| 0:00.0 | Hello guys and gals. In this episode of the Found My Fitness Podcast, I address some of the most |
| 0:05.3 | popular questions regarding vitamin D, including how do I decide how much vitamin D I should supplement |
| 0:12.4 | with? Can you get too much vitamin D? Is there a difference in vitamin D made from the sun versus a |
| 0:19.8 | supplement? And what form of vitamin D is more bioavailable and absorbed better? But before we dig in, |
| 0:28.5 | disclaimer, please keep in mind that the information in this podcast is not intended as a medical |
| 0:33.9 | advice. It is for informational purposes only and run it by your physician if applicable. |
| 0:39.8 | Also in this podcast, I refer generally to some gene polymorphisms which change the conversion |
| 0:46.1 | and function of vitamin D. To learn more about these gene polymorphisms, you can sign up for my |
| 0:52.0 | newsletter at foundmyfitness.com and you'll be notified when I release a new tool on my website |
| 0:59.6 | hopefully very soon that can help you understand some of your raw 23 and me data, |
| 1:05.5 | allowing you to explore information that ties to your unique genotype and may tell you about your |
| 1:10.6 | own individual metabolic idiosyncrasies. The newsletter is also your gateway to podcast notes |
| 1:16.9 | and in-depth articles I simply do not share anywhere else online. The sign up form can be found |
| 1:22.9 | at foundmyfitness.com. Finally, this episode of the Found My Fitness Podcast is sponsored by people |
| 1:31.4 | like you. So if you like it or otherwise find the information in it valuable, please consider |
| 1:37.6 | signing up to contribute $5 per month which is right about the cost of a lot of these days. |
| 1:43.5 | My goal in a nutshell, if I can achieve my next funding milestone, is to ramp up the frequency |
| 1:49.3 | of my podcast and videos by getting a little bit of production help and possibly even take a year |
| 1:54.9 | to distill down as much information as I can into a book. Sounds like worthy goals, right? |
| 2:01.1 | Great. So you can find out more about this on my website or you can head right over to my crowdfunding |
| 2:06.8 | page at patreon.patrn.com slash foundmyfitness. Now onto the podcast starting with the most frequent |
| 2:19.6 | question I received about vitamin D, which is how do I decide how much vitamin D to supplement with? |
