Itchiness is a word used to describe an irritating sensation on your skin that you can’t help but scratch, but once you do, the need to scratch becomes more fierce. It’s a vicious cycle that many people who suffer from itchy skin will know well. Not only does it affect how you feel during waking hours, but it can also massively impact your sleep, leading to low mood, fatigue and bad habits.

There are many causes of itchy skin, including allergies and food sensitivities, hormone imbalance, and cosmetics. But have you ever considered that a nutrient deficiency might cause your tingling skin? In this episode, I will explain some of the critical nutrient deficiencies linked to itchy skin, also known as pruritus.

Highlight's from today's episode include:

• My own journey with itchy skin and autoimmune skin conditions, including psoriasis, adult acne and hives from histamine imbalances. 
• How vitamin D deficiency can be due to your vitamin D genetics. 
• How essential fatty acid imbalance can cause itchy skin and Keratosis pilaris.
• Why iron deficiency can cause itchy skin. 
• The roles of other vitamins, such as vitamin B12 and vitamin A, in itchy skin.
