Re: Hormones, Foods, and Heart Palpitations

I would check magnesium levels for sure... of course the problem is how... RBC testing is unreliable unless you are suffering w/ hypomagnesia, but you may have normomagnesia in which magnesium in the serum is quite normal, but in the cells could be quite deficient. Hair analysis thru a compentent lab such as trace elements is viable, exatest offers a reliable testing method as well.

Magnesium controls much of the sympathetic nervous system in which the adrenals play a key role in this system. low magnesium will cause hyper sensitivity in the adrenal axis... adrenals will respond to most stimuli including any stressor in which something like food allergies could trigger the immune/adrenal response.

Palpitations are generally a sign of mag deficiency. blood pressure is controlled by the adrenal hormone aldosterone and blood Sugar regulation or dysregulation is predicated by adrenal response (glucocorticoids).

sodium and potassium are other factors that may be addressed as well. /both these are generally regulated by magensium status. You would like to invest in to a quality magnesium (not oxide) like ultra mag by source naturals, or LEF has a quality magnesium, magnesium chloride could be another option. dark leafy green veg, nuts, seeds and grains are excellent sources. try some green drinks, bananas,
try to avoid sugar, and high fats and Calcium -yes calcium will continue to push magnesium out of the way (unless testing reveals that you are calcium def) ....

I also sense that you are vitamin B2 deficient and vitamin C deficient. Check w/ your doctor on these.

I have read that Gerd could be caused by a magnesium deficiency. Also sounds like the problems you are having with carbs is due to a "slow metabolizer" profile.
