Numb extremities, always needing a jacket, wearing extra layers but not feeling any warmer... If these symptoms sound familiar, then this episode is here to help you. Today we are talking all about cold intolerance! Cold intolerance is when you're extremely sensitive to cold temperatures, and it's more severe than just a general chilliness on a cold day. Listen in for a breakdown of what cold intolerance actually is, how our bodies even process hot and cold, and what underlying conditions cold intolerance could be a symptom of. We touch on each of these possible maladies and talk through the tests and treatments for each, as well as a brief exploration of the under-explored area of autoimmunity. Lastly, I talk you through a case study using my unique methodology, and how we not only treated the patient successfully – she also achieved personal body goals that she had been really struggling to achieve! Cold intolerance is a very interesting topic for me because I've had it my whole life, and I'm so glad I get to share this knowledge and support with you. I hope you join me today!
