    I was *dead tired* a few weeks ago, blood tests showed very low levels of Vitamine D. Bought a good supplement + ate sardines daily. My fatigue is almost gone a few weeks later! And yes, I felt anxious for no reason too, gone now.

    Glad more people who can influence are getting the word out about the need to keep vitamin D levels in check! I am also glad that "mainstream" doctors are finally getting on board with checking Vitamin D and recognizing D3 over D2 to help with deficiencies. A few years ago when my daughter went in for a physical to participate in high school sports, I asked the doctor to check her levels and discovered her levels were very low. After a couple/few weeks, her mood and energy levels were up noticeably! If you have a teenager you know to celebrate when they are not grouchy and not bumping heads with her so much was good for my energy levels, too ;) Now she has it checked yearly and is able to buy over the counter D3 to manage it.

      @@h9peless potassium serum level has nothing to do with your actual intake of potassium! This is what very fee people understand. You need 4000mg potassium daily and unless you know for sure you are taking that much you’re deficient. Plus magnesium deficiency contributes to twitching. as far as vitamin D is concerned most people are deficient unless you are taking 5000iu daily. I’ve been taking 10,000iu daily for years and its stable now at 80ng/ml which is right where it should be for a male

    Thanks for the information. I didn't know egg yolks have vitamin D. Where I live now, Denmark, is pretty shitty in this time of the year, since there is little to no sunlight and the sun sets early and raises late.
    But, as you said, if nothing can be done through food or sunlight, I can always supplement, which I will think about, since I do think I already have enough of vitamin D which I get from foods.

    I’d rather keep seeing you guys in the videos than the newer guys. They just don’t feel very Mind Pump, and I tend to skip anything with them in it at this point. I’m sure they’re wonderful people, but they seem like they’d appeal to a demographic younger than what your podcast demographic probably is. If that’s the intent, great, but that probably means I’ll be sticking to the podcast then. Keep it up!

    My doctor prescribed me to vitamin d2, it worked by making me less anxious. But I’m still having body pains and muscle spasms. & I’m pretty sure i have Ibs. Is there any other vitamins i should be supplementing with? And should i switch to vitamin d3 instead? I was gonna wait until i got my levels tested to decide. But i feel like crap, and i honestly just want to feel better. Cause it’s taking a real toll on my mental health.

    level of serum 25-OH vitamin D less than 20 ng/mL (1,2).
    The Endocrine Society went on to further define vitamin D
