so I’m going to talk about what’s really

behind a glute or gluteal spasm when

you’re on keto let’s say for example you

have a cramp or muscle spasm in your

butt or you’ve been diagnosed with deep

gluteal spasm or you’ve been diagnosed

with this thing called piriformis

syndrome which is a muscle underneath

the glutes realize this is an

electrolyte deficiency primarily it’s

gonna be sodium a sodium deficiency it

just means that you’re not consuming

enough sea salt this happens all the

time when you start a keto plan or

you’re doing in a minute fasting you

lose a lot of water and with the water

loss you lose sodium so you need to

increase the amount of sodium in fact if

you’ve tried potassium magnesium or

calcium for cramps and it still hasn’t

worked try more sea salt and I would

recommend depending on if you exercise

or not

one to two teaspoons a day if you’re

exercising you may need two teaspoons

now the problem with salt cravings is

that you’re not necessarily gonna crave

salt itself

you’re gonna crave what your body

remembers as salt in the form of popcorn

chips pretzels that type of thing so

there’s a couple things you can do you

can just add more salt to your food you

can add some sea salt to your water and

dissolve it and drink it down with your

lemon you could get sea salt in little

capsules make sure you get the Himalayan

sea salt which is the absolu the best

the volcanic Ridge salt in Hawaii is

also really good now other problems you

might have with a sodium deficiency

would be a worsening of pots that’s a

situation where you stand up too fast

and you get really really dizzy there’s

an entire condition on it I did a video

on this I’ll put a link down below

because if you have this you need to

take about it and be one I have a lot

more information or it could be a low

blood pressure you need more sea salt

and there’s a condition called

hyponatremia and that is low salt in

your blood and that usually comes from

consuming way too much water without

salt it could be very dangerous in your

body especially if you’re exercising and

you’re putting all this water without

the salt it

dilute your electrolytes even more and

the heart starts to work harder and

harder and harder and you can get

actually swelling in the brain it’s a

big problem Addison’s disease which is a

condition with the adrenals in which the

adrenals are not manufacturing enough

adrenal hormones so the person is going

to be losing a lot of salt and you may

see this if you have severe adrenal

fatigue or some type of dysfunction with

the adrenal you know if you have

Cushing’s syndrome you might be

retaining salt okay but the opposite of

that would be Addison’s so if you don’t

have enough of doing hormones you’re

gonna be losing salt and you need to be

consuming a lot more salt on a regular

basis or you’re gonna feel very very

weak the more you exercise the more salt

that you need make sure of course it’s

sea salt but depending on how much you

sweat that will determine how much salt

you need but some people even need more

than 2 teaspoons a day all right if you

feel weak weak muscles you need more sea

salt possibly or fatigue try adding more

sea salt all right so there’s a summary

of the sodium deficiency but if you have

a cramp in your butt try some sea salt

and it may just help you thanks for
