Edit1: some thoughts based on comments. I was diagnosed with low vitamin D a few months ago but took bills. Maybe a month ago I ran out. I thought getting outside more recently was enough. You all inspired me to be more serious about it. Got my vitamin D3 and b12 pills.
Also, I noticed the two days I felt so tired I slept later and had alcohol too late in the night. One drink but around 12am. I think not just sleep quantity but when I sleep and quality matter.
Will aim to take my pills, not drink after 8-9pm if I drink, and sleep before 11pm.
Thanks for all the advice :)
Fully support this. I’ve heard for years that “B12 deficiency is uncommon with a western diet,” and yet, it happened to me.
I stayed exhausted, lost a ton of weight, and had terrible anxiety.
B12 is prevalent in the diet, but not everybody has the so-called “intrinsic factor” that permits the body to actually process it. If you lack it it’s very difficult to get enough B12 no matter what you eat. (Ask me how I know…)
