Today, we’re going to look at 16 common signs of nutrient deficiencies. First, let’s look at why you might be deficient in the first place. Here are some of the common causes of nutrient deficiencies:
• Not eating nutrient-dense foods
• Eating foods grown in depleted soils or grown in water (hydroponics)
• Genetic weaknesses
• Low stomach acids
• No gallbladder/gallbladder issues
The following symptoms are 16 signs your body needs more nutrients.
1. Brittle nails–protein deficiency
2. Blue sclera–iron deficiency
3. Pain in right scapula–bile deficiency
4. Tetany (twitching)–magnesium deficiency
5. Flaky, scaly skin–omega-3 deficiency
6. High blood pressure–potassium deficiency
7. Excessive worrying–vitamin B1 deficiency
8. Hyperthyroidism–boron deficiency
9. Hypothyroidism–selenium deficiency
10. Hip clicking/joint clicking–vitamin D3 deficiency
11. Low testosterone–zinc deficiency
12. Slow hair growth–manganese deficiency
13. Premature gray hair–vitamin B5 deficiency
14. Red gums–vitamin C deficiency
15. Feeling weak–sodium deficiency
16. Bruising easily–vitamin K1 deficiency
If you’re deficient in any of the trace minerals like boron or manganese, be sure to take a blend of trace minerals rather than taking them individually.

Thanks for watching! I hope this helps you assess any nutritional deficiencies you might have. I’ll see you in the next video.
I’m going to cover the 16 signs that your body needs more nutrition now the problem is when I teach you this information you’re probably going to want to evaluate your friends and family and neighbors if you do that don’t mention my name sometimes it offends people if you’re talking about certain I
Don’t know skin problems they have on their nose or something like that so we’re going to dive through all 16 but you need to kind of know first of all why people are deficient it could be because you’re just not eating nutrient-dense Foods or you’re eating
Foods that are grown on soils that don’t have the right nutrition or even like grown in water like hydroponic you can also be deficient if you have genetic weaknesses or if you have low stomach acid and you can’t break down certain things like proteins and you can’t extract minerals or let’s say for
Example you don’t have a gallbladder or you have a gallbladder problem you’re not going to be able to absorb vitamin A d e and K all right here we go let’s Dive Right In number one brittle nails this usually means low protein and this is common in horses
Because a horse will keep eating until it gets enough protein and sometimes if there’s too much carbohydrate in the grass like in the spring they’ll end up eating too much just because they’re trying to get enough protein in the process to get too many carbs and this
Is really common in humans we keep eating until we get enough protein and so if you’re eating a bag of chips for example has no protein it’s very easy to down many bags of chips because we constantly are trying to fulfill this protein requirement all right number two
Blue Scara and what’s happening is you are iron deficient okay anemic the whites of your eyes are starting to turn blue okay and you’re seeing this transparent collagen which allows us to see the Venus part of your blood which is blue all right if you have pain in
The tip of your scapula on the right side that means you are deficient in bile from the gallbladder and if you’re deficient in bio you’ll tend to develop gall stones all right the next one is tetany it’s that little twitch that just kind of Twitches underneath the left eye
Or could be on the arm what that is is a magnesium deficiency magnesium regulates this amount of calcium and so now we don’t have the normal contraction and relaxation going on because the lack of magnesium accelerates the nerve impulses so you get this like this extra twitching thing that goes on in your
Body next one flaky scaly skin that is a classic omega-3 deficiency it also could mean you’re consuming too much of the Omega 6 because they both compete as in too much soy oil or corn oil or Canola or cotton seed oil or safflower oil or sunflower oil instead you want to have
More uh like fish oil especially like cod oil next one is high blood pressure the first deficiency that I would look at is a potassium deficiency pottassium supports the tone of the arteries it helps keep the arteries softened and it also helps reduce adrenaline and reduce the sympathetic nervous system that
Flight or fight mechanism that keeps your blood pressure high also potassium helps regulate the fluids especially balancing out sodium all right next one is excessive worry okay this is a classic B1 deficiency if you took some B1 you would feel really calm and you wouldn’t worry as much even though
There’s something to worry about your worrying is going to be a lot less all right next one is hyperthyroidism the deficiency for this one is boron now if you were going to take Boron I would recommend you also take it with uh all of the trace minerals at the same time
So that way you don’t knock out another Trace mineral because they all tend to work together but boron’s for a lot of different things it’s actually in borax like laundry detergent but boron’s also important for your bone health it helps increase magnesium absorption and it can also reduce inflammation but it’s also
Good for someone who has a hyper thyroid problem all right next one is hypothyroidism the key Trace mineral for this that’s usually deficient is something called selenium selenium allows the conversion from a T4 to to the T3 the active form of the thyroid hormone so when you think about
Hashimoto think selenium next one is hip clicking or joint clicking if you’re getting this excessive clicking the deficiency in this situation is vitamin D3 now to fix it you have to increase your vitamin D3 to at least 20,000 iuse or more because one really interesting function of vitamin D3 is remodeling of
The joint pretty wild eh all right next one is low testosterone this is a classic zinc deficiency zinc will increase testosterone the way you become deficient with zinc is eating too many grains Okay because of the phytic acid or too much refined sugar one of the
Best foods for zinc is red meat or shellfish or seafood all right next one is your hair is just taking way too long to grow what’s defici in this situation usually is manganese okay the trace mineral called manganese again anytime you take a trace mineral uh take it in a
Blend of all of the trace minerals next one is premature graying of your hair this is usually a vitamin B5 deficiency now vitamin B5 is good also for your adrenals and of course the more support you have with the adrenals the less stress but vitamin B5 also supports
This enzyme called catalase which can then help clear out more of the hydrogen peroxide which can build up in the body next one is red gums this is a classic vitamin C deficiency it could also be that you’re consuming too much sugar because vitamin C and sugar compete and
One of the foods that has the most vitamin C is raw sauerkraut next one is feeling weak this is a sodium deficiency you just need to consume more sea salt and last one is you’re bruising easily okay this is a vitamin K1 deficiency now if you want to learn more about the
Different signs of nutritional deficiencies if you haven’t seen this video it’s very interesting I’ll put it up right here
