Wellness coach, certified nutrition educator and bona fide magnesium expert Morley Robbins is our guest today in Episode 602 of The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore!

We all know there are benefits to getting adequate amount of vitamins and minerals into our diets through both the foods we eat as well as added supplementation. However, many people neglect the importance of certain critical micronutrients that they need in their bodies to function as optimally healthy as possible. That’s a message that Morley “Magnesium Man” Robbins is seeking to convey to the public regarding the subject of magnesium. While Vitamin D and Vitamin C get most of the headlines these days when it comes to their importance on human health, Morley makes the argument that magnesium deserves a place at the table of discussion within the context of gaining health. Listen in as Jimmy and Morley talk about this lesser-known but incredibly important nutrient that everyone needs to be more aware of getting adequate amounts of in their diet. ENJOY!

I discovered that I had a magnesium deficiency through information that I read in Dr. McCleary’s book “The Brain Trust Program”. I get headaches often. Before low carbing, I was a victim of migraines. After I began low carbing my migraines vanished. But I would still get headaches. Dr. McLeary’s book presented the consideration that mag deficiency could cause headaches. So I took some magnesium for a standard headache and to my surprise, my headache stopped…as if I had taken a tylenol. So, I began researching magnesium with my focuse on diabetes. I was amazed to discover that low mag could very well be ther root cause of diabetes. So I increased my regularity with taking magnesium and my glucose numbers came down. I found this stunning considering that my family is diabetic prone. Yet we are not focusing on that aspect as a family. Now, considering vitamin D it is important that we include vitamin co-factors which includes zinc, K2, and MAGNESIUM…Everything is connected.

  As you become more & more familiar with the thousands of enzymes that are dependent on Magnesium for successful operation, you will realize that Mg is not just “another co-factor,” it is the conductor of the Orchestra. Mg researchers as a group are decidedly reverential about its role in our bodies…

Wow Mary, thank you for your comment. I have headaches every day. They wake me up at 3 or 4 am. “The Brain Trust Program” sounds like something I need.

  For RSD, I strongly urge you to research your B vitamins namely 1 and 12. I would also discuss the vitamin B complex injections with your doctor if you have digestive problems. http://www.mcvitamins.com/complex-regional-pain-syndrome.htm

  Lynn, you might want to Google: Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Magnesium Deficiency. While I couldn’t't find a dedicated research study to this condition, it is listed repeatedly in articles describing “magnesium deficiency” symptoms. I have now read & assimilated 380 articles on Mg deficiency and have categorized them along 18 different diseases & conditions. Trust me, there is not one so-called chronic disease in America that doesn’t have Mg deficiency at its origin. The deep dark secret of illness in America… Be sure to have your Mg RBC levels checked to determine what stage of deficiency you’re working from. Most people are now 3rd or 4th generation on mineral deficiency. Best of luck in your recovery…
