B6 Bombshell: The Supplement You Didn’t Know Could Screw You- neurologically speaking. High Tea with Lady V

Pull up those knickers, grab your tea or maybe something stronger because in today’s episode of High Tea with Lady V, we’re diving into a sneaky little stinker in your supplement stash: Vitamin B6 toxicity.

Yep, that “harmless” over-the-counter vitamin that’s supposed to help with mood, sleep, focus, energy turns out it might be quietly frying your nerves faster than your kids on a family holiday.

You’re twitching, foggy, can't sleep, and some wellness influencer is telling you that magnesium will solve everything… but surprise! That magnesium often comes with a bonus: high-dose Vitamin B6.

And here’s the kicker:
It doesn’t hit like tequila it creeps in slowly.
Your legs start going numb. Your balance? Wobbly.
You start Googling, “Do I have MS, or am I just 45?”

Today, we unpack:

• What B6 is actually meant to do for your body
• How and why it ends up hidden in so many supplements, drinks, and powders
• Real stories of nerve damage linked to B6 - including a doctor who ended up unable to walk stairs
• My own journey with weird nerve issues, and how I found B6 lurking in nearly everything I was taking
• What you should be asking your doctor and your pharmacist before you pop another “natural” sleep aid

With over 100 reported cases to the TGA and likely hundreds more undiagnosed, this episode is an urgent call for all women in perimenopause and beyond:
Check your supplements. Know what’s in them. And don’t let your wellness routine quietly wreck your health. Plus we wrap with some practical advice, a little sarcasm (as always), and a cheeky preview of next week’s episode:
“The Great Drying Out” because menopause doesn’t just dry up your ovaries, darling it takes your skin, your lube, and sometimes your will to live with it.

So hit play, have a laugh, maybe panic check your multivitamin and stay hydrated, my beautiful lady gardens. 🌸

Because knowledge is power — and an informed vulva is a very wise vulva.
