so today we’re going to talk about the

six things that your muscles

will tell you about your nutrient status

fairly quick video but very very um

important if you have any problem with

your muscles

the muscle is an organ and it’s a great

indicator of all sorts of nutritional

deficiencies

in the body let’s just kind of go

through it all right number one if you

have pain in your muscle

or inflammation it could be vitamin d

deficiency

most people are deficient in vitamin d

it’s very very common

and especially if you have low back pain

in general maybe not necessarily in the

muscles but just low back pain

take vitamin d because vitamin d is a

great anti-inflammatory

and it will definitely get rid of muscle

pain itself

okay next thing is low recovery from

exercise so you work out

but you’re sore and you can’t get rid of

the soreness it takes way too long

it could be an omega-3 fatty acid

deficiency

i’m talking about dha and epa

fish oils cod liver oil you can also get

your

omega-3 from algae and this is very

common as well

a lot of people don’t eat enough fish

they don’t take fish oils they

definitely don’t take olive oil

and so they they may notice that when

they work out it’s just

their recovery is very very low okay

next thing is burning in the muscles

and this would also be restless leg

syndrome

that could be a condition called lactic

acidosis where there’s too much lactic

acid in the muscle

believe it or not i used to have this in

my 20s

really bad with my lower legs i would

wake up in the middle of night with my

legs

burning and feeling very very energetic

and i had to go

run in the middle of the night to get

this energy out

this is a classic vitamin b1 deficiency

where does this come from well too many

refined carbohydrates and sugars

guilty as charged i used to do a ton of

sugar and ice cream right before bed

and i always wondered why to get up in

the middle of night and have to

you know have this burning in my legs so

it’s just incomplete

carbohydrate metabolism nutritional

yeast is is the key

with that and avoid the sugar okay and

the burning will go

away so vitamin b1 gets rid of lactic

acid

next thing is twitching or tetany so you

have a little twitch

you know underneath your eyelid or an

arm it’s just this little twitching

that’s a low calcium situation now you

could take calcium

and i always recommend taking like a

calcium lactate or a

calcium magnesium type combination not

calcium carbonate

but here’s the thing if you’re doing

enough calcium

foods like some cheese or even calcium

in the vegetables

it could be not a problem with calcium

it could be that you’re

just too alkaline if you’re too alkaline

you’ll have a problem with calcium

depositing on the nerves

creating a little twitching and

so what you can do is just take apple

cider vinegar and that should

get rid of the twitching very very

quickly

now where does this come from this comes

from

the overconsumption of refined

carbohydrates and sugar

as well as stress those stress

in carbs will create this state right

here now you probably

were thinking it’s going to create more

of an acidic state but in actuality

it can create more of an alkaline state

so it’s either low calcium or you’re too

alkaline

cramps in the muscle that’s usually a

potassium deficiency

magnesium deficiency or a sodium

deficiency so you need

salt or these electrolytes

okay i’ll start here then go to here and

then go to here

or just take all of these together

next one this is quite amazing

if your muscles are weak and you just

feel like you go up a flight of stairs

and you i don’t know your legs don’t

move or your legs get heavier

or you just have weak muscles vitamin e

is the fastest thing

to make a weak muscle strong

the the type of vitamin e that you need

is

tocatrinals okay you can get a blend of

tocopherols and tocatrinals

but if you have the option i would get

the tocatrinos because they work pretty

fast

and normally you can get the tocopherols

which is like alpha beta delta gamma

you can get that from your food very

easily but it’s very difficult to get

the other part of the vitamin e complex

to katrina’s which is alpha beta delta

gamma from the food so you can take that

and

notice how strong your muscles get this

can really be helpful during exercise as

well

so these are the one two three four five

six things that your muscles can tell

you about your nutrient status
