Labstories

What are white blood cells? What do they do? What causes them to be high or low? What can you do to fix them? In this episode of Labstories, I'm using a really fun police force analogy to teach you about neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils!

B12 and Folate are members of the B vitamin family. They both play roles in methylation, and as a result, overlap in testing and treatment. B12 has a separate role in neurologic function. Understand them once and for all in this episode of Labstories, which focuses on their differences: Folate is present in (almost) ALL foods. B12 is made by bacteria, and thus only in animal foods. Folate is easily absorbed, but B12 has VERY complex active absorption. Folate deficiencies only take months to develop, but B12 deficiencies take years because of enterohepatic recirculation. Folate deficiencies are relative during times of increased need, like pregnancy. B12 deficiencies are absolute, often irreversible, and lifelong from malabsorptive diseases or gastric bypass surgery. Replacement of folate is always oral (ever heard of folate shots??) and replacement of B12 can be done with injections, liquids, sublingual tablets, or MEGA dose oral supplements.
