In Episode 5 of B6 Toxicity and Me – Diagnosis Stories, Melissa Page speaks with Lacy, a nurse and health coach, about her journey through vitamin B6 toxicity.

What began as routine supplement use during pregnancy and recovery from surgery gradually developed into severe neurological symptoms, gut dysfunction, vision problems, and debilitating nerve pain that left her unable to work for more than a year.

Lacy shares how she eventually connected her symptoms to excessive vitamin B6 exposure, why standard testing can sometimes miss toxicity, and the challenges of obtaining a diagnosis once supplements have been stopped and blood levels have returned to normal.

Together, Melissa and Lacy discuss:

• The hidden risks of vitamin and supplement stacking
• Why normal blood tests do not always tell the whole story
• The impact of B6 toxicity on the nervous system and gut
• Recovery strategies and nutrient reintroduction
• The importance of self-advocacy and informed healthcare decisions

Lacy's experience is a reminder that more is not always better when it comes to supplements. While every recovery journey is different, her story offers hope, practical insights, and an important message for anyone living with unexplained neurological symptoms.

If you've ever wondered whether a supplement could be contributing to your health problems, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
