- Dr. Jeffrey Brown explains the importance of Vitamin D and how a deficiency can cause problems with health and healing. Optimal levels of vitamin D range from 60-80 ng/mL. Have your doctor look into this to see if you are deficient so you can take the necessary steps to help your body perform better.

My test came back with 21.4
I have been having mental issues due to it.
Insomnia, anxiety, panic attacks, fatigue, brain fog, loss of appetite, and deep depression. All of this is because I am a graveyard shift worker. 8 years of it finally caught up to me.
Please listen to this advocacy. It’s not a joke. If you got to Africa where most inhabitants have over 40 levels, they never have autoimmune disease
Dark skinned ppl in sunny climates have low Vit D levels as melatonin makes their skin darker to avoid being burned by the sun & so they also end up with a a deficiency. If everyone in the world took the proper amount of D there would be almost no need for hospitals! Thats WHY we are not told to take it, would cause the healthcare system to crash & all the money these bastards like BillyGates would lose would be crazy! #FollowTheMoney #CrimesAgainstHumanity
Oh my word😤 my so called doctor told me my levels were normal too. The numbers came back at 42. He stated I didn't need to supplement, due to having toxicity brought on. No wonder I'm still tired, Irritable, and have foggy brain. Today's Doctor's just don't really give a flame. It's best to be your own damn advocate.
It best to let him know as well. I have my patients on a supplement and rechecked after 3 - 4 months. Also - remember sunlight is a good thing especially now that our days are shorter.
Thank you Dr Brown. I only heard about this aspect of Vit D the past few weeks, so have upped my levels. I, m now up to 8,000iu a day, which I know is not massive, but I am building up gradually. Already I am feeling improvements: more energy, and a couple of minor injuries that healed way quicker than I had expected, I am 61 now, so was getting used to things slowing down........... not any more !! That is crazy about the Tourette's, who would have thought that ? amazing... I recently got diagnosed with ADD, so hopefully it may help with that too. I refuse to take poison amphetamines at my age. I doubt very much if I can get my Vit D levels tested in the UK, especially with all the COVID madness, so I will just have to keep researching and experimenting. That is 2 of your videos that have been a big help to me, so I subscribed, thanks again Jeffrey.
Thank you so much for watching, subscribing and sharing your story! We will be posting more videos in the new year. Happy holidays to you! - Sleep & TMJ Therapy
Thank you Dr Brown to share your knowledge about vitamin D..
D3/K2 by KForce is the one I recommend to my own clients. Also, D3 can lead to a magnesium deficiency so supplementing with Magnesium L Threonate will do your body good. Another one is a full B complex vitamin otherwise you can end up with neuropathy. Taking an additional amount of Pantothenic Acid- B5 is also beneficial for deep sleep since both D3 and B5 is needed by the brain to create acetylcholine so the body can become paralyzed during deep sleep. There are many consequences of inadequate deep sleep such as waking up frequently to use the bathroom since anti-diuretic hormone cannot be made unless the body is in deep sleep. D3 deficiency in children can cause a host of developmental issues as well so make sure your children get enough sunlight and or supplementation as needed. Much more to this, but hope this helps someone. BTW, I'm an exercise physiologist with nearly 3 decades of training in functional medicine.
Some wonderful information there my friend, thank you.
Are you trained by Dr Gominak? 😁
@@willb249 haha I'm on Gominak's Protocol right now and had the same thought. Almost in my last month of B50.
Anyone reading these comments should check out her work and know not to take that dose for longer than three months.
Jesus so just be a walking supplement cabinet
Can a level of 25 cause severe insomnia and lack of deep sleep just vivid dreams no deep sleep and racing heart?
Good work doc! Keep it up!
Thanks, will do!
Thank you
THANK you so much for POSTING this. Yes suffering is the word 🙏🇨🇦
Thank you for your comment, Zoi!
What are your symptoms?
After years now I am figuring this out. Many doctors and not one of them was able to give me answers
How are you now
After having a fever and wet cough 10 weeks ago and still feeling fatigued, cold symptoms, and insomnia the doctor found I was extremely low in Vitamin D. I started taking supplement and hope it helps. It is suspected Covid but not sure.
How come I never heard about this therapy before.
My son will be 14 years old next month and had speech therapy since he was a toddler without much improvement.
He fits all the description; mouth breather, por sleep, tics, earwax that is very dry and impossible go get out and much more.
Now I can finally try to find him the help he needs.
Thank you for your message and we are so happy this video helped steer you in the correct direction. We wish your son the best of luck in his journey to health. If you need anything at all, please do not hesitate to contact us. Our email is office@sleepandtmjtherapy.com
I wish I could take him to your clinic but we’re in Las Vegas so I found a place in town and hopefully they are as knowledgeable as you.
@@gigiguzman2747 How are things now Gigi ?
Is eczema due to low D? I have it with D just around 40
Thank you for giving us the information keeping us educated when covid hit my we really didn't know anything about the virus we just practice prevention my son had pretty bad symptoms he was just about covid free when he went to the Banner hospital emergency room where they told him he had pneumonia by the third day of taking the meds which were antibiotics and prednisone I had to call 911 he was intubated and he died and I did not know what happened I went to the hospital information portal where I found that he had been giving it wrong diagnosis the doctor that prescribed the medication failed to see all the report that report said 40 years old no underlying conditions all the vitals were good he was breathing good the doctor that checked his lung set the lungs were clear the X-ray said that it was vague what you was actually looking at what's a recovering covid patient not pneumonia but she saw covenant automatically assume pneumonia like I said he was just about free of covid so she lowered his immune system in the car took over she was an negligent she was in a hurry to get him out she didn't look read the report it would have been better if she would have sent him home with covid information and follow up with his primary care physician he would have been alive today he was just about covid free and she killed them now all I can do is warn people do not go to Banner hospital emergency room I'm sure there's good hospitals out there but not this one do your research and stay safe
We are so terribly sorry for your loss. We have never heard of the hospital you are speaking of however, we wish you hope and strength with this unfathomable pain you must be experiencing.
Good morning Dr. I recently got my results back. Turns out my vitamin D is at 15. I purchased vitamin D3 2000IU I started to take 2 pills before bedtime. However, I'm not sure if that's enough. Is it better to take it in the morning?
Take it in the morning it regulates melatonin so take magnesium glycinate at night and take d3/k2 with nutritional yeast
@@VicDamoneJr82 Thank you!!
@@VicDamoneJr82 it can help people sleep. Some take it at night.
How much magnesium to take at night btw??
I have not slept naturally since last March.....now I have to take klonopin to sleep and it is making me sick and addicted what can I do?
My level is 34ng , How much should I take daily ? Thank you
We like our patients' level to be around 60ng/ml. Definitely, consult your primary care doctor.
How long does it take for Vitamin D to get depleted in the body?
Great question however, there is no set answer unfortunately. Some sources say that Vitamin D can deplete half of its supply within 15 days however, this does not take in count of the stored Vitamin D in the body. In our practice we see that our patients are running very low on Vitamin D when their bloodwork is analyzed. If you are not sleeping well, always getting sick and/or healing slowly, definitely look in to having a Vitamin D Test. We use this company: www.ultawellness.com/Shop/Items/Item/Cardio-IQ-Vitamin-D-25-Hydroxy-LC-MS-MS?q=Mg%3D%3D
I last measured last winter at 184 nmol/l so converted to ng it’s 74 ng was doing 7000-8500 iu plus 100-200 mcg k2
So given I’m optimal what should be my dose now as I do not want to be excess
It is best to consult your primary care doctor but with our patients I generally stick to 5,000 IUs with 100 mcg of K2. I also ask for testing again in 3 -4 months.
@@SleepTMJTherapyVienna that makes perfect sense .. last time I checked it was 75 ng an usually I was taking 7000-8000 iu 100-200 mcg k2
It was a year ago.. I heard vitamin d with generally same dose doesn’t keep going higher in ur body it plateaus an stays the same unless u dose even higher
I'm at 7 Ng/ml. My doctor just put me on 50,000 iu per week. I clench my jaw at night, I have tension, anxiety, bone aches, random sweating, red skin, and I'm sure more symptoms. I'm excited to see where I'll be a year from now to learn from this experience. Who would think something so simple could have such an effect on the body?
I'm repeating myself but you REALLY need to visit drgominak.com and work with her. Buy a good B-conplex. Good luck!
Do u have sleep problems too ?. Because my levels are exactly like yours
Take it with nutritional yeast and mg glycinate take k2 with the D3
@@abdojabboulieh6605 I can't sleep more than 2-3 hours before waking up. And dizziness and panic are to the absolute extreme.
Hi Doc is 10.000Ui & 200K2 too high?
Great question! It all depends on what your current D levels are. Have a you had a Vitamin D test completed yet?
@@SleepTMJTherapyVienna i take 10000u D3 with 100mcg of K2. 200 is ok but kinda overkill as it isn't cheap as you know. I have been on this dose for 3 years with no ill ellect. Levels around 180 ng. No cold, flu or anything and just had a shoulder replacement and the doctor can't explain the healing. Now he can and I think all of his patients will be on High levels of D3 now.
@@joyfulpreterist7532 That is great information, thank you!
@@SleepTMJTherapyVienna My 25 D hydroxy was 40 before I started Vit D. is 10k20k D3 too much?
@@joyfulpreterist7532 I have low D levels and didn’t need a shoulder replacement
My level is 16 ng .I feel less sleep,bone pain, muscle pain,all day headaches, anxiety.is it my level rise upto 70 I feel better ?
In general the healing point would be 60-70 ng/ml. I would consult with your doctor and get your vitamin D levels up.
@@SleepTMJTherapyVienna is curre all my problems with 70 level?
@@dyficpim2163 We do not know you nor have your medical history nor are we treating you so unfortunately we have no idea if vitamin D will cure everything you are experiencing.
@@SleepTMJTherapyVienna my physical level is okay. I do all check-up .all blood check-up,mri, all is okay . I'm feeling severe anxiety only.is it cure raising vitamin d level @ 70
@@dyficpim2163 check dr berg research up to 100k with magnesium 10:1. Again google it heard 2000-3000 mg if you have deficiency both with omega 3 at least 2000 mg
Is 22 low ?
Yes
30,000 a day is it good
May I ask you how long you have been on that amount ? I am only on about 8,000iu a day.
30 k is good to restore your levels but 10 a day is better once your sleeping well
@@VicDamoneJr82 Thank you so much, I needed to hear that confirmation. I was on 20,000 a day for a month or so, but now dropped to 10,000 a day.
Mine is at 10.
Start buying 5,000iu d3 with k2 (k7)
And take once or twice a day. After a fatty meal.
With all due respect, Vitamin D is not a hormone, but CAN be transformed in the body into a hormone called "Calcitriol".
In a study, they gave patients Calcitriol and they did not get the full effect of Vitamin D.
So they gave Calcidiol (the Vitamin D metabolite that is stored in the body), and they still did not get the full effect.
Only when they gave true Vitamin D (Colecalciferol), did they get the expected effects.
Source please.
It’s a hormone champ
Thank you
I have not slept naturally since last March.....now I have to take klonopin to sleep and it is making me sick and addicted what can I do?
We are sorry to hear you are not sleeping well. See a sleep specialist and have a sleep study done to see what is going on. We don't recommend pills to our patients. Once the sleep specialist has the results, they will be able to give you several recommendations. Recommendations typically include, create a bedtime routine (go to be the same time every night and get up at the same time every morning), no alcohol, exercise or caffeine before bed, create an optimal sleeping environment (dark room, quiet, comfortable), meditate to relax, possibly use a sleep appliance if there is an apnea problem and so on.
@@SleepTMJTherapyVienna I think it is anxiety.....and I cannot take SSRI"S.....I do go to bed at the same time and I do not drink caffiene and no alcohol.....I think it is hormones....but I am 76
@@dianelindenberger6941 It could be anxiety due to everything going on in the world. Either way, it would help to see a sleep specialist so you can have an at-home sleep test just to rule out a sleep disorder.
@@SleepTMJTherapyVienna I do not have sleep disorder.....my mother just died too....but even before that I had trouble sleeping......would Lexapro help? it is an SSRI......
@@dianelindenberger6941 We are sorry to hear about your mother. We do not prescribe medication at our office as we use dental sleep appliances so we would unfortunately not be able to answer that. We hope you start sleeping well soon. If we can be of further help, please let us know!
