  • 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...

    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!!!

    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!

    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! 💖

    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 .

    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.

    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.

    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. 💪🏻👊🏻👊🏻

      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.

      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.

      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.
