so I think that most people consider a vitamin deficiency coming from a lack of

eating certain things in your diet right and you may know that consuming pure

sugar or refined sugar will cause a vitamin deficiency and of course all the

refined grains and caffeine and if you have a lack of bile let’s say you don’t

have a gall bladder or you have a problem with your liver you can’t make

bile you’re going to be deficient in vitamin

A D and K those are fat soluble vitamins and then if you don’t have enough

microbiome your friendly bacteria you’ll also have vitamin deficiencies and if

you don’t have enough stomach acid you’re not going to be able to absorb

the minerals into your body because you need a very strong acid stomach to

absorb minerals and then there’s the anti nutrients it’s like phytates which

block zinc and tannins which block the B vitamins and then you have ox let’s like

and spinach and rhubarb and almonds which will block calcium the calcium

instead gets stuck in your kidney so there’s a lot of data on these things

but did you realize that stress will also cause vitamin deficiencies

not to mention all sorts of other health problems and especially a lowered immune

system so let’s let’s talk about that so right here we have the Ciba collection

of medical illustrations volume four endocrine system and I’m gonna flip to

the page about cortisol so when we’re talking about stress in the body we’re

really talking about the hormone cortisol cortisol goes up and it creates

a whole series of effects so in this page it talks about several nutrients

becoming lost when you have high levels of chronic output of cortisol but

vitamin b1 deficiency it usually comes from consuming too much refined sugar

but it also comes from having high levels of stress over a period of time

and this is probably one of the reasons when you take b1 you just feel like such

a relief of stress so if you want a nice calm sensation nutritional yeast or

take a natural b1 not the synthetic version and you’re gonna feel very

stress free also vitamin D stress causes the receptor for vitamin D to be

downgraded so that means you’re not going to be able to absorb vitamin D

efficiently and we’re talking about vitamin D deficiencies couple symptoms are anxiety

depression lack of good restorative sleep so vitamin D is very very

important and then we have a zinc deficiency and zinc has a lot to do with

neurotransmitters and stabilizing your mood and then we have a potassium

deficiency which is right on this page people will attempt to lose potassium

when they go through stress and initially they retain sodium so they

have fluid retention so we have low potassium and high sodium so that could

potentially increase your blood pressure cause fluid retention but potassium is

very important in stabilizing your pulse rate for example if your potassium is

low your pulse rate will go up your blood pressure will go up your arteries

will become stiffened so potassium is like a physiological tranquilizer it’s

calming it’s really good for sleep and this is why I recommend a lot of

potassium because our body’s really need 4,700 very few people get this much but

it’s very interesting when a person starts to get this amount from

increasing their vegetables or taking it as the electrolyte they start having

more energy and they start sleeping better and they just feel a lot more

calm and then as stress goes on and your dream will start becoming burnt out then

you start to lose sodium so when your stress is really high this could be one

of the reasons why people crave a lot of salty foods when they’re stressed

alright so if you haven’t seen my video on the stress webinar you should
