Boost Your Brain: The Power of B-Vitamins for Mental Health

Real food, with all of its vitamins and minerals, is just as important to healthy minds as it is to healthy bodies.
Feeling down or unusually tired? You might be missing out on some crucial nutrients. In this episode of 'Head-to-Heal', holistic nutritionist Jiordana Saade takes a closer look at the significant role B-vitamins play in mental health. Drawing from a range of studies, Jiordana explains how even a slight deficiency in these essential nutrients can lead to issues like fatigue, irritability, and depression.
But it doesn't stop there—some people have genetic mutations that make it harder for their bodies to use B-vitamins properly, making supplementation even more critical. Jiordana dives into specific B-vitamins like B6, B3, and B1, revealing their unique benefits and how they support brain function. She discusses how B6 can help with depression, B3 serves as brain food, and B1 is linked to conditions like agoraphobia and Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).
The episode also touches on the relationship between birth control pills and depression, and how B12 can prevent brain damage. With her blend of personal experience and professional expertise, Jiordana makes complex topics accessible and engaging. Whether you're dealing with mental health issues yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers practical advice and valuable insights. It's a must-listen for anyone looking to improve their mental well-being through better nutrition.
