• Not eating nutrient-dense foods
• Eating foods grown in depleted soils or grown in water (hydroponics)
• Genetic weaknesses
• Low stomach acids
• No gallbladder/gallbladder issues

The following symptoms are 16 signs your body needs more nutrients.

1. Brittle nails–protein deficiency
2. Blue sclera–iron deficiency
3. Pain in right scapula–bile deficiency
4. Tetany (twitching)–magnesium deficiency
5. Flaky, scaly skin–omega-3 deficiency
6. High blood pressure–potassium deficiency
7. Excessive worrying–vitamin B1 deficiency
