so today I want to talk about how to get

more restorative sleep not just more

sleep but the type of sleep that

recharges you by adding vitamin D so

many people wake up tired okay they’re

actually sometimes more tired than when

they went to bed they don’t sleep

through the night

they either can’t get to sleep they

can’t stay asleep or they wake up

feeling tired they have dark circles and

mute eyes puffy eyes bloodshot eyes or

they might have sleep apnea or their

today they need multiple naps because

they haven’t slept at night so we do

know that stress can prevent you from

sleeping but by the Mindi many times is

behind high levels of cortisol high

cortisol can deplete your vitamin D and

low vitamin D can raise your cortisol so

and cortisol is the stress hormone now

you have vitamin D receptors in many

places in the body including the central

nervous system so deep in your brain you

have receptors for vitamin D and one of

the functions of vitamin D among the

many is muscle paralysis during the

delta-wave sleep so when we’re talking

about restorative sleep we’re talking

about the ability to turn off when

you’re sleeping at night ok so you’re

not like laying there half awake so

vitamin D helps to turn off the muscles

so if you have restless leg syndrome for

example that would be a vitamin D

deficiency and sometimes it’s a vitamin

b1 deficiency but when you take vitamin

D it allows your body to get in a full

resting deep delta-wave sleep and that’s

how you recharge now the amount of

vitamin D that people are told to take

and the RDAs are roughly between 600 to

I think 800 IU’s ok that is the amount

determined to prevent rickets but it’s

definitely not the amount to create the

therapeutic effect for many other

conditions like especially if you have

autoimmune conditions like MS or

rheumatoid arthritis or lupus or getting

your deep sleep or getting rid of low

back pain you’re gonna need more of a

therapeutic effect minimally a 20,000

now it might sound like a lot 20,000 I

use but 40,000 I use is only one

milligram so 20,000 I use is really only

a half of a milligram okay so there’s

two main concerns I’m going to talk

about one is a concern that people have

with I don’t want to have a toxic effect

about them indeed I have a specific

video just on that you can watch down

below all the toxic effects of vitamin D

really come from the higher levels of

calcium in the blood it doesn’t have to

do with vitamin D itself it has to do

with what it does to calcium and there’s

so many things you can do to prevent the

high levels of calcium building up in

the blood that I made a special video

for that but many times you’re going to

need a lot more vitamin D to fix your

sleep cycles now one of the reasons it’s

very difficult to get your vitamin D

from food the next reason is that people

are inside and they’re not getting

enough sunlight and there’s one more

reason I want to talk about and it has

to do with the vitamin D receptors being

altered genetically but a mutation is a

sudden change in the genetics that can

happen this lifetime so let’s say you’re

exposed to a certain chemical it can

affect the genes

there are several mutations in the

vitamin D receptor and it’s called

polymorphism so your vitamin D receptor

is having a hard time absorbing vitamin

D so if you take the normal amounts of

vitamin D it doesn’t go in so you just

have to take more now the question is

why are we developing these alterations

in the in the receptor I have some

theories we don’t know exactly but

vitamin D deficiency trends have been

following the introduction of GMO foods

the introduction of glyphosate that is

my theory and why this is happening

because of what this chemical can do to

our receptors but there could be other

reasons all right so here’s what I

recommend if you have a sleep problem

start with 20,000 I’ll use if that

doesn’t handle it go up to 30,000 IU’s

take vitamin k2

take some magnesium and also watch the

video down below on how to overcome any

toxic effects that vitamin D might have

when you’re increasing the amounts

alright guys thanks for watching

hey before you go would you mind putting

a comment down below to tell me what you
