High Salt Diets & Athletic Performance w/ Dr. James Dinicolantonio

[@williammaybee3359]

Brilliant commentary, Mike. The most poignant video I have watched of yours so far. I suffered from overtraining syndrome roughly one year ago and discovered increasing my salt intake was a key pillar toward my recovery. Thank you so much for the broad spectrum of information you provide. I have religiously applied the concepts and have nearly fully restored my health 100% naturally.

[@decathlete2000]

how did u restore ur health? could you please elaborate? thank you

[@williammaybee3359]

TheBaRolExperience I applied as many functional medicine concepts as I could. I was nearly bed-ridden because of severe anxiety, muscle weakness, fatigue, and eventually depression. I believe most of which were result of improper recovery and excessive training among other things. It happened seemingly over night. Stress mastery, organic primarily plant based nutrition, proper sleep, appropriate exercise, targeted supplementation (mineral intake such as magnesium and sodium have been particularly important), reducing toxic exposure, infrared sauna, cold exposure therapy, wim hof breathing technique, thorough biomarker testing, meditation, daily gratitude and mindfulness as well as patience were my main strategies. I left no stone unturned, and took no days off. It took many months to see tangible progress but I am now back to living an even more active, and happy life thanks to people such as Mike M. Hope that helps, let me know if you have any more questions.

[@decathlete2000]

how much sodium and magnesium you were/are consuming and also what biomarkers you checked? before this health crash, did something disastrous happen in ur life(e.g. death of loved one, divorce/brake up, lost job etc.)?

And to answer your question, yes I had a traumatic event happen in the break up with my ex and was left without a home for a while before I eventually crashed during a heavy squat session a few months later. Look forward to hearing from you.

I grew up in a low salt house and never added salt to my food as an adult. I really didn't like the taste. So I was having the aversion to salt without overdoing it! I ended up with adrenal fatigue a few years ago and a ton of problems that you mention in this video. My aldosterone was really high and that was the first time I realized I should be eating more salt! No doctors mentioned salt including my naturopath! For the last several months I've been drinking salt water upon waking (1/2 tsp Himalayan) and I have seen a slow but gradual improvement in my energy level. I've also been adding a lot of salt to my food. And I've developed a taste for it!

POTS! So excited to hear you mention that. I have POTS and it was a significant increase in salt intake that has made all the difference. Has all but eliminated the heart palpitations and skipped heartbeats. My heart would skip heartbeats for hours and sometimes I thought for sure I would die in my sleep because it was SO intense. Salt was the cure and it was almost immediate. 4 tsp a day seems to be my magic number, though I'm sure I top 5 tsp on some days. I no longer measure it, I just toss it (liberally) into everything I drink. I purchased the book some time ago and it's excellent! Highly recommend for the POTsies out there. Salt! Salt! Salt!

[@jackiestahl7827]

@@Christian-du1ru - for me the magic number seems to be about 4 tsp a day. I cut back now and again because I tire of salting everything, but then the heart palpitations start. It's like my heart skips a bunch of beats in a row and I can feel the pressure building up, and building up, and the pressure goes all the way into my neck. Then my heart goes BOOM and beats a whole bunch really fast, and I can feel the relief in pressure, but then it stops beating again. This can go on for hours if it's a bad episode. I saw a cardiologist and she said my heart is not really skipping beats, but the chambers are beating out of order and that I'm not going to die in my sleep. I'll do just about anything to not have nights like that. Maybe by now salt is a placebo, but it's MY placebo =) My favorite way to consume the salt is in my coffee. I add salt, and either butter or a mct powder, and some powdered medicinal mushrooms. It's like waking up to heaven! I salt all food heavily and if feeling faint, drink it down with water.

I had to stop going to the gym. Despite doing my best I was slowly losing strength. I'd feel so exhausted between each set that I'd have to sit down or risk fainting. After the workout I'd crash hard, occasionally giving me severe depressive symptoms. Tried a bunch of supplements, nothing worked. Tried getting help from doctors, but they were fucking useless as usual. Fast forward a few years, and I get the brilliant idea to greatly increase my salt intake. In just one or two days everything changed. I'm now able to go to the gym and instead of feeling like shit between the sets, I instead feel energized. By the time I'm done and have taken a walk home, I've already recovered and could easily do another hour at the gym or go running or something. Really turned my life around.

I've been doing a deep dive into this stuff for the last week or so because of feeling like crap at the gym for a couple weeks, and I just remembered that my uric acid came out at a ridiculous number on my last blood panel, 11 units, where 7.5 is the max of normal. At the time I thought it was just because I recently went onto the carnivore diet again, and I wasn't worried because my blood pressure is on point, but this interview made me do a quick google, and sure enough- in study after study, increasing sodium intake lowers uric acid levels. So it might be the case that I was sodium deficient for a couple months leading up to feeling crappy at the gym for the last couple weeks. Upping my salt, potassium and magnesium uptake for the next month, and redoing the bloodwork, we'll see what happens.

this is actually very interesting to hear. im literally about to graduate nursing school. in like. 2 days. and throughout my entire nursing program salt has always been treated like this devil. we are constantly told to encouraged our patients to lower their sodium content. that every one should consume less sodium in order to live a healthier lifestyle. not just those at risk for cardiovascular diseases. but we never discussed that salt can be beneficial for those that are active. we focus solely on the sedentary and unhealthy but never the athlete. as someone who does intense exercise 2 to 3 hours per day 4x a week (lifting, cardio, MMA) this was very educational because i noticed that soon as i started increasing my sodium content and going against what i was taught in school suddenly my performance heavily increased. however my blood pressures remained normal with absolutely no change from baseline. which was my biggest fear is HTN runs in the family. this was very educational! thank you

Re salt raising blood pressure, I know this is 'only anecdotal', but... I live in the Australian outback where it is hot and dry, and not surprisingly I sweat a LOT. I thus need to drink a lot of water to replace it, and I also ingest huge amounts of salt (and eat tonnes of high-sodium fish, caviar, kelp, etc., to help compensate for the loss), particularly during our long, hot summer ~ because I simply need to (so much so I don't bother tracking either, but if I had to guess I would probably drink 3 to 4 litres of water a day, most of which is lost directly to sweat; and would consume at least 15 gms of salt, if not more -- maybe even a lot more) ... and my average blood-pressure is 105/65. Now, just how much lower would they like it to be?! ;) If a high sodium intake increases BP, I personally am yet to see any evidence of it (but then, I'm also a heavy smoker, and in my mid 40s ... so what does that say?!) What does raise my BP? Sugar. (and, in fairness, having to be active in the hottest part of the day, when I will sweat from every pore ~ like the average man does during a good work-out -- dripping with it!). My Dad is nearly 80, and he too puts salt on everything; he too eats plenty of Vegemite (naturally!); he too drinks high-sodium V8 like it's going out of fashion - along with beer, wine, water, milk, coffee, tea, OJ, electrolyte-water, and any other drinkable liquid that sits still long enough! Just as I do - and his blood pressure is never as high as a 'normal' 120/80 either -- 111/73 is his _afternoon_ norm! In our experience at least, a high-salt intake does NOT raise blood-pressure -- it lowers it. PS: As for "who would eat fish" -- me! I have at least some fish every day, and a veritable fish feast several times a week.

There is also a difference between consuming 'a lot' of sodium, and consuming an _excess_ of sodium. Were someone else to eat the same amount I do, who doesn't live in a hot, dry climate and doesn't lose a lot to perspiration, then you would rightly say they are consuming an excess, while I, eating exactly the same amount, am not.

I just put Jame's book in my cart to buy. It's important to me that I support people who improve our lives. I know of his work through Stan Efferdine. Great interview Mike. Pretty sure I watched it about 3-4 times. The newer interview of his will take me 8-10 views 👍

Im so happy whenever somebody is actually aware that iron can accumulate and become very toxic. In fact we're not supposed to ingest much iron. Our recycling system (not really supported in most people, ref ferroxidase enzyme) is suppost to deliver 24mg of iron and what we need through are mouth is about 1mg each day. Theres a lot of research to back up how real iron toxicity actually is and what it may lead to...

[@richernandez9628]

Thank you for not interrupting Dr DiNicolantonio all the time like in other KZbin videos interviewing him. Except for the part when you quieted your child. That was awkward, but great!

[@magicmegan4290]

Hehehe😂 love how you just shut down that interruption

[@Highintensityhealth]

Bahahaha. Was funny, eh? Cheers, Mike

[@kaceychapman]

Also, at 21:30, it seems like a second audio track is introduced. I think your editor was a little sleepy on this one! If you need any editing assistance let me know ;)

[@zen-ventzi-marinov]

Damn. Quality, quality, quality. Good interview!

[@chiledoug]

I mix realsalt with celtic Hawaiian red and Himalayan

[@muneerpeters1210]

Another great video, I gym 6 days a week and I love more salt in my food and I'm getting told that I have a problem with salt and I should be careful or else. My body sometimes craves salty foods. Thank you, Mike!

[@lucemuzi9751]

Awesome interview! Thank you for lining up such an impressive array of experts to talk on interesting topics! I am very curious about what you and the doc think about "The Slavery Hypertension Hypothesis."

[@gyaniadmi2347]

Man, that was very informative interview Thanks for the video.

[@blueberry11051]

Great guy. I have his book on salt, "The Salt Fix" as well as "Super Fuel". Will definitely be buying his books "The Mineral Fix" and "The Immunity Fix".

[@stevegwizzle3560]

I never did listen to that whole salt crap the health doctors were trying to push on everyone in the past only because I LOVE to exercise and sweat a LOT here in Central FL (Very humid) . Only thing I've changed is the type of salt I now induce, which is pink Himalayan salt. Gonna try the whole morning salty water drink upon waking up and see how my body reacts to it.

[@afterraincomessunshine6420]

Also Dr Versendaal who developed the muscle testing CRA, always said when it is to cold or to warm you need more salt. On the top of the head is a salt reflex, when that tests weak, you better take salt. I can get muscle pain when I'm low on salt, usually when I test myself then the salt reflex always shows. The salt reflex only gets strong with unrefined salt like Himalayan or Sea salt. This is a very interesting interview, I bought the Book "THE SALT FIX", thanks for the knowledge.

[@decathlete2000]

how do u test the salt reflex?

[@grahammckinney5705]

Fascinating video. When he talks about exercising in the heat with lower sodium, leading to higher body temperature. Would this be the same in the cold? Feeling the cold more with lower salt in the body.

[@hushhush872]

I had ostepenia, osteopenia, don't anymore being keto (closer to carnivore). I used to avoid salt because I was told I was allergic to iodine. Everybody knew before that salt was iodized. I would ask the doctor all the time if I was hurting my thyroid or anything by avoiding salt, and I was told no. In hindsight, I'm guessing this was my issue causing osteopenia because I have been including pink Himalayan sea salt in my diet ever since I've been keto. As It turns out, I'm not allergic to iodine but whatever the other compound is with iodine dyes used in the medical industry as well as something else in the shellfish I'm allergic to. I take Lugol's iodine with no issue. I'm going to look into the Redmond sea salt for the iodine, as well!

[@link6563]

6:43 TURN DOWN FOR WHAT

[@Appleblade]

I consider myself supremely rational, but I still can't suppress the idea that salt will make my heart beat problem worse (I eat keto). Still, terrified, I get up at 2am with a racing, hard beating heart, and I make a cup of chicken broth full of sodium and sip it. Within a few minutes my heart is calm and I'm thanking Dr. Dinicolantonio for writing his book!

[@tino5v]

What a golden nugget!! AMAZING!! Thank you guys so much, I always intuitively thought we should take more salt and add it to our drinks but never knew it was so great and important!! :)

[@K_F_fox]

This book changed my freaking life.

[@findawaytowin2968]

Great job by the interviewer, extremely knowledgeable and well prepared. Amazing info in this video, I’ve already texted it to some ppl. Crazy how many ppl demonize salt

[@Jewlz4ever]

I am confused why Dr. James DiNicolantonio recommends Redmond’s Real salt for iodine because it has only a minuscule amount. Redmond’s even says on their website: “Redmond’s Real Salt does contain naturally-occurring iodine, but not enough to satisfy the recommended daily allowance of 150 micrograms.”

[@y.g.1313]

I do not even bother worrying about iodine, since I take supplement, that's 12.5 mg. Based on average consumption of iodine in Japan.

[@Scottttyboy]

Drink cranberry juice, 4 ounces (fresh pressed)

[@kingbier7997]

Two questions: 1. Can a high natural salt intake improve nycturia or worsen it? 2. What if you overtake salt in a meal and need to drink directly after it. Wouldnt it effect the digestion and stomach acid as it dilutes it? Many health oriented people say dont drink directly after a meal. Or would the high salt intake rather help to digest the food better in this scenario?

[@yvonnekiwior9633]

I will have to check out Jame's book for sure. Thankyou for all this great information

[@chiledoug]

I mix Realsalt, Himalayan,Celtic and French gray

[@chiledoug]

I like the taste it takes a bit of the sharpness out of the Real salt

[@itsinis]

Mike, thank you and your wife for the work you do and the great information/education you put out!

[@EndaReilly]

As always, great interview. Bought myself some Himalayan salt the other day after seeing this. Just wondering why we can't drink seawater then? There must be some limit or is that a myth?

[@daofjudith]

Wicked awesome interview. Ordered the book!

[@tassiaartandphotogrophy9574]

Wow, very interesting interview. Thanks. I'll need to look more into some of these claims.

[@hellonblades]

I have to say you some of the best, and most informative videos! Love this channel!

[@user08157]

cannot believe there is no audible version yet

[@MIST1818]

This is mind blowing, thx doc!

[@finalstartfitness4473]

I loved this podcast!!! I was actually craving salt the more I listened!! Thx Mike for the great interviews!!

[@JonasQGarces]

Really good info here, definitely I'm going to buy his book!

[@DesMonDLee24]

no wonder i feel fatigue during workout.. i think lack of salt is 1 of the biggest reason

[@sahdev520]

Good someone talked about copper being needed by the body..

[@pb5533]

Phenomenal podcast again!...As always; your podcasts are the best! I've listened to many of the others but they are just filled with advertisements. One can tell you really understand the science better than most and are truly enthusiastic about learning as much as possible and passing it on to the rest of us. Really appreciate that.

Awesome info and thanks a lot for sharing!!
