hey guys today we’re gonna talk about

low cholesterol and vitamin D

deficiencies the connection between the

two I recently had someone ask a

question about vitamin D deficiencies in

upon questioning her I found that she

was also I statin so I wanted to create

a whole video on it because I think it’s

important to know about this in order to

make vitamin D you need cholesterol

cholesterol is essential for the

production of vitamin D so even when you

get Sun for example we’re gonna hit your

skin there’s a chemical combination that

occurs with Sun skin cholesterol and

then the conversion to the liver and

kidney to make vitamin D and by the way

vitamin D one of the functions of

vitamin D is to increase the absorption

of calcium by 20 times in the small

intestine vitamin D also is

anti-inflammatory it’s anti thrombotic

which means it reduces clots in the body

it also helps in vascular protection it

helps your heart it increases HDL it’s

anti-cancer now here’s the problem when

people are taking statins guess what

they’re blocking all the cholesterol in

the body and they’re also lowering the

vitamin D and there’s an interesting

connection between the main symptom of

statins which is aching muscles and the

main symptom of vitamin D deficiency

which is aching muscles so it’s exactly

the same thing so when a person takes

statins they’re gonna block their

vitamin D because they’re not gonna have

enough cholesterol and that’s what

happened with this lady

I think her statins were interviewing

with the cholesterol and then the

vitamin D and that’s why she had

actually had she had really sore muscles

all the time and she didn’t know why so

she was thinking I was gonna take

vitamin D yes you can do that but you

really want to take a look at the source

material that’s actually making vitamin

D another interesting thing is that

cholesterol is needed as the raw

material to make bile and bile is the

detergent that helps you break down fats

and extracts things from the dietary fat

so bile is created from

cholesterol so again if you don’t have

enough cholesterol you can’t make enough

bile and if you don’t have enough file

in the gall bladder

you’re not gonna absorb the vitamin D

and you’re also not going to be able to

break down the cholesterol that comes

from the diet in the future so you

actually need bile to break down

cholesterol but you also need

cholesterol to make bile so there’s a

huge connection back and forth people

that are bile deficient end up getting

kidney stones and those are cholesterol

stones so cholesterol stones are created

from a lack of bile so again you need to

have enough cholesterol to make file but

in this video I just wanted to emphasize

the importance of enough having enough

cholesterol in the body for your vitamin

D levels as well as your bile production
