Surprising Signs of Vitamin D Deficiency... · Revealing Wholeness with Dr.Troy

• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Welcome to Revealing Wholeness podcast dedicated to revealing the profound
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: connections between body, mind, and spirit, where we believe that
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: true wellness arises from addressing the root causes of our
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: health challenges, not just masking the symptoms. Here we dive
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: deep into how holistic approaches such as advanced chiropractic care,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: personalized nutrition, and natural healing practices can transform your life.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Now Here is doctor Troy.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Hello and welcome. I'm doctor Troy. Today I'm going to
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: talk to you about vitamin D. And this was an
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: article on mednet kind of wild the fourteen signs that
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: you may be vitamin D deficient. Now we're going to
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: go through these and we're going to find out that
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: it's probably not likely a vitamin D deficiency, though it
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: may be involved in some way. And so let's begin
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Number one, aching mind muscles, and it says this could
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: be a sign of vitamin D deficiency, and it says
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: without vitamin D, your muscles may become weak and achy.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking you may have to rethink you're vitamin D here.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Vitamin D is essential to powl calcium through the digestive system.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: It also in high doses will try to keep calcium
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: in the blood system. So in your blood, if you
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: have enough calcium, your muscles will be strong and they
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: will actually resist achiness. I have numerous, numerous clients. I
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: would say I have tested calcium on probably eighty percent
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: of my clientele. And of those eighty percent of the hundreds,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: if not thousands, I would say that at least at
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: least eighty five, if not ninety five, percent of them
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: will tell me I can't believe how the calcium that
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: you gave me makes me so much less sore. How
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: does it do that? And it is fun to do
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: something that works so well. And when you have a
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: good calcium source, not like calcium carbonate that you'll find
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: in the cheapest calcium supplements and is limestone literally mined
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: from a cave and thrown into a pill. And so
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: when I do calcium, we want to do calcium that's
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: actually bioavailable to your body, that your body can actually
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: get and use, and you'll find that it does a
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: myriad of things for you that is quite impressive. Binge
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: eating is a sign of vitamin D deficiency, apparently, and
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: I was thinking, I'm not so sure I buy that either,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: And so vitamin D. Why why would we think that
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: a lack of vitamin D would create binge? Eating well, Calcium,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: believe it or not, is a blood sugar stabilizer. It
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: and magnesium work together to do that. And so if
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: I don't have enough vitamin D, I likely may find
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: myself wanting to eat a lot and a lot more often,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: and probably a lot of carbohydrates. Now, interestingly enough, we
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: can discount the fact that vitamin D that they're likely
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: talking about here is coley calcipherol or D three. So
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: if you're out there thinking is that the good one
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: D three is the typically the one they tell you
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: to take, don't take D two. Well, D three is
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: actually produced in our liver, and when our skin converts
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: oils to and cholesterol to vitamin D, it then goes
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: to liver and is converted to another form of vitamin D.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: There are many, many forms of vitamin D over fifty.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Now I have not read what they are all called
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: and their chemical name. I've just read research that says
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: there are now over fifty vitamin d's in the body.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: And so you might catch some of my earlier podcasts
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: when I talk about the pre hormone effect of most
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: fat soluble vitamins. So vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: so is vitamin A, Vitamin E, and vitamin K, and
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: then the lesser known or accepted vitamin D F or
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: fatty acids. So any fat soluble vitamin they're now starting
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: to discover is a pre hormone, meaning they have some
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: effect on the body on its hormonal system. And we're
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: discovering more and more about this. So for many years
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: I had people always coming to me, do sell any
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: essential oils? I'm thinking no, But then I started reading
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: all of these anecdotal stories on people that did essential oils,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: and like all these conditions got better. I'm thinking, man,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: it sounds like it almost sounds like they're hormone in nature.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: And I kept thinking that I couldn't shake it. And
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: then now that they've started to come out saying that
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: these fat soluble vitamins are pre hormones, I would then
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: have to lump in essential oils into that pre hormone category.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: There may be legitimate hormone type precursors or hormones themselves
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: in essential oils that make them so effective. At this point,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: I've seen no research as yet. So let's move back
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: to D painful bones. Well, we know that without vitamin
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: D and calcium, rickets runs rampant, but most of us
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: have probably never seen rickets, much less even heard of it.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: It was something I remember way back in school in
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: nineteen seventies that I was thinking rickets, Well in the
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: world is rickets? And then you know, you didn't think
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: about it ever again until you got into school and
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: you learn this archaic ricket. I'm like, what the ricket?
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: And so if you don't have a lot of vitamin
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: D and you don't have calcium, your bones twist and misshape,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: and thus you have rickets fatigue. Well, of course we
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: kind of talked about if you don't have calcium in
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: the blood, you're going to feel very tired because your
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: muscles are not going to be able to work correctly.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Every muscle contraction is driven by calcium as well as relaxation.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: So cramping you can have two with a vitamin D deficiency,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Reduced endurance goes right along with it. That's number five.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: We've already beat that one up. Low mood. Now this
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: is a little bit more interesting. So if I have
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: a liver that's not performing real well, and I'm not
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: producing enough vitamin D. It's probably doing a lot of
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: other things, and it's probably not keeping the blood very
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: clean either, and so that can make us not feel
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: very good in our head as well as the calcium
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: levels that would not be controlled very well due to
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: the lack of vitamin D, and it would increase blood
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: sugar destabilization. So we would feel worse because our blood
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: sugar was not stabilized due to the lack of calcium
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: in or blood. And so low mood is not an
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: unusual one to even think about. With vitamin D, it
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: makes sense, but it's probably for other reasons than what
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: we think. Next number seven problems sleeping. Well, if you
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: ever remember in some old movies, you'd see people like
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: that couldn't sleep, and they would be in their pajamas
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: and they would be up and they would be making
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: themselves a warm cup of milk. So they pour milk
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: into a pot on the stove and they would heat
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: it up until it was warm, and they would drink
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: warm milk. Yet nobody really thought anything weird about that.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: And of course, increasing calcium in the blood is stabilizing
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: blood sugar, but it's also helping us relax and sleep
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: and brain cycles. Now the next one, number eight. Every
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: hair on your body is held in place by a muscle.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: So the shaft of that hair under the skin is
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: held in there by a muscle. When you get cold,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: your hair stands on end goose flesh. Well, that's a
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: muscle making it do that. If there wasn't a muscle
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: attached to that hair, it just sits in a pool
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: of blood at the follicle, so deep in the skin,
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: it's just sitting there with about a thousand cells feeding
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: that hair follicle. So the muscle attached to the shaft
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: above the where the follicle is is what holds the
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: hair in. If that muscle becomes weak due to a
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: lack of calcium, it lets that hair go. Now, interestingly enough,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: the thyroid is implicated here, So will we inevitably see
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: that vitamin D has some effect as well on thyroid hormones.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: We may, but ultimately will affect likely how calcium is
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: driven to tissues or not driven there. Next, slow wound healing.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Guess what pulls wounds closed and heals them calcium, So calcium, copper, manganese,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: and protein very important for wound healing and joint healing,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: and so vitamin D. If it's not there, you are
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: not going to have the calcium available to do that,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: and you're going to heal slowly dizziness. Now, fascinatingly enough,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: calcium we've been talking about its wonderful effects on muscle,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: but what it also does is an enormous job for
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: the immune system, and so vitamin D. If we don't
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: have an enough to drive calcium through that gut wall
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: into the bloodstream, we're going to run infections more. And
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: that includes those that would be in the inner ear
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: or in the brain and would affect dizziness or vertigo. Now,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: heart problems is a no brainer. The heart is a muscle.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Guess what you need to contract the heart? You guessed it.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Calcium and vitamin D is going to help that. Now,
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: weight gain is a little bit more of a of
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: an interesting one. Vitamin D because of its nature having
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: an effect and being produced in a liver, I would
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: say that we have a liver and calcium issue here.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: So this weight gain problem, they just say is a deficiency. Well,
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: metabolism may have some effect with vitamin D, but I'm
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: probably gonna hang my hat on a liver function thing.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: If I can't process fats well and I don't have calcium,
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: and I don't have vitamin D and my liver is
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: a wreck, I'm probably going to be gaining weight. The
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: liver's job is to pull fat off the body and
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: convert it to sugar and burn it. But if it
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: can't do that, it doesn't do so well. And if
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: it can't detoxify because it's sick now, it allows toxins
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: to stay in there, and your body actually tries to
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: produce fat to hide those toxins. So weight gain can
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: all be a fact of that poor liver function. So
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: let me explain a little bit more about what D
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: three or twenty five hydroxy vitamin D, which is the
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: blood test most medical doctors will run to see what
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: your vitamin D levels are. That twenty five hydroxy vitamin
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: D is what is produced in the liver, so that's
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: the conversion. If I can't make that in my liver,
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: it means my liver isn't doing well. Even though we
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: have blood tests that show liver enzyme function, it's often
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: low in most people. When we do an AST or
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: an ALT. If you've got a comprehensive metabolic panel blood
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: panel that your doctor has done, which is a very
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: common blood panel. I think the only blood panel more
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: common than a comprehensive metabolic panel is a complete blood count,
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: and I'll bet they vuy one on one or one
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: for one on which one they do the most. So
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: when we look at a comprehensive metabolic panel, there's an
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: AST and an ALT indicator on there, and when you
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: look at those, those are liver enzymes as well as
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: body cellular enzymes. But the ALT is just liver now normal.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: They they rate normal from like now, they finally stop
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: doing zero to forty and now it's like seven or eight,
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: depending on the lab to I think thirty five. Some
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: have even narrowed the band of that ALT enzyme and
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: ultimately ideal is somewhere in the low twenties, maybe mid
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: twenties at most. And that means I have a liver
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: that's producing enough enzymes, it's healthy. But if I have
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: low enzymes, which I see on at least ninety percent
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: of the clients that bring me in a comprehensive metabolic panel,
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: I will see them at fifteen, maybe seventeen. Every once
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: in a while get a nineteen, but it is commonplace
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: to see them at thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, I've even
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: seen them at seven, and these are young people. On occasion,
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking, you don't have any liver function hardly, and
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: so weight gain can definitely be part of that liver problem.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: Reincurring infections is number thirteen. Now we've already beat up
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: the immune system. What drives the immune system calcium, and
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: so vitamin D is important. But here again, liver function
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: is also vital important to clear the blood. Your liver's
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: job is to clean the blood, put the crap in
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: your gut and let it get to the toilet. That's
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: its job. It doesn't store toxins. It's trying to process
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: the blood to get rid of it and clean. So
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: reoccurrent and means you are not cleaning, my friend, And
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: you're probably eating enough crap that your liver is constantly burdened.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: And so, yeah, you may have a vitamin D deficiency,
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: but I'm still going to pick on your liver every time.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Reduced cognitive function, the dirtier your blood is, man, the
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: worst your thinking is. So again, liver function so vitally important.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: So yeah, vitamin D is awesome. It would have been
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: nice if it put on here something reality wise and
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: said increased autoimmune diseases. Well, yeah, for sure, that should
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: have been fifteen, but it stopped at fourteen. So if
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: you have an autoimmune condition out there, if I were you,
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: I'd be thinking about vitamin D and I'd be asking
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: a healthcare professional like me what should I do? And
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: we should be monitoring you and helping you in many
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: different ways, not just doing vitamin D, but it can
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: be super helpful in those types of conditions. So we
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: hit fourteen aspects of vitamin D deficiencies and we found
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: pretty much that it was probably a bit more calcium
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: than anything else. But vitamin D, just like any other
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: component to the body, doesn't work alone. So yeah, this
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: could be vitamin D deficiency symptoms, but it's also a
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: lot of calcium deficiency symptoms. It's probably a lot of
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: other deficiencies too. So in any nutritional program, it is
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: the wisest course of action to get a full complement
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: of everything, which means you should be eating really nutrient
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: rich foods, not fast foods, highly processed, box cand refined,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: fast frozen foods. I would really take a dig into
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: your diet and take a good hard look at it
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: and say, man, what should I do? I definitely want
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: to take some d but I probably got some overhauling
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: to happen. Well, I hope that helps. Until next time,
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: I'm doctor Troy, and remember there is way more right
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: with you than there is wrong with you.
