Hi all,
I’ve been scouring the forums and have just finished listening to The Salt Fix episode. I realized my sodium levels were causing abit of fatigue and brain fog.
I upped my levels by supplementing about 1/4 teaspoon of Celtic salt in some water and having a pinch of salt on the toungue about 3 times in he day. I also have a magnesium supplement (300mg) in the evenings.
Day 1 I felt immediately better. Day 2 I woke up in the am with my heart at about 90-100bpm which has me worried.
My thoughts are that in upping my sodium I’ve overclubbed over my potassium levels. I’ve broken a balance, albeit a low balance.
Strategy for a fix: keto aide this morning -650 mg potassium, 500 mg sodium, 75 mg magnesium. I have a tsp of Celtic salt measured out and I’ll be sprinkling on my food, water, and toungue across the day - total sodium is about 2000mg in that. I don’t want to directly supplement higher because I feel I can naturally get about 2-4000 mg naturally in food. My goal is between 4-6000mg. I also have an avacado loaded and ready for my lunch for a potassium hit.
Does this sound like a good plan? Anything crazy here?
I’ll report back on progress
