Summary

The hype around Vitamin D supplementation has waxed and waned over the years in the lifting community, but has overall, landed in a place where it’s more or less universally seen as a positive supplement. But what is the state of the data? What can you expect as a lifter out of vitamin D supplementation? How do you measure vitamin D status, how reliable are these measures, and should we even be measuring it? The answer probably differs at the population and individual levels. We’re joined by Dr. Niamh Aspell of Sigma Nutrition who did her Ph.D. on Vitamin D as well as Austin Baraki, MD from barbell medicine who deals with this on a clinical level on a regular basis to answer these questions.

0:30.9	hours. We could probably do it in this podcast episode today. And then Eric said to me, but Omar,
0:36.7	what do you think about the D? And I said,
0:38.0	I beg your pardon. And I thought it was like a Skype issue. And they said, oh, vitamin D. And that made
0:43.4	me turn full circle. I'm like, you know what? There could be something here. We have a hunky doctor.
0:47.6	We have someone who's done their PhD research on this. Let's talk about it. We could save that for, what, our 200th episode? What was that be, end of the year or something?
