Welcome back to Anxiety Slayer Dr. Dean.

Oh, thank you so much Shannon. Please call me Carolyn.

I will, Carolyn, thank you. And thanks for coming back to share your expertise. It's been five years since we last had a conversation about magnesium and how magnesium deficiency can wreak havoc on our bodies and our mental health.

And I want to dig in deeper because I know you've done so much since then and thought we could just start perhaps talking about the the symptoms of

magnesium deficient anxiety. Yes I thought what I do Shan is tell you about magnesium deficiency survey that I initiated since we last spoke

2017. Well in September 2019, I put this survey on our website, very basic survey, so it's been

up there now for almost two years. What we wanted to know is what percentage of people just

driving by our website were experiencing insomnia, anxiety, muscle cramps, restless legs, heart

palpitation, tension headaches, and migraines. And what we found was just shocking. 70% of people said they experienced anxiety.

70% of people just you know oh let's do to do to do let's see what this

website has sure and 70% as well insomnia, 60% muscle cramps, 55% restless legs, 50% heart palpitations and 40% migraines and tension headaches. So you know what this told me,

Shan, is that when people come to you or me with anxiety, they have a lot more going on. They are also not sleeping. They may have

their muscle cramps and restless legs and heart palpitations with which freaks them out even more and

headaches and that's only a drop in the bucket, I've listed 65 different symptoms and conditions that are related to magnesium deficiency, and most of them are treated with drugs and that adds to the

symptomatology and the side because of the side effects of drugs or create other problems. So that's what I have to share with you 70% of just the general public experiences anxieties.

You're in such a very important position
