BRITTLE NAILS OR RIDGED NAILS
20th Apr 2024
Most likely cause is High Estrogen
Explanation:

Back in the day, when you went to the doctor for an ailment of some kind, whether it be a cold, sore throat, achy joints etc., they would ask to see your tongue and look at your fingernails. The reason for that is your tongue and your nails speak volumes of the state of your health. Doctors back then understood the human body and the external correlation to health. Today? I doubt any of you have had a conventional doctor ask you to stick out your tongue and analyze the cracks, color etc., and examine your fingernail beds.
I will
do a Two-Part article explaining some signs and tips on what to look for.
Part 1 – Fingernail Beds
This symptom could be related to a thyroid imbalance since nails are made from collagen. Thyroid issues may occur from either a gallbladder problem (lack of bile) or high estrogen levels. The liver/gallbladder helps convert T4 to T3 (the active form of thyroid hormone). High estrogen also inhibits thyroid function.

Trace minerals can also be deficient in the diet and contribute to brittle nails or ridged nails. Trace minerals help protein (collagen) form in the body. This can also affect the hair and skin. Plant-based trace minerals are the best nutrients to improve our nails, as compared to just taking protein or collagen supplements.

Diet:
If the
thyroid is involved, then it must be determined whether the issue is
gallbladder-related (usually the symptoms are bloating and constipation) or if
it's high estrogen that is causing the nail issues (symptoms are having heavy
periods, fibroids or weight gain in hips).
Also, add sea kelp since iodine supports the thyroid and sea kelp contains
selenium, another important trace mineral for the thyroid.
If there are no thyroid issues, then take trace minerals.
Biotin can also strengthen nails and hair. Biotin deficiencies can come from
certain diets as well as microbial imbalances in your intestines.
