👉In this week’s Nutrivore Newsletter, we talked about how getting enough vitamin B12 lowers risk for depression; ground beef as a fantastic source of vitamin B12 (it has 90% DV per 3-ounces cooked!); how to get enough vitamin B12 on a vegetarian or vegan diet; tips for adapting Nutrivore to your preferred diet and identifying foods to fill nutrient gaps; and I’m shared a simple and delicious recipe for homemade Italian Fennel Beef Sausage.

Because this week’s Free Newsletter talked about the link between vitamin B12 intake and depression risk, I want to share this downloadable handy-dandy 1-page summary of Nutrients for Anxiety and Depression as a perk for my paid subscribers. And, because ground beef is a great source of vitamin B12, I’m sharing one of my favorite ways to enjoy it, a downloadable version of my recipe for Italian Fennel Beef Sausage.
