i started taking a magnesium supplement a few months ago and omg my digestion has been soooooo much better i can’t even believe a doctor hasn’t mention this. i did a private lab test to see any deficiencies and it came back b12 and magnesium deficient and allergy to dairy (which my bowls has been desperate to tell me for years!!!). since cutting out dairy and taking the supplements i have felt so much better it’s insane!
Thank you Dr Berg! Today I received my test results after 6 months of Keto: I am no more diabetic. My HBA1c is 43..1 point above normal..mean pre-diabetic (My GP don't know I have quit my medication for 6 months. my total cholesterol is 5.4..Tryglericde is 0.86 HDL is fine, but yes my LDL is slightly high at 3.43 mmol/L. My CRP down from 8 to 4. My kidney functions up from 68 to 89 (Egfr). My liver function is perfect. Full blood counts are all within range. Tell me, how I thank you?
I have high blood pressure and I am pre diabetic I am on a weight loss journey but I honestly learned more from this short video than I have from going to my primary dr once a month for the past year!! Btw he had me on thysoide but I stopped taking it thank goodness I listened to my body! I am going to start talking magnesium thank you for the info!
I'm quitting smoking and eating specific foods in a 4 hrs window and fasting 20 hrs a day.I'm hoping it will lower my insulin resistance and improve my overall health.
If I don't have enough magnesium, I throw off ventricular ectopic beats (VE's). Been a problem most of my adult life. I know if my blood sugars get higher than they should be (I have type 2 diabetes), such as when I stray from my keto diet, I deplete my magnesium stores and start throwing off VE's. So I've got so many good reasons to stay keto for life. I have put my fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome into remission with keto, brought my BSL's under control, and lost 32kg so far. Keto Rocks! Thanks Dr Berg.
@@ilovenoodles7483 the thing that worked for me was a little apple cider vinegar to increase acidity before meals, glutamine and aloe vera gel before bed with a slow reduction of Prilosec.
It is probably necessary for a lot of people to take a magnesium supplement. It is now difficult to obtain magnesium through foods as we're eating produce from depleted soils.
Just remember that the minerals in seeds, nuts, grains and kernels are bound to phytates and are mostly unavailable to us. Heat (as in roasting) has no effect on phytates. [Phytates, not to be confused with Phytase, the enzyme that breaks down Phytates]. Cucumbers are high in Magnesium. Strong stomach acid is also needed.
@@craigd123 If you don't like pumpkin seeds. Saute them in coconut oil until just brown. Add 3 teaspoons of hot sauce to the pan. Add extra cayenne pepper if you like heat. Remove from pan. Let cool then enjoy. Dr Axe has the recipe on his web site. I used the shelled pumpkin seeds.
@@allenmiller2071 Thanks but humans aren't seed eaters and heating vegetable oils causes cancer and diabetes. I'm sure they taste good but it is just junk food.
@@craigd123 I said coconut oil. NOT vegetable oils. Those clog the arteries. I'm sure Dr. Berg has videos on those oils.

What is funny is that I am very low in magnesium. I take 2000 mg a day ansd am still low and I am diabetic but I have always been able to keep my A1C in the high 6 to low 7 with out meds. Back mast year my A1C went up to a 10 and my dr wanted me to take metformin and even though I had it feeled I didnt take it but I noticed how more I was aching in my legs arms and basically all over so I uped my magnesium and on my next blood work my A1C went down to an 8 or and 8.5 but I was still aching all over amd it felt like the pain I would get when my magnesium was low so I started taking anywhere from 3000 to 4500 mg a day of magnesium and you would think I wouldnt be able to get off the pot but it didnt phase me. I also started taking fish oil and my next blood work showed not only my A1C was down to a 6.4 but my triglycerides went from over 500 down to 111 my cholesterol went down from close to 300 to 200. I asked the dr if she was sure if it was my blood work. She said well you are taking the metforeman and I said no I'm not and that I have never taken it. So when I asked her what would have made it drop so much along with the other stuff, she just looked at the computer screen and never said a word even though when I asked her if the magnesium and or fish oil have helped everything drop I'm glad I seen this video because now I know what it was that helped, exactly what my gut said it was. Yes it is hard to believe that magnesium does that much for your body. I'm back down to 2000 mg a day but I think I will try to go back to 3000 mg as long as I dont live on the pot. Thank you for this info and God bless.💞
It's good to try the topical magnesium oil as we'll for better absorption. Taking a magnesium bath with Espson salt also does wonders. Glad you feel better.
Hi Dr. Berg! I am unsure if the form of Mg matters (citrate, oxide, etc.). What do you recommend? Also, are magnesium salt baths as effective as oral ingestion? Thanks for all you do. Your videos help keep me motivated!
Good question! I'm following this. I always heard that absorbing magnesium through the skin is the best, but I would like to find out from a doctor if it's actually true or not. There is also magnesium lotion, because quite frankly magnesium flakes are expensive. Lol
@Paige B . Yes it is i heard Dr. Jason Funk said it on youtube that he took Epsom salt bath and give his kids as well(the oldest child is now a teenager and is refusing his bath) lol best of luck
Hang on a minute. Are you physic.? I just made Chocomole for lunch, went to put some nuts in it, & thought, put Brazils in cos off their Magnessium benefits, & BOOM you put this video up.

I started watching these videos along with some others. I applied myself to this diet 6 weeks ago and I rapidly dropped 50 pounds but have since plateaued and now I fluctuate plus or minus 4-6 pounds every few days.
Looove magnesium!! It has such a calming effect. If I find myself being easily startled by loud sounds or feeling "jumpy" it's my clue to up my magnesium intake. And in under an hour I can feel the difference. Works like a Frigging Charm!😎
@@priyarajaraman I use magnesium glycinate. And it also provides a very deep restorative sleep. I've also seen a magnesium supplement called "Calm" that a lot of people swear by. I'm not sure what form of magnesium that one contains, but you can easily find out if you use Google to look it up.👀 Good luck to you!
Yo B Clark in order to fix your T2 assuming it means type 2 diabetes, than the first thing you should do is start a Ketogenic Diet, meaning reducing your carb intake a lot, once you start the Ketogenic Diet make sure you do have a good amount of protein like 3-6 Oz per meal so you won't have hypoglycemia symptoms when you lower your carb and sugar intake, what protein will do is activate the hormone known as Glucagon and this will probably fix your problem with that,( I got this from a Dr.Berg video), also make sure you are eating your vegetables Dr.Berg recommends 7-10 cups of vegetables per day, and I know that might sound like a lot of work and a lot of veggies, and it is, so if you can't do that much, anything is better than nothing, so maybe 4-5 cups of vegetables or 2-3, basically as many as you can do, once you are on this Ketogenic Diet maybe for like 3 weeks, than you start incorporating Intermittent Fasting into your lifestyle, by doing 2 meals a day instead of 3 or you could even switch off some days, because you are doing Keto, make sure you get a little bit of high quality salt to keep your electrolytes up, like Celtic Salt and/or Pink Himalayan Salt, I personally don't know too much about Celtic Salt, but have heard it in videos, and I personally use Pink Himalayan Salt, because it's a good quality, I have heard you need a tablespoon a day, don't quote me on that though, what I do sometimes is shake a little bit of Pink Himalayan Salt into a cup of water and mix it with a spoon to dissolve the salt into the water, and then I drink it, I might do that once a day, also don't forget to drink water on Keto and in general, just don't golf down so much water to the point where your urine is clear, because according to Dr.Berg that means you are peeing out your electrolytes and thus making your heart weaker, and he says your pee should be a straw yellow, I am not even sure what that means, I am assuming it means a light yellow color or a light yellow straw color from a colored straw at a restaurant or something, also if you are on medications, and of course on insulin, than you need to of course talk to your doctor about the plan I just gave you and work with him on this plan while he measures out how much medication and insulin you need as your improve T2D, because once you start improving it than you will be needing less of that stuff, because T2D is a problem with the liver, T1D is a problem with the Pancreas, and T3D is a non official name presumably for Alzheimer's disease, because there is Insulin Resistance in the brain, T2D is a reversible disease that occurs over time as we age, and basically the worse your insulin resistance, you could develop it later in life, all of this information is a plan I have created based on information I have taken from Dr.Berg and Dr.Jason Fung, and have just putting it into a plan. I think this plan could really help you and even reverse your diabetes despite what doctors say that you can't reverse, because you can, but it could come back if you are not careful and get back on an unhealthy eating plan, but it is reversible, but of course advise your doctor first before starting this, I don't want to be responsible for something bad that might happen to you even though I don't think any of that would happen, just to be sure, like I said I would do this, you can also look up on RUclips MANY people have started the Ketogenic Diet and have reversed their T2D and have improved other chronic diseases and have improved their cholesterol and heart function. Oh and also one last thing, the best vegetables on a Ketogenic Diet are Cabbage, Asparagus, Bok Choy, Spinach, Kale, Broccoli, Salad, also make sure you are getting in enough fat, moderate amount of protein, and low carbs and sugars of course! I hope this helps you out a lot man! You've got this you can beat T2D and punch it in the face, just like I tell some of my tests in school 😂 you don't bully me, I bully you and punch you in the face, you don't punch ME in the face! lol
A regular blood test fir magnesium is not accuarate. Get a rbc test but mist doctors r pretty dumb n don't know wat tgat us or won't test ur red blood cell which will measure the mag in ur cells
Wouldn't application of ropical magnesium through the skin be the best way to supplement for magnesium deficiency. I read that most of the magnesium is lost during the digestive process, and that is best absorbed through the skin.
Everyone is Mg deficient as not only is it not in the soils any longer, due to artificial fertilisers, but also everyone has stress & / or consumes sugar in many forms including processed grains; both of which burn through what little Mg we do have.
I actually stopped taking my Metphormin and Glicazide a week ago. Blood sugar is in the 5's, when I eat it goes up to high 6's and an hour later I'm back down to the 5's. I did my first 72 hours fast with just black coffee and green tea from Thursday night at 7pm and finished Sunday night at 7pm. My blood sugar was at 3.8 on Sunday around 6pm (do a lot of speed walking) so I decided to just stick with 3 days. I get around 50 - 60 carbs (almost all from fiber and veggies) a day and fast every other day from 7pm - 2pm the next day when I don't work out. On days that I do workout, I have breakfast and last meal at 3pm then fast until next day. I will do 2 day fasts once a month now I think. I also do resistance training 5 times a week and security (11k steps a day most days).
I take magnesium/potassium/d and k2 suppplements. I think they're are the most common mineral deficiency in ppl because its so hard to get enough from just food
Main 1 will be shopping for this & Swiss chard for breakfast- no problem. I have the classic leg cramping.. and yep- no problem with the dark Chocalate! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
@@lindacormack365 Hi Linda, amazon, Life Extension super K, I get the 3 pak, 270 capsules for $45; one a day. After blood test, my K level is fine now.
I really wish people would say which diabetes they are talking about. Type 1, type 2, or both? As a person with type 1 daibetes this is very frustrating because usually when someone says "diabetes", they are referring to type 2.
Thank you for the informative video. You mentioned consumption of coffee depletes Magnesium and impacts Insulin resistance. I have come across articles indicating that black Coffee contains polyphenols which help prevent onset of diabetes. Can you please clarify on the contradiction and also quantify levels of magnesium depletion per cup of back coffee.
you should look up william Albrecht. He was a soil scientist at the university of Missouri and came up with a nutrient building plan for soils based on a balancing of calcium magnesium (68%ca to 12%mg) I wonder if the same balance is needed in what we eat?
My temp doc took my off of lasix for swelling. I told him it wasn't helping and actually caused my sugar to spike and bp to rise. I noticed this when I usually had lies blood pressure and sugars. Around 60-90 was norm for me. I was a more active and could walk 20 miles ca day. Had perfect chemistry. Started taking that Crap...through everything out of whack. It's taking fasting to recover my health! Thinking of going bank to the gym now!
A lot of people have a hard time absorbing any minerals due to low stomach acid. People taking antacids are only making it worse. In this case use foot soaks and magnesium oil or magnesium flakes in a warm bath. Your body will absorb what you need IF you are indeed deficient. Doing it this way you won't have to deal with gas and bloating that magnesium can cause in some people regardless of type. If you have low stomach acid you can take your magnesium with Betaine HCL/Pepsin and see if that helps.
Chromium is important too- Regards magnesium - I had left foot drop and unable to walk on my heel or even lift that foot-my shoe is worn but when I've upped the magnesium I can support my whole body weight on the effected heel- nothing truly scientific about that until you consider I'd have a few bits of lettuce or cucumber maybe some peas as vegetable once a week in the past. My BP is normal (was 145-90) before had readings of 114-77 recently - it not all down to that though as I've really cleaned up the diet- after years of eating rubbish absolute rubbish foods drinks etc. When I stopped magnesium twice in the past its returned .
Too bad there was no mention of the best form, & delivery method of supplementation for those highly deficient, and/or unable to metabolize certain forms. Or, of the role Iron plays, in the metabolism of Mag. Or, of proper testing for Mag. levels, & why serum levels aren't always the best indicator. Such a vital mineral.
If you are "highly" deficient then internet is not the best way to talk about delivery methods. Only after getting tested, you can be advised about the solution. For general non-deficient folks, daily application of a simple magnesium chloride solution is effective. For severely affected, an IV or injection is needed. And then there are tons of supplements with magnesium in different forms.
i consume 1/5-1/4 dose milk of magnesia (250-300 mg) every day with 1 tsp cream of tartar (500 mg potassium) in fruit juice flavored water. I'm "regular" and feel like I have good electrolyte balance.
There are no words enough to thank you for your caring, for your honesty and credibaility and for sharing your studies and efforts God bless you from the bottom of my heart/maha from Baghdad
I was just wondering that even with 175mg of mg glycinate how come I'm not peeing much. So that's the case. I pray this gives me my leg and arm cramp relaxation or have to up the dosage
Dr Berg can you do a video about the best diet for crohns disease. I have chrons disease and i am wondering if i should start KETO diet because i can not eat fried food and my doctor also recomended to not eat fatty foods. Also i dont want to lose weight rather gain weight. Can you do a crohns disease video please. I would highly apreciate it. Thank you
You might do a search of Dr. Berg's videos re: Crohn's Disease. He has spoken about it. Jordan Rubin was on the verge of death when he finally found help. He has written a book about his experience in great detail. He also authored "The Maker's Diet". You may wish to check him out. I've read both of them. Excellent info. I pray that you heal your body of this horrid disease. It's such a shame that so many doctors just don't have a clue about good nutrition!! Clean, nutritious food is #1.
@@M1a2n3o43 You are more than welcome! One of my dear friends died from Crohn's and the horrible effects on his human body. I did extensive research to try and help him. Unfortunately, he listened to his Dr. He ended up with a colostomy bag before the end. As with most of the physical problems that we have, our choice of food is the culprit for our ills. I do hope that you check out Jordan Rubin. May your efforts to heal be mightily blessed!
I used to take magnesium supplements, but it made me way too tired the next day so I stopped,, I do eat a lot of pumpkin seeds, but I do drink too much coffee...so....maybe I’ll take it again,??

When I take magnesium citrate with food I feel NO effect. It's only when I take bath with magnesium chloride I can feel huge difference
Bath salts are literally magnesium
What kind of difference do you feel? What changes?
maybe its being absorb better thru the skin and you're not absorbing much from the diet
Same. When I soak in epsom salt I feel the full effect of the magnesium vs when I take it orally.

Proton pump inhibitors also cause magnesium deficiency. In fact, long term use of drugs like Nexium and Prilosec can cause magnesemia, low magnesium.

Yo B Clark in order to fix your T2 assuming it means type 2 diabetes, than the first thing you should do is start a Ketogenic Diet, meaning reducing your carb intake a lot, once you start the Ketogenic Diet make sure you do have a good amount of protein like 3-6 Oz per meal so you won't have hypoglycemia symptoms when you lower your carb and sugar intake, what protein will do is activate the hormone known as Glucagon and this will probably fix your problem with that,( I got this from a Dr.Berg video), also make sure you are eating your vegetables Dr.Berg recommends 7-10 cups of vegetables per day, and I know that might sound like a lot of work and a lot of veggies, and it is, so if you can't do that much, anything is better than nothing, so maybe 4-5 cups of vegetables or 2-3, basically as many as you can do, once you are on this Ketogenic Diet maybe for like 3 weeks, than you start incorporating Intermittent Fasting into your lifestyle, by doing 2 meals a day instead of 3 or you could even switch off some days, because you are doing Keto, make sure you get a little bit of high quality salt to keep your electrolytes up, like Celtic Salt and/or Pink Himalayan Salt, I personally don't know too much about Celtic Salt, but have heard it in videos, and I personally use Pink Himalayan Salt, because it's a good quality, I have heard you need a tablespoon a day, don't quote me on that though, what I do sometimes is shake a little bit of Pink Himalayan Salt into a cup of water and mix it with a spoon to dissolve the salt into the water, and then I drink it, I might do that once a day, also don't forget to drink water on Keto and in general, just don't golf down so much water to the point where your urine is clear, because according to Dr.Berg that means you are peeing out your electrolytes and thus making your heart weaker, and he says your pee should be a straw yellow, I am not even sure what that means, I am assuming it means a light yellow color or a light yellow straw color from a colored straw at a restaurant or something, also if you are on medications, and of course on insulin, than you need to of course talk to your doctor about the plan I just gave you and work with him on this plan while he measures out how much medication and insulin you need as your improve T2D, because once you start improving it than you will be needing less of that stuff, because T2D is a problem with the liver, T1D is a problem with the Pancreas, and T3D is a non official name presumably for Alzheimer's disease, because there is Insulin Resistance in the brain, T2D is a reversible disease that occurs over time as we age, and basically the worse your insulin resistance, you could develop it later in life, all of this information is a plan I have created based on information I have taken from Dr.Berg and Dr.Jason Fung, and have just putting it into a plan. I think this plan could really help you and even reverse your diabetes despite what doctors say that you can't reverse, because you can, but it could come back if you are not careful and get back on an unhealthy eating plan, but it is reversible, but of course advise your doctor first before starting this, I don't want to be responsible for something bad that might happen to you even though I don't think any of that would happen, just to be sure, like I said I would do this, you can also look up on RUclips MANY people have started the Ketogenic Diet and have reversed their T2D and have improved other chronic diseases and have improved their cholesterol and heart function. Oh and also one last thing, the best vegetables on a Ketogenic Diet are Cabbage, Asparagus, Bok Choy, Spinach, Kale, Broccoli, Salad, also make sure you are getting in enough fat, moderate amount of protein, and low carbs and sugars of course! I hope this helps you out a lot man! You've got this you can beat T2D and punch it in the face, just like I tell some of my tests in school 😂 you don't bully me, I bully you and punch you in the face, you don't punch ME in the face! lol
A regular blood test fir magnesium is not accuarate. Get a rbc test but mist doctors r pretty dumb n don't know wat tgat us or won't test ur red blood cell which will measure the mag in ur cells
toeknee Lorenzo honestly, they are fuckin assholes. don't listen, think they are Gods, taking kickbacks from the drug companies.
Wouldn't application of ropical magnesium through the skin be the best way to supplement for magnesium deficiency. I read that most of the magnesium is lost during the digestive process, and that is best absorbed through the skin.
Excellent advice and information ☝🏻
How much magnesium is absorbed when bathing in epsom salts?
None
THANK YOU DR BERG
Really enjoying your life changing videos. Keep it up.
Everyone is Mg deficient as not only is it not in the soils any longer, due to artificial fertilisers, but also everyone has stress & / or consumes sugar in many forms including processed grains; both of which burn through what little Mg we do have.
Shared...bcz "sharing is caring"
I actually stopped taking my Metphormin and Glicazide a week ago. Blood sugar is in the 5's, when I eat it goes up to high 6's and an hour later I'm back down to the 5's. I did my first 72 hours fast with just black coffee and green tea from Thursday night at 7pm and finished Sunday night at 7pm. My blood sugar was at 3.8 on Sunday around 6pm (do a lot of speed walking) so I decided to just stick with 3 days. I get around 50 - 60 carbs (almost all from fiber and veggies) a day and fast every other day from 7pm - 2pm the next day when I don't work out. On days that I do workout, I have breakfast and last meal at 3pm then fast until next day. I will do 2 day fasts once a month now I think. I also do resistance training 5 times a week and security (11k steps a day most days).
Thank you so much for the wealth of information that you share with us constantly. RESPECT!
"0:53" -- Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for Magnesium for men is "400 to 420 mg" & for women around "300."
I take magnesium/potassium/d and k2 suppplements. I think they're are the most common mineral deficiency in ppl because its so hard to get enough from just food
Main 1 will be shopping for this & Swiss chard for breakfast- no problem. I have the classic leg cramping.. and yep- no problem with the dark Chocalate! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
I've read/watched videos about K2 and think it would help me. What brand do you use, how many mg per day, where do you buy? TIA.
@@lindacormack365 Hi Linda, amazon, Life Extension super K, I get the 3 pak, 270 capsules for $45; one a day. After blood test, my K level is fine now.
@@jafrasar1 Thanks again.
@@lindacormack365 I take SOLGAR brand, 100 micrograms each pill, once a day
Take care !
I got this video sandwitched between grilled cheese recipe and nutella cake recipe in my subscription tab XD
Love Dr B's vids
How about Epsom Salt and Himalayan Salt?
I really wish people would say which diabetes they are talking about. Type 1, type 2, or both? As a person with type 1 daibetes this is very frustrating because usually when someone says "diabetes", they are referring to type 2.
He's talking able type 2.
Thank you for the informative video. You mentioned consumption of coffee depletes Magnesium and impacts Insulin resistance. I have come across articles indicating that black Coffee contains polyphenols which help prevent onset of diabetes. Can you please clarify on the contradiction and also quantify levels of magnesium depletion per cup of back coffee.
I don't think Dr Berg can provide how many micrograms of magnesium are deleted out of the system, per grams of coffee consumed.
Caffeine was mentioned. Caffeine is a diuretic and vasoconstrictor.
Just drink your coffee and rub magnesium oil spray on the soles of your feet.
you should look up william Albrecht. He was a soil scientist at the university of Missouri and came up with a nutrient building plan for soils based on a balancing of calcium magnesium (68%ca to 12%mg) I wonder if the same balance is needed in what we eat?
My temp doc took my off of lasix for swelling. I told him it wasn't helping and actually caused my sugar to spike and bp to rise. I noticed this when I usually had lies blood pressure and sugars. Around 60-90 was norm for me. I was a more active and could walk 20 miles ca day. Had perfect chemistry. Started taking that Crap...through everything out of whack. It's taking fasting to recover my health! Thinking of going bank to the gym now!
Dr Berg please make a video on cupping
A lot of people have a hard time absorbing any minerals due to low stomach acid. People taking antacids are only making it worse. In this case use foot soaks and magnesium oil or magnesium flakes in a warm bath. Your body will absorb what you need IF you are indeed deficient. Doing it this way you won't have to deal with gas and bloating that magnesium can cause in some people regardless of type. If you have low stomach acid you can take your magnesium with Betaine HCL/Pepsin and see if that helps.
Chromium is important too-
Regards magnesium - I had left foot drop and unable to walk on my heel or even lift that foot-my shoe is worn but when I've upped the magnesium I can support my whole body weight on the effected heel- nothing truly scientific about that until you consider I'd have a few bits of lettuce or cucumber maybe some peas as vegetable once a week in the past.
My BP is normal (was 145-90) before had readings of 114-77 recently - it not all down to that though as I've really cleaned up the diet- after years of eating rubbish absolute rubbish foods drinks etc. When I stopped magnesium twice in the past its returned .
So which Magnesium is best to supplement with?
Do you recommend Glutathione???
1 tsp of Epson salt dissolved in water is a good source of magnesium. ❤️
Wonderful tip. Thanks Dr. Berg
Too bad there was no mention of the best form, & delivery method of supplementation for those highly deficient, and/or unable to metabolize certain forms. Or, of the role Iron plays, in the metabolism of Mag. Or, of proper testing for Mag. levels, & why serum levels aren't always the best indicator.
Such a vital mineral.
If you are "highly" deficient then internet is not the best way to talk about delivery methods. Only after getting tested, you can be advised about the solution. For general non-deficient folks, daily application of a simple magnesium chloride solution is effective. For severely affected, an IV or injection is needed.
And then there are tons of supplements with magnesium in different forms.
Salad with organic Hemp seeds!
What are the 10 foods to avoid diabetes?
Good Morning, Dr.Berg - Thank you so much for sharing this valuable information with everyone , I needed to hear this one !
🙏 Date 4/16/2019 🙏
ME TOO!!
i consume 1/5-1/4 dose milk of magnesia (250-300 mg) every day with 1 tsp cream of tartar (500 mg potassium) in fruit juice flavored water. I'm "regular" and feel like I have good electrolyte balance.
There are no words enough to thank you for your caring, for your honesty and credibaility and for sharing your studies and efforts God bless you from the bottom of my heart/maha from Baghdad
Can you talk about probiotic pills...
Is magnesium come from the whole pumpkin seed or from the center seed? Thank you
I have a lot of swelling with achy joints and a tingling sensation on keto omnivore. It is especially bad in my hands. Suggestions???
Pls add subtitles
Wow. I need to buckle down and drink my magnesium
I was just wondering that even with 175mg of mg glycinate how come I'm not peeing much. So that's the case. I pray this gives me my leg and arm cramp relaxation or have to up the dosage
really helpful video, thanks guys!
Should the pumpkin seeds be raw?
Thanks dr.but you forgot the captions today on this video.
Dr.Berg, please do a video on lipedema and lympedema and on how to reduce the swelling
Is 500mg mg oxide too much?
I always suspected my coffee addiction and my GAD was working together to deplete some valuable minerals.
What kind of magnesium supliment is absorbed best?
so which form of magnedium is the one!
Dr Berg can you do a video about the best diet for crohns disease. I have chrons disease and i am wondering if i should start KETO diet because i can not eat fried food and my doctor also recomended to not eat fatty foods. Also i dont want to lose weight rather gain weight. Can you do a crohns disease video please. I would highly apreciate it. Thank you
You might do a search of Dr. Berg's videos re: Crohn's Disease. He has spoken about it. Jordan Rubin was on the verge of death when he finally found help. He has written a book about his experience in great detail. He also authored "The Maker's Diet". You may wish to check him out. I've read both of them. Excellent info. I pray that you heal your body of this horrid disease. It's such a shame that so many doctors just don't have a clue about good nutrition!! Clean, nutritious food is #1.
@@vickieturner8688 Thank you for your reply.
@@M1a2n3o43 You are more than welcome! One of my dear friends died from Crohn's and the horrible effects on his human body. I did extensive research to try and help him. Unfortunately, he listened to his Dr. He ended up with a colostomy bag before the end. As with most of the physical problems that we have, our choice of food is the culprit for our ills. I do hope that you check out Jordan Rubin. May your efforts to heal be mightily blessed!
Do we need to consume magnesium supplements during prolonged fasting (2+ days - 1 week)? If so, how much is needed?
How about soaking in Epsom Salts?
Could you please do a video on ADHD?
would i get enough magnesium if i use chlorophyll instead of taking magnesium supplements?????????????
Brilliant content as always Dr!
I believe I had a mg deficiency sometime around 2016 to 2017.
Regards,
Toby
how did you fix it and how long did it take? all symptoms gone? thank you.
Good ole Dr Eric Berg 💖💖💖
plz dr. make a video about weight loss during ramadan💜
@Rid Hague . Do intermittent fasting (OMAD) see Dr. E. Berge on keto diet it works
Thank you sir,for amazing knowledge sharing
I love your videos Dr. Im curious why you never talk about the benefits/nutrition in hemp seeds?
I used to take magnesium supplements, but it made me way too tired the next day so I stopped,, I do eat a lot of pumpkin seeds, but I do drink too much coffee...so....maybe I’ll take it again,??
Please Dr Eric tell us about the high bilirubin and fat liver? Thinks
Thank you so very much for this valuable information.
+ P5P (aka B6)
Not Just B6 Supplement (waste of money)
P5P is the Natural Highly absorbed for of B6
(Search it)
P5P (b6) transports and increases magnesium.
Wow, GREAT to learn of this, @Mark Adlard
@@michellerjackson5776
My pleasure Michelle.
Actually b6 (but as p5p you can usually only find on Amazon or online)
is Soooo important to get many vits/minerals in to the body.
Have s nice day .
What is the best source of magnesium to take for type 2 diabetics? I've heard you can make magnesium bicarbonate from milk of magnesia and carbonated water. How reliable is this?
I don't get calf cramping but I do get cramping in the arches of my feet. I have recently started adding salad to my diet due to your videos.
100 grams of pine nuts have 251 mg of magnesium and 597 mg of potassium. Not too many people mention pine nuts for some reason.
Maybe, because they're almost as expensive as gold.
@@chachadodds5860 you can find them reasonably priced if you search. I did.
Really good video and as I understand Hummus seems to have a major amount for just 1 cup
