Podcasts about vitamins

There's a bunch of vitamins and minerals our bodies need to do their body thing. Our bodies don't make them, so we get them through food – except for vitamin D! We can get vitamin D from the UV rays from the sun, but the UV rays from the sun can also do damage. Listen to this episode to find out why you have to wear sunscreen, how we're able to get vitamin D, and how we discovered vitamins in the first place! Click here for a transcript of this episode.

In this lab minute, Dr. Stacey Clardy reviews the role of vitamin B12 testing in neurologic practice. 

I mange år har fett blitt delt inn i to enkle kategorier: sunt og usunt. Men hva om det bare er en liten del av historien? Hva om de ulike fettsyrene har helt forskjellige oppgaver i kroppen og er avgjørende for alt fra cellemembraner og immunforsvar til hjernen, hormonene og stoffskiftet?Professor emeritus Jan Raa er tilbake i Leger om livet. Som biolog, mikrobiolog og en av Norges fremste pionerer innen biomarin forskning har han brukt flere tiår på å forstå hvordan fett påvirker menneskets biologi, helt ned på cellenivå.Vi snakker blant annet om:Hva fett og fettsyrer egentlig er – og hvorfor de er blant kroppens viktigste byggesteinerForskjellen på omega-3, omega-6 og omega-9 – og hvorfor de har ulike biologiske funksjonerHvorfor ALA, EPA, DHA og DPA ikke er det sammeHvordan balansen mellom omega-3 og omega-6 har endret seg i moderne kostholdNaturens slankemiddelHvorfor ultraprosessert mat hindrer metthetInflammasjon og anti-inflammatorisk næringHvilke oljer som tåler varme, og hva som skjer med fett under steking og prosesseringTran, fiskeolje, krillolje og andre marine oljer – hva skiller dem?Hvordan ulike fettsyrer påvirker metthet, GLP-1 og energireguleringHvorfor maten vi spiser henger sammen med havet, planktonet og hele næringskjedenHva Jan ville anbefalt både voksne og barn å spise for god helseDette er en episode som utfordrer mye av det vi tror vi vet om fett, og gir et nytt perspektiv på hvorfor kvaliteten og sammensetningen av fettsyrene vi spiser kan være avgjørende for helsen vår.For mer fra Jan raa:instagram.com/janraa_professoremeritusE-post: jan.raa.privat@gmail.comjanraa.noØnsker deg en nydelig uke!AnnetteFølg meg gjerne på:Instagram.com/dr.annettedraglandFacebook.com/drannettedraglandhttps://youtube.com/@drannetteDisclaimer: Innholdet i podcasten og på denne nettsiden er ikke ment å utgjøre eller være en erstatning for profesjonell medisinsk rådgivning, diagnose eller behandling.

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.   In This Episode:  00:00 Sulfite Sensitivity Clue 00:18 Welcome and Episode Overview 00:53 Reviews and Coaching Info 03:37 Top B12 Deficiency Signs 04:35 Lab Ranges and Hidden Deficiency 05:57 Little Known Symptoms 07:03 Why B12 Matters in the Body 08:06 Blood Markers to Check 11:32 Homocysteine and Glutathione 12:06 Best Food Sources of B12 12:51 Common Causes of Low B12 14:08 Absorption Issues and Intrinsic Factor 15:05 Best B12 Supplements and Forms 16:35 Testing and Final Takeaways 17:07 Closing and Next Steps   If you're tired of thin, lifeless hair, Hydra Lift Volumizing Shampoo by Pureance can help strengthen and restore your hair's appearance.

Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about frozen vegetables. With a summer Cyclospora scare putting salad greens on trial, is the humble freezer aisle the safer, smarter choice? Jenn breaks down exactly how frozen veggies are harvested, blanched, and locked in at peak nutrition, and whether that process really does more to protect you than your fresh produce drawer. She also tackles the critics head-on: are frozen vegetables "processed," do they lose flavor and texture, and is fresh really always more nutritious? The catch is in how you cook them, and one wrong move could turn a nutrient-packed shortcut into a mushy, flavorless mistake. Jenn weighs both sides before landing on her verdict about whether frozen vegetables a permanent spot in your healthy eating routine. Like what you're hearing?

Supplements and Morning Coffee: Timing Iron, Zinc, Calcium, B Vitamins, and Vitamin D: Nutritionist Leyla Muedin explains that coffee (and tea) can interfere with nutrient absorption and digestion, so certain supplements shouldn't be taken with morning coffee. Coffee's tannins and polyphenols can significantly reduce non-heme iron absorption (decaf doesn't prevent this), and similar binding issues may affect zinc; she recommends taking iron with water at least 1–2 hours away from coffee and pairing it with vitamin C. Because caffeine may increase urination, B vitamins (especially thiamine) may be lost more readily, so she suggests taking them with food but not with coffee. Vitamin D is best taken with a fat-containing meal (not washed down with coffee), and calcium supplements should be separated from coffee since caffeine can slightly increase calcium loss. She also notes interactions such as green tea reducing folate absorption, spinach oxalates limiting mineral absorption, phytates in bran/legumes reducing iron and zinc absorption, and calcium (milk or supplements) cutting iron absorption, emphasizing timing rather than eliminating these foods.

876. There's no vitamin F or G. After E, we jump straight to K, and that quirk is a hint that this nutrient is more complicated than it looks. Vitamin K isn't one thing. It's a whole family of compounds -- K1, K2, MK-4, MK-7 -- that come from different sources and do completely different jobs, from blood clotting to steering calcium into your bones instead of your artery walls.In this episode, Monica untangles the confusing terminology and gets to the question listeners keep asking: does a vitamin K2 supplement actually protect your bones? She digs into what the research really shows, including a widely cited meta-analysis that lumped together two very different kinds of studies, why the prescription-strength results don't tell you much about the low-dose supplement in your cabinet, and whether the food and gut bacteria you already have might be doing the job on their own. Plus, the truth about taking vitamin K with your vitamin D.New to Nutrition Diva? Check out our special Spotify playlist for a collection of the best episodes curated by our team and Monica herself!

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Natalie Ochoa, president of Jigsaw Health.

Natalie Ochoa, president of Jigsaw Health, details widespread magnesium insufficiency and why it occurs (soil depletion, low plant intake/processed foods, stress-related loss, aging, and medication effects including diuretics and proton pump inhibitors). They discuss the poor reliability of standard serum magnesium testing, the limitations of RBC magnesium testing, and using symptoms such as cramps, twitches, constipation, fatigue, and sleep trouble as clues. Ochoa explains Jigsaw's sustained-release magnesium malate (MagSRT) designed to reduce GI side effects and how to read labels for elemental magnesium, with typical intake around 500 mg/day. She reviews the 2018 placebo-controlled Scottsdale Magnesium Study (91 participants) showing increases in RBC and serum magnesium and reduced deficiency symptoms, and a Korean study linking higher magnesium intake to less sarcopenia and lower CRP. They also cover MagSoothe (magnesium glycinate) and an Oura Ring-based sleep trial reporting reduced perceived stress and improved sleep quality, plus mention Jigsaw's potassium drink, electrolyte product, and cod liver oil.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with cardiologist and electrophysiologist Dr. Gregory Marcus, chair of the American Heart Association scientific statement writing group.

Cardiologist and electrophysiologist Dr. Gregory Marcus, chair of the American Heart Association scientific statement writing group, reveals evidence on coffee/caffeine and cardiovascular health. He discusses how earlier assumptions that caffeine triggers arrhythmias are complicated by genetics, individual risk factors, and mostly observational research. Marcus reviews randomized and observational findings: the CRAVE trial showed no increase in premature atrial contractions but more premature ventricular contractions on coffee days; a trial in post-cardioversion patients found less atrial fibrillation with daily coffee. Observational data suggest lower risks of type 2 diabetes, heart attack, stroke, and AFib among coffee drinkers, while heart failure risk may be lower at low intake but higher around 4–5 drinks/day. He cautions against extrapolating benefits to energy drinks, discusses additives like sugar, touches on alcohol, cannabis, Mediterranean/DASH diets, pollution, and evolving AFib treatments, wearables, and pacing/ablation technologies.

PhenoNet Cleared By FDA To Begin Phase 3 Trial Of Inhaled Alzheimer's Drug PhenoNet has received FDA clearance to begin a Phase 3 trial of PHENOGENE-1A, an inhaled formulation of cromolyn sodium, an asthma drug with decades of safety data. Unlike most Alzheimer's therapies, which target only APOE4 gene carriers, this ~648-person trial stratifies both carriers and non-carriers by genotype, testing whether reducing amyloid aggregation, inflammation, and microglial dysfunction can benefit a broader Alzheimer's population than current treatments reach. Host Dave Asprey explains why this genotype-inclusive design challenges the field's narrow focus on APOE4 carriers, and what it means for families with Alzheimer's history who don't carry the gene.

The discovery overturns the long-standing assumption that adult brains have limited capacity to replace lost astrocytes after injury or autoimmune disease. Host Dave Asprey unpacks why this finding reframes brain injury recovery as something the body may already be equipped to handle, and what the newly identified genetic pathways could mean for future regenerative therapies.

While collagen produced more total bone volume, the keratin scaffold generated bone that was more structurally organized and closer to natural bone architecture, while remaining stable and integrating cleanly with surrounding tissue. Host Dave Asprey explains why bone quality, not just quantity, matters for weight-bearing repair, and why a cheaper, more sustainable material outperforming the standard is a bigger deal than it sounds.

Host Dave Asprey weighs the compliance advantage of an oral option against his ongoing concerns about muscle loss, rebound weight gain, and the fact that GLP-1 drugs treat a symptom rather than the underlying metabolic cause.

Only 12% of participants hit that higher threshold. Host Dave Asprey breaks down why public health minimums are a floor, not an optimization target, and what listeners serious about cardiovascular protection should actually be aiming for.

A 2024 University of Iowa study found IV vitamin C combined with chemotherapy doubled overall survival in advanced pancreatic cancer patients. Host Dave Asprey reflects on how this vindicates a decades-old idea that was dismissed for the wrong reasons, and what it means for anyone facing a cancer diagnosis.

Managing High Homocysteine with MTHFR Variants and the Role of Vitamin C in Brain Aging: Registered dietitian nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses MTHFR genetic variants (C677T and A1298C), their links to impaired methylation, homocysteine, SAMe, mood issues, migraines, vitamin deficiencies, and pregnancy complications, noting many people are asymptomatic and some feel worse on methylated B vitamins and do better on standard formulations. Responding to a listener with C677T, high homocysteine, and borderline methylmalonic acid, she reviews optimal homocysteine targets and outlines other causes of elevated homocysteine such as hypothyroidism/subclinical hypothyroidism, kidney failure, obesity, hypertension, diabetes, smoking, inactivity, and medications (atorvastatin, methotrexate, fenofibrate). She suggests checking these factors, considering absorption issues (intrinsic factor) for B12, and trialing SAMe and more trimethylglycine, with possible pharmacologic folate if needed. She then summarizes an observational Japanese study (n=2,044 adults >64) linking lower plasma vitamin C to reduced gray matter and weaker default mode network connectivity, and notes diet and blood sugar can affect vitamin C status.

Chemical engineer and MoldCo founder Ariana Thacker discusses mold-related illness, including chronic inflammatory response syndrome (CIRS), as a major blind spot in conventional care for chronic, multi-system symptoms. Thacker recounts developing rapid-onset brain fog, slurred speech, GI issues, hair loss, weight gain, and shortness of breath after six and a half months in a moldy Miami apartment, seeing over a dozen specialists who attributed symptoms to stress or anxiety. They discuss exposures beyond allergy (mycotoxins, VOCs, microbial fragments), genetic susceptibility (HLA haplotypes), and prevalence estimates tied to water-damaged homes. The episode covers home detection (sensory/visual checks, humidity, dust PCR/ERMI testing, certified inspectors) and diagnostics/treatment via Shoemaker-related biomarkers and protocols, including low-starch diet guidance and VIP peptide therapy, plus MoldCo's testing and virtual care services.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with chemical engineer and MoldCo founder Ariana Thacker.

Supplements and health technologies can support the body in very different ways. In this episode we will talk about how they differ, why delivery methods matter, and how to choose the right approach. When most people think about improving their health, they often think about supplements. Vitamins. Minerals. Herbs. Amino acids. Nutrients. But supplements aren't the only tools available. Today, there are also many different health technologies designed to interact with the body in ways that don't involve taking a pill, powder, or liquid. So what's the difference? And how do you know which approach is right for you? The answer begins with understanding that supplements and health technologies are fundamentally different categories. They may have completely different mechanisms of action and delivery methods. That's why I believe it's important to understand how each works before deciding whether it deserves a place in your overall health approach. How Supplements Work Supplements generally provide the body with substances that it can use. Depending on the supplement, this might include: Vitamins Minerals Amino acids Fatty acids Herbs Enzymes Other nutritional compounds...   Click Here or Click the link below for more details! https://naturallyrecoveringautism.com/252

I once had a patient tell me, "You don't know much about vitamin D, do you?" He had a point, not because I hadn't studied it, but because so much of what we're taught about vitamin D simply hasn't caught up to the research.My patient's question led me down a path of research that changed how I treat every patient who walks through my door.In this episode, I break down Why vitamin D isn't a vitamin at all but a hormone quietly running the show for your gut and immune system Why the "toxic" dose you've been warned about is a myth that's kept millions of people needlessly deficient Why this one hormone might be the closest thing we have to a longevity switch.Plus, learn the exact number I push my own patients' levels to, and why your doctor's idea of "normal" is probably way too low.For full show notes and transcript: drgundry.com/how-much-vitamin-d-should-i-takeOn this episode, you'll learn: Why vitamin D isn't actually a vitamin (01:11)How nearly 80% of new patients turn out to be vitamin D deficient (you probably are too!)

Creating a Healthier Home: Indoor Air Purification and Reverse Osmosis Water Safety. Environmental and wellness expert Helen Christoni discusses reducing toxic exposures at home through improved indoor air and water quality. Christoni describes her health crisis—severe osteoporosis at 42 and multiple fractures—which she attributes to chronic artificial fragrance exposure in beauty product development, and how purifying air and water helped her recover and later complete multiple marathons. They discuss indoor air hazards such as VOCs (including formaldehyde), microplastics, wildfire smoke particles, and the importance of using a sealed, high-grade HEPA (down to 0.003 microns) plus substantial carbon filtration, proper room sizing, and filter maintenance; they caution against relying on ionizers or UV add-ons. On water, Christoni urges reverse osmosis to address contaminants including lead, PFAS, pharmaceuticals, and arsenic, noting boiling concentrates pollutants; they also discuss shower filtration for chlorine/chloramines. Resources include airdoctor.com, aquatru.com, isyourairqualitysafe.com, and ismywatersafe.com.

Full show notes: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/sunpodcast In this episode, journalist Rowan Jacobsen, author of In Defense of Sunlight, challenges everything you thought you knew about sun exposure. Modeled after Michael Pollan's In Defense of Food, his book argues we've been gaslit into a "zero-sun policy" the science does not actually support. You'll hear why melanoma is tied to intermittent sunburns rather than steady sun, the surprising 2024 research suggesting UVB may be protective while UVA is the real concern, and how office culture, window glass, and car windows may all be hidden pieces of the skin cancer puzzle. You'll also learn why the vitamin D supplement story is more complicated than the pills suggest, how sunlight lowers blood pressure through nitric oxide and lifts your mood through natural opioids, where sunscreen genuinely helps and where hats and shirts do better, what to make of the new sunscreen ingredient Bemotrizinol, and how a simple 30-day reset of your light exposure could transform your sleep.

Vitamin C gets treated like a one-note “immune vitamin,” but the real story is bigger and far more relevant to healthy aging. We dig into what ascorbic acid actually does in the body, from collagen production and blood vessel support to antioxidant protection that matters for high-demand tissues like the brain and the eyes. If you care about preserving vision, protecting your lens, and supporting long-term cognitive health, this conversation reframes vitamin C as a daily essential, not a seasonal add-on.We also walk through compelling research in older adults showing an association between lower plasma vitamin C levels and lower gray matter volume plus weaker connectivity in key brain networks tied to memory, attention, and self-reflection. That's not proof of cause and effect, but it's a strong signal that vitamin C status may be a useful biomarker for healthier brain aging. We keep it grounded by zooming out to the full nutrition and lifestyle picture, including omega-3 fatty acids, B vitamins, magnesium, vitamin E, carotenoids, exercise, sleep, blood sugar control, blood pressure control, and cognitive engagement.On the vision side, we explain why the eye is so vulnerable to oxidative stress from light exposure, high oxygen use, inflammation, and time. Vitamin C concentrates in the aqueous humor and lens, helping defend against protein damage linked with cataracts, and it supports collagen that helps maintain the structure of the cornea, vitreous, retina, and ocular blood vessels. We also cover how vitamin C fits into the AREDS nutrient formula for age-related macular degeneration progression and why glaucoma conversations often include oxidative stress and vascular support. You'll leave with a clear list of vitamin C-rich foods, practical timing tips for a water-soluble vitamin, and a realistic view of where supplements may fit.

Lowering A1C in Prediabetes and Using Less Insulin on a Low-Carb Diet: Leyla Muedin, a registered dietitian nutritionist, answers listener questions about blood sugar and insulin. Responding to Rita, whose hemoglobin A1C rose from 5.6 to 5.8, Layla says “glucose hacks” to blunt carb absorption aren't appropriate at that level and recommends a strict very low-carb/keto approach (under 25 grams of total carbs per day), avoiding sugar, starchy vegetables, fruit (except avocado), sweetened beverages, and even alternative sweeteners and low-carb processed products; she suggests retesting A1C after three months and avoiding testing during illness or inflammation. She also addresses Joy, a type 1 diabetic, affirming low-carb eating to reduce insulin needs and weight gain, criticizing an insurance pricing structure that charges more when insulin is used more slowly, and expressing concern about doctors prescribing insulin too quickly for type 2 diabetes instead of dietary intervention.

These days there is no shortage of companies and organizations telling you exactly how to "protect" yourself from whatever the virus du jour is today. Unfortunately, many of those methods of protection come with a slew of long-term side effects that are often worse than the thing you're trying to combat.  What's more incredible is that our body already comes with a built-in protection system - your immune system! But, so many Americans suffer from low or sub-par functioning immune systems. Why is that? Well, as you probably imagine, there are a host of reasons and we're going to delve into them today, so you can learn exactly what you can do to boost your immune system and treat your body right so it takes care of you!

Dennis Prager's conversation with family psychologist John Rosemond is a must-listen for parents and anyone interested in understanding the root of the problems plaguing modern society. In this episode of Timeless Wisdom, they dive into the concept of "Vitamin N," which stands for the word "no," and how its absence is affecting children's emotional resilience and character development. The discussion centers around the idea that today's parents are failing to deny their children the opportunity to experience the natural consequences of their actions, leading to an entitled and emotionally fragile generation. Rosemond shares his insights on how the shift in parenting styles, particularly the emphasis on validating children's emotions, has contributed to this issue. He also highlights the importance of teaching children the value of responsibility and obligation, rather than just focusing on relationships and feelings.

Today we're talking about vitamins. Walk into any pharmacy or supermarket and you'll find a shelf stacked with brightly coloured jars promising better immunity, stronger bones and sharper minds. Of course, I'm talking about vitamin supplements. But despite looking like medical products, supplements aren't held to the same rigorous testing standards as medicines. So how much of what they promise is actually backed by science? I'm joined by Dr. David Seres to help cut through the confusion and uncover what the science really says about vitamin C, vitamin D, and even the mysterious multivitamins.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with endocrinologist Dr. Florence Comite.

Precision Hormone Health: Testosterone, Menopause, Muscle, Sleep, and Proactive Longevity: Endocrinologist Dr. Florence Comite details her book “Invincible: Defy Your Genetic Destiny to Live Better, Longer” and her precision-medicine approach to proactive longevity. She discusses testosterone decline beginning in the 30s in both sexes, stress-related low T (including in special forces), and testosterone's roles in energy, cognition, motivation, muscle, bone, and chronic disease risk. Comite argues genes are a “draft” and health destiny can be altered through epigenetic-like choices, individualized data, and early monitoring. For women, she emphasizes estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone in perimenopause/menopause, preferring bioidentical hormones and criticizing WHI's use of Premarin/Provera and older participants. She covers osteoporosis prevention, muscle as an “organ of longevity,” protein intake, resistance training, continuous glucose monitors for individualized diet, sleep quality tracking via wearables, and selective use of DHEA, pregnenolone, growth hormone pathways, and peptides with attention to sourcing and risk.

Vitamin K is often treated as a single nutrient, but its different forms may support very different functions throughout the body. In this episode, Dr. Jen speaks with biochemist and independent researcher Pat Theut about the distinctions between K1, MK-4, and MK-7 and their potential roles in blood clotting, calcium regulation, bone strength, cardiovascular health, brain aging, and athletic performance. They explore how vitamin K works alongside vitamin D and magnesium, why calcium supplementation may not provide the benefits many people expect, and how gut health, fermented foods, medications, and modern farming practices may influence vitamin K status. This conversation offers a deeper look at an overlooked nutrient family and why personalized nutrition matters for long-term health. Patrick “Pat” Theut is a biochemist, independent researcher, high-performance athletic coach, and founder of Ultra K. After using his scientific background to investigate his own advanced coronary artery disease, Pat became a dedicated advocate for greater awareness of the vitamin K family. His work focuses on translating complex research involving K1, MK-4, MK-7, vitamin D, magnesium, bone health, cardiovascular function, and athletic performance into practical education that helps people make more informed decisions about long-term health. Website: https://www.k-vitamins.com/index.php?page=vitamin-k-homePODCAST: Thank you for listening please subscribe and share!
