One is having a weak “Yang Qi” that is not able to create enough heat to reach the farthest part of the body. The other one is having a poor circulation of blood and “Qi” and causes a stagnation of “Yang Qi.” As a result, energy (heat) cannot pass through to the limbs. It's hard to say which condition you are having. So, consult a certified TCM Practitioner. Once you are diagnosed, then you may use food and acupoint massage to improve your condition. Herbal medicine administered by TCM Practitioner helps, but this is a long-haul thing. Lifestyle is important. As what the article said, generally there are two factors that contribute to cold limbs.

I live in Florida and only recently I am experiencing cold feet. Placing them on a heating pad does not warm them up. I will put them in hot water at bedtime. My hands are warm and I have good respiration and normal blood pressure. I have good pulses in my ankle I was told by a PA recently. I consulted with a Chinese doctor several years ago and altho I did not have cold feet then, I recall reading something about the reason for cold feet but cannot find that article. Because I have this very tight feeling in both feet and extending a few inches above my ankles, I thought I had PAD but just read about those symptoms which I do not have. So, what do you think is cause of my cold feet? I am almost 79 years old, female. I live in Florida and only recently I am experiencing cold feet. Placing them on a heating pad does not warm them up.
