Ha. feeling cold was an event going back many decades for me.
Now do keep in mind I'm not a doctor, a chemist or nor a pharmacist.
I don't pretend to be anyone other, then one, that also looks for answers, to life's rough spots.
My notes saved over the years (ah computers) are still a goldmine for me.
Mind you it is still all experimental for me. What seems to work and help, I expand slowly upon.
Of course we are all unique souls. Of course what works for me may not work for you.
Yup, that is why even doctors change prescriptions, when undesired effects take place.
That is why I say' it is still all experimental', even for many in the medical field.

From my saved notes:
-----------------------------
It Could be Your Gender
Women are more likely to feel a wee bit colder than men. It is because of the
presence of high levels of the hormone estrogen in them and also because they
have more fatty deposits and lesser muscular tissues in their bodies, as compared to men.
-----------------------------
Diet Could be the Culprit?
The diet of a person has a lot to do with the way he feels. So, if you are
taking an unhealthy diet, i.e. you eat junk food most of the time or your diet
lacks in the required nutrients and vitamins, or worse, you starve yourself and
have lost tremendous amount of weight recently, it could make you weak, cold and
tired. A poor diet, accompanied by rapid weight loss, is the perfect recipe for
an abnormal body temperature.
---------------------------------
Hormonal Imbalance could be the Culprit?
When a woman enters menopause or is pregnant, lots of hormonal imbalances take
place inside her body. When the estrogen levels rise in a woman, they can
produce lots of symptoms in her including constantly feeling cold. So the change
in the levels of estrogen hormone is the prime culprit behind this feeling.
----------------------------------
Do You Maintain A Healthy Weight?
When a person eats food, the body, in order to help in digestion, sends blood
towards the stomach. This leaves the other parts of the body with lesser amount
of blood, thus making the body cold. In addition to this, if a person is
underweight, he is bound to feel these changes in the temperature of the body
even more severely than others.
-------------------------------------
Is Your Blood Pressure Normal?
People suffering from both these conditions i.e. high and low blood pressure,
often find their feet and hands cold. If a person has low blood pressure, his
blood flows very easily and thus, only a small amount is able to reach his hands
and feet. On the other hand, in case of high blood pressure, the blood flows
with a lot of difficulty and again, only a small amount reaches the extremities.
Thus, both these conditions make a person feel colder than others.
------------------------------------
Check Your Medication!
If a person is taking some drugs or medicines, then they can produce side
effects such as chills in that person, especially if the medicine is not suiting
the person.
----------------------------------
Any Thyroid Problems?
If the feeling of coldness is accompanied by rapid weight gain, which even
exercise and proper diet can not control, then probably the person is suffering
from a thyroid problem. Thyroid problems slow down the metabolism process and
thus, lower the body temperature in a person.
----------------------------
Weakened Immunity
Feeling cold can be experienced in two ways, i.e. either the entire body is cold
or only the hand and the feet are cold. If you are experiencing the latter, the
reason could be a weak immune system. A weak immune system could be due to the
presence of parasites in the body, which make infections such as Candida, to
affect the body easily, thus, weakening the immune system even more in the
process.
---------------------------
Raynaud's Phenomenon
People with this condition tend to have very cold hands and feet. When a normal
person is subjected to an extremely cool temperature, the blood in his body
moves towards the internal organs to keep them warm. However, in people with
Raynaud's phenomenon, this same response takes place in an extreme. The blood
flow to the skin is reduced to a very large extent, making the person feel cold.
-----------------------------------
For people who are constantly feeling cold, the first thing to do is to start
taking a healthy, balanced diet. A diet which has the right amount of proteins,
vitamins, fats and minerals. A balanced diet ensures that the body weight is
appropriate and thus, it will help in maintaining the right body temperature.
----------------------------------
Skipping meals is something that should be completely avoided. It is a
well-known fact that if a person is on fast or has skipped a meal, the body
would not have enough energy and thus, would produce very less heat.
----------------------------------
Exercise, especially cardiovascular training, benefits the capillaries and
improves circulation in general.
------------------------------------
Feeling cold can be both normal as well as abnormal.
However, chills caused due to a thyroid problem or any other medical
condition, should be referred to a doctor, without fail.
---------------------------------------------
Low thyroid will cause cold hands and feet.
A simple blood test will reveal your thyroid function.
A thyroid supplement may solve the problem.
---------------------------------------------------
Many people have low thyroid hormone levels, which leads to a sluggish metabolism.
Common symptoms are sleepiness, sluggishness, cold hands and feet, and hair loss.
