In this video, I want to talk to you about the signs, symptoms, causes, and treatment of low potassium.
Low potassium is one of the number one deficiencies. However, it most often goes undetected. When you take a blood test, it simply doesn’t show up. Why? Because the majority of potassium resides inside the cell. You have to be very deficient in potassium for it to show up on a blood test.
The best way to find out if you have a potassium deficiency is to look at the symptoms.
Here are some of the common symptoms of a potassium deficiency:
• High blood pressure
• Muscle cramps
• Sugar cravings
• Constipation
• High insulin
• Muscle weakness
• Abnormal heartbeat
• Insomnia
• Anxiety
The need for insulin actually decreases when you have enough potassium.
What causes low potassium? There are numerous reasons you might have low potassium levels. Here are some of the most common ones:
• Vomiting
• Poor diet
• Ketosis
• Diuretic
• Diabetes
• High cortisol
• Excess H2O
• Sugar
How can you increase your potassium level? Many people believe that bananas are the best source of potassium. However, bananas contain only 300mg of potassium. You need 4,700mg of potassium. You would have to consume 15 bananas, which would add a lot of sugar to your diet.
Instead, you want to consume plenty of fresh vegetables. I recommend 7-10 cups each day. Avocados, spinach, salad, and cucumbers are great sources of potassium.
My healthy version of the keto diet includes plenty of vegetables to help replenish electrolytes.

Dr. Berg discusses potassium and the importance of this electrolyte. Your heart, your fluid, your energy, your nutrients in and out of the cell is dependent on the sodium and potassium pump. However, potassium is the most difficult to get from the diet. High levels of cortisol (stress), insulin, sugar, diuretics, excessive salt, surgery, all can deplete potassium. However, you need between 7-10 cups of salad or veggies to get your daily requirement of 4700mg.
Hey guys, Dr. Berg here. I want to do a video on the most important electrolyte. Let me explain what an electrolyte is if you ever take salt and put it in the water and dissolve it, the sodium and chloride disconnect and they become two separate minerals and that fluid is very electrically conductive. Basically, electrolytes have to do with minerals that help conduct electricity in the body. They help with a lot of different things. As far as the electrolytes, it will be like potassium, sodium, magnesium, calcium, chlorides, and all those minerals. Potassium out of all the electrolytes is the one that we need in very large quantities. Why is that? Why do we need potassium in a large amount? I am talking 4,700 mg to 6,000 mg every single day and that is equivalent to 7 to 10+ cups of salad or vegetables every single day. Let’s go dig further into exactly why we need potassium. There is something in the body called a sodium-potassium pump. It is built in a little protein connected to an enzyme, it forms a whole enzyme in the surface of your cells and you will have between 8,000 to 30million of this little tiny pumps and they are little generators that generate electricity to allow things to go through the cell so it takes a lot of energy, in fact, the energy of 1/3 of your diet goes to running those pumps. You also have another pump in the stomach called the hydrogen potassium ATPs, it is basically another pump that is built with a potassium that allows you to create stomach acid to help you digest. These pumps are also in the muscles, nervous systems and the pumps in the nervous system used about 60% of your body’s chloric intake of energy. In other words, these pumps are really critically important in exchanging nutrition, glucose, amino acids, and other minerals to allow them to transport in other cells. Potassium is essential for building the pumps to allow these functions right here, they charge the cell electrically, so your cells have a certain voltage to allow things to work and go in and out of the cell to create different energy. In fact, your energy that you have that controls your metabolism is controlled partly by these little pumps. So it charges the cell electrically, it gives you energy. It helps the muscle contract and relaxes because it allows calcium to go into the cell as well. It controls the transport of calcium.
