The sunshine vitamin…a key component of OPTIMAL health! Get your levels checked!

Vitamin D deficiency is a major epidemic that is off the radar for most doctors and public health officials. ⁣
⁣
Most doctors think that if you don’t have rickets you don’t have vitamin D deficiency. They couldn’t be more wrong. Most ask what is the minimum dosage to avoid rickets? Answer: 400 international units (IU) a day. ⁣
⁣
But the real questions to ask are: how much were we designed to have and how much do we need to be healthy? It depends. If you have a deficiency, you might need somewhere between 5,000 to 10,000 IU a day. Others need about 2,000 to 2500. However, It's best to work with a Functional Medicine practitioner to determine how much vitamin D you need.⁣
⁣
Amazing things start to happen when my patients’ vitamin D statuses reach optimal levels. Having witnessed these changes, there’s no doubt in my mind: vitamin D is an incredible asset to your health.⁣

👋 Hello to my US peeps! 👋

This is a local company that makes the most amazing, potent and AFFORDABLE probiotic that I recommend to all of my Canadian clients!

The Cultured Coconut is available online and at a few health food stores in the US, but they’d love to branch out further and get into more local health food stores down there. If you’d like to give it a try (and I highly recommend you do…for the product and the price!), maybe you could ask the folks at your local health food store to bring it in so you (and others in your area) can try it out!

You won’t be disappointed! 😁

Until very recently, many of our customers across Canada discovered The Cultured Coconut through shopping at their local, independent health food stores. And for this, we will forever be grateful to them all 💕🙏🏼
Now that life has already started returning to a new ‘normal’ in the US, we would love nothing more than for our E-commerce customers there to have the choice of shopping locally too.
If you’d prefer to buy our probiotic kefir at an independent health food store in your area, we’d encourage everyone to speak to those owners about carrying us. We currently have a small handful of stores in five US states - it would mean the world to us if we could reach out to even more people who might benefit from taking the most powerful and affordable natural probiotic available. 🤗🙏🏼

This is the site about ✨Vitamin D✨ we keep talking about in the podcast! Full of useful information!

We ALL need this critical vitamin and MOST of us are deficient - it’s why we started with it as the first topic of our podcast! If you haven’t listened already, be sure to scroll down our page to the link to ✨Episode #1✨ where we talk about All Things Vitamin D! 😁

While there is no single supplement or habit that is the magic solution to optimal health and wellness, there are certainly some that stand out.

One of them is Vitamin D because it is one of the cheapest and most accessible ways to support immunity. An abundance of research has been published clearly demonstrating the low risk, and high benefit of vitamin D in preventing complications from the Coronavirus, and other common health challenges.

My colleagues and I want to raise awareness about the benefits and prevalence of deficiencies in our society in the hopes that vitamin D distribution programs for our country’s most vulnerable, and around the world can be part of public health policy during the pandemic and beyond.

Vitamin D is a low-cost supplement but if you don’t have the means or you don’t want to take a supplement, get into sunlight from May-October, enjoy more dark coloured mushrooms and small inexpensive fish like sardines, herring and mackerel.

No matter what you decide is right for your health, there is always a benefit in doing your best to eat nourishing and delicious foods.

See?! We told ya it was bad! 🤣. But the awesome thing is that cutting it out can make a big difference pretty quickly! 👌

In fact, it takes just ten days without sugar to see substantial metabolic and neurological benefits. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
In a study published in the journal, Obesity, and sponsored by the National Institutes of Health, scientists recruited 43 overweight teenagers who had at least one feature of metabolic syndrome, such as high blood sugar, hypertension, or abnormal cholesterol. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
On average, the subjects had been getting about 27% of their daily calories from sugar. But the researchers made one simple modification to their diets: They replaced all sweet foods that they were eating—candy, pastries, doughnuts—with starches. They kept the number of calories the same, so the subjects wouldn’t lose any weight. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
The goal of the study was to see whether replacing sugar with slow-acting carbs would improve health even without weight loss. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
After only ten days, there were marked changes. On average, the subjects’ diastolic blood pressure fell 5 points. Their LDL cholesterol dropped 10 points. Their triglyceride levels plummeted 33 points. And their fasting blood sugar and insulin levels—both of which are predictors of diabetes—improved significantly. ⁣
