Alexandre Olmos, MD: "These are the 3 deficiencies that could be sabotaging your energy and hormones."

Constant fatigue, brain fog, and unexplained hormonal changes are increasingly common symptoms, even among people who lead healthy lives. According to internist and epigenetics expert Alexandre Olmos , these imbalances could be related to specific nutritional deficiencies that aren't always detected in conventional blood tests, but which have a direct impact on energy, mood, and hormonal balance.

Through epigenetic studies in consultation, Olmos has identified a frequently recurring pattern: low levels of B vitamins , particularly B6, B12, and B9. "These are the three deficiencies that could be sabotaging your energy and hormones," the specialist noted in a video posted on his social media, where he explains that these deficiencies can affect even people who eat well and exercise regularly.

The consequences of a vitamin B deficiency

First, the doctor highlights vitamin B6 as key to hormonal regulation, the nervous system, and serotonin production. “ When it's low, irritability, insomnia, severe PMS, and problems with estrogen metabolism can occur ,” Olmos explained, emphasizing that its effects are often overlooked or confused with emotional disorders or stress.

Vitamin B12 , for its part, is essential for cellular energy, cognitive function, and red blood cell production. "Even a mild deficiency causes fatigue, brain fog, and muscle weakness ," the doctor warned. He explains that this deficiency isn't always reflected in the most common tests, so many people continue to experience symptoms without receiving an accurate diagnosis.

The third element in this triad is folate, or vitamin B9 , which is essential for methylation processes—that is, for the way our genes are expressed. Its deficiency, according to Olmos, can cause inflammation , digestive disorders, and blockages in liver detoxification . These symptoms may go unnoticed or be attributed to other disorders without addressing the true biochemical origin of the problem.

“My goal isn't to fill prescriptions or generic supplements,” the specialist clarifies, “but to help you understand how your individual biology works and why these deficiencies may be affecting your digestion, your energy, your mood, even if you're doing everything right.” His approach, centered on epigenetics, seeks to personalize medical care by taking into account individual factors that influence health beyond conventional habits.
