AleTHIS is the time to start thinking about vitamin D 💛🌞!!! Vitamin D receptors are found throughout your whole body, including your brain & immune cells. It supports serotonin-related pathways/ mood, immune defense, bone health, muscle function, inflammatory regulation, metabolic health, reproductive health & soo much more. It also helps activate antimicrobial peptides like cathelicidin + defensins (aka part of your innate immune system’s first line of defense). Since Vit D is fat soluble, your body can store it. Highly rec taking advantage of stronger UV now, because your skin’s ability to make vitamin D drops through fall & winter! What I’m personally doing: - I got a 25-hydroxy vitamin D blood test so I know where I’m starting (my doc personally likes me above 50 ideally 60-80 ng/mL) - Daily walks + time outside (1 hour minimum) - Eating more vitamin D-rich foods (salmon, sardines, egg yolks, mushrooms, liver) - Supplementing ahead with a good liposomal vitamin D - Making sure magnesium is in a good place since it’s involved in vitamin D activation (underrated!!!) #vitamind #magnesium #sunexposure #immunesupport #moodsupport
