Podcasts about folic acid

In Part 1 of this two-part interview, Dr Liz Evans sits down with diagnostic pathologist and HART co-chair Dr Clare Craig to shine a light onto the little-known, but potentially serious, risks to health from the UK's recent mandate requiring the fortification of white flour with the synthetic drug folic acid. A move that violates informed consent and restricts consumer choice.Dr Craig explains the background to the decision to mass-medicate the public, and breaks down the flawed rationale behind the new UK law, passed in November 2024, requiring non-wholemeal wheat flour to be fortified with synthetic folic acid. The amendment passed to the Bread and Flour Regulations (covering England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland), places a legal requirement on millers and flour producers to add folic acid to non-wholemeal wheat flour, which comes into full effect at the end of 2026.A few exceptions to fortification are allowed (for now) including; wholewheat flour, flour produced by small mills (in the UK or any other country), and flour produced to make communion wafers, matzos, gluten or starch.While natural folate is a fundamental, bioavailable nutrient found in whole foods, synthetic folic acid behaves entirely differently in the human body. Dr Craig explains how this synthetic product floods the bloodstream, blocks key brain receptors, and relies on safety data derived from animal studies that do not translate to human biology.Key Takeaways from Part 1:The “Survivorship” Data Flaw: Early safety data from a prominent Hungarian trial revealed a startling truth—nine babies died for every single neural tube defect (NTD) prevented.Statistical Illusions: Observational population data from the US CDC, claiming that increasing folic acid intake reduces NTDs, overlooked the huge concurrent rise in advanced ultrasound diagnostics and targeted terminations for babies with NTDs during the 1990s.Industrial Influence & Toxic Dosing: The pharmaceutical industry pushed for recommended daily allowances of folic acid to be artificially doubled, creating a environment where standard diets, combined with supplementation and fortification of foods, can expose citizens to massive, unmonitored doses of this synthetic drug.Fortification of Flour Violates Informed Consent: Adding a synthetic drug to a staple food is unethical as it is the mass-medication of the public without individual consent. It is a one-size-fits all approach which does not take into account the different genetic or nutritional variations in processing folic acid, or control of the dose, leaving some people more at risk of serious side-effects and toxicity. The individual dose of folic acid will vary widely, depending on the amount of fortified flour in the diet.Widespread Health Vulnerabilities: Fortifying staple foods poses serious risks to around 40% of the population who carry the MTHFR gene mutation, and who cannot metabolise folic acid efficiently. The build up of unmetabolized folic acid can also mask vitamin B12 deficiencies (which produces symptoms mimicking dementia) and has been show in studies to increase the risk of developing colorectal polyps and prostate cancer, as well as causing side-effects such as headaches, anxiety, sleep and digestive issues.Practical Advice: Learn how you can avoid unwanted medication by reading food labels carefully and sourcing unfortified flour from small independent mills.Calls to Action: It is important to raise awareness and lobby for a repeal to this law, by writing to your MP to raise the issues discussed in this podcast.Please sign this Parliamentary petition (ends on 26 June 2026) calling on the Government “to amend the law to ensure there are at least one non-wholemeal flour option without folic acid fortification, and to exempt organic flour from mandatory folic acid fortification requirement from December 2026.”UKMFA: CALL TO ACTION: Please follow us and subscribe on our YouTube and Rumble channels and please share our content on social media and with friends and family, to help us get the message out and increase our reach.All our podcasts can also be found on the major audio platforms e.g. Apple and Spotify.Our Substack is found here: https://substack.com/@ukmfa1We are grateful for all donations to help us to continue and grow our work; lobbying decision makers; educating and empowering the public; running campaigns and producing our podcasts.

Welcome to How Humans Heal. In this episode, I'm going to help you understand the critical difference between folic acid and methylfolate, and whether you should be taking either one if you're testing positive for high-risk HPV virus and potentially abnormal cells. Folic acid and methylfolate are both forms of vitamin B9. Folic acid is the synthetic form of vitamin B9, while methylfolate is the active form. Foic acid is commonly used in processed foods and many lower-quality supplements like multivitamins, prenatal vitamins, and B-complexes. Once you swallow folic acid, your body has to convert it into methylfolate, which is the form your cells can actually use. However, at least forty percent of us have at least one gene variation called MTHFR, which affects our ability to convert folic acid into folate. If you're one of those people with one or more MTHFR variations, you might not be able to convert folic acid as effectively. This means you won't get all the benefits from it. I've been in practice for over twenty-six years, and I specialize in HPV, abnormal pap smears, women's health, MTHFR, gene variations, and methylation issues. These are my specialties, and this is why I'm so passionate about helping people understand this topic. I'm here to help you!

In 1998, the FDA required folic acid be added to breads and pastas but not corn masa, a staple in Latino communities. Folic acid is known to prevent neural tube birth defects.  So, states like California and Alabama are now passing their own mandates. *** Thank you for listening.

California is the first state in the country to require folic acid in corn masa flour—the key ingredient in foods like tortillas. The move could help prevent serious birth defects, which occur at higher rates among Latino families. Alabama is set to follow this summer, and other states are considering similar laws.

You've been told that supplements just make “expensive urine,” and if you're taking the wrong forms, that criticism is completely valid. In this episode, I'm breaking down the science of bioavailability and exposing why the supplement industry has been prioritizing cost and shelf stability over what actually works in your body. From creatine HCl vs. monohydrate to methylfolate vs. folic acid, the form of a nutrient determines whether it does anything at all.

Send us a textAre you familiar with Vitamin B12 Deficiency Symptoms in IBD? Those with Crohn's & Ulcerative colitis are at higher risk of being deficient in Vitamin B12 - especially those with Crohn's that have inflammation in the ileum. If you've got Vitamin B12 deficiency you may feel tired or weak which is a classic feature of type of megaloblastic anemia. This is why it's so important to test appropriately and treat B12 deficiencies.In our practice, we like to look at beyond just standard serum B12 labs - which can sometimes not be representative of B12 status. In this video we go over more on this. Vitamin B12 Deficiency Symptoms:-Tiredness or weakness-Pale skin-Heart palpitations-Loss of appetite-Weight loss-Infertility-Numb or tingly hands and feet, a sign of nerve problems-Problems with balance-Depression-Confusion-Dementia-Poor memory-Soreness of the mouth or tongueVitamin B12 plays an important role in energy production and mood regulation. Sometimes people with IBD utilize more nutrients when there is inflammation and can also have a decrease in absorption of  beneficial nutrients, like B12. We cover the signs of B12 deficiency and when to test for it.  

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared is joined by his wife Jen to explore how folic acid, a synthetic B vitamin, is affecting our health - and the role of genetics in it all. What began as a simple dietary change unexpectedly revealed how folic acid in fortified foods, different forms of B vitamins, and individual genetics can significantly influence mood, energy, and mental clarity. Jared and Jen share their personal experience removing folic acid, adjusting B12 forms, and learning why some people thrive on methylated B vitamins while others feel worse. You'll learn the key differences between folic acid and folate, why more supplementation isn't always better, how B12 forms like methylcobalamin, hydroxocobalamin, and adenosylcobalamin behave differently in the body, and why B6, B12, and folate must work together as a team. This episode provides a practical framework for understanding why “doing everything right” doesn't always lead to optimal results—and how thoughtful experimentation, label reading, and food quality make a meaningful difference.B Vitamin Products DiscussedAdditional Information:Episode #601 Blog Post#505: Emotional Vitality: Jen's Story Part 5 - The Impact of Diet on Mental Health and Physical PainCheck out all five“Jen's Story” Episodes!Visit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

Are you confused about prenatal vitamins? Wondering whether folic acid or folate is best? And what about those MTHFR conversations on the internet? Should you be worried?  In this episode of Brave & Curious, Dr. Lora Shahine is asking the questions so many people have but rarely get clear answers to. Her guest is fertility expert Dr. Prati Sharma who is here to address the fear, the science, and the nuance behind one of the most debated supplements in pregnancy health. Folate and folic acid may sound interchangeable, but as Dr. Shahine and Dr. Sharma explain, the topic gets complicated fast — especially once genetics, supplements, and internet opinions enter the chat.  Together they explain the definitions, evidence-based guidelines, genetic polymorphisms like MTHFR, and how the supplement market (and sometimes fear-based messaging) can mislead patients.  Listeners will hear balanced, thoughtful insight rooted in reproductive endocrinology, science-backed recommendations, and compassionate care, not panic or overwhelm. And most importantly, you'll leave feeling calmer, more empowered, and equipped with the right questions instead of fear. In this episode you'll hear: [1:25] Why is folate vs. folic acid such a heated topic? [3:37] What is folate? [4:067 What is folic acid?

Are your vitamins actually working? Discover five critical red flags that could mean your multivitamin quality is low, poorly absorbed, or causing more harm than good. From synthetic ingredients to dangerous fillers, learn how to choose supplements that truly support your health—not drain your wallet. This episode reveals what to look for on labels and why bioavailability matters more than you think. 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Bioavailability Matters Most – Not all vitamin forms are created equal. Cyanocobalamin (cheap B12) can trigger inflammation and anxiety, while methylcobalamin is properly absorbed and utilized by your body. Always check for methylated forms of B vitamins and quality mineral chelates. Artificial Dyes Are Dangerous – Red Dye 40 and other fillers serve no nutritional purpose and are linked to inflammation, digestive imbalances, ADHD symptoms, and potential colon cancer risk. Up to 83% of supplements on Amazon contain unexpected ingredients or lack what's promised on the label. Under-Dosing Is Widespread – Most store-brand multivitamins contain trace amounts that provide no therapeutic benefit. For example, 800 IU of vitamin D won't raise deficient levels—you need at least 5,000 IU daily with K2 for optimal absorption and immune function. Folic Acid vs. Methylfolate Is Critical – If you have MTHFR gene mutations (extremely common), synthetic folic acid can cause depression, fatigue, and digestive issues. Your body needs methylfolate—the active form that actually works, especially important for pregnant women and those with chronic health conditions. Amino Acids Are Non-Negotiable – A true multivitamin should include amino acids like choline, arginine, methionine, lysine, taurine, and N-acetylcysteine. These are the building blocks of DNA and protein that support detoxification, energy production, and overall cellular function.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Nathan Jones, CEO of Xlear, Inc.

Nathan Jones, CEO of Xlear, Inc., details the benefits of xylitol in dental and respiratory health products such as nasal sprays and chewing gums under the Spry brand. Nathan advocates for the FDA to allow anti-cavity claims for xylitol and other compounds despite the current monopoly of fluoride in such claims. They question the efficacy and potential downsides of fluoride, and explore alternative dental health interventions. The episode also covers xylitol's role in preventing tooth decay, respiratory health benefits during the COVID-19 pandemic, and ongoing legal challenges with the FTC. Discussions highlight the potential implications of oral health on systemic diseases like cardiovascular disease and Parkinson's, and emphasize the importance of nasal hygiene alongside dental care.

Taking folic acid prior to conception and during pregnancy can help protect the unborn baby from developing abnormalities. Supplements are particularly important for women who have epilepsy, as anti-seizure medication (previously known as anti-convulsants or anti-epileptic drugs) can lead to a deficiency in folic acid. Until 2023, high doses of 4-5 mg per day were recommended. However, this has changed as the data has changed. Did you know the SMFM no longer recommends “high dose” folic acid preconceptionally for patients on seizure medications? This is also highlighted in a recently released epub from Obstetrics and Gynecology (Green Journal) on October 31, 2025. Listen in for details. 1.

For years, mums have been told to take folic acid to support their baby's development. It's been one of public health's biggest success stories, helping prevent serious birth defects. But new research suggests there might be more to the picture.In this episode, Dr Renee White explores an Australian study that questions whether excess folic acid could be contributing to rising rates of gestational diabetes. Renee breaks down the findings, what they mean for pregnant women, and why personalised care matters when it comes to supplements and pregnancy health.You'll hear about:How folic acid fortification changed pregnancy outcomes worldwideWhat researchers found about folate levels and gestational diabetes riskThe role genetics, like MTHFR variants, may play in folic acid metabolismWhy a “one size fits all” approach to supplementation might need rethinkingWhat to discuss with your healthcare provider before making changesThis episode reminds us that science evolves, and understanding the evidence helps us make informed choices. Mamas stay curious, ask questions, and keep working with your healthcare team to find what's right for you.Resources & Links

In this week's solo episode of The Energy Code, Dr. Mike Belkowski introduces a brand-new addition to what he calls the Mitochondrial Matrix: minerals. Often overlooked in the world of biohacking, minerals are the true foundation of energy production, cellular repair, and mitochondrial performance.   Dr. Mike dives deep into the biophysics of mineralization — why trace minerals like magnesium, copper, iron, and selenium are indispensable for redox balance, ATP synthesis, and overall cellular vitality. You'll learn how mineral depletion from modern farming and processed foods is silently driving fatigue, inflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction — and how to rebuild that foundation with the right forms of mineral support.   This episode also unpacks the three pillars of mineralization — Folic Acid, Humic Acid, and Marine Minerals—revealing how each uniquely restores redox balance, enhances detoxification, and recharges your mitochondria. Plus, Dr. Mike announces BioLight's newest supplement, BioMinerals, combining all three of these powerhouse ingredients in one synergistic formula.   Expect an eye-opening blend of ancient wisdom, modern biophysics, and practical strategies for anyone looking to upgrade their biology from the inside out. Key Topics Covered Why minerals are the unsung heroes of mitochondrial energy The connection between mineralization and redox potential How folic acid enhances nutrient absorption and mitochondrial performance The gut-protective power of humic acid and Shilajit The mitochondrial synergy between minerals, CoQ10, and energy production How marine minerals (like Quinton seawater) mirror human plasma Introducing BioMinerals: the most comprehensive mineral elixir for cellular energy A “low and consistent” approach to consistent re-mineralization for long-term vitality Key Quotes from Dr. Mike   “Minerals might sound boring — but they're foundational to energy itself.” “Your mitochondria run on electrons, and minerals are their conductors.” “A mineralized body is an energized body.” “BioMinerals is essentially Powerade on steroids — but without the sugar and with real science.” Episode Timeline   00:00 – Welcome to The Energy Code 00:33 – Why minerals are being added to the Mitochondrial Matrix 03:20 – The overlooked power of minerals for cellular energy 07:15 – What true mineralization looks like 08:08 – The three pillars: Folic, Humic, and Marine minerals 10:16 – Why sourcing and purity matter most 22:12 – Folic acid as a mitochondrial energizer 26:14 – Humic acid and Shilajit for gut and energy 43:10 – Marine minerals and the science of Quinton seawater 61:13 – The birth of BioLight's new BioMinerals 68:45 – How to use it daily for steady re-mineralization 77:17 – Launch discount and how to order Resources & Mentions Healing Is Voltage by Dr. Jerry Tennant​ The Mitochondriac Manifesto 2 by R.D.

We're in the middle of a fertility crisis — and much of it traces back to the food we eat, the toxins we're exposed to, and the outdated prenatal nutrition advice women are still being given. In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Lily Nichols, RDN, CDE — bestselling author of Real Food for Pregnancy, Real Food for Gestational Diabetes, and Real Food for Fertility — to talk about what women really need before, during, and after pregnancy. We cover: Why preconception nutrition matters long before you try to conceive The nutrients that actually move the needle for fertility and pregnancy outcomes How to support detox pathways safely (even during pregnancy) The truth about gestational diabetes and the flawed glucose test Why postpartum depletion is so common — and how to rebuild your nutrient stores The emotional side of nourishment: guilt, cravings, perfectionism, and self-trust How traditional cultures cared for new mothers — and what we can learn from them Why our fertility crisis is a reflection of deeper environmental and societal breakdowns This episode isn't just for pregnant women — it's for anyone who wants to understand how we've drifted so far from real nourishment and what it looks like to return to it.

What if the very nutrient celebrated for preventing neural tube defects is now tipping into excess, disrupting biochemistry, fuelling anxiety, and shaping the health of the next generation?In this thought-provoking conversation, clinician–researcher Carolyn Ledowsky - now nearing the end of a four-year PhD - shares her evidence-based re-evaluation of folic acid, methylfolate, and the overlooked role of men in preconception care.Carolyn unpacks why folic acid isn't the villain, but why unchecked intake poses real risks. We explore unmetabolised folic acid and methylation bottlenecks, the stability challenges of methylfolate, and why folinic acid may offer a practical interim solution. She outlines a pragmatic public health roadmap: cap daily intake at 400–500 mcg, remove voluntary fortification to prevent hidden excess, and individualise care with methylfolate plus B12 and cofactors where needed.This conversation also delves into recurrent pregnancy loss and the striking results of tailored protocols - removing folic acid, lowering fortified foods, using methylfolate, testing MTHFR/DHFR status, and including the partner. Importantly, Carolyn brings men into focus, highlighting emerging evidence that male folate metabolism and genetics directly influence fertility and pregnancy outcomes.And in a surprising clinical insight, she reveals how elevated B6 often normalises quickly with lysine - reshaping how we think about nutrient “toxicity” in the post-viral era.If you care about smarter prenatal nutrition, realistic fortification policy, and giving couples the best chance of healthy conception, this episode provides a science-led roadmap for clinicians, policymakers, and future parents alike.Connect with Carolyn: mthfr supportRead Carolyn's Paper: Health effects of excess folic acid use and high blood folate during preconception and pregnancy: a systematic reviewShownotes and references are available on the Designs for Health websiteRegister as a Designs for Health Practitioner and discover quality practitioner- only supplements at www.designsforhealth.com.au Follow us on Socials Instagram: Designsforhealthaus Facebook: Designsforhealthaus DISCLAIMER: The Information provided in the Wellness by Designs podcast is for educational purposes only; the information presented is not intended to be used as medical advice; please seek the advice of a qualified healthcare professional if what you have heard here today raises questions or concerns relating to your health

Thank you for ALL that you do and thank you for using your story to help heal others! I am an IHP2 and need advice. I am working with a client, she is in her mid 30s and she has had horrific breath and overall dryness of her entire body since a child. Her dad and siblings have the same issues along with her oldest daughter. She has tried EVERY imaginable product to fix her breath with zero success. She has done the 21 day detox, & is finishing up the CBO Protocol with H.Pylori & will be starting the Finisher. She did a HTMA last year with someone else but nothing alarming. She is hopeless that her breath can't be fixed. What is your suggestion as to what direction we should go next? She does not drink filtered water, is on birth control & an anti depressant. THANKS!!!!            Kayley: I am 24 yrs old 5'2" 123lbs. I have diagnosed Rheumatoid Arthritis that has severely impacted my life.
