Second Segment: Questions from Listeners
Question 1 (25:40 – 31:50):“I read an article about vitamin B12 and how much to take at one time. It stated that 1 -2 micrograms is good. Is this too high and what sort of B12 supplements should I be looking for?”
B12 is an important vitamin, but the dosage can depend on the individual. Have your levels tested to find out if you need a supplement, and talk to a practitioner about the results.
When it comes to taking supplements, taking a sublingual form – forms that are easily dissolved in the mouth – allows the vitamin to be absorbed through the tissues in your mouth and entering your body more effectively. You can find them in lozenge form, like Natural Factors 1000 mcg B12 It’s the best way to get your levels up!

Recipe (37:53): Cauliflower Rice
I made this for guests for dinner, and they loved it. Some of them called it rice and didn’t even realize it was cauliflower! My husband ate the leftovers cold a couple of days later, raved about it, and suggested it would make a delicious summer salad. I’ll have to try that!
Serves 6-8
Ingredients:
