so today we’re going to talk about

vitamin D in calcium it’s actually quite

interesting this symptoms of a vitamin D

deficiency are very similar to a calcium

deficiency so let’s just kind of go

through vitamin D first if you’re

deficient in vitamin D you can have

chronic low back pain you can be

actually at bone pain or pain anywhere

in the body but a lot of times it’s in

the lower back in fact that’s one of the

first symptoms if your calcium deficient

you can also have achy muscles and achy

joints as well next one is muscle

weakness that’s that could be coming

from a vitamin D deficiency as well

muscle spasm okay in a calcium

deficiency you could have muscle cramps

in the cat’s in the feet but not having

enough vitamin D can cause the calcium

deficiency because one of the functions

of vitamin D is to increase the

absorption of calcium by 20 times okay

in the small intestine okay nonspecific

pain so it could be like fibromyalgia or

some weird pain but it’s hard to

identify that maybe migrates and changes

daytime drowsiness so let’s say during

the day you’re driving or you’re just

doing work and you just want to take a

nap but you know you’re not tired okay

it could be your vitamin D levels also

mood changes too

that happens in the winter because

you’re not getting enough Sun high blood

pressure that’s more of a long term

about amedy deficiency because without

vitamin D your arteries get stiff okay

and then low immunity so you can have a

respiratory infection now when you’re

sick maybe your mother or your

grandmother told you to consume cod

liver oil or you might have heard that

before

cod liver oil is loaded with vitamin D

and vitamin A really good for the immune

system so as soon as you start getting

sick you should take that but vitamin D

it’s intimately involved in immune

system and it actually even acts like a

hormone as well okay sweaty head so

let’s say for example you have an infant

that just is sweating excessively in the

head or a small child give them some

vitamin D structural problems and kids

or even babies I’m not sure if you’ve

ever heard of a condition called rickets

the most common cause of rickets is a

vitamin D deficiency but you can also

develop it from not having enough

calcium

so in rickets you have soft bones so you

increase the risk of getting scoliosis

your knees become bowed or knock-kneed

you have a lot of structural problems in

the teeth all sorts of issues with that

okay now in calcium we have aches

tingling in the lips the mouth the feet

in the hands and this can also mimic a

b1 deficiency as well because you can

have peripheral neuropathy so you get

muscle cramps bruising okay you see that

in the lower part of the body in the

extremities like in your in your legs

fatigue which is similar to this right

here throat spasm so you have this

chronic cough or irritation in your your

vocal cords okay then you have tetany

which is a little twitch underneath the

eye or the arm or even any large muscle

can actually twitch because of low

calcium also one point about calcium is

that you need a certain pH for calcium

to be mobilized so if your stomach is

too alkaline not only are you going to

have acid reflux you’re gonna have the

appearance of calcium deficiencies

because you can’t mobilize calcium that

well you can’t absorb calcium and other

minerals that well so if you don’t have

the right pH in your stomach you’re not

going to absorb minerals so sometimes

it’s difficult to know do you need

vitamin D or you or do you need calcium

most people do not need extra calcium

and I don’t recommend you take extra

calcium I recommend you get your calcium

from food unless you have osteopenia or

osteoporosis because a lot of times

people are just taking way too much of

this in a pill form and it’s creating a

problem I would imagine most people have

too much calcium it’s just not mobilized

enough but what they really need is

vitamin D to release this right here

through the body now yes you can get

your calcium from dairy like cheese and

things like that but you can also get it

from leafy greens like kale spinach well

the problem with spinach even though it

has calcium it has oxalates which

actually bind the calcium so you’d have

to either steam it or cook the spinach

then consume it to get the calcium but I

would recommend you get your calcium

from other greens I put a link down

below for more information about a good

sources of calcium now if you have a

problem with your kidney you won’t be

able to absorb calcium that well I

already talked about not having enough

in the diet and also not having enough

stomach acid and you can also have a

parathyroid problem this usually occurs

if you have your thyroid removed because

the parathyroid glands there’s four of

them that are attached to your thyroid

so many times when they take out the

thyroid they remove the parathyroid and

now you have a calcium issue there’s

other reasons but they’re rare EMF

electromagnetic frequency okay it’s

coming from the cellphones and the Wi-Fi

when you’re supposed to EMF it drives a

calcium inside and you have all sorts of

issues so again there’s a lot of

different causes to problems with

calcium and when you have too much

intracellular calcium you also can at

the same time have a calcium deficiency

because the calcium is unavailable to

you it’s locked up inside the cell where

it should not be and that’s why even

doctors will give something called

calcium channel blockers to lower blood

pressure because there’s too much

intracellular calcium

okay glucose so if you’re consuming a

high carbohydrate diet you can have low

calcium from that a lot of people have

insulin resistance which actually then

could increase the insulin and also

create a problem with the calcium and

lastly you can it be dis deficient in

magnesium and again magnesium and

calcium work together without enough

magnesium it’s going to be hard to

balance out the calcium and this comes

from leafy greens

how do you become deficient in vitamin D

well no Sun it’s winter you don’t

consume fats let’s say you’re in a

low-fat diet well guess what you get

your vitamin D from fats fatty fish

liver or egg yolks

but you can also get it from mushrooms

as well now one of the best sources of

vitamin D from a food base is cod liver

oil now if you actually are missing a

gallbladder or have a gallbladder

problem or a fatty liver or a problem

with the liver you won’t be able to

absorb vitamin D as well because you

need the bile produced by the liver and

stored in the gallbladder

to be able to absorb and breakdown and

utilize this right here

so no gall bladder problem with liver

low vitamin D level so you have to take

more to create the same effect or take

it with purified bile salts and also by

the way I have a vitamin D supplement

and the reason why I created one is

because I wanted something that had

vitamin k2 in the right ratios vitamin

k2 works with vitamin d3 to transport

calcium in the right place but I

recently added another ingredient which

is called purified bile salts to

increase dramatically the absorption of

both d3 and k2 so I put a link down

below for more data on there so if you

don’t get enough Sun you’re gonna be low

in vitamin D low fat diet low vitamin D

stress high cortisol can block bottom

indeed gastric bypass vitamin D problem

a colon issue let’s say you have

irritable bowel syndrome or some type of

scar tissue in your colon it’s gonna be

hard to observe vitamin D if you’ve

taken too many sun blockers well you’re

not going to get vitamin D so the

relationship between vitamin D and

calcium is interesting the symptoms

cross over you have to look at the big

picture most the time people just need

more of this and not this alright thanks

for watching so to prevent me from

running at a Content I have a new survey
