“Not saying you can't get benefit from the other, but it's harder. Vitamin D3. And then the third part was actually the SHEP program, again, the simple home exercise program. So the typical home exercises that you can do. So when they looked at all three and they were looking at reduction of biological age and rate of aging.”
“But another study, it's called the vital study. It looked at vitamin D3 and it was a little bit different per person, but you had to get your blood work, your 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 to 60 milligrams per deciliter.”
“your 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 to 60 milligrams per deciliter. Okay. So they're literally individualizing it. We got to get your numbers up. This is what made the hugest difference.”
“It didn't work in people that were overweight. It only worked in people with a healthy BMI. Interesting. So the vitamin D3 was not enough to offset obesity. Got it. And that's why all of these studies are so nuanced. But in our practice, we do three.”
“long as you're not on blood thinners, to take that as a great means. Now, one other thing I have to say is what they've also shown is there's three other nutrients for that arteroplaque, author sclerosis: vitamin D3, K2, and magnesium. Okay. They technically add B6 to that as well, but it only has to be a small amount.”
“So I'm all in. Okay. So creatine, vitamin D, vitamin D3, anything else that is lots. Well, we got time. Third hour. We'll do the third hour. And I'll bring this up because an interesting study published about two months ago challenged the wisdom that omega-3 supplements, fish oil in particular, was good for the brain.”
“Question number seven, how much vitamin D3 and what level do I target? So vitamin D3, if you look at it on a lab, it goes from 30 nanograms per deciliter to 100 nanograms per deciliter. You're considered okay if you're over 30. Well, 30 is clinically deficient.”
“So how do you know if you're getting 60 to 80 nanograms of vitamin D3? You want to be taking a minimum of 5,000 IUs per day, and you always want to pair it with something called vitamin K2. Why? Because vitamin D3 is a calcium transport molecule and it can deposit calcium into the arterial wall or it can deposit it into the bones.”
“your arterial wall. So as a general guideline, 5,000 IUs of vitamin D3 per day minimum, even if you're getting adequate sunlight. Question number eight, folate versus folic acid.”
“A large percentage of your brain is cholesterol. Cholesterol is how we make vitamin D3, sunlight, and cholesterol, the only vitamin that a human being can make on our own. Cholesterol is a necessary construction material. It does not just randomly and inadvertently jump out of the bloodstream and stick to the arterial wall.”
“made at the same time. Okay. They are not being taken with that pill of vitamin D3. That is a separate literature that's just gotten really some attention in the last 10 years. There are all these other things that prevent inflammation, that do things to your skin, that were actually being made by the sunlight that you're being exposed to.”
“What would. And you would see dramatic jumps in life expectancy. What would happen if I took this single-digit vitamin D3, what's called 25D hydroxy or Cholecalciferol, the sunshine vitamin? What if I normalized or put that level into the optimal end of the range?”
“We don't need to breathe. We don't need to drink. All we need to do is expose our skin to sunlight and have cholesterol in our blood and we make vitamin D3. How important do you think that is to human function? In fact, the second leading cause of morbidity in COVID was a clinical deficiency in vitamin D3. Leading risk factor was morbid obesity”
“the testosterone molecule and limiting the amount of so-called free testosterone that's available to have its impact on cells. Okay, so vitamin D3, I'm guessing you're talking about vitamin D3 specifically when you say vitamin D, and then boron 5 to 12 milligrams per day, right? And then what are some of the other things to optimize testosterone that are in supplement form?”
“There's other micronutrients. Magnesium really affects vitamin D. You need magnesium to convert vitamin D3 into. You know the steroid hormone. So there's so many different things that are affecting your vitamin D. If you don't measure it before and after it's hard to really make a statement that it did what it did or didn't do what it was supposed to.”
“but in particular, like from a mineral side, you know, you have, you know, magnesium, zinc, and the vitamin D3 are going to be three things that specifically on top of the minerals and vitamins that everyone's familiar with from multivitamins and whatnot are more difficult to get an adequate doses.”
“So living in a northern latitude, many months of the year, actually, there's no UVB radiation even reaching the atmosphere.. So people that are living in more northern latitude areas are not able to make vitamin D3 in their skin from the sun for many, many months out of the year. So that also really affects the ability to make vitamin D.”
