Show Notes
This is the start of our requested miniseries where each episode we will discuss one vitamin or mineral, its function in our body, signs if we are deficient, food sources, and signs if we are taking in too much. These episodes will be dispersed throughout the podcast over the next several months. In episode 1 of this miniseries I introduce the history of vitamins and the scary lengths scientists went to in order to prove the necessity of vitamins to achieve health. I dive into the function of vitamin C and how it is essential for our defense against oxidative stress, for our skin and joint health, for our ability to generate energy from fats in our body (particularly important for those following a ketogenic diet, intermittent fasting, or calorie restriction), and our ability to maintain healthy cholesterol levels.
