Vitamins and Minerals for Women’s Health: Dr Deepali Kapahi at Breathe Phuket

A wonderful day of connection, learning and inspiration, surrounded by an incredible community of women.

Empowering women through the power of nutrition

Dr Deepali Kapahi, Founder and Managing Director of Live More Lifestyle Clinic, was delighted to share her insights on the vital role of micronutrients in women’s health at Breathe Phuket on 7 November 2026.

Her talk explored why vitamins and minerals are essential to the body’s everyday functions, supporting energy production, immune health, hormonal balance, cognitive function and overall wellbeing.1,2,3

Women navigate different physiological changes throughout their lives, and their nutritional needs evolve along the way. Iron deficiency particularly affects women before menopause4, and folic acid is recommended for anyone planning or able to become pregnant.5 Understanding these needs and recognising the importance of adequate micronutrient intake is an important step towards taking a more proactive approach to long-term health and vitality.

At Live More, we believe that true wellness begins with understanding your body, addressing nutritional needs and making informed choices that support healthier, more vibrant living.

The presentation

Dr Deepali’s slides from the day. To go further, read what a micronutrient profile tells you, or which IV drip is right for you.

  1. Vitamins and Minerals: the small nutrients that power your whole body. Presented by Dr Deepali Kapahi Jones, Founder, Live More Lifestyle Clinic, Phuket, 7 November 2026.
  2. Why vitamins and minerals matter: 13 essential vitamins, plus key minerals, that your body cannot make enough of on its own, and their roles in energy, immunity, bones and muscles, brain and mood, skin and hair, and heart and nerves.
  3. What deficiency can do to your body: common signs of low vitamin D, vitamin B12, iron, magnesium, zinc and vitamin C, which are often subtle and easy to blame on stress, age or a busy life.
  4. How to tell if you have an imbalance: measure, don’t guess. A micronutrient lab test and an Oligoscan heavy metal analysis.
  5. That’s great, but now what? From what micronutrients are, to what deficiencies can do, how to measure them and how to restore and maintain the right balance.
  6. Food first: what to eat. Food sources of vitamin C, vitamin D, B12, iron, magnesium, zinc and calcium, and eating the rainbow.
  7. When food isn’t enough: absorption, and how oral supplements for daily maintenance compare with IV therapy as a targeted top-up.
  8. In summary, why personalised beats one-size-fits-all: test, consult, personalise and re-test.
  9. How Live More can help you: IV therapies, diagnostics, personalised supplements and doctor-led care.
