34: The Power of Folate: Unlocking the Benefits for Optimal Health!


Listen Later

Today we dive deep into vitamin B9 - folate. This is a very big topic friends.  One I feel is vastly misunderstood and underappreciated. I wish I knew this information growing up….yet another reason why I am on a mission to spread information that can dramatically change our health trajectory.

Today we discuss:

  1. What exactly is folate.  Natural vs synthetic forms.
  2. Folate’s role in cellular function and DNA synthesis. 
  3. The link between folate and cardiovascular health.
  4. Folate’s impact on our mental wellbeing.
  5. Folate and our hormonal health
  6. The connection between folate and pregnancy
  7. Folate’s impact on how we age
  8. Food sources for folate
  9. Supplementation
  10. Key takeaways.
