In this episode I'm unraveling some of the downstream -not so great - side effects that come from taking too much supplemental vitamin D.
It's kinda funny how we tend to pick out single nutrients and treat them as a god unto themselves, isn't it? That's not how a nutritional therapist works with nutrients/nutrition.
So, I thought I'd share about a mineral that can get 'drained' by excessive high dose D supplementation. I explain the downstream impact of excess D on tissue calcium levels that leads to a demand for more magnesium and eventually drains sodium and potassium. Then I share how the excess of calcium and decrease of potassium affects thyroid health by creating a thyroid hormone resistance pattern.
The pro of this approach is you won't be isolating one nutrient apart from others or throwing your biochemistry completely out of balance, therefore your health!
