What's up, buttercup? Today we are talking vitamin D, everything vitamin D. And I know we've talked about

vitamins before on the Schleenshow, but it seems in recent weeks people are more

interested finally in talking about their immune system and the vitamins that they need to take and the supplements that they really should be considering

because we're all thinking about our immune system, which is why I wanted to talk about vitamin D specifically today.

I mean, there's a lot of different supplements that we could talk about, but you told me

vitamin D was at the top of your list and it makes total sense to me because

vitamin D is it's the mother load. This episode is going to blow your mind.

Let's start off by understanding that vitamin D probably we shouldn't even refer to it as a vitamin because it's a hormone.

Your body produces it. It's actually a fat soluble hormone.

And knowing that it's a hormone because you listen to the Schleenshow,

maybe you are a phased it up or one through one member, you know that weight loss, weight gain,

our size and so much of our health has everything to do with hormone regulation, right?

So it would only make sense that in preparation for this episode, as I'm looking at PubMed and looking for clinical trials,

I found over 140

different clinical trials that specifically looked at vitamin D as it pertains to weight, like insulin resistance and weight gain and

obesity. It's really remarkable how much vitamin D has to do with our weight.

Now before we go much further, I'm gonna break down what exactly vitamin D is and how it works and

you're gonna get so much information in this episode.

But one thing you need to know is that when our hormones are off and specifically when our vitamin D is off,

it can have a dramatic impact on our mood, our happiness, anxiety and depression.

Very rarely have I done an episode of the Schleenshow where I didn't talk about the importance of therapy.

So we're gonna talk about supplementing and how supplementation can help you with these things.
