VITAMIN D
This is meant to make you ask WHY and question what you have always been told. I used to be on the OPPOSITE side of this debate but I recently started questioning more and more and doing MY OWN research into this.. which is what I challenge you to do as well!
Please don't just take what I say to do, research, look it up and ask your TRUSTED healthcare providers. The opinions on this are WIDESPREAD even in the holistic community.
But I go back to... why do we assume we are born deficient? Why do we assume breastmilk is MISSING something? My conclusion is that it isn't...
So what might cause you to have a low 1,25D?
• Not enough sun
• Sunscreen
• Gut dysbiosis
•Magnesium deficiency (medications, stress, processed foods all deplete magnesium)
• Not eating enough fat or taking cholesterol
meds. You need fat for hormone D production.
• Glyphosate (pesticide). It interrupts the P450 cytochrome pathway which is a necessary step for D.
So what can you do? Get outside. Fat soluble vitamin rich foods (yes this means animal foods). It's just
not possible without them. Your body needs them for so many reasons. But also animal sources of vitamin A contain preformed Vitamin A and not provitamin A which makes the body do more work to convert it to retinol. Grassfed eggs, butter, beef, liver, grassfed dairy, Salmon, sardines, etc. Magnesium... magnesium lotion, oil, Epsom salt baths, supplementation
-Be super mindful of stress. Are you working at a job that is terribly stressful? This can make a big difference! If you can't change the situation, you must change the way your body is perceiving this stress. Mindset work.
It is NEVER just one thing. ❤️
As always, this is not medical advice. Speak with your healthcare provider before changing anything. This is meant to be educational.
