The REAL Causes of VERTICAL RIDGES On Your Nails

[@illegallyblonde232]

Most of my nails had those lines until I started fasting and working out. Cleaned right up. Lost over 100 lbs too. Stay active

I took Omeprazole for years for GERD and my doctor increased my daily dose from 20mg to 40mg and my anemia got worse. I went to a new doctor after 3+ years feeling anemic to help me figure out what was wrong with me. My new blood test showed my blood had plenty of iron, but I wasn’t absorbing iron. I stop taking Omeprazole and started taking a multivitamin plus iron supplement a couples months ago and I felt much better slowly. I only take an iron supplement every few days now and a multivitamin every day. Omeprazole after long term use can prevent your body’s absorption of iron.

[@IbrahimKhan-w6m4t]

Same problem with me I visited different doctors but no improvement

[@goldwingerppg5953]

@@IbrahimKhan-w6m4t I went to several doctors including gastroenterologist over several years and had a endoscopy to no avail. Fortunately, my last and only doctor tested for iron blood absorption, not just iron blood levels. The blood levels alway came back normal, but the iron absorption was extremely low, which unfortunately took many doctors and tests to finally figure out the cause of my anemia. Unfortunately, it’s a balancing act between not taking Famotidine and Gaviscon until my acid reflux gets really bad, but it’s better than feeling anemic all the time. Famotidine doesn’t work as well as omeprazole, but my anemia isn’t as bad when I use it. Gaviscon doesn’t work as well as pill antacids, but it’s better than nothing. Plus, I eat a lot of saltines and oyster crackers.

Over the past 3 years I have also experienced high stress levels. Your video makes sense. The gut problems and high stress seem the likely cause.

If you are drinking any Diet Sodas that contain Aspartame or Splenda / Sucralose. please stop. Both chemicals attack the entire digestive system and the brain. Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi as well as any food or drink containing Aspartame or Splenda / Sucralose will cause stomach and intestine issues as well as rain issues like depression, anxiety and even later blood clots. It can take two months for the digestive system to repair itself after getting these two chemicals completely out of your system. And they need to be completely gone before healing will begin. Both are that addictive and toxic at the same time.

I have lines on my nails and don't recall if they were ever smooth. The seem to be a permanent signature defect. A nail grows for a really long time during which the amount of minerals and B-vitamins change, but the lines do not. One time I had a prolonged fast and noticed a horizontal bump of my toenail. This is how any varability would register, not as vertical lines.

[@annanderson1470]

Oh Ryan!! Ever so thankful for your channel and this particular one. This comment may be long but it's a true testimony of the truth of what you have just spoken!! I'm 57 and my nails have been this way since my mid-twenties. And they were spoon like as well. Having asked many, and I am disabled, so when I say many, I assure you it's many. And I was brushed off , or told it's nothing to worry about. 5 years ago I started getting my nails done because I simply could not stand to look at my nails. After 3 years of that and lack of money I had to stop. Ok let's get to the important stuff. I have suffered with Celiac Disease, fibromyalgia, migraines, and CRPS. Which is a severe nerve, muscle and pain syndrome that was a result from surgeries on my elbows and hands. May I add from 25-about 2 mths.ago extreme STRESS!! Ryan is 100% right about gut health and eating animal products!! After years of severe diarrhea,gas, bloating I went gluten free which helped a great deal but still the pain and gut issues remained. I started eating a carnivore diet for one. Secondly, I just want out and bought B-12 which is sublingual. It dissolves under your tongue. Third, I am adding the apple cider vinegar to my diet. Since going carnivore over 2 months and 3 weeks ( animal products, no sugar, no carbs) would you like to know the results? CD reversed, no diarrhea, bloating, no migraines, the inflammation is reduced and my nails are beginning to change. God gets all the Glory for this!! As far as the Stress in my life.. well that meant that my daughter whom I still love and my 2 granddaughters, the oldest, 7 who spent every weekend with me since she was 3 except for a few here and there and went to church with me. And the little soon to be 3 is joy and sunshine, and there's one on the way.. Had to be removed from my life. Don't feel sad. It was the hand of God. All and I mean all stress has been removed from my life. It has to be no contact. As for you Ryan, your information is so on point and I pray that those listening will " hear" what you say and apply it to their lives. Oh I just had my blood work reviewed yesterday with my Dr. It was all well. And I lost 34 lbs. and I started the carnivore lifestyle ( I don't call it a diet) on Feb.6 right after severe pain after an endoscopy. Sorry for being so long. You can get your health back!! Peace and Blessings!🙏💖

My nails started getting vertical ridges about 2 years ago and because i've got emphysema i thought my lungs were packing in, i got so weak i could only walk a few feet and i'd be out of breath. Luckily, i had a random appointment with a nurse, she took 1 look at me from walking from the waiting room to her office , about 8ft away and i couldn't talk i was that out of breath. My skin was grey, and my ankles started swelling up about a week before, so she got a GP to see me there and then. I was ready to die and wanted it over with, but they wrote a letter for A&E to see me ASAP as my GP said it was most likely anaemia. He was bang on the money, my hemoglobin was the lowest any A&E DR had seen in anyone, it was 31 or 3.1 depending on which scale you use where it should be 170-180 or 17.0-18.0. The DR who saw me said i was lucky to be alive as the swelling of my ankles was down to heart failure. so they rushed me in to resus and asked me if i wanted a mid-line or a pic line, i was scared and panicking as a pic line runs up your arm into the main vein in your chest, and a mid-line is shorter, so i went for that. BIG MISTAKE as a mid-line is very hard to get blood from and used for putting drugs and blood into your body and they needed to take blood every hour or 2. but they managed on a few occasions and when they couldn't they used my artery in my wrist as my veins are very small from blood work i've had in the past which cause them to collapse. Anyway i was in hospital for 7 days had 4 bags of blood and 1 iron infusion. After the first few bags i felt much better and when i left i felt 20 again. If it wasn't for a random appointment, i would be dead. If anyone reading this has those symptoms got to your GP or A&E as it could save your life.

But am still having issues just not as bad .. i kept saying and still say that it seems like my body is not absorbing the nitrients it needs... This video seems to confirm that suspicion 😵‍💫

Dr Taylor. I have Fibromyalgia. Its can be extremely hard to function a good bit of the time. Could the nail problem fit into this catagoey? I have deep ridges n the spokn like effect. They are very thin in peel n break easily. Your help will be greatly appreciated. Thank u n God bless u n urs. Marguerite from the Mississippi Gulf Coast

Also notice if you are becoming allergic to something you eat. After 60 years, I realized that eggs were a problem and after 8 months my previously weak nails are straight and strong.

This video was so helpful, thank you

[@RyanTaylorNaturalRemedies]

You are most welcome.

I havn't got ridges or deep vertical lines on my nail, but it was still a really good video.

[@michelenichele294]

Thank you so much, Ryan. 🙏👏🏻🌹

Thank you sir grate speech and video very good information thanks again

My thumb was crushed by a 1500 ton cold header in Rose City, Michigan back in 1973. When it grew back, my nail had the ridges and ever since. Getting hurt is so easy when you expect others to do their job.

Great video! But, chlorela does not have b12. There is no plant source for B12

[@RyanTaylorNaturalRemedies]

Chlorella is not technically a plant, it is an algae and it forms it's own B12.

[@elainebeckford99]

Hello Ryan, Do you have scientific references for the malabsorption of iron and Vit B12? I was told the ridges were a natural part of aging despite having them since my 30s.

[@peterflitcroft9756]

I have pronounced ridges on my nails. I also have known B12 deficiency due to absorption problems in the small intestine.

Dommage quill n'y ai pas de traduction en français. Cela paraît intéressant

“Talk to your DR” is funny, I agree. A lesson in futility at best 😂

[@mildredstroud1881]

😂my doctor said that I only needed a man in my life!!!!!😮

[@ursulabond2883]

Excellent information, so helpful. Thank you so much.

[@cfalletta7220]

I’ve always had very prominent ridges on my fingers and extreme ridges on my toenails ever sense I was a kid

[@julieauxier4814]

Most of these reasons plus had appendicitis back at the end of the year. Leading up to surgery nails flaked and split. 4 months later and nail tech resurfaced nails no more problems

[@JavedKhan-qp2pl]

Nice healthy i formation. Thabk you.

[@jeromebauer3057]

Last year I had deep ridges in my finger nails and I wandered why. Later in the year I developed out of breath by doing small tasks. I eventually couldn’t sleep laying down because I couldn’t breathe. I eventually was restricted to sitting in an upright chair in order to breathe and my relatives said I looked gray. I was bullheaded, but finally went to the ER and found out that my hemoglobin level was down to 6.7 . After finding out that it was caused from loosing all that blood caused from my hemorrhoids. After getting blood transfusions and having hemorrhoid surgery and taking iron pills my hemoglobin level finally came up to 14.9 I felt fine and my fingernails are now back to normal. Your hemoglobin levels are what provides your body with oxygen and of course my iron levels were low. This is a good example of what causes grooves in your fingernails.

This is an interesting channel. Thanks!

I don't think the nerve endings have anything to do with this. Rather it is the capillaries that react to food intake. The nails require continuous flow of moisture for growth. Nail biting is a reaction to the itching of the nails drying out and happens shortly after consuming bad fat. To convince yourself, try a meal with extra butter added to the food. The nails will start to dry out within hours.

[@daniep3100]

Butter is bad fat? My mom believed that and ended up with terrible dementia. The nerve fibers are supposed to be covered with a protective layer including saturated fat. The brain uses it too. I eat lots of butter and coconut oil, am in my late 40's, have 'high' cholesterol and just had my arteries checked. They are clear and good cholesterol is high. While there are several factors at play, I am concerned about the teaching to avoid saturated fat. It is an important piece of the puzzle, maybe especially when we are exposed to many nerve destroying chemicals. Recently it is being shared that Vitamin K can balance the bodies' calcium so it does not end up mixing with fats and lining the arteries.

[@madeleine7]

Thank you! Very interesting!

[@seviregis7441]

It’s a vitamin deficiency generally. Excellent video, covers all the bases.

[@Coffee_Haze]

Also, if you have damaged your finger close to the nail base, scar tissue can cause ridges and splits. Found that out the hard way over the years. Not much fixing that kind of nail.

[@niki123489]

What is the cause for lighter color in the shape of ark at the bottom of the nail? Is it a symptom of a certain defficiancy?

[@sirrathersplendid4825]

That’s entirely normal. Everyone should have that. I imagine that’s the ‘living’ part of the nail, where it grows from.
