The SURPRISING Benefits of VITAMIN D & How a Deficiency in Vitamin D Affects Your Hormones

[@flourishwithflowers_]

I've learned more from KZbin doctors than I've ever learned from any doctor I've had. Thank you Doc!

[@DrTazMD]

Glad to hear KZbin and my content has been helpful for you! Have you found a particular topic or advice I covered that made a big difference in your health journey?

[@flourishwithflowers_]

@@DrTazMD Yes! From the stuff I learned from you and a few herbalist classes that I have taken my periods are much lighter. I still have some work to do but it is a lot better than it was.

👊🏼 One last thing I know Testosterone and Vitamin D levels mirror each other, from my experience seeing doctors over the years they are quick to recommend TRT and not test for Low Vit D.

[@DrTazMD]

You're absolutely right! Vitamin D plays a key role in supporting testosterone levels, and it's often overlooked.

Eating good quality olive oil for years but only ever started taking digestive enzymes a few days ago from your advice in another video. Already seeing my stress belly reduce.

Yes doctor you’re right! My doctor, who was such a caring beautiful person, told me about vitamin D and it’s beneficial to your health. 🥰❤️🙏🏻

[@DrTazMD]

That's wonderful! It’s great when doctors truly care and provide helpful advice. Have you noticed any improvements since focusing on your vitamin D levels?

This was an awesome video! I’ve watched and read my fair share on vitamin D and you pointed out things that I’ve never seen pointed out before. You explained it so well. I’m vitamin D deficient severely. My lowest was a 6. My problem with supplementation is that I often experience side effects. I do have untreated H pylori and suffer with GERD and constipation. Maybe even Candida. The symptoms I get are muscle spasms in my chest and sometimes it feels like I have increased anxiety. Not sure what to do.

Thanks for this video Dr. Taz. I wonder if taking Vitamin D can cause or trigger acne?

[@DrTazMD]

It should not!

😇 *I have a question about Vitamin D, Say for example someone is 200lbs and 50% bodyfat versus 200lbs 15% bodyfat and take 3000 iu Vit D, do they have equal Vit D levels? I notice no calculator has this aspect to estimate.* *I recently got tested and I hope to find this answer I hope my dminder app is accurate.* *Thank you!*

[@DrTazMD]

Great question! Vitamin D levels can be impacted by body fat because fat stores can absorb and reduce circulating vitamin D. So someone with higher body fat may need more vitamin D to reach optimal levels.
