all right vitamin d very very important in feeding your microbes your microbes are dependent on the vitamin d that you either get from the sun you take as a supplement or get from your food which by the way is almost next to impossible to get unless you’re consuming a lot of fatty fish but other than that it’s going to be really hard to get it from the food and many people don’t go out in the sun as much and so there’s a lot of barriers in getting that vitamin d and when you feed the microbiome they develop significantly in their diversity so you can increase the diversity of your microbes with feeding them fiber from vegetables but you can also increase the diversity from getting enough vitamin d which is actually quite fascinating there are certain ratios of microbes that come out correct if you have enough vitamin d there are additional microbes that will grow in the presence of vitamin d in fact these microbes are major butyrate producers now what is butyrate butyrate is the small chain fatty acid that helps improve your blood sugars it helps to feed the colon cells it actually gives you energy when you produce this it actually supports insulin and keeping insulin more sensitive and a lot of people have a problem with that as well these microbes that are dependent on vitamin d also help you make vitamin b and so they actually exchange the b vitamins and they also give us b vitamins and if they’re not there because you are deficient in vitamin d then you can be deficient in the b vitamins as well and that can affect sleep it can affect stress and your skin and all sorts of things now the great majority of the population has a subclinical deficiency of vitamin d which means that it may not even show up on your blood it could be in the conversion from the inactive vitamin d to the active vitamin d but as far as an actual deficiency forty percent at least forty percent i think it’s probably more like fifty or sixty percent uh people in the us and europe are deficient in vitamin d and 85 of people in the arabic countries have a vitamin d deficiency so what is the significance of that well it increases the risk of cancer diabetes heart attacks autoimmune diseases why because vitamin d has everything to do with the integrity of your gut epithelium and since 80 of your immune system is in the gut if there is a problem in the gut wall you have leaky gut a lot of these proteins and food particulates can get through and you can have this immune reaction and develop new antibodies against your proteins and some of these proteins can mimic our own cells so you start developing antibodies against your own tissues thus the autoimmune condition and by the way a really good antidote or something to support autoimmune conditions especially as we’re talking about inflammation is vitamin d in higher amounts i’ve done videos on that then we have the inflammatory bowel disease connection allergies is an immune problem that’s generated usually with a problem with the gut again a link back to vitamin d then we have asthma children that play outside in the sun that get a lot of vitamin d seem to go in remission if they have asthma and then we have dermatitis in psoriasis which is connected to a vitamin d deficiency so you can see the huge problem being vitamin d deficient during the winter months when people are severely deficient they start getting depressed they start getting sick more often because the vitamin deficiency makes you more susceptible to viruses and bacteria and a lot of people gain weight during the winter because of a vitamin d deficiency now that could be for many reasons it could be that you just don’t have the diversity of the microbes which affects the blood sugars causing you to have more cravings to carbs and eat more but it could be other reasons as well so just make sure that you’re getting more sun during those months that you can get more sun but during the winter i would highly recommend start taking a good vitamin d on a regular basis with a minimal amount of 10 000 iu’s every single day and start to feed the microbes so then the microbes can then make more b vitamins and exchange those because you fed them the vitamin d so if you’re enjoying my content which i hope you are and you’re applying this knowledge to your health and you have a success i would really appreciate you sharing your success story so click the link down below to my website where you can upload your success story so you can help inspire others
