Yeah.

That's called a splinting deficiency or it's a digestive deficiency.

That means your digestive system's weak.

So we got to really warm it up and help do some things to strengthen digestive system.

The other thing would be if somebody's tongue is pale, that is a type of anemia.

We call it a blood deficiency.

So we need to do a lot more red meat and beets and steamed greens and blood building foods.

Coating on your tongue, now we call that candida.

We'll call it dampness as well.

So your tongue will tell me the exact herbs you need to, it'll tell me a lot.

So the only thing that you have is a little coating that's almost an orange-yellow color on the back of your tongue, but it's very subtle.

That just shows me that really the only thing I'm seeing is you've got a little bit of heat in your large intestine.

It means that there's a little bit of inflammation in your large intestine.

It's mild, but you want to do things like spearmint tea, something like that.

That'll start cooling it.

And just do some more – in fact, you actually are the opposite of some people.

You would probably do well with like a coconut yogurt or a goat's milk yogurt or something like that.

You probably want to stay away from things that are – like some things that are very spicy might bother your system possibly or make that slightly worse.

But really, again, you have one of the healthier – almost every time when I – if I ever bring that up or somehow it comes up, most people have major –

Deficiencies and problems.
