Are You Vitamin D Deficient?

On today’s Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…Dr. Jack Stockwell, a NUCCA Chiropractor and GAPS Practitioner in SLC, UT (866.867.5070 | ForbiddenDoctor.com | JackStockwell.com), covers the the biggest news in the health and wellness space from a holistic, naturopath perspective. In this episode, Dr. Jack dives into the cold and flu season, which also coincide with when most of us are at the height of being Vitamin D deficient. This begins a conversation on the benefits of Vitamin D, as well the symptoms of being deficient, and the differences of synthetic Vitamin D supplements over whole food Vitamin D supplements. Then, Dr. Jack dives into the debate between raw milk and pasteurized milk, the benefits of raw milk, and why it’s far more difficult to get. Vitamin D naturally occurs in raw milk, but pasteurized milk has the option to purchase with Vitamin D added, and it’s always the synthetic version. Continuing with the conversation on Vitamin D, Dr. Jack shares the importance of getting direct sunshine for 30 minutes a day can give you enough Vitamin D to show benefits. When taken in supplemental form, the best form of whole food Vitamin D is real, pure cod liver oil. Unfortunately, most cod liver oils are now industrially produced from the livers of inferior fish. The oil is heavily treated with most brands removing the Vitamins A & D for synthetic replacements. This is because the natural Vitamins A & D is that they will break down, when it’s exposed to air it will oxidize. Doug joins the conversation where he and Dr. Jack address listener questions, including the new upside-down food pyramid, the importance of healthy proteins and healthy fats. Website: GoodDayHealthrShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks
