Magnesium status (serum + dietary intake audit) — Jackson.

Jackson sits at the center of the Stroke Belt, where cardiovascular and hypertension mortality run well above the national rate — the same region where dietary magnesium intake runs furthest below the RDA. Since hypomagnesemia is independently tied to arrhythmia and insulin resistance (DiNicolantonio 2018), and a normal serum reading can mask a real dietary shortfall, this is exactly the population and exactly the marker a standard panel misses.

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

Serum magnesium with reference range plus a 3-day dietary magnesium-intake log totaled against the RDA, with the serum value flagged only for overt hypomagnesemia and the dietary gap flagged as the actionable finding

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Bring

• accredited-lab requisition (serum magnesium)
• chain-of-custody label
• food scale or portion-estimation guide + 3-day diet log template
• magnesium-content food reference table (leafy greens, nuts, seeds, legumes, whole grains)

Steps

1. 1. Arrange a serum magnesium draw through an accredited lab; note this measures only the ~1% of total-body magnesium in extracellular fluid, so a normal result does not rule out tissue depletion.
2. 2. Record diuretic use, alcohol intake, GI conditions (chronic diarrhea, malabsorption), diabetes status, and any muscle cramps, tremor, palpitations, or arrhythmia history.
3. 3. Capture serum magnesium (mg/dL) with the reference range, then run a 3-day dietary magnesium-intake log (leafy greens, nuts, seeds, legumes, whole grains) and total the average daily intake.
4. 4. Place the serum value against the ~1.7-2.2 mg/dL reference for flagging only, and the dietary intake against the RDA to identify the actionable gap.
5. 5. Attach the lab report and the 3-day log; log both results, the risk-context notes, and a concrete whole-food swap plan to close any dietary gap; sign it.

What counts as done

• Serum magnesium (mg/dL) from an accredited lab with reference range
• 3-day dietary magnesium-intake log completed and averaged against the RDA (400-420 mg/day men, 310-320 mg/day women)
• Diuretic use, alcohol intake, GI/malabsorption history, diabetes status, and any cramps/tremor/palpitation/arrhythmia symptoms recorded

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
