As much as 70% of the population are deficient in this.
Which is a huge issue, since it does so many fantastic things for the body.
It speeds up fat loss.
Boosts testosterone in men.
Provides more natural energy.
Improves lean muscle growth.
Strengthens the immune system.
And not getting enough of it?
Well, that’s linked to all kinds of problems.
Depression, low energy, and cancer among them.
The crazy part?
You can actually get it for FREE.
I’m talking about Vitamin D.
I am intentional about getting direct sunlight every single day.
I love how the sun makes me feel.
At a minimum, every morning…
I’ll spend 10 minutes in the yard getting sun with my bare feet connected to the grass.
I also go on mid day walks and train outdoors 2-3 days a week.
Side note for the boys.
Just 15 minutes in the sun daily or 30 mins 3x per week…
That’s all one needs to increase testosterone production by up to 69% according to some published studies.
Organic eggs and beef liver, both of which we use at Nutrition Solutions also are good sources of vitamin D.
Pay attention to this next part.
Although I get plenty of natural sunlight…
And my bloodwork has ALWAYS shown my Vit D levels to be in healthy range.
I also supplement with 30,000iu of vitamin D every day.
Why?
Because my goal is NOT to be in the “healthy range” of anything.
My goal is to be in the “optimized range.”
Here’s a few fun facts about me…
I don’t wake up tired.
I have more energy today then when I was 20.
I never get sick.
Is vitamin D solely responsible for those outcomes?
No.
But it’s part of my routine and definitely plays a role.
I included vitamin D in the 6 Week Fat Melting, Performance Optimizing Stack because I believe it’s that important.
Many of you think getting sick multiple times a year is normal.
I assure you, it is not.
But our immune systems can’t work on our behalf if we’re not fueling them properly.
Your diet might be on point, gym routine consistent, and sleep habits sound.
But if you’re not supplementing with vitamin D…
You’ll still get sick and experience peaks and valleys with your energy levels.
Even if you are getting out in the sun sometimes.
Unfortunately, in the modern world, there’s just too many toxins present in the environment.
So it’s up to us to protect ourselves from their harmful nature.
Do yourself a favor…
Start supplementing with vitamin D.
It takes :30 to order on Amazon.
It’s inexpensive as hell, measurably improves health, AND has no negative side effects…
Even at higher doses of 30,000 i.u. a day, like I take.
