Vitamin B12 acts as a cofactor (helper molecule) for several essential enzymes.
Without it, major cellular reactions slow down or malfunction — especially those involving DNA synthesis, methylation, and energy metabolism.

⸻

🧬 1. DNA Synthesis & Cell Division
• B12 is required for thymidine synthesis, a building block of DNA.
• Works alongside folate (vitamin B9) — they are tightly linked.
• When B12 is low, folate becomes “trapped” in an unusable form (the methyl trap), leading to impaired DNA replication.

👉 Affects rapidly dividing cells most — like red blood cells, gut lining, skin, and hair.
Result of deficiency: megaloblastic anemia, fatigue, poor wound healing.

⸻

⚡️ 2. Energy Production (Mitochondrial Function)

B12 is required for fat and amino acid metabolism, converting nutrients into usable energy.

Key enzyme:

Methylmalonyl-CoA mutase
• Converts methylmalonyl-CoA → succinyl-CoA (an important Krebs cycle intermediate).
• Without B12, methylmalonic acid (MMA) builds up and mitochondria can’t efficiently produce ATP.

👉 Result of deficiency: fatigue, weakness, exercise intolerance, and sometimes myelin damage.

⸻

🧠 3. Methylation Cycle & Neurotransmitter Production

B12 (as methylcobalamin) is a cofactor for:
Methionine synthase, which converts:

Homocysteine → Methionine → S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe)

SAMe is the body’s universal methyl donor used in:
• Neurotransmitter synthesis (dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine)
• Detoxification (phase II methylation)
• DNA methylation (epigenetic regulation)
• Hormone balance and liver metabolism

👉 Result of deficiency: depression, anxiety, cognitive decline, poor detox, and elevated homocysteine.

⸻

🧠 4. Myelin Synthesis and Nerve Function
• B12 is essential for myelin sheath formation (protective coating around nerves).
• Helps convert methylmalonyl-CoA to succinyl-CoA, a step in producing myelin lipids.

👉 Result of deficiency: tingling, numbness, neuropathy, balance problems, memory issues.

⸻

❤️ 5. Homocysteine Regulation & Cardiovascular Health
• B12, folate, and B6 help metabolize homocysteine (a pro-inflammatory amino acid).
• Without enough B12, homocysteine rises, damaging blood vessels and increasing cardiovascular risk.

👉 Result of deficiency: elevated homocysteine, inflammation, and vascular damage.

⸻

🧫 6. Red Blood Cell Formation
• B12 is critical in the bone marrow for maturation of red blood cells.
• Without it, RBCs become large and fragile (megaloblasts).

👉 Result: anemia, low oxygen delivery, fatigue, shortness of breath.

⸻

🌿 7. Detoxification & Liver Function
• Through methylation and SAMe, B12 supports phase II liver detox pathways.
• Important for estrogen metabolism, histamine clearance, and glutathione synthesis.

👉 Result of deficiency: sluggish detox, hormonal imbalance, histamine intolerance.

🎃 Halloween Candy & Your Immune System 👻

Halloween is fun — but too much candy can play tricks on your health!

🍬 Weakens Defenses – Just 1–2 sugary treats can make white blood cells less effective at fighting germs for at least 5 hours.

🍫 Feeds Inflammation – Sugar triggers inflammation, making it harder for your immune system to protect you.

🍭 Upsets Gut Health – Excess sugar feeds “bad” bacteria and yeast, throwing off the balance in your gut (where 70% of your immunity lives!).

🕷 Energy Crash – Sugar gives a quick spike of energy, followed by a crash that leaves you tired and moody.

🎃 Tips for a Healthier Halloween:
• Enjoy candy in moderation (set a daily limit).
• Pair sweets with protein (like nuts) to slow blood sugar spikes.
• Stay hydrated — water helps flush out sugar faster.
• Balance with nutrient-rich foods (veggies, fruits, lean proteins).

👻 Remember: Treats are fine in small amounts, but don’t let sugar play a trick on your immune system this season!

Did you eat too much candy? 🍬 Give us a call and get an Immune Boost IV to replenish and get you back on track.

Same day appointments available!

🗓️DAY 5 OF 10 DAYS OF MILLER🗓️

💔 Miller has spent OVER 400 days in a shelter environment. 💔
For more than 400 days, Miller has watched other dogs get chosen… and still waits, tail wagging, hoping this will be the day someone finally sees him. Chooses him.

Despite moving between multiple shelters to give Miller the best chance, not a single person has come forward to meet or adopt him. 😭 Please read below for more information on our boy.

❤️‍🩹 This goofy, lovable boy desperately needs your help. ❤️‍🩹
Miller joined the pack at Partners for Pets through a shelter-to-shelter transfer in May, and we’ve spent every day since trying to find the perfect fit for him. This sweet, loyal boy has spent far too long behind kennel doors-waiting for someone to finally give him a chance.

🐶 Meet Miller:
🧠 Eager to learn and quick to pick up new skills
💓 Loves to snuggle and soak up affection
🐾 Leash trained and enjoys walks
💛 Full of energy and a heart of gold
📷 Picture perfect personality
👩‍⚕️ 1 year, 10 months old | 58 lbs

Miller has so many wonderful qualities, but like all dogs, he has his quirks too. He simply needs the right match-a patient, loving home where he can decompress, feel safe, and continue to grow.
🏡 What Miller Needs:
🚫 A home without cats
😎 Adult-only household
🤝 May be selective with dog friends—meet & greet recommended!
💊 Currently on anxiety medication to help him adjust to shelter life

With consistency, love, and structure, Miller will absolutely thrive. He’s been waiting far too long for his person to come along. Could that person be you—or maybe someone you know? Please help us find him the safe, happy home he deserves. 🙏

How to train for higher testosterone

One of the most effective ways to naturally elevate testosterone is through compound strength training— movements that recruit multiple muscle groups and trigger a high hormonal response.
Here’s a simple, powerful session you (and your patients) can use:
Workout: “The Big 3”
Barbell Squat – 4 sets x 6 reps (heavy, full range)
Deadlift – 3 sets x 5 reps (focus on posterior chain engagement)
Bench Press – 4 sets x 6 reps (controlled tempo: 2 sec down, 1 sec up)
Finisher:
Sled Push or Sprint Intervals – 6 rounds x 20 seconds work / 90 seconds rest
These movements activate the body’s largest muscle groups, driving a natural increase in testosterone, growth factors, and metabolic demand — the same physiological processes BioPro+ is designed to support. BioPro is a natural hormone booster that we have at the office.
Train hard, recover smart, and let your body do what it was built to do.
