    Is there a recommendation for an osteopath who can assess the skeletal alignment?

    Thanks for the video, informative as always. I don’t use potassium supplement or crave salt actually. It is the usual hustle and bustle of life but nothing super stressful for me. Tried to remove stress factors and opt a chilled lifestyle What would be the most optimum functional range for these two minerals? And what can we do to improve the parameters other than addressing any underlying stress factors?

    just realized you were also asking about the potassium and sodium. have attached the results. Always wondered if that ratio is optimum or not for me? Magnesium was checked years ago and was bit low but I have been trying to supplement since then as much as possible. Will retest for it too in the next check up

    I had a look but those don’t seem to be tested at the time. I am actually due soon for my annual check up. Will ask for those tests too then. Also, any feedback on the MCV results?

     It is an orthopedic doctor asked for the MRI. I agree that these scans may not yield all the answers we need, however, from insurance policies point of view, we do need to get referrals from these doctors for physio and rehabilitation sessions which always helped me to deal with muscle or spine issues in the past. 

    But since I do get these muscle problems fair bit, I want to look into deeper all the other potential underlying issues you and  pointed out. 

    Regarding magnesium, you mentioned elemental MG. In the past, I had been recommended by my functional medicine doctor to use Magnesium Aspartate for better muscle relaxant. Any comment on the right type of the magnesium? 

    How about the electrolytes? Since I do go to gym a lot, I have recently started using electrolytes. Some sugar free electrolyte recommendations would be great as well. Thanks

     Here is a copy of the B12 and Glucose test results.   Looking forward to your view on the levels. [B12 GLUCOSE.pdf]

    Also, the pins and needles are not permanent and I feel it only in certain positions. I understand the impact nutrition deficiency and hot it would potentially lead to muscle weaknesses and injuries but not having the problem continuously makes me think of a tight muscle problem more than anything.
    I actually have changed my magnesium supplements and started having this issue as I don’t think I was getting enough. I do go to gym fair bit, so not replenishing the reserves is a problem
    I am back using Allergy Research magnesium tablets and already feeling a lot better in the shoulder

    It is without contrast. I have been checked before for b12 and blood sugar levels which were both fine but haven’t been tested for the rest of the nutritions. Would you recommend getting these test done and ruling that out first or shall I run the MRI in parallel ?
