Podcasts about vitamin d2

Vitamin D toxicity is very rare and typically involves too much calcium in the blood. Even Dr. Bruce Hollis, a pioneer in vitamin D research, has never personally seen a case of vitamin D toxicity. To develop vitamin D toxicity, you'd have to consume hundreds of thousands of IUs of vitamin D3 for months! Vitamin D needs magnesium to function properly in the body. The more vitamin D you take, the more magnesium you need. Magnesium prevents vascular calcification, the main problem associated with vitamin D toxicity. The vitamin D receptor is dependent on zinc. Like magnesium, your zinc requirements increase when you take vitamin D. Zinc deficiency symptoms include an altered sense of taste and smell, acne, flaky skin, and lowered testosterone. When you increase your vitamin D intake, you'll need more vitamin K2. Vitamin K2 helps prevent the buildup of calcium and also helps to drive calcium into the bones and teeth. The active form of vitamin A, called retinol, is also an important cofactor for vitamin D. Vitamin A receptors sometimes bind with vitamin D receptors as a complex. Vitamin A also helps keep calcium out of your arteries. Always take vitamin D3, not D2. Vitamin D2 is less potent and is typically synthetic. Avoid synthetic vitamin D3 supplements and supplements with fillers such as maltodextrin or glucose syrup. Leafy greens, chocolate, certain nuts, and pumpkin seeds are the best food sources of magnesium. When choosing a supplement, look for magnesium glycinate. The best food sources of zinc are red meat and shellfish. If you take a zinc supplement, consume it in a blend with other trace minerals. For every 10,000 IUs of vitamin D3 that you take, you'll need 100 mcg of vitamin K2. MK7 is the best form. Vitamin K2 is found in high-quality grass-fed butter, kimchi, sauerkraut, grass-fed beef, and eggs. It's best to get your vitamin A from food. Egg yolks, liver, and cod liver oil are the best sources. DATA: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3627603/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles...

Vitamin D is the most important vitamin! It's a fat-soluble vitamin involved in 10% of our genetics. Vitamin D won't work unless you have enough magnesium, the second most important nutrient. Magnesium is involved with 300 different enzymes and plays a vital role in regulating excess calcium. Magnesium glycinate supplements have the best absorption rate. The more vitamin D you take, the more magnesium you'll need. Some negative side effects associated with vitamin D, such as nausea, heart palpitations, muscle cramps, and headaches, are actually symptoms of a magnesium deficiency. Don't take vitamin D without the important cofactor, vitamin K2. Vitamin D helps you absorb calcium, but you need vitamin K2 to drive it into the bones and teeth to keep it out of the soft tissues. Vitamin K2 is best for calcium buildup. Take 100 mcg of vitamin K2 for every 10,000 IUs of vitamin D3. Zinc is another important cofactor that helps you convert cholesterol into vitamin D. If you're taking 10,000 IU of vitamin D, you should also take 20 mg of zinc. One of the biggest vitamin D mistakes is not taking enough! You need at least 6,000 to 10,000 IU of vitamin D3 every day. Vitamin D2 does not work like vitamin D3. The vitamin D detected in the blood is not the active form. This means you could have normal blood levels of vitamin D but still have vitamin D deficiency. Statins and steroids can inhibit your ability to make vitamin D and its ability to work in your body. The best time to get vitamin D from the sun is between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. DATA: https://ajcn.nutrition.org/article/S0... http://www.vitamindprotocol.com/vitam...

Was man teilweise über Vitamin D hört, klingt fast zu schön, um wahr zu sein. Andererseits deuten hunderte verschiedener Forschungsarbeiten darauf hin, dass Vitamin D zur Vorbeugung einer Reihe von Krankheiten beitragen kann – darunter Osteoporose, Depression, Autoimmun- und Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen. Ärzte empfehlen es. Gesundheits- und Fitnesspodcaster sprechen darüber. Vielleicht geht Dir sogar Deine Lieblingstante damit auf die Nerven. Bei all dem Hype ist die Frage berechtigt: "Solltest Du Vitamin D einnehmen?" Hier sind die Antworten – und die neuesten Fakten über ein faszinierendes Vitamin, das ein wahrer Verwandlungskünstler ist. ____________ *WERBUNG: KoRoDrogerie.de: 5% Ermäßigung auf alles mit dem Code „FMM“ beim Checkout. ____________ Ressourcen zur Folge: Literatur: Ratgeber Nahrungsergänzung – Mark Maslow (kostenlos auf MarathonFitness) Blut: Die Geheimnisse unseres flüssigen Organs* – Ulrich Strunz (Heyne) Vitamin D* – Uwe Gröber, Michael F.

Welcome to the Humans of Nutrition Podcast brought to you by Registered Nutritionists Anna Wheeler and Prof Danielle McCarthy. In this podcast Anna and Danielle chat to Professor Sue Lanham-New, Professor of Human Nutrition and Head of Nutritional Science Department at University of Surrey. Sue's research focuses on Vitamin D – she is passionate about helping people living with osteoporosis and happily volunteers her time and expert knowledge to osteoporosis charities.  A true “Human of Nutrition”! Anna and Danielle step back in time, returning to the University of Surrey where they studied, became friends and first met Sue in the lecture theatre! Fast forward to April 2024, and Anna and Danielle are back at University of Surrey, delivering a careers workshop to final year nutrition students in the morning, and catching up with Sue in the afternoon! We hear about the ground-breaking research on Vitamin D that Sue leads on.  At the start of this journey, the UK did not have an RNI for Vitamin D due to the assumption that we had enough sunlight in summer months to generate, store and utilise through the winter months.  It's clear that the evidence around Vitamin D moved on, thanks in no small part to Sue and her colleagues, leading to the establishment of an RNI for Vitamin D in 2016. Sue is generous in giving credit to her team, informing us about ongoing research projects such as the differing Vitamin D requirements in ethnic groups, Vitamin D / iron interaction, and investigating Vitamin D supplementation in the management of acute respiratory tract infections.  She is honest about the difficulties securing funding for research projects but demonstrates how resilience and determination pays off. Here's the science bit – do you know: ·      the difference between Vitamin D2 and Vitamin D3? ·      their different metabolic pathways? ·       which type is preferred for supplementation? ·       your micrograms from your international units? ·       what the RNI is? ·       what the safe upper limit is? ·       why, on food labelling, the NRV is set at half the RNI? ·       how fruit and vegetables impact bone health? (Fun question - Are tomatoes high in Vitamin D? Yes – if you ‘gene edit' them!) Listen in to find out all of the above and more! Sue is offered a ‘magic wand' – something she'd like to see change in the next 10 years. Her response is simple – for Vitamin D deficiency to be eradicated.  Yet public health messaging around Vitamin D supplementation is not getting through – how can health professionals get this message across?  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - As nutrition professionals working in multiple contexts, we want to use our diverse experience to help organisations achieve their nutrition and health goals by providing them with the expertise they need, when they need it. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Get in touch to find out more about our company, Nutrition Talent and how we could work together.

In this episode, we are sharing highlights from our webinar, ‘Your opportunity to ask a qualified nutritional therapist about the Overcoming MS diet' with Sam Josephs. Sam is a qualified nutritional therapist and Overcoming MS facilitator. In this episode, she discusses fasting patterns, tips for Overcoming MS-friendly meals on a budget and how to prevent weight loss. Keep reading for the key episode takeaways. Topics and Timestamps: 02:40 Can fasting help you reduce inflammation? 05:58 How much calcium is safe for you with high doses of vitamin D3? 08:11 Comparing benefits: flax oil supplements vs Omega-3 rich foods. 09:40 Can you have coconut or meat in the absence of Overcoming MS-friendly options? 11:25 Vitamin D2 vs D3 in fortified foods. 13:40 The link between eating dairy and osteoporosis. 16:48 The different types of saturated fats. 19:11 Can you ever eat fast food or processed foods? 22:12 Can you eat egg yolk or meat occasionally? 25:59 How much vitamin K should you have to prevent calcium buildup? 27:16 Is there a limit to the number of egg whites you can eat? 28:18 Can you eat lean meat on the Overcoming MS diet when trying to put on weight? 30:12 What minerals can you take to help with spasticity and tight muscles? 21:46 Tips for cooking Overcoming MS-friendly meals with a busy schedule. 36:48 Snacks to help you prevent weight loss on the Overcoming MS diet. 40:23 Alternatives to flax oil for Omega-3 supplementation 41:59 The benefits of a variety of whole grains for your gut bacteria 44:20 Budget tips for cooking Overcoming MS-friendly meals Selected Key Takeaways: Highly processed foods have negative health implications. 20:11 “Highly processed foods sometimes irritate the gut lining, which can affect our friendly bacterial populations. We're only just starting to understand the detrimental effects of some of these unknown food chemicals, not to mention high levels of salt, and high levels of sugar, all of which on a metabolic level are not good for us. Salt can cause excretion of calcium, which we're trying to retain. The sugars can cause metabolic issues, things like becoming overweight and obese.” A variety of whole grains is beneficial for the gut. 42:35 “It's important not to rely too heavily on one grain or another. But to keep that variety because each grain has a different nutritional profile and will be broken down differently in the body. The more variety you have with your grains, the more you're encouraging healthy bacteria which indirectly calms MS activity so think about different rice: what about wild rice [or] the red rice? What about buckwheat? Have you tried quinoa yet?” There are multiple intermittent fasting methods to suit your lifestyle. 03:05 “Some people do the five-two diet, which involves eating normally five days of the week, and then just eating dinner on two days of the week, consuming much lower calories. You could fast overnight for 16 hours and then eat your food in a much smaller window of eight hours. It could be done as a water fast where you don't eat anything at all, and just drink water one day a week or a couple of days a month.” Want to learn more about living a full and happy life with multiple sclerosis? Sign up to our newsletter to hear our latest tips.

Using the right supplements has the potential to help you manage your thyroid symptoms and support your thyroid. Using the wrong supplements can do the exact opposite. In fact, using the right supplements is even worse because not only will they not help you feel better, but you're also wasting money. This video outlines some of the WORST supplements and WORST formulations that thyroid patients can take. If you are looking to improve thyroid function and better manage your symptoms then you'll want to avoid these supplements and ingredients: 1. Magnesium oxide. 2. Zinc oxide. 3. High-dose iodine. 4. Cyanocobalamin. 5. Vitamin D2. Instead of using these formulations, you will want to opt for magnesium glycinate, zinc glycinate, low-dose iodine, methylcobalamin, and vitamin D3. #thyroid #hypothyroidism #thyroidsupport #thyroidawareness #hashimoto #supplements Download my free thyroid resources here (including hypothyroid symptoms checklist, the complete list of thyroid lab tests + optimal ranges, foods you should avoid if you have thyroid disease, and more): https://www.restartmed.com/start-here/ Recommended thyroid supplements to enhance thyroid function: - Supplements that everyone with hypothyroidism needs: https://bit.ly/3tekPej - Supplement bundle to help reverse Hashimoto's: https://bit.ly/3gSY9eJ - Supplements for those without a thyroid and for those after RAI: https://bit.ly/3tb36nZ - Supplements for active hyperthyroidism: https://bit.ly/3t70yHo See ALL of my specialized supplements including protein powders, thyroid supplements, and weight loss products here: https://www.restartmed.com/shop/ Want more from my blog?

Today, we're going to talk about vitamin D deficiency and some things you've probably never heard about vitamin D. Vitamin D deficiency can cause: • A compromised immune system • Inflammation • Sleep issues • Digestive problems Causes of vitamin D deficiency: • Gut inflammation • Missing gallbladder • Thicker skin • Darker skin • Obesity • Diabetes • Insulin resistance • Location (living further from the equator) • Problems with certain genes • Infection • Fatty liver • Smoking • Sugar • Stress • Statins • Low-fat diets • Pollution • Omega-6 fatty acids It's almost impossible to get vitamin D from your diet, so you need to take certain measures to avoid becoming vitamin D deficient. Important things you may have never learned about vitamin D: 1. Most side effects that occur after taking vitamin D could be caused by a magnesium deficiency. 2. Infrequent large doses of vitamin D may be better than small daily doses. 3. Farm-raised fish have four times less vitamin D than wild-caught fish, and grain-fed animals have less vitamin D than grass-fed animals. Chickens and pigs that roam outside have more vitamin D than those confined indoors. 4. Vitamin D3 is the third biggest factor that improves overall health. 5. Vitamin D2 is very different from vitamin D3 and may inhibit the absorption of vitamin D3 and worsen MS. It's also not effective to help with lupus or to decrease mortality, whereas vitamin D3 may be effective in these situations. 6. Ten minutes of skin exposure to the sun only provides about 400 IU of vitamin D. 7. Most vitamin D3 supplements in Europe (and possibly around the world) contain corn syrup.

Ein Standpunkt von Hans-Jörg Müllenmeister.Nein, der Zytokinsturm ist nicht der Sturm im Wasserglas – aber dazu später mehr. Zunächst einmal: Verzweifelte Covid19-Patienten, selbst Herzgeschädigte und besorgte Prophylaktiker aufgepasst. Hier geht es nicht um eine verquere Ideologie, nicht um das Nachbeten fragwürdiger, hochbezahlter Studien, nicht um das Festhalten an Pfründen. Es geht um ignorierte Fakten, die uns Mutter Natur bietet, nämlich schlicht um ein heilsames, perfektes Natur-Geschenk für unseren Körper. Wir sollten das lebensnotwendige Vitamin D (Calcediol) faktenunterlegt besser kennen lernen und es zum eigenen Wohle unserer Gesundheit nutzen. Diese Naturgabe und Erkenntnis einfach zu ignorieren, wäre eher frevelhaft, hilfeverweigernd, wenn nicht sogar dumm. Indes verbreitet der Heilige Stuhl der Pharma-Götter seine eigene Wahrheit zum „Spritz-Wohl“ seiner Glaubensgemeinschaft. Da kann schnell ein vielseitiges Vitaminnaturtalent zum Abtrünnigen avancieren.Vitamin D-Multitalent: das kostenlose Sonnengeschenk der Gesundheit Vitamin D heißt so, weil es eben kein Vitamin ist. Vielmehr gehört es zu den Steroidhormonen – so wie die Sexualhormone und das Kortison. Überhaupt ranken sich einige gravierende Irrtümer um das Vitamin D. Während unser Körper selbst keine Vitamine bilden kann, verleiht sonnenbeschienene Haut unserem Körper eine Art Vorstufe zu Vitamin D: das Cholecalciferol, und das ist eben ein Hormon. Aus diesem „Rohstoff“ gewinnt unsere körpereigene Fabrik, die Leber, über einige Synthesestufen das Vitamin D3. Bei geschädigter Leber und Niere kann es zu einem deutlichen Vitaminmangel kommen, selbst wenn reichhaltig Vitamin D direkt über die Nahrung aufgenommen wird. Übrigens ist Vitamin D2 vorwiegend in pflanzlichen Lebensmitteln, wie Avocado aber auch in Pilzen zu finden. Vitamin D3 liegt besonders in tierischen Produkten (Fettfisch) vor. Als D3-Präparat wird es aus Lanolin der Schafwolle extrahiert; neuerdings gibt es auch vegane D3-Präparate, gewonnen aus einer bestimmten Flechtenart. D3 bindet sich besser an die Transportmoleküle im Blut als das Vitamin D2.... hier weiterlesen: https://apolut.net/multitalent-vitamin-d-stoppt-den-zytokinsturm-im-kampf-des-immunsystems-gegen-covid-19-von-hans-joerg-muellenmeister+++Apolut ist auch als kostenlose App für Android- und iOS-Geräte verfügbar!

It'll get you started and keep you organized. That's totally free and it's over on the podcast homepage. XX A new study adds to the idea that Vitamin D might help with type 1 diabetes in kids. These researchers look at young people ages 10-21 and found that a supplement of Vitamin D2 may improve insulin sensitivity and slow the increase of A1C for those newly diagnosed. This was over the course of a year. Very small study, fewer than 40 kids and teens, and all of them diagnosed for three months or less. A lot more to learn here.. but the study is in the Journal of the Endocrine Society. https://www.healio.com/news/endocrinology/20220221/vitamin-d2-supplement-may-slow-progression-of-newonset-type-1-diabetes-in-children XX This is more business news.. but something to keep an eye on.. RosVivo has signed with Eli Lilly for commercial development. Rosvivo has a drug said to be a game changer to treat diabetes and obesity. Lilly will now review and move it forward. The drug is said to restore the function of beta cells that secrete insulin, the cause of diabetes, and at the same time lowering insulin resistance. Animal studies only but we're keeping an eye on this one. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/rosvivo-therapeutics-inc-signed-material-125200372.html XX Provention Bio has resubmitted the Biologics License Application (BLA) for teplizumab. This is the drug that shows a delay of clinical type 1 diabetes for three years. The FDA said “no” last year.. but it did so in a way that left the door open, so Provention has done what's been asked and is now resubmitting. The CEO says quote - “We continue to proceed with a sense of urgency, recognizing that significant unmet need exists for patients and their caregivers.” https://www.empr.com/home/news/drugs-in-the-pipeline/provention-bio-resubmits-bla-for-teplizumab-to-delay-type-1-diabetes/ XX The link between high blood pressure and diabetes seems to come down to a small protein cell. An international team shows this glucagon like peptide called GLP-1 pairs up the body's control of blood sugar and blood pressure. Doctors have known for a long time that high blood pressure and diabetes go together, but this is the first time the reason for that has been found in the body. GLP-1 is released from the wall of the gut after eating. It also stimulates a small sensory organ in the neck. These researchers say GLP-1 is just the start for more study. https://scitechdaily.com/long-standing-enigma-finally-cracked-link-discovered-between-high-blood-pressure-and-diabetes/ XX More support for bariatric surgery as a treatment for type 2 diabetes. A study found that adults with obesity who had weight loss surgery and achieved “substantial weight loss” before contracting COVID reduced their risk for severe infection by 60% compared to those who didn't have surgery. The study was conducted by researchers at the Cleveland Clinic. Previous studies have found that in obese patients with type 2, bariatric surgery sends it into remission more than 75% percent of cases. https://blogs.bcm.edu/2022/02/21/bariatric-surgery-helps-with-diabetes-leads-to-better-covid-outcomes-study-finds/ XX Throughout the COVID 19 pandemic, endocrinologists have had the highest rates of… telehealth adoption. This study released by Doximity – we've spoken to them on the show – looked at telehealth claims from January 2020 to June of 2021. As expected, younger physicians used telehealth more than their older counterparts. And they say the research shows that telehealth can successfully help manage diabetes – and that it even lowers A1C in people with type 2. They don't say why.. but I'd think it's because it's easier to get a visit in remotely. Interestingly they also did a top five for metro areas with the highest telehealth adoption. They were: Boston, Baltimore, Charlotte, Philly and San Francisco. https://mhealthintelligence.com/news/telehealth-adoption-highest-among-diabetes-gi-care-providers XX The World Health Organization is looking for people living with diabetes for an international focus group. They say they hope to foster solidarity and policy action between people living with diabetes, while acknowledging and highlighting differences in treatment and management needs between different types of diabetes. The focus group will be held March 9 and 10 live and online. We've linked up the survey you need to fill out to be considered. https://extranet.who.int/dataformv3/index.php/257838?lang=en XX An ambitious project to make a movie about type 1 diabetes in a dystopian world is moving along via kickstarter. Noah Averbach-Katz is an actor and writer and has lived with type 1 for more than 20 years. He says too often a disabled person is reduced to a plot point - a problem that gives the abled hero an opportunity to save the day. He wants to tell a story that captures the fears, trials, and experiences of a Type 1 diabetic. The Star Trek community is rallying behind this – Averback Katz and his wife Mary Wiseman are both part of the Star Trek Discovery series. The kickstarter goes until March 24th. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/noahak/type-1 XX As we hinted last week, Omnipod has a fun crossover with Nintendo. The very popular Switch game, Animal Crossing now has a new diabetes-themed designed by Insulet. It's known as Omnipod Bay, you add it to the game with a special code. Omnipod Bay features booths from selected diabetes charities as well outfits, diabetes supply bags and diabetes-themed areas and activities. I asked – no little podcast headphone as of this time! The game add-on comes just two weeks after Insulet's Omnipod 5, was cleared by the FDA. XX Our long format episode this week is with the Lauren Bongiorno, a diabetes health coach who is a terrific example of why it's not a great idea to aim for perfect with diabetes. She shares how her A1C was basically perfect during college but that she… was miserable. And next week.. all about Eversense, the 6 month CGM. Listen wherever you get your podcasts That's In the News for this week.. if you like it, please share it! Thanks for joining me! See you back here soon.

https://www.biobalancehealth.com/healthcast-blog/ Vitamin D is not just a vitamin, as most people think, it is a HORMONE called Cholecalciferol that is required for general health, thick bones, for making muscle and your immune system, your brain function, and for protecting you from diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Vitamin D also acts to assist your body in absorbing calcium and zinc from your food and supplements.  Without Vitamin D3 these vital minerals go through your body without absorption, and you just excrete them without being able to use them. The vitamin-hormone Vitamin D comes in several forms.  The form D2 comes in natural food sources such as salmon, swordfish, egg yolk and fortified foods such as milk, orange juice and other milk products like yogurt.  However, Vitamin D2 is not a potent form of Vitamin D. Vitamin D is also produced by your skin in the melanin when you go out on a sunny day, however you would have to be out daily for most of the sunny hours, without sunscreen, at a latitude like where Phoenix and Destin Florida is or further south to absorb enough Vitamin D from the sun. Your skin absorption in the 21st century is usually minimal since medical science has promoted the use of sunscreen every day all day long which blocks our absorption of Vitamin D. Your skin tone also alters how much Vitamin D you absorb from the sun.  if you have very light skin and burn easily it takes less time in the sun to absorb the same amount of vitamin D than someone who has dark skin.  It is a given that most people who do not live in the southern US and have dark skin are not getting enough Vitamin D from the sun even if they work outdoors all day long, so they must take a supplement orally or in a shot of VitaminD3. The recommended oral dose is 5,000 MIUs of Vitamin D3 every day to receive enough Vitamin D in their body. For all people with all skin types, you should be out in the sun for an hour before you cover yourself in sunscreen.  The sun gives you vitamin D, but also has other benefits. Remember no matter what skin type you have, the tanner you get the less vitamin D3 you absorb.  It is a protective mechanism to prevent overdosing with D from the sun for those people who have dark skin and live in the sun around the equator. What does it really do? For one thing Vitamin D is essential to your immune system.  If you want to be immune to viruses and bacteria as well as cancer you must have a normal blood level of vitamin D.  The accepted level is 30 from the US government but it is preferable to have a blood level of 40-100 for optimal health. The other jobs of Vitamin D include Building muscle and bone, normalizing blood pressure and Type 2 Diabetes, preventing heart disease, stroke, and dementia. If you want to stay healthy throughout your life you should take oral Vitamin D3 5,000 miu per day.   The Actions of Vitamin D3: We have already listed the important job of supporting your immune system to prevent infection and cancer.  The addition Vitamin D supports Muscle and bone.  Without Vitamin D, children get a disease of soft bones that bow their legs and prevent normal height, called Ricketts. It was common in the early industrial age when children were kept inside factories all day long to work instead of playing outside.  Adults we must have Vitamin D to keep our muscles strong, and our bones thick.  Muscle and bone are in a state of homeostasis which means they are growing and breaking down all of the time.  If breakdown is more rapid than growth the bones become thin and are apt to break.  The other necessary elements to keep bone and muscle strong are Calcium, Magnesium Vitamin C, and Vitamin K2. For optimal skeletal muscle (which includes the heart) you have to have adequate vitamin D levels in your blood. For example, patients in a recent study increased their muscle fiber size by taking 4,000 IUs of Vitamin D3 a day. They also made more Type II muscle fibers which are responsible for rising from a chair or lifting things over your head. Type two muscles are located in your hips, back and shoulders.  Another study showed the just 1,000 IUs of Vitamin D3 increased muscle strength by 25%, without any other changes in diet or activity.  Muscle training and exercise are also important, but you won't get the results from just taking Vitamin D, or exercise alone, that you would if you take Vitamin D3 + Exercise + Testosterone. If you are over 50 and don't exercise while you take Vitamin D and replace Testosterone with pellets. Type 2 Diabetes also affects 50% of our population, primarily from eating too many carbs, without exercising, but low vitamin D contributes to the development of diabetes and obesity as well. All people who are Insulin Resistant, who have Type 2 Diabetes or Prediabetes should be taking 5,000 MIU of vitamin D3 a day.   Summary: The easiest and cheapest way to prevent heart disease, stroke, osteoporosis, cancer, type 2 diabetes, and dementia, among others because it improves your immune system too. If you are Latino, Black, Italian, Israeli, or Greek, in, fact if your genetics are from any country around the Mediterranean, or just have dark skin, you must take Vitamin D3 to stay healthy! It is over the counter and relatively cheap.  You should take Vitamin D3 in oil-capsule form for good absorption. Remember….Taking Vitamin D3 doesn't replace going outside for sun absorption.  It is in addition to being in the sun! Sunscreen prevents Vitamin D3 absorption.   Vitamin D may cut heart disease risk in dark-skinned adults A study to be presented at the Experimental Biology 2021 virtual meeting found that taking vitamin D supplements may help people with dark skin, including African Americans, to reduce their risk for heart disease.”Promoting adequate vitamin D status in young, otherwise healthy adults may improve nitric oxide availability and blood vessel function, and thereby serve as a prophylactic to reduce risk of future development of hypertension or cardiovascular disease," says researcher Tony Wolf.  Full Story: Medical Dialogues (4/27) 

Vitamin D is often described as the SUNSHINE VITAMIN as it's produced when skin is exposed to sunshine, or rather, the ultraviolet B (UV-B) radiation that the sun emits – produces Vitamin D3. You may get small amounts of Vitamin D from your diet – it's thought about 10% of your requirement may come from food. Vitamin D3 form is available from foods e.g. oily fish, butter, eggs. Vitamin D2 found in plant-based foods e.g. mushrooms, fortified soya milk and almond milk, however D2 needs to be converted to D3 by the body and Vitamin D3 converted to its active form (Calcitriol) by the liver and kidneys. We'll talk about: Why an optimal Vitamin D status is important for runners How do you test for Vitamin D and what is an optimal Vitamin D status? Practical suggestions to help you optimise Vitamin D status.   https://sunny-trailblazer-4067.ck.page/22871f11a5 (BOOK YOUR PLACE) on our next FREE TRAINING: Learn all about our Healthy Woman Healthy Runner Method.

SHOW NOTES  05:34)  Why is Vitamin D important for optimal health and especially for runners?  Vitamin D is important for everyone and especially for runners. Vitamin D has wide ranging functions across the whole body. Vitamin D Receptors (VDRs), which mediate the biological functions of Vitamin D are found across the body in the cells of most organs and tissues e.g. brain, heart, skin, intestines, pancreas, bone, kidneys, prostate and breast, which demonstrates just how widely Vitamin D is utilised. ·      Runners need to protect their BONES – we want to retain a healthy bone mineral density and protect against fractures E.g. stress fractures or fractures as a result of accidents. Vitamin D has a key role to play in the absorption and utilisation of calcium for strong bones ·      MUSCLE function is very important for runners – Vit D has a role in muscle repair and remodelling which will help protect against injury and support performance and recovery. ·      To keep up with training schedules and competition throughout the year it's important to minimise/prevent COLDS/FLU/UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT INFECTIONS which are a common complaint of runners during the colder months. It's thought that Vitamin D supports the immune system by inhibiting viral replication and microbial entry into lungs. ·      Vitamin D supports the CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM for heart structure and function – remember the heart is a large muscle!! Vitamin D promotes vasodilation – vital for blood flow and the delivery of extra oxygen and nutrients to the muscles during exercise.  (09:52) Is there is any evidence to suggest that Vitamin D improves running performance? ·      Low vitamin D status could negatively impact the health and training efficiency of athletes – for all the reasons we've mentioned earlier ·      There doesn't seem to be clear evidence to support maintaining Vitamin D level at “supranormal levels” i.e. >100–125 nmol/L, in order to achieve an improved athletic performance – it appears that optimal status of 75-100nmol/L is recommended for optimal health and good sporting performance  (11:45)  As runners spend a lot of time outdoors you'd imagine that their Vitamin D status would be good – is this the case? Evidence suggests that trends in Vitamin D deficiency in global populations are similar in athletic populations. That's because of the risk factors and barriers for a low Vitamin D status. We know that optimal sun exposure is key for Vitamin D production so location and lifestyle will play a factor:  ·      Living in the Northern hemisphere –...

Our topic today is mushrooms, and whether mushrooms are a missing element in the older athletes’ arsenal of performance, recovery, and longevity. Helping Glen and I to better understand mushrooms is Jeff Chilton, an expert in the study of historical uses and impact of medicinal mushrooms, and who is also the Founder of Nammex, the very first company to supply medicinal mushroom extracts to the nutritional supplement industry. Who is Jeff Chilton? Jeff Chilton studied Ethno-mycology at the University of Washington in the late sixties and in 1973 began a 10 year career as a large scale commercial mushroom grower. Jeff is the co-author of The Mushroom Cultivator, published in 1983. In 1989 Jeff established Nammex, the first company to supply medicinal mushroom extracts to the Nutritional Supplement industry. In 1997 he organized the first organic certification workshop for mushroom production in China. Jeff is a founding member of the World Society for Mushroom Biology and Mushroom Products in 1994 and a Member of the International Society for Mushroom Science. Nammex extracts are used by many supplement and food companies and are noted for their high quality based on scientific analysis of the active compounds.

Feeling sluggish, depressed, irritable, your vitamin D levels are probably low. This episode is every thing you need to know about vitamin D. What is normal numbers for vitamin D levels. What is the difference between Vitamin D2 and Vitamin D3. This Diamond nutrient will help you shine in more ways than one.

On this week's episode of The SavvyCast, Jamie is joined by Suzanne Bailey to discuss living with two chronic autoimmune conditions, fibromyalgia and lupus. Suzanne is living a full and productive life despite having both lupus and fibromyalgia. She shares her journey to diagnosis, treatment, and ultimately management of both these conditions. Suzanne primarily manages her Lupus mainly with diet and exercise and vitamins. Since she also has Fibromyalgia, exercise and vitamins are VITAL to managing both chronic diseases.  Her Lupus attacks my nerves, lungs, and joints. Pain in her feet can be an issue, so she mainly does body strengthening three days a week, mostly low impact. This consists of everything from TRX to weight training to HITT classes. Consistency helps maintain flexibility and strength. Regular massages and stretching sessions are very helpful, as well as Epsom salt baths after work outs. Suzanne also adds walking, rowing, recumbent biking, and elliptical training in for extra cardio. Suzanne takes several vitamins to help manage her condition. She does not take many perscription medications and instead opts to take vitamins. Most of the vitamins Suzanne takes can be found on Amazon, although she does take prescription Vitamin D2, which can be requested from your general practitioner. The vitamins Suzanne takes daily are Rheumate, which is a B vitamin. Vitamin D2, 50,000 once a week, and Vitamin D3, 2,000 daily. She also takes zinc and Turmeric to help with inflammation. Suzanne has taken one prescription to help manage her neuropathy. She takes 2mg of Naltrexone at night which helps the neuropathy that is widespread, over 80% or my body. After ten years of managing with only diet and exercise, Suzanne also recently added 100 mg of Hydroxychloroquine to combat an ongoing flare. If she experiences a severe flare, she will also take  a steroid pack.  Lupus manifests differently in everyone, so it is important to work closely with your doctor for the best protocol to manage your illness. Communication and honesty is key to finding the best treatment. However, Suzanne wants everyone to know that these two conditions don't define or really limit her from living a full and active life.

Vitamin D is a nutrient that your body produces when you are exposed to sunlight. It is also found in food, including fish and eggs. You might be wondering if you need Vitamin D in your diet because of the COVD (Climate Change). There have been many cases where people were deficient due to lack of exposure to the sun. In this blog post we will talk about what Vitamin D does for your body, how much do you need, and if it's possible to take too much?Weigh-InI am down a smidge to 234.5. I've removed cereal from my house (as I can't eat "just one bowl") and I'm slowly eating less meat after looking into a more plant-based lifestyle.What is All This Talk About Vitamin D?Vitamin D DeficiencyMuch of this information is from this website In the United States, 41.6% of the total population is deficient. The symptoms of a Vitamin D deficiency are not always as easy to identify, especially if you're out in the sun. Many people live healthy lives without experiencing problems from this condition, but for some, it could mean loss of joint function or issues with muscle growth and recovery time.The most well-known symptom of vitamin D deficiency is rickets, a bone disease common in children in developing countries. Rickets has been mostly eliminated from Western countries because of the fortification of some foods with vitamin D.Deficiency is also linked to osteoporosis, reduced mineral density, and increased risk of falls and fractures in older adults.What's more, studies indicate that people with low vitamin D levels have a much greater risk of heart disease, diabetes (types 1 and 2), cancer, dementia, and autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis.Finally, vitamin D deficiency is linked to a reduced life expectancy.Two Types of Vitamin DTwo main dietary forms existVitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). Found in some animal foods, like fatty fish and egg yolks.Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol). Found in some plants, mushrooms, and yeasts.Of the two, D3 (cholecalciferol) seems to be almost twice as effective at increasing blood levels of vitamin D as D2.Benefits of Vitamin DReduced risk of osteoporosis, falls, and fractures.Better strength. Vitamin D can increase physical strength in both upper and lower limbs.Cancer prevention. Vitamin D may help prevent cancer. One study noted that 1,100 IU per day — alongside calcium — reduced cancer risk by 60%Depression management. Studies show that vitamin D may ease symptoms in people with clinical depression.Reduced risk of type 1 diabetes.Improved mortality. Some studies suggest that vitamin D reduces people's risk of dying during the study periods, indicating that it may help you live longerHowever, many of these results are preliminary. According to a recent review, more evidence is necessary to confirm many of these benefitsHow Much Should I take?This seems to be up to debate.400 IU (10 mcg): infants, 0–12 months600 IU (15 mcg): children and adults, 1–70 years old800 IU (20 mcg): older adults and pregnant or breastfeeding womenAlthough adequacy is measured at 20 ng/ml, many health experts believe that people should aim for blood levels higher than 30 ng/ml for optimal health and disease preventionAccording to the U.S. National Academy of Medicine, the safe upper limit is 4,000 IU. This is interesting as many manufacturers are selling pills there the dose is 5000 IU.It May Need Other Nutrients to WorkSome researchers claim that fat-soluble vitamins work together and that it's crucial to optimize your vitamin A and K intake while supplementing with vitamin D3.This is especially important for vitamin K2, another fat-soluble vitamin that most people don't get enough of.Magnesium — another important mineral often lacking in the modern diet — may also be important for vitamin D function.What Happens if You Take Too Much?It is a myth that it is easy to overdose on vitamin D.Vitamin D toxicity is very rare and only happens if you take very high doses for extended periods.The main symptoms of toxicity include confusion, lack of concentration, drowsiness, depression, vomiting, abdominal pain, constipation, and high blood pressureWhere to Buy Vitamin D?In looking for sources, I found Amazon Elements which is Amazon now selling supplements. A bottle of Vitam D3 is 10.99 for 180 capsules if 5000IU vs Nature Made at 14.72 for the same bottle.Please remember, I'm not a doctor or a trainer. Please consult your logical doctor before taking supplements.

Recently, when I mention vitamin D to patients, they've begun asking, "which D vitamin?"  There is another D vitamin: D2. It's plant-based and not nearly as potent. In fact, it's less than 30% as potent as vitamin D3.For more information, contact us at 859-721-1414 or myhealth@prevmedheartrisk.com.

You need to be asleep to apply them to repair. 36:40 B Vitamins play a huge role in our sleep. 37:40 B vitamins come from gut bugs, not your food. 42:30 The 8 B vitamins are created as an 8-pack in specific ratios. 46:00 B5 paralyzes us for sleep. 52:20 Children who develop autism have an abnormal immune system and microbiome and are deficient in acetylcholine and endocannabinoids. 55:50 Normal sleep is needed to improve the functioning of an autistic child. 01:11:13 If you have autoimmune disease, each immunization risks flaring the condition. 01:23:49 Acetylcholine is responsible for our ability to concentrate during the day and responsible for our ability to enter sleep, stay in sleep and get paralyzed in sleep. 01:27:40 Acetylcholine is a major player in the parasympathetic nervous system/rest and digest. 01:30:02 Improper heartrate variability means that your sympathetic nervous system is in overdrive. 01:32:36 Acetylcholine, not only acts like a neurotransmitter, it acts as an anti-inflammatory hormone. 01:35:08 Some scientist believe that ADD, as well as autism, is a disease of acetylcholine deficiency. 01:38:00 Your microbiome makes your serotonin, using vitamin D and pyridoxine. 01:41:10 Vitamin D2 is not the same as vitamin D3. 01:44:00 A vitamin D blood level of between 60 – 80 is optimal for a sleep disordered person. 01:44:50 The accurate vitamin D testing method is the LCMS. 01:54:37 Vitamin D works directly upon the pituitary. 01:55:40 1,25-OH is directly linked to the repair of DNA damage resulting from UVB light hitting the skin. 01:56:30 Each hormone in your body is designed to have a unique affect on each organ that has that receptor. 01:59:00 Dr. Gominak has a workbook on her website for you to use.

Download my free thyroid resources here (including hypothyroid symptoms checklist, the complete list of thyroid lab tests + optimal ranges, foods you should avoid if you have thyroid disease, and more): https://www.restartmed.com/start-here/ Do you have Hashimoto's thyroiditis? If so, then this video is definitely for you! In this video, I am going to walk you through at least 5 different therapies and natural treatments that you can use to treat Hashimoto's which address BOTH the immune component and the thyroid component of Hashimoto's thyroiditis. If you don't know already, Hashimoto's thyroiditis is an autoimmune disease of the thyroid gland which results in a condition called hypothyroidism or sluggish thyroid or low thyroid hormone (all names for the same thing). What people probably don't realize is that because Hashimoto's in an AUTOIMMUNE disease there is both a thyroid component and an autoimmune component that must be addressed during treatment. This is important because this is NOT how most doctors think about this condition. Most doctors will wait until your thyroid is low enough that they can put you straight on thyroid medication instead of addressing the immune part of this. But there are things that YOU can do at home (natural remedies for Hashimoto's) that can actually help. I'm going to go over these natural remedies for Hashimoto's that DON'T require a physician or a prescription to use: #1. Hashimoto's diet. Diet is probably one of the quickest and easiest ways to improve both your thyroid and your immune function. There are many ways to change your diet but I recommend starting out with a gluten-free and dairy-free diet. If you've used this and it doesn't work well then you can transition to the elimination diet. If that doesn't work then you can transition into the autoimmune paleo diet or the AIP diet. This gives you 3 basic diet plans to follow if you have Hashimoto's and they can ALL work. #2. Pine bark extract for Hashimoto's or pycnogenol for Hashimotos. Also known as pycnogenol, this plant extract is incredibly helpful at lowering inflammation and at improving thyroid function. It works by helping to reduce inflammation and may actually help reduce thyroid antibodies. #3. Using Vitamin D3 for Hashimoto's. Up to 2 billion people in the world are Vitamin D3 deficient and Vitamin D3 plays a MAJOR role in regulating your immune system. If you aren't already using vitamin D then you should consider it. Just make sure that you use Vitamin D3 and not Vitamin D2. #4. Using CBD for Hashimoto's. CBD is a new kid on the block and it works by helping balance your immune system. CBD is just as effective as certain prescription medications which means it is quite powerful. It is also available over the counter which makes it a quick and easy addition for Hashimoto's patients. #5. Using DHEA for Hashimoto's. Lastly, you also want to consider using DHEA which is an androgen. Women (and men) with Hashimoto's almost always have low androgens and low testosterone levels which contribute to their autoimmune disease. By taking DHEA (or testosterone) you can actually improve your immune status.

Learn some basic truths about vitamin D.With so much data about vitamin D available, it’s easy to get confused. Some of that information is conflicting. Registered dietician Heidi Moretti says vitamin D helps your body create hormones. She breaks down the most important things you should know about vitamin D. The recommended daily allowance (RDA) for vitamin D is 600 IU (international units). 5000 IU is comparable to a grain of rice. Spending a little time in the sun gives you 10,000 to 25,000 IU of vitamin D. Vitamin D changes disease risk because it affects how your genes work. It dampens genetic expression of autoimmune disorders and cancer. Best nutritional sources of vitamin D are wild salmon and mushrooms, but it takes a lot of food to reach the amounts available from some sunshine.  Supplements can enhance the vitamin D you get from the sun and food. Vitamin D3 comes from lanolin and is an effective supplement. Vitamin D2 is derived from mushrooms and is less effective but vegan. Sun exposure is a concern. If your shadow is long when you stand in the sun, you’re not getting enough of the right kind of UV rays to create vitamin D. Stick to supplements if you don’t have much melanin in your skin.

Summary: On this episode, we got served! Endocrinologist, Dr. Pauline Camacho, current president of AACE and Professor of Medicine at Loyola University Chicago makes it rain clinical pearls as she schools us on the use of calcium, Vitamin D, bisphosphonate therapy and drug holidays. This is a must listen for anyone treating osteoporosis. Make sure to check out the new 2016 AACE guidelines, which include infographics for patients and their easy to use algorithm. Clinical Pearls: Vitamin D Vitamin D for postmenopausal osteoporosis prevention (women ≥ 50 yo) Optimum Vit D level between 30-50 ng/ml recommend Check PTH if Vit D is very low If secondary hyperparathyroidism then treat until PTH normalizes Usual dose is Vit D2 or D3 1000 to 2000 IU daily Weekly dosing may be required for loading Vit D3 preferred if malabsorption (e.g. post gastric bypass) Vitamin D2 or D3 50,000 IU dosed monthly or biweekly is probably safe despite trials suggesting increased falls2-3 Calcium Calcium recommended total daily intake through diet +/- supplements postmenopausal women 1200 mg daily Men 1000 mg Calcium citrate has better absorption, especially in the elderly or those on PPI Osteoporosis and drug therapy AACE’s four criteria for diagnosis osteoporosis T-score –2.5 or below in the lumbar spine, femoral neck, total, and/or 33% (one-third) radius Low-trauma spine or hip fracture (regardless of BMD) Osteopenia or low bone mass (T-score between –1 and –2.5) with a fragility fracture of proximal humerus, pelvis, or possibly distal forearm Low bone mass or osteopenia and high FRAX® fracture probability based on country-speci c thresholds Bisphosphonate therapy Treat for 5-10 years with oral or 3-6 years with IV bisphosphonates High fracture risk: elderly patients or those with hx of fracture then consider IV agents 1st line (zoledronic acid, denosumab, teriparatide) Therapy is successful if: Stable bone mineral density (BMD) Increasing BMD Diminishing levels bone turnover markers (e.g. N-terminal and C-terminal cross-linked telopeptides)4 Therapy is a failure if: Significant or progressive loss of BMD (using a reliable machine) Fracture occurs Drug holiday may last several years, but ends if: Fracture occurs BMD declines significantly Rising bone turnover markers (telopeptides) After drug holiday the clock resets. Meaning patient may start another full treatment course with bisphosphonate, denosumab or teriparatide After a hip fracture Check Vit D level and replete Start bisphosphonate once Vit D level corrected (usually takes 2-3 months) Routine testing of BMD is recommended for men >70 yo If you can get it covered! Disclosures: Dr. Camacho did not report any relevant financial disclosures. Learning objectives: By the end of this podcast listeners will be able to: Make recommendations for daily intake of vitamin D, recognize appropriate levels, and treat secondary hyperparathyroidism Ensure adequate calcium intake through diet and/or supplementation and counsel patients on risks and benefits Select appropriate bone preserving therapy, treatment course, and learn to monitor for treatment failure Identify appropriate timing of drug holidays and reinitiation of drug therapy  Links from the show: Hot off the press! 2016 AACE Guidelines for postmenopausal osteoporosis https://www.aace.com/files/final-appendix-sept-7.pdf Monthly High-Dose Vitamin D Treatment for the Prevention of Functional Decline RCT JAMA Int Med Jan 2016 Annual High-Dose Oral Vitamin D and Falls and Fractures in Older Women JAMA 2010 Eastell R et al.

I'm back with another #FridayReview and today I want to share with you a fantastic book on Functional Medicine, as well as clear up some misconceptions on a popular vitamin! Functional Medicine focuses on more than just the symptoms you are experiencing when you suffer from a chronic health condition - It instead looks at the underlying root cause keeping you from becoming well again... Today's book talks about this healing process in more depth! We all know vitamin D is crucial for our overall health & wellbeing, and you'll see many of your processed foods fortified with Vitamin D2, but is that really the best form for you to utilize and absorb?  And lastly, I'm doing my final recap on the most popular alarm clock that actually simulates the sun rising to wake you up - no more air raid sirens startling you out of bed!

Basics Vitamin D is made by your skin. Lots of foods are fortified with Vit D. Vitamin D2 is plant-based.  Plants make vitamin D then you eat them and absorb it.  This is also the type of Vitamin D that is added to other foods. Vitamin D3 is animal-based.  You absorb very little Vitamin D from animal food sources.  This is the type that your skin makes. Review The membranes of your cells are made up of cholesterol.  It allows them to stay fluid and flexible, and it allows diffusion of some nutrients. UV-B rays come down from the sun and travel through the top layer of your skin. Those rays interact with the cholesterol in the skin cells and cause it to break away and it starts a changing process as that loose molecule makes it way to the bloodstream.  *Think the Hulk transformation*.  By the time it reaches the bloodstream, it has become D3 (~ 12 hour long process). Vit D3 = Calcitriol (tri = 3) Vit D2 = Calcidiol (di = 2) The news will tell you that Vit D is needed to prevent the Winter Blues or that it's good for your bones. Deeper Stuff Vitamin D has 2 jobs to help with your bone health.  It tells your intestines to make calcium-carrying and phosphorus-carrying proteins, so when you eat foods that contain calcium or phosphorus, the cells of the small intestines will have the ability to transport these molecules into the bloodstream.  Then in your periosteum (the membrane that covers your bones), Vitamin D works with parathyroid hormone to tell the periosteum cells to make the same kinds of proteins to get the calcium out of the blood and into the bone-building process. Vitamin D also has an important role in your immune system.  It plays a part in cell differentiation.  It helps an immune system cell know which type of cell it needs to specialize as (B-cell, T-cell, macrophage) to do the optimum job  based on the type of invader that has entered your body. While sun exposure stimulates Vit D production, there has to be a balance to avoid skin aging and risks of cancer.  Taking Vit D supplements can be a safer alternative.

In today's episode, I discuss the origins of the word "animal," whose root word means "soul" - something humans are in danger of losing if we keep denying non-human animals theirs. Thanks to today's sponsors: 22DaysNutrition.com, AnimaLearn.org, & FieldRoast.com. I also share the origins of other animal-related words (beast, creature, brute, brute and savage) and answer your questions and calls: one being from a student whose science teacher challenges her about animal issues in the middle of class and another being from a woman who wants advice for discarding her wool- and lambskin-lined boots. Finally, there's a question about the difference between Vitamin D2 and D3 - and yet another about what I feed my cats (for the umpteenth time: meat!).

Reclamation Artist Kristin Posehn will discuss her new book Reclamation, about her public artwork of the same name, with Frieze contributing editor and art critic Jonathan Griffin. Reclamation is both a novella and an exhibition catalogue. The book tells the story of an ephemeral public artwork through the experiences of a fictional narrator. The artwork Reclamation was an elaborate reproduction of a ruin: a one-to-one scale replica of the last remaining facade from the ghost town of Metropolis, USA. The installation took place in the newly constructed city of Almere, the Netherlands. At this event, Kristin Posehn and Jonathan Griffin will be in conversation about the book and artwork, architecture, photography, public vs private space, and the peculiar story of the ghost town of Metropolis. Kristin Posehn is an artist based in Los Angeles. She has produced numerous commissioned works, including installations for Museum De Paviljoens, Netherlands, the Bonnefanten Museum, NL, Aspex, UK, and Netwerk Center for Contemporary Art, Belgium. She received a Ph.D. in Fine Art from the Winchester School of Art, Winchester, UK, and did a two year research and production residency at the Jan van Eyck Academie, Maastricht, NL. In 2010, she was a Visiting Tutor at Oxford University, UK. Reclamation is her first book. Jonathan Griffin is a writer, art critic and editor. Born and raised in London, he now lives in Los Angeles. He is a Contributing Editor of Frieze magazine, and has also written for publications including Art Review, Texte Zur Kunst, Flash Art and The Art Newspaper. He has contributed essays for a number of books, including a monograph on British painter Ross Chisholm, published by JRP Ringier, and Vitamin P2, published by Phaidon. Forthcoming books include a monograph on Hernan Bas, published by Rizzoli, and Vitamin D2, published by Phaidon. Photo of Posehn by Aaron Farley. THIS EVENT WAS RECORDED LIVE AT SKYLIGHT BOOKS MARCH 22, 2013.
