When a consultation is set with a patient, they will come into the office and we will gather some information from them, including a brief health history, exercise and eating habits. Then our trained health coach will walk them step-by-step through the program and all it entails. If the patient decides that they would like to start the protocol, a body analysis will then be done and they will officially start their journey to a healthier and happier life!
To know if you possibly have a Vitamin B-12 deficiency, look for these symptoms:
– Weakness, Tiredness, or Lightheadedness
– Heart Palpitations & Shortness of Breath
– Pale Skin
– A Smooth Tongue
– Constipation, Diarrhea, Loss of Appetite, or Gas
– Nerve Problems Like Numbness or Tingling, Muscle Weakness, and Problems Walking
– Vision Loss
Vitamin B-12 is found in meat and dairy products and plays an important role in the growth and replication of cells and the functioning of the nervous system.
Those at higher risk of developing Vitamin B-12 deficiencies are those of bariatric patients and those practicing a vegan diet. Bariatric patients are at an increased risk of developing a B-12 deficiency because they have had their digestive tracts altered in such a way that it will interfere with the way the body naturally absorbs this vitamin.
Those that stick to a vegetarian diet- one that excludes all animal products, have a greater chance of developing a B-12 deficiency. B-12 is not found in any plant food but is abundant in many meats and fish, and in smaller amounts in milk and eggs. This makes it difficult for those on a vegetarian diet to get the necessary amount that they need.
If you show some or all of these symptoms, go to your physician and request a blood test which will confirm if you are suffering from a B-12 deficiency.
