I spoke to the Neurologist regarding my high B12 score but unfortunately all he said was ,“It doesn’t hurt you” . So this point of interest is still unresolved for me because he didn’t/couldn’t even support the statement with any research findings. I also asked my Primary Care doctor but she couldn’t answer either and did not treat it as an Health issue. I hope others in this group can share other findings / their experiences.
Hi @yasmeen, welcome.
According to this article from Livestrong, you can lower B12 levels through diet, switching to more plant-based choices:

I agree that you might wish to consult your doctors in your upcoming appointments before making any changes. Memory issues are more commonly related to B12 deficiency, so maybe there is something else going on in your case. Can you describe more of what led your doctor to order these tests?
