2:44
I was so Yes, we're busier for those reasons. People are grabbing
2:47
gift cards from our stores and from our website and just also bringing up intense
2:53
conversations because many loved ones are battling chronic health conditions, and so often in
3:00
battling health conditions, you are backed in a corner. You know, you've
3:05
seen a couple specialists. The headaches still remain, or the pain still remains,
3:08
or the digestive issues are there's still problems, and so people are very
3:14
curious on hey, what natural alternatives are working in our community for these very
3:19
common issues and sometimes not so common. So those are our kind of special
3:23
transactions for me, because it's it's like a gift of love. You know,
3:27
all these people are coming in, they really want something, and so
3:29
it's this prayer folk sort of conversation on what's the best approach and that sort
3:32
of thing. And so, yeah, it's a good time to give the
3:36
gift of health. It's such a great thing. And you mentioned not only

3:58
Love to have you joined us this week six eight three two one thirteen
4:00
ten. That's six oh eight three two one thirteen ten gets you on the
4:03
air with Tim O'Brien from the Healthy Place. Another option is emails, and
4:08
I know we get a bunch of really good emails each and every week.
4:11
Of course, email Tim at finds your Healthy Place dot com. That's Tim
4:15
t I am at find your Healthy Place dot com. And Sally messaged in
4:18
Sally emails, she said, if needed after we go through, Uh,
4:23
excuse me, I'm reading, I'm reading your in need ed here was one.
4:30
Oh, you tell it. You can tell Christmas is on the mind
4:32
Sally Sean's thinking about is Christmas present? Sally? It's an interesting way to
4:39
start your nost she wants to know. And this is such an important question
4:44
that Sally says, what's the recommend dosage for vitamin D during the fall and
4:47
winter months? And of course, uh that that's uh noting that UH countered
4:54
a few different options and appropriate amount to take throughout the year. And Sally's
4:57
wondering about that. And I know a lot of folks that days get short,
5:00
we don't get as much sunshine, All sorts of nasty stuff is in
5:03
the air, and then you get conflicting information about how much is appropriate.
5:09
What is the recommended dosage for vitamin D? Tim, Yeah, great,
5:13
great question, Sally, And most of us are deficient in vitamin D.
5:17
Like that's really important to understand. And especially in Wisconsin, where we sit
5:21
on the globe, the sun hits us at a certain angle that we don't
5:25
absorb our benefit from the sun in the same way as those closer to the
5:30
equator. So it's just important in general to know that US Northerners are a
5:34
little bit more vitamin D depleted than those in the South. And taking vitamin
5:40
D year round is highly highly recommended. Folks in general tend to feel the
5:46
impact of their vitamin D deficiencies more in the winter because that might peak.
5:50
And that's true and good and even maybe more important to take vitamin D in
5:55
the winter months. So do it. You'll feel better. I mean,
5:58
this is about your mood health, and this is about your immune system,
6:02
pain in the body, hormone balance, so many benefits and reasons to take
6:06
vitamin D. And so if you're feeling fatigue, you're feeling a little more
6:11
moody, and your mood's down immune system obviously, like those are all often
6:16
indicators that you're depleted in vitamin D. Now, how much to take is
6:21
dependent on a number of different factors. So when folks come into the stores,
6:27
our most common recommendation will be five thousand I use per day. Now,
6:30
the daily value, that's the DV. If you look on the side
6:33
of the Wheedy's box, you seeund percent. When you're quote unquote getting one
6:39
hundred percent of vitamin D daily value, that's four hundred I use. Now,
6:45
it's important to mention that that is a very archaic system. The daily
6:48
value desperately needs to be redone. It was done maybe seventy years ago.
6:54
And the original approach as this was formed, at least from the article I
6:59
read, was around military and what they needed daily in order to survive.
7:04
So it was more about survival, like what's the smallest amount that you need
7:09
to survive? So hey, you know, when customers come in, it's
7:12
like you want to survive or thrive, you know, And so we'll have
7:15
that conversation. So anywhere between though two thousand I use a day and ten
7:20
thousand I US a day is where Sally is reading this like conflicting information.
7:26
So we'll, you know, we'll recommend folks in general get your blood drawn
7:30
at some point, you know, do it every few years. Get a
7:32
full women's panel, a full male men's panel, and just see where your
7:36
nutritional levels are at. You know, everyone's deficient in something and if you
7:41
don't get your blood drawn, you just won't know. So Family Clinic and
7:45
Natural Medicine over in Deerfield love to recommend those guys. They do great work.
7:47
There's a lot of folks though in Madison area too that you can get
7:50
your blood drawn, see where your vitamin D levels are at, your B
7:54
vitamins. I mean, it's your health and if you know what you're deficient
7:58
in, it's pretty easy to take care of. But now, the last
8:00
thing I'd say is get a vitamin D with K two in it. You
8:05
really want to have a vitamin D something that has vitamin K two in it.
8:09
K two is the natural form versus K one's your synthetic form. And
8:13
when you absorb, when your body takes in, absorbs assimilates vitamin D,
8:18
it uses vitamin K to help that process. So it uses your body's natural
8:22
stores, which is why it's super beneficial to have it in there with it.
8:26
So a lot of different brands make a DK combo. I'll recommend solar
8:31
Power. It's called solar Power by Lively Vitamin Co. You can go on
8:33
our website type in solar and it'll pull it right up. I would encourage
8:37
folks to get the five thousand iu. It is very difficult to overdose.
8:41
It is fat soluble, so yes, you can take too much. But
8:45
we're talking like like twenty thousand I use a day for years, you know,
8:50
just very strong levels. Even a baby upon delivery. Doctors now are
8:54
recommending a baby D drop which is four hundred. I use now as a
8:58
reminder that that's what they're saying. The daily value is for adults, and
9:01
this is a six pound, four ounce baby. So don't be too scared
9:05
about taking a higher level of vitamin D. It's helping people getting those nanograms
9:09
per millileater. I do believe is what when you do the blood tests that
9:13
they that they tell you getting those things checked out. That's interesting when you
9:16
mentioned that to Tim, I think a lot of folks don't don't take the
9:20
time to have, you know, have those results done. And I years
9:22
ago I had a doctor friend tell me like because I'm like, I'm just
9:26
so tired all the time, and they suggested, well, you should probably
9:30
you have your vitamin D levels looked at to see where they and where they
9:33
are, because there's a lot of great information that can come out of that.
9:37
And I know you've talked in the past about about nutrition and foods that
9:43
we're eating a lot of and correct me if I'm wrong, Tim, and
9:46
you've got the you've got the all the information on this. But like even
9:50
like the vegetables and fruits that were buying at the store are not as nutritionally
9:54
dense as they once were. It's nineteen fifty you know. I love bringing
9:58
this up. I read an article that was stay. I mean it was
10:00
intense. A salad just a bowl of salad from the nineteen fifties as literally
10:03
half the amount of vitamins, minerals, nutrients and compared to nineteen fifties,
10:09
and it's way more loaded with with toxins, you know, pesticides, herbicides,
10:15
fungusides, these are chemicals. It's pretty it's pretty eye opening, you
10:18
do. And that's the importance. We talk with Tim O'Brien from the healthy
10:22
place, starting that journey, whether you're concerned about of course, fall in
10:26
winter and your overall health. Of course, with the new year, a
10:28
lot of us say, you know what, I want to make some changes,
10:31
or you're concerned about somebody else in your life. It's an important time
10:33
to start that conversation. A great day to get on in. They'd love

way you can email is tim at finds your Healthy Place dot com. That's
11:50
Tim tim at find your Healthy Place dot com. And Erica writes it.
11:54
Just after many years on birth control pills, I decided to switch to an
11:58
alternative following research into the potential long term effects. Since making this change,
12:05
I've experienced much more painful periods than before. Could you offer any suggestions for
12:09
managing this increased discomfort? And that email is from Erica. Yeah, Erica
12:16
is such a good question. This is a common one. Folks in our
12:18
community will come in and they are either kind of curious about some of the
12:24
side effects of birth control, or they've done a little research themselves and they're
12:28
a little bit concerned. So just if you're listening, you have loved one
12:31
yourself. You're just curious. You know. There's when you take birth control,
12:33
there's like an inhibiting of ovulation. There's a thickening of cervical mucus.
12:37
There's altering of something called the uterine lining, and that leads to or can
12:41
lead to, different hormonal imbalances, nutrient depletions, gut health impacts natural menstrual
12:50
cycle deviation, so it can change and effect you know, painful cramping for
12:56
example, Painful periods like these are all a part of what you can see
13:01
when you take birth control. So our job at the Healthy Place isn't to
13:05
tell folks really what to do or not to do. That's, you know,
13:09
their medical professionals and ultimately it's up to them. You know. I'm
13:13
working towards educating Dane County, Like I have this passion and dream to see
13:18
our community being the CEO of their own health, having wonderful specialists sort of
13:22
all around them, the experts and the guides and those that have gone to
13:28
school for this or that, and they take in all that information and they
13:31
make a perifol decision for their own health. Like that's that's our job.
13:35
So people come to us, we'll just try to educate, We'll try to
13:37
give information and then if they are experiencing some of these side effects like like
13:41
erica here, you know there's things, there's natural alternatives that you can do
13:46
to help alleviate some of those issues. So a product called get Even.
13:50
Get Even by Lively Vitamin co is one of our favorite. It's our top
13:54
seller by a lot. And specifically when you when you talk about the pain
14:00
conversation, there's three ingredients herbs that I like to call out. Ginger soothes,
14:05
digestive upset, monthly abdominal pain in women experiencing menopause menstruation, dim is
14:11
in there. D im this assists in managing painful cramps heavy flow while in
14:18
encouraging healthy balance overall. And then don Qui is a uterine tonic that can
14:24
help relieve painful cramping blood flow. What I like most about the formula though,
14:28
there's several other herbs in there too that are specific to normalizing the system.
14:35
So if you picture you know, birth control coming in the system and
14:37
you know, creating a bit of a storm, you know a bit of
14:41
a environment that you know life cannot begin within that storm. So when that
14:50
has gone on for ten years, fifteen years, and a young woman is
14:54
trying to get off and trying to get pregnant, for example, there is
14:58
a number of issues that and remain and so you want to bring balance to
15:01
that system. You want to bring a normalization like when your levels are too
15:05
high, you know, it even brings it down, and then when your
15:09
levels are too low, your hormonal levels, it brings it up. So
15:11
it's a balancing formula. Women feel the difference on this in the first twenty
15:15
four to forty eight hours and I highly recommend it to Erica great questions this
15:18
morning. Don't forget As always, Tim is available for you Tim at find
15:22
your Healthy Place dot com wellness consultants as well, whether you go into the
15:24
West Side location Fitchburg or Sun Prairie online find your Healthy Place dot com.
15:30
That's fined your Healthy Place dot Com. It's got about a minute left in
15:33
this week's program, Tim, and as mentioned, I know a lot of
15:37
folks are waking up and saying, you know what I want to start twenty
15:41
twenty four off right. I want to do something great for my friends and
15:43
family. It's never a bad time to start that journey is it, you
15:46
know, No, I'd highly encourage you if you're listening right now, you
15:50
know, maybe you're listening for a reason, like your health matters, and
15:52
your life matters, and your loved ones health in life matters, and just
15:58
taking a little step to ask a question at the healthy place. It can
16:02
be tim ad Apple, Timadfinder, healthy place dot Com. It could be
16:06
coming into our stores. It could be going to our website find your Healthy
16:10
place dot com, hit in that chat feature and asking the question there,
16:14
or it could be you going to another store. It's not like about coming
16:17
to the healthy Place. Like my purpose here is to encourage you to become
16:22
the CEO of your own health, to ask a question that can really ultimately
16:26
change a life. So if you have any health condition, any health issue
16:30
that you have in your life, I would challenge you in the coming weeks
16:34
to just ask the question like what natural alternative, what supplement can help this,
16:40
and watch our team of wellness consultants make a recommendation and such a high
16:44
percentage of the time it'll create enough difference that you'll be like, Okay,
16:48
I'm a believer. This was cool, And then it impacts and can have
16:52
the ability to change the rest of your life. And so that would be
16:53
my challenge to you. And with that I'd say a happy Holidays, Merry
16:56
Christmas, in the happy New Yearsmiths to you as well, Tim, and
17:00
we look forward to another year of doing this each and every week. And
17:04
