28. All About B Vitamins (Part 2)

In Part 2 of our B vitamin deep dive, we continue the conversation by unpacking the powerhouse roles of vitamins B6 through B12. From balancing hormones and supporting healthy pregnancies to protecting your brain, nerves, and DNA, these nutrients are essential for energy, recovery, and long-term health. The episode also highlights why vegetarians, older adults, pregnant women, and anyone training hard may need to pay closer attention to deficiencies and supplementation.

What You'll Learn:

B6 supports brain and hormone health: It helps regulate neurotransmitters, reduce seizure risk, and balance estrogen levels.
Biotin does more than improve hair, skin, and nails: It is crucial during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and protein metabolism.
Folate is vital for pregnancy and nervous system function: Adequate intake dramatically reduces the risk of birth defects like spina bifida.
B12 protects your nerves and preserves DNA: It helps prevent anemia, supports brain function, and is especially important for vegetarians and older adults.

"Folic acid supplementation in grains, like bread items and cereals, is one of the greatest public health initiatives of the 20th century." - AJ
