Introduction: Common vitamin D deficiency symptoms

0:00today I'm going to give you 11 really

0:02bizarre wild vitamin D deficiency

0:05symptoms now of course most people know

0:07the usual vitamin D symptoms lower back

0:09pain depression high blood pressure

0:12inflammation autoimmune diseases things

0:14like that but I will guarantee you do

0:16not know these now I'm going to break

0:17this up in two sections the first part

0:19of this video is for the person who

0:22wants just Bare Bones information they

0:25don't want anything too tactical and

0:26then the second part of the video I'll

0:28go into those people who want the

0:30science behind it the mechanism Behind

0:32these symptoms and like the underlying

0:34reason why they develop in the first

0:36place you have about 25,000 genes in

0:38your body and 10% of those genes are

0:41greatly influenced by vitamin D not to

0:44mention when you get your blood tests

0:46with vitamin D they're only showing you

0:47the inactive vitamin D they're not

0:49showing you what's happening in the

0:50cells and so the blood levels of vitamin

0:52D do not correlate very well with the

0:55vitamin D that are in your cells an

0:57active suppression of anything positive

1:00about vitamin D in the news in medical

1:03research because it directly competes

1:06with the top selling drugs I got up and

1:07presented this data to you know these

1:10were the top vitamin D researchers in

1:12the world all assembled there it was

1:15vicious the attacks of how Vitamin D

1:17doesn't do this how could you say this I

1:20said I'm just presenting the data that

1:22we have assembled you're walking on guys

1:25careers that have spent their whole

1:26career doing this stuff they never

1:28conceived that this could be true so

11 surprising vitamin D deficiency signs

1:31let's dive in okay number one head

1:33sweating now typically you'll see this

1:36in infants but you can also see it in

1:38teenagers adults but if you notice like

1:40a child or yourself sweating just more

1:43in the head suspect a vitamin D

1:46deficiency number two sweating more at

1:49night even if your temperature is cool

1:51now this can also show up with your

1:53pillow being moist in the morning so

1:56excess sweating especially at night is a

1:58vitamin D deficiency number three

2:00mood swings a person going from a

2:04condition or emotion of Happiness down

2:06to feeling irritable down to angry and

2:09then they get sad because vitamin D

2:12controls the regulation of your mood and

2:15it heavily influences emotions and this

2:18has a lot to do with how Vitamin D

2:20affects your brain but if you notice

2:21that yourself or loved one is just like

2:23roller coastering with these emotions

2:25could be a vitamin D deficiency number

2:27four procrastination being backlog

2:30and you just don't feel productive I

2:32mean it's pretty wild that someone's

2:34motivation is connected to a vitamin D

2:36deficiency all right number five panic

2:39attacks now in other videos I talk about

2:40panic attacks being a vitamin B1

2:43deficiency and it can be but you also

2:45have a vitamin D connection to this as

2:47well a panic attack is a very severe

2:51fear or a very high anxiety condition

2:54and it definitely relates to certain

2:56hormones and neurotransmitters like

2:58serotonin but for those people out there

3:00that have panic attacks resort to drugs

3:02they might want to consider trying high

3:04doses of vitamin D3 I've done videos on

3:07certain breathing techniques that a

3:08person can do as well like breathing

3:10through your nose and I will put that

3:11link down below but don't forget vitamin

3:14D number six achiness in your pelvis in

3:18your lower back in your hips and your

3:20upper legs vitamin D is intimately

3:23connected with the formation of bone and

3:26One symptom of that is literally pain

3:30but not sharp pain this achiness that's

3:34the inside of the bone because that's

3:36where you're losing the bone on the

3:37inside it's sad because it's so easy to

3:40fix but you would have to take higher

3:41amounts not lower amounts I'm talking

3:43like 10,000 20,000 at least if you have

3:46any concern about 20,000 I use of

3:49vitamin D3 being toxic I just want to

3:51let you know that being out in the sun

3:53in the summer for 40 minutes will give

3:55you 20,000 iuse of vitamin D3 is that

3:57toxic no 20 100,000 IUS of vitamin D3

4:02taken over months that's when you get

4:05into the Toxic effect not 20,000 IUS so

4:07then we have number seven which is loss

4:09of muscle strength vitamin D has a

4:11direct effect on calcium itself and

4:13without vitamin D calcium is going to be

4:16deficient in the muscle calcium allows

4:18the muscle to contract but not only

4:20contraction it's also involved in the

4:22production of muscle itself so without

4:25vitamin D and calcium you cannot create

4:27muscles and we also get this weakness

4:29with within muscles that control Power

4:31and strength primarily your legs and

4:34your shoulders and on top of that

4:37vitamin D also controls and regulates

4:40pain number eight stiffness and the

4:42stiffness usually occurs in the knees

4:45and in the fingers and of course this

4:47definitely relates to inflammation but

4:49it also has to do with What vitamin D

4:51does to your cartilage and your collagen

4:55so you might find that when you stretch

4:57backwards and create tension on the

5:00cartilage in your breast bone you might

5:02feel stiffness in that area as well and

5:05that can also affect breathing things

5:07like that number nine chronic fatigue

5:11this has a lot to do with those little

5:13energy factories in your cell they're

5:15called mitochondria and how important

5:17vitamin D is to support that little

5:21Factory and if you don't have enough

5:22vitamin D you just can't make energy

5:25number 10 your ability to think quickly

5:29is to diminished basically you have too

5:31many applications open on your desktop

5:33computer but related to your brain and

5:34number 11 it's just very difficult to be

5:36satisfied when you eat a meal it could

5:39be that the food is just nutritionally

5:41empty and you keep eating to get these

5:44nutrients it can also be certain things

5:46in the food that cause you to be

5:48addicted but if you're low in vitamin D

5:51you're just not going to feel satisfied

5:53you will definitely have a tendency to

5:54overeat so now that you know the general

Vitamin D3 deficiency explained

5:56information let me just kind of give you

5:58another layer of of this data on each

6:01point which is actually very interesting

6:03okay number one was head sweating

6:04there's something different about the

6:06head versus the rest of the body as far

6:08as certain sweat glands we have a lot

6:10more sweat glands in our head than other

6:13parts of our body it affects the

6:14autonomic nervous system causing this

6:16excess sweating in the head now this

6:18also relates to number two when we

6:20talked about night sweats but there's

6:21something else going on with night

6:23sweats vitamin D suppresses an

6:25overactive immune system and just think

6:27about the immune system of all the

6:29things that happen one would be like a

6:30fever right that's a normal response and

6:33so when you're deficient in vitamin D

6:36and you have a slightly overreactive

6:38immune system this whole mechanism of

6:40sweating is controlled by this little

6:41tiny computer chip in your brain called

6:44the hypothalamus and when you have a

6:45vitamin D deficiency in this

6:47overreactive immune system it's going to

6:48trigger excess sweating to compensate

6:51for this immune imbalance situation and

6:54one aspect of this is a fever your body

6:56is generating more heat and with that

6:58comes more sweat to compensate State all

7:00coming from a vitamin D deficiency all

7:02right number three is a mood swing okay

7:03now when we kind of come up and down on

7:05this emotional roller coaster you have

7:06your adrenals involved now the adrenal

7:08gland starting with the hypothalamus

7:10pituitary and adrenal is on this HPA

7:14axis this circuit thing going on but

7:16when you're vitamin D deficient cortisol

7:19is going to go up now I don't know if

7:21this is just because it's trying to help

7:23you get rid of inflammation I don't know

7:24about that but with a vitamin deficiency

7:26you're going to have a disregulation of

7:28this cortisol pattern

7:30and if you have too much cortisol it's

7:31going to put you more in a different

7:34emotional state let's go to number four

7:36which is low motivation to do in the

7:39brain there is this little center it's a

7:42tiny little nerve bundle it's quite

7:45fascinating it's called the nucleus

7:47accumbent and this is the heart of a lot

7:52of things including addictions it kind

7:54of runs on dopamine and yes dopamine is

7:56involved in addictions but it's also a

7:59neuro transmitter that's involved with

8:01motivation reward doing things getting

8:04things done that type of thing all right

8:07number five panic attacks a high level

8:10anxiety a very strong fear panic attacks

8:15from a physical standpoint in the body

8:17are related to that structure I talked

8:19about in the brain called the amydala

8:22that's more like an adrenal in the brain

8:24it's kind of like it regulates fear that

8:26needs vitamin D we have several things

8:28going on we have serotonin which is kind

8:31of like a a happy hormone and so vitamin

8:34D is is necessary to balance these two

8:36things all right number six achiness in

8:38the pelvis area in the lower back and

8:41the upper thigh muscle now this relates

8:43to a condition called

8:45osteomalacia now what is osteomalacia

8:48that's a severe vitamin D deficiency

8:49that's affecting the calcium in the bone

8:51now think about this vitamin D

8:53deficiency is the number one cause of

8:55osteomalacia this is basically where the

8:57bones become very soft I I think this is

9:00going on in a massive scale in society

9:02right now but they have a subclinical

9:04version of osteomalacia I think I had it

9:07in high school because I was eating

9:09poorly and I I know I had a vitamin D

9:12deficiency and I I started getting

9:13fractures but the bones are soft certain

9:16proteins that are just not developing as

9:18well you have to realize that vitamin D

9:20you know controls calcium absorption by

9:2220 times in the small intestine and in

9:25other videos I talk about the two

9:26systems of vitamin D you have the one

9:29controls calcium and the other system

9:31that is non-calcium yes you can check

9:33the vitamin D in the blood if you tested

9:35that chances are that's going to be

9:37pretty low it's probably going to be 30

9:39or less in which case you just need to

How much vitamin D should I take?

9:41start taking vitamin D3 and I would take

9:43a lot of it I would take at least

9:4610,000 to 20,000 I use per day until you

9:50can get your levels a little bit higher

9:51for this bone problem you could probably

9:54get away with taking it sporadically

9:56like once a week if you want to do that

9:58but I wouldn't do that if you had the

9:59problem so that's number six let's go to

10:01number seven loss of muscle strength why

10:04because vitamin D controls calcium and

10:07calcium controls the contraction of the

10:11muscle if you're missing calcium because

10:13you don't have enough vitamin D and you

10:15can't contract what's going to happen

10:18with that muscle pain that's kind of all

10:20over it's hard to pinpoint it's just

10:22achy all right number eight is stiffness

10:24mainly in the knees and the finger

10:26joints because the cartilage needs

10:28vitamin D and it's not getting vitamin D

10:31so it's going to be more inflamed in the

10:34weightbearing joints on your knees could

10:36be the hips as well but also if you use

10:38the computer a lot or your fingers

10:40you're going to notice in the fingers

10:42this can definitely lead to

10:43osteoarthritis this is a lack of vitamin

10:45D vitamin D is essential for maintaining

10:49this cartilage and maintaining the

10:51ligaments and the tendons and think

10:54about this your ribs attached to the

10:56sternum with cartilage so you're going

10:57to notice it right through here too and

11:00so this is why stretching is so

11:02important to really keep this rib cage

11:06opened up because it'll tend to be

11:08contracted inflamed and pull you forward

11:10down here so you end up having bad

11:12posture and kind of a hunchback and not

11:15just take vitamin D but they need to do

11:16a lot of stretching to reverse that all

11:19right number nine chronic fatigue

11:21syndrome there's two different reasons

11:23for chronic fatigue syndrome one is that

11:25your vitamin D controls the number of

11:28mitochondri that are produced the

11:30mitochondria or the energy Factory so

11:32you're going to have less mitochondria

11:33it's less energy so without vitamin D

11:35you're going to have dysfunctional

11:36mitochondria but the second reason for

11:38chronic fatigue syndrome is the immune

11:42connection if you are low in vitamin D

11:45certain viruses will come out of

11:47remission and be active these viruses

11:50especially the Epstein bar virus will

11:52start to come out of remission and be

11:54active one of the symptoms that they

11:56produce is fatigue so it's not like you

11:59have this full-blown infection now you

12:01get certain aspects of that infection

12:04like chronic fatigue nearly 100% of the

12:06people that have this reactivation of

12:09this Epstein bar virus or chronic

12:11fatigue syndrome it came after a severe

12:13loss loss of a loved one or a loss of a

12:16job or something like that but also it

12:18could be a vitamin D deficiency which by

12:21the way if you have vitamin D deficiency

12:22and you go through a loss boy that

12:24stress is going to hit you a lot harder

12:25you just need a lot of vitamin D I would

12:27take 50,000 I use a vitamin D3 every

12:30single day to pull yourself out of

12:33chronic fatigue syndrome all right

12:34number 10 mental sluggishness or

12:37slowness with decisions thinking focus

12:39is distracted vitamin D has a profound

12:42effect in the front part of the brain

12:44which kind of our relay system and even

12:47communication between one neuron and the

12:50next needs vitamin D3 and then we get to

12:53the last one feeling satisfied so letin

12:56tells the brain that you're full if you

12:58don't have enough D it's not going to

13:00work that well vitamin D helps make

13:02leptin work better then we also have

13:04insulin if you don't have enough vitamin

13:06D insulin doesn't work as well and

13:09you're going to be hungry insulin allows

13:11all the nutrition to go into the cells

13:13so if you have insulin resistance

13:15because you're low in vitamin D you're

13:17not going to be satisfied so just by

13:18taking vitamin D insulin becomes more

13:20sensitive and you start getting more

13:22fuel to the cells you get more nutrients

13:24to the cells I hope this helped you to

13:26understand these bizarre unusual

13:28symptoms of vitamin D deficiency start

Take vitamin D3 with the cofactors

13:30taking vitamin D make sure you also take

13:32magnesium vitamin K2 zinc and B6 as the

13:37co-actors to prevent any issues and just

13:39to help it work better thanks for

13:41watching and I will see you in the next
