so today we’re gonna talk about key tool

rash most likely it’s a vitamin b2

deficiency when you do keto and what’s

different about keto is you’re doing

more fat right

well actually b2 is involved in fat

metabolism the more fat that you eat the

more b2 that you will need so if you’re

going into the ketogenic diet with a

vitamin b2 deficiency or even a

subclinical vitamin b2 deficiency

everything is magnified and one of the

big symptoms of not having enough b2 is

skin issues dandruff it’s called

sybaritic

dermatitis where the skin is rough and

scaly is really a b2 deficiency and you

can have cracked skin on your heels

around your mouth around your nose it’s

really a b2 deficiency and then another

question people have is like why would I

have a subclinical deficiency of b2 well

it could be you don’t have enough

hydrochloric acid in your stomach

without hydrochloric acid you can’t

break down the food to extract the

vitamins so this would be very common

and the way that you would know that you

would have an hydrochloric acid

deficiency is if you had heartburn or

GERD or you have gas or you have pain of

stomach when you eat protein also the

use of a tanning bed can create a

vitamin b2 deficiency this is a big one

consuming a lot of refined foods refined

grains alcohol will do it gut damage so

let’s say you’re consuming enough b2

from the diet but you can’t absorb it

because you have either IBS Crohn’s or

celiac or some type of inflammation your

gut another really common problem right

here and liver damage is another common

one whether you have a fatty liver or

cirrhosis or inflammation now to correct

this condition

most people will handle it using

nutritional yeast however some people if

they’re very deficient might need to

take b2 as a separate supplement I would

take a version that is called activated

and you can find it online anywhere
