Is Your Vitamin D Deficiency Making You Sick? | Dr. Mark Hyman

[@muse3241]

You forgot to mention the importance of cofactor MAGNESIUM with Vitamin d 3 plus K2! So important to remember to take both together at high doses.

[@ABDULRAHMAN-pu2lo]

You are one of my very best doctors ❤

[@joesmith942]

After 2 months of Vitamin D, sleep issues have simply disappeared. A few days ago it just hit me that I simply don't wake up in the middle of the night anymore.

[@zmartz50]

You are so right on the mark I started following you during the pandemic and not surprised by the great following that you have Dr Hyman we appreciate you ❤

[@bhvnraju8493]

Dr mark Hyman, you are one of the very few doctors across board illustrating the importance of vitamin D which is useful to everyone on globe to avoid many health issues, Appreciate your medical insights. Thank a lot 🙏

As I am the leading Vitamin D Deficiency Channel - This video was an excellent refresher for me!

[@dgeorgaras4444]

When you get the show notes up, I will be interested to look up the studies.

With the obesity crisis, what formula would be used to accurately measure one's blood level? Per Kilo, Pound etc etc. Per 10 lb for that matter. This a critically important factor for accurate results.

THANK YOU AGAIN DEAR DR HYMAN🙏🏻

A few days ago, I received the results of my blood work that included, for the first time in my 76 years, the level of vitamin D that required additional paperwork from my doctor to do the analysis. It is 55ng/ml. I left the grey skies of Chicago in 1999, for the sunny skies of Buenos Aires. I burn easily with white skin because of vitiligo from age 22. I walk daily for sun and exercise to keep my immune system strong. I stopped using toxic sunscreen a long time ago. It doesn't take long for my skin to turn red. The only vitamin D made in Argentina is a gel capsule that contains 250mcg/10,000UI. I take two per day. Thanks for your great video.

How much vit d do you recommend daily? Thanks.

[@jenniferwiebusch9688]

Wait, i need to hear about this genetic stuff. My doctor's refuse to test it because "it's expensive" and "not the standard of care." I was taking 30k iu's and still watching my level drop to 18. I'm in Cleveland but can afford the functional medicine institute or function health (which doesn't include generic testing anyway).

[@recoveringsoul755]

Tell them you're willing to pay out of pocket for the test. Sounds like an HMO insurance doesn't cover it. I wanted a test when I was pregnant and they told me I wasn't old enough. (But I would be old enough 3 weeks after the birth, so close enough). What they failed to tell me was that I could have paid for that test myself. So instead I was a nervous wreck for the rest of the pregnancy. Sometimes they are penny-wise and pound-foolish

Excellent health vid on Vit D and it’s importance.

[@sueanncrawford6217]

You didn’t mention K2, isn’t that important to take with D3?

[@diamond-anniefergus8916]

I agree I was thinking exactly the same thing. Magnesium, potassium, zinc and sodium are also critical as they all work together❤

[@qhride1]

Yes magnesium is just as important

[@taniahummelgard2290]

Yes, actually D3, K2 with MK7, magnesium and zinc! Should all be taken together

My vitamin D levels have sat at 20 for years and I realize I need to take a supplement, however, every time I do I get severe body aches. Is there a reason for that and how can I fix it.

[@jfdc8432]

My HYPER Vitamin D almost killed me. It was 235, and I almost died. It’s important to monitor your levels in both directions. Too much or too little can be lethal.

[@andrewmcelvein6149]

What were the symptoms that almost killed you at a level of 235 ?

[@HomesteadAce]

Its only "as important" to monitor if the two had equal probabilities; meaning you are way more likely to be deficient than overdose. Without calculating probability, you might as well freak out that too much food could kill you or dying during a marathon!

[@jfdc8432]

@@HomesteadAce it’s always important to monitor your Vitamin D annually. So you know you’re taking the correct dose, because your needs do fluctuate with your sun exposure. Always monitor.

[@muse3241]

@jfdc8432 how much vitamin d were you taking?

[@stephenhodges1048]

How long did it take for your levels to return to normal?

[@andreamacdonald7510]

Does drinking alcohol make vit D levels go down?

[@recoveringsoul755]

Great question

[@hashtagtnt]

What about balance issues/dizziness etc. Feeling like your like your reactions are slower etc. Neck movement popping and snapping sounds with movements up and down etc are those also part of low D ? I know i am insufficient on D and suffering with those symptoms. On the D train for 2 weeks now feeling of low energy and lower back pain seems to be gone but neck popping and balance seems to be lingering. How long it takes to restore to normal functions ?

[@recoveringsoul755]

I think the neck popping is just calcium deposits. I have that too. But when I regularly do neck exercises it goes away. Just tip your head to the left and right , towards each shoulder. Then forward chin to chest, and back look at the sky. Do that a few times to loosen up. Then do neck circles, clockwise and counter clockwise. Those noises are breaking up the calcium deposits. If you do that every day the popping should go away and not build up again.

[@susiemartin3144]

2000, to 5000 what a day? It’s confusing as in the uk we often use different terminology! Is 4000iu what Mark is talking about? Any advice?

They tell us to stay out of the sun between 10am -2pm!! Depopulation!!😂😩

[@barrie-lynn]

I need a good vitamin D supplement. My test just came back and my level is 19.0 ng/ml. I’ve had Hypothyroidism most of my life.

[@htaythan2582]

Bio Tech brand is the one I am taking.

[@htaythan2582]

Life Extension has D3+K+Sea Iodine. It seems that it is good for people with hypothyroidism.

[@recoveringsoul755]

I had D3 supplements but then a doctor told me to take calcium. But I couldn't find calcium by itself, they all included D3

[@MichelleWatkins2]

How high is too high? My D level is 115. Lab range is 30-80.

[@theantiqueactionfigure]

I'd be curious to see a vitamin D study on the homeless. They're in the sun way more than the general population and probably don't suppliment. They're diets are horrible too.

[@dgeorgaras4444]

I was thinking a study of postal letter carriers. They must be the healthiest people.

[@recoveringsoul755]

I'm living in my car now for a few months. It's hard to eat healthy without a refrigerator😅 and proper kitchen. Lots of processed food, canned stuff. One of our community had a stroke yesterday. He's only a few months older than me. I know I'm deficient in D and have supplements. But I need to get lab work done so I stopped so they can get a good baseline when they test. I heard a couple of people died out here. Lot of the men drink. And smoke. That won't help anything and it's expensive.
