Summary
In this podcast, we’re going to talk about the most dangerous symptom of magnesium deficiency. Magnesium is involved in over 300 biochemical reactions. It’s important for energy production, and the transmission of nerve impulses, and it allows your muscles to relax.
Magnesium deficiency can occur if you’re not getting enough magnesium from your diet or if you’re consuming processed foods, carbohydrates, or alcohol. Gut inflammation, phytates, fluoride, phosphates, and soft water interfere with magnesium absorption.
Signs of a magnesium deficiency include the following:
12. Muscle cramping
11. Loss of appetite
10. Nystagmus
9. Fatigue
8. High blood pressure
7. Abnormal heart rhythm
6. Low vitamin D
5. Potassium deficiency
4. Migraines
3. Blood sugar issues
2. High levels of cortisol
1. Pathological calcification
Pathological calcification is the most dangerous symptom of magnesium deficiency. Magnesium stops calcium buildup in your cells. If there’s too much calcium in the cell, it will self-destruct. Magnesium also helps prevent oxidative stress from occurring in the mitochondria.
Calcium buildup can lead to several problems, including heart attack, neuroinflammation in the brain, and inflammation in other parts of the body. Magnesium, vitamin K2, zinc, vitamin D, and boron may help prevent calcification of the soft tissues.

| 0:00.0 | So let's chat about the most dangerous symptom of a magnesium deficiency. |
| 0:04.8 | As you may be aware of, magnesium is involved in over 300 biochemical reactions. |
| 0:11.0 | At least 57%, probably more people have low magnesium. |
| 0:16.2 | Magnesium is involved in energy production, the transmission of nerve impulses, |
| 0:21.3 | the ability to allow muscles to relax, blood sugar |
| 0:25.9 | issues and the list goes on and on and on. Now several reasons why people are deficient. |
| 0:29.7 | Either they're not getting it from their diet because they're not eating the right things or they eating the wrong things like processed foods |
| 0:35.4 | Carbohydrates alcohol and also inflammation your gut any type of like |
| 0:40.0 | Bloating or chronic inflammation in your gut that can prevent your absorption of magnesium. |
| 0:45.2 | And you have something called phytates that prevent the absorption of magnesium as well. |
| 0:49.7 | Fluoride blocks magnesium. |
| 0:52.8 | Soft water, |
| 0:53.8 | and magnesium. In fact, they've then test on this. |
| 0:58.2 | There's a high correlation between people |
| 1:00.1 | that have these water softeners |
| 1:02.1 | and a higher risk of getting heart attacks |
| 1:05.0 | versus people who just drink hard water, spring water, things like that. |
| 1:10.3 | They have a much lower risk of heart problems. And then you have just all the food additives, |
| 1:15.3 | very specifically the phosphates in the food additives, and you probably see it when you start |
| 1:20.7 | reading the labels on altered process foods. |
| 1:23.4 | But I want to cover 12 symptoms of a magnesium deficiency, starting with number 12 and working |
| 1:28.6 | backwards until we get to the most dangerous symptom, which you need to know about. Number 12, muscle |
