I was struggling with 405 deadlift the last month or so. Always felt like my traps were tearing out of my body when trying to lift it. Literally the first time I tried increasing sodium pre-workout, I lifted 405 with none of the muscle tear feeling! Not saying I could lift more weight. Just made my performance so much better!
I appreciate your posts about coffee because you truly validate me. I grew up Mormon and therefore not drinking any coffee. When I left my Christian beliefs I started drinking coffee and, without knowing, started doing IF by skipping breakfast and lunch, and having coffee and tea instead. I lost weight and felt and looked my best EVER, but then I got sciatica and that pretty much destroyed everything for me. 10 years later I’m 60 pounds heavier and I am brainwashed now with a raw vegan style diet that I continue to fail and I am utterly sedentary. I thought this morning, I’m not going to eat breakfast and maybe start intermittent fasting, but around lunch I was ready to break my fast. Instead, I made a big mug of coffee and I started watching RUclips channel and found you-I just subscribed and to your IG. Thank you for sharing what works for you; I had forgotten what worked for me in the past, but I’m ready to start listening to my body again. The videos about salt are also important. Much love!

Stand is the most knowledgeable human being in the planet when it comes to nutrition. And his vertical diet is the most comprehensive that I have ever read. On top of that he speaks so eloquently, a true gem.
Love love love this! I limited salt for years! (Because of misinformation from doctor) Until I discovered you two guys a few years ago. It didn't take long for me to feel it. Adding (healthy) salt to my daily routine has made a huge difference! Feel better and energy is always there! Thank you for what you guys do!!!!
As always, fantastic information. The conversation with Stan was informative and eye opening. I will increase my salt intake commensurate with my activity. Thank You Thomas, and to Stan.
I increased my salt intake with pink and sea salt for the sodium and "lite salt" for the potassium and iodine starting in 2017. My blood numbers have been reliably flat even though my intake increased significantly (I wasn't a big "salter" for my foods).
I love these 2 guys! I watch every video that they're in and post. I love to see 2 or more of my favorites doing a joint video. Us that are constantly looking to improve our lifting and workouts can improve our performance by watching and learning from people such as these 2. Thank you, guys, for all that you do for us!
I actually would oversalt my food but didn’t exercise while on keto (have a demanding desk job) and, ya, no bueno. I was getting the weirdest depressed feelings and when I saw dr bergs video and Thomas vids as well, I remember that oversalting is beneficial for physically active people. I took the salt out and my weird bout of depression went away, and I only add it when I know I’ll be doing some intensive physical type of work or when I feel tired (from some type of physical activity).
I’ve been using salt wherever and not worrying about amounts but I’ve never tried using it before the gym. I’m going to try tomorrow and see if it helps with the workout, many thanks!
No mention of getting a blood test. I realize that magnesium is mostly found in our organ cells but even so, wouldn't getting routine metabolic panels help inform someone's salt supplementation? For example, my sodium levels have been running around 131 to 136 when the normal range is 137 to 145. Same for chloride: 95 to 99 with a normal range of 98 to 107. When I ask about this with my doctor, their eyes glaze over. All of them -- specialists, GPs, etc.... I recently had a short arrythmia drinking a cold smoothie and it left me with continuous palpitations. It is only now improving because I have started to add salt to my diet for the first time ever. But only thanks to my having gotten the metabolic panel blood tests.
I lowered my sodium down to around 2000mg and I stopped having heart palpitations, headaches and many other dehydration symptoms, sleep issues, low energy and fatigue, excessive cramping, pretty much fixed everything. Wasn’t overweight when these things happened always had a very physical job so I am in shape and I eat clean. I think what people miss with the sodium debate is the potassium to sodium ratio which is what helped me a lot. But maybe I’m just sodium sensitive idk
No one talks about water it's 2nd most important thing for us. You guys need my water I make. The salt your looking for is baking soda or sodium bicarbonate. It's an electrolyte salt which is needed for energy production by cells. Also it cuts down lactic acid in your muscles when working out. Water is nasty just easy to get. You need distilled water that has 0 ppm filtered water has 300ppm that's part per million of blood, pee, poop, pills you name it. Distilled water is a fancy name for pure water. You take a gallon of pure water and add you electrolytes back in. Magnesium bicarbonate, sodium bicarbonate, and potassium bicarbonate. And use ascorbic acid as a catalyst to convert your magnesium. This is true Gatorade. An electrolyte salt Is what all those ingredients are. SALT. GATORADE HAS NONE. bicarbonate means it's bio available to your body. SALT is the key to life I saw this many years ago. It is the great preserver we got paid in salt that's were the word salary comes from. In Leonardo's painting the last supper the salt is spilled over. If the ocean was not salt the Earth wouldn't have so much energy.
I'd be interested too. I extract into coconut oil. The extract ends up at 1/4 tsp for 10mg [similar to gummies but no sugar and way better than smoking on several levels]. Beyond that id like to hear about how the side effects of appetite increases effects insulin and other hormones, especially when fasted. I remember it was going on for companies looking into appetite suppression(for diabetes) and increase( for cancer patients). Maybe some suggestions on better times of day to "med up" in conjunction with fasting, eating, or exercising [ i can't do HIT, only LIT].
Salt 🧂 is not thine enemy; many are simply afraid of🧂 and just do not get enough; but they need to especially on Keto; we know our body utilizes🧂 to ⚖️ fluids in blood, keeps healthy BP, required for muscle, nerve to work properly; ensure you keep the amount of🧂in check - a little🧂 in your diet is absolutely necessary.

Please do a video on calcific tendonitis and stuff like Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis) caused by vitamin D-3 overdose mixed with insufficient magnesium and vitamin K2 (should we take MK-4 and MK-7 or the latter only?).

However my D levels are (measured today) 34 ng/DL. Once I discontinued supplements, the pain started to go away (it's not 100% gone, I predict it will next 15-30 days). My suspicious is that being inactive + loading on D3 revealed a repetitive strain injury that was bound to be there somewhere in the future. I stopped going to a gym ever since this COVID crisis started and spend most of my time using a PC. I also bought BORON 3 mg from NOW, to start supplementing sooner.

Hey John, I switched to drinking a coffee alternative called Dandy blend. It is made from dandelion and chicory. It has no caffeine. For me, coffee suppressed my hunger and also affected my ability to fall into a deep sleep. (I did not need my hunger to be suppressed as I eat healthy keto. And being on a higher fat diet, I don't feel hungry much anyways.)
How do i know how much salt i need in my diet? and which salt should i intake? I was told sea salt with iodine but then i was told pink himalayan salt..I currently drink at least 2 packets of LMNT electrolyte drink mix a day, one with my morning cardio and then one while im lifting however i've noticed even with this there have been times when i've felt slightly crampy in my legs or if i get up too fast i get light headed. I try to get more potassium in but its pretty hard in a calorie deficit and my blood pressure is perfectly fine..i also do drink a lot of water, any help or tips would be greatly appreciated!
This is gonna sound like a cop out answer. It took me awhile to realize that sometimes my cravings for salty, crunchy foods was actually a need for more water. Likewise, I noticed that sweet cravings were a need for more salt. I started making my own pink salt capsules and potassium capsules. I am doing keto and quickly realized that the tiny amounts of potassium in electrolyte mixes were not gonna cut it. I also take magnesium glycinate and calcium. Sorry for the redundancy. I commented before I watched the whole video.
@@anonanon6729 which pptassium supplement do you take? I have a hard time getting over 2500mg of potassium a day, and I do eat a relatively healthy diet but during this cut it's hard
@@jgoldian47 I like pureplanet sports salts. It has potassium, magnesium, and pink salt. I do make my own capsules (2) 750 mg of potassium citrate or bicarbonate. And I take those with (2) 750 mg pink salt capsules. Amazon does sell potassium capsules. (Just be aware, typically potassium citrate is capped at 99 mg but other forms you can purchase in a higher mg dose.) Kudos getting that much potassium. I'm also on a cut and getting around 2000 mg from diet. If you take pink salt capsules, don't take them when your tummy is absolutely full of food.
I also make a workout drink with green tea infused with berries, lemon juice, stevia, and 1/4 to 1/2 tsp pink salt. I'm glad to know I'm not overdoing the salt, haha. I'd be curious to do one of those salt patch tests.
Are the LMNT electrolytes packets are ok to consume for an average person that just walks everyday, and some hiking on some days.. not really sweating a sweating.
Thomas, can you clarify something? In a video you did 3 years ago with Stan Efferding, titled "How LOW Salt Intake Makes You GAIN Fat", you equated iodized table salt with low quality restaurant salt, which can leave you feeling bloated, etc. In that video, you also recommended taking Redmond's real salt. But, in this video, Stan says there's really not much difference. Has the science been update to Stan's view, or have you changed your stance on this? I have been getting treated for hypothyroidism for a couple of years now, and I'm trying to find the culprit. I'm otherwise healthy and fairly well-built (former drug-free bodybuilder with 2 State championships and a National championship). Any guidance is much appreciated.
Realize this as a teenager if you're an athlete or have a active lifestyle you may need to replace the salt in your body that you can lose threw physical activity. (CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR AND A CERTIFIED MEDICAL NUTRITIONIST FIRST)
I am on a CPAP, I am trying to lose weight with a combo of Keto and the gym (last two weeks or so). My BP has gone through the roof!!! Like dangerously high. Should I stop Keto and the gym? My Dr. is an idiot and anti keto, I did it a few years ago (with no gym) and lost 130 lbs. Right now I am 313 lbs, trying to reign that in and get to where I was. The weight gain is a whole other story. But the last time I was this fat my BP was 135/80. then went to normal when I lost a bunch of weight.
I would tell you to try getting additional potassium. And for affirmation, there's tons of reviews on several amazon potassium supplements where people talked about reducing their blood pressure. And they were angry their doctors never mentioned that option.
I've lost 100lbs in 3 months and 200lbs in 9months with keto/gym work-all while doing blood work at VA just in case I was doing it wrong. Congrats on your weight loss! I would suggest a green shake-this will lower your BP-so good for your blood/heart. The ingredients are important-go to whole foods or wherever you can get organic greens. I go there twice a month, load up the greens and then put them in like six medium tupperware containers and put in freezer (fridge and they go bad). This what I get, two batches of organic beets with a lot of healthy leaves (I toss the beats-too much sugar/fructose, I keep the leaves-tremendous potassium)-I use 2-3 leaves per container, 2-3 batches of organic red dandelion leaves-use 1/2-1 cup per container (container I'm talking about is what you would put in each green shake), one thing of organic kale, organic parsley, organic brussel sprouts, organic asparagus, organic baby spinach, turmeric root, ginger root (1tbsp-container). I also add organic chia seeds, organic wheat grass, ACV, black pepper (for the turmeric), sea salt, cinnamon, little bit of cream of tartar, 2 cups of alkaline water from costco and a good healthy pea protein (chocolate)-1 scoop to kill the taste of the health ingredients. This makes about 40+ ounces so I put it into two cups. I have one right then and put the other in the fridge for the next days 1 st meal. I will have it after my walk/weight training, but absolutely my first meal. Gives you great energy and is great for the blood/heart. I also just chug it calmly, takes about 40 seconds and I'm done with it. It kicks in about 30 mins later, I then have a good solid 2 nd meal with pastured raised eggs, onion, crimini mushrooms, bacon, ghee butter and sriracha avocado mayo-very tasty and it satisfies me. Good luck with your weight loss.
Love Stan and love the idea of salt pre workout. However, being a cardiac nurse, his head these days makes him look like his blood pressure is through the roof? Sincerely hope he's doing OK health wise.
My swelling will not go down when I increase sodium. 55 yr old female... workout 6 days/wk heavy lifting 1 hour workouts,(for 25 years) low blood pressure, need to lose about 8 - 10lbs to cut more.. why won't I stop swelling??
You are probably not getting enough potassium then? Sodium and potassium numbers affect each other. High in in one will knock out the other unless you are getting in a lot of both.
Here’s a good book. The Salt Fix- by DR James DiNicolantonio. Go watch his interview on high intensity health, it’s a good watch. It was from a few years.
I think it also matters HUGELY on what type of salt! Those that are salt sensitive I think is in part also due to the type of regular grocery store iodized salt! This is not the salt our bodies need!
He have a red head. Maybe high blood pressure? Especially processed food contains high amount salt. No good advice. Enjoy the pure taste of food without added salt.
Wait, after listening to the rest of this, Thomas, you say, "I totally agree" that table salt is a goodie? Hmm, well look what I found that you said 5 yrs ago about "unopposed sodium." Is that no longer a thing? lol. Sodium: Which Salt Minimizes Water Retention? - Thomas DeLauer ruclips.net/video/ztFWDp_zy40/видео.html
Um, total BS that table salt is the same as natural/real salt. "Caking agents" don't matter? Uh, they matter, especially over time. And especially if you're eating a lot of it, lol. And those "insignificant" amounts of minerals in the real salt, well, maybe consider quality over quantity. Honestly, just because you're all bulked up, that doesn't mean your health is all that. I'm sitting here wondering why you look like ppl with high-blood pressure, all red in the face and neck. And your eyes don't look well. Kinda red/yellow, and glazed over. Not nice, clear and white like Delauer's eyes. You also have a bit of crinkling tween the eyes, and that's a liver thing. I'm thinkin' those "caking agents" and maybe too many franken substances (table salt) and maybe an excess of supplements are all creepin' up on ya'. Try respecting the wisdom of nature over your often-wrong science-y ones. Hint, see what they've done to our planet with all their franken sh*t.
I dont get it, Stan diet and nutrition is complete opposite to your keto diets, Stan is absolutely right and I follow his advice religiously as his first goal is to give correct nutritional advice to ppl and business secondary which is contradictory to your channel that revolves on whatever sells for your bottom line, must be hard truth for you to accept!

So much value thanks for the great education
I stopped buying “electrolyte drinks” and use Lite salt. Has roughly 50/50 Na/K mix. Mix with a sugar free flavor, cheaper and more effective.

Are the LMNT electrolytes packets are ok to consume for an average person that just walks everyday, and some hiking on some days.. not really sweating a sweating.
Heard nothing of the importance of the right ratio of sodium to potassium. Is this even of importance when the body regulates sodium itself?
Thomas, can you clarify something? In a video you did 3 years ago with Stan Efferding, titled "How LOW Salt Intake Makes You GAIN Fat", you equated iodized table salt with low quality restaurant salt, which can leave you feeling bloated, etc. In that video, you also recommended taking Redmond's real salt. But, in this video, Stan says there's really not much difference. Has the science been update to Stan's view, or have you changed your stance on this? I have been getting treated for hypothyroidism for a couple of years now, and I'm trying to find the culprit. I'm otherwise healthy and fairly well-built (former drug-free bodybuilder with 2 State championships and a National championship). Any guidance is much appreciated.
I only get the free sample pack if I order a 30 day pack....
I use salt as my pre-workout and you definitely can feel the difference, specially for those of us that do low carb.
It’s sad these dont get more views everytime I try to explain to my buddies they need more salt they act like I’m absolutely crazy
Realize this as a teenager if you're an athlete or have a active lifestyle you may need to replace the salt in your body that you can lose threw physical activity. (CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR AND A CERTIFIED MEDICAL NUTRITIONIST FIRST)
Logic fallacy here. absence of evidence to restrict (
I am on a CPAP, I am trying to lose weight with a combo of Keto and the gym (last two weeks or so). My BP has gone through the roof!!! Like dangerously high. Should I stop Keto and the gym? My Dr. is an idiot and anti keto, I did it a few years ago (with no gym) and lost 130 lbs. Right now I am 313 lbs, trying to reign that in and get to where I was. The weight gain is a whole other story. But the last time I was this fat my BP was 135/80. then went to normal when I lost a bunch of weight.
I would tell you to try getting additional potassium. And for affirmation, there's tons of reviews on several amazon potassium supplements where people talked about reducing their blood pressure. And they were angry their doctors never mentioned that option.
I've lost 100lbs in 3 months and 200lbs in 9months with keto/gym work-all while doing blood work at VA just in case I was doing it wrong. Congrats on your weight loss! I would suggest a green shake-this will lower your BP-so good for your blood/heart. The ingredients are important-go to whole foods or wherever you can get organic greens. I go there twice a month, load up the greens and then put them in like six medium tupperware containers and put in freezer (fridge and they go bad). This what I get, two batches of organic beets with a lot of healthy leaves (I toss the beats-too much sugar/fructose, I keep the leaves-tremendous potassium)-I use 2-3 leaves per container, 2-3 batches of organic red dandelion leaves-use 1/2-1 cup per container (container I'm talking about is what you would put in each green shake), one thing of organic kale, organic parsley, organic brussel sprouts, organic asparagus, organic baby spinach, turmeric root, ginger root (1tbsp-container). I also add organic chia seeds, organic wheat grass, ACV, black pepper (for the turmeric), sea salt, cinnamon, little bit of cream of tartar, 2 cups of alkaline water from costco and a good healthy pea protein (chocolate)-1 scoop to kill the taste of the health ingredients. This makes about 40+ ounces so I put it into two cups. I have one right then and put the other in the fridge for the next days 1 st meal. I will have it after my walk/weight training, but absolutely my first meal. Gives you great energy and is great for the blood/heart. I also just chug it calmly, takes about 40 seconds and I'm done with it. It kicks in about 30 mins later, I then have a good solid 2 nd meal with pastured raised eggs, onion, crimini mushrooms, bacon, ghee butter and sriracha avocado mayo-very tasty and it satisfies me. Good luck with your weight loss.
@@johndermenof1703 wow! Thank you for that info!
How can I DM Thomas delauer?
I'm having this problem rightnow..about salt intake
Here thru RUclips
what about Unopposed Potassium?
Trying to use link to get lmnt sample pkg but only see offer for 120pkg count , then website does not offer sample pkg either
Love Stan and love the idea of salt pre workout. However, being a cardiac nurse, his head these days makes him look like his blood pressure is through the roof? Sincerely hope he's doing OK health wise.
My swelling will not go down when I increase sodium. 55 yr old female... workout 6 days/wk heavy lifting 1 hour workouts,(for 25 years) low blood pressure, need to lose about 8 - 10lbs to cut more.. why won't I stop swelling??
Improper balance between sodium, magnesium and potassium would be my guess.
Hey I’m the first one lmao …. Why am I so excited about it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😏😏😏😏😏
I have no idea
For a second I thought Stan was Goldberg you know the wrestler
LMNT is an atrocious supplement with an even more atrocious price tag. Its mostly salt with an insane markup. Just had to mention that.
Stan didn’t get the salty joke lol
so 7000mg sodium on a workout day... but how much on a NON-Workout day???
When I have too much salt I wake up with leg cramps.
You are probably not getting enough potassium then?
Sodium and potassium numbers affect each other. High in in one will knock out the other unless you are getting in a lot of both.
probably cut down on salt and increase potassium intake instead
Here’s a good book. The Salt Fix- by DR James DiNicolantonio.
Go watch his interview on high intensity health, it’s a good watch. It was from a few years.

Why are Stan's head and eyes so red?
PEDs causing oxidative stress.
@@incorectulpolitic makes sense…thanks!

I don't know if I can trust Stan on salt. He rivals the redness of a tomato, unless that's all the drugs doing that.
I was wondering the same thing, both head and eyes extremely red
@@zachmiller4930 thats just how his skin is. My dads the same way. He doesnt take peds or none of tha shit. He doesnt eat 10 grams of sodium a day.
I think it also matters HUGELY on what type of salt! Those that are salt sensitive I think is in part also due to the type of regular grocery store iodized salt! This is not the salt our bodies need!
He have a red head. Maybe high blood pressure? Especially processed food contains high amount salt. No good advice. Enjoy the pure taste of food without added salt.
1/10 deathz is from it

Book *Salt Killz*
I'd say I average over 10g a day.
salt or sodium?
Wait, after listening to the rest of this, Thomas, you say, "I totally agree" that table salt is a goodie? Hmm, well look what I found that you said 5 yrs ago about "unopposed sodium." Is that no longer a thing? lol.

You said yourself i was born normal and felt normal in the past but you took everything from me and if it were lies than why is that monster crying
Stan looks Hypertensive. Is he?
It’s all the salt
@@1988csh dont speak beta boy
@@donzouan9687 what?
Um, total BS that table salt is the same as natural/real salt. "Caking agents" don't matter? Uh, they matter, especially over time. And especially if you're eating a lot of it, lol. And those "insignificant" amounts of minerals in the real salt, well, maybe consider quality over quantity. Honestly, just because you're all bulked up, that doesn't mean your health is all that. I'm sitting here wondering why you look like ppl with high-blood pressure, all red in the face and neck. And your eyes don't look well. Kinda red/yellow, and glazed over. Not nice, clear and white like Delauer's eyes. You also have a bit of crinkling tween the eyes, and that's a liver thing. I'm thinkin' those "caking agents" and maybe too many franken substances (table salt) and maybe an excess of supplements are all creepin' up on ya'. Try respecting the wisdom of nature over your often-wrong science-y ones. Hint, see what they've done to our planet with all their franken sh*t.
exactly. I was searching for comment like this.
Agreed
Can I ask what salt you would recommend? Thank you.
Ever consider that maybe performance enhancing drugs might be the cause of liver problems?
I dont get it, Stan diet and nutrition is complete opposite to your keto diets, Stan is absolutely right and I follow his advice religiously as his first goal is to give correct nutritional advice to ppl and business secondary which is contradictory to your channel that revolves on whatever sells for your bottom line, must be hard truth for you to accept!
This is an incredibly ignorant comment. I don't even know where to begin.
