The Relationship between Vitamin B12 and Back Health

In this episode, Ben James and Jacob Steyn dive into the potential of vitamin B12 in reducing back pain. They discuss intriguing studies that show a correlation between low B12 levels and increased pain, emphasizing the crucial role of B12 found in animal food sources. The conversation sheds light on the risks of B12 deficiency for those following a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle and the challenges of identifying this deficiency through standard blood tests.

Ben and Jacob highlight the importance of functional medicine, advanced blood testing, and biome-genome testing to accurately identify patients with B12 deficiencies. They explore the potential benefits of B12 supplementation, with Jacob advocating for B12 injections and Ben suggesting supplementation for patients experiencing persistent symptoms.

The episode also covers the impact of gut health on B12 absorption, the limitations of standard blood tests, and the physiological effects of B12 deficiency on pain perception and inflammation. Tune in to learn about practical action items for addressing B12 deficiency, the benefits of B12 injections, and why considering B12 levels is crucial for effective back pain management.

Action Items:

  1. Consider testing B12 levels or supplementing for patients who are vegetarian/vegan or have gut issues affecting absorption.
  2. Discuss B12 testing and supplementation with patients who do not improve as expected with treatment.
  3. Revisit the B12 topic in more detail in a future podcast, including testing challenges and oral supplementation research.
