Welcome to the Doctor Burg, Healthy Keto and Intermittent Fasting Podcast.

Usually what's behind this is a nutritional deficiency.

Ideally, the best situation is to start these kids out from birth with the right foods,

making sure that there's no nutritional deficiencies. That's the ideal situation.

You see zinc affects smell and taste.

And the other problem is if you're consuming these foods, you're going to create a zinc deficiency.

And if you're consuming refined carbohydrates or sugar, you're going to create a zinc deficiency.
