appreciative.
@@cherylkeithley7303 It is called Biochemical Tissue Salts and are the 12 minerals found in the body as well as in the rocks and earrh around us. "From dust we were created..."

Great talk from my favorite doctor Mark Hyman. Dr. James DiNicolantonio (whose last name I always have to copy and paste) is knowledgeable about minerals, he really made me smarter even though I have been working on nutrition for 20 years. Thanks to both of them and Love from Istanbul / Turkey.
The message on copper wasn't totally clear to me. I have taken a 2mg copper supplement for a very long time, so I would like to know what is recommended here, and how many milligrams should be taken daily.
Organic vegan here for decades. B12 was low so began taking a supplement. I just had my annual blood test and discovered I was low on Iron. My diet could be described as Vegan Okinawan. Very clean eating, no processed food and copious quantities of veg. I was very surprised to discover that I was mildly anemic. I’ve started a Garden of Eden Iron supplements. Last few months I’ve been craving carrots. I’m glad I was paying attention.
Hi, I want to mention that Calciumsupplementation could make sense for some people who have problems with supplementing Magnesium. I became extremely tired and sick from Magnesiumsupplementation but I know that I had a Magnesiumdeficiency. I took some Calciumlactate (Not much only 300mg) to the Magnesium and the problem was solved.
I have a magnesium calcium zinc combo that most would advise against. I would need to take 6 caps a day so I only take 1 maybe 2 a day and they do miracles for me even not in the correct forms. But sure enough, supplementing calcium is tricky and shouldnt be done without decent research and monitoring. And of all supplements never ever calcium on its own. Overdose can lead in best worst case scenario to kidney stones easily.
I do believe he knows what he’s talking about in regards to minerals, I even just purchased a book on Kindle. Having said that, at timestamp 45 minutes , he gives a more main stream Medical answer about iodine. That is to say a less than fully informed opinion. Dr. David Brownstein, in his book on iodine is an excellent resource, comprehensive and supported by science.
Yeah, lacking in knowledge there really puts into question other stuff. He says we need 700mg of magnesium for optimal health but i don't think that a carb focused diet will require the same as a fat focused diet. A lot of carnivores thrive on much lower ammounts of minerals, i think the body can recycle a lot, just like it recycles protein
Yes you are correct! Anyone who wants to learn about iodine should consult Dr. David Brownstein, Dr. Jorge Flechas or Dr. William Davis. The latter wrote the book called "Wheat Belly". Iodized salt inhibits goiter, and that's about it. Almost no salt is iodized these days. Milk is no longer iodized. Bread is no longer iodized. Iodine is volatile, like all the other elements on the 17th column of the periodic table of elements. The iodine in salt, and even the iodine in seaweed products, will lose its content in a short period of time due to heat and oxygen exposure. Lack of iodine is the number one cause of mental retardation on the planet.
and how many people end up doing something that puts them in prison, just because they are deficient? Kids and especially their parents should be educated about vitamins and minerals. This should be known by everybody. We are what we eat and we eat every single day, so this should be general knowledge, really.
Thiamine is water soluble and is thiamine deficiency is common in homelessness, alcoholism, high carb/sugar western diets, and poverty. The body can not make thiamine, it must be consumed. It can be depleted very quickly and effect the central nervous system were disease begins.
This was excellent! However, I was surprised that the anti- nutrients in plants such as oxalates and phytates weren't mentioned. Spinach is very high in oxalates which bind to calcium, magnesium, potassium, copper and iron, so you can't absorb them. So are beets, chard, nuts esp. almonds, grains, soy, chocolate and black tea. Phenols and tannins in carrots, celery, legumes, chocolate and coffee reduce iron and zinc absorption. Phytic acid in grains, nuts, seeds, and potatoes reduces absorption of zinc, iron and calcium. I couldn't figure out why my iron was so low when I ate a lot of spinach (and other high oxalate foods) and avoided red meat. I expected it to improve after menopause, but it didnt. After I sent to a ketovore WOE it improved and I am no longer anemic or have fibromyalgia and bladder pain.
Great informations Docs. The nuts and seeds can be affordable for most people but for most people all those other food upgrades are a luxury they can not afford :(
I love the idea of people getting tested for say 20 or 30 deficiencies in certain common vitamins and minerals. Also a follow up lab after 6 months of improved dietary intake... perhaps an appointment or two with a natural dietitian?!?
22:42 I love the statement as a formally overweight person. Being overweight in America is so normalized that people think that if you are a healthy way, you are too skinny.
Id think the best way to see where im at is to take a CBC mineral deficiency test ...to have a complete idea of what im low on..I mean that would be the only way to then correct it. Most insurances do NOT cover these tests either...its something you must push for and push for...
I love this! I have been saying this for years. Does a low alkaline phosphatase test on bloodwork indicate vitamin or mineral deficiency? How would you know if you were?
I have a hair test that showed I have extremely high levels of copper. At toxic levels. And i have high zinc in my hair so it's not because of zinc deficiency. How much should I trust the hair test and levels of high copper? Is it possible that only my hair has high copper? Or does that mean my whole body has high copper?
The Pharm/D, Dr. D. mentioned he has an intake of 4,000 mg of Potassium daily. I have the 0.99 mg caps but it would take 40 to reach that level. Amazon has powder where you a tablespoon or two in liquid to reach 4,000 mg. It is too hard to eat salads/veggies to get the RDA of potassium. I will order the Potassium powder to get my body chemistry in gear.
Wow! Is there a way I can get one of you doctors to be my virtual consulting doctor? I want to incorporate healthy diet/functional medicine into my practice. I’m a NP.
@@map4275 I wonder why?! I know some people do not want to hear they have to give up foods they love in order to heal their bodies and they do not want to enjoy these treats once every blue moon, but to often. And sometimes doctors do not know how to speak to patients with respect.
A pharmacist once told me that I was wasting my money buying vitamin and mineral supplements; her exact words were, "you're only wasting your money buying vitamin and mineral supplements, fruits and vegetables have all the nutrients you need". Doctors, can anyone of you tell me how much Selenium and Iodine should I take for hypothyroidism; thank you. Thank you again doctors, the both of you were amazing! God bless you guys 🙏💙💐🙏💙💐
Watch Dr.Brownstein video on the use of iodine. When it comes to iodine there's no one size fits all. I was talking 12.5 iodine and didn't see any benefits until I doubled that amount.
@@carollynne5943 Can you please give more details? How much moringa and stinging nettle do you take and do you take them together or separately? Thank you 🙏
Thats an eye opener that people with insuline resistance cannot absorb magnesium and some minerals can even be dangerous! I do not have insuline resistance (yet) but am sligh overweight. I sometimes get random palpitations and I figure now this might be due to taking too much for me magnesium (I take 400 magnesium glycinate + some magnesium from other supplements). I will lower it and see if it goes away. I always thought magnesium is the motor behind most if not all other nutrients to be absorbed. Dealing with deficiencies is such a puzzle sometimes.
„One of the best measurements of salt sensitivity is insulin resistance“. Hhm, I am at perfect bmi, muscular, athletic, for sure not insulin resistant and aiming for nutritional excellence. I monitor my micronutrients by food tracking, regular/yearly blood tests, including (serum) status of main minerals, vitamins, omega 3’s and I watch absorption inhibitors and supplement specifically on those minerals & vitamins where I (might) fall short or conversion rate might be low. I achieved to lower my bp considerably within 4 weeks by strictly eliminating dairy (cheese=less salt!) and all other animal protein. No weightloss or other lifestyle interventions contributed to that experiment on myself 6 years ago. I tweaked further but all these years of super healthy eating ä, maintaining a good regular exercise regime I still have borderline high blood pressure (94/140 on good days). I have to grudgingly submit to the fact that my genetic disposition is strong and that my triggers are intensive reactions to stress & bad sleep. To work on that is much more difficult. As all other risk factors are so low I do not take any medication for that but I might have to in the future. Sigh... I am only an n=1 so not statistically relevant but there must be more people like me out there. Diagnose can be really multi layered...
He didnt mention shellfish like mussels and oysters which contain most of these minerals. And protein and fat. But they're high in selenium, iron, zinc, potassium, iodine etc..
The copper statement was confusing. He said the rda is wrong and doesn't account for daily sweat loss around 0.3mg . Then mentions a study giving 1mg per day and that causing insulin resistance, high trigs and cholesterol . But the rda is 0.9mg so giving 1 mg per day is pretty close to rda and if rda is 0.3mg low that implies it would be better set at 1.2mg. Can anyone clarify what I'm missing? Thanks!
I added more salt during a psoriasis flareup and now I have swollen legs.. edema. I believe the sodium is taking it intracellular water and taking it out... But how to deal with it?
Question, what about the oxalates in plants, don’t they steal the minerals from the plants we are eating so we don’t absorb them? I have heard this before but am a bit confused on the subject.
This was very interesting but quite hard to do something about, The testing for mineral depletion is complicated for the lay person. You did not mention the availability of a mineral panel that could work. The foods mentioned are both hard to find and expensive for the average person. Surely there is a way to help the majority of people but how? And finally, you do not point us to a mineral supplement that we may take to even get a base level of minerals. I so wish these talks would be geared to helping ordinary people take accesible steps to help themselves.
I loved this info up until the point where he recommended bison meat. Unless you're a doctor, the average person right now can't afford bison. Let's make some of these videos more relevant for the average person. Inflation is high and sometimes food is scarce. I find myself eating more canned meats now, rather than buying a beef roast. Please don't suggest I cut back from somewhere else because that does not exist. Again, the facts here were excellent. I will look for more videos
What about getting too much of something - what does that do to your balance - my naturopath took me off of all D3 because my levels were too high.. so that same concept - can too much cause equally harmful imbalances?
Barbara O’Neill suggests the iodine test on your arm. Put a rectangle patch of liquid iodine on your arm and let it sit for an hour. If it absorbs you’re deficient. If it doesn’t then you’re not.
I have been trying to find out the reason that minerals work...Nowhere and nonone can explain it. If "these minerals are key" how do they work? What is the physicsnor chemical kinetics of minerals...Is it photo-electric? I can't see jow minerals are activated withou light...metal/minerals must have a work function... Why are "they" mum on this infomation.... Why and how do minerals do what they do?
Am I missing something re: copper? Approx 16mins in, He said the RDA doesn't match optimum nutrient requirement. Then he says if you put someone on 1mg of copper it *induces* insulin resistance etc...
He means that 1 mg of Cu is too low and will cause insulin resistance. Low copper causes aneurysms - aortic and cerebral, along with varicose veins and hemorrhoids owing to the non creation of elastin because of the copper deficiency. Deficiency is also indicated by snow white hair, or premature grey hair since copper is needed to produce colour in keratin.
Go on cronometer website to track your foods. The more whole foods you consume the better is the analysis as mineral & vitamin content is seldom stated on the label of convenience meals/processed foods and therefore not covered well by nutritional data bases.
These guys are heroes. It is huge in the medical community to take on mainstream issues changing old thinking to the right thinking and saving lives!

MOST DOCTORS DON'T KNOW ABOUT NUTRITION. THEY DON'T TALK TO PATIENTS ABOUT NUTRITION. WE NEED DOCTORS IN FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE.
Plenty out there. Go see an ND!
This is God sent. I was just telling somebody that the majority of problems come from nutrient deficiencies.
Nutrient deficiencies in combination with Toxicity.
When evaluating the status of a nutrient mineral one must take into account the anti-nutrient concept. For example, Zinc is in the same column on the periodic table as cadmium and mercury so the heavier metals will displace the nutrient mineral zinc. In fact one molecule of mercury can displace thousands of ions of zinc. The only true test to really assess the nutrients is serial hair tissue mineral analysis which in my mind is the gold standard and the most important test to assess the minerals and the toxic elements. Also the anti-nutrient is when a mineral nutrient becomes oxidized then you have the oxidized version of a nutrient mineral that behaves like a toxic metals such as copper and iron that can wreak havoc on our chemistry. Bio unavailable copper seems to be the most problematic metal when copper is unbound single and free then it behaves like the toxic metal won one hand, while causing copper deficiency on the other hand, leaving us with a double whammy. Then there are the ion channels where most of the problems are happening as mercury will change the 3D channel proteins in which these ion channels become disrupted and mercury can block potassium like no other. Minerals truly are the spark plugs of life, not only do they give us reference to cosmology biology but also our psychology and physiology we truly are made up of star stuff.

Love this video! Such great information! It also has me wondering about the pipes in our homes... many houses are going up without copper pipes anymore (due to the cost associated with copper) and it's being replaced with PEX tubing. I imagine this change has in some way affected our copper levels in our bodies as well, not to mention adding a plastic into the mix that may also result in health issues.
I'm not sure about pex, but PVC plastic pipes secrete BPA. Nuts, almonds etc.have lots of copper. Zinc supplements will interfere with copper.
Also bacteria doesnt grow on copper either. That is why wooden ships were copper clad. Bacteria doesnt grow on silver either.
I think it is enormous amount of information and it requires guide a bit time to digest. I definitely need help with all this and of course it is probably requires quite an adequate amount founds.

Watch Dr.Brownstein video on the use of iodine. When it comes to iodine there's no one size fits all. I was talking 12.5 iodine and didn't see any benefits until I doubled that amount.
@@micaonyx5301
Thanks for responding but 12.5 what, is it 12.5 milligrams? I think you meant milligrams! Thank you.
Choosing lab made minerals is a curriculum.Some r toxic.I use natural sources like moringa n stinging nettle powders.
@@carollynne5943
Can you please give more details? How much moringa and stinging nettle do you take and do you take them together or separately? Thank you 🙏
@@skinnydee1886 I use half teaspoon of either at meal times..You can also pack into capsules when travelling.Best wishes🙏🏼
Thats an eye opener that people with insuline resistance cannot absorb magnesium and some minerals can even be dangerous! I do not have insuline resistance (yet) but am sligh overweight. I sometimes get random palpitations and I figure now this might be due to taking too much for me magnesium (I take 400 magnesium glycinate + some magnesium from other supplements). I will lower it and see if it goes away. I always thought magnesium is the motor behind most if not all other nutrients to be absorbed. Dealing with deficiencies is such a puzzle sometimes.

What do you mean by salt sensitive? Blood pressure goes up???
Which magnesium is best absorbed
Lysinate or glysinate
Magnesium glycinate is the best for absorption. Best to take at night with vitamin D3 because it helps to sleep well.
„One of the best measurements of salt sensitivity is insulin resistance“. Hhm, I am at perfect bmi, muscular, athletic, for sure not insulin resistant and aiming for nutritional excellence. I monitor my micronutrients by food tracking, regular/yearly blood tests, including (serum) status of main minerals, vitamins, omega 3’s and I watch absorption inhibitors and supplement specifically on those minerals & vitamins where I (might) fall short or conversion rate might be low. I achieved to lower my bp considerably within 4 weeks by strictly eliminating dairy (cheese=less salt!) and all other animal protein. No weightloss or other lifestyle interventions contributed to that experiment on myself 6 years ago. I tweaked further but all these years of super healthy eating ä, maintaining a good regular exercise regime I still have borderline high blood pressure (94/140 on good days). I have to grudgingly submit to the fact that my genetic disposition is strong and that my triggers are intensive reactions to stress & bad sleep. To work on that is much more difficult. As all other risk factors are so low I do not take any medication for that but I might have to in the future. Sigh... I am only an n=1 so not statistically relevant but there must be more people like me out there. Diagnose can be really multi layered...
Too many adds!😕😯aren't 2 enough?
Nobody talks much about potassium and good food sources. Most people dont even come close to eating enough potassium rich foods
That was great!
Which magnesium supplement should be taken? Thank you.
Is there a hair mineral testing kit that you recommend?
You want one that doesn't wash the hair as washing will provide false readings. Analytical Research Labs is one that I use for this reason
@@n4yr6 thanks
Thanks for this.
I wonder if having copper pipe plumbing (supply water) helps with copper deficiency?
He didnt mention shellfish like mussels and oysters which contain most of these minerals. And protein and fat. But they're high in selenium, iron, zinc, potassium, iodine etc..
Wonderful interview. Thanks so much.
This video is better than a whole medicine graduation
I can't come to MA. So what tests can I get at my doctor to help optimize my minerals?
The copper statement was confusing. He said the rda is wrong and doesn't account for daily sweat loss around 0.3mg . Then mentions a study giving 1mg per day and that causing insulin resistance, high trigs and cholesterol . But the rda is 0.9mg so giving 1 mg per day is pretty close to rda and if rda is 0.3mg low that implies it would be better set at 1.2mg. Can anyone clarify what I'm missing? Thanks!
Do you have a video on reversing kidney disease?
What about say thyroid calcification, is that caused by magnesium deficiency as well?
I added more salt during a psoriasis flareup and now I have swollen legs.. edema. I believe the sodium is taking it intracellular water and taking it out... But how to deal with it?
Question, what about the oxalates in plants, don’t they steal the minerals from the plants we are eating so we don’t absorb them? I have heard this before but am a bit confused on the subject.
This was very interesting but quite hard to do something about, The testing for mineral depletion is complicated for the lay person. You did not mention the availability of a mineral panel that could work. The foods mentioned are both hard to find and expensive for the average person. Surely there is a way to help the majority of people but how? And finally, you do not point us to a mineral supplement that we may take to even get a base level of minerals. I so wish these talks would be geared to helping ordinary people take accesible steps to help themselves.
IR Insulin Resistance makes it hard for minerals to enter cells
L-malic acid... Most all who've died from the cytokine storm associated with Rona infection did so due to L-malic acid depletion.
We are NOT meant to require 4g of potassium a day.
Excellent
I loved this info up until the point where he recommended bison meat. Unless you're a doctor, the average person right now can't afford bison. Let's make some of these videos more relevant for the average person. Inflation is high and sometimes food is scarce. I find myself eating more canned meats now, rather than buying a beef roast. Please don't suggest I cut back from somewhere else because that does not exist. Again, the facts here were excellent. I will look for more videos
What about getting too much of something - what does that do to your balance - my naturopath took me off of all D3 because my levels were too high.. so that same concept - can too much cause equally harmful imbalances?
So true. Love it
Why do they say salt needs to be avoided with cancer?
Barbara O’Neill suggests the iodine test on your arm. Put a rectangle patch of liquid iodine on your arm and let it sit for an hour. If it absorbs you’re deficient. If it doesn’t then you’re not.
Your website is down
I take flaxseed oil supplement every every day for my vegan omega-3. Is that bad for my health? I know that you guys said that seed oils are bad.
So good..
I have been trying to find out the reason that minerals work...Nowhere and nonone can explain it.
If "these minerals are key" how do they work? What is the physicsnor chemical kinetics of minerals...Is it photo-electric? I can't see jow minerals are activated withou light...metal/minerals must have a work function...
Why are "they" mum on this infomation....
Why and how do minerals do what they do?
Am I missing something re: copper? Approx 16mins in, He said the RDA doesn't match optimum nutrient requirement. Then he says if you put someone on 1mg of copper it *induces* insulin resistance etc...
You need 3 mg copper daily
He means that 1 mg of Cu is too low and will cause insulin resistance. Low copper causes aneurysms - aortic and cerebral, along with varicose veins and hemorrhoids owing to the non creation of elastin because of the copper deficiency. Deficiency is also indicated by snow white hair, or premature grey hair since copper is needed to produce colour in keratin.
So how can you measure how much potassium you are getting daily?
Go on cronometer website to track your foods. The more whole foods you consume the better is the analysis as mineral & vitamin content is seldom stated on the label of convenience meals/processed foods and therefore not covered well by nutritional data bases.
should you take a copper supplement?
Can you comment on LREH high blood pressure?
