Why am I always cold?

Not a diagnosis: a head start. These are the three drivers most worth checking first, based on what the evidence says gets missed most often.

01

Thyroid first

Cold intolerance is one of its most specific signals.

02

Iron and circulation

Low iron means less oxygen delivery; hands and feet pay first.

03

Raynaud’s pattern

Fingers turning white then blue then red is its own named, manageable thing.

Worth asking your GP about
