The Impact of Elevated Homocysteine on Heart Health

Dr. Laurie Marbas Podcast

In this episode, I dive into the topic of elevated homocysteine levels in the context of a plant-based diet. I'll explain what homocysteine is and its role in the body's metabolism, emphasizing the importance of measuring B12 levels. You'll learn about the relationship between homocysteine and methionine, an essential amino acid found in plant-based foods. I provide an overview of homocysteine metabolism and discuss the conversion of methionine to S-adenosylmethionine (SAM).
