Episode 159: This Critical Unsung Hero of Vitamins is Often Deficient

Hi, I’m Dr. Chad Larson. I do a lot of micronutrient testing. Micronutrients are the vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, in contrast with macronutrients which are the fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. Today I wanted to discuss some things about micronutrients and micronutrient testing which I find quite valuable. It really takes out a lot of the guesswork about which nutrients a person might be deficient in, and it’s a way to develop a targeted nutritional supplement protocol, and to explain to patients which foods would be most important for them in order to boost those nutrient levels.
