let’s talk about the nutrient reasons for cold  intolerance so there’s a lot of people that have  

cold sensitivity and they’re they’re  always cold so let’s go into the nutrition  

connection first one is if you are  deficient in iodine selenium or  

zinc all three of these trace minerals are  intimately involved in supporting thyroid function  

iodine is needed as part of the thyroid hormone  itself so when you have like t4 or t3 the three  

and the four represent the number of iodine  molecules as a part of that hormone selenium is  

needed in an essential way to convert the  inactive thyroid hormone to the active thyroid  

hormone which is t3 so we need selenium to do this  conversion we also need zinc to convert as well  

and so if you’re deficient in either one of these  trace minerals that could be one reason why you’re  

cold all right number two low iron as in anemia  or it could be also anemia coming from low b12  

people that have anemia are cold and so the best  source of iron would be not spinach but red meat  

okay and by the way the best source of these trace  minerals are shellfish now iron is also needed  

in the metabolism of brown fat which by the  way has a primary function of thermoregulation  

interesting number three if you have raynaud’s  syndrome where your fingers literally get blue  

when you come in contact with cold that could stem  from a vitamin b1 deficiency because vitamin b1  

is involved in the autonomic nervous system  which helps to push blood through the body  

and so if you have raynaud’s syndrome  definitely take b1 and another vitamin  

that will also help this condition called  inositol hexanocotinate all right number four  

insulin resistance okay if you’re on  keto if you’re doing intermittent fasting  

and you’re finding you get cold chances are  you’re just not fat adapted yet why because  

you have an underlying insulin resistance  situation which could take months to correct  

chromium is probably one of the most important  trace minerals to help keep insulin sensitive and  

so if you’re deficient in chromium then insulin  is not going to be sensitive so it’s going to  

you’re going to have resistance to insulin and  you’re going to have a difficult time adapting to  

burning more fat so chromium a very important  trace mineral to help with this right here now  

at the cellular level we’re talking about the  mitochondria where the energy is being produced  

you have this little factory and you have this  chemical pathway called the krebs cycle and if you  

took biochemistry you know what i’m talking about  almost every chemical change that occurs in that  

cycle of generating energy involves the b vitamins  b1 b2 b3 b5 and b6 so if you’re deficient in the  

b vitamins you’re going to have a difficult time  making cellular energy because the mitochondria  

can’t work and so taking these through nutritional  yeast can definitely increase your overall energy  

as well as your warmth of your your body all right  so there’s other reasons for being cold but these  

mainly are related to the nutrient connection  thanks for watching before you go if you have  

a question about a product or you’re new to keto  and you want to know how to begin keto or you’re  

on keto and you need a debug because it’s not  going as smooth i have a keto consultant standing  

by to help you this is just for the people in  the u.s hopefully in the future we’ll be able  

to answer everyone’s call but i put the number  down below so you can call and get some help
