Today I want to cover the warning signs of a vitamin D deficiency. However, it’s important to remember that a warning sign or symptom isn’t the real problem—it’s an indicator of the real problem. 

Seven warning signs of a vitamin D deficiency:
1. High blood pressure 
2. Low back pain 
3. High blood sugar 
4. High susceptibility to viruses 
5. Autoimmune conditions 
6. Daytime sleepiness 
7. Depression 

Let’s say you’re doing everything right, and you’re still deficient in vitamin D. There are a few reasons why this could happen. 

Top causes of a vitamin D deficiency (when you’re already getting vitamin D):
• Polymorphism (a vitamin D receptor mutation)
• You’re still not getting enough vitamin D (you need at least 10,000 IU)
• You have a problem with absorption (due to low zinc, low magnesium, a liver problem, a kidney problem, darker skin, or being overweight)

When you take a vitamin D supplement, you also need to take vitamin K2. The correct ratio is 10,000 IU of D3 to 100 mcg of K2. Vitamin K2 can help drive calcium into the bones and help prevent it from depositing in the arteries, joints, and other tissues.

This man should win the Nobel prize for saving the lives of millions for free

To be honest, I have been following this doctor ever since 2014 and the word thank you doesn’t even explain how grateful and how amazing this doctor is

Western medicine may be in the top of its game in some areas, but when it comes to returning to or maintaining actual homeostasis of the body, it fails, miserably.

Dr. Berg, I’ve never met you but you have been much more helpful to me than my physician of decades. Thank you.

[suzadamo]

I suffered from back pain, for more than 10 years. Tried everything including seeing Chiro & TCM until I started taking D3 & K2 supplements religiously for the past 1.5 years. Now, I'm perfectly fine. TQ for sharing Dr Berg.

I’m a sanitation worker & janitor at school in the evenings. I done some blood work because I was feeling fatigued. I have an enlarged prostate and changed my diet due to the risk of cancer. No caffeine, red meat, processed foods, & list goes on. I ended up losing 20lbs. 3 weeks ago I contract Covid-19 for the first time from my wife whom works at home but recently went out the country. No Covid-19 issues while being an essential worker. I went to the hospital 4 days ago and found out my vitamin d levels were 18. I do have a couple of lower disc damage in my back. Pain comes and goes. My rest is 6 hours of sleep and I’ve had years of depression. I was addicted to alcohol, now 13 years clean and have been seeing a therapist for 5 years for mental depression. Thank you so much for helping us all with your videos.

I just want to thank you for all your info shared and for being an excellent on line dr. I know you can't say you provide any health care, but you do and it's great.

[sunnysun]

Dr Berg! Eventhough I am not able to see a pair of wings behind you, I'm sure you've got it there somewhere 😇
You're an angel! and a life saver for many many people, empowering many souls to think and take charge of their own health, being sovereign individuals, and not being a drugged slave to the system. Love you, love you, love you so much🙏💚🌎🍀♥️

Hello Dr, you are making videos with more information which we normally don’t get from any Dr we consult. Your videos are also very interesting like any entertainment videos. Thanks for your service.

[makamurphy]

This channel literally my medical class for me 😁 love it!

[neeshj]

It takes a real skill to explain these topics in a simple easy to understand way. Good on you Dr Berg. You are helping many people!

[luvsfsh]

Opposite I’m so thankful I started writing a novel. I will go to your website. I am truly grateful for you. You are an angel after all the years that you went through in school to become a doctor and to go on YouTube and tell us all the correct way to fix ourselves is truly a blessing. I truly believe in you and everything that you say and I have told numerous people and sent your videos to get people started on watching you on YouTube. The next thing I will do is post it to all my social media accounts, everyone should know who you are, you should win some kind of award for truly helping people out. Thank you for your kindness.

You are literally describing indicators that most Black Americans have. It is said that we are highly deficient in Vitamin D but I rarely see doctors recommend it before meds. Thank you for this.

[lynetterobson]

I've been following since about 2015. I have learned so much and never visit a doctor any more. I go to Doctor Berg instead and he answers all my questions.
