Description:

In part 1 we covered what niacin is and why you need it. Here’s part 2, where Alex Leaf and I cover blood tests, foods, and supplements!

  • How much do we need? The RDA has some flaws, including claiming women need less than men, when all the evidence shows women need *more* than men.
  • Why eating enough protein is so essential, yet so unreliable as a way of boosting niacin status.
  • How the niacin in your coffee, seeds, and grains is all locked up and unavailable, and how to release it through proper preparation. Do you drink light roast or dark roast? You may either hate or love this episode… or you might just switch coffees.
  • Should we take high-dose niacin to lower cholesterol? Alex has a theory on how we can do that without getting diabetes.
