When we’re talking about dementia, medical training excels at providing evidence-based frameworks for diagnosis and treatment, but often fails at prevention. The traditional healthcare system often doesn’t emphasize modifiable risk factors—the lifestyle and behavioral changes we can control outside of genetics like diet, exercise, and stress management.

Time constraints during visits prevent doctors from identifying these crucial factors (I think we can all unfortunately relate to being rushed out of the office before our questions have been answered). This gap in preventive care affects our ability to address not openly dementia but other major health concerns like cardiovascular disease, metabolic issues, and cancer.

The third most common deficiency that I see in my medical practice is vitamin B12 deficiency. This can occur in individuals who may not be consuming sufficient sources of vitamin B12, but it can also occur because they have inadequate absorption. Inflammatory bowel disease, specifically Crohn’s disease, can cause people to malabsorb vitamin B12. Pernicious anemia, atrophic gastritis, Celiac disease and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) are other conditions where B12 is not adequately absorbed. Medications such as metformin (for diabetes) and PPIs (for acid reflux) can also negatively impact B12 absorption. This is not an exhaustive list - if you’d like me to elaborate on this, let me know in the comments!

In addition to low B12 levels on blood work, elevated homocysteine and methylmalonic acid (MMA) on labs can indicate a vitamin B12 deficiency.

The second most common deficiency that I see in my patients is iron deficiency, especially in women of reproductive age. This correlation is due to their menstrual blood losses every month. When assessing iron levels, we look at an iron panel as well as ferritin. If ferritin is less than forty, this can indicate inadequate iron stores.

Insufficient iron levels can occur in individuals that might be on a vegetarian or vegan diet, due to intake of less bioavailable iron. It also might occur in people with Celiac disease or other GI conditions, due to difficulty absorbing iron from the diet. If an individual has an iron deficiency or iron deficiency anemia and we can’t explain it, we want to look to the gastrointestinal system for the possible source, because they could be losing blood, and these could include occult blood losses due to cancer.

For iron supplementation, we can supplement iron orally or intravenously if needed. Typically, I will start with oral iron and tailor the dose to the individual, while monitoring response to therapy and tolerance of iron (it can cause constipation, nausea or diarrhea). Vitamin C supplements or vitamin C-containing food taken with iron can help to improve the absorption of iron, while calcium supplements can inhibit the absorption of iron.

My dear friend Tamara, you are deeply missed.

I wish I had known you longer, but I am incredibly grateful for the time we shared. You radiated resilience, wisdom, creativity, and an unbreakable strength.

Your ability to move through life with such grace, love and kindness during the toughest of times was something I admired deeply.

You taught us the beauty of being present and the courage to sit with the unknown.

Vitamin D deficiency affects 50% of the worldwide population. This deficiency can be caused by limited sun exposure, darker skin pigmentation, low dietary intake and poor fat absorption. What are normal vitamin D ranges?

☀️less than 20 ng/mL is deficiency
☀️20-29 ng/mL is insufficiency
☀️greater than or equal to 30 ng/mL is normal

There may be added benefit from being in the mid to upper level of expected range (40-70 ng/mL), however there are potential complications if levels are too high. I assess each patient individually, discuss goals, personalize supplementation and monitor labs accordingly.

The three most common nutrient deficiencies I encounter in my medical practice are:

-Vitamin D: crucial for bone health, metabolic health, enhancing innate immunity and regulating adaptive immunity; studies show an association between low vitamin D levels and autoimmunity and cancer
-Iron: common deficiency in women of reproductive age, where low end of range ferritin levels by standard labs are often overlooked
-Vitamin B12: can cause neurological symptoms and increase dementia risk even at low-normal levels

These deficiencies are easy to test for and treat, so it’s important to get screened and work with your doctor to address them. I’ll be diving deeper into each specific deficiency in future videos!

I was so grateful to me a part of an incredible lineup of speakers for the 2nd Annual SoMeDocs Menopause Conference this year.

This event brings together physicians and health experts who are deeply engaged in advancing conversations around menopause care, with thoughtful, evidence-based discussions designed to support clinicians in caring for patients through this important life stage.

The entire event is now available online, making it easy to attend from anywhere. The program is beautifully organized and professionally produced, with a strong focus on practical insights and meaningful dialogue. Attendees can also choose to complete optional CME reflection credits connected to the sessions.

If menopause care is part of your clinical work, or if you want to deepen your understanding of this rapidly evolving space in medicine, I think this will be a valuable experience.

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, and the data is sobering: colorectal cancer is now one of the leading causes of cancer-related death in the United States. While rates have declined in adults over 65, incidence is rising sharply in younger populations, particularly Generation X.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Between 1988 and 2015, colorectal cancer rates in adults under 50 increased by 63% in the U.S. Gen X—now between the ages of 45 and 60—sits directly at the center of this trend. So what’s driving this increase, and more importantly, what can be done to reduce risk?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
From a nutrition standpoint, modern, Western diets are playing a major role. Increased consumption of ultra-processed foods and processed meats, combined with low fiber intake, higher added sugar, and frequent consumption of sugary beverages, has significantly altered gut health and metabolic function. Research shows that drinking two or more sugary beverages per day more than doubles the risk of colon cancer.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A sedentary lifestyle further compounds this risk. Physical inactivity, along with rising rates of obesity and metabolic syndrome, is strongly associated with colorectal cancer development.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What can Gen X do to reduce their risk?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-Prioritize fiber intake. More than 90% of U.S. adults do not consume enough fiber.
-Move your body regularly. Long-term studies show that engaging in five hours of brisk walking per week or two hours of running, sustained over decades, significantly reduces the risk of digestive cancers.
-Avoid processed meats and ultra-processed foods.
-Limit or eliminate alcohol.
-Check and optimize vitamin D levels. Very low vitamin D levels (
