welcome i'm dr janine bowring naturopathic doctor and today i'm discussing nine signs your body is
crying for help and i promise i'm going to share things that you haven't heard of or seen before
make sure you stay tuned right until the end where i share my favorite sign that your body is crying
for help and what you can do about it so let's get right to it welcome in and make sure that you are
subscribed if you're new here and turn on those post notifications so you always get my newest and
latest uploads so sign number one is your eyebrow hair so if the outer third of your eyebrows is
becoming very thin this can be an indication of low thyroid function so this is something that
certainly with hypothyroidism it's very common and whatever we can do of course to support the body
naturally to really help with that thyroid hormone that's really important for our metabolism for our
body temperature and i have other videos that talk about really what's behind the thyroid getting out
of whack in the first place and it has a lot to do with leptin as a little hint so really make sure
that you check out that video all about leptin resistance and you'll learn more about how to
help your thyroid in an indirect but a direct way sign number two is white spots on the nails and
this is an indication of a zinc and potentially an iodine deficiency as well and we know that zinc
and copper work hand in hand with one another so that's important that having both of them
is in the right balance and if you get those white spots on your nails that's an indication of course
that you have to find that balance with your zinc your copper and your iodine sign number three is
canker sores so if you're prone or you know somebody who's prone to getting a
lot of canker sores in the mouth this can be a b12 deficiency so yes that is very common
especially i find in vegetarians or if you're not really eating many animal foods in your diet
sometimes you will need to supplement with b12 and a high quality whole food b12 to be able to absorb
that important vitamin b12 because your body is telling you with those canker sores that you may
be deficient sign number four is cracked lips so if you are suffering from cracked lips and putting
aside the fact that maybe it's winter time where you live very cold and you know you moisten your
lips and then they get very cracked this is more about even at regular temperatures that your lips
could show that sign of dehydration so ensure that you are drinking enough water and good
quality water that is fluoride free and making sure that it is you know either reverse osmosis
or a spring water that has some vital energy in it and some minerals as well really really important
because we have to ensure that we're hydrating our body when we're dehydrated all of our electrical
signals that flow through our body doesn't happen appropriately and this basically shuts down the
functioning of our mitochondria so we have to make sure that we're making our energy appropriately
and being hydrated is a huge part of that so make sure you're drinking your water
now sign number five is red bumps and this is really common and this is called keratosis
polaris so on the backs of the arms it can happen in other parts of the skin as well
and this can be related to a vitamin c deficiency and also it can be related back to the thyroid
function as well and a poor conversion of beta-carotene into vitamin a so ensuring
that you're getting enough vitamin c beta-carotene in your diet is really important and that you're
optimizing your thyroid function so again check out other episodes where i talk about the thyroid
and that's a future show coming up here as well on youtube all about how to get a proper thyroid
function happening in your body because i get so many questions on thyroid function so i promise
that we will put that show together for you as well sign number six is gas and bloating so no
it is not normal to have gas and bloating in the abdominal area and that distention
some people complain to me that you know that they have their tummy looks like they're six or
seven months pregnant by the end of the day or after meals this is simply not normal so
that would be an indication that there's some dysbiosis or an unhealthy microbiome happening
maybe even leaky gut syndrome so these are definitely things that you want to address
and find the root cause as to why that's happening it could be food sensitivities as well
so definitely one of those signs that your body is crying for help and really it's really a
good idea if you pay attention to what your body's telling you and so we have a bunch of other videos
about fixing the gut and the microbiome so make sure you check those out as well now
stay tuned it's coming up my favorite sign of that your body is crying for help it's coming
up in just a moment so make sure you're staying tuned okay let's go on to sign number seven
here's one that you may not have heard about so if you need to wear your sunglasses even on
an overcast day so you just find that the light outside is much too bright for you that is your
body crying for help and this can be very much related to leptin resistance so leptin resistance
is our whole hormonal cascade that's really important and it's really the one of the
first points as to how our body works having that leptin resistance offsets our entire metabolism
and our ability for our nervous system to work as it should which then controls our hormones so
really important that fixing that leptin resistance so i have a whole episode all
about that make sure that you check it out and eventually the more sun that you're allowing and
the natural light outside to come into your eyes the less of a need you're going to find that you
have for your sunglasses which is a healthy thing now certainly you have to be sensible with you
know exposure of light into your eyes but really it is important i think far too many people wear
their sunglasses too much i was guilty of doing the same thing and i've really seen remarkable
changes in my own energy and hormones and everything since i started removing my
sunglasses so something else that i'll be posting very soon about my own experience okay sign number
eight is if you crave sugar so this would be another sign that your body is telling you
that there is an imbalance and a little bit of sugar of course might be okay for most people
but if you crave it you just can't go without having your sweet treats then this could be an
indication that you're actually addicted to sugar and that brain chemical dopamine is something that
is definitely related to sugar addiction so check out my show on sugar addiction i have a
bunch of great tips on how to help you with getting past that addiction and helping to
you know decrease that dopamine connection with that sugar that you may be taking too much of
okay here we are my favorite so sign and symptom number nine that your body is crying for help
if you need an alarm clock to wake up every morning this is an indication that your
circadian rhythms are out of sync so if you rely on that alarm clock number one if you're
not waking up at the same time every morning and it should be close to sunrise that's how
as humans our physiology is made to go with the sun and we have more energy and all our hormones
revolve around that connection with that sunlight especially in the morning if that's not happening
for you and you have to hit the the snooze button on your alarm you know who i'm talking to because
i know you're watching now this is you know a lot of you are in this boat and it's something that
it's an indication that your circadian rhythms aren't set up and your hormones aren't set up to
help you so to help with your metabolism and your thyroid function and your male and female hormones
so really important there are ways to set this up properly for your circadian rhythms one of my best
tips is to make sure that you see that sunrise or very close to the time of sunrise after the
sun has come up get some of that natural sunlight into your eyes it will do wonders for your overall
health so thanks for staying tuned right until the end i hope that you learned something new
