let’s talk about why you’re really deficient in  vitamin d and why is it so hard to get vitamin  

d well number one it’s very difficult  if not impossible to get vitamin d from  

your diet unless you have fatty fish every  single day so this is why we rely on the sun  

well let’s take a look at how much vitamin d  you can get from the sun well 10 minutes of  

the sun can provide a thousand international units  right actually a thousand international units is  

very tiny but you’re only going to get this 1000  i use only if you live close to the equator okay  

and if you’re young the older you are the more  difficult it is to penetrate through the skin  

apparently the skin becomes thicker and if you’re  not obese the more fat you have in your body the  

less penetration sun has to your skin and if you  have more light colored skin the darker the skin  

the more the melanin the less vitamin d gets  through the skin and if it’s in the middle of  

the day and you’re lying down versus standing up  if you’re standing up the sun rays kind of get the  

top of your head but they don’t get the whole body  and of course you have to have a healthy liver  

and enough bile to be able to break down this  fat soluble vitamin and don’t forget you can’t  

have clouds and you can’t have pollution and  you can’t have any genetic defect with your  

vitamin d receptor which by the way is more  common than you might think and also if you  

don’t have any gut problems any inflammation any  past gut problems because inflammation blocks the  

absorption of vitamin d and lastly if there’s  enough microbiome and you have a gallbladder  

the microbes the friendly bacteria in  your gut make a secondary type of bile  

which helps you absorb vitamin d so number one  we need enough bacteria to make secondary bile  

as well as the gall bladder to be able to store  and concentrate this bile to help you break down  

this fat soluble nutrient so this is why so  many people are deficient and it’s actually  

very difficult to get enough vitamin d unless you  don’t have a lot of these issues right here so if
