Let me tell you a story. I promise it’s an eye-opener, especially for men 💚
My husband has always said he has “good genes.”
His grandad foraged wild mushrooms, cycled into his 90s, and lived to 103.
My husband is active, football once a week, swimming twice a week. He has a sitting job but he’s always on the go outside of work.
His diet? Mostly animal products. Very few vegetables.
And he always said he felt full of energy.
It took a lot of convincing to get him to try a Vitamin B Complex and Vitamin C IV infusion. He said he didn’t need it, like many people do.
After the drip, he said he had never experienced energy like that before. He felt unbelievable.
That’s when I suggested blood tests, especially as we had both been under significant stress setting up my new business.
His Vitamin B12 was 218 pg/mL.
Within range… but borderline low. Many practitioners consider optimal levels above 400.
Low B12 can contribute to:
• Fatigue
• Brain fog
• Mood changes
• Poor concentration
• Tingling in hands and feet
• Anaemia
• Long-term nerve damage if severely deficient
His Vitamin D was 26.07 nmol/L
Deficient
Vitamin D, if insufficient, can affect:
• Mood
• Immunity
• Muscle strength
• Recovery
• Bone health
• Inflammation levels
Long term deficiency can increase risk of osteoporosis and contribute to autoimmune and cardiovascular issues.
Here’s the key point:
He felt energetic.
He was active.
He has good genes.
But stress, limited vegetable intake, and daily demands were quietly draining his nutrient reserves.
The “normal range” is not always the optimal range.
Deficiencies don’t always shout.
They whisper… then accumulate.
You wonder what happens next?
My husband considers himself lucky his wife can inject him with what he needs which is Vit.D and B12.
If you under-eat, over-stress, and rely on “good genes,” you may already be borderline deficient.
Don’t wait until symptoms appear.
