Today let’s talk about the nutrients you could be deficient in if you have cold intolerance—you’re cold all of the time.

Potential nutrient deficiencies that could cause cold intolerance:

1. Low iodine, selenium, or zinc
• These trace minerals are involved in supporting thyroid function. The best source of these trace minerals is shellfish.

2. Low iron
• People with anemia typically have cold intolerance. This could come from low iron or low vitamin B12. The best source of iron is red meat. Iron is also needed for the metabolism of brown fat, which has a primary function of thermal regulation.

3. Low vitamin B1
• Raynaud’s syndrome can stem from a vitamin B1 deficiency. With Raynaud’s syndrome, your fingers may turn blue when you come in contact with the cold. Both vitamin B1 and inositol hexanicotinate may be beneficial.

4. Low chromium
• If you’re doing healthy keto and intermittent fasting, but you find you get cold easily, you are probably not fat-adapted yet. You may have an underlying insulin resistance situation. Chromium is an important trace mineral that can help keep insulin sensitive and can help you become more adapted to fat-burning.

5. Low vitamin B1, B2, B3, B5, and B6
If you’re deficient in B vitamins, you could have a hard time making cellular energy because the mitochondria can’t work. Taking these B vitamins through nutritional yeast may help increase your overall energy as well as the warmth of your body.

How could someone give so much for free and be hated at the same time, God bless you Dr. Berg!

[brittanyholtgreven]

Can't wait to watch this! My husband always jokes I could be on fire and still complain about being cold

[fubao]

Iodine, selenium zinc : shell fish
Iron: red meat
Chromium vital for IR

Dr. Berg, you truly deserve all the respect and appreciation in the world. Every word you say just makes sense! Thank you, really.

I used to feel the cold so easily but Iv had cold showers for a week, and now im addicted to them. Iv found that I can handle colder weather much easier now.

In the mornings I sometimes walk around in the house with four layers, a scarf and beanie.. while the people I live with wear a t-shirt. Lol. This video is very relevant to me.

I have hypothyroidism and if I miss my kelp and selenium for a couple days. I absolutely freeze to death. I take a lot of the other vitamins he mentions too and it has helped me so much. ❤️ Dr.Berg

Just want to add here that I got a lot out of practising the Win Hof Method. I used to really hate the onset of winter. The deep breathing exercise doesn't particularly warm me up, the way other people have reported, but it has encouraged me to expose myself to cold, and in so doing, I've become more tolerant of being cold.

[ineedhoez]

I started taking iodine. I do a about 12 mg a day but I relieved my cold symptoms with a 150mc dose. My thermostat was set to 78 and I brought it down to 73 now.

[patriciacarlyle]

I used to go to bed feeling chilly, then get colder and colder til it felt like the cold was coming from inside of me. It would take over an hour to fall asleep. I didn’t give off any body heat and couldn’t warm the bed. I finally learned to stretch out and relax and let the blood flow. I think it was thyroid related with me

[Mayousse]

Story of my life & everyone around me is sweating. 🙁

[mathewthecrow]

Ive been slowly developing that blue finger syndrome thing for so long. Thanks man for finally giving me some info on how i might be able to relieve it

[missy]

Definitely a video for us scottish folk who don't get any dam sun and always freezing 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😂🌧☔ Thank u Dr 💞

[LilHeartMusic]

I have Thalasaemia from the Sicklecell trait so I am freezing always. Electric blanket and vitamins is keeping me going. Been on keto since hospital last year, so I am fat adapted. They've almost doubled the price of Nutritional yeast over the years. I guess that's how popular you are...Lost over 100lbs now...always cold...🥶😇🙋🏾‍♀️✨

[MP-kcsl]

I live in a tropical climate. 80°F is cold, 70°F is freezing. Good thing we rarely reach the 70's though it's quite annoying to be sweating all year round even when you're barely moving.

I've just started taking a chromium supplement. I hope it works for me.

[MsDestinedtoReign]

Thanks Doc, feel the cold terribly, often pray for a 🔥 Flush and don’t even get them anymore🥺

[Mkube]

That's why I can't stand it when the fan is on🥺🥺

[dalestanley]

circulatory problems in my hands are probably the reason they're also cold to touch even if the weather isn't a factor.
