In this podcast, we’re going to talk about what’s behind a glute cramp on keto.  

Let’s say you have:

 • A cramp or muscle spasm in your butt

 • You’ve been diagnosed with deep gluteal spasm

 • You’ve been diagnosed with piriformis syndrome 

It all goes back to an electrolyte deficiency. Primarily, it is a sodium deficiency. What this really means is that you aren’t consuming enough sea salt. 

When you start keto or intermittent fasting, you lose a lot of water. With the water loss, you also lose sodium. 

You need to increase the amount of sodium you’re getting. If you’ve tried potassium, magnesium, and calcium for cramps and it hasn’t worked—you need to try adding more sea salt.

I would recommend 1-2 teaspoons of sea salt per day. If you’re exercising you may need 2 teaspoons.

To get more sodium, you can:

 • Add more sea salt to your food

 • Add sea salt to your water with lemon

 • Take sea salt capsules

**Himalayan sea salt is the best to have.
