so I wanted to talk about the six

reasons or causes of cold feet this is

an updated video I did one before on the

five causes there’s some more

information I’m going to talk about

there’s actually probably seven causes

one would be you’re about to get married

and you have cold feet that was a joke

but let’s start with number one low

adrenal hormones okay there’s a

condition called Addison’s disease were

you basically running out of adrenal

hormones and you have extremely low

sodium you have to constantly consume

salt because a big part of the adrenal

function is to regulate minerals

including salt and that would be right

here number four you can actually have

cold feet if you have low sodium okay

and this can occur if you’re on the

ketogenic diet simply because when you

go keto low-carb you lose a lot of fluid

excess fluid and with the fluid you lose

salt and other electrolytes also you’re

giving up a lot of junk foods processed

foods that have a lot of sodium hidden

even bread for example and so when

you’re on keto you do want to increase

the salt the sea salt in your diet and

people that go on keto sometimes they’ll

notice especially in the beginning that

their feet are cold unless they consume

more sea salt

number one is low adrenal hormones or

adrenal fatigue and also this could

cause low blood pressure which could be

another reason why you’re cold as well

number two hypothyroidism this is the

kind of the classic reason why people

are cold you need more iodine and

selenium selenium is needed for the

conversion of hormones like the inactive

to the active form of thyroid hormone

and iodine is needed just to make the

thyroid hormone in the first place so

these two minerals are very important if

you deficient in these minerals

potentially you can actually develop

hypothyroidism now a version of

hypothyroidism called Hashimoto’s

responds pretty well to selenium

selenium also is very beneficial to the

immune system I’m gonna do a separate

video just on selenium okay number three

diet bad egg

especially when you get neuropathies

like you get nerve damage in the lower

extremity or even in the hands you start

losing circulation and in your feet and

your fingers don’t just get cold they

can actually get become numb and they

can have tingling and it’s called

peripheral neuropathy and before I

talked about that you need more salt

because a low sodium diet can cause you

to be cold especially in the feet and

number five is low zinc

okay and number six is low iron as an

anemia that can also cause you to be

cold now the question is which one

relates to you you want to look at some

of the other symptoms that you have to

see which one aligns I put a bunch of

videos down below

for example the symptoms of low zinc or

the symptoms of low iron symptoms of low

sodium so you can kind of differentiate

and figure this out alright guys thanks
