Listen to Episode 86

Maintaining healthy levels of vitamin D and the B vitamins is essential for health and is moderated through the microbiome. Learn how deficiencies in these nutrients are related to a brain chemical called acetylcholine, which in turn impacts anxiety, insomnia, infertility, IBS, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and ADHD. Learn more about how to maintain a healthy balance of your B vitamins and vitamin D with Stasha Gominak MD, neurologist and sleep coach.

She’s a Certified Health Coach at High Desert Health in Tucson, Arizona. She coaches clients locally and nationwide.
