Your Body’s Urgently Trying to Tell You Something

Summary

This video explores 18 signs that indicate your body may be deficient in essential nutrients, emphasizing the importance of addressing root causes rather than just symptoms. From skin tags signaling blood sugar issues to brittle nails, restless legs, and chronic coughs, each symptom is linked to specific nutrient deficiencies like vitamins B1, B6, C, D, E, A, magnesium, zinc, iodine, and omega-3s. The guide highlights how diet, supplementation, and lifestyle adjustments can prevent or correct these deficiencies. Viewers will gain practical insights into recognizing nutrient imbalances and strategies for maintaining optimal health through targeted nutrition.

Takeaways

• 😀 Skin tags may indicate blood sugar issues like pre-diabetes or diabetes; reducing carbs and increasing protein can help.
• 😀 Itchy skin or private areas can be caused by fungal overgrowth, often linked to antibiotics or steroids; reducing sugar and supporting immunity with vitamin D helps.
• 😀 Restless legs at night may signal a vitamin B1 (thiamine) deficiency, which can be corrected with B1 and magnesium.
• 😀 Tingling or numbness in toes and feet is often related to nerve issues caused by B1 deficiency, common in diabetics.
• 😀 Bleeding gums are a sign of vitamin C deficiency; whole food sources like bell peppers, kiwis, and lemons are recommended.
• 😀 Chronic cough can result from calcium deficiency or acid reflux; dietary calcium and remedies like betaine hydrochloride may help.
• 😀 Carpal tunnel syndrome is linked to vitamin B6 deficiency; supplementation with P5P form is suggested.
• 😀 Brittle nails indicate a biotin deficiency, which can be addressed with biotin supplements.
• 😀 Low magnesium can cause early morning cramps, migraines, and chest pain; magnesium glycinate at night is effective.
• 😀 Zinc deficiency can manifest as ulcers, gastritis, low libido, or white dots on nails; supplementation and dietary correction are key.
• 😀 Vitamin E deficiency may contribute to chest or heart-related pain and reduced oxygen capacity; tocatrienols are recommended.
• 😀 Dry, scaly skin often indicates an imbalance between omega-6 and omega-3 fats; fish oil and cod liver oil help restore balance.
• 😀 Sodium deficiency can cause fatigue, insomnia, and weak muscles; increasing salt intake can quickly resolve these issues.
• 😀 Raised bumps on the back of arms are a sign of vitamin A deficiency; animal sources like liver, egg yolk, and cheese are effective.

Q & A

What do skin tags indicate about your health?

Skin tags are often a sign of blood sugar imbalance and can indicate pre-diabetes or diabetes. Checking your A1C levels can confirm this, and dietary adjustments can help reverse type 2 diabetes.

Why might someone experience intense itching, especially at night?

Intense itching can result from fungal overgrowth such as candida or yeast, often triggered by antibiotics or steroids. Reducing sugar intake and supporting immunity with vitamin D can help.

What nutrient deficiency is commonly associated with restless leg syndrome?

Vitamin B1 (thiamine) deficiency is linked to restless leg syndrome due to lactic acid buildup. Magnesium is also needed to help B1 work effectively.

Which symptoms suggest a B1 deficiency affecting the nerves?

Tingling or numbness in toes or the bottom of the feet can indicate nerve issues due to B1 deficiency, particularly in individuals with high carbohydrate intake or diabetes.

How can bleeding gums be addressed nutritionally?

Bleeding gums are often caused by vitamin C deficiency. Consuming whole-food sources of vitamin C, such as bell peppers, kiwis, lemons, and limes, can help strengthen capillaries and improve gum health.

What are the causes of chronic cough related to nutrient deficiencies?

Chronic cough may result from calcium deficiency or acid reflux. Calcium-rich foods like high-quality cheese can help, while betaine hydrochloride can address acid reflux.

Which nutrient deficiency is linked to carpal tunnel syndrome?

Vitamin B6 deficiency is associated with carpal tunnel syndrome. Taking the active form P5P can reduce swelling and protect nerves.

What causes white dots on nails, and how can they be corrected?

White dots on nails are typically a sign of zinc deficiency, which is worsened by sugar consumption. Correcting the diet and supplementing zinc can resolve this issue.

Why might someone experience early morning cramps or migraines?

These symptoms are often due to magnesium deficiency, which peaks at its lowest level in the early morning. Magnesium glycinate taken before sleep can help prevent these symptoms.

How does vitamin E deficiency affect heart and oxygen capacity?

Vitamin E deficiency reduces the body's oxygen-carrying capacity, affecting heart function and high-altitude performance. Supplementing with tocotrienols can improve oxygen utilization and heart health.

What dietary changes can prevent dry, scaly skin?

Dry, scaly skin often results from too much omega-6 fat and insufficient omega-3 intake. Consuming fish oils or fatty fish like salmon, sardines, or cod liver oil can restore balance and improve skin health.

How can decreased libido be addressed nutritionally?

Decreased libido can be caused by zinc deficiency. Supplementing with 50 mg of zinc a few times daily and then adjusting as symptoms improve can restore sexual health.
