After 2 months of Vitamin D, sleep issues have simply disappeared. A few days ago it just hit me that I simply don't wake up in the middle of the night anymore.
My vitamin d was at 17, I had severe lower back pain, joint paint, ache bones, my mood was so out of control I literally thought I was bipolar, severe intrusive thoughts. I had suic-idal thoughts almost daily. I had a severe chronic fear, it felt like it was beyond anxiety, like I was in constant immense fear. My level of focus and concentration were extremely low. Difficulty getting asleep and staying asleep.Weight gain, muscle aches, hair thinning, skin issues, and getting sick easily. It was like like hell on earth. Get your levels checked anytime you get blood work done it’s so important.
You are so right on the mark I started following you during the pandemic and not surprised by the great following that you have Dr Hyman we appreciate you ❤
Dr mark Hyman, you are one of the very few doctors across board illustrating the importance of vitamin D which is useful to everyone on globe to avoid many health issues, Appreciate your medical insights. Thank a lot 🙏
A few days ago, I received the results of my blood work that included, for the first time in my 76 years, the level of vitamin D that required additional paperwork from my doctor to do the analysis. It is 55ng/ml. I left the grey skies of Chicago in 1999, for the sunny skies of Buenos Aires. I burn easily with white skin because of vitiligo from age 22. I walk daily for sun and exercise to keep my immune system strong. I stopped using toxic sunscreen a long time ago. It doesn't take long for my skin to turn red. The only vitamin D made in Argentina is a gel capsule that contains 250mcg/10,000UI. I take two per day. Thanks for your great video.
Sadly, my conventional doctor doesn't know what the optimal level of vitamin D is. My level was 30 and i asked him what's the optimal level and he said I'm within the range so I'm good. No, I'm not good when i have muscle tightness everyday and i have been living with mast cell activation syndrome, virtually sensitive to every food. Very frustrating
Age: 19 years Primary Concerns: Diagnosed with Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D deficiencies. Experiencing symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, poor sleep, dark circles under the eyes, weak posture, and occasional mild burning sensations in muscles and eyes. No gastrointestinal symptoms (no weight loss, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation). Regular diet includes protein-rich meals, and stool appears normal. Suspected malabsorption despite a balanced diet and no evident gut issues. Recent improvements in energy and lung strength after starting Vitamin B12 supplementation. Key Questions for the Doctor: 1. Could there be an underlying malabsorption issue affecting nutrient levels despite the absence of gut symptoms? 2. Should an endoscopy or other tests be conducted to investigate potential causes? 3. Are additional nutrient or metabolic tests recommended to rule out deficiencies or other conditions?
Hi, can you have a health bite on the role of cholesterol and the production of vitamin D? And how statin lowering cholesterol can affect your vitamin D levels?
With the obesity crisis, what formula would be used to accurately measure one's blood level? Per Kilo, Pound etc etc. Per 10 lb for that matter. This a critically important factor for accurate results.
My vitamin D levels have sat at 20 for years and I realize I need to take a supplement, however, every time I do I get severe body aches. Is there a reason for that and how can I fix it.
I have heard that you need to take D3 with K2 and magnesium, maybe zinc as well. Dr. Berg has several good Vit D UA-cam videos explaining the other supplements and why they work well together.
Wait, i need to hear about this genetic stuff. My doctor's refuse to test it because "it's expensive" and "not the standard of care." I was taking 30k iu's and still watching my level drop to 18. I'm in Cleveland but can afford the functional medicine institute or function health (which doesn't include generic testing anyway).
Tell them you're willing to pay out of pocket for the test. Sounds like an HMO insurance doesn't cover it. I wanted a test when I was pregnant and they told me I wasn't old enough. (But I would be old enough 3 weeks after the birth, so close enough). What they failed to tell me was that I could have paid for that test myself. So instead I was a nervous wreck for the rest of the pregnancy. Sometimes they are penny-wise and pound-foolish
@jenniferwiebusch9688 Make sure to take large amounts of Magnesium which D needs to activate. Are you taking d3? Also Dr berg sells a 10k pill w. all the co-factors. Apparently you have an issues with D absorption. Also try Vit D lamp.
What about balance issues/dizziness etc. Feeling like your like your reactions are slower etc. Neck movement popping and snapping sounds with movements up and down etc are those also part of low D ? I know i am insufficient on D and suffering with those symptoms. On the D train for 2 weeks now feeling of low energy and lower back pain seems to be gone but neck popping and balance seems to be lingering. How long it takes to restore to normal functions ?
I think the neck popping is just calcium deposits. I have that too. But when I regularly do neck exercises it goes away. Just tip your head to the left and right , towards each shoulder. Then forward chin to chest, and back look at the sky. Do that a few times to loosen up. Then do neck circles, clockwise and counter clockwise. Those noises are breaking up the calcium deposits. If you do that every day the popping should go away and not build up again.
Anybody who found this useful would get a lot from watching Dr John Cambells channel. He has done a lot of Vitamin D3 episodes in the last few weeks. He has interviewed Prof Clancy (Australia) and Dalgleish (UK). All his experts recommend a level of 100+ as optimal, he discusses this in a recent study,
It's the same thing. I take 20K IU a day with K2 (which you must have the K2 so it doesn't go into your arteries, but your bones), and some naturopaths state even more. I still feel aches and pains in my lower back, probably due to my excessive sugar intake.
"The VACCINE was not brought in for COVID. COVID was brought in for the VACCINE. Once you realize that, everything else makes sense." ~Dr. Reiner Fuellmich
He mentions it briefly. Tim Spector did a whole “vitamin” D episode on the Zoe Nutrition podcast that is a nice, long-format, companion episode to this.
This is all well and good, BUT, if you are deficient in D3 and it isnt toxic, how many IU's should you take daily? Once a day? Twice a day? With food/fat, without? How much K2 and Mag? If you cant OD on the stuff, 20,000IU? 30,000IU? More?
I take 20K IU a day. Dr. Berg states that you even can take more than that. You'll have to watch his video. I believe he even stated 100K IU, but double check on his video.
Because pharma won't like it and they rule the healthcare system, unfortunately!! If Trump gets into office and RFK, Jr is in control of healthcare, he will probably allow Naturopaths to be included in our Healthcare.
I'd be curious to see a vitamin D study on the homeless. They're in the sun way more than the general population and probably don't suppliment. They're diets are horrible too.
I'm living in my car now for a few months. It's hard to eat healthy without a refrigerator😅 and proper kitchen. Lots of processed food, canned stuff. One of our community had a stroke yesterday. He's only a few months older than me. I know I'm deficient in D and have supplements. But I need to get lab work done so I stopped so they can get a good baseline when they test. I heard a couple of people died out here. Lot of the men drink. And smoke. That won't help anything and it's expensive.
Your videos do not need to be that long if you would just get to the point rather than say the same thing 50 different ways. And maybe more people would take the time to play your videos.
My HYPER Vitamin D almost killed me. It was 235, and I almost died. It’s important to monitor your levels in both directions. Too much or too little can be lethal.
Its only "as important" to monitor if the two had equal probabilities; meaning you are way more likely to be deficient than overdose. Without calculating probability, you might as well freak out that too much food could kill you or dying during a marathon!
@@HomesteadAce it’s always important to monitor your Vitamin D annually. So you know you’re taking the correct dose, because your needs do fluctuate with your sun exposure. Always monitor.
45 is too low doc! Sorry... im at 45 with a lot of deficiency symptoms! I think 50 is the bare minimum and even that does not optimize your immune system. Doctors need to realize those low numbers may stop bone.loss but will not do anything else
I pray to God that everyone who is reading this gets better and stays healthy. What helped me is using the herbs from the book the hidden herbs by anette ray
I have read many books, I listened to many UA-cam videos by many of the world's leading gurus and health experts but nothing came close to the hidden herbs by anette ray. I recommend everyone giving it a read.

You forgot to mention the importance of cofactor MAGNESIUM with Vitamin d 3 plus K2! So important to remember to take both together at high doses.

When you get the show notes up, I will be interested to look up the studies.
Great info! 🌿

How much vit d do you recommend daily? Thanks.

I agree I was thinking exactly the same thing. Magnesium, potassium, zinc and sodium are also critical as they all work together❤
Yes magnesium is just as important
Yes, actually D3, K2 with MK7, magnesium and zinc! Should all be taken together

My vitamin D test 25-OH level is 131. What is this mean? According to Quest Diagnostics reference range is 30-100 ng/ml.
My results from quest was 25ng/mol. I was given 200k IUD shot of d3 injection that is supposed to last for a month
@susan001 131 is NOT high, its optimal. It's what many sick ppl are trying to get to. 180 approaching 200 is hight. Youre fine!

I love Dr Campbell.
yes 100-180 optimal
Excellent health vid on Vit D and it’s importance.
Was enjoying your video who you said that 250 and then it turned to sci-fi
2000, to 5000 what a day? It’s confusing as in the uk we often use different terminology! Is 4000iu what Mark is talking about? Any advice?
It's the same thing. I take 20K IU a day with K2 (which you must have the K2 so it doesn't go into your arteries, but your bones), and some naturopaths state even more. I still feel aches and pains in my lower back, probably due to my excessive sugar intake.
I need a good vitamin D supplement. My test just came back and my level is 19.0 ng/ml. I’ve had Hypothyroidism most of my life.
Bio Tech brand is the one I am taking.
Life Extension has D3+K+Sea Iodine. It seems that it is good for people with hypothyroidism.
I had D3 supplements but then a doctor told me to take calcium. But I couldn't find calcium by itself, they all included D3
