Many people are deficient in this essential vitamin, and in this episode I break down how it acts more like a hormone than a vitamin. Vitamin D3 impacts so many systems in our body from brain and mood to immunity, heart health and more. I provided an overview of some of the key studies showing the links between vitamin D3 levels and diseases like cancer, diabetes, arthritis and neurological conditions. I even talk about seasonal affective disorder, my personal experience with it, and its link to low levels of vitamin D3. Tune in for my recommendations on getting your vitamin D3 levels optimized through supplementation.\xa0\n\nHIGHLIGHTS\n0:00 Vitamin D's role in brain health and disease prevention.\xa0\n04:00 The science behind how vitamin D3 improves immune health.\n06:30 Why do we associate getting sick in the winter and colder weather?\n08:15 How does vitamin D3 benefit mood, weight loss, and overall health?\n12:30 Vitamin D's role in heart health and supplementation.\xa0\n\nJournal Articles Referenced\nhttps://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/942497\nhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9938420/\nhttps://charmaustin.com/3-ways-to-fight-seasonal-affective-disorder/\nhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9938420/#bib63\nhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9938420/#bib64\nhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9938420/#bib63\n\n\nFOLLOW\n\nGary Brecka: @garybrecka\nThe Ultimate Human: @ultimatehumanpod\n\nSubscribe on YouTube: @ultimatehumanpodcast\n\nDisclaimer:\nThe Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.
