    Vitamin D is important but confusing. Find out how to boost vitamin D and much more.
    0:00 Introduction: Vitamin D levels explained
    1:40 Understanding the vitamin D receptor
    6:25 How to boost low vitamin D
    8:45 Learn more about vitamin D toxicity!
    Today I want to cover what you really need to know about vitamin D.
    The RDA for vitamin D is 600 IU for adults under 70 years old. But, the studies that support this amount are outdated.
    Vitamin D reaches the cells through vitamin D receptors. Unfortunately, you can’t use blood tests to determine what’s happening in the cells, and various problems can occur with these receptors.
    For example, about 30% of the population has a genetic problem with the vitamin D receptor, meaning they have a difficult time getting the vitamin D they need.
    Many health conditions are directly related to a problem with the vitamin D receptor, including:
    • Autoimmune diseases
    • Breast cancer and colon cancer
    • Certain cardiovascular diseases
    • Certain cognitive diseases
    • Diabetes (type 1 and type 2)
    • Metabolic syndrome
    • High blood pressure
    • Tuberculosis and certain infections
    • Lyme disease
    • Hair loss
    • Crohn’s disease
    • Respiratory infections
    • Asthma and food allergies
    • Low back pain
    • Vitiligo
    • Osteoporosis
    • COPD
    • PTSD
    How to increase vitamin D:
    1. Take more vitamin D
    2. Take your vitamin D supplements inconsistently
    3. Take magnesium
    4. Take zinc
    5. Take bile salts
    6. Consume omega-3 fatty acids
    7. Consume vitamin K2
    8. Take resveratrol, curcumin, quercetin, and sulforaphane
    9. Consume butyrate (vegetables)

    I haven't found anyone else that goes into this much depth to help. Not even my own doctors. I've had specialists, nutritionalists, many consultation after consultation. Many tests, poked and proded, many different medications and supplements and so on. My heath problems, which I've had my whole life, I've come to suspect is because of genetic deficiency of vitamin d and reception. I've watched dr berg for years and I'm so grateful to be given the information to start to finally be healthy and feel better. Thanks Dr. Berg

    I had a doctor freak out once when I got my D tested..! She said it is way too high and called me telling me to immediately get off my D supplements…, I of course did not get off of them…!
    I had just finished a course of taking 100,000iu for a week about two weeks earlier. I was very happy to see my levels up high…! I had read all of the studies, non mainstream, on high dose vita D benefits. And I have never looked back, I also stopped going to that doctor because I tried to explain to her and she did not want to listen.
    I don’t let body mechanics bully me… my body my choice! So unless a doctor is humble enough to listen to my side of things I fire them…!
    I am happily doing well and take about 30,000iu daily

I've been letting my body guide me (along with educational videos and medical recommendations from professionals) on what feels good to take in supplements, such as quercetin, zinc, K2, fish oil, and magnesium. I take 5000 IU's of vitamin D3 daily, and my blood levels were at exactly 50 ng/ml last I checked. So I assumed I was good. BUT, the more we look, the more we learn about the important details. My autoimmune issues still haunt me, and I'm disabled. So I will look into genetic testing for vitamin D receptors.

    Vitamin D3 with K2 really help! My optimal vitamin D level has helped me in CoVID & flu. I had very mild symptoms for CoVID (just fatigue) flu symptoms didn’t last long either . It took me nearly 3 years to get to just normal level but that was 18 years ago. Getting a lot of sunshine does not guarantee better level - my friends in S Italy were shocked to find out they were deficient. Now they are all on vitamin D 😍

    High fructose corn syrup is one of those vitamin D receptor blockers (Medcram video on vitamin D). You could have normal or even high levels of vitamin D but because of HFC in majority of processed foods the vitamin D isn’t doing what it supposed to do which is boost our immune response to all the bugs out there.

The doctor did not prescribe any meds. This was the last of January, 2020. I was listless and breathless and dizzy ALL 2020. I could not do anything for five minutes. In December, I began a weight loss program. The doctor prescribed 50,000 units of vitamin D. The next day, the next day I felt energy!!! I called my sister and told her I cleaned on my house for five minutes! Each day, I could go longer.

    I just talked to my Doctor this week and told him I was wanting to up my D3 to 30,000 or even 40,000 a day. He was like no way I said isn't it an anti-inflammatory and with crohn's I have all kinds of inflammation going on. He looked at my blood work and said mine was fine but I was already taking 5000 to 10,000 a day at that time. He said if I wanted to try it go to 20,000 maybe 30,000 a day but not over that. I was really wanting to get up to 50,000 and see how it worked for me after a few months of doing this. I'm so frustrated with our medical system in the US right now. I just don't know what to do. I've tried so many things with no luck. I do take VSL-3 and started the Colostrum from Sovereign you talked about in one of your videos to help restore the guy and it has helped me.

    • @victoriawenz1987
      @victoriawenz1987 Рік тому +2

      Vitamin D levels don't necessarily translate to active vitamin D. What they are testing for in blood tests is the inactive form of vitamin D. This vitamin D has to go through a process to convert into its active form but in order to do that you need good amounts of Mag and Zinc. There are environmental and genetic factors that can deplete your body of both those. So even if your vitamin d on blood test looks good you don't really know if you are converting it properly. The converted vitamin D is what they use in immune therapy for cancer in immune therapy. Just goes to show you how important it is. So knowing your genetics might help you understand if you have a predispositions.

    Thank you as always Dr Berg this may be part of the puzzle that I'm trying to figure out.

    LONG TIME LISTENER, FIRST TIME CALLER.
    Dr. Berg love that you are getting inspired by your own genetics to make more videos that are new. I'm on this same path of understanding my genetics. Looking back i can see how there were family members who struggled with certain conditions that were genetic and they never knew and because now I know I have these genetic predispositions. Now that we have the blessing of seeing our own genetics we can alter our enviroment.
    :) Great video.
    Vitamin D has to be converted into its active form in the body ( this is not what they measure on blood tests they measure the inactive form). Some genes will lessen this conversion rate. Meaning you might have plenty of vitamin D on your blood test but behind the scenes you aren't converting it to the proper form in order for it to be properly utilized by the receptor. MAG and Zinc are crucial for this conversion process. So if you have genetic predisposition to low vitamin D, or low mag, or low zinc ( yes there's genetics that can affect all those levels), you might not be getting the biggest bag for your buck with your vitamin D supplement.
    If you haven't looked into Dr. Ben Lynch he has some great videos on genetics and has been a pioneer in this feild of using genetics to guide your medicine, and using food and supplements to correct those gene expressions etc.
    So glad you are bringing awareness to this bio-individuality part of our care. 🥰 Dr. BERG THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU.

Most importantly, after the testing is done…….did you show the results concerning the receptors to your regular medical doctor…….to prove that the receptor is the problem…….and to maybe get off your case when your Labs show your levels to be waaaay beyond what they typically want ? Or will they STILL give you a hard time……and not CARE what the testing showed ? There are 7 of us in my family who really want to do the testing, but I told everyone to put their brakes on until I came to you FIRST. Thank you.❤️

    What do you think about Moyshe 2 times 40 days, Elijah, Yeshua fasting for 40days (M not drinking even, E walking day and night, Y not eating. Did he drink water?)
    There was this Scotsman Barbieri. He fasted for 382 days losing 125 kg.
