Q & A
Why is it difficult to reverse a magnesium deficiency?
-Reversing a magnesium deficiency is difficult because it is hard to test for it accurately, and many people are unaware they have it. Additionally, magnesium is stored primarily in bones and soft tissues, making blood tests ineffective unless the deficiency is severe.
How common is magnesium deficiency in the general population?
-Magnesium deficiency is quite common, with some reports indicating that up to 88% of the general population may be low in magnesium.
Why are blood tests not reliable for detecting magnesium deficiency?
-Blood tests are not reliable for detecting magnesium deficiency because only 1% of the body's magnesium is in the blood. The majority is in bones and soft tissues, and the body can borrow magnesium from these sources, making blood levels appear normal even when overall magnesium is low.
What are some symptoms of magnesium deficiency?
-Symptoms of magnesium deficiency include muscle twitching, muscle tightness, insomnia, anxiety, fatigue, nystagmus (rapid eye movement), migraines, kidney stones, and pathogenic calcification (calcium buildup in inappropriate places).
How can certain lifestyle factors and conditions increase the risk of magnesium deficiency?
-Factors such as gut inflammation, diabetes, insulin resistance, high sugar intake, high vitamin D intake, and the use of certain medications (like PPIs, antibiotics, and diuretics) can increase the risk of magnesium deficiency by increasing the body's need for magnesium or reducing its absorption.
What are some foods high in magnesium?
-Foods high in magnesium include kelp (760 mg per 100 g), almonds (490 mg per 100 g), nutritional yeast (231 mg per 100 g), leafy greens (about 100 mg per 100 g), dark chocolate (165 mg per 100 g), and pumpkin seeds (265 mg per 100 g). Meats and fish contain lower amounts, between 25 to 35 mg per 100 g.
Why might modern diets be insufficient in providing adequate magnesium?
-Modern diets might be insufficient in magnesium due to the depletion of minerals in the soil where food is grown, leading to lower magnesium content in foods.
What is the recommended daily intake of magnesium, and how does it compare to the average intake?
-The recommended daily intake (RDA) of magnesium is between 300 and 420 mg per day, while the average person only consumes about 25 mg per day from their diet.
What type of magnesium supplement is recommended, and how much should be taken?
-Magnesium glycinate is recommended for its benefits in reducing stress and improving sleep. An intake of about 800 mg per day, usually split into doses of 300-400 mg per tablet, is suggested.
How long might it take to correct a chronic magnesium deficiency?
-Correcting a chronic magnesium deficiency can take up to a year or more. While symptoms may improve within weeks or months, it is recommended to continue supplementation for an extended period to fully address the deficiency.

🛡️ Addressing Magnesium Deficiency: Challenges and Solutions
This paragraph discusses the difficulty of reversing magnesium deficiency and emphasizes the importance of using the correct solution to address it. It highlights that up to 88% of the population may be deficient in magnesium, and testing for it is not straightforward due to the lack of a gold standard test. The speaker explains that most magnesium is stored in bones and soft tissues, not in the blood, which makes blood tests unreliable for detecting deficiency. The paragraph introduces the concept of cross-referencing data to identify potential magnesium deficiency symptoms and factors that increase magnesium requirements, such as inflammation, diabetes, insulin resistance, sugar consumption, vitamin D intake, and certain medications. The speaker also lists foods high in magnesium and compares them to the average daily magnesium intake and RDAs, pointing out that most people consume far less than the recommended amounts.
🌱 Overcoming Magnesium Deficiency: Supplementation and Diet
The second paragraph delves into how to overcome magnesium deficiency by combining dietary changes with supplementation. The recommended form of magnesium supplement is magnesium glycinate, which is beneficial for stress and sleep among other things. The suggested daily supplement dosage is 800 milligrams, which can be achieved by taking multiple tablets throughout the day. The paragraph explains that fixing a chronic magnesium deficiency can take up to a year or more, as the body does not store excess magnesium and much of it is excreted by the kidneys. Symptoms may improve within weeks or months, but it is advised to continue supplementation over a longer period before maintaining with diet. The importance of calculating daily magnesium intake and ensuring it meets the minimum requirement of 400 milligrams per day is stressed. Additional information on selecting the right type of magnesium supplement is referenced to a linked video for further guidance.

Transcripts
did you realize that it's extremely
difficult to reverse a magnesium
deficiency but I'm going to tell you how
to do it in this video so my question is
how long does it take to solve a problem
that you're treating with the wrong
solution and the answer is you'll never
solve the problem if you use the wrong
solution most people don't realize how
common a magnesium deficiency is there's
been some reports that up to 88% of the
general public are low in magnes
magesium and what's even more shocking
than that is that it's really hard to
test for a magnesium deficiency there's
no gold standard you can do a questioner
and there's another test that you can
actually extract some tissue from the
inside of your mouth and then send it to
the lab but the problem with that test
and the reason I'm not recommending it
is because I can't get a hold of the lab
that does this very specific specialize
test so I'm not going to put that in the
link because they're not going to call
you back so in this little chart you can
see that 60% of all your magnesium is in
your bones
39% is in your soft tissues like your
muscles but only 1% of all the magnesium
in your body is in your blood so this is
why doing a blood test is not going to
give you a lot of information unless
you're very very very very very severe
because even if you're deficient in the
blood guess what's going to happen
you're going to borrow some of it from
the bone or the soft tissues and in the
bone and the soft tissues most of that
is not out outside the cell it's inside
your cells it's called intracellular
calcium and so one of the principles
that I use in health is I I use a
principle out of this book called the
technology of War by sunu now of course
this book is about fighting Wars but you
can apply it to anything and so senu
talks about cross referencing data to
see if a situation or a problem exists
where you can cross reference symptoms
that are related to a magnesium
deficiency you can also look at your
foods to see how much magnesium is
coming from your Foods or not if you
have inflammation in your gut if you're
diabetic if you have insulin resistance
if you consume a lot of sugar also if
you take a lot of vitamin D the
requirement for magnesium goes up so if
you're not taking magnesium with vitamin
D you can actually end up having lower
amounts of magnesium because your body
is using more of that magnesium for
vitamin D absorption and also if you're
on medications let's say you're on a PPI
an an acid or you're taking an
antibiotic or you're on a diuretic all
these factors when cross reference can
kind of indicate you might have a
magnesium deficiency but now let's cross
reference this with a potential
indicators or symptoms you might have if
you're low on magnesium tetany let's you
have a little twitch underneath your
left eye are your muscles relaxed or are
they tight do you have
insomnia do you have a lot of anxiety do
you have fatigue did you realize that
you need magnesium just to make ATP the
energy currency of your body also a
magnesium deficiency can create you know
things like NES stigmus which is like
when your eyes kind of go back and forth
like that and migraines and kidney
stones and especially something called
pathogenic calcification what is that
that is calcification that's calcium
buildup in places that you should have
it so I'm just going to run down the
list of foods that are fairly high in
magnesium compared to other Foods okay
and we're going to talk about the
quantity of 100 gr okay that's 3 and 1
half ounces so at the top of the list
you have calp 3 and half ounces of calp
is equivalent to 760 milligrams now I'd
like to see you eat 3 and half ounces of
calp it's probably not going to happen
okay what about almonds that would give
you about 490 mg nutritional yeast is
231 mg PE
142 mg leafy greens roughly about 100 mg
of magnesium dark chocolate is about 165
Mig pumpkin seeds are 265 mg of
magnesium but magnesium is also in meats
and fish but not as much as you might
think so 100 gram or 3 and half ounces
of meat or fish you're going to get
between 25 to 35 mg of magnesium and
even if we look at the requirements of
magnesium it's called the rdas that
usually is between 300 and
420 milligram per day on average but the
average person only consumes
25 milligrams of magnesium per day
people aren't getting enough from the
diet not to mention the foods nowadays
are grown in soil that has lower amounts
of minerals especially magnesium and
it's really two situations or actually
three situations number one how do we
get enough magnesium from the
do we have to supplement and three how
long does it take to really satisfy your
deficiency oh and by the way all the
information I'm talking about is in this
book right here called The Miraculous
cure for and prevention of all diseases
what doctors never learned I'll put this
link down below it's a really
fascinating book based on a lot of
different things related to magnesium
and vitamin D but all the data that I'm
sharing today is based in that book so
if you're deficient you're going to have
to not only beef up no pun intended your
magnesium foods but you're also going to
have to supplement as well and the type
of magnesium I would recommend is
magnesium glycinate which actually helps
you know stress sleeping Etc and the
amount of supplement I would recommend
would be about 800 milligrams every
single day so usually they come in like
400ish maybe 300 milligrams per tablet
take a couple of those every day but
here here's the thing how long is it
actually going to take to really fix a
true deficiency it could take up to a
year or more to fix a chronic magnesium
deficiency you have to realize that when
you take magnesium from Foods or a
supplement it doesn't just go in storage
a good majority of it will be washed out
through the kidneys but you might find
your symptoms go away within weeks or
months but I wouldn't stop there I would
increase the amount out over a longer
period of time then maybe after about a
year of taking supplements then maybe
then you just maintain it with your diet
but of course make sure that you
calculate how much magnesium is going
into the body and then make sure at
least it's like 400 milligrams per day
now I have a little more information on
the type of magnesium that might work
for you and for that information I put
that in this video right here check it
