071: Why You Probably Have Nutrient Deficiencies (If You Have Skin Rashes)

As you probably know by now, your skin is VERY nutrient hungry. Deficiencies can be a root cause helping to drive dysfunction in your skin as well as skin rash flares.

It usually comes as a shock when clients who eat a really fabulous whole foods based diet discover that they are nutrient depleted.

There are a number of reasons why and I figured that I’d take a moment to answer one of the most common questions I’m asked by nearly every single client -- “how could this have happened if I’ve been doing everything right?”

In this episode:

• How you can end up with nutrient deficiencies even when you’re doing everything right with your diet
• What percentage of skin rash clients have nutrient deficiencies
• 4 reasons why you can end up with nutrient deficiencies
• Simple steps to take to figure out if you have deficiencies

It's not uncommon for labs to appear within the normal range or for your doctor to not test thoroughly enough. But what might shock you the most is that 100% of my clients all have nutrient deficiencies. Obviously the deficiencies vary from person to person, but what is similar is this sense of shock especially when they’ve been eating so well for a long period of time. They thought they were doing everything right only to discover that the nutrition wasn’t getting absorbed.

Despite what most of us think, your body does not make every nutrient that it needs to thrive. Most nutrients critical to life and your body’s biochemistry (especially what supports healthy skin) must be taken in from food unless you’re supplementing. Poor food quality obviously has a negative impact on your nutrient levels because there are certain levels of specific nutrients that your body requires daily. That’s why periods of low nutrient intake deplete the stores and put you at a deficit.
