today I'm going to give you 11 really bizarre wild vitamin D deficiency symptoms now of course most people know the usual vitamin D symptoms lower back pain depression high blood pressure inflammation autoimmune diseases things like that but I will guarantee you do not know these now I'm going to break this up in two sections the first part of this video is for the person who wants just Bare Bones information they don't want anything too tactical and then the second part of the video I'll go into those people who want the science behind it the mechanism
Behind these symptoms and like the underlying reason why they develop in the first place you have about 25,000 genes in your body and 10% of those genes are greatly influenced by vitamin D not to mention when you get your blood tests with vitamin D they're only showing you the inactive vitamin D they're not showing you what's happening in the cells and so the blood levels of vitamin D do not correlate very well with the vitamin D that are in your cells an active suppression of anything positive about vitamin D in the news in medical research
because it directly competes with the top selling drugs I got up and presented this data to you know these were the top vitamin D researchers in the world all assembled there it was vicious the attacks of how Vitamin D doesn't do this how could you say this I said I'm just presenting the data that we have assembled you're walking on guys careers that have spent their whole career doing this stuff they never conceived that this could be true so let's dive in okay number one head sweating now typically you'll see this in infants but you
can also see it in teenagers adults but if you notice like a child or yourself sweating just more in the head suspect a vitamin D deficiency number two sweating more at night even if your temperature is cool now this can also show up with your pillow being moist in the morning so excess sweating especially at night is a vitamin D deficiency number three mood swings a person going from a condition or emotion of Happiness down to feeling irritable down to angry and then they get sad because vitamin D controls the regulation of your mood and
it heavily influences emotions and this has a lot to do with how Vitamin D affects your brain but if you notice that yourself or loved one is just like roller coastering with these emotions could be a vitamin D deficiency number four procrastination being backlog and you just don't feel productive I mean it's pretty wild that someone's motivation is connected to a vitamin D deficiency all right number five panic attacks now in other videos I talk about panic attacks being a vitamin B1 deficiency and it can be but you also have a vitamin D connection to
this as well a panic attack is a very severe fear or a very high anxiety condition and it definitely relates to certain hormones and neurotransmitters like serotonin but for those people out there that have panic attacks resort to drugs they might want to consider trying high doses of vitamin D3 I've done videos on certain breathing techniques that a person can do as well like breathing through your nose and I will put that link down below but don't forget vitamin D number six achiness in your pelvis in your lower back in your hips and your upper
legs vitamin D is intimately connected with the formation of bone and One symptom of that is literally pain but not sharp pain this achiness that's the inside of the bone because that's where you're losing the bone on the inside it's sad because it's so easy to fix but you would have to take higher amounts not lower amounts I'm talking like 10,000 20,000 at least if you have any concern about 20,000 I use of vitamin D3 being toxic I just want to let you know that being out in the sun in the summer for 40 minutes
will give you 20,000 iuse of vitamin D3 is that toxic no 20 100,000 IUS of vitamin D3 taken over months that's when you get into the Toxic effect not 20,000 IUS so then we have number seven which is loss of muscle strength vitamin D has a direct effect on calcium itself and without vitamin D calcium is going to be deficient in the muscle calcium allows the muscle to contract but not only contraction it's also involved in the production of muscle itself so without vitamin D and calcium you cannot create muscles and we also get this
weakness with within muscles that control Power and strength primarily your legs and your shoulders and on top of that vitamin D also controls and regulates pain number eight stiffness and the stiffness usually occurs in the knees and in the fingers and of course this definitely relates to inflammation but it also has to do with What vitamin D does to your cartilage and your collagen so you might find that when you stretch backwards and create tension on the cartilage in your breast bone you might feel stiffness in that area as well and that can also affect
breathing things like that number nine chronic fatigue this has a lot to do with those little energy factories in your cell they're called mitochondria and how important vitamin D is to support that little Factory and if you don't have enough vitamin D you just can't make energy number 10 your ability to think quickly is to diminished basically you have too many applications open on your desktop computer but related to your brain and number 11 it's just very difficult to be satisfied when you eat a meal it could be that the food is just nutritionally empty
and you keep eating to get these nutrients it can also be certain things in the food that cause you to be addicted but if you're low in vitamin D you're just not going to feel satisfied you will definitely have a tendency to overeat so now that you know the general information let me just kind of give you another layer of of this data on each point which is actually very interesting okay number one was head sweating there's something different about the head versus the rest of the body as far as certain sweat glands we have
a lot more sweat glands in our head than other parts of our body it affects the autonomic nervous system causing this excess sweating in the head now this also relates to number two when we talked about night sweats but there's something else going on with night sweats vitamin D suppresses an overactive immune system and just think about the immune system of all the things that happen one would be like a fever right that's a normal response and so when you're deficient in vitamin D and you have a slightly overreactive immune system this whole mechanism of
sweating is controlled by this little tiny computer chip in your brain called the hypothalamus and when you have a vitamin D deficiency in this overreactive immune system it's going to trigger excess sweating to compensate for this immune imbalance situation and one aspect of this is a fever your body is generating more heat and with that comes more sweat to compensate State all coming from a vitamin D deficiency all right number three is a mood swing okay now when we kind of come up and down on this emotional roller coaster you have your adrenals involved now
the adrenal gland starting with the hypothalamus pituitary and adrenal is on this HPA axis this circuit thing going on but when you're vitamin D deficient cortisol is going to go up now I don't know if this is just because it's trying to help you get rid of inflammation I don't know about that but with a vitamin deficiency you're going to have a disregulation of this cortisol pattern and if you have too much cortisol it's going to put you more in a different emotional state let's go to number four which is low motivation to do in
the brain there is this little center it's a tiny little nerve bundle it's quite fascinating it's called the nucleus accumbent and this is the heart of a lot of things including addictions it kind of runs on dopamine and yes dopamine is involved in addictions but it's also a neuro transmitter that's involved with motivation reward doing things getting things done that type of thing all right number five panic attacks a high level anxiety a very strong fear panic attacks from a physical standpoint in the body are related to that structure I talked about in the brain
called the amydala that's more like an adrenal in the brain it's kind of like it regulates fear that needs vitamin D we have several things going on we have serotonin which is kind of like a a happy hormone and so vitamin D is is necessary to balance these two things all right number six achiness in the pelvis area in the lower back and the upper thigh muscle now this relates to a condition called osteomalacia now what is osteomalacia that's a severe vitamin D deficiency that's affecting the calcium in the bone now think about this vitamin
D deficiency is the number one cause of osteomalacia this is basically where the bones become very soft I I think this is going on in a massive scale in society right now but they have a subclinical version of osteomalacia I think I had it in high school because I was eating poorly and I I know I had a vitamin D deficiency and I I started getting fractures but the bones are soft certain proteins that are just not developing as well you have to realize that vitamin D you know controls calcium absorption by 20 times in
the small intestine and in other videos I talk about the two systems of vitamin D you have the one controls calcium and the other system that is non-calcium yes you can check the vitamin D in the blood if you tested that chances are that's going to be pretty low it's probably going to be 30 or less in which case you just need to start taking vitamin D3 and I would take a lot of it I would take at least 10,000 to 20,000 I use per day until you can get your levels a little bit higher
for this bone problem you could probably get away with taking it sporadically like once a week if you want to do that but I wouldn't do that if you had the problem so that's number six let's go to number seven loss of muscle strength why because vitamin D controls calcium and calcium controls the contraction of the muscle if you're missing calcium because you don't have enough vitamin D and you can't contract what's going to happen with that muscle pain that's kind of all over it's hard to pinpoint it's just achy all right number eight is
stiffness mainly in the knees and the finger joints because the cartilage needs vitamin D and it's not getting vitamin D so it's going to be more inflamed in the weightbearing joints on your knees could be the hips as well but also if you use the computer a lot or your fingers you're going to notice in the fingers this can definitely lead to osteoarthritis this is a lack of vitamin D vitamin D is essential for maintaining this cartilage and maintaining the ligaments and the tendons and think about this your ribs attached to the sternum with cartilage
so you're going to notice it right through here too and so this is why stretching is so important to really keep this rib cage opened up because it'll tend to be contracted inflamed and pull you forward down here so you end up having bad posture and kind of a hunchback and not just take vitamin D but they need to do a lot of stretching to reverse that all right number nine chronic fatigue syndrome there's two different reasons for chronic fatigue syndrome one is that your vitamin D controls the number of mitochondri that are produced the
mitochondria or the energy Factory so you're going to have less mitochondria it's less energy so without vitamin D you're going to have dysfunctional mitochondria but the second reason for chronic fatigue syndrome is the immune connection if you are low in vitamin D certain viruses will come out of remission and be active these viruses especially the Epstein bar virus will start to come out of remission and be active one of the symptoms that they produce is fatigue so it's not like you have this full-blown infection now you get certain aspects of that infection like chronic fatigue
nearly 100% of the people that have this reactivation of this Epstein bar virus or chronic fatigue syndrome it came after a severe loss loss of a loved one or a loss of a job or something like that but also it could be a vitamin D deficiency which by the way if you have vitamin D deficiency and you go through a loss boy that stress is going to hit you a lot harder you just need a lot of vitamin D I would take 50,000 I use a vitamin D3 every single day to pull yourself out of
chronic fatigue syndrome all right number 10 mental sluggishness or slowness with decisions thinking focus is distracted vitamin D has a profound effect in the front part of the brain which kind of our relay system and even communication between one neuron and the next needs vitamin D3 and then we get to the last one feeling satisfied so letin tells the brain that you're full if you don't have enough D it's not going to work that well vitamin D helps make leptin work better then we also have insulin if you don't have enough vitamin D insulin doesn't
work as well and you're going to be hungry insulin allows all the nutrition to go into the cells so if you have insulin resistance because you're low in vitamin D you're not going to be satisfied so just by taking vitamin D insulin becomes more sensitive and you start getting more fuel to the cells you get more nutrients to the cells I hope this helped you to understand these bizarre unusual symptoms of vitamin D deficiency start taking vitamin D make sure you also take magnesium vitamin K2 zinc and B6 as the co-actors to prevent any issues
and just to help it work better thanks for watching and I will see you in the next video
