Please help me.. Im stuck at my weight from past 15 days.. I do intermittent fast where I eat eggs, ghee, chicken, salami and some veggies by turn. Also, I have done drastic callorie deficit in my regular intake. Yet, I am not losing weight. Im so disappointed.. Please help. Im suffering from 9.4 h1b1ac.. But havent started my meds. As my doctor has advised to continue with the diet and get a repeat of it after 3 months.. Where am I going wrong ??
@@donswarthout3603 I dont eat beef. Bacon I tried, but didnt fancy much.. When they say increase fat intake by 70percent of your meal.. Do they mean butter, oil, cheese and animal fat and more oil... Avacados are very expensive in our country... Geeee what shall I eat but eggs!!?? ..
Joyanne Higginbottom, My mom also gave my siblings and me Seven Seas Cod Liver oil every morning when we were growing up; I never liked the taste but had to swallowed it! I think in those days most mothers gave their children Cod Liver oil!
Cod Liver Oil is exceptionally sensitive to oxidation and when it is spoiled it is very unhealthy. What your Mother gave you was not good if it tasted bad. I buy the freshest cans of cod livers in their own oil from Iceland and keep them in the fridge till I consume them. I like to eat this with a variety of other stuff, but it is a matter of taste of course. Once the can is opened, it must be consumed within two days and kept refrigerated. I grew up on the seashore so fishy stuff is 'mother's milk to me' :)
I just want to thank you so very much. I am 65 years old. I have done everything wrong for the last 45 years or more. The turnaround has been nothing short of awesome and I’m sure I’ve had a little of the Lord’s help scratch that a lot of large help but you have sure been a wonderful source of information, thank you so very much my friend things are going great
This is SO informative! I can’t understand why we’re always told to “check with your doctor or PCP” when they know nothing about being healthy. They only know about disease, drugs, and surgeries, which admittedly sometimes are necessary. But in many circumstances, probably more than we realize is not necessary and supporting our natural healing process is more powerful although it may take a bit longer. Thank you for this important education!
I'm of Hispanic descent, olive skinned and suffered from SAD for years. Tried full spectrum lights, tanning booth, xi country skiing, an winter spin classes. The depression was elusive. My doctor wanted to prescription Prozac or something. I said no way! One day my wife came home with a bottle of D3. She talked to a pharmacist. It didn't work immediately, but after a couple of days it was miraculous. I take 2k mg religiously, for twenty years now. Only time depression returns is if I miss doses during dreary winter days.

When my Vitamin D level was at 20 ng/mL, every year I required antibiotics to survive respiratory infections b/c I don't have a spleen (lost in a car accident). After bumping it up to 52 ng/mL, which wasn't easy, I never needed antibiotics again.
BINGO ! Been taking cod liver oil every day for several years. No flu, even corona, no colds, super low allergies, which used to be very bad, and I think it does great with vision and dry eyes.
@Girl Sage I dont believe omega 3 fish oil contains vitamin D....but I am no expert...I just remember being told to watch out for the cod liver oil ..too much vitamin A...it is loaded with it and your body cant get rid of so it stores it in the liver.
I began taking lemon 🍋 flavored Norwegian cod liver oil last year...really helps my eyes stay moist in the dry heat of winter. Also give it to my Labrador and it seems to be helping. ✅

The Sun is very intense now. In some countries, it is causing an increase in skin cancer and blinding field sheep and rabbits. In the Mediterranean Sea local fishermen suffer from eye cataracts and blindness. When the sun is too intense , people wear light jackets or long sleeve shirts. Exposing your arms to intense sun light daily, will cause skin cancer over a period of time, depending on its intensity. People think I am strange for wearing a light jacket during the summer. I am ex-military. I have lived in climates that cause skin cancer and blindness. I have learned to make the sun my friend. I always wear good UV sunglasses and sun screen, and long sleeve shirts and light summer jackets.
@@ave649 skin cancer rates have increased since sunscreens, by a lot! Theres strong evidence now that sunscreen might cause cancer, look it up. The common ingriedients in most sunscreens also mess with your hormones when its absorbed, in a man they could potentially lower testosterone levels, where as vit D increases testosterone. Burning is bad though, but we need the sun, were supposed to be in the sun.. you cant get enough vit d without it naturally. Thing is we were once outside all yr, so by the time summer came around you would of built a base tan, you wouldnt of burnt before like people would do now. But in saying that people dont go in the sun like they once did, like in the 70's and 80's where having a tan was a must! i went to German are of Majorca 11 yrs ago, Germans are notoriously known for loving a tan, yet they were all under umbrellas! the two weeks i was there most of them stayed milky white, yet we have much higher cancer rates now! doesnt seem to make sense if way less people are tanning
@@boneTHUGS111 Thanks for the reply. It's good to find people who know how dangerous the sun is. I once saw a UV index chart of earth. The UV index is very high at the equator, but as we move closer to the poles the UV index decreases to a safe limit close to the poles. Some thing to think about. I live in Canada so I'm fairly safe. Skin cancer kills. It can't be taken lightly. Bist du ein Deutchlander ? Ich bin ein Norweigen.
If you eat a LOT of it, might be helpful to look into Ghee (easy to make your own "clarified butter", takes out the milk solids, which is what does, if you eat enough, clog up the arteries) well being @Wanda
Grass fed butter (K2) and fat soluble vitamins A and D are the building blocks for teeth, I eat grass fed butter with good quality cod liver oil such as rosita and I can see my teeth have remineralised within hours. This is the true way to keep teeth strong, not fluoride.
I went low carb 12 years ago. At the time I had degenerative bone disease in my right foot. I was told nothing could be done, and I would be in a wheelchair by around age 55 or 56. Every step for years was painful and I was on my feet all day. When I went low carb I started eating butter in massive amounts. The cravings were crazy. Then one day walking down the stairs I realized the pain was gone. The bone disease was gone. It was around that time my butter consumption dropped to more reasonable amounts. I am convinced it was something in the butter which helped. But I was also eating more foods with vitamin K2 in them. I am now in my mid 60s and I can hop on that foot.
All the patients I have worked with who have Cancer, have ALL had D3 test levels in the single digits or low teens! I cannot stress enough, that people get tested annually for the correct 25-OH vitamin D-3 test! Then EAT CORRECT foods to help raise their D levels and supplement with a great brand, like the Standard Process one you recommend, or another professional brand they can buy through their DC, ND, Nutritional Therapist or other practitioners. Thanks Dr E! You really rock at teaching people!
As I’ve said, your explanations are so incredibly clear, logical and informed, that I wish my primary care physician were as smart. Instead, he just wants to pump me full 0f pharmaceutical chemicals. I have refused and rather have been following you and others. The results are stellar. Thank you, thank you , thank you for explaining!
Scotty G So true, so true, so true! I have had it with doctors who have NO NUTRITIONAL TRAINING. They literally killed my soul with their STATINS, PAIN MEDICINES, and I did not have IBS, I had an obstructed BILE DUCT. You cannot imagine the PAIN. I begged my husband to shoot me. Eight years of once a month visits to the emergency room which took at least 6-10 hours. It’s the insurance companies who won’t approve an MRI WITH CONTRAST! What the heck am I paying $24,000 a year for?
Scotty G They make money off of selling drugs they have no idea of the side effects. I wish they could walk a mile in my shoes 👠; I can barely walk in my own shoes.
My grandfather told me that his parents would line the kids up and give them a spoonful of cod liver oil every day during the winter. They probably didn’t know exactly why but they knew it was good for them and helped prevent sickness.
My current doctor's nurse practitioner told me that I would need to spend all day in the sun in the my swim trunks. Others told me 15 minutes at noon. I live in east Texas.
I had been on a lowfat diet for years until I had my blood tested and found that my bloodwork showed I was two points away from the lowest number of the cholesterol chart. Since being on the extreme end of the cholesterol chart, I researched these effects and found that sustained low cholesterol in an indicator of cancer. I read a book called Supermarket Remedies which informed me about dangers of low cholesterol diet among other things.

Thank you for this very informative video. I avoided butter because I can not find one without trans fat. Why can I not find butter without trans-fat? Why does FDA allow trans-fat in food if their sole purpose is to preserve the product.
Excellent presentation- I was under 20 and have been taking 5000 IU/day along with K2. At 9 weeks later, I’m finally at 35 level. Thank you for the Cataplexy info. Also interesting is that I seem to crave more butter ☺️. My fatigue has not improved that much still, but just a little better currently.

Hello fellow health champion. I appreciate your holistic approach. I have used many of your approaches with my medical team at the Veterans Affairs Medical Centers.

I'm in Las Vegas and of Norwegian descent, my Vitamin D is < 20 every time tested. I'm never sick, have strong bones, no inflammation or pain. Cod liver oil seems worth trying. 👍🤔💪
I had a high calcium scoring level and analyzed why could that be and realized 2 things. 1- the blood pressure pill I was taking uses hydrochlorothiazide which causes the body to keep the excess calcium in the blood stream. 2- other reason also could be the Parathyroid hormone function as you mentioned in this video as well.
My dad brought home 3 quart bottles of cod liver oil every fall. I am 78 years old and I am in awe of my father’s intelligent decisions. 3 kids in the family and we had a special spoon that we only used for the CLO!!! Haha!
As a person who shows borderline deficiency on blood tests I would be interested to learn your opinion on balancing the fish oil toxicity risk against the benefit of daily supplementation. Generally speaking the US reccomended level is lower than European. Do you have any comments on this? I would also like to learn what you have to say about the relationship between D3 and K2. I currently supplement with a d3/k2 combination. I appreciate your videos very much, they are providing a hugely useful public service. Thank you!!
14:48 a little correction from a biologist. It is widely accepted that mushroom has its own kingdom (Fungi) for a while now. Simply, mushroom is not a plant.
I live in Florida and am also fair skinned. A dermatologist who trained at the Mayo Clinic and treated me, said all I needed was 15 mins of sun at a time. After 15 mins, according to him, the body’s cell receptors shut down to any further vitamin D.
Living in Sweden I got my first sunburn this year around 25 th february. Having a hard time believing you dont produce Vitamin D when you get suntanned even sunburned. Of course I ve got a southfacing balcony with a great windbreaker and I get of work before noon. Lunch and Dinner in the sun evry sunny day from febryary 15 th to 1 th november. Suntanned 2-3 month before evryone else evry year. Strongly recomended. More energy and slimmer waistline. If you dont have an soutfacing backyard or balcony, move! Longer life, no cancer, no diabetes, no stroke.
Dr. Sten... I recently discovered your channel a few weeks ago and every video you have made is densely packed with information. I am a firm believer of food-is-medicine and you-are-what-you-eat. Your knowledge and wisdom on nutrition is totally priceless! I will be trying your recommendations on Cataplex D and Cod Liver Oil. I know not all supplements are the same and you help clear the fog out of confusion. Please keep your video's coming as they are gems -Thank you :)
Hi Dr Ekberg, As a subscribed member I watch every one of your videos that come to my email… and others of yours. What I appreciate most is your ability to convey body chemistry in a way I can understand. I am an 'evidence-based' kind of guy, and you seem to me to have done your research about what you convey. When you have an opinion, you are clear about it (a rare trait on the Internet, I find) which encourages me to trust what I'm watching. I get that supplements are far from your favourite means to health. Mine neither. However, as a 77 year old, with the limiting abilities that accompany age, I take vitamin B12 (which tests show have brought me back from deficiency), and 2000 IU of vitamin D3. In this video you refer to one study which suggests D supplementation is not effective. You don't mention if it was D3 or D2. And that's the only study you mention as I recall. Have you come across other evidence regarding vitamin D supplements I should check?
Thanks for all this great information. I was also told that the sun needed to be at a >°45 in order to produce vitamin D, so morning and evening exposure was insufficient.
I have hunted and picked the Golden Chanterelle mushroom in the wood, and they are delicious! I make a cream of mushroom soup or I will sauté them in butter and eat them on a steak. Dr. Ekberg is correct that to buy them is very expensive...about $80-90 per lb!
The foods start at about 11:40. I eat mostly fish A vegetarian would shun at some of these foods. I go to my condo in sunny Mexico, often. BUT, I get a bit sick if I lie in the sun for too long and I'm assuming its partly because of my fatty liver, although its getting better since I follow a healthier diet on what you say for a fatty liver. Excellent info on vitamin D.!
THANK GOD!! IM SO GLAD!! ❤️ I'm so worried about my daughter she's low in vitamin D, she's been taking it for about a month but not feeling better yet 😞
@@charliechurch5004 It takes a while to build to a proper level in the blood. Your daughter might want to get outdoors in the sun if that’s possible for her. I hope she’s better soon.
I got skin cancer from being in the sun to much my Doctor told me not to go out in the sun any more should I get D from supplements and for get the sun

Vitamin D seems to be easy to aquire because it is found in my favorite foods! Ribs with mushrooms sauteed in butter can be eaten every day. Great video! I really like this channel.
Im from Eastern Europe near the Black Sea. We have the Atlantic Mackerel and its also very cheap. I eat it every day and watching these videos and all this constant praising of the makerel actually makes me really happy :D
Hello doctor and all the health champions you read me. I would be happy if what you say in this or in your other videos is based on research that confirms it and whether there are patients who have applied it and been treated. With much love from Greece. A follower of yours.
Dr. Ekberg. Your TH-cam videos are very helpful. I always have a question in my mind when I watch videos like this. Does heat reduce vitamin D from these top 10 foods? I don't remember you mentioned the impact of heat to these foods. For example, after eggs, butter, mushrooms, fish and meat are cooked, how much vitamin D is left? Thanks in advance for taking your time to answer my question.
Almost all the vitamin D in cod liver oil is destroyed in processing (molecular distillation & winterization) so they fortify it with synthetic vitamin D after processing. Same is true of the natural vitamin A (retinol). Two brands that are highly recommended (and are the only two I trust) are Rosita Extra Virgin CLO & Jigsaw Wild Alaskan CLO. They contain nothing synthetic.
Dr. Ekberg, thank you for your awesome information. I am very dark skinned AA and have legit VD levels in my blood. I think the reason we are seeing low numbers is due to hepatic issues that run rampant in our community. I'm an exercise physiologist and I'm researching this issue. I'll post findings to this page. Keep up the great work.
Dr. your videos are full of information but try to make it short in between 5 to 10 min. long, because current trend to listen or watch shorts instead of too long. this is only a advise thanks,
Calcitonin is not the hormone from the parathyroid, the parathyroid produces PTH. Calcitonin is produced by the thyroid. Did dr. Ekberg missspeak again? Quite a serious mistake (around 4:25).
I misspoke at 3:32. There is a card there saying what I meant: "Vitamin B and C are water soluble". I guess everyone knows I am human now.😀

Exposing your arms to intense sun light daily, will cause skin cancer over a period of time, depending on its intensity. People think I am strange for wearing a light jacket during the summer. I am ex-military. I have lived in climates that cause skin cancer and blindness. I have learned to make the sun my friend. I always wear good UV sunglasses and sun screen, and long sleeve shirts and light summer jackets.
@@ave649 skin cancer rates have increased since sunscreens, by a lot! Theres strong evidence now that sunscreen might cause cancer, look it up. The common ingriedients in most sunscreens also mess with your hormones when its absorbed, in a man they could potentially lower testosterone levels, where as vit D increases testosterone. Burning is bad though, but we need the sun, were supposed to be in the sun.. you cant get enough vit d without it naturally. Thing is we were once outside all yr, so by the time summer came around you would of built a base tan, you wouldnt of burnt before like people would do now. But in saying that people dont go in the sun like they once did, like in the 70's and 80's where having a tan was a must! i went to German are of Majorca 11 yrs ago, Germans are notoriously known for loving a tan, yet they were all under umbrellas! the two weeks i was there most of them stayed milky white, yet we have much higher cancer rates now! doesnt seem to make sense if way less people are tanning
@@boneTHUGS111 Thanks for the reply. It's good to find people who know how dangerous the sun is. I once saw a UV index chart of earth. The UV index is very high at the equator, but as we move closer to the poles the UV index decreases to a safe limit close to the poles. Some thing to think about. I live in Canada so I'm fairly safe. Skin cancer kills. It can't be taken lightly. Bist du ein Deutchlander ? Ich bin ein Norweigen.
One of the many reasons I love my country. Ethiopia is 13 months of sunshine. The sun never stop shining, even in the rainy and snowy season.
A light skinned person like me would fry in Ethiopia. I'd never survive. I was built for cloudy countries :D
Wow
I like that
13 months?

I LOVE butter! I consume a LOT of it. Now I will feel less guilty about it. Thanks, Dr. Ekburg!
If you eat a LOT of it, might be helpful to look into Ghee (easy to make your own "clarified butter", takes out the milk solids, which is what does, if you eat enough, clog up the arteries) well being @Wanda
Grass fed butter (K2) and fat soluble vitamins A and D are the building blocks for teeth, I eat grass fed butter with good quality cod liver oil such as rosita and I can see my teeth have remineralised within hours. This is the true way to keep teeth strong, not fluoride.
I went low carb 12 years ago. At the time I had degenerative bone disease in my right foot. I was told nothing could be done, and I would be in a wheelchair by around age 55 or 56. Every step for years was painful and I was on my feet all day.
When I went low carb I started eating butter in massive amounts. The cravings were crazy. Then one day walking down the stairs I realized the pain was gone. The bone disease was gone. It was around that time my butter consumption dropped to more reasonable amounts. I am convinced it was something in the butter which helped. But I was also eating more foods with vitamin K2 in them.
I am now in my mid 60s and I can hop on that foot.
All the patients I have worked with who have Cancer, have ALL had D3 test levels in the single digits or low teens! I cannot stress enough, that people get tested annually for the correct 25-OH vitamin D-3 test! Then EAT CORRECT foods to help raise their D levels and supplement with a great brand, like the Standard Process one you recommend, or another professional brand they can buy through their DC, ND, Nutritional Therapist or other practitioners. Thanks Dr E! You really rock at teaching people!
As I’ve said, your explanations are so incredibly clear, logical and informed, that I wish my primary care physician were as smart. Instead, he just wants to pump me full 0f pharmaceutical chemicals. I have refused and rather have been following you and others. The results are stellar. Thank you, thank you , thank you for explaining!
Most Doctors are NOTHING But PILL PUSHERS MY DOCTOR NEVER NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT CALCIUM OR VITAMIN D THANKS

Scotty G So true, so true, so true! I have had it with doctors who have NO NUTRITIONAL TRAINING. They literally killed my soul with their STATINS, PAIN MEDICINES, and I did not have IBS, I had an obstructed BILE DUCT. You cannot imagine the PAIN. I begged my husband to shoot me. Eight years of once a month visits to the emergency room which took at least 6-10 hours. It’s the insurance companies who won’t approve an MRI WITH CONTRAST! What the heck am I paying $24,000 a year for?
Scotty G They make money off of selling drugs they have no idea of the side effects. I wish they could walk a mile in my shoes 👠; I can barely walk in my own shoes.
You do understand that your doc is trained and owned by the drug companies. He isn't paid to heal you. In fact, quite the opposite.
Thank you Dr Ekberg, your YT channel is gold. You are a blessings. ❤️
My grandfather told me that his parents would line the kids up and give them a spoonful of cod liver oil every day during the winter. They probably didn’t know exactly why but they knew it was good for them and helped prevent sickness.
My current doctor's nurse practitioner told me that I would need to spend all day in the sun in the my swim trunks. Others told me 15 minutes at noon. I live in east Texas.
Ask her how humans made it this long without suppliments then ?
Thank you Sir Finally we eat butter. Because they made us scare of Colestrol
I never even looked at it when am shopping...but now it's my favourite!
I looove butter... Ive been eating ir all my life. Im 57 and have had many significante falls and have never broken a bone... Thank God!
I never quit butter 🧈 I eat what my body craves . I eat a regular home made diet! Working for me!
Ancel Keys was an economist who knew nothing about nutrition and killed millions with his lies about saturated fats.
If you look to see what margarine is made, I stick to butter, more natural.
I had been on a lowfat diet for years until I had my blood tested and found that my bloodwork showed I was two points away from the lowest number of the cholesterol chart. Since being on the extreme end of the cholesterol chart, I researched these effects and found that sustained low cholesterol in an indicator of cancer. I read a book called Supermarket Remedies which informed me about dangers of low cholesterol diet among other things.

Thank you for the information! Wonder why I feel so much better with my arthritis during the summer when I am outside under the Sun Light.👍💖
What a great methodical explanation of Vitamin D. Great presentation!
butter causes a heartatack , eggs contain cholesterol, beef meat female eggs, salmon contain plumbum ...
Thank you for this very informative video. I avoided butter because I can not find one without trans fat. Why can I not find butter without trans-fat? Why does FDA allow trans-fat in food if their sole purpose is to preserve the product.
English is my second language but i Understand you perfectly and very helpful thanks
Excellent presentation- I was under 20 and have been taking 5000 IU/day along with K2.
At 9 weeks later, I’m finally at 35 level. Thank you for the Cataplexy info. Also interesting is that I seem to crave more butter ☺️. My fatigue has not improved that much still, but just a little better currently.
how did you get it up?
@@meggi8048 just as I said- I take D3 with K2 everyday along with an omega 3 or cod liver oil supplement because D3 is a fat soluble.

I'm in Las Vegas and of Norwegian descent, my Vitamin D is < 20 every time tested. I'm never sick, have strong bones, no inflammation or pain. Cod liver oil seems worth trying. 👍🤔💪
It’s fat soluble so you need to take along with fat. I take it along with omega 3. My levels from below 20 has risen to 35 so far.
What do I say to people who discourage me from eating real butter. I’ve been told to eat margarine instead. 😵💫 Because of the Cholesterol.
PRAISE JESUS..SO GOOOOOD LISTENING TO YOU..THANKYOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP
DzIękuję za wspaniały wykład dr.Ekberg
Does heating butter or cooking meat remove any of the D? Thx.
I had a high calcium scoring level and analyzed why could that be and realized 2 things. 1- the blood pressure pill I was taking uses hydrochlorothiazide which causes the body to keep the excess calcium in the blood stream. 2- other reason also could be the Parathyroid hormone function as you mentioned in this video as well.
What!! Cod liver oil? Thank you Dr. Ekberg. 🙂
My dad brought home 3 quart bottles of cod liver oil every fall. I am 78 years old and I am in awe of my father’s intelligent decisions. 3 kids in the family and we had a special spoon that we only used for the CLO!!! Haha!
As a person who shows borderline deficiency on blood tests I would be interested to learn your opinion on balancing the fish oil toxicity risk against the benefit of daily supplementation. Generally speaking the US reccomended level is lower than European. Do you have any comments on this? I would also like to learn what you have to say about the relationship between D3 and K2. I currently supplement with a d3/k2 combination. I appreciate your videos very much, they are providing a hugely useful public service. Thank you!!
14:48 a little correction from a biologist. It is widely accepted that mushroom has its own kingdom (Fungi) for a while now. Simply, mushroom is not a plant.
I think he just meant it's not from an an animal.

How to take vitamin D supplements? With food or empty stomach?
Thanks
I live in Florida and am also fair skinned. A dermatologist who trained at the Mayo Clinic and treated me, said all I needed was 15 mins of sun at a time. After 15 mins, according to him, the body’s cell receptors shut down to any further vitamin D.
depends on certain variables. the body tells you when it's done by your skin feeling prickly.
I thought body make D according to need
Living in Sweden I got my first sunburn this year around 25 th february. Having a hard time believing you dont produce Vitamin D when you get suntanned even sunburned. Of course I ve got a southfacing balcony with a great windbreaker and I get of work before noon. Lunch and Dinner in the sun evry sunny day from febryary 15 th to 1 th november. Suntanned 2-3 month before evryone else evry year. Strongly recomended. More energy and slimmer waistline. If you dont have an soutfacing backyard or balcony, move! Longer life, no cancer, no diabetes, no stroke.
Thank you So much.
I believe in receiving good health primarily from food.
As a gluten and dairy free vegetarian this information is vital.
I feel like I'm getting my PHD thanks to all your informative and remarkable advises.

The second video I have watched and liked it so much.
The best explanation I've heard so far.
Thank you JGaisah Channel. I really appreciate your feedback. 😄
Dr. Sten... I recently discovered your channel a few weeks ago and every video you have made is densely packed with information. I am a firm believer of food-is-medicine and you-are-what-you-eat. Your knowledge and wisdom on nutrition is totally priceless! I will be trying your recommendations on Cataplex D and Cod Liver Oil. I know not all supplements are the same and you help clear the fog out of confusion. Please keep your video's coming as they are gems -Thank you :)
Thanks dr
I like how he always tell us what he likes or is taking.....so we have something to go on.....I think he is great too.

Hi Dr Ekberg,
As a subscribed member I watch every one of your videos that come to my email… and others of yours. What I appreciate most is your ability to convey body chemistry in a way I can understand. I am an 'evidence-based' kind of guy, and you seem to me to have done your research about what you convey. When you have an opinion, you are clear about it (a rare trait on the Internet, I find) which encourages me to trust what I'm watching.
I get that supplements are far from your favourite means to health. Mine neither. However, as a 77 year old, with the limiting abilities that accompany age, I take vitamin B12 (which tests show have brought me back from deficiency), and 2000 IU of vitamin D3. In this video you refer to one study which suggests D supplementation is not effective. You don't mention if it was D3 or D2. And that's the only study you mention as I recall. Have you come across other evidence regarding vitamin D supplements I should check?
Thank you! Excellent presentation that answers all my questions especially “time needed to spend outside”.
Thanks for all this great information. I was also told that the sun needed to be at a >°45 in order to produce vitamin D, so morning and evening exposure was insufficient.
Solar Noon - 11:30am-2:30pm is optimum time of day.
I have hunted and picked the Golden Chanterelle mushroom in the wood, and they are delicious! I make a cream of mushroom soup or I will sauté them in butter and eat them on a steak. Dr. Ekberg is correct that to buy them is very expensive...about $80-90 per lb!
try to dry it/them and then blend...
then sprinkle on thd foods you eat... 😉👍
chanterelle myshrooms are also anti parasites...
Outstanding content! Thank you Dr. Ekberg!🐾
Its a wonderful world.. Thanks God ,for the wisdom given to Dr.Sten..Amen...
Can you add a summary for those who only have 10 mins on youtube?!
Good morning Doc, first of all, God bless you always for sharing good health for all the people watching your UTube time.
The foods start at about 11:40. I eat mostly fish A vegetarian would shun at some of these foods. I go to my condo in sunny Mexico, often. BUT, I get a bit sick if I lie in the sun for too long and I'm assuming its partly because of my fatty liver, although its getting better since I follow a healthier diet on what you say for a fatty liver. Excellent info on vitamin D.!
There are many plant nurseries that sell mushroom plugs that you can use to grow your own in a log. They do sell chanterelle plugs.
Vitamin D cured my chronic low grade depression. I’m not kidding. Having proper blood levels changed my life.
Yes, same here. Helped enormously.
THANK GOD!! IM SO GLAD!! ❤️ I'm so worried about my daughter she's low in vitamin D, she's been taking it for about a month but not feeling better yet 😞
@@charliechurch5004 It takes a while to build to a proper level in the blood. Your daughter might want to get outdoors in the sun if that’s possible for her. I hope she’s better soon.
@@charliechurch5004is she taking Vitamin K? Dr Ekberg has said that a person can’t make use of Vitamin D without Vitamin K.
We always said that my grandmother ate butter with bread. She was a smart woman. And it wasn't this gummy white bread but black dense rye
I got skin cancer from being in the sun to much my Doctor told me not to go out in the sun any more should I get D from supplements and for get the sun
Obviously yes.
does cod liver oil capsules have the same effect as the liquid?

I used to think that was enough, Now, I take 20,000 IU daily. My condition improved greatly.

Ribs with mushrooms sauteed in butter can be eaten every day.
Great video! I really like this channel.
As I'm vit D deficient, this was really helpful. Thanks Dr. Ekberg ❤
Im from Eastern Europe near the Black Sea. We have the Atlantic Mackerel and its also very cheap. I eat it every day and watching these videos and all this constant praising of the makerel actually makes me really happy :D
Hello doctor and all the health champions you read me. I would be happy if what you say in this or in your other videos is based on research that confirms it and whether there are patients who have applied it and been treated. With much love from Greece. A follower of yours.
Dr. Ekberg. Your TH-cam videos are very helpful. I always have a question in my mind when I watch videos like this. Does heat reduce vitamin D from these top 10 foods? I don't remember you mentioned the impact of heat to these foods. For example, after eggs, butter, mushrooms, fish and meat are cooked, how much vitamin D is left? Thanks in advance for taking your time to answer my question.
Almost all the vitamin D in cod liver oil is destroyed in processing (molecular distillation & winterization) so they fortify it with synthetic vitamin D after processing. Same is true of the natural vitamin A (retinol). Two brands that are highly recommended (and are the only two I trust) are Rosita Extra Virgin CLO & Jigsaw Wild Alaskan CLO. They contain nothing synthetic.
@@njsongwriter k
Dr. Ekberg, thank you for your awesome information. I am very dark skinned AA and have legit VD levels in my blood. I think the reason we are seeing low numbers is due to hepatic issues that run rampant in our community. I'm an exercise physiologist and I'm researching this issue. I'll post findings to this page.
Keep up the great work.
Dr. your videos are full of information but try to make it short in between 5 to 10 min. long, because current trend to listen or watch shorts instead of too long. this is only a advise thanks,
Calcitonin is not the hormone from the parathyroid, the parathyroid produces PTH. Calcitonin is produced by the thyroid. Did dr. Ekberg missspeak again? Quite a serious mistake (around 4:25).
Thank you for getting all this information out to people and helping guys like me staying healthy❤️
