There are six causes of cold feet I urge you to become familiar with.
Timestamps:
0:00 6 causes of cold feet
1:30 Hypothyroidism is a classic reason why you feel cold
2:50 Check out the links below for more details on how you can figure out which of these causes align to you
In this updated video I describe the six causes of cold feet. (In a previous video I described the five causes.)
Here are the six:
1. Low adrenal hormones. Thereâs a condition called Addisonâs Disease, where youâre basically running out of adrenal hormones and you have extremely low sodium. You constantly want salt. Your adrenals regulate minerals including sodium. You could also develop low blood pressure, leading to cold feet.
2. Hypothyroid. Increase your intake of iodine and selenium. Selenium is necessary for converting inactive thyroid hormone to the active version. You need iodine to make thyroid hormone in the first place. Hashimoto responds pretty well to selenium. And selenium helps your immune system.
3. Diabetic, especially if you get neuropathy. You get nerve damage in your feet, hands, and fingers. They may go numb or you may feel tingling.
4. Low sodium can occur when youâre on the ketogenic diet. When you go keto you lose a lot of excess body fluid, resulting in a loss of salt (and other electrolytes). Youâre also giving up a lot of junk foods, processed foods that contain a lot of sodium. On keto you want to add sea salt to your diet.
5. Low zinc
6. Low iron especially if you have anemia
Which of these symptoms align to yours? I put a number of links below to videos that describe symptoms of low zinc, iron, and sodium so you can figure out whatâs causing your cold feet.

My mom has neuropathy really bad and her fingers and toes are always blue from it. She's cold all the time even in hot weather and I hate seeing her go through it she never experience it until she had breast cancer surgery and after chemo. I pray for everyone who's going through any type of medical condition because I know it's not easy. God bless each and everyone of you!
I have this please pray me also i pray that your mom go well..
â@dmmentopa5754 did you learn which one of these on the video is causing yours? Try 100g-300g of Benfotiamine with 300g Magnesium glycinate.
There's so much research now on thiamine deficiency being common from sugars & processed carbs, alcohol & coffee, certain meds
Make sure when you get your iron levels checked you ask for not only your hemoglobin level but also iron profile AND ferritin. I had cold feet/felt cold for years and my hemoglobin and thyroid were always normal. Wasnât until my hair started thinning that the dermatologist checked my ferritin and it was non existent though again my hemoglobin, thyroid were normal. Also a low normal ferritin may also be related to these symptoms. Once I started on iron my sleep, anxiety, fatigue, hair thinning and cold feet got better...
How long did it take you to feel better ??
Kathleen Kairau the cold feet got better within a month (I used to sleep with a heating pad on my feet every night in the winter), fatigue took maybe 8 weeks - I started to sleep better (and low levels can be associated with restless legs - which I didnât have but I would wake up consistently at 3 am and would have trouble falling back to sleep. I had even had a sleep study before I knew about my iron stores and it was negative for sleep apnea). Hair thinning took about 3-4 months

Hi there . This is great info! Can I ask you what Iron you found that does not cause gut problems or constipation?
@@IndigobluBeautyall you did was take iron?
You are a life saver yet again! Best doctor to ever live! Nutrients are life
I use to have heart problems and one of the symptoms was cold feet. My feet would get very cold at night and sometimes painfully cold. My heart would also cause me sharp pain. I started changing my diet with an elimination diet and I noticed large benefits. That's when i knew that food was far more important than what people actually think is important. I removed a lot of food that caused problems for many people like gluten wheat dairy eggs etc. I currently eat lots of meats vegetables fruits jasmine rice and the only salt I am able to consume is pink Himalayan salt. I have been eating like this for awhile now and feel amazing from what I was eating before. My diet might not be what a standard person eats but it keeps me healthy. The important thing i learned was removing ideas what people consider "healthy".
Are eggs the problem? I suffer with this problem
@@erwinmonzon3723 No, mainly gluten and processed foods that cause problems.
May I ask exactly where was the sharp payân located? Not in the feet I assume
@@itsgenes713 Hello, it's been 3 years since I wrote that message. The sharp pain came from my heart. After many years I learned that eating Gluten was causing me serious health problems and I didn't notice it. However after removing gluten from my diet a lot of my health problems disappeared. I no longer have cold feet and sharp heart pains. I highly recommend removing gluten from your diet.
@@mexicanreformist1522 ah yes, another seemingly unavoidable ingredient like msg that I have to sacrifice for the greater good đ
stress plays also a huge part in this
Great humor, Dr. Berg. I love this video. I didnât know being low in sodium can cause cold feet. Also, I am excited that you are close to 3 million subscribers!
10 million now
I always thought the term "cold feet" was just an old wives tale. But as I get older, whenever I'm watching a movie and they show a shot over the edge of a building, my feet get cold. I used to be an Ironworker in Boston and never had a fear of heights before, boy getting older is awesome.
B1 deficiency? Have you ever tried supplementing Benfotiamine... it regulates your nerves and blood vessels, and is key in glucose metabolism.
*Read the research paper "Hiding in plain sight: Thiamine deficiency "*
Excellent advice and information âđ»
Iâve had cold tingling feeling legs and feet for years, even before ever hearing of âketoâ... I have to do more research...thank you!
Can you do an in depth video on Chemical Allergies and what to do to feel better.. currently suffering from it out of the blue . Thanks
Love your vids, Dr. Berg!
Wow just needed this

I left a long message about drinking coffee with mild sugar in it all day and 1 small meal whenever i realy feel hungry.
I sated how good i feel and that i did this for few weeks.
I tested my ketone levels in my pee and had trace amounts by the morning. I can hear you saying in my head, but spiking your insuline every couple hrs with more mild sweet(2 tsp. in 6oz. coffee w/heavy creamer) coffee goes completely against everything i stand for and my channel. I know and its only for a limited time.
So I drank coffee and had my pea protien powder with 100 plus varieties of friuts and vegetables. I also drink water with your electrolite blend. Which has changed my life! (Thank you) To sum it up, I am super fat adapted and yesteday i drank 7-10 cups of coffee with 2 tsp. per cup and at 5pm I felt so good that i was wuestioning why. Even though I drank sweet coffee all day, I had 15dl/l ketones in urine and 76 glucose/ .3 ketones blood. Wow right?? After consuming, lets say to be fair, 12 tsp. of sugar in a 9 hr. period, and I made small amount of noodles because i am weak sometimes. I checked my ketones an hr. after my last coffee and 20 min. after the noodles at 5pm.
I am questioning how bad this is for the short term of 2-3 weeks and im in ketosis here at the end. Yes i will be craving a small amount of carbs. after i stop the coffee, however it is managable unlike before i started the coffee. Out of control binging feeling like SH*T!!
I know you already get lots of info streaming in so i figured i would at to the bucket.. Thanks for being there Berg! Your channel has helped me more than i could try to explain.
Ps. I live in florida and i saw you on the front of a magazine at the store. đ cool. Its all happening...
You are the best thank you for your efforts
thank you
I'm always cold and have always been cold even as a young child. My feet are always cold too.
I have low blood pressure and cold feet. Do a video about low adrenal hormones, pls!
Same.
Yes please make video
He has a lot of adrenal videos!
Cold feet are the worst! đšâ
LOL I love your jokes! I love how you donât change your tone it makes it so funny! Also, I literally have ALL the signs of insulin resistance, even cold feet, I wear socks to bed in the summer. I took your test and I was pancreatic body type which shocked me. I have been trying to do Keto for past two weeks but when I test my pee Iâm out of Ketosis like once every two days. I might be eating too much protein or just too much in general but Iâm so hungry. Anyone know some tips? I go to the gym and lift weights pretty heavy so that makes me hungry, and the insulinâs resistance probably.
How's your sleep quality and stress?
Dear Dr. Berg, can you please add a video about Raynaud's disease and what can be done to treat it? Would really appreciate it.
B1. Take Benfotiamine + magnesium & B complex to help it absorb. He has vids on it
Thank you for this information Dr. Berg! I always have cold feet and warm hands! After watching your videos, I deduced that I have adrenal fatigue :(
How are you doing now?
Good Day Doc,, Was just going to research this and now here you were with my answer, the Cold Feet, I never add salt to my food, there is always enough flavor for me, but as I see it now,, I will add some salt to my food, thanks as always for my unknown answers, you seem to always have the answer. Have a Great and Healthy Summer. here in 2019.
@Onion Face Have not heard of Pink Salt, thanks for the suggestion, will try and find it, Have a Great Day!
Dr. Berg, can high LDL CHOLESTEROL cause COLD FEET and somewhat tingling in toes?? My LDL is from 140-165
thank you very much and I love your videos
Hello Doctor Berg I always have this cold feet and hands and arms for years now but I have hypertension is it possible that I lack iron even though I have hypertension? And also I am suffering from depression so I really donât know whatâs wrong with me now but my cold feet is so bad âŠ
Could cold hands and feet be caused by anxiety or vitamin b1 deficiency?
Can you do a video on nouropthy not caused by diabetic but by insulin resistance?
Dr. Eric Berg đ
Hi guyys, im an italian girl who s been on lithium for five years and stopped not long ago and gets cold feet now, wanted to know if that can be the cause of low sodium and therefore what should i do about it thank you so much in advance for your answers! â€
So what are some of the resolves for these causes? Mainly Adrenal hormone? I have had cold feet my whole life, by is 110/70 most of the time. Wondering if itâs cause #1 or 5. My thyroid test come back normal and Iâm m good on iron levels. No diabetes and have a good intake of sodium.
I don't have cold feet, however, could sweaty feet, _synthetic fabric socks,_ over time cause foot pain? Can magnesium Sulphate help reduce the problem with antiperspirants and anti-fungal powder?
Love this video .. Great Sir â„ïž
So glad you liked it!
Whatâs good for hyperthyroidism? đ€
My electric blanket and hot water bottle usually fix these up right away đ
What about no electricity or electric blanket
@@annamarkham-roberts4304 Maybe a warm blanket and socks đ§Šđ§Š
He didn't talk about upper air resistance syndrome (UARS) . I had a tongue tie and teeth pulled. My jaw is too narrow, so airways, sinuses are also.
What I've heard is that this affects sleeping. It makes someone sleep less well. So they are always low energy. It leads to Renauds, and ADHD type symptoms. My memory is terrible....
Can you make a video on blood sugar levels please. Love your channel!
Take a 30min walk after your meals whenever possible, this lowers glucose drastically. But Strength training increases the glucose reservoirs!
Eating Veggies and protein FIRST can attenuate glucose by 73% of time under the curve.
How about cold and (sweaty) feet?
My son recently mentioned his feet has been getting cold and sweaty since a very young kid and now heâs 21
I LOVE when Our wonderful and only one doctor trows a joke or its sarcastic. That made me laugh. Thank you now need to try to fix my freezing feet :)
You're a good man dr berg
He is a man, but he's not a doctor!
Low salt can cause irregular heartbeats as well. I use pink himalayan salt
Alex Naples Check info about renin-angiotensin system. Dr Berg has never talk about it, this system sustains the fact that salt is what regulates high blood pressure, it happen to me, as a young student, im only 21 years old, and i got a pressure of 200/180. And doctors medicate me, instead giving me salt
Same here
@What's the frequency Kenneth Yo! I try to explain my diet to the physician, the don't care, they make me spend 3000 of my local money, just to see that I'm healthy, glad I'm a medical student and I figure that I needed more salt Specially when I started intermittent fasting
In my coffee every morning.
@@notserenity - Same here. With the right amount of salt (sea salt) it makes the coffee a little bit sweet, at least for me.
Graciassssss đ
many times people feel they have low everything and all the symptoms.
Im low on cash
My feet are not cold but it's more like my shin,they always feel cold even in hot weather.would that be the same? Thank you so much Dr Bergđđđ
Dr. if cold feet is due to one of these 6 reasons then are they curable? I assume that last couple can be treated with proper diet but I doubt first couple of causes for cold feet. Dr. I have cold feet compared to others.
I have been having cold feet since I was a little girl. I am 50, I watch what I eat, I still have cold feet.
If your hands are cold too its probably because of stress.
You know you are getting healthier when Dr Bergs videos dont relate to you! đ
Thanks Dr

Thank you Dr. Berg. When i had sever panic attacks years ago, i experienced the cold feet, lightheadedness and rapid heart beats, then was told that i was also pumping a lot of adrenaline. The problem is, that even after dealing with the underlining issues, the anxiety/panic became habitual in a sense. When i would get in a tough situation, automatically my heart would race and i could feel the bloody adrenaline, however, i didnt have psychological fear, as before... it was all physiological, and i still have to deal with it from time to time. Magnesium helps me a lot, my diet improvements thanks to you has also helped. With that all said, this video put something else in perspective... i have some small red blood spots on parts of my skin which i later found out is called Cherry Angiomas. Thankfully, its nothing serious, and after much research, it was suggested that i needed to take iodine and selenium!! So i think i've just connected the dots and could probably solve two problems with one stone! I haven't started taking them, but after watching this video, i definitely should try them both!
What is the best method to get Iodine and Selenium into our system Doc?
Many thanks, from an old time subscriber!
Eggs and sardines
SilverS how are you doing now?
I have it similar. Try taking Brazil nuts itâs high in selenium. Get lugols iodine for iodine. And youâll be fine đ. God bless. Donât forget to focus the blood flow to your legs.
Getting panic attacks with exact same symptoms but without any tough situation, just like that
Can you please do a video on why my ovaries aren't working after a year, of having a mirena coil removed over a year ago.
Will sea salt help me?
Thank you very much.
You're most welcome!
I suffer from cold feet . Don't know what is causing it. what doctor should I go see ?
My cold feet I thought is from undiagnosed Hypoglycaemia from when I was young and had to survive not being on a proper diet for hypoglycaemia , thus messing up my circulation , I was only aware of having hypoglycaemia from age eighteen , how much damage has been done to my organs I don't know as result of surviving hypoglycaemia and cold feet - Thanks for the channel Dr Berg - đ đ
Can you please make a video on water filtration systems choice video since most now days make water alkaline is it good or not. Thank you
Can you do one about Raynaud syndrome?
B1 deficiency. Take Benfotiamine with magnesium. That's from his other video
I have 4 of these symptoms, so I am not able to figure out which of these causes my cold feet.
I thought it was the long harsh Canadian winters Dr. Berg! LOL
Taking Ginko Biloba regularly completely stops my cold hands and feet. They get like little radiators. No more problem.
Taking raw garlic gloves smashed to bits also will make them feel like radiators.
Would try it if I could, however for some reason, Ginko causes me shakiness, and nervousness,, tried it a couple years ago. Have a Great Day!

Does anyone have some sort of guideline as to what âlowâ is in regards to sodium? Mine is about 137 mmol/L - is that low?
Same for hands??
Can you do a video about a burning sensation in the feet? It seems weird to have neuropathy which is a loss of feeling and yet have a sometimes painful burning sensation.
My Dad is diabetic he always has burning feet.
One potential cause is Bartonella infection
I need your help. I been having cold feet for 4 years, and when winter season comes, it is terribly painful for me. my hands, my feet, and even my arms are so cold. I don't know what to do. my doctor is telling me everything is fine, all my blood work is normal but then why is this happening đ
Can Keto help with Reynaud's?
Is there any link between high fibre and cold feet.because your digestive system is working harder with the extra blood flow ?
Interesting.. since I can be having a hot flash and have cold feet, with a multi nodual toxic goiter/ hyperthyroid.. not hypo
Asked before.. what do you do if on blood thinners as it causes you to be cold. Alternative to blood thinners please?
And many ppl with cold feet also have cold hands/fingers (Raynaud's). Can you do a video on these questions? TY
Keto is the alternative to blood thinners!
The cause number 7 has many symptoms.
Besides cold feet there are tachycardia, emesis, dizziness.
You have a heart dysrhythmia-from your description. Which will cause the dizziness which can cause the nausea. This can be very serious. You need to see a doctor ASAP, preferably a cardiologist!

Do any of these cause twitching all over the body?
Will the person with Addison's crave salt then?
Ohh well,so if i take supplement of zinc and iron it will stop the cold feet..am i right?
My body gets cold in my sleep. I think itâs heart rate related. Sometimes below 50bpm
Candida also decrease body temperature
I have always cold đŠ¶ and đ and low blood pressure. My ears usually sounds âbingâ and all. I can't even concentrate properly. I eat very healthy and work out as well.
Any good tips to help me get ride of this?
The thought of marriage gives me shivers and cold, cold feet đ”

Hi Dr Berg, I have cold feet and stuff toes, I'm in warfrain could it be due to warfrain as well ?
I have the same problem. Please let me know youâre getting any better
Any chance of having this video in Portuguese......
Good morning u all
I have low blood pressure as well.
What about cold â???
I've had this problem since I was a child đ I'm 13 now and my hands and feet get cold...sometimes my feet hurt due to this
I put it down to blood pressure & maybe even narrow veins. So I wear compression socks & not the beige ones. I went on line & bought groovy coloured ones. They also help for tired aching feet not just cold feet. I live in a tropical climate so it's weird to have cold feet & be sweating at the same time. I don't have what this guy is talking about.
Doctor Borg I am Missa from Algeria I have read that boiled parsley helps to lose weight. Is this true? Can you tell me? In intermittent fasting
Sir what of hot feet n numb feet plz
I eat one meal a day ..and its just after the meal that I get cold feet ..I use a lot of pink salt , iodine , trace minerals , but will up it during the day with my water to see if it helps ..
That's because right after you eat, the majority of your blood is being used for digestion so not as much is going to your feet!
My feet are cold and everything else is hot got any advise for that there painfully cold even if I put them in hot water 5 mins after there freezing again its been a misery for the last 10 years
I was watching one of your 2015 video ...you lost weight Dr Berg..!!!
1. Low adrenal hormones -> low sodium, low blood pressure
2. Hypothyroidism : low iodine, low selenium
3. Diabetic
4. Low sodium
5. Low Zinc
6. Low Iron
Only my right foot at the ankle and the back near the ankle feels cold , Why ?
What about burning feet?
*What about cold hands?*
There are many other conditions which can cause cold feet, including peripheral artery disease.
Is it common to get cold feet (and fingers) when you fast? My fingers get so cold they go prune like.
That may be common I wouldn't know, but certainly doesn't sound natural. Maybe fasting isn't for you if that's what happens.
My feet always remains cold even at time of summer. Plze help
Hope this video helps!

My cold feet trigger restless leg syndrome. Iâm going to try kelp capsules
My 21 year old son has this - our integrative doctor checked all this and everything is normal. So the only possibility at this time is a circulation problem so he instructed him to take L-Arginine to improve his circulation. It seems to be helping after taking it now for 1 week so far.
There could be something functional affecting it like breathing or posture.
For breathing diaphragmatic rib cage breathing and long breaths out are great.
For posture the gokhale method is great.
Dercum's Disease can cause the first two.
I thought you were going to say holey socks. 𧊠Lol. I used to always get this, before banning Sugar & going Keto last year, all gone now. đ€ Thanks for sharing this important information, & take care to. â€đđ¶
