121: Gut Health Essentials with Dr. Will Bulsiewicz

So start off at, let's say it's 500 milligrams. Give it four days. How do you feel? Are you pooping any better? Have you noticed an improvement in your symptoms because you're pooping better? If you're not where you need to be, then I would go from 500 milligrams to 750. Again, give it four days. Allow your body to readjust, reaccommodate. Continue to work your way up.

You can get easily into 1,000, 1,250, or 1,500 milligrams per day. We have research studies with magnesium oxide at 1500 milligrams per day. Now, the key here is that you shouldn't just do this on your own. You should do this in conjunction with your medical doctor just to make sure it's okay. If you have chronic kidney disease, you should not be doing this.

And the thing to bear in mind is that you can very easily get your blood magnesium levels checked. So when you get to the other side where you're on a stable dose and you're maintaining that stable dose of magnesium, you just get your blood level checked and you make sure that it's where you want it to be.

My experience is that the vast majority of time, even when people are taking what sounds like a large amount of magnesium, they're actually right where they wanted to be because they started deficient. And this magnesium is not really absorbed very well. So they end up actually somewhere in the middle of the range of where they're supposed to be, the desired range. So magnesium is the laxative.

Magnesium is the laxative. Yeah. And the way it works is by pulling water into the intestines to help to keep things moving through. So, and then what you do is once you're pooping, phase two is to sprinkle in the fiber supplement. The reason that I don't do the fiber supplement in phase one is because for some people who have pretty significant constipation, that can actually make it worse.
