Did you know that up to 70% of Americans are deficient in a key vitamin that helps to power every cell in our bodies?

Why Vitamin D Matters:

Vitamin D is a necessity for over 1000 gene expressions and impacts every part of your body.

With nearly half of the population deficient and 70% suboptimal, it’s time to delve deeper. In this episode we’ll discuss:

  • Why Vitamin D deficiency is widespread and how it may be silently affecting your health, even if you consider yourself ‘healthy.’
  • How your body synthesizes this crucial vitamin through sunlight and why it’s the best source.
  • Vitamin D’s pivotal role in testosterone production, and why it’s essential for both men and women.

Recognizing Deficiency:

It’s easy to overlook the signs of Vitamin D deficiency, so be sure to be on the lookout for  these subtle symptoms:

  • Frequent illness and lowered immunity.
  • Persistent inflammation and related conditions.
  • Experiencing depression or mood swings.
  • Unexplained fatigue and muscle cramps.
  • Dependency on regular medication.

  • Partnering with a natural health practitioner to test your Vitamin D levels.
  • Aim for a minimum of 2000 IU’s of Vitamin D per day.
