hey guys so if you didn’t watch part one

go ahead and watch it because part one

is all about the foundation of magnesium

now we’re on part two okay so one thing

you should know about magnesium

magnesium is involved in relaxation

calcium is involved in contraction but

it’s also involved in cellular signaling

and cellular reproduction so the

function of calcium goes way beyond just

making bone that’s involved in a lot of

different things but as far as the

interaction in minerals when you have

low magnesium you’re going to have high

calcium they kind of work opposing each

other so if you’re high in calcium

you’re gonna cause a magnesium

deficiency okay so they kind of

teeter-totter now when you’re low in

magnesium you’ll actually be low in

potassium because they they work very

closely together they don’t oppose each

other they work with each other and if

you’re low with potassium you have low

magnesium so how does this relate so

let’s say for example you’re taking a

supplement a straight pure potassium

supplement without magnesium you’ll end

up finding that it won’t really work

without magnesium because you need this

with this and this is why when you eat

food you always have these minerals

together not isolated or when you take

an electrolyte powder you normally see

all the electrolytes together when you

take them they’re more functional that

way let’s say you have insulin

resistance which most the population has

you’ll end up with a magnesium

deficiency you have excess calcium and

you’ll have a little potassium okay now

let’s talk a little bit more about

calcium now we have the inside of the

cell then we have the outside of the

cell as far as this electrolyte calcium

you have 10,000 times more concentrated

calcium on the out of the cell than you

do on the inside a cell now potassium is

much different because you have 98% of

the potassium inside the cell and only

2% outside the cell the calcium is

different an order for calcium to be

transported you have this thing called a

voltage-gated calcium channel this is

basically just a gate door to allow

calcium to go in and out and also it

controls other things

as well you need calcium to even produce

insulin from the pancreas so it’s

involved in a lot of different functions

including signaling certain things now

if you have too much calcium inside the

cell and these this ratio is not correct

you develop the condition called

intracellular hyper calcine OSIS which

is a fancy term for you have too much

calcium inside the cell this is very

very dangerous and it’s very common for

a lot of people in fact a drug that a

lot of doctors use for high blood

pressure is called a calcium channel

blocker so calcium channel blockers

basically prevent the calcium from

building up inside the cell and you can

lower a blood pressure from that okay

because the excess calcium makes the

arteries stiffer and it raises blood

pressure because it’s no longer elastic

and you get too much contraction okay

not enough relaxation so they use a

calcium channel blocker they’re blocking

in this channel right here to reduce

blood pressure calcium channel blockers

are also used in another condition

called Raynaud’s and that’s a condition

where the circulation at the end of your

fingertips is really bad in poor where

you get this like almost purple because

the smooth muscle is restricting blood

flow to the end of the fingertips

especially if you’re going outside in

the cold or you touch something really

cold so Councillor channel blockers

improve that simply because they inhibit

contraction and increase blood flow and

then we have bronchospasm or asthma why

would the calcium channel blocker

improve a spasm in your lungs well

simply because it inhibits contraction

in the smooth muscle in your lungs okay

and you can breathe better so if you

have too much calcium that builds up

inside the cell you can have all sorts

of issues high blood pressure you can

develop anxiety bipolar migraines

myofascial trigger points that would be

trigger points let’s say you have

certain knots around the body like

someone presses on them and it’s very

painful inflammation cancer because of

the cell signaling problem diabetes

we talked a little bit about insulin

resistance neuro degeneration

degenerative joint disease there are

just so many problems that can occur if

you have an imbalance of calcium with

too much calcium inside the cell and

when you go to the doctor and get your

calcium tested they don’t actually check

the calcium inside the cell they may

just focus on the calcium outside the

cell but to do that you have to do an

intracellular calcium test okay guys now

in the last video part three I’m gonna

talk about what to do to get this

calcium out of the cell and reverse this

process stay tuned so if you want more

sounds weird well I’ll just remind you

on a daily basis about that
