27. All About B Vitamins (Part 1)

B vitamins are some of the most overlooked nutrients, yet they play a critical role in turning food into energy, supporting fat loss, improving iron absorption, managing cholesterol, and promoting wound healing. In this episode, Emily and AJ break down vitamins B1 through B5, explaining how these nutrients affect metabolism and overall health, why deficiencies often go unnoticed, and which foods and supplements can help you optimize your intake.

What You'll Gain:

B vitamins power your metabolism: Vitamins B1 and B2 are essential for converting carbohydrates and fats into usable energy.
Food sources require intentional choices: Nutritional yeast, organ meats, eggs, almonds, and red meat are some of the richest sources of B vitamins.
B vitamins support more than energy: They also help with iron absorption, cholesterol management, mental health, and tissue repair.
Supplement quality and timing matter: Different forms of B vitamins are absorbed differently, and some, like B5 and biotin, should not be taken together.
"If you are using supplementation, you should be talking to somebody who can actually guide you thoroughly for what you specifically need." - Emily
