How Kali Collier treated low vitamin b12?

 Note - This article is written by one of our patients about their experiences with low vitamin b12. 

My name is Kali Collier, and I just had an experience with low vitamin B12 levels that changed my life. It all started when I made the decision to change jobs, which needed a full blood examination before joining. I had no idea that this regular examination would reveal a vitamin B12 deficiency, a health problem that would have a big influence on my life.

I was shocked to learn that my vitamin B12 level was just 130 after receiving the test results, much below the suggested limit. It gave a reason for the symptoms I had been having lately, like constant tiredness, weakness, and attention problems. All of a sudden, it all made sense, and I understood that my struggles to remain motivated and focused weren't just brought on by stress or lack of sleep.

I immediately sought advice from a healthcare practitioner after realising the critical need of maintaining appropriate vitamin B12 levels for overall wellbeing. I made an appointment with my doctor to further examine the issue and devise a strategy for bringing my vitamin B12 levels back to normal.

The doctor informed me that vitamin B12 is essential for many body processes, including the formation of red blood cells, the health of nerve cells, and DNA synthesis, during our appointment. Being a vegetarian put me at a higher risk of vitamin B12 deficiency despite the fact that it is frequently present in animal-based meals such meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products.

My doctor suggested a multifaceted strategy to correct the shortage. She first suggested adding additional vitamin B12-enriched foods, like fortified cereals and plant-based milk substitutes, to my diet. She also recommended oral vitamin B12 tablets to make sure I had enough of it.

The doctor emphasised the significance of keeping a healthy lifestyle to improve vitamin B12 absorption together with dietary adjustments and supplementation. Optimising nutrient absorption and general wellbeing required regular exercise, stress reduction, and a balanced diet.

Contact a doctor

I found out I wasn't alone when I started this adventure to get my vitamin B12 levels back. I contacted online forums and support groups to get in touch with people who had gone through comparable hardships. It was encouraging to see how many people were affected by vitamin B12 deficiency and the significant effects it had on their life.

We supported one another, showed empathy for one another, and shared helpful advice by telling our stories. We talked about the many symptoms we had, the difficulties we ran into, and the methods we used to raise our vitamin B12 levels. Seeing people from many backgrounds come together to support one another was motivating.

I gradually observed an increase in energy and cognitive function as my vitamin B12 levels rose. I began to feel less exhausted than I had previously felt, and my ability to concentrate and think clearly returned. This demonstrated the transforming potential of assuming responsibility for one's health and pursuing the necessary remedies.

I encourage everyone to publicly share their tales and problems because my own path and the encouragement I got from others served as inspiration. By doing this, we may build a community that encourages empathy, understanding, and the sharing of useful knowledge with individuals who might be going through similar situations. We may play a crucial role in assisting others in identifying their own weaknesses, seeking appropriate medical assistance, and taking steps to improve their well-being by sharing personal experiences and lessons learned.

Keep in mind that prioritising your health is essential, and it's critical to pay attention to any signs or symptoms that could point to a deficiency. Consult with a medical expert who can direct you if you think you may have low vitamin B12 levels or any other health issues.

Let's work together to establish a friendly environment where we can share knowledge, become stronger, and overcome obstacles. Your life's story important and has the potential to have a good influence on someone else.
