Make Sure Your Doctor Tests THIS

Did you know 70% of Americans have suboptimal levels of vitamin D?

Having adequate levels of vitamin D can reduce inflammation, boost your mood, help your immune response, ease muscle aches and fibromyalgia, increase bone density, and so much more.

That’s why I co-founded @functionhealth — to provide people with better access to more information about their health. In addition to getting 100+ different lab tests done, including specific hormone health-related tests, you’ll receive insights on how to move forward.

In today’s episode, I dive into the science of this vital nutrient and explain what you can do to boost your levels starting today.

At 44 I’ve been keeping my vitamin D levels at around 180 and I haven’t been sick in forever.. my kids get sick and I don’t..it’s remarkable.

I caught Covid "original" in March 2020 and developed long covid. It took TWO YEARS of me asking what my Vit D level was. Found a doctor who thought it was a good idea to run the test. My level was 7. I'll be taking the rest of my life, but my health has improved greatly. It took about a year to really start working. Also, B12.

[leyla]

Agreed. I was b12 and D deficient upon cancer dx of Lymphoma

I had that test taken, and since my insurance doesn't cover it, costed me $200 out of pocket. Suffice to say, I was way below the normal recommended value.

I had my vitamin D level taken due to health problems and it was a 7…Dr. said it was the lowest she’s ever seen. Now the insurance company is refusing to pay for it and it’s not a dosage that I can get over the counter either! 100, 000 iu a week!

[briari]

Omg this is why I love my Dr she test for it and she was the first Dr I've ever had do that test. Thank you Dr Anita Saini

My GP never tested for Vitamin D deficiency . I wasn’t tested until I started my program for bariatric surgery and they tested for it along with a lot of other things and found out that I was indeed Vitamin D deficient

🌷 You’re just so terrific 👍 Thanks for all the info!

[vonnevo]

Do I need to take Vitamin K2 with Vitamin D?

[MammaBear-xpur]

Be aware, there is research that links high vitamin D to pancreatic cancer. I don’t remember the links, but please research before taking high doses.

🙏🏽❤️Good morning to my favorite doctor and HAPPY HOLLY DAYS Thank you Gracias❤

[shelleysmith]

I take a 50, 000 iu small powder capsule daily. Makes a huge difference

[dimitraroth]

what is a vitamin D supplement that you would recommend?

[zebeart]

How many people have you saved, Dr. Hyman? You must have so much grace saved up in your spiritual savings account that you have a special place in heaven.

[deniset]

must you take magnesium for Vit D to work? Also was told Vit D must be taken with food, correct to?

[davidsimpson]

So glad I live somewhere I can run around half naked in the middle of the day, at least three months of the yr anyway. 😂

[jerrygrenadier]

I give my wife all the vitamin D she could ever ask for

[Keep-on-ok]

I get my vitamin D level checked every 6 months. My endocrinologist thinks it’s too high and wants me to cut back. I like to keep it around 100.

[gregsharp]

I take a liquid vitamin D every morning under my tongue 😛. I was low, now I feel better
