Vitamin D: Why you need to take it

In this video the surgeons provide an update on the use of vitamin D. They discuss it's role in bone health, the immune system, the cardiovascular system, and even reducing anxiety and depression.

Vitamin D is important for several reasons. It helps the body absorb and use calcium and phosphorus, which are essential for building and maintaining strong bones and teeth. Vitamin D also plays a role in regulating the immune system, supporting brain function, and reducing inflammation in the body. In addition, some studies suggest that adequate levels of vitamin D may help protect against certain diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, and multiple sclerosis.

My autistic son had bone cancer/osteosarcoma 6 years ago (10 years old) . They amputated his entire left leg. He also had almost a year of intense chemo. During all of that, he kept breaking his fragile bones. He had full blown osteoporosis (probably from the amputation itself, and from the chemo) . We ramped up his Vitamin D, and his bones have been strong and haven't broken since! He is also 6 years clear of cancer!

You guys appear trustworthy with good health information. Your videos are of digestible length and not overly deep into medical speak. Your talks are a basic 101 class. Nor are you trying to grift your audience. You guys are a public service. Well done!

As a RN 25 years, I appreciate your content keep posting general public needs this type of information. 💕

Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to provide these videos; it is greatly appreciated! And kudos to all the health care professionals who have been on the front line during this pandemic. We are immensely grateful!

I went to my doc because I was tired, sweating and my hair was falling out in clumps. Turns out I had almost no vitamin D .... took supplements and have been healthy ever since. ( and I spend some time in the sun ) It's amazing what vitamin D can do for you.

Long time fan of the “Talking with Docs” channel. Thanks for another informative and educational video.

[michellelillie]

Love the history lesson. I think most people would be surprised to find out the sunshine alone doesn't provide enough vit D. The details you give are very informative.

[charlenebrissette]

Thank you for what I believe are essential things to know. I appreciate your approach to these videos, they are not dry and boring. And I love the fact that you are a Canadian channel (I’m Canadian too), I wish there was more Canadian content out there.

Your nomenclature de jour was very palatable! I like how you make even the humdrum topics interesting to hear. Always great to see you work together to educate us. Thanks!

Recently found this channel. It’s now my “go to” for health and medical info. Straightforward and easy to understand. Thank you Docs‼️

[michellechininga]

Love how you docs are so care free, teach that to my Doc, he’s too

[JerubbaalgodSlayer]

Your videos are always so informative and your sense of humor is wonderful.
I'm one of those people slow to catch up with technology. You could say I came into the 21st century kicking and screaming. 😉
Sure I had a cellphone but I didn't actually get a smartphone until 2 years ago. While learning how to use the new phone, I discovered YouTube. One day I ran across your videos and started watching. I've had a scope on one knee years ago but that wasn't necessarily the reason I started watching. I've also worked in the medical field and your videos just struck my interest.
Basically I was introduced to you when I discovered YouTube. Your videos were so intriguing and humorous that I ended up binge watching them.
My brother just found out that he may need hip surgery and I thought of you. So I've sent him several links to your videos and told him how great you explain things in such a helpful way. I also mentioned your sense of humor and how you have reenforced the meaning of "Laughter is the best medicine". You take away a lot of fear that people have when approaching a medical problem.
I commend you on your approach to explaining medical issues and I appreciate the humor you add to the videos. You're not only helpful with the information you provide but the humor makes you so relatable.
Congratulations on reaching 100, 000 subscribers, a recognition you well deserve!
I find your videos very entertaining while providing valuable information.
If I ever get to visit Canada again, I'll be sure to look you up. 😉 I'm sure you guys are a hoot in the OR. 😋
Thanks for all you do for this channel and I applaud your continued success! 🤗

Great video guys. But speaking for myself the background music is very distracting. I was put on D3 and B12 years ago by my Doc. Nice to see that confirmed.

[deniseboard]

Love this now updated even more format. Just and fyi when you shows are ending and YouTube puts up a couple of your other shows to watch they are positioned over your faces and your still talking. In the old format they were off to the side at the top.

Ret. Oncology nurse here…
U guys are FABULOUS ‼️

My hand arthritis has seriously diminished since taking D3 supplements. Magnesium has rid me of restless leg syndrome. I’m also using sub-lingual B12, turmeric and now that Circadin is over-the counter, I’m finally getting full and refreshing sleep. I’m 63 and used to be physically formidable but the years and a hard lifestyle had taken their toll. I had gone to the doctor every time I felt poorly since my late 40’s but to no real effect. I know we are cautioned against self-medication but I’ve made myself aware of potential hazards and introduce these supplements one at a time and monitor results. These really have been life-changing. And yes, I’ve heard all the “ well you should do all this by applying proper dietary measures!” Some of us don’t want to spend all our available time assessing macro-nutrients, shopping and preparing this stuff. Laying off the booze and bread has a lot going for it too. So, for me it’s B12, D, and good quality sleep.

I am new to your channel. There are several things I really like and want to comment on: the new intro is really great; appreciate the informative topics; enjoy the expert guests and last but not least really like the doctors and there sense of humor and knowledge and professionalism of the topics presented. Would you consider doing a taping of your professional background and maybe share some personal information. I would also enjoy hearing about diabetes, insulin use and anxiety. Thanks.
