Thanks for the info Docs, you guys are great. Love the light hearted banter as well, would be a lot easier visiting a doctor if they were all like you two. Keep up the great work!
Started taking magnesium 250 mg each day at beginning of winter. I am over 65. I noticed that my muscular strength improved dramatically. My small of the back muscles used to get tired easily while shoveling snow. This year, we had the most snow ever, and I never got tired while shoveling show. Other Strenuous exercises I used to be able to do every other day, I was able to do every day. Sleep was much, much better. Used to wake up about every hour, now I wake up maybe once a night.
That’s awesome Tom thanks for sharing
Which kind may I ask?
@@primeminister66wondering the same…
Good content which one did you take?
Which kind may I ask?
Thx for opening my eyes. I am an older senior and am trying to live a long healthy life. I also suffer relaxing and being able to sleep at night so this video definitely helps me!!!!
You guys are great. Love the way you play off each other.
Please keep up making these videos to continue educating us.
Another excellent video. Unlike most RUclipsrs who claim to be 'doctors', you guys are the real thing - stellar credentials. Keep these videos coming - you are doing a great public service.
Why thank you Chad. Doing our best to keep our viewers informed.
Yay! Another interesting video. I'll take a Megadose of you guys any day! Love your light approach, which provides rich benefits for us, your consumers. Thanks! 😀
Thank you so much Sandy
My magnesium six month ago was dangerously low, and I was really sick, Doctor found out and put me on 1000 mg per day, it it good now, but am now on 250 mg per day, and feeling so much better! Thanks for your advice on Magnesium, it also helps a lot to know more!
So glad to hear that!
Vickie said it. Delighted by your talks and banter!
Thanks Yolanda!
Thank you for providing so much health info in a very entertaining way .Who knew learning could be so much fun !
Thanks Carolyn. Doing our best
You two are my mega dose of humor and information each day! 👍
I watched this video twice, once for the puns and once for the knowledge and it was funnier the second time!😉
If we had teachers like you in school, we would never forget anything because you have a great balance between humor and knowledge!
Magnesium PI gave us a plethora of facts while Chicken Wing Doc poured on the puns! What a dynamic duo!
We are so lucky to have your humor and knowledge so we know how to take care of ourselves, you never let us down! You make learning fun!
What we learned from this video:
Don't eat toasters, way too much metal!
Chicken wings don't have enough metal!
Magnesium is a metal!
Zinc is a metal!
Iron is a metal!
Too much metal isn't good in the stomach!
The right amount of metal can help you sleep as well as a bunch of other things!
Pumpkin seeds are a good source of magnesium (and a lot of different nuts) and can be eaten with your favorite game! "Pass the chocolate covered pumpkin seeds!" but easy on the beer!
You'll know when you have too much magnesium! 😱
Dr Brad is a baby boomer?
Increase magnesium as you feel a difference!😁
Decrease magnesium as you feel a difference! 😲
Magnesium can help with leg cramps! And heart palpitations, etc.
Plant based foods are good sources of magnesium!
Dr Paul would still like chicken wings but hasn't figured out how to coat them with magnesium! 💊💊💊
Did I miss anything? 🤔
Thanks for sharing another memorable video! 👍
Sure I know there were a lot of other things but I didn't want to plagiarize your video! 😋 I just provide a synopsis! 😚
That is awesome Vickie!!!! But no both too young to be boomers 😀
This is almost as funny as their videos! LOL!! Thanks for the laugh 🤣
Magnesium and also magnesium with L-theanine. I believe I am reaping the health benefits but there seems to be zero effect in the sleep department.
Keep up the great work with these videos, they are my go to, and I recommend them to everyone.😊
@@TalkingWithDocs I took a third glance since I know I heard that word and Dr Paul told Dr Brad that he was such a boomer for still writing checks each month for the office.
You're not old enough to be a boomer, he was just inferring you were acting like one. 😋
You guys rock! Magnesium PI?lol funny. I dnt want to take magnesium yet. I just had my colonoscopy , I remember the day before the procedure 😅😅😅. Thank you anyway. Love you guys
Thank you Very informative.
I find my self watching you two often - enjoy your hunger kindness dedication.
Please keep sharing.
Thanks guys. Hugely informative for my needs
Thank you for producing excellent and informative videos without the nauseating hype and sensationalism of some of the other medical information channels. Please do one on spinal stenosis.
Thanks a lot. We are more about the humour than the hype for sure who had spinal stenosis to the list and try to get a spinal surgeon as a guest.
I had terrible time sleeping because I woke to pee every hour. I started taking 300mg of citrate at night, and now I sleep! Waking once. It has also relaxed me over all. ❤
Sweet
U guys are the greatest because your humor+interactions=knowledge easier to absorb !
The complete opposite of those boring,
boring college professors that speak in
monotone and have no humor in the delivery.
THANK YOU

I’m so glad for this program THANK YOU
Oh, man! This is a good topic for sure. As a diabetic with hypertension & arthritis, I think I should discuss this with my dr.
For sure ME Pat
Awww thanks guys you do an amazing job 🙌🏻👏🏻 keep up the great work 😊❤️
Thanks so much Angela
Thanks for taking the time to provide us the information. We always need some knowledgeable people to help navigate thru all this info.
Doing our best will. It’s a jungle out there.
How refreshing to see people actually qualified to talk about this !! Excellent explanations. And lots ofncommon sense.
Doing our best
I’m so grateful for your advice I’ve learned so much from watching your videos. With regard to magnesium supplements you rather glossed over which ones you advise, I feel this could have been made clearer.
There are honestly so many. Oxide and sulfate have the lowest absorption. Many people prefer the glycine version. Also citrate or aspartate.
i love that i know you’re canadians as soon as you said “e-transfer!” haha great video.
Fabulous advice. I really like the simplicity and humor with which you present your topics. I did not realize that you shouldn't take Magnesium and Zinc simultaneously, which I was doing! Thanks gentlemen, much appreciate your help.
Love you guys. Like Bob and Doug McKenzie went to medical school. Seriously: great format, fun banter, and most importantly strong, well-referenced content.
I take magnesium every day to help lower my blood pressure. When I had a surgery recently the doctors gave me a magnesium drip afterwards. 😊
Yes another reason to take it for sure
It's been a game changer for sleep for sure!
When do you take ? Certain time in the day?
I take magnesium every evening for years. Helps me relax and sleep.
Great strategy Evelyn
I still get up to pee!
what dosage?
What brand 💯🧠🎤
@@lindaguida4074mmm might need to get your kidneys checked
VERY INTERESTING DETAIL IN YOUR ADVICE ,OF WHAT TO TAKE, AND WHY...HEALTH WISE.....sound advice, thank you.
Had to review this again. Thanks for this video. Now I have it written down for reference!!.
I’m literally in tears. I been taking PPI’s for months after my surgery and I can’t thank you guys enough for sharing this. Headed to get Magnesium NOW!!
PPI lead me to SIBO/IMO and gallstones. And then overgrowth of Candida Alabicans thanks to the rounds of systemic antibiotics. Not junk Xifaxian that isn't absorbed. So yeast built up and then lead to leaky gut bc the yeast is highly opportunistic and fills in the areas where bacteria used to reside and then it wears down the junctions like nothing else and then I began with the food sensitivities. Not bc it's the actual food that is the problem. It's that when it leaks through and your immune system identifies it as foreign. So from then on it knows to look for that in particular. It's like it assigns post-its. But that will subside one you are able to heal your gut. L-Glutamine powder is helping. Anyways so then that lead to Hashimoto's which has now led to overt Hypothyroidism. Things snowballed so badly bc of the horrible healthcare system. Actually if it weren't for researching things myself and holding provider's hands and asking then to perform certain tests....then actually having to read my own results AND on 2 occasions tell them what to prescribe......I'd probably be dead. I just want to tell people on every platform I am on....be proactive in your own care as much as you can. Especially if your insurance affords you public defender type care. Care where your provider has a million patients and your insurance pays them nothing and they accept nothing bc they are completely subpar in their medical competency and they are aware of that so you see them for 20 mins every 3 months and u walk out not knowing why you are so sick but literally nothing was really done. Just like public defenders. You get a "free" attorney who is also crappy and lazy and they totally know it and they are taxed and so you're not going to get service as if you paid out of pocket for a private attorney. You will leave court and head straight to prison. Just like you will leave a doctor's office and head straight back to you're own prison. You're better off defending yourself. OK that's not true in court. Lol. Except traffic cases, perhaps. But hopefully you get the picture. Doctor's pump Protonix and other Rx pump inhibitors like candy and tell u to take it everyday and are willing to do that indefinitely. No! Horrible. No one needs it indefinitely so make sure that if one is prescribed, you know exactly the reason. And if it's not for a short duration....then ask questions bc it shouldn't not have an end date.
@@zephyrhills8070 I went through a similar thing. It took years to get better. How did you deal with the candida overgrowth and leaky gut?
@@zephyrhills8070who is telling you to take PPI’s indefinitely? Most doctors recommend trials, depending on the indication, which can help you figure out the next step in management. That could be lifestyle changes or even surgical management amongst myriad other solutions.
@@zephyrhills8070hey I was on extensive courses of antibiotics and I've noticed huge changes with my bowel movements, did you notice changes when you used magnesium?
I work outdoors in the Florida heat, and I'm diabetic. I must've had a magnesium deficiency for years because as soon as I started taking magnesium supplements, there was a huge improvement in my mood and my sleep. Like life altering. A coworker recommended it to me and I'm so glad I listened to him. Best decision I've ever made.
Ps- I take 200mg with breakfast and another 200mg with dinner.
Amazing Canadian content! I am liking, subscribing & sharing. 👍🏾
Thank you, Drs.
Excellent info'.
🕊☺
Hey Docs! I’m a laboratory technologist and we have quite a few patients who are hypomagnesemic. My coworkers and I have always wondered what some of the symptoms and causes of this condition are. This video was a great explanation, thank you for the info!
Excited to get in to my Night Shift and share this information with my colleagues!
That's so awesome Ryan!
@@TalkingWithDocs you didn’t answer his question
@@user-nj9rf6zm2x He didn't have a question! It was a Thank you!
I asked my cardiologist and pharmacist about magnesium taurate and they both said my blood work put me at 2.0 and I don't need any extra magnesium in any form .
Any thoughts on thier reactions?
At least my pharmacist said it wouldn't effect my warfarin levels .
Lol wheres the question @@user-nj9rf6zm2x
Love watching your videos ❤
Very informative
Thank you
Thanks Elisabeta!
Great video with so much valuable info. Thank you.❤
Thanks Gian!
Thank you guys, great information as always❣️
Thanks for doing videos on vitamins and minerals. And also thanks for bring up the form people can take and how that can affect uptake. It seems intuitive that as we get older our bodies lose efficiency in their ability to be able to utilize a lot of the vitamins and minerals it needs. I don't know how true it is---just sems that way
It is true Fregf. We need to adapt
I take magnesium glycinate everyday to help me relax and sleep better. Also, I tend to get cramps in my legs at night and tingly feet, and magnesium helps! Can’t live without it. Thank you, guys, for educating with humor-the best way to make a dry topic memorable and enjoyable! You two are the best!
Glad to hear it Joanne. Doing our best!
hi, do you take magnesium glycinate with water or with food?
How much do you take as I have the same symptoms
Do hard to get up though
@@TalkingWithDocs will magnesium raise your Hematocrit or Hemoglobin if already borderline? I guess what I am asking does it effect red blood cells?
Interesting timing. Just listened to a first responder podcast and the doctor on there also was talkig about the benefits of magnesium as was a physician on the twittersphere. Anecdotally, after seeing comments made relating to magnesium and BP I started taking it late last year. My numbers have improved dramatically. I shall continue to monitor obviously but I feel the correlation should not be ignored. Thanks for all the insight, and let us know when you guys are taking on new patients ;)
Hi Coco. Thanks for sharing and for the feedback!
You two make my day! Brilliant! ❤️ 😊
I started using it before bed to relax and sleep faster. Having had a spinal fusion i have chronic pain and this I found has helped me immensely at night. Helps take off the edge from nerve pain. ❤❤
I love watching you two! I have chronic migraines and I’ve been chasing some kind of relief for years. My newest neurologist began his treatment protocol with magnesium supplements. We will see how it goes😉
Good luck
I take OTC sinus/ allergy pain meds for migraine. Helps beyond!
Great video, thank you.
Excellent presentation as always! ❤️

I take Magnesium Glycinate. My doctor recommended it for my leg cramps. I find I have to double the dosage in the summer with the heat. I find it relaxes me and I take it 2 hours before bed. I sleep much better. I have found since taking it that my hair is growing faster, my hair is getting darker (less grey) and it keeps my bowel movements regular. Thank you for your videos - keep up the great work!!!
Love the shoes - incredibly helpful.
You doctors are so much fun to listen to. Really enjoy your explanation to health issues. 😅
Thanks Candy!
I started taking 200mg of magnesium glycinate a few months ago for sleep and for a muscle relaxant. It took me a while for my body to acclimate to the magnesium as it caused bathroom issues the next day, but I kept taking it and all that stopped and I have no issues with my gut from it now. Overall I actually feel better and sleep is great!
Well said and explained!
Thanks for Sharing 😊
Thanks for this, good information. I have celiac disease and for a long time had disturbed sleep and a lots of flickering and cramping in my muscles. I was recommended to take magnesium bisglycinate as it is more easily absorbed, especially in those of us with compromised guts, and now I sleep much better and no more flickering in my eyelids! It feels so much better!
That makes sense Liz. Glad to hear it
Just discovered this channel. Excellent job of keeping people interested with a healthy dose of humor. This subject caught my eye immediately because I've been researching the benefits of magnesium in the last few weeks. However from what I've learned , the best form of mag supplementation is 'bisglycinate', it allows the highest absorption because of its increased solubility, and has minimal laxative effects, and the glycine is a neurotransmitter that helps with sleep and relaxation. As you said, zinc interferes with mag absorption, but it is also a vital mineral, just take them at different times, and remember zinc lowers your copper levels, so eat foods rich in copper to balance the zinc copper depletion.
Well said. Thanks for watching!
I’m so happy we have our own Canadian doctors on RUclips I enjoy they humours blessings doctors 🙏🙏
You sure do! And we are glad to be here
What an episode! You guys are great.
That is very high Praise William. Thank you.
Another interesting video. Although I eat peanuts, pumpkin and chia seeds everyday, I also take about 300mg of Mag Glycinate because I read that it is the best form for bones. I have osteopenia.
It seems to be one of the best forms
My doctor prescribed 400mg because of heart palpitations and leg cramps about a year ago. Both have improved tremendously since taking the magnesium. I’m also regulated now .
That is great LJ
Which magnesium are you taking?
@@pamelabagwell4190 same thing I asked. I have citrate but idk if that’s the right type
@@pamelabagwell4190 magnesium oxide 400 mg. I have a deficiency. You probably should check with your doctor to see what type is best for you.
Hello, Docs! As always, I am grateful for the clear information without the product endorsement. Thank you!

Thanks Cheryl
My Doc recommended it for relief from leg cramps at night. It worked.
Awesome MH

Thanks Cheyenne!
Thanks docs I have insomnia so going to try this. Anything else you can recommend for this condition. Your vid’s are extremely Healthful.
Hey Joe. Magnesium seems to be the best supplement. We do have a video about generalized sleep hygiene which outlines things to do and avoid to help sleep better. Best of luck
I feel much better after taking magnesium for so many of the things mentioned here. Great video,
Glad to hear it MArie
I was taking magnesium at the same time as a zinc supplement. Thank you for letting me know this stops the magnesium absorption. You two are the best.
You can take them together as long as the zinc does is not super high. Welcome
@@TalkingWithDocs I've been told that too much magnesium can cause a heart issues why are you recommending to much magnesium to the General Public
@@tilwedie23 supplementing up to 500mg, per their recommendation, is not too much for an otherwise healthy normal adult.
@@tilwedie23 not true - check your source

This is definitely good information for me. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
I’m a plant based eater, but had horrible anxiety. I supplement with Magnesium Glycinate and no longer have heart palpitations. I heard other doctors say that stress, sugar deplete our magnesium. They also said that our food doesn’t have enough magnesium because of our soil. And I eat lots of beans, greens, and pumpkin seeds. I feel amazing having found magnesium.
Nice Joelle!
If stress does I'm well into the negatives
As a post- menopausal female, I recently began taking magnesium citrate to see if it would help alleviate my chronic sleep issues and sluggish colon. I am happy to report that it has greatly helped both issues. I wish I had known about its effects long ago!

Hello. Thank you for this informative piece. I have been taking magnesium for years as part of a multilayered attempt to minimize migraines. I appreciated learning that citrate is a form that my body may better absorb.
Yes migraines are on the list!
@@TalkingWithDocs Hello from Connecticut! I've recently discovered your channel and I SO appreciate all the information and professional advice you provide. I scanned the comments for migraine, as I was once advised by a neurologist to take 500 mg per day, along with 200 mg of CoQ10, twice per day (the latter, I believe, was in reference to a family history of Alzheimer's). In your opinions, is this a good dosage/combination for migraines, and, as someone who has had a brief history of kidney stones in the past, is it safe to take this amount of magnesium without developing any stones? I'm a 50 year-old woman in good health, and a vegetarian. My only medical issue is Hashimoto's, which I manage with levothyroxine. Thanks again!
After years of migraines, had a doctor advise magnesium. Started right away with 500 mg. daily. Have never had another migraine. So grateful!
And here I thought my significant other was causing these symptoms! 😂 Docs, you guys are rock stars! Sometimes I still regret choosing finance over medicine. Keep up delivering information with humor to us RUclipsrs!
Thank you for your excellent information and very helping us
So welcome
You are the Bob & Doug McKenzie of doc’s! Love you guys!
Now that’s a compliment! Take off Eh! You hoser

Thanks Phil. Glad that’s working for you. Thanks for sharing
I'm 70, and I have taken 400mg of magnesium citrate/malate daily for many years for sleep and to prevent migraines. It works well.
Citrate would be much better absorbed!
I tried magnesium oxide but didn’t help me much but the glycinate helps better
@@LuwanaWard1974 gycinate is more for sleep issues i need to get the gycinate bc i wake up like every 2 to 3 hours a night. The next day I’m sleepy. Thought it was an getting older thing. Maybe it is idk lol

You are so welcome!
I love you guys. I have been taking magnesium for sleep and constipation. I also have celiac and osteoporosis and never knew it was helpful for these conditions. I wish you made videos for doctors. Do you know how hard it is to get a primary care physician to address nutritional deficiencies?
Yes it’s difficult. A lot of it relates to the interest of the doctor in issues like this. What we put in our mouth is so important
It hard because you can just ignore primary care physicians, who may i remind you go to medical school for 7 years and come out thinking osteoporosis is a mystery and just eat calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, and magnesium oxide from rocks and you'll wonder why you every thought you had to go to a doctor in the first place.
Are you relieved of your constipation and sleep problems?
A lot of doctors, unfortunately, don't talk much about nutrition and only prescribe medications that work as temporary bandaids which treat symptoms rather than eliminate the root cause. A lot of illnesses can have a nutritional deficiency source (gut imbalances too). I had to pay almost 500$ for an appointment with a functional doctor to get my vitamins and minerals tested. Even when doing blood and urine work at a PCP, those did not test for every vitamin and mineral I was deficient in. So my blood and urine tests could be perfectly fine (and they were) but my nutritional mineral scan showed I had a ton of deficiencies. I'm taking a daily multivitamin and a magnesium supplement on the side which I hope can correct some of the deficiencies I have. Also spending time in the sun given that it's spring so I can get my vitamin D in.
@@tvviewer4500 Of course calcium and magnesium are great for bone health. But make sure you take vitamin D with it, otherwise, the calcium ions will end up in your arterial walls and kidneys, forming plaques and kidney stones. Vitamin D is a hormone that controls the bioavailability of calcium and phosphorus in the body.
I read that increasing magnesium decreases migraine headaches - any thoughts ? Keep up the excellent work, such entertaining and informative videos. Thank you.
Yea there is some evidence that supplements can help the causes of migraines
I absolutely love you shows what a RUclips channel. They’re great and you guys are too.😅
I like they format.
You guys are great!
I really enjoy your videos!
Kind of unrelated to this topic, but I had a total knee replacement done on my left knee 10/25/22 and my right knee 3/17/23. Your videos helped me so much! I really appreciate the knowledge and information you pass along and the fact that you enjoy yourselves so much while doing it!! 😁
Wow Audra that is awesome. So glad we could help in any small way. All the best!
I do take magnesium glycinate 100mg. I'm thinking about taking 200mg. I have Polycystic ovary syndrome. This can cause insulin resistance. I felt tired, fatigue and depressed. It has helped me with the above symptoms. I need to incorporate more of the foods you mentioned that might help. Thank you for this video. Very helpful for me.
Good luck Lynne!

That's so interesting as my magnesium supplements are with added Zinc!!! I'll try to find some without Zinc since listening to your advice. I actually learned so much from this episode, you guys are so good at this. I wonder how you find the time as you must be so busy with your day jobs but we all appreciate the effort and advice for sure.
Hi Tess. Don’t change just yet! That study was for very high doses of zinc. Smaller doses are ok actually. Thanks for watching
Except there's no mention of taking a mineral bath with epsom salts (magnesium sulphate). Dr Teals is a very common brand that's sold at most grocery stores and Walmart. Also they don't mention why magnesium gives you diarrhea, because it draws water into the intestines (which is why it's also used as a laxative).
@@austindarrenor they did talk about diarrhea. They mentioned pooping a lot in the video. How did you miss all the poop references?
@@threegoodeyes7400 I didn't miss them. But joking about pooping isn't the same as serious diarrhea. And they didn't say why. Magnesium draws water into your intestines. The proof is it's used as a laxative ie Milk of Magnesia and epsom salt (magnesium sulphate).
Yo that’s very wrong! Zinc and magnesium is great together..
Thanks guys. Keep up these very educational and fun videos. I am type-2 diabetic and you mentioned that it can help with blood sugar level swings. I seem to have dawn effect where my blood sugar level spikes some time overnight and is higher in the mornings when I get up. Would magnesium help?
The spike in blood Sugar is the body's way of waking you in the morning thanks to hormones triggering the blood glucose rise in the early morning

Years ago I had times when my heart beat would go through the ceiling. It could happen at any time, even while asleep. The cardiologist I was sent to told me to take magnesium lactate and after a while my heart settled down. I took it for years, and finally stopped. It seems to have done its job because I still don't have any problems like that!
That’s good news Miss Helen
Magnesium Citrate 500 mg q d keeps me in a sweet spot, both with sleep and with my morning constitution. And then I supplement that with Talking With Docs videos for a healthy dose of knowledge and laughter.

What time of day do you take Magnesium?
Typically in the AM, and most often with my first meal of the day... and sometimes I take it later w/o food. @@donaldbarker8162
