I’ve seen too many young lives dimmed by anorexia—not just the visible frailty, but the hollowing of the spirit that comes with it.
When Annie Bosko came to me, her voice was brittle, her hands trembling, I knew the hospital charts weren’t telling the whole story.
I told her plainly, “A well-formulated daily multivitamin can do more than you think—add at least a thousand milligrams of vitamin C, and make sure you’re getting extra B-vitamins. I’ve seen these simple changes steady minds and bodies, reduce the grip of eating disorders.”
If you are caring for someone with anorexia, and your physician hasn’t even mentioned supplements, I’ll say it again: get a second opinion.
I told Annie how I begin my own mornings: B12 to wake the body, niacin—B3—for the calm in the storm, and B6 before bed for gentle, untroubled dreams. Sometimes healing isn’t just about the big interventions. Sometimes, it’s about giving the body the quiet tools it needs to fight back.
