Transform Your Health by Addressing Nutrient Deficiency with Holistic Support
Hi, I’m Beth Young, and I’ve witnessed how nutrient deficiency can silently undermine your health and vitality. If you’re experiencing unexplained fatigue, mood changes, or persistent health issues, nutritional deficiency might be the missing piece of your wellness puzzle.
Through my holistic approach at 5 Pillars of Health, I help individuals identify and address nutrient deficiencies using comprehensive strategies that go beyond simply taking supplements.
Understanding Nutrient Deficiency
Nutrient deficiency affects millions, often without them realizing it. Factors like soil depletion, food processing, stress, and poor absorption can lead to micronutrient deficiency.
Common deficiency symptoms include:
- Persistent fatigue and low energy
- Mood changes and brain fog
- Weakened immune system
- Hair, skin, and nail problems
- Sleep disturbances
Critical Deficiencies I Address
Vitamin D Deficiency
Vitamin D deficiency is epidemic, affecting immune function, bone health, and mood. I optimize your vitamin D level through safe sun exposure, dietary intake, and targeted vitamin D supplement protocols, not just vitamin D supplementation.
B Vitamin Complex
B vitamin deficiencies significantly impact energy and neurological function:
- Vitamin B12 deficiency causes deficiency anaemia and neurological symptoms
- B12 deficiency is common in vegetarians and older adults
- Vitamin B6 supports neurotransmitter production
- Vitamin B1 is crucial for energy metabolism
- Folate deficiency affects DNA synthesis
Essential Vitamins and Minerals
Iron deficiency remains one of the most common nutrient deficiencies worldwide. Vitamin C enhances iron absorption, while vitamin C deficiency leads to poor wound healing.
Vitamin A deficiency impacts vision and immunity. Vitamin E deficiency affects cellular protection. Vitamin K deficiency compromises bone health. Zinc deficiency affects immune function, while magnesium deficiency causes muscle cramps.
My Holistic Approach
Comprehensive Assessment
I don’t guess at your nutrient deficiency – we start with thorough assessment including symptom analysis, dietary intake evaluation, and targeted testing when appropriate.
Food-First Philosophy
While dietary supplements help, I address nutrient deficiency through healthy eating first. Whole foods provide nutrients in bioavailable forms with absorption-enhancing cofactors.
Root Cause Focus
Nutrient deficiency often stems from inadequate intake, digestive issues, increased stress needs, medication interactions, or lifestyle factors.
Targeted Optimization Strategies
Calcium deficiency impacts bones, iodine deficiency affects thyroid function, and potassium balance is crucial for heart health. Fatty acid deficiencies contribute to inflammation, while amino acid deficiencies affect protein synthesis.
I consider dietary reference intakes, bioavailability, nutrient interactions, and optimal timing – not just basic vitamin supplementation.
My goal isn’t just preventing nutrient deficiency – it’s achieving optimal nutrient status for vibrant health. This means going beyond minimum requirements to find your individual optimal levels.
