start with Asking Good Questions.
17
00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:05.519
Hello, and welcome to the Ask Good Questions podcast where
18
00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:09.319
we try to ask a lot of good questions every
19
00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:13.359
single week. I'm your host, Benita bell Anderson, and we
20
00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:19.640
have a very pertinent, very very timely topic today around
21
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:23.159
health and wellness, and I have got one of the
22
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:27.560
stellar nutritionists in the whole country here with me today.
23
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:30.840
Her name is Jenna Jamail. I will invite her to
24
00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:32.280
the podcast stage.
25
00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:35.439
Now, Hellow did I.
26
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:36.400
Say your name right?
27
00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:37.560
Yes? You did?
28
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:40.319
Okay? I was like, as I'm saying, and I'm going,
29
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:45.719
did I do that right? Anyway? This is a gal
30
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:47.640
that I have had the joy of getting to know
31
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:51.719
a whole lot more this year. And let me tell
32
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:54.879
you just a little bit about this girl. She's actually
33
00:01:54.879 --> 00:02:01.040
in Austin, Texas, correct, right, And she is a functional
34
00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:05.040
nutritionist and a neuroscientist. I didn't know that those two
35
00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:10.599
went together. She runs up private practice working with high
36
00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:15.960
performing individuals and focuses on finding the root cause of
37
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:19.840
complex symptoms. She sees clients with a whole lot of
38
00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:24.879
different complaints, including gut issues, in brain fog, and chronic exhaustion.
39
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:27.919
She's going to have a story about that today. She
40
00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:34.919
uses individualized clinical protocols, advanced testing, and simple changes. Probably
41
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:39.039
the most important one is simple changes to alleviate symptoms,
42
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:47.319
improve health, and introduce realistic lifestyle changes for lasting improvement.
43
00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:49.759
So anything you want to add to that.
44
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:52.520
No, that sounds it up pretty good.
45
00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:59.280
Yeah, Well, I just love that you research as well
46
00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:03.639
as getting to know people and helping them, because I
47
00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:06.560
think that that makes it possible for you to stay
48
00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:10.080
timely on what's going on with everything that's happening in
49
00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:12.199
medicine these days.
50
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:14.360
Well, you know, a lot of people don't think of
51
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:17.159
nutritionous as researchers, but in a lot of ways we
52
00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:20.800
are because we get different cases coming in all the time,
53
00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:25.159
everybody with different symptoms, different background history, different family history,
54
00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:28.159
different exposure history, and so we have to take all
55
00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:30.520
of those pieces and then come up with what's best
56
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:33.360
for that individual person. So in a lot of the ways,
57
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:35.960
we're kind of doing research all the time. We just
58
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:38.439
don't really call it that, right.
59
00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:42.000
Well, you know, like I'm you know, while you're talking
60
00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:45.879
about that, I'm thinking because you and I have done
61
00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:52.159
some consulting and it's like, you can't make me do anything.
62
00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:53.919
You also have to.
63
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:58.319
Deal with that person's motivation and their willingness to follow
64
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:02.960
the things that you're telling them. And you know, in
65
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:05.360
the end, it's going to get down to that person,
66
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:08.800
right and then they're going to be one hundred percent
67
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:11.479
responsible for their own self, which is what I always say.
68
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:13.879
Yeah, they're just.
69
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:17.040
You know, it's just crazy So today we're going to
70
00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:20.959
focus on magnesium. I think there's a lot of I've
71
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:25.120
been confused about because you see all these different ones.
72
00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:28.519
So we're going to clear this up today. So what
73
00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:33.199
was it? How did you become interested in specializing in
74
00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:39.120
like mineral and magnesium deficiencies that people have.
75
00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:43.319
So when you're if you do a master's in nutrition,
76
00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:48.160
you have to get deep into the nitty gritty of vitamins, minerals.
77
00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:50.399
What are those doing, what do they turn on and
78
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:52.920
off in the body, why are they essential? How do
79
00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:55.360
you absorb them? How long does it take to absorb them.
80
00:04:55.959 --> 00:04:57.920
So in one of my assignments for class, it was
81
00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:02.680
all about magnesium, and most people kind of on sleep, anxiety,
82
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:07.639
and then if you're constipated. But because I'm a neuroscientist
83
00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:09.920
and I've always loved neuro I wanted to know what
84
00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:13.199
was going on with the brain and magnesium. And the
85
00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:17.000
research I started stumbling upon was concussion protocols and how
86
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:19.439
magnesium is one of the first things that you give
87
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:23.240
to people who have a concussion. Not a severe concussion
88
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:26.399
where we're talking like you're hospitalized and your comatose, we're
89
00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:29.399
talking like a football player has been concussed on the field,
90
00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:33.920
they're coming off, we are immediately handing them magnesium. Why
91
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:36.680
are we doing that? And then that led me into
92
00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:39.639
there's different types of strokes and there's also something called
93
00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:43.639
a tia, which is a stroke like event. Yeah, magnesium
94
00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:46.519
is essential for recovering from that, and it can actually
95
00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:50.319
determine how long you have symptoms. And so from there
96
00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:53.079
I really started thinking about what is so important with
97
00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:56.600
magnesium in the brain, and oh, I'm actually going to
98
00:05:56.600 --> 00:05:59.600
be using a completely different type of magnesium than my
99
00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:03.399
count parts are and their nutrition practices because they may
100
00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:06.160
not see anyone with a stroke or with a concussion
101
00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:09.079
and have to recover from that. So that's kind of
102
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:11.480
what got me on the hamster wheel of magnesium.
103
00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:15.399
Well, I mean for a long time, I had no
104
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:17.639
idea that there was even different types.
105
00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:20.120
I know, most people know there might be two, there's
106
00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:20.920
a lot.
107
00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:24.399
Yeah, it's like what And one of the things I
108
00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:27.160
did and getting ready for this is you have an
109
00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:31.199
article on your website, which we'll have information about where
110
00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:34.920
to find that. But that article talks about matching the
111
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:39.399
right form to your body's needs. So what first tipped
112
00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:45.959
you off to there's different things for different different you know,
113
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:46.959
problems here.
114
00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:49.639
So yeah, that a lot of that again is just
115
00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:52.199
from school, Like I had to know what types of
116
00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:54.720
magnesium affected the gut and what is going to affect
117
00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:57.920
your sleep. And then some of them aren't even magnesium
118
00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:00.360
that you're going to take orally that sometimes we're you know,
119
00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:04.000
epsom salt is actually a form of magnesium. People don't
120
00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:07.959
know that. There's also magnesium chloride which you actually can
121
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:10.480
put on as a lotion and rub into your legs
122
00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:14.480
for muscle recovery. So it's there's so many different forms,
123
00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:17.319
and then we have to be mindful, Like if I
124
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:19.600
have a client come to me and they have irrital
125
00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:22.600
vowel syndrome and they lean loose stool, if I give
126
00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:25.839
them certain magnesium, I'm going to make their life miserable.
127
00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:28.959
So it's you have to be kind of you need
128
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:31.240
to be mindful of what you're giving. And then we
129
00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:34.360
also have to understand all of the layers that it's
130
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:37.800
going to affect and then how is that absorbed. So
131
00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:41.519
the absorption is key because you can't actually absorb magnesium
132
00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:45.560
without boron. But then there's certain types specifically for bone
133
00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:48.040
health that you need vitamin D and you need vitamin
134
00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:52.439
K two can't absorb it properly, so even there, like
135
00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:55.680
your absorption is completely different depending on what you're taking.
136
00:07:56.759 --> 00:08:01.480
Well, I'm thinking of a gine RMA's bottle that I
137
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:05.959
saw at Costco and I can't and do you do
138
00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:07.800
you know the one I'm talking about? And they were
139
00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:10.480
like the little people, the people at the little tables,
140
00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:14.480
and they're hype being certain products. Okay, well this was
141
00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:18.639
like a giant bottle of magnesium gummies.
142
00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:20.839
Oh sure, And.
143
00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:26.279
It feels like like magnesium is having like all this
144
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:29.160
hype around it. Do you feel like that's the case
145
00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:29.839
these days?
146
00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:33.080
Yeah, So a lot of our soil doesn't have the
147
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:35.440
same amount of minerals that we used to have in
148
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:38.720
Magnesium is one of those. And so I kind of
149
00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:42.159
feel like magnesium is starting to become talked about almost
150
00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:44.799
like vitamin D, where really doesn't matter where you live
151
00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:46.919
on the planet, you should probably be taking vitamin D.
152
00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:49.600
We're just not absorbing it like we used to. So
153
00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:51.879
I live in the South, I still have to take
154
00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:56.039
vitamin D. That's kind of the conversation around magnesium right
155
00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:58.600
now as well, is are we getting enough because your
156
00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:04.399
your body utilizes magnesium almost immediately. There's about two forms
157
00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:06.639
that it slows down and it doesn't get absorbed in
158
00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:09.440
the gut in the same way. But most of your
159
00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:13.639
magnesium it is, it is absorbed and used pretty much
160
00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:16.360
on the spot, which is why it's really hard also
161
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:19.360
to measure magnesium. So some people want to go get
162
00:09:19.399 --> 00:09:22.519
a blood test. It's really hard for a blood test
163
00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:26.279
to accurately measure magnesium, especially all the different kinds. So
164
00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:30.320
if someone says, oh, I have really low magnesium, that's
165
00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:33.960
really hard to determine. So we look at symptoms more.
166
00:09:34.039 --> 00:09:36.480
We look at how are you feeling, We look at
167
00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:38.360
your bone health, we look at your muscles, we look
168
00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:41.799
at your energy, we look at your cognitive function. We
169
00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:44.679
look at those things and then we can kind of
170
00:09:44.759 --> 00:09:47.159
understand is magnesium necessary here?
171
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:52.039
Well, you know, and a lot of the people that
172
00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:59.639
our listeners are getting ready to retire, they're more mature,
173
00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:06.600
right sure, And so for those people, what is there
174
00:10:06.639 --> 00:10:12.039
a certain type or form of magnesium that would be
175
00:10:12.200 --> 00:10:14.279
the type the thing that they should be getting.
176
00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:14.960
Is there?
177
00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:17.759
You know, It's just it sounds like you don't just
178
00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:20.240
take anything. You have to look at what is it
179
00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:24.320
what is the problem. So for people who are more
180
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:27.399
in the retirement years, the last third of their life,
181
00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:31.840
I'm saying, you know that sixty to one hundred, you know,
182
00:10:32.039 --> 00:10:35.159
because now we have a whole lot more people living longer.
183
00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:38.799
But is there is there one particular one that they
184
00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:42.240
should be looking at or is still looking at what
185
00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:43.879
is my problem? What's my issue?
186
00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:49.000
One that I really would recommend that helps with anxiety,
187
00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:53.440
poor sleep, erasing mind, but also like your bone health
188
00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:59.080
is called magnesium glyconate. It's g l y c I
189
00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:04.159
n at. You can also see it as biglycinate. But
190
00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:07.840
that one does multiple things that are really beneficial for people,
191
00:11:08.279 --> 00:11:12.559
and so I do recommend that. There's a really great
192
00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:18.399
supplement called Calm, and Calm has magnesium glycinate in it,
193
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:21.559
and it also has two other things that I love.
194
00:11:21.879 --> 00:11:23.600
One of them is an amino acid, and then one
195
00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:27.360
of them is a neurotransmitter, but it's elfianine in gabb up.
196
00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:30.240
Those help to calm a whole lot of things down.
197
00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:33.519
So if you take that, you'll probably feel more refreshed
198
00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:36.240
in the morning. It takes care of your bones, it's
199
00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:39.279
very relaxing. It's one of my favorites. It's not going
200
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:41.600
to upset your stomach either. So that's one of the
201
00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:44.159
big that's one of the big kickers with magnesium is
202
00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:47.279
if you have stomach issues, you want to be very
203
00:11:47.320 --> 00:11:49.960
careful with the type that you take because you can
204
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:53.440
make your stomach issues worse, or if you lean constipated,
205
00:11:53.480 --> 00:11:56.360
they could make things a whole lot better. It just depends.
206
00:11:57.639 --> 00:12:02.320
So for that, like for that, magnesium citrate is really
207
00:12:02.360 --> 00:12:05.799
great for constipation, but if you lean loose stool, stay
208
00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:10.919
away from it. It's gonna make your way. Yeah.
209
00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:14.879
Well, the other thing that I've been doing my own
210
00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:19.399
little research before this was that magnesium needs to be
211
00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:25.399
paired with another molecule to another molecule to be absorbed.
212
00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:27.919
And the thing that I become much more aware of
213
00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:31.840
is this whole issue of absorption, So what's the deal
214
00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:33.919
with having to be paired with something else?
215
00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:37.879
So what most people don't know is a lot of
216
00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:41.399
the nutrients that we take in, we can't actually absorb
217
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:44.399
them very well without something we called enzymes. So enzymes
218
00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:47.799
are just like a key to a door. So when
219
00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:51.799
those enzymes actually get paired with the nutrients, then the
220
00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:55.159
body can take them up One of the greatest ways
221
00:12:55.159 --> 00:12:58.480
of introducing those enzymes is with stomach acid, and so
222
00:12:59.360 --> 00:13:03.360
older mature people have lower stomach acid, and so we
223
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:06.039
look at, do we need to add some more support
224
00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:09.440
for stomach acid so that you can absorb those nutrients.
225
00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:12.600
Same thing with protein, same thing with B vitamins. So
226
00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:16.360
when it comes to magnesium, though, boron is one of
227
00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:19.279
the number one enzymes that will pretty much turn on
228
00:13:19.399 --> 00:13:23.120
almost all forms of magnesium. Okay, step for the one
229
00:13:23.159 --> 00:13:26.000
for bone health, that is, you're gonna need vitamin D
230
00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:28.919
two and you're gonna need vitamin K three. The reason
231
00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:32.559
you need those two isn't necessarily just to turn it
232
00:13:32.600 --> 00:13:36.919
all on. It's because you need we call them osteoblasts,
233
00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:40.200
and it's the cells that create new bone health. We
234
00:13:40.279 --> 00:13:43.159
need those to get activated at the same time, and
235
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:45.919
so we need vitamin D two, we need vitamin K
236
00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:48.879
and then we need that magnesium at the same time
237
00:13:49.000 --> 00:13:53.559
that biglcinate or glycinate, whichever one you want to call it.
238
00:13:53.559 --> 00:13:58.320
It's both. We need that all together, and so it's
239
00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:00.879
kind of like a soup that we need everything to
240
00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:03.240
go into, and it's like a recipe that your body
241
00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:06.320
reads really really well. Once you have all of the
242
00:14:06.399 --> 00:14:09.440
right enzymes to turn everything on.
243
00:14:10.759 --> 00:14:13.080
So, so can you talk just a little bit more
