| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you |
| 0:08.4 | on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weights. |
| 0:27.4 | Now, some of the symptoms from a vitamin D deficiency are very similar to a calcium deficiency, |
| 0:31.3 | probably because you can cause a calcium deficiency if you don't have enough vitamin D. |
| 0:36.0 | So I want to go to the list to see if you might need more calcium or a vitamin D. |
| 0:43.5 | First of all, when you have low calcium, you could have similar symptoms to having peripheral neuropathy like a diabetic would have, numbness and tingling in the fingers and the toes, |
| 0:50.5 | muscle spasm, Charlie Horse, you can have achy muscles, very similar to a vitamin D deficiency, |
| 0:56.7 | because vitamin D directs where calcium goes. Does it go into the muscle or not? And so if you're |
| 1:01.6 | low in vitamin D, you're going to have a lot of muscle aches, but definitely in your lower back. |

| 1:46.5 | Now, with low vitamin D, that can affect your mood. You can feel sad, depressed, anxiety. |
| 1:54.3 | With low vitamin D, you can have high blood pressure. Also, with low vitamin D, you might have a hard |
| 1:59.5 | time going to sleep. Like, you're really tired, |
| 2:02.8 | but your head cannot go to sleep. That means you need calcium. Now, with low vitamin D, it's going to |
| 2:08.4 | affect your immune system. You're going to be more susceptible to getting sick. And another way to |
