In this episode, we dive deep into the significance of proper digestion and absorption of vitamins and minerals for optimal health. Mihaela explores the entire journey of food—from where it’s sourced, how it's stored and cooked, to the mindset and environment in which it is consumed—and how each step affects nutrient absorption. She highlights a key study that examines the relationship between vitamins and type 2 diabetes, discussing how the commonly prescribed medication metformin may impair nutrient absorption and how vitamin D could play a role in reducing diabetes risk in pre-diabetic individuals.
