Summary
In this episode, Dr. Jockers breaks down the common and often overlooked signs of vitamin B12 deficiency, including fatigue, brain fog, nerve pain, premature graying, and sulfite sensitivity. You'll learn why B12 is so important for your nervous system, red blood cells, detoxification, and neurotransmitter production. You'll discover why a B12 result that falls within the standard lab range may not tell the whole story. Dr. Jockers explains additional markers he considers, including homocysteine and red blood cell measurements, and what they can reveal about B12 status. You'll also learn what can contribute to low B12, including diet, chronic stress, certain medications, and poor stomach acid production. Plus, Dr. Jockers shares the food sources and forms of supplementation he recommends for supporting healthy B12 levels.
