Even organic food may today have less nutrients than it used to 50 years ago.
For example magnesium is widely noted to be a deficiency for people, as it can be depleted in our soils, therefore in the food we grow. Magnesium has around 300 jobs to do in the body: Protein synthesis, muscle and nerve function, blood glucose control, blood pressure regulation, energy production, heart rhythm…… it’s a big list. So without the right amount, the body is struggling. There are many types of magnesium, it’s important to get the right one. Thats where muscle testing comes into play, to discover whether you need it and if so, it’s the right one.
The supplements I would test for initially are magnesium, an omega oil, digestive aid and an adaptogenic herb.
