hi guys dr. Burke here in this video

we’re going to talk about spoon nails

well you’re actually your nail starts

bending backwards okay that is a iron

deficiency and some of the common causes

would be and ulcer some type of mail

absorption problem in your intestine

hemorrhoids colitis which is

inflammation in your colon because you

can’t absorb it but the probably the

most common cause is low hydrochloric

acid in your stomach and because you

need a strong acidic stomach to absorb

these minerals if you don’t have a

strong acid stomach

you also get heartburn acid reflux GERD

at the same time indigestion so that’s

why it’s so important to get that

stomach really working good so even if

you’re a vegetarian you may get non-heme

type iron from you know here’s some good

sources like yellow beans spirulina

spinach lentils ginger sesame seeds but

those have to be those are only absorbed

a certain amount but the actual active

form of iron that goes into the blood

and helps you carry oxygen that

basically comes from more animal

products or seafood or fish clams by the

way have the highest amount of iron then

pork liver I know you’re going to

probably do that right lamb kidney

oysters octopus mussels red meat so all

the foods that a lot of people don’t

consume on a regular basis so it could

be just some basic malabsorption problem

in your intestine it’s that’s a real

common thing as well IBS which is

irritable bowel syndrome

again another inflammation in your gut

or parasites okay so if you have a

problem with a spoon now you just want

to start consuming more iron if you want

to get it as a supplement

get the food base ones probably some

liver pills some grass-fed liver pills

that’s what I would do so in summary we

want to find out the cause of why you’re

not absorbing iron it’s rarely lacking

in the diet it’s mainly one of these

right here
