Episode 18: What can your Eyes, Tongue, Hair, Skin and Nails tell you about your Metabolism?

The appearance of your eyes, tongue, hair, skin and nails can
tell you a lot about your general health and give you clues about
your metabolism and your ability to lose weight. In this podcast
I will discuss what normal looks like and I will give some examples
of why your tissues might not look normal. Some of the reasons may
surprise you!

Eyes
– if whites are yellow
– if whites are blue
– if whites are red
– pale inside eyelids
– dark circles especially under the eyes

Tongue
– white coating on top
– split down the middle, “scallops” on the sides or red bumps on top

Hair
– dry, frizzy
– thinning
– hair suddenly becomes soft

Skin
– dry elbows/ knees
-“chicken bumps” on backs of arms
– rash (eczema) on back of hands
– rash on palms
– dark brown spots

Nails
– ridges
– white spots
– slow “refill” time, but turn pink
– blue nail beds
