First and foremost, thank you. Nursing student here, from Australia. What stands out for me is that you don't look like your reading this lecture, either you are a brilliant actor who learns their lines well, or you know what you're on about! I hope its the latter, subscribed! Best health to you all
It's great to hear a doctor with outstanding nutritional knowledge. I have low vitamin D and CKD, I'm thinking they go hand-in-hand. COVID hit me harder than most. Supplements don't seem to help, trying to figure out which will. Thank you for the info, doc!
🇨🇦Canadian Pharmacist here: Great presentation, excellent explanation, keep up the great work. Vitamin D deficiency is definitely common in Canada and it plays such an important role in the body. Many people in Canada are deficient but never get a chance to find out as testing is not covered in every province. Excellent content here. Very timely as well.
That was incredible! This has helped me study and revise for a nutrition exam. It was explained so well, and I feel like I am finally understanding the concept. Thank you so very much
Known as the sunshine vitamin, vitamin D is produced by the body in response to skin being exposed to sunlight. It is also occurs naturally in a few foods -- including some fish, fish liver oils, and egg yolks -- and in fortified dairy and grain products.👏
There’s a lot of people recommending a much higher level of supplementation, Dr. Rhonda Patrick takes 5000 IU per day, Dr. Eric Berg recommends 10,000 IU per day. Make sure to take K2 (MK7) at same time as VitD to make sure the increased calcium absorption is going to the right places and not the wrong places with negative side effects.
@@joshposh9789 dr chris Kresser also recommends 5-10k IU for vitamin D, I just read that in his email newsletter 1-2 days ago just FYI. He has been interviewed on Joe Rogan podcast several times although idk if he spoke about vit D on those shows
@@joshposh9789 Professor Roger Seheult, MD also recommends much higher levels, and he teaches medicine to doctors! ua-cam.com/video/ha2mLz-Xdpg/v-deo.html
I trust this kind of hardworking Dr, he is super hard working I swear he never get tired of writing even though he have been writing so many yrs during his training n after.. N his body tells everything how hard working he is. And in indy most dr body wud store n accumulate too much fats especially in their abs n no shape n dull n lifeless skin, they don't groom well their face n looks untidy with beard n moustache.. Who doesn't look after their own body I'm not sure how they will perform or how many percentage they will give effort to their patient..
Research suggests it's VERY difficult to raise serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D above the reference normal upper limit (100 ng/mL). Research also shows that for both influenza and COVID-19 the greatest protection from infection (double that of the lower, 30 ng/mL limit of reference "normal") is achieved with blood levels between 55 and 100. We have seen zero reports of vitamin D toxicity from taking ordinary vitamin D supplements regardless of dosage. The reports of toxicity I've seen involved highly concentrated D products (e.g., concentrated D liquid drops) or defective products in which the vitamin was accidentally dispensed without dilution.
I was vitamin D deficient at 30 nmol/L. I took 7,000 IU daily to raise serum D3 with monthly readings of 70, 88, 128 and most recently 145 nmol/L, within optimal range. I also take vitamin K2 to prevent soft-tissue calcification. Official dosages are only minimum requirements to prevent weak bones, ignoring many other physiological needs (discovered in recent research); hence too low for optimal health. The optimal levels recommended by Dr Seheult is 126-175 nmol/L (including Covid-19 prophylaxis). Levels below 125 nmol/L are regarded as sub-optimal. I am reducing my summer dosage to 4,000-5,000 IU daily to see whether it is sufficient to maintain optimal levels above 125 nmol/L.
@@montyi8 They shouldn't be, I recently spent around 70R$ (~14 US dollars) in Brazil for my blood test which included vitamin D among a bunch of other things, expensive healthcare is usually a result of over regulation which is very common in the field.
I'm taking magnesium rich food/the occasional magnesium tablet for high blood pressure, which also apparently directs calcium from bloodstream to the bones. I am currently able to keep my diastolic uner 90 which the doc says means i dont need to go on bp tablets. To get to this point i think cutting out caffeine and salt from the diet helped bring my diastolic down some.
Very clear and concise lecture especially during this time when numerous "doctors" are suggesting huge amounts of Vitamin D supplementation. Thanks for posting.
Wow excellent video Dr. Mike you explained it incredibly well! The examples you used and the way you broke it down made it easy to understand and remember! Thank you
👍 Excellent video - very informative. Thank you for making the video. The only misinformation is they are supposed to be abdominal "groan" and psychic "moan" and not the other way. Understandably once the video is published, it's a pain (psychological of course :) to redo it all over for the error ( I've experienced it myself when making an educational video for students with an inadvertent error due to limited time and diminishing energy from busy teaching at the end of the day). Nonetheless, I suggest and think it will be helpful to add notes for the correction below the video for viewers. Keep up the good work! 👍👏
Awesome lecture. BTW it's quite interesting that both vitamin D deficiency and overdose can cause osteomalacia under one condition which is low calcium level, isn't it? Thanks a lot for uploading this one. :)
I’m vitamin D deficient because I’m a night shift nurse. I stopped taking my supplements and of course my levels dropped. Not excited for my follow next week. Doc is gonna be mad. 😂😂😂
Matt, Vit D is supposed to aid calcium absorption in the system - so why would excessive Vit D (over exposure on the whiteboard) once again result in Exttra calcium floating around in the blood OR result in Osteomalacia which are supposed to be the result of its deficiency ?
Very informative Mike. I currently take vitamin D supplement prescribed by my doctor. I now understand this supplement and how it works in my body, and the risk of taking too much. Thank you very much!
Dr. Mike’s handwriting is even more amazing than the effects of vitamin d.
Agree and we all know about doctors handwritings. I always admired their memory though.
Omg this cracked me up XD The best comment
Huh it's pretty average handwriting lmao

Friendly pharmacy? That's kind of an oxymoron.
Just like saying "Friendly poison"
I rarely use drugs, and I have known several pharmacists who were helpful with alternatives.
Vitamin d testing is not covered by any province in Canada as part of their free health coverage

Exactly I felt the same. Reading the book alone was not helping me out.
I did all lecture Class without absorbing Proper concept but it makes my sense why i am here....
Thanks 🌸
Vitamins D is so bizarre and does so many different things its got me spinning right round. Like a record. Whoever figured out vitamins D is a genius.
FINALLY someone tells me how it makes bones stronger. I was so confused on the why but its basically bone remodeling and precipitation.
On behalf on people learning some kind of healthcare anywhere in the world, you the man bro

And offal: liver and kidneys. I find liver is tolerable when sliced thinly and cooked for 5 minutes in balsamic vinegar, honey and chillies.
And also by exposing mushrooms to the sun it produces vitamin d. Which can be consumed
This is so clear and was exactly what I was looking for! Legend !

Too much vitamin D causes your pararthyroid gland to get lazy and bone remodelling slows down.
Because people in the risc group are almost always critically deficient in magnesium and K2 vitamin (more so than everyone else)
