Summary

This episode is brought to you by Rupa University and AG1. Unfortunately, while almost never diagnosed, vitamin D deficiency affects over half of the population and has been linked to many cancers, high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, depression, fibromyalgia, chronic muscle pain, bone loss, and autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis. Vitamin D is almost totally absent from our food supply, and vitamin D deficiencies are the hidden cause of so much suffering—yet it is so easy to treat. In today’s episode of my series I’m calling Health Bites, I talk about vitamin D deficiency, share my top strategies for optimal sun safety this summer, and much more. This episode is brought to you by Rupa University and AG1. If you’re a healthcare provider who wants to learn more about Functional Medicine testing, you owe it to yourself to go check it out today.
