hey guys I’m back and I recently did a

video on why taking vitamin D can help

you lose weight today we’re going to

talk about the reverse of that your fat

cells actually determine your vitamin D

levels now this is a bit complex so I’m

going to attempt to make it very simple

so hopefully I won’t confuse you more

but I did put the link of the video down

below and also it’ll be at the end of

this video okay so what are we talking

about we’re talking about how much fat

you have on your body and your vitamin D

level so there’s two things you need to

know the fatter you are the less vitamin

D you’re gonna have obese people have

very low vitamin D levels when you lose

weight you actually increase your

vitamin D level okay but why why does

your vitamin D levels go up when you

lose weight in order to understand that

we have to understand a couple

additional things so there’s this

relationship between fat and vitamin D

the less vitamin D you have the fatter

you’re going to become and the less

vitamin D you have can increase weight

as well and we’re talking about

expanding the adipocytes all right so

what’s the missing piece of the puzzle

is this little guy right here which I

rarely talk about insulin or insulin

resistance right that’s insulin and

insulin resistance so if you have too

much insulin over a period of time your

body becomes resistant and now insulin

is dysfunctional and your body starts

making more and more and more of it so

in other words certain functions of

insulin are not working for example your

ability to absorb glucose your ability

to absorb nutrients your ability to

lower blood sugars okay becomes a

problem however certain other functions

of insulin are not affected like

insulins

function to store fat and also prevent

fat burning so you get fatter but you’re

not able to adjust the blood sugars or

absorb the nutrient or absorb the fuel

in your cells so the cells are always

hungry all the time and insulin

resistance is what’s behind diabetes

type 2 also insulin causes the pre

adipocytes which is the pre fat cells to

turn into the adipocyte we

is the actual fat so what you need to

know is this insulin and in some

resistance increase this okay and it

goes the other way too the more fat you

have the more insulin resistance you’re

going to have so we talked about these

two relationships we’ve talked about

this relationship right here but now

there’s another relationship over here

with vitamin D and insulin when you take

vitamin D you actually lower insulin and

you improve insulin resistance why

because vitamin D enhances their

survival of the cells that make insulin

in the pancreas they’re called beta

cells this is why it’s so essential for

a diabetic or a pre-diabetic or someone

that has insulin resistance to make sure

they have enough vitamin D because the

actual transition between insulin

resistance pre-diabetes and diabetes

occurs when you get dysfunction in the

pancreas so if you have enough vitamin D

you may not get that dysfunction in the

beta cells the cells that produce

insulin and you may not develop a

full-blown diabetic State so in summary

the reason why your fat cells determine

your vitamin D levels really has to do

with this relationship right here the

more fat you have the more insulin you

have more insulin resistance you have

when you lose weight and you have less

fat in your body you’re going to have

less insulin lessons and resistance and

you’re gonna have more vitamin D I may

have completely and utterly confused or

even more hopefully I didn’t but check

out this other video on the screen to

show you the relationship between taking

vitamin D and losing weight thanks for
