Looking back on my childhood I was probably vitamin D deficient my whole life. I was diagnosed in my 50’s when I was being tested for celiac. Also looking back at my children’s childhood and adulthood, I bet they were also. I’m going to share this video with them. Thank you!
At 76 I can’t help but reflect on how different my life would have been with this knowledge. I hope young people are sitting up and paying very close attention. I have lived with all of these symptoms my whole life and it wasn’t fun. Thank you Dr. Berg. At least I have a better understanding of unseen influences that were directing my development and choices. 🇨🇦❤️
I never gave two thoughts to needing D because I'm outdoors all day. Turns out when you have gut issues, you can't convert it into a bio available form! I've had too many of these symptoms all my life.😢
Sharing Dr Berg notes: Having low vitamin D can affect the body in a myriad of ways-it’s important to avoid becoming deficient in vitamin D. Keep in mind that any time you take vitamin D, you should also take vitamin K2. The ratio should be 100 mcg of vitamin K2 for every 10,000 IU of vitamin D3. Being vitamin D deficient is commonly associated with symptoms like: • Bone loss • Bone pain • Low immunity • Depression • High blood pressure • Inflammation • Asthma • Poor sleep Surprising signs of vitamin D deficiency: 1. Nightmares 2. Restless leg syndrome 3. Acne 4. Bipolar disorder 5. Skipped heartbeats 6. Breathing disorders 7. Psoriasis and eczema 8. Sinus issues 9. Hay fever 10. Rapid breathing in infants 11. Recurrent tonsillitis in children 12. Structural development problems in children 13. Long COVID 14. Early puberty 15. Uterine fibroids 16. Irregular menstrual cycles 17. Longer menstrual cycles 18. Urinary incontinence 19. Vertigo 20. Sarcopenia 21. Myopia 22. Glaucoma 23. Erectile dysfunction Thank You Dr Berg! 🐱👍🏿
Dr Berg!! Thank you so much for your genuine love to care for people and actually TEACH US about the body!! You and your family are in our prayers to continue no matter what RU-vid tries to do. I think I can speak for many when I say WE WILL FALLOW YOU WHEREVER YOU GO!!! I actually got a rumble account because of you. GOD bless you for truly caring to help others. 🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Dr. B, yesterday I met this pregnant lady, and she was contemplating not taking her prenatal vitamins. I referred her to your channel and briefly explained the importance of vit D during pregnancy!!!! Hopefully, it helps her 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I wish I had known all this throughout my kids and my own rearing.Forever grateful for you doctor Berg ! Followed you for around five years now and yet as I said, wish I had known all this prior....IT ALLLLLL MAKES SENSE! INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF SENSE!
Dr Berg, I’m a black woman from the UK. I’m glad you’ve mentioned some of the conditions i suffer from, uterine fibroids, perimenopause symptoms like fatigue and also vertigo. Thanks 🙏🏾 for explaining all this
Me2, hv itched most of my life - mentioned it to drs, nothing. Turns out I have allergies to certain foods, who knew... bakery breads, spicy foods and aged blue cheeses. Been taking D for years , get out in the sun regularly, and started Cod Liver oil about 5 mos ago that I thought was helpful to my skin's overall look.
Dr Berg is amazing! He sees the body as a whole vessel, he is up-to-date with the latest findings (not the big pharma devised ones) and selflessly shares all this knowledge and information without any hesitation! Go Dr Berg!
I have recently watched all of your vitamin D videos. I have suffered from so many of the symptoms of a deficiency. I have seen many doctors- none of whom suggested trying adding vitamin D. Well, I got your vitamin D just a few weeks ago. The first day I took it I felt a little better. It’s been 2 weeks now and I feel like a new person! I am sleeping well! My joint aches and pains are gone. My mind is not foggy. My deep bone pains disappeared. My tinnitus has toned down. Not gone , but much quieter. So many more things, I am truly amazed. Thank you! ❤❤❤
He’s absolutely correct! From my flat feet- to loooong periods, heart palpitations and Vertigo, that I’ve experienced myself diminishing to absolutely gone with the introduction of D3/K2 the past 4 years all have gone to include plantar fasciitis- since I went Keto and supplemented . Thank y you SO SO much Dr Berg 🦋
r vitamins that we can also take to help . I believe mine got messed up due to me being on the stupid contraception . I live a pretty healthy life I’d say so I go to the gym I do have a balanced diet , my sleep is something I need to work on 100% What can I take / buy ?
I am 59 years old and have braces and an improper jaw alignment. And as a child, I had frequent tonsillitis, hay fever, and started having myopia; sinus issues, eczema and mood problems when I was a little older ... wow, now I know why or at least a common factor!
Interestingly, almost every one of these describes me from childhood to adulthood. I'm not surprised, but it sure does explain a lot of my issues. Thanks Dr. Berg!
A Dr👨⚕ advised me to take Magnesium, D3, Vitamin K2-MK7(100mcg for every 10,000iu D3) & B6-P5P(activated-pyridoxal-5-phosphate) at the same time. ➡One important function & benefit of Vitamin D3 is that it helps the body absorb Calcium which in turn plays a part in how the body absorbs Magnesium. The levels of Vitamin B6-P5P in the body determines how much Magnesium will be absorbed into the cells. Vitamin D3 ensures calcium is absorbed easily & Vitamin K2-MK7 activates the protein, osteocalcin, which integrates Calcium into bone. Without D3 & K2, Calcium can not do its job effectively. Vitamin K2-MK7 activates matrix GLA protein (MGP) to bind excess Calcium & promote arterial flow & flexibility. ➡D3 is fat soluble so the Dr said to take all these with a meal because they'll absorb better.....
Thank you for this informative video💖 I'm 19 yo and i just discovered that i have vitD deficiency today after having many symptoms for nearly a year i'm glad that i consulted a docter this week! If not i would have strugled many years without knowing the root of these problems! I advise everyone to always consult a doctor in case of discomfort and not attribute everything to tiredness and stress!
Thank you, Dr. Berg, for giving us the proper ratio of Vitamin K2 to D3. You may have mentioned it in a past video that I missed. But the first couple of D3/K2 videos of yours that I watched (about a year ago) mentioned no ratio, so I was left to research it on my own. Glad you made it plain here.
My father has restless leg issues and is hunched over now. He takes Vit D but since the drs didn’t say to take a higher dose. He lives on carbs and doesn’t see a problem. At 89, he wont change, I’ve tried. My mom had AFib and instead of trying addl vit D, her Dr. suggested surgery to put in a Watchman and of course she went with it. I appreciate all of your information Dr. Berg.
@@ChickenTender57 Going outside isn’t enough to increase vitamin D if you’re significantly deficient. You will also run the risk of skin cancer. I need to go to the dermatologist every 6 months and she finds it every visit. I’m rarely in the sun anymore. Some people genetically don’t process vitamin D from the sun either.
Iam SO GLAD TO SEE YOU BACK , DR. BERG ! I need you and am so happy. I bet you are too because I know you care for us. I need to figure out how can get a question to you. It's really important, I know my Dr won't even listen to me. That's how it is on Medicare and medi - cal especially. Nothing new there.
I've been seeing primary Drs and other Drs for years. I like to think for the most part that I stay on top of my health and no one ever told me the importance of Vitamin D. I honestly don't mind sharing that I didn't learn about this until watching a guest on the Joe Rogan podcast speak about it relating to C19. I had to ask for a Vitamin D test and sure enough I was deficient. Be your own advocate don't just assume that your Dr is telling you everything.
I will testify that I had lower back stiffness, forearms would hurt/painful, broken rib would always hurt and there was constant pain between my shoulders before I took vitamin d. After taking VD for an extended period of time the skin on my fingers would wear away like a pair of work gloves. I reduced the amount of VD and it went away. I will also testify that when I dont take VD for a few days pain starts returning to all the areas.
My deficiency took the form of a very dry sore mouth, which I’ve not seen stated anywhere. Vit D deficiency was diagnosed after a blood test. It went as soon as i started taking the tablets.
Dr. Berg, I find it interesting that Vit D deficiency can cause wheezing, and skin irritations as Chinese medicine connects Lung and Skin issues to each other. (I guess that makes sense bc they're both epithelial tissue).
I thought my winter dose of 28.000 was too much but now I’m thinking that should be a minimum and maybe I need to nearly double that in winter months especially since I’m a brown skin person
What weird timing! I was diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency a few days ago and my doctor has told me to supplement 1000iu of vitamin D 3 times a day! Thank you doctor Berg for your insights!
I'm not sure your levels but 1000iu is a drop in the bucket. I am a nurse, and my physicians order 50000iu as a weekly dose for usually 6 weeks and drop off to 2000 to 5000iu per day. I always say listen to your doctor, but they often get this one wrong.
Also what we need to keep in mind there are certain predicaments that make us absorb less of the D3 then the rest. Things like age, the older we get the less we absorb, being overweight, having darker skin as in absorption from the sun as dark skinned folks have natural protection but also absorb way less of the D3. All those will influence how much D3 we need. From what i read in these comments on D3 on YT people have this fear they are taking too much and end up not taking enough. Doctors are sometimes to blame as the medical industry sets very low guidelines of how much we need to take. 85+ levels are needed to fight any illness successfully. I have read books about just D3 vitamin and suggest for people to really inform themselves and don’t wait for your doctor to tell you as these doctors were not trained to prescribe vitamins. They go by the guidelines they were given which are super low. Don’t forget the big Pharma don’t want to see you healthy. The sooner you accept that the better for you.
My results show '27 nmol/L' (in australia) and I have a 'mild sufficieny' My doctor had said to take it 3 times a day with meals but considering your comment I may have to up my dosage.@@cindynorris5983
Now, here is a Dr who knows what he is talking about. Since my doctor put me on VD3, I sleep better, and have tried to stop smoking, eating eating sugar and salt and exercising more. If I had known what I now know, I might have done things differently. Not to mention the fact that thyroid issues are for me, at least, accelerators that seem to drive everything else with my body. My deepest thanks to Dr Berg for all his work on these issues…and I watch a lot of his videos to educate myself and have even changed my diet. I can’t thank him enough! ❤
Beware a vit d test is like 1500$ out of pocket and a lot of insurances will only cover the test under certain specific diagnosis. Good luck. I ended up paying 1000
Your periods are fine. Must me, I have endometriosis and my periods are 25 to 27 days every month . It is normal to have regular periods. That means you are healthy.
Before my first pregnancy my period cycle was every 21days😮 Now that I’m in my mid thirties it’s like every 28days to 35days 😂 talk about irregular…. I don’t know if it’s because I’m old or if I have any other issues.
@tea.23 Please don't worry. That is a perfect cycle. Just make sure that you don't bleed a lot and that you don't spot bleed, too. Also, that the pains aren't bad. Periods are meant to be regular. That is a healthy body.
DR BERG PLEASE RECORD YOUR OWN VIDEOS AND SAVE THEM LOCALLY ON YOUR SERVER , THIS WAY THEY ARE NOT DELETED BY RU-vid ,ALSO USE YOUR WEBSITE A LINK TO YOUR VIDEOS . USE RU-vid TO ROUTE VIEWERS TO YOUR WEB SITE
Thank you so much for this information because we do not get this information in a doctor offices at all. We need a lot more doctors like you in doctor offices 💯💯
Sway back/lordosis (impacting my sciatica) along with TMJ and a serious overbite (via bone health)... 🥴 The struggle is real. I was advised no more than 25 mcg daily. However, I don't go outside lately for a variety of reasons, and some foods I eat, I don't get the adequate amount needed. I also go online religiously as I research everything I can on homeopathic health, house renovation art and decor, and DIY lifehack tips... But the blue screen, I keep it more soft and yellowed at all times and not fully bright screened. Should I be on a higher amount of vitamin D3 dsily with this lifestyle? If so, how much mcg/IU? And need I combine other important vitamins and minerals for vitamin D to be better absorbed and beneficial? 🌸 TYSM for sharing this 🌸
I found out recently that I have a severe vitamin D deficiency. The major problem with it is that one of my antiseizure medications makes me more photosensitive.
@angelinepepper8815 I'll bring it up with my new PCP. She suggested that I go back to Niacin cause of one medication breaking me out in a rash for a bit. Even though it's winter I look like a racoon cause of how the sun still effects my skin.
Can you do an episode on " Hair of the dog " hangover cure and the science behind it, there is nothing on RU-vid about this topic and only people telling you it works but without an explanation as to why it works.
So, it appears you have upped your VD3/K2 ratio. Your earlier videos stated 4000-5000/100; now you're saying 10 000VD/100K2. Is this because there is new research? Or has some agency determined this valued is safe, as opposed to the previous one? If so, please link any relevant studies, or preferably do a new video, on the topic, stating the reasons.

Thank you Dr. Berg, for that pertinent information regarding some deficiencies that possibly are causing my disorder in the body. Luckily, I am taking supplements I just might not be taking enough or in combination with exercise to make it complete recovery.😊
Got sick with a cold, felt very glaucoma-ish during it, the cold is wearing off but this glaucoma is still persisting. Will check out vitamin D supplements :)
Can you please clarify the link with bipolar disorder; are you saying that a Vitamin D deficiency is a symptom or cause of BD, or is it just an association.
Hi Dr Berg. Thank you for making this interesting and informative video. Myopia...hmm..I have been diagnosed with keratocornus which has made me myopic. If i think back i started becoming myopic once i moved from my native sunny all-year-round part of the world, to the Northern hemisphere and at the same time left high school where i played about 2 hours of sports a day in the afternoon sun, for university where i spent much less time indoors. Do you know if there is an association between keratocornus specifically and vitamin D3 deficiency? I would be interested to know whether there has been any improvements in cornea shape with vitamin d supplementation reported?
Hey Dr. Berg, I've been watching your videos for a while and I thought it would be a good idea to do a video about height. I'm 22M 5'4 would like to know if I can do anything to improve height. Thanks in advance! We love you Dr. Berg!
It's hard for me to believe you hadn't noticed the reduction in our products of this vitamin through the years with you being a doctor &/or scientist unless you haven't been this for very long. How long have you been a doctor &/or scientist ?
I had a low level over a decade ago. It was 12! (For reference, it should be at least 30.) I had severe nightmares, as well as other symptoms. I never made the connection with that, particularly one.
Thank you again for providing your research. That is one thing I really like about your videos you provide the research. Bless you in the name of Jesus Christ.
