"Your blood lives or dies by three nutrients: iron folate and vitamin B12. This chart shows how they build every red blood cell you have. 🩸 Iron: You eat 1020 mg a day but absorb only 315%. Heme iron (meat) gets in easily. Non-heme (plants) struggles. Vitamin C boosts absorption. Inflammation blocks it through hepcidin trapping iron in storage. 🧬 Folate + B12: These two run the DNA synthesis machinery in your bone marrow. Folate depletes in months. B12 lasts longer but needs intrinsic factor to be absorbed. Lose either and red blood cells enlarge but cant divide. ♻ Recycling: Your body"

"Methylation is your body's on/off switch for health Methylation is how your body moves tiny chemical tags (methyl groups CH) onto DNA proteins and neurotransmitters. Its like flipping switches that control mood energy detox and gene expression. 🔹 The Two Primary Cycles Folate Cycle: Folate (B9) is converted into methyl-folate the form that can donate methyl groups. This depends on enzymes like MTHFR and cofactors such as B2 B3 and B6. 💡 Example: People with MTHFR variants may need methyl-folate supplements because they convert folic acid less efficiently. Methionine Cycle: Methionine (from"

"How the brain talks to the immune system This diagram shows the inflammatory reflex - a neural circuit where the brain regulates inflammation through the vagus nerve. Its how psychological stress inflammation and immune activity stay linked. X The signal starts in the brain The vagus nerve carries electrical impulses from the brainstem to the spleen the bodys blood-filtering and immune-coordinating organ. 🟢 Example: Deep breathing and meditation can activate the vagus nerve lowering heart rate and reducing circulating inflammatory markers like CRP and IL-6. X The spleen acts as a relay When"

"Your spine isnt just a backbone its your bodys "wiring harness." Your spine isnt just a stack of bones. Its the main cable connecting your brain to every organ muscle and sensation in your body. Each level of your spine sends out branches (spinal nerves) that control specific regions. That means: A nerve in your neck can affect your shoulders arms or even your diaphragm. A nerve in your mid-back can influence digestion. A nerve in your lower back can change how your legs feel or move. Pelvic nerves can affect bladder reproductive organs and bowel function.

"3 types of hunger explained "simply" Hunger isnt just about an empty stomach. Your brain receives signals from body composition hormones emotions and even gut microbes. Heres how the three major types work: X Homeostatic Hunger (Energy Balance Hunger) This is your bodys fuel gauge. It rises and falls based on energy needs and metabolic signals.
