Today, I’m going to tell you about some of the symptoms that you probably didn’t know were related to vitamin D deficiency. The most common signs that you’re vitamin D deficient include lower back pain, depression, high blood pressure, inflammation, and autoimmune diseases.

Blood tests only show you the inactive form of vitamin D and don't tell you about vitamin D at the cellular level. Instead, look out for some of the surprising signs of vitamin D deficiency.

1. Head sweating
This is typically seen in infants but can also be seen in teenagers and adults.

2. Sweating more at night
If you’re vitamin D deficient, you may sweat excessively, even if the room is cool. You might also wake up with a moist pillow.

3. Mood swings
Vitamin D controls mood regulation, so if you’re deficient, you could experience a range of moods in a short time.

4. Procrastinating
If you constantly put things off for later, you could be vitamin D deficient!

5. Panic attacks
Low vitamin D levels can cause panic attacks, so try taking high doses of vitamin D3 if you’re experiencing them.

6. Achiness
Achiness in the pelvis, lower back, hips, and upper legs is often a sign of low vitamin D.

7. Loss of muscle strength
If you have low vitamin D, you won’t have enough calcium in the muscles. Calcium allows the muscle to contract and is also involved in muscle production.

8. Stiffness
Stiffness related to vitamin D deficiency usually occurs in the knees and fingers. This is related to inflammation, weakened cartilage, and weakened collagen.

9. Chronic fatigue
Vitamin D supports your mitochondria, the energy factories of the cell. Without enough vitamin D, you can’t make energy.

10. Slowed down thinking
Vitamin D deficiency can cause diminished cognitive function.

11. Difficulty feeling satisfied
If you’re vitamin D deficient, you might not feel satisfied after eating, and you’ll have a tendency to overeat.

Consider taking around 10,000 to 20,000 IU of vitamin D3 per day, along with the cofactors magnesium, vitamin K2, zinc, and vitamin B6.

Thanks for watching! I hope this increases your awareness about some of the more bizarre vitamin D deficiency symptoms. I’ll see you in the next video.

I wanted to add one more thing about mixed reviews on vitamin D. For example, why do some people, (most) do well on high dose vitamin D, but not everyone. I should probably do a video on this but here's the data: magnesium is the vital cofactor for vitamin D and the more vitamin D you take, the more magnesium is required so IF a person omits magnesium and takes lots of D3, they could experience magnesium deficiency symptoms: lack of sleep, muscle tightness, restlessness, leg/foot cramps, panic attacks, anxiety, etc. Interesting. The same thing goes with magnesium, if you are low on D3, and omit D3 and take lots of magnesium you could end up with bone pain, achy low back, low immune system, sleep problems, etc.

This doctor needs to be cloned and put into every medical school to re-educate doctors with correct information about health. He is brilliant, and a gem of a person to anyone with common sense about how to improve their health in a sustained way. I just love learning from his simple to understand videos ... I respect this man immensely 🙏🙏🙏

I was just diagnosed with a severe vitamin D deficiency. In watching this video, I am now sure this has been a years long deficiency. Thank God I got fed up with my doctor not listening to me or testing my vitamin and mineral levels like I had been asking him to do for years and found a new doctor. Hopefully, we can fix all the damage that has been done to my body from this. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge and expertise with us.

Six months of having all the symptoms and then some. I went to my Primary Doctor several times, test after test and twenty thousand dollars in medical bills-lost seven months of work. I kept looking up all my symptoms. Low vitamin D kept coming up. I called my Doctor and asked him “have you checked my Vitamin D?” He said “no” checked it and I was so low it was dangerously low! 50 thousand units for weeks, I was back to normal. I was beyond angry with his incompetents. I literally thought I was dying. In reality, I was slowly dying ! Thank you for speaking on this Doctor Berg! ❤

[joyplummeridge]

I an attest to this. Brain fog, SERIOUS fatigue, pain, all incorrectly diagnosed as "depression" Thankfully a new doctor at my surgery suspected I had thiroid issues due to the fatigue and ordered a whole ramp of blood tests. The thiroid came back as normal, but the vitamin D levels were so low they could not be measured. She gave me a prescription for vitamin D tablets, it took the best part of last year to recover. My takeaway from the situation is, how many people who are diagnosed with depression which does not improve with treatment, are actually suffering from a serious vitamin deficiency? But they are labelled for life with mental illness. All I would ask any medical professional watching this is, if you have a patient come to you showing odd symptoms, please don't jump straight into the "depression" pool, order blood tests first.

God bless and protect this man. He is a diamond 💎

I work out side 8-12 hours a day. Had all these problems, literally everything mentioned. Had enoff of it took time from work for stress, got my blood taken, everything was good but vitamin D. I started keto and fasting and take lots of vitamin D and I'm 100% better. Like noticeable mood changes. Dr. Berg straight up saved my life.

[joanies]

I got extremely ill from vitamin D deficiency. It was so bad I could not sleep, had zero energy to get out of bed, chronic fatigue, and was like a freaking zombie. I didn't have all these symptoms, it was a process figuring it out. I thought it was a B12 deficiency, and it may have been part of my overall health issue, but not the reason I got so bad. Working at nights and not taking a supplement was the culprit.

[karywilson]

Found out I was severely Vitamin D deficient. Had most of these symptoms. My back was hurting so bad I thought I injured it. Went through PT. Didn’t help. Also the fatigue I felt was unreal. I felt like I couldn’t think straight at work, my anxiety got 10x worse. After watching your videos I asked my doctor to check my vitamin D. Sure enough my levels were at 10. Started taking 20, 000 ius daily within 4 days I was feeling so much better. It’s so fascinating how our bodies react when we are missing those vitamins. Our bodies are speaking to us and we need to listen. Thank you Dr. Berg

[faatimamadsen]

Awesome stuff!!! 6 weeks of taking 50, 000 IUs a day I’m finally out of bed!! 2 months in bed pure exhausted i saw your conversation about high doses. And bought your vitamin D Added 600 mgs of magnesium. Ox bile, boron and enzymes!!! Magnificent rewards!!
Ps i sure wish u made a bigger bottle of the 10, 000 !! Amazon spends a lot of time at my house. ❤

The cravings from vitamin deficiencies are caused by hormonal imbalances and are the big cause to substance abuse, addiction, eating disorders also. People try to fulfill cravings with drugs, alcohol and junk over processed food. One of the root causes is nutritional deficiencies causing hormonal imbalances.

Every MD and OD should watch this video as part of their diagnostic training.

13:32 we need a video with clearly stated proportions between D3, K2, magnesium, zinc, copper and B6 if we have to take them all together

[ionelaclipa]

I stopped taking my vitamins while I was in Italy, felt awful, sleeping till 11AM, I returned home, London, started taking vitamins again and now I have lots of energy, I wake up at 6 AM and feeling amazing.
Lots of people are lacking vitamin D even though they live in a sunny place.

[lanagraham]

I just ordered your D3. I can't wait to take it because I'm deficient and have all of these symptoms. My husband also!! Thank you!

[hammernails]

I got panic attacks from putting everything off until later :) I was just prescribed 50000 ius and was diagnosed with skin cancer. I have quit all bad habits and learned the power of fasting. I have total faith. Thank you Dr. Berg, another great video.

[Vashti]

I was deathly ill last year and my (former) primary care doctor was, what I would consider, negligent in my (lack of) diagnosis. I had vertigo, fatigue, muscle aches and some depression. I learned more from you about deficiencies and went to work healing over time. I remain forever grateful for your help.

When I lived in the PNW, doctors would tell me that I need more vitamin D. When I asked them how do I get more living here? They would just shrug their shoulders. Moved to a state that gets more sunshine and immediately felt a difference.
