Supplementing with Vitamin D has been all the rage in the past few years. But today, I’m giving you a not so popular, but important perspective that will hopefully help you make an informed decision for your health.


Many years ago, researchers found that those with chronic illness and higher mortality rates from many diseases also statistically had lower Vitamin D levels. So the assumption was made in the medical community (pretty early on) that supplementing with Vitamin D would have a beneficial effect.  But, an article released  by some of the most published researchers on this topic suggest that the actual sun exposure and the lifestyle habits of those who spend time outdoors provides the correlation to good health, not Vitamin D.  Another important point that researchers are making is that Vitamin D deficiency is likely the result of chronic disease, not the cause.

In todays episode, I’m going into why taking vitamin D might not all it’s cracked up to be, the harm it could cause and what you can do instead.

In this Episode, I Cover:

  • The importance of sufficient sun exposure for your overall health

  • How to make an informed decision whether you should continue to take Vitamin D or explore other options

  • My personal journey with Hashimoto’s and why I think Vitamin D didn’t help me heal

  • Options for enhancing your bodies ability to naturally create Vitamin D

  • Shop for toxin free mineral sunscreen on the Toxin Free Shopping Guide

**Doors are open to my signature quarterly course,  Toxin Free in 3 and closes on May 31st.   They won’t open again until August.
