And just check. A lot of foods like the plant milks, et cetera, are fortified with B12. Do you have a sense or a preference around the type of B12? And this is for the plant-based people. Methylated, methicobalamin, cabalamin, like there are different forms and there seems to be some confusion about which one people should be opting for. So

it's interesting because my understanding is that the oral supplementation may not be as effective. You might need to take it as a shot, as an IM injection. So speaking to your provider about that is important in terms of supplementing it. And the one that I tend to lean towards is methylcobalamin.

What is an adaptogen and how are these working in concert with everything else and impacting our mental health?

So, interestingly, ashwagandha is sort of a root that was used and does not taste good, it tastes very bitter, which is why a supplement is a good idea. It was used in ancient diabetic medicine for eons and for different conditions. But it has actually ended up having a good number of human trials helping anxiety. So I've really come to embrace it as more than just my cultural roots, but something that can help individuals who are looking for a few solutions that are not a prescription medication. You know, what an adaptogen does is uses the mechanisms of your bodily systems to actually improve a certain condition. And in this case, with ashwagandha, we know that people actually some relief over time for anxiety. So it's a good supplement to consider. Saffron is an herb that I love to, you know, spice I love to cook with. It's expensive and you don't use a lot of it yet. Saffron has a number of trials showing that it helps with a mood and helps with anxiety. saffron is another one that I like to suggest as a supplement. And anecdotally, individuals have told me on podcasts and other places that it's something they've given their children because it's something they found to be safe. They've spoken to a pediatrician. They don't want their child to take a prescription medication. So it's just an interesting thing to consider.
