there are actually seven warning signs

of a vitamin d

deficiency now recently i looked how

many videos i have in vitamin d on

youtube and i found out it was 326

videos so i’m sure that you’ve seen

pretty much all of them but if you

haven’t this video is kind of a summary

of the key warning signs

but what you need to realize is that a

warning sign or a symptom

is not the problem it is an indicator

of a problem that is not

the problem and i’m going to let you in

on a little secret

the medical profession

treats

indicators

okay they treat the indicators and the

treatment lasts for about 24 hours

because if you only treat the indicators

you have to keep treating them over and

over and over again

and the same thing happens with your

garden or in farming if you have

excessive weeds or pests or

insects

you know you might think those are the

problem but they’re really not

they’re an indicator that there’s

something going on with your soil

some condition that is not good

or with the plant that is unhealthy

you know there is actually a great test

and i’m going to do a video on this it’s

called a bricks test and it’s a very

simple inexpensive test that anyone can

do

on their garden plants or fruit to

determine on a certain scale

how healthy or fertile that plant or

fruit is and if that plant or fruit is

above 12

it’s immune from insects insects do not

touch it they don’t eat it they don’t

start to destroy it insects go after

plants that are dying and decaying but

they don’t go after

healthy fruits or

plants which is very fascinating in our

body it’s the same thing you’re as

strong as your weak link if your

system is weakened you’re very

susceptible to pathogens viruses

bacteria etc so it’s really important to

understand and differentiate between

an indicator

and the real problem today we’re going

to talk about the seven indicators of a

vitamin d deficiency which is at the

root cause of many different problems

so let’s start with number one

high blood pressure okay that is one

indicator that your vitamin d is low in

fact it’s a real common one

there’s two things that i find that can

help resolve

hypertension one is vitamin d and number

two is potassium but vitamin d is

intimately involved because it can act

as an ace inhibitor they use ace

inhibitors for

i think it’s 48

of all first line treatments for high

blood pressure okay and vitamin d acts

like an ace inhibitor if you’re

deficient in vitamin d

you’ll get arterial stiffness in fact

there’s a huge correlation between

people having low vitamin d and having

hypertension in fact i’d be really

curious if anyone who had high blood

pressure didn’t have a vitamin d

deficiency okay number two low back pain

this is a really good

indicator that you’re low in vitamin d

especially if you get like achiness in

your lower back in the muscles

and if you have low back achiness at

night when you’re trying to sleep

classic vitamin d deficiency

in fact vitamin d is one of the most

powerful anti-inflammatories natural

anti-inflammatories because it acts

like a steroid it acts like

prednisone but without the side effects

so you could virtually have inflammation

anywhere in your body not just the lower

back all right number three

blood sugars now this is interesting

when you’re low in vitamin d

you’re way more susceptible to getting

insulin resistance and you’re way more

likely for that insulin resistance to

turn into a pre-diabetes and you’re more

likely for the pre-diabetes to turn into

diabetes why because vitamin d has a

very important purpose

of maintaining your beta cells in your

pancreas the cells that

control

insulin

all right number four

virus susceptibility there’s not one

aspect of your immune system that does

not have receptors for vitamin d vitamin

d is the most important vitamin for your

immune system so if you’re low in

vitamin d you’re way more susceptible to

not just getting a viral infection but a

bacterial infection

as well and so vitamin d protects you

against

pathogens and it also

can help to regulate excessive amounts

of inflammation as in the cytokine storm

in your lungs

all right five autoimmune conditions i

don’t think there’s any autoimmune

disease out there that does not have a

severe low vitamin d situation when

you’re low in vitamin d you’re highly

susceptible to having immune problems

as well as developing an autoimmune

condition and

vitamin d is one of the best natural

treatments for autoimmune why

because it’s a powerful

anti-inflammatory and think about what

autoimmune conditions are autoimmune

conditions are a situation where your

body is attacking itself it’s an immune

system that has gone rogue and you

always have inflammation in fact it’s

the inflammation that is causing

most of the symptoms with autoimmune

conditions so if you were to take

higher amounts of vitamin d you know

like maybe 30

40 50 ius of vitamin d every day you’d

probably notice remarkable improvement

in your autoimmune condition

all right number six

daytime sleepiness you can call this

fatigue

you can call this just being tired

huge connection with low vitamin d now i

don’t know if that’s because vitamin d

is intimately involved with your sleep

especially behind sleep apnea and you

just feel tired vitamin d helps the

cells that control the circadian waves

and without enough vitamin d

it can really throw off not just your

circadian waves but just make you feel

lethargic kind of tired all day and

especially if you like have a really

hard time getting up in the morning

we know you need vitamin d and it’s

interesting about vitamin d because

sunlight actually helps increase vitamin

d so i wonder if there’s a connection

with that all right number seven

depression is a really good indicator

that you need vitamin d

now why because vitamin d is needed to

convert

tryptophan which is an amino acid into

serotonin okay

serotonin is a hormone that really helps

your mood and if you’re deficient you

can be very depressed and you need as a

requirement tryptophan

for the creation of serotonin and so

vitamin d is needed for this conversion

and this is another point i’ll bring up

for depression

i don’t think there is a

case of depression that does not have an

underlying vitamin d deficiency now can

you imagine if someone had

any one of these or all of these okay

the indicators are being treated with a

medication

how much confusion that’s going to be

because one medication is going to

create other side effects and you don’t

know what’s causing what but

unfortunately the system is set up to

manage your

indicators and not treat underlying

causes i want to bring up another point

now you could be having

you know being on the sun getting enough

vitamin d

you could be eating foods with some

vitamin d you could be taking the

vitamin d supplement and still have

problems for various reasons which i’m

going to cover right now

number one you can have which is

becoming more common a genetic defect is

called polymorphism if you had some

genetic testing

and you had a vitamin d receptor

mutation

that could be the reason why

taking normal amounts of vitamin d is

not not going to work the other thing is

that the rdas for vitamin d are i think

if i’m not mistaken like 600 ius which

is a joke because that research has been

done primarily on bone formation

but not all the other things that it can

do

so if you’re taking 600 ius thinking

you’re getting enough

on top of

absorption problems if you have gut

inflammatory conditions or past damage

from an antibiotic

you’re not going to absorb vitamin d2

well if you don’t have enough

liver function because your liver is

fatty you’re not going to be able to

produce the bile

to be able to absorb vitamin d not to

mention

the activation of vitamin d because in

our bodies we have inactive vitamin d

and we have active vitamin d you need

the liver and kidney to deactivate that

also if you’re low in zinc or magnesium

you’re not going to absorb vitamin d too

well

also if you’re getting older you need

more vitamin d to create the effect or

if your skin is darker you’re going to

have more melanin that’s going to block

vitamin d so if you’re on the sun it

takes a lot more sun to create more

vitamin d or if you are overweight okay

or

insulin resistance which is also

uh the cause of being overweight that

can block your ability to absorb vitamin

d so you can see there are so many

other reasons why people

might be deficient now make sure if

you’re taking vitamin d you take as a

maintenance dosage 10 000 i use okay if

you think that’s a lot of vitamin d you

should watch my video down below

always take vitamin k2 with vitamin d so

vitamin d helps absorb calcium by 20

times more so here we have all this

calcium in the blood right

so that’s actually performed with

vitamin d but we also need vitamin k2 to

help take that calcium in the blood and

deliver the other half into the bones if

we don’t have enough k2

sometimes that calcium can deposit in

the arteries as well as in your joints

and other tissues

so the ratios

of

vitamin d3 to k2 would be like 10 000

iu’s of d3

to 100 micrograms

of k2

there’s different versions the one that

i recommend is the natural form which is

m7 all right now that you have the

basics on vitamin d

some people are concerned about toxicity

i think you should watch that video next

i put it up right here check it out
