Why You Keep Pulling Muscles (even when you stretch) 🙆‍♀️

A lot of recurring muscle pulls, cramps, and “tightness” aren’t actually a flexibility problem — they’re a mineral balance issue.

Your muscles and nerves rely on minerals to contract and relax:

• Calcium = contraction + nerve stability

• Magnesium = relaxation

• Sodium & Potassium = smooth, steady nerve firing

• Vitamin D + K2 = help calcium go into bones and tissues

When calcium is low, the nerves fire too easily → muscles stay tight, reactive, and prone to pulling.

This often looks like:

• Tight calves/hamstrings that won’t stretch out

• Foot or jaw cramps

• Tendons feeling irritated or “grabby”

And a common pattern is:

People increase magnesium, but don’t have enough calcium + potassium to balance it.

Once the minerals are supported together, the muscles relax naturally.

Simple support:

🧂 Add sea salt to water

🥔 Eat potassium-rich foods

🥛 Get calcium from whole foods

🥬 Take magnesium in the evening

💊 Pair D3 with K2.
