So today we're going to talk about how to determine nutrient deficiencies based on looking

at your nails.

Now I've done a webinar on this topic before which is more of a complete video talking

about the hair, the skin, and the side of the mouth.

So you can check that out.

I put a link down below.

But in this video we're going to focus just on your nail.

Now your nail gives a lot of clues on what's going on internally relating to your nutrients

and your foods.

So let's kind of go through step-by-step.

Let's start with vertical ridges.

That could be a slow thyroid, hypothyroid condition.

But it could also be a deficiency in vitamin B12 or iron.

But if you're deficient in iron, you're going to have probably one or two ridges which

are going to be a little bit bigger.

If your nails are brittle and they break easily, usually a deficiency in folate.

This comes from leafy greens.

People that have brittle nails usually do not consume enough vegetables.

Also a deficiency in biotin which is related to your flora of your good bacteria because

your microbes actually can make biotin.

Now, if you have a history of taking antibiotics or you have some digestive issue, you may

be deficient in biotin just from that.
