The link between nutritional deficiencies and common diseases

In our busy lives, it’s easy to overlook the role nutrition plays in overall health. However, maintaining optimal levels of essential vitamins and minerals is not only important for feeling your best—it’s critical for preventing and managing many common diseases. At Stay Medical, we understand the impact nutritional deficiencies can have on your health, which is why we offer IV therapy, IM injections, and advanced diagnostic tests to help identify and correct these imbalances early.

What are nutritional deficiencies?

A nutritional deficiency occurs when your body doesn’t get enough of a vital nutrient. This can result from poor diet, absorption issues, chronic illness, or prolonged stress. Some of the most common deficiencies include:

• Vitamin D
• Vitamin B12
• Folic Acid
• Iron
• Magnesium
• Vitamin C

Diseases linked to nutritional deficiencies

Nutrient shortages can cause anything from mild symptoms to chronic health conditions. Some of the most common issues include:

• Chronic Fatigue: often linked to low levels of B12, iron, or magnesium.
• Depression and Anxiety: associated with deficiencies in vitamin D, B-complex, and Omega-3s.
• Weakened Immune System: low vitamin C, zinc, or folate can make the body more vulnerable to infections.
• Cardiovascular Issues: magnesium and vitamin D deficiencies are linked to high blood pressure and heart disease.
• Pregnancy Complications: folic acid is essential to prevent neural tube defects in developing babies.

How to detect a deficiency

At Stay Medical, we offer comprehensive lab testing with over 60 biomarkers to pinpoint specific deficiencies. Our genetic testing also helps uncover how your body processes nutrients, allowing for personalized treatment plans.
