Keto Electrolyte & Mineral Replenishment Solver
Low baseline insulin causes your renal tubules to dump sodium and fluid. Calculate your exact elemental milligram requirements across sodium, potassium, and magnesium, translated into real whole foods and salt.

Acute Dizziness or Throbbing Headache?
Dissolve 1/2 level teaspoon of unrefined sea salt (approx. 1,150mg elemental sodium) in 8 oz of warm water with a splash of fresh lemon juice, or drink 1 cup of hot salted broth.
The Physiology of Low-Carb Natriuresis
1. The Insulin-Renal Axis
Insulin stimulates epithelial sodium channels (ENaC) in the kidneys. Dropping carbs drops insulin, prompting your kidneys to dump up to 3,000mg of sodium and 4 lbs of extracellular fluid in 72 hours.
2. Aldosterone Potassium Wasting
When blood sodium falls, adrenal aldosterone surges. To desperately reclaim sodium, the kidney is forced to trade and excrete potassium, triggering nighttime calf cramps and heart palpitations.
3. Chemical Chelation
Never buy cheap Magnesium Oxide (4% absorption, severe laxation). Use chelated Magnesium Glycinate or Malate before bed for cellular uptake, actin-myosin relaxation, and deep sleep.
