The part about people with migraines needing more salt blew my mind. When I cut out sugar and upped my intake of celtic salt, I completely stopped getting migraines - I used to get them daily.

It will be 2 months on the 25th May that I went carnivore. It's been very difficult stand firm, but videos like yours have helped me in many ways to stay on track. I am writing today to say a trillion thanks JUDY, because I was almost going out to buy potassium and magnesium supplements and just give up on the diet, but then I saw this video, clicked on it, and I found new hope again. I'll give the sole water a try and get back to you. I've been feeling too bad lately, not sleeping at night, being bloated, having brain fog, having my eye muscles over shaking, being depressed (I've been stressed up due to other factors lately). I started wondering if the carnivore diet was for me. Yesterday I fell out of the diet and ate potatoes and some beans. I felt more bloated, I was saying to myself, whatever. Thou I have had noticeable improvements on my health and overall wellbeing as a woman in the first month. Am from Cameroon in Africa, and to say I feel lonely with my carnivore diet is an understatement. Everyone around me is waiting to rush me to the hospital because I overate meat (hahahaha). Thanks again Judy, be blessed and strengthened.

Very useful video Judy 👋👋 Blood volume is often overlooked in the electrolyte balance issue. Low blood volume, on any LC protocol, can often result in heart palpitations which REQUIRES increased water intake as a remedy This issue may also require replenishment of vital electrolytes too BUT, it is by increasing fluid in the body, that blood volume is restored, thus reducing the need for the heart to increase BPM (pulse) to maintain sufficient blood flow throughout the body Thought it might be useful to mention this as many overlook blood volume when looking at electrolyte balance on LC, Keto, carnivore diets

@silviemotheroflightgaiaqui4884 3 года назад

Thanks so much for the information. The one thing that really sticks out is the stress factors. Having what doctors regard as low thyroid, no one, even the endocrinologist would even consider was the stress factor. My whole system basically crashed from the stress I was under for so many years. When that settled, I lost 15kg in about 2 months without doing anything. Was able to walk 3.5 kilometres per day. Then boom stress hit again and my system crashed again. After listening to this it really confirms all the research I had done about stress, causing so much issue. Thanks again for the information, will be starting on the carnivore way of eating as my systems seams so much better when eating just the meat and I do feel bad on the carbs to a certain point. And I love salt, I will definitely give the sole a try, cos I dehydrate and then crave salt. Learning to listen to my body much more.

I know the K+ helps calm my adrenals so with this info regarding high stress and how it affects sodium tolerance- it all makes sense. I have CPTSD AND lipodema so between the two, I am really struggling being hydrated and not swollen!

@cdlund2840 Год назад

One thing I never understood is if we lived on a carnivore diet for millions of years before agriculture how did we thrive without all this intense focus on every aspect of our macro and micro nutrient intake? If we eat as we were intended why would we need all this micro management of our food intake, makes no sense to me. I don't "manage" electrolytes. I just eat meat, eggs, water and salt. No supplements, no sprays, no drops, no worrying about all this stuff. Maybe I am just not stressed? If you re-learn to listen to your body it becomes a simple thing. Your body will tell you to eat more fat or more protein or drink water or add salt or not, no need to measure anything. It is not easy but, you have to dismiss all of our social eating habits and look at food as energy instead of entertainment.

Hi Judy, Saturated sea salted water is referred to as Sole water. My ratio is 500grams of water to 100 grams of sea salt. I bring the water to a boil and add the salt. Then let it naturally cool to room temperature. This fills a 20 ounce mason jar. I then use 1/2 to 1 tsp of Sole water to 16 ounces of water. The apporximate amount is 1 tsp or 5ml of Sole water holds about 1gram of sea salt. I hope this helps.

@masteringfibromyalgia 2 года назад

I haven’t tried sole water, I am thinking I need to go ketovore for awhile, but I have also seen that I might not be eating enough fat. The migraine issue is serious, and seems to be associated with my bms not coming regularly. I didn’t know about the avocado no salt thing, I will try that.

@sabincioflec8413 Год назад

I think in the sense that let's say you have a base of 50 units of potassium and 25 of sodium, so a 2-1 ratio. If you add potassium and sodium so you get to 100 to 50, the ratio is still 2-1 . Just like omega 6 and omega 3s, if we want a better ratio we should consume less omega 6 and more omega 3s. My opinion is that this thinking is flawed and we need potassium and sodium and the kidneys filter out what they don't need, just like omega 6 and omega 3s. Kris Kresser did a deep dive and turned around on his recommendation to lower omega 6s since he saw that omega 6 in the natural form ( seeds and nuts and other healthy foods ) are associated with better overall health and less morbidity. Pretty sure it's the same here with salt and potassium, just eat and your body will tell you when to stop, it's much smarter than our prefrontal cortex.

I just found your channel and I have been binge watching. I have been on the carnivore diet for a little over a year. I started it because of chronic migraines and food intolerances over the years. I have a really hard time introducing salt into my diet because when I do I wake up with itchy and swollen eyes and my eyeglasses are not sufficient to be able to read in the morning but by the end of the day I’m OK. Couple of weeks ago I tried reintroducing a very small quantity of Redmond salt again for a few days and I got really bad leg cramps which is the opposite of what I’m hearing. Could I be intolerant to salt or maybe it’s the kind of salt that I’m using? I eat only grass fed beef and try to eat as much fat as I can tolerate without getting body pain.

@humblerojo6300 Год назад

I’m not sure what Judy would say but several other nutritionists have said that symptoms like swelling ankles etc. when some people eat added salt isn’t because the salt is “bad” for you. They tend to say that the root cause is more likely dehydration. I would be certain that you’re following mineral salt consumption with enough mineral/electrolyte water so that excesses can be “flushed” out of the system.

@osuzyqzzz1 Месяц назад

You really do need potassium, but your levels need checked initially and routinely until you know how much you need. Hypokalemia can kill you, that's low potassium, as well as high can. I know two women over the years who have died from hypokalemia while dieting, though I don't know which fiet they were following.

So blood volume would be related to electrolytes but what about your water source and the minerals in the water? I keep aquarium fish and so have tested our local water to find it is almost without dissolved solids. I have leg cramps after 5yr lc. Water from the Midwest is often called liquid rock. Do leg cramps happen there?

@dianavp9054 Год назад

I had a similar problem, but since I started having a cup of hot water in the morning with added 1-2 tsp MCT oil, salt, and cinnamon, I've been going more regularly. Husband found online that when you inject the mct mixed in hot water, NOT with food, the oil is absorbed into the stools. No more hard clay poops, just mousse-like mushy easy poo. So much better than constipation!! I use a frother to mix it. I've also been adding two raw egg yolks and froth. It's yummy. If you start with the water hot enough, it will cook the yolk slightly. Good luck. Start with a small amount of MCT to avoid too much gut rumbling or disaster pants!

If you have a low-ish sodium to potassium ratio (mine was 2.0 on a hair test), would you definitely want to try eating more salt even if your absolute values of both sodium and potassium are quite high ? (mine were 97 and 48, respectively - way higher than the normal ref range on the Upgraded Labs test

@dianavp9054 Год назад

How can the body balance itself in minerals if a diet doesn't include enough calcium or potassium? If a body is not eating dairy, bones, or fruit, how does meat provide sufficient minerals? Or does a carnivore eater, perhaps, not actually require 4700mg of potassium per day?!

I get confused about this. So an increase in salt is all it takes to balance electrolytes? What if your not getting enough potassium or magnesium from your diet? Then is it a good idea to take electrolytes? I very often have this tension feeling in my head as if there's a rubber band wrapped around my head it's alot of pressure in my head everyday. And I like salty food so I do salt to taste and take an electrolyte powder. I'm just not sure if I'm taking enough but I'm nervous to increase the powder and cause more imbalances

Hello, I'm on day 9 of my carnivore journey and struggling a little bit. The first days were ok, had some diarrhea and then started pooping really hard stools. Days following that no desire to poop. Then started to feel nause. A few days after that I started having acidic diarrhea. Now on day 9 of strict carnivore, I'm up at 3am with acidic diarrhea and night sweats. I saw a video about this and it said that I'm either producing too much bile acid or too little or malabsortion. What could be causing this? When I was eating SAD I was not having bowel issues. I'm just a little concern because the acidity of the poop kind of burns me. Just concerned if I'm doing something to myself. Any advice on how to better my situation. At least until my body adapts to high-fat absorption? I dont know if Im eating too much fat in the beginning. I was never used to eat8ng fatty foods. Its a new transition for me.

@Jhadyspeaks Месяц назад

@garyholiday7446 so SVT is supraventricular tachycardia where my heart rate was 162 even though I wasn't moving. I think I screwed up my electrolytes on this diet. Ketovore and carnivore. My calcium was low too 8.1 because I lowered my vit d3 intake and I wasn't eating diary. I'm taking magnesium glycinate atleast 400 to 500 mg a day along with drinking water 2 liters through out the day. Also put some salt under my tongue for sodium. My potassium is coming from avocado, meat or grapefruit. But avocado and meat should be good source. So far I have less palpitations and no SVT event when I ran on treadmill. Pls take care of your electrolytes and minerals so you don't damage the heart. My heart palpitations or heart flutter is different from SVT. So I have 2 different heart palpitations..

@Lapestebubbonica 2 года назад

I love Judy's work and content but this time it doesn't make much sense I'm probably getting something wrong How can you get significant electrolytes from salt? Pink Himalayan salt has these value for 1 gram: Potassium (mg) 2.8 Magnesium (mg) 1.06 0 Iron (mg) 0.0369 0.01 Sodium (mg) 368 You would need to eat 400 gr to get the daily magnesium dose. I get that it's more of a supplement to the Diet but it's still not much Plus you would consume way too much sodium for just 20-30mg of magnesium

@sabincioflec8413 Год назад

Seems like the keto diet and especially carnivore, use up a lot less electrolytes. So the recommendations are kinda useless, like 400mg of magnesium might just be 50mg, or 1000mg of calciu might be 100. There are plenty of people who do carnivore for quite some time without reaching the recommended numbers and seem very healthy. But i'd do the hair analysis test since maybe some people do weird type of carnivore where they eat just muscle meat, or too much liver or stuff like that and they go overboard on some type of nutrient
