I got extremely Ill whilst on low carb high fat diet. Have been supplementing with VD for 8 years (doctor prescribed), it got so bad, I couldn’t eat. Turns out, I had/have hypercalcemia which could have been fatal. Every time I tried to have the VD, I would get worst, so I stopped taking it and started improving. Fast forward 4 years later and I am still healing… SO thankful for this video!

It sounds like you (and your doc!) might also benefit from looking into your leptin status! But glad to hear that coming off of the supplement has helped! Likely many other circadian practices would (or might already be) helping, but always happy to chat more in my online community!

Such a good point. I begin to think that the vitamin d3 on a lab is just a marker of how much sun we get. The sun is the important thing. Not the level of the vitamin d3 we might supplement.

@carriebwellness 2 ай бұрын

Exactly. When you test VD3 as a lab marker, it's literally one of a dozen different metabolites we'd need to test in order to get the complete picture. And most of them you can't even test bc they're not in the blood; they're in your tissues.

You make a lot of sense 👍👍

I started to understand years ago that supplemental vitamin D is not the end all and can in fact be harmful. Dr. Morley Robbin’s opened my mind to this. Your video today really broke it down and I’m thankful for you and your brain! 🧠 you’ve taught me so much ❤

Again your gut protocol helped me so much. I’m still learning. On the topic of Winter and d3. What about the different haplotypes? If you have a couples haplotype like my father. Does he has to take vitamin d3 in the winter when he lives on the northern hemisphere?

@carriebwellness 2 ай бұрын

With a coupled haplotype, your access to Vit D would be through light. So if one feels the need to increase VD levels in the winter, my preferred way would be through smart use of the Sperti Vitamin D lamp!

Thank you for this Carrie! What about if you live in Florida and you really don't experience winter, maybe cooler months but still warm. Should people in Florida try to get sun every day to get Vitamin D year round?

@carriebwellness 2 ай бұрын

Wherever you live is perfectly adapted to what you need. Just utilize your local environment and what it provides as much as you possibly can and you'll have everything you need. If that means it's always sunny, then always get sun (without burning, of course :)

What do the steroid hormones need for hormone synthesis? And what causes these receptors to shut down? Is it really mostly a matter of optimizing sun and darkness despite all the other modern day factors that take us away from our biology? Thank you for this information!

@carriebwellness 2 ай бұрын

The building blocks of the steroids themselves are absolutely needed, so that's where we have to eat a nutrient-rich diet, get appropriate minerals, etc. Otherwise, these things are getting produced in a response to signals, and the key signal for the hormone pathway is changing light frequencies.

Interesting! What if your VD receptors aren‘t working properly?

Is it OK to catch up with a supplement - I had vitamin level 6 on their testing - after living in the tropics of southeast Asia 15 years - very strange

As mentioned, Vitamin D testing is nowhere NEAR the whole picture of your "Vitamin D status."

What does this mean for kids who are headed into cold and flu season? I know my kids aren't getting enough D from the sun from our location or eating enough D through diet, though we do prioritize sunrise, minimize junk light and regularly consume fatty fish, liver and mushrooms. In today's world...does a fall/winter dose of D3 make sense for kids, for maintenance. All homework is on computer for my kids, unfortunately, so after soccer...they spend hours on screen when the sun is down. Should we focus on maintaining both D and melatonin in fall/winter or just melatonin and darkness when it comes to our kids' cold/flu season health?

I think the better answer to this is to try and implement as many of the recommended circadian/quantum practices with your kids as you can and improve that. I know it's hard with children, but as their parent, do as much as you can to get them to wear blue blockers when the sun isn't out, use screen filters on their devices, and generally mitigate blue light as much as you're able in their current situation. And build up all of your ability, based on your current situation at any given time, to implement the other things-light breaks, driving with windows down, spending weekends outside, etc. etc. Max out those things.

Wow. Makes me wonder how inaccurate my son's blood lab test for his vitamin D was (neurologist ordered it because his seizure medicine can reduce vitamin D as a side effect)
