You will see on my
You Tube Channel a series of videos interviews where I pull back the curtain of the Spiritual Retreat Organization and offer members an inside view. I'd like to do that again around Vitamin D!
First, let me give you the back story: About 3 years ago I really got the now-universal message about the importance of taking Vitamin D. Even conventional doctors understand its importance. For me this came about from reading articles by
Dr. Holick who is considered the definitive authority on Vitamin D.
According to the science, optimal levels of Vitamin D will lower your risk of cancer and a heart event by 50%! Let me say that again--
50%! The "optimal level" in your lab work according to Dr. Holick is between 50-80 ng/ml. This is different than what you will see on your blood work report which will usually say 40 ng/ml.
So over 3 months, I made a decision to get to the optimal level. I started at 4000 mg of Vitamin D and 32 ng/ml. I am now at 60 ng/ml! I take 9000 mg of Vitamin D a day. Important: I did this under the care of a Dr. as you should too. I had 3 blood tests during the 3 months.
It's broken down like this: I take a green food powder called Nutri-One By Natura in my morning smoothie which has a 1000 IU of Vitamin D and then I add 6 drops of Thorne Vitamin D making it 4000 IU and then before bed I take a capsule of 5000 IU by Designs By Health Vitamin D Supreme.
Behind The Curtain: So here is what I have witnessed in my spiritual retreat practice over the last 3 years with many spiritual and super-health conscious clients:
1. 99% of them who are taking it, don't know what their Vitamin D blood work level is.
2. 50% of them who are taking it,don't know how much Vitamin D they are taking.
3. 40% of them are not taking it!
Many of these clients are totally aware of the importance of Vitamin D.
Why are these the percentages? A hundred reasons! Bottom-line: Vitamin D is inexpensive and easy to take.
Let's just do it! There is no excuse, brothers and sisters! This is what I tell myself to stay consistent with it.
Let's Just Do It!
