Episode 189: Zinc Deficiency

January 11, 2022 By Audrey Christie

Zinc Deficiency

Zinc Deficiency

Zinc deficiency affects a tracked 2 billion people. Zinc is one of the most important minerals in the body - it's essential for overall health and needed for activity in over 100 different enzymes. Zinc is necessary for healthy brain function, gut health, the suppression of excess inflammation, proper mood function, hormone production, protein synthesis, DNA metabolism, energy, stress response, growth and development, and taste acuity.

In this episode you will learn about:

  • what causes Zinc deficiency
  • how to test for it at home
  • what to do if you are deficient in zinc or suspect you are

Here are the options for Zinc Deficiency Test:

Option 1: You don't notice any significant taste. Tastes like water for 30 seconds.
Interpretation: You have a strong deficiency and need to supplement

Option 2: You don't notice anything immediately, but after a few seconds, you notice a subtle taste. It might taste dry, furry, sweet, or like minerals.
Interpretation: Suggests a moderate zinc deficiency, need to supplement

Option 3: There is a definite taste immediately, grows stronger over 30 seconds. It's not super unpleasant but it is there.
Interpretation: You have a mild deficiency, and should probably supplement.

Option 4: You notice a very strong, undesirable taste right away.
Interpretation: You likely are not deficient. No supplementation needed

Tune in to learn how to learn about zinc deficiency.

Boring Discalimers

Starting in December of 2007 the FTC requires people like me that are producing content online to disclose any hidden interests. To ensure that my information doesn’t get jumbled up with nonsense, I don’t disclose each and every link and line. So, in that regard, for everything I mention, assume that I received gifts in the form of money, kittens, puppies, and unicorns. Lots of unicorns.

Also, I am not your doctor and I don’t play one on the internet. The information provided here is for educational purposes only and should always be run through your own intuitive filter and research (just like any advice any practitioner or doctor or neighbor gives you.) Ultimately you are responsible for your own wellness. And by hanging out with me on my website, social channels, and podcast you agree to that. xoxo
