Vitamin K: The Missing Link for Strong Bones and Healthy Arteries
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Vitamin K is often treated as a single nutrient, but its different forms may support very different functions throughout the body. In this episode, Dr. Jen speaks with biochemist and independent researcher Pat Theut about the distinctions between K1, MK-4, and MK-7 and their potential roles in blood clotting, calcium regulation, bone strength, cardiovascular health, brain aging, and athletic performance. They explore how vitamin K works alongside vitamin D and magnesium, why calcium supplementation may not provide the benefits many people expect, and how gut health, fermented foods, medications, and modern farming practices may influence vitamin K status. This conversation offers a deeper look at an overlooked nutrient family and why personalized nutrition matters for long-term health.
Patrick “Pat” Theut is a biochemist, independent researcher, high-performance athletic coach, and founder of Ultra K. After using his scientific background to investigate his own advanced coronary artery disease, Pat became a dedicated advocate for greater awareness of the vitamin K family. His work focuses on translating complex research involving K1, MK-4, MK-7, vitamin D, magnesium, bone health, cardiovascular function, and athletic performance into practical education that helps people make more informed decisions about long-term health.
