State of Health Podcast #12: Get a BIG DOSE of the D! Vitamin D!

Get started with my FREE bodyweight training program Body Basics which requires no equipment by going to https://subscribepage.com/bodybasics

On this episode of the podcast, I am going solo on the D. Vitamin D that is. Here’s what I cover. What is vitamin D? What does it do? Where do we get it from? What is the optimal level of vitamin D3 in the blood and what is defined as vitamin D deficiency? I also include a top 7 list of factors which affect vitamin D production and use in the body. They are:

1. Use of sunscreen
2. Melanin
3. Age
4. Levels of magnesium
5. Levels of boron
6. Levels of vitamin K
7. Body fat content

So if all that sounds interesting then this podcast episode is for you
