Vitamin D Deficiency – How The Government Lied To You

What if your government lied to you about your health?  What if there was a cheap blood test covered by health insurance that could diagnose the real root of your health problems? What if there was a cheap vitamin you could buy at your pharmacy to replace your expensive prescription medications with their toxic side effects?

Where Vitamin D comes from

This little miracle vitamin is Vitamin D. For decades the United States government reported that Americans were receiving enough Vitamin D through their diet or made in their body through sun exposure. The reality was that the Western Junk Food Diet was devoid of any vitamins or minerals, obesity was increasing, and Americans were hiding in their homes and offices, away from the sun, and slathering on UV-blocking sunscreen when they were outside.

Vitamin D deficiency is a problem worldwide

Vitamin D deficiency isn’t just rampant and severe in the United States, it is a global pandemic, even in seemingly healthy adults.1 Up to 50% of humans are deficient in Vitamin D, with a higher incidence rate in chronically ill patients. Vitamin D deficiency has been linked with multiple sclerosis, migraine, depression, weight gain, cancer, Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.2-4

Even kids don’t get enough Vitamin D

Vitamin D deficiency may start at birth, making a lasting impact on health. Vitamin D deficiency in pregnant mothers is even correlated to neurodevelopmental disorders like schizophrenia and autism in their children.5,6 Finally, there was a 15x increase in Vitamin D deficiency in children between 2008 and 2014.7

Vitamin D is the most commonly ordered test

There was an 83x increase in Vitamin D testing billed to Medicare from 2000 to 2010, making it Medicare’s fifth most commonly ordered test. Yet there’s still no consensus from the Institute of Medicine on what the safe levels of Vitamin D supplementation in pill form is for achieving optimal blood levels. A group of scientists have even formed a Vitamin D council to create awareness of Vitamin D deficiency. One thing is for certain, the Recommend Daily Allowance (RDA) of 600 IU a day of Vitamin is clearly insufficient.

What else is our government hiding?

It’s up to patients to take their health in their own hands and throw out the misinformation the government feeds the public. What other simple changes could patients make to boost their health instead of popping pharmaceuticals like Tic Tacs?

Since we were lied to about Vitamin D deficiency, isn’t it possible we are also being lied to about other forms of deficiency, like endocannabinoid deficiency? The government still says cannabis is an illegal and addictive drug, but it has applications for thousands of symptoms and conditions, from migraine headache, to cancer, to epilepsy.

Want to learn about endocannabinoid deficiency? Read my book Vitamin Weed: A 4-Step Plan to Prevent and Reverse Endocannabinoid Deficiency.

Happy International Women's Day to all the women c Happy International Women's Day to all the women crushing it despite getting less pay, less startup funding, less everything when it comes to business. Let's do more than recognize women.
In 2023, it's time to:
*Buy from women-owned businesses
*Give women a seat at the table, preferably the board
*End all male speaking panels
*Invest in women startups, including those focused on serving women
*Include more women in clinical trials
*End toxic work cultures
*Support paid maternity leave policies
*Fill the wage gap between men and women
*Donate to nonprofits serving women
*Let women take time off of work for painful periods without stigma or penalty
*Work harder to specifically include and apply all of these principles to women from marginalized groups such as black women, disabled women, LGBTQ women, and females identifying as nonbinary, genderfluid, or genderqueer.
And so. much. more.

No one is giving $2 w🌱🌱d gummies to children No one is giving $2 w🌱🌱d gummies to children trick or treating on Halloween. Those reports you hear on the news simply aren’t true! ⁣
⁣
However, if you are attending a Halloween party for adults, ask if the candies, goodies, or drinks are special or infused! Edibles are more common at parties as an alternative to alcohol, especially in states where the plant has been legalized for both recreational & medical use.⁣
⁣
If you’re not used to consuming, try a small piece or half a piece, drink plenty of water, and make sure you have a safe place to sit if needed. And always call a rideshare aka Uber or Lyft home!⁣
⁣
Happy Halloween! 🎃💀👻⁣

Happy National Mushr00m Day! 🍄 ⁣ Which is you Happy National Mushr00m Day! 🍄
⁣
Which is your favorite Medicinal Mushr00m?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It's more important than ever to take mushr00m supplements. Here's a little about how my favorite four mushr00ms work:⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Lion’s Mane Mushr00ms: great for improving focus and memory. Lion's mane promotes neurogenesis, or birth of new brain cells.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Cordyceps Mushr00ms: great for fighting fatigue and increasing length of your workouts. It's especially helpful for fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue patients.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Turkey Tail Mushr00ms: great for supporting your immune system. Clinical trials have looked at its role in fighting cancer.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Reishi Mushr00ms: what can't the queen of mushr00ms do? It fights cancer, boosts the immune system, improves mood, levels blood sugar, and promotes heart health.⁣⁣

9/20 is National Magic Mushr00m Day. Why have a da 9/20 is National Magic Mushr00m Day. Why have a day to celebrate them?
Well in the United States & many parts of the world, they are still illegal, similar to another misunderstood therapeutic green plant we celebrate on 4/20. 
I've worked hard over the years in Denver & many other states to help decriminalize shr00ms and help people access information on how to use them for medical, spiritual, and stress relief purposes. I suggest following @decriminalizenature & @doubleblindmag for deeper info.
How are you celebrating today? ❤️ 🍄 ❤️

I’m not the only one, right? 😜 👩🏻‍🔬 💚
As a neuroscientist, I put out the first book on the potential causes of endocannabinoid deficiency and how to balance your ECS with or without plant medicine. 
From stress to medications to diet to your genes, there are so many ways your ECS go go haywire. The fact that so many people respond to plant medicine is likely because so many of us have severe imbalances.
