Vitamin D isn’t just another supplement/nutrient/vitamin/hormone—it’s a game-changer for your health, hormones, and metabolism. In this episode, we break down why the sun is your best source of Vitamin D, the most bioavailable food options, and the real difference between the RDA and what your body actually needs.
We dive into:

🦠 Its critical role in immune function and fighting inflammation
🧠 The connection between Vitamin D, mood, and brain health
💀 Why it’s essential for bone and joint strength
🍽️ How diet, skin tone, and location impact your ability to absorb Vitamin D
Plus, we tackle the myths around Vitamin D toxicity, explain why darker skin tones require more sun exposure, and explore how deficiency is linked to metabolic disorders like diabetes and obesity.
If you’re looking to optimize your health, boost performance, and avoid the pitfalls of Vitamin D deficiency, this episode is a must-listen!
