Magnesium is vital for the proper performance of all muscles in your body, from heart muscle, to gut musle to leg muscle...
Keto Witch So you can't go through a whole night without eating? That is odd. You probably should increase your fat content. You have to get off of carbs. Take an actual quality electrolyte/ mineral supplement. Increase your fasting window in very small increments every week or so.
Keto Witch I use Dr. Bergs electrolyte powder. It disolves in my water. I stir it up and drink it.
Keto Witch Oh and most "real doctors" don't know anything about diet and nutrition. This dude is great. But most conventional docs are very flawed in their approach. I don't recommend using that method as a criteria for accepting any advice or not.
I guess the magnesium oxide not doing me much good? I do shut up and eat my greens though.
Dr.... please.....stop telling me to shut up!....he he he he he he
I started taking 340 mg of magnesium glycinate about two months ago for some harmless arrhythmias.
I recently noted that my BP is now consistently 110/70. I’ve always been a 125/85 guy and took 5 mg of lisinopril for many years.
I’ve since discontinued all meds and can only assume my lower BP is due the daily magnesium dose! Amazing.
Thanks for sharing.
But how did your doc & you decide to get off your 5 mg a day Lisinopril? Did you just one day stop completely the BP medicine - and keep eye on blood pressure? Hope you see this - a whole year later- Would be nice to see an update here from you, thank you!!
i get these arrythmias as well, had all the test. just curious how well mag worked for you before i dive in and also what brand you get
@@yashkumaryk42 damn that is ashame, my bp is normal actually i was refering to my arrythmias. But yea i notice magnesium not help much recently for that problem to
But...NO...it's not amazing..it's random fact. What doctore is gonna tell you this. .let alone...knows this??
Not f^ ckin many.
I've been battling chronic fatigue for my entire adult life (30M). I'm in ridiculous shape, I eat healthy but I couldn't figure out what was wrong. I tried everything. Eventually, I decided to start taking Magnesium Glycinate and Magnesium Citrate before bed. After a month of doing so, I feel well rested every single night. I am more productive at work. I am more confident, more assertive, generally in a better mood and just an overall greater pleasure to be around.
I think magnesium deficiency is what I was struggling with. I can't believe after all this time, I've finally identified the issue. Somebody pinch me, I must be dreaming!
What dosage of Mg did you take?
What kind of magnesium supplements brands do you take ? Do the higher doses work best
Brian, thank you for sharing! I am in the same exact boat, I will ramp up my intake through food choices + supplementing as well! Keep healthy my man.
I LOVE the way he speaks: honest, knowledgeable and simple. Great teacher.
Thank you Doctor, everyone truly appreciates your knowledge and sharing it with us.
Thank you Dr. Berry for all your advice.
I was Dx with diabetes on Christmas eve. A1c was 11.6, i started following your keto, and then carnivore advice. Three mos later A1c= 7.1. Got off the metformine and switched to berberine and french lilac. Now my A1c is 6.1, down from 11.6 in six mos. BP is 100/70, all labs are good. My primary doctor almost pissed himself, said it couldn't be done. I hope to have my A1c out of the pre diabetic range and back to normal on a few mos.
Thank you so much !!
Metformin is made from French lilac.
This is amazing
I'm truly happy for you! I've been doing Carnivore, I'm also Type 2 diabetic, and my A1c is down to 4.8.
Great stuff and I learnt a tremendous amount here! Thank you so much.
On lowest dose of thiazide for BP (sole condition) for two weeks with no guidance from my doctor on managing palpitations, dehydration, and diet. The complexities of magnesium, potassium, calcium and how they work together and more importantly, how deficiencies (and excesses!) in one of these minerals has consequential effects. After two days of trolling the internet to better understand the medication, the symptoms, and fit it all together, I landed upon one of your videos. More doctors should provide the basic education you provide. It's not enough to hand a patient a scrip and hope they thrive. Your community and patients have a gem in you.
I accidentally found out magnesium fixes my blood pressure..lol I was looking for anything to get off blood pressure meds, started taking potassium and magnesium every night. Blood pressure went down from 140/95 to 117/70, ran out of magnesium and my blood pressure went back up. Thank you for posting this!
Please, which potassium and how much? And what dosage of magnesium? TIA
Dr. Berg says magnesium controls blood pressure too. I went from 136/85 to 112/75.
KETO Diamon
@rcaugh Any particular brand? Plus how long did it take until you saw your blood pressure come down?
KETO Diamond Is the Salt my friend try to eat less salt and consume some SPINACH they contain a ton of magnesium and POTASSIUM as well. 😊
You are the best! you’re just so honest and straight up! 💪🏼 Thank you 😊
Thank you so much!! I’m going to try it to help my TSH. I will update you next month after my blood work 🙏
❤️ U Dr. Berry!! Thanks for what
you do🙏🏼
Wow, this sounds like a game changer for health. Thank you for sharing this!
Wow! This is awesome, never would have imagined! Thanks for the help!!!
Very good video. Did not know about the acid blockers until you mentioned them. Thank you!
Love your content, I’m a Holistic Health Practitioner and totally agree with your video on magnesium. I push it to most of my Patients
Dr. Berry, I enjoy all of your videos, but I am confused. One time you sayBEEF ONLY and then you say eat plenty of greens. Can you explain ?????????
Thanks Ken .. your videos actually are Brilliant .. you deserve your growing audience ... referencing you when ever I can ..
We started Keto and got a magnesium citrate supplement. I have fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and vitamin D deficiency amongst other things. I USED to have migraines (at least one weekly) and have only had one or two a month since taking the supplement. We ran out and I got daily headaches that stopped as soon as we got more. I ALWAYS feel better after an epsom salt bath. Thanks for the tips.
Since I started taking magnesium supplements and also followed the intermittent fasting, I was able to go off of one of my blood pressure medication. I hope to eventually get off of the second one,But I am so happy with the results so far. Thank you! Thank you so much.
Thanks, Doc! Very helpful!
You have just become my "go to" nutrition Dr.! Thank you! I'm sharing with my family too!

Thank you for all the upfront information to help..
Thanks for sharing this vital information, Dr. Berry. 🙂
Just what I need to hear... this is an ete opener.... thank you so much. I appreciate 🙏
Love this ❤️ thank u!!! I had really bad vitamin D and magnesium deficiency 🥺🥺 your videos really helped me thank u again
Thank you so much for this info.
Aww that’s so awsome a true healer lots love my friend thank you for the tip
Thank you Doctor Berry for this information even though I'm watching it two years later so good information preciate you keep it up
Thank you for the info just found you. God bless you for helping us all. Great info.
Learn something new everyday ....... Thanks Doc
I remember doing a Nutrition lab experiment in college, feeding a lab rat a zero Magnesium diet. That poor rat became so neurologic after about 10 days that we stopped the trial & put him back on normal feed. The Neuro signs resolved in about 3 days. Magnesium matters!
What neuro symptoms developed in the rst?? 😮
@@zoezzzarko1117 He probably had really bad muscle cramps at different times of the day. Especially at night.
I have been taking Omeprazole and diclofenac for 7 years now and no doctor told me about taking magnesium. Just started reading about the two drugs I am taking because of the site effects I have been experiencing. I am 60 years old and I have to tell you, the way majority of doctors treated me is just outrageous. Each time I mention the site effects I am ignored. Something is wrong when I as patient have to look on the internet to find out what the hell is wrong with the prescriptions I am given.
very true. doctors only prescribe meds because that’s what they have been taught snd how they make a living. what was your issue, and what did you do about?
love to know
It's called big pharma and kick backs. it's easier to write a script for the poison than to really diagnose. Next!
SIDE effects are the most important symptoms. We definitely have to be our own advocates.
@@margiemudge6607 Today my doctor said well all drugs have side effects.
@@marge3477 That is a pill pusher. A doctor probably isn't in the AMA.
Thanks for really useful information plz keep giving us more information about deficiency of vitamins and minerals
Very generous advice!
Thanks for the very helpful tips
Glad I found your channel, have been working my way through your archive.
I'd been having problems with cramps in all my muscles for a number of years, when a friend gave me a spray bottle of 'magnesium oil' (not an oil but a high concentration of magnesium chloride in water (feels greasy). When I put this on the skin over the cramp, the cramp goes away. Magnesium sulfate (epsom salts) does a similar through-the-skin muscle relax, but the chloride is IMO faster.
Since then, I've been supplementing with magnesium citrate. I eat a lot of dark greens, but I always have. I've also taken to using magnesium oil as an underarm deodorant. Works great for that, and it gets more magnesium into my body. I know there are lotions for 'restless legs' that are pretty much magnesium citrate in a lotion carrier.
I still get the occasional cramp, but nowhere near as bad. I'm still not swimming across the lake (used to do 2mi/day in the water) as I'm a 'sinker' and a bad cramp without a rescue nearby could be... bad.
BTW/FWIW. it's cheaper to buy magnesium chloride flakes and mix with hot water (same way you'd make a simple syrup with sugar) than to buy the pre-made 'oil'.
This is life saving and altering. Thank you Dr. Berry.
Amazing information and I appreciate it! Thank you for sharing the honest truth and not the lobbyist, kickback crap that a lot of others self compromise with! I appreciate your candid honesty and transparency!! Coaches Collins!! 😊
Great information. Thanks.
Hi Doctor Berry, thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge. I've learned a lot from your videos. I've recently started magnesium citrate. However, I've recently watched a video with someone claiming that it's not safe (something about iron). Have you heard about this? Also, what's your thoughts on magnesium L-Threonate? I'd really appreciate your insight. Thanks again.
I made a big pot of collard greens yesterday with turkey sausage, onion, and seasoning, and my son and I just gobbled them up, they were so good. We love them!
Thank you for the information been realy helpfore
Thank you doctor Berry very informative.
Very well explained thanks 🙏
God bless you Doctor Ken. Thanks for all you do for us! excellent
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP
I used to suffer from mineral deficiency and had many health problems from drinking reverse osmosis water, now I drink spring water after finding out what the problem was, never been this healthy in years. No supplements. Thanks.
Merry Christmas and have a MAG-nificent day. Tnx for sharing.....
As a mom living north of Detroit, I was originally interested in providing my sons with enough fiber to solve their problems with constipation. I planted Kurly Kale from seed behind my petunias in front of my house. I would pinch off the tiny flowers when they came, but was able to harvest kale 11 months of the year. They would die down in February and start up again from the roots in March. At dinner time, I would simply slip out my front door with my kitchen shears, shake the snow off the plant and cut what I wanted for our meal. I could easily "hide" torn bits of kale in any hot dish (mac & cheese, spaghetti, chili, etc.). The top leaves were always tender enough for my salads. My plants were 4 years old when I moved away from them. I never gave them a bit of care but they produced wonderfully anyway.
Great information,
I like the way you talk, 👍
First time viewer. Great content, I had to sub.
I love your style sir!
I love your diet recommendations.
Thanks for sharing.
My wife got me into listening and I love what you tell everyone. I wish more doctors do it. Keto and IF is working for me.
Me too brother. I am doing EWOT, omad and 200 to 300 pushups 2 days on and one day off. 71 and getting younger every day. Great vid here but I drink magnesium carbonate water every day. Super cheap and easy to make and you get a dose every time you drink and all day long. Source for it is Dr. Sircus and he teaches you how to make it.
Nice to see some older guys keeping an open mind and reaping the rewards, congrats on feeling better guys.
Are you related to Robert Quackenbush, the author of the kids books? We love those!
@@stockinettestitch Not that I know of
Let me first thank you for this wonderful video! I learned so much from it. Allow me in this fortuitous moment to share something I read in one of Dr. Dean’s books about magnesium that caught my attention: “The biggest obstacle to magnesium is that most people think it’s too simple a solution. If you feel you have a serious condition, you may expect the treatment to be just as extreme, so with magnesium, its simplicity is its downfall”.
I'm a new subscriber
And I've been watching your videos
And let me just say that you are a great person. God bless you please 🙏
You have a top notch bedside manner. This video is great information! Thank you so much. I found the part that you revealed about( I am paraphrasing) low levels of magnesium rarely are detected by test. That is extremely potent information. Again,thank you very much. Stay blessed!😊
I find your tutorials extremely informative.I started started taking magnesium 250 mg daily having occasional leg cramps ( will speak w PMD also) Started on keto 5wks ago.
Great stuff as always. I am getting lots of info on Keto and IF. I started about two weeks ago and am starting to feel a difference. Difference enough that when I cheated a bit over the weekend, I felt worse then ever. That in itself was enough to get me back on the wagon quick. Think about doing a video on what a balanced meal would be...doing two a day would be my preference. I I.F. from 8pm to noon. I have never liked breakfast, and found doing that very easy. I do worry (imagine others do) that I am not in balance yet with my eating...both nutrition, amounts and type.
Sometimes feeling terrible after you cheat is a good lesson learned
thanks for the simple info.
Could you please open the captions in your video because it helps me to read and understand better. Thank you so much
I love 💕 your style Doctor. Not out to sell products instead give good info!! 👏👏👏👏
I think you saved my life. I was magnesium deficient and had all the symptoms. I don't have them anymore after I started taking a supplement and eating keto. Thank you.
Are you still taking it?
Dear Dr Berry, thank you so much for raising awareness. Does Omeprazole affect magnesium levels? Thank you
I recently started taking magnesium and then I had bloodwork done and it was low! I then had a video chat with my Dr. and she recommended to double the dose, it has made a huge difference in my sleeping at night!!! Good to see this video, the foods are a real great suggestion, I didn't know about these!
I used to get really bad leg cramps, sometimes from my groin to my knee in my inner thigh or right in the middle of my calves, specially at night when I stretched my legs, since supplementing with magnesium they have stopped.
What type and mg used?
Thank you for your expertise. I was having trouble with sleep and a friend recommended magnesium and it has worked wonders for me. You just confirmed everything for me plus showed me what else I should be eating. I'm a 63 yr old female and do not want to die from something so easy to rectify. Thank you for your podcasts as I am following your advice on many subjects.
I went to the hospital in nsw australia yesterday to have a catheter removed…went into Afib …heart rate 150bpm…taken to emergency, given iv drip magnesium sulphate (epsom salt) and potassium chloride….2 hours later feeling fine, 1 hour later sent home feeling like a new man….
OK, I am subscribing. 😊
Thanks for this. I had never heard the acid/magnesium relationship. Been neglecting my supplement for awhile, gonna go back on it right now. So again, thanks!
I wish you were my doctor you’re absolutely incredible

🙏🏼 Hi Dr. Kend magnesium Glycinate, Malate, Threonate and magnesium chloride oil are the best for magnesium deficient ?
Thanks for your advise.
"Shut up and eat your greens" LOVE IT!!!
Yes!
I want that on a T-shirt 😂
That's what I tell people now that I've been on a ketogenic diet for a while. Vegetables (non starchy) are a very important part of a healthy diet!
Robert Hicks I’ve star saying this to my kids!
Robert Hicks This made me giggle & I tried this out on my husband... quickly kissed him LOL... know what? He ate his damn greens!
Your amazing 😮😊
good advices, thank you
Thanks Doc! Lots of good info. I’m on magnesium infusions monthly. I have crohns and lose a lot of nutrition. I stay away from the leafy greens because they go right through me. I’m also on Remicade which doesn’t seem to be helping. I do 4 chewable magnesium pills a day. 400 mg each. I’m going to get one of the supplements you suggested. Thank you again!
You look a lot better now six years later!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Look up, "Original Dead Doctors Don't Lie". It's over a hour look but it will change your life for the better🙏
Doctor, please talk a little bit more about the lack of magnesium. It can cause bipolar disorder, suicidal tendencies, mood swings, depression and much more. So many peoples in the United States suffers from depression. Many psychiatrists do not check for vitamin deficiencies, but instead administer strong psychotropic drugs. Your audience need to hear more about this problem. Thank you.
Thank you for being a voice for us with mental disabilities.

I've gone from months of Keto to carnivore just 5 weeks ago. Last week I started feeling my heart beating hard. I thought it was my blood pressure as I've stopped all my blood pressure meds but it was 117 / 73. It got worse over the next few days and caused me to not sleep last night. Laying down made the problem worse. This morning at 3:45am I woke and took a hot shower, in the shower I recalled seeing this video just the day before. "magnesium is critical for the heart" so on a hunch I went to the kitchen and dug out the magnesium supplement that I had purchased just a few weeks before. I wasn't taking it because the tablets were so big. I took two (the recommended daily dose) and before 5am I began to notice I was feeling better. My heart was not beating so weird and my mood became better. Now it's almost 8am and I feel great. I can't even feel my heart beating and my pressure is 110/69.. not bad for 60 and no medications what so ever.
Magnesium.. you need it!
Thanks doc.
So glad to read this. Your experience has helped me!
@@andsoitgoes1142 I agree with you. I have been taking some electrolyte drink mix that has mega potassium in it (Dr. Berg). I've been doing the same as you, eating salt. I found that when I have an urge to eat something, salt relieves the urge.
Now I'm taking more pills than I was before. All vitamins and supplements to compensate for what I'm not getting.
I will say that I feel 10 times better than I did just a few months ago.
I just started with iodine and wow. energy is through the roof!
@TurboKing I will check that out.
I'm a bit worried now because if I don't take electrolytes twice a day my heart does that weird beating pattern and I get cramps in my feet.
Would love an update on this now that you recommend a different diet
Thumbs up and subscribed!
Hi Dr. Berry. I just discovered your videos and you have my attention. I really enjoy your videos. I understand that you don't endorse any particular vitamin brands and that is admirable. I would like to know how to pick a good vitamin company. What are the secrets for making a selection, not wasting time, money and not getting sicker? Thanks.
Thank you, doctor. I appreciate the information. Question: what is the dosage that is safe and effective? Again, thank you.
Thank you very much
Thank u dr berry.. please stay brave.
Great video on magnesium - needed for ATP production. Do you think serum ionised magnesium may be a better measure? Some US blood gas analysers offered a magnesium electrode channel about 20 years ago - I wonder if they became widespread. They would be handy in a hospital setting to pick up arrhythmias due to magnesium depletion.
Enjoy all your videos !!
"Shut up and eat your vegetables" got me laughing so hard !!
lol, yep :)
Thank you !!
Thank you so much🙏
I had a Vagotomy back in the 80's and have the "dumping syndrome" along with it. Having had this done, will this affect Magnesium absorption in the stomach?
Thank you for sharing I've been on this for the past couple of days and what I eat is sweet potatoes and spinach which they both have potassium and magnesium so I eat those daily instead of taking any pills. Also, I learned that sweet potatoes help with the flu viruses and colds.
