Dr. Coimbra of Brazil is a pioneer in vitamin D research and developed the Coimbra Protocol, in which he treats his patients with high doses of vitamin D. This protocol has been very successful in resolving autoimmune conditions, with some of his patients taking up to 200,000 IU of vitamin D daily!

Vitamin D deficiency is not always easy to detect. Blood tests do not reflect what's going on deeper in your cells.

Taking too much vitamin D can be dangerous if you have hypercalcemia, or too much calcium in the blood. This can lead to kidney stones.

A lack of vitamin D is also dangerous! If you’re deficient in vitamin D, you are more susceptible to autoimmune diseases, which is currently the world’s largest health problem.

Vitamin D is involved in over 2500 genes and is intimately involved in every part of your immune system. You need a maintenance dose of 8,000 to 10,000 IU of vitamin D daily for healthy immune function.

Many people can not get adequate vitamin D from the sun or their food. Genetic factors can contribute to vitamin D resistance. Low magnesium, zinc, and vitamin K2 can also inhibit the absorption of vitamin D. Certain viruses downgrade vitamin D receptors, weakening your immune function. Our RDAs are also far too low.

There are several ways to maximize vitamin D benefits while also preventing adverse vitamin D side effects. Take the cofactors magnesium, zinc, and vitamin K2 with vitamin D. Limit your calcium intake, especially when taking a high dose of vitamin D. You can also increase fluid intake to 2.5 liters per day to prevent kidney stones.

Are you low in vitamin D? Learn more about the warning signs of a vitamin D deficiency.

0:00 Introduction: Vitamin D basics 
2:15 Symptoms of a vitamin D deficiency 
7:50 Vitamin D deficiency causes 
10:57 Check out my video on vitamin D toxicity!

Today I want to cover the warning signs of a vitamin D deficiency. However, it’s important to remember that a warning sign or symptom isn’t the real problem—it’s an indicator of the real problem.

Seven warning signs of a vitamin D deficiency:
1. High blood pressure 
2. Low back pain 
3. High blood sugar 
4. High susceptibility to viruses 
5. Autoimmune conditions 
6. Daytime sleepiness 
7. Depression

Let’s say you’re doing everything right, and you’re still deficient in vitamin D. There are a few reasons why this could happen.

Top causes of a vitamin D deficiency (when you’re already getting vitamin D):
• Polymorphism (a vitamin D receptor mutation)
• You’re still not getting enough vitamin D (you need at least 10,000 IU)
• You have a problem with absorption (due to low zinc, low magnesium, a liver problem, a kidney problem, darker skin, or being overweight)

When you take a vitamin D supplement, you also need to take vitamin K2. The correct ratio is 10,000 IU of D3 to 100 mcg of K2. Vitamin K2 can help drive calcium into the bones and help prevent it from depositing in the arteries, joints, and other tissues.

When using high doses of vitamin D, always check with your doctor. High doses of vitamin D can increase blood/urine calcium levels resulting in calcium deposits in the kidney. Also drink 2.5 liters of fluids per day, take cofactors with vitamin D (magnesium, K2 and zinc) and have your doctor monitor your PTH, vitamin D blood levels and creatinine and avoid excess calcium supplements of high calcium foods when taking vitamin D levels over 10,000 IUs.

Iodine is vital for the health of your thyroid, which impacts almost every part of your body. Unfortunately, iodine deficiency has become increasingly common due to depleted soils and chemicals in the water supply. Find out how to spot the early signs of iodine deficiency in this video.

0:00 Introduction: Iodine deficiency causes
1:09 Outer eyebrow thinning
1:22 Hair loss
1:36 Hoarseness
1:51 Enlarged tongue
2:05 Unexplained weight gain
2:30 High estrogen
3:30 Lowered IQ
6:00 Iodine function
6:34 Selenium and iodine
6:56 High iodine foods

Iodine deficiency is becoming incredibly common because most people aren’t getting enough in their food, and chemicals like fluoride and chlorine in the water supply can deplete it. Vegans are at increased risk for iodine deficiency because they aren’t consuming iodine foods such as shellfish, dairy, eggs, and other seafood.

Here are 7 strange iodine deficiency signs to look out for.

1. Outer eyebrow thinning
If the outer third of your eyebrow is thinning, you could have an iodine deficiency.

2. Hair loss
Iodine is vital in ensuring that you have adequate thyroid hormones to support your hair.

3. Hoarseness
This may feel like a lump in your throat due to an enlarged thyroid.

4. Enlarged tongue
Indentations on the outside of the tongue signify an enlarged tongue.

5. Unexplained weight gain
When your thyroid doesn’t have enough iodine, it can slow your metabolism, leading to weight gain.

6. Increased estrogen
Heavy periods, excessive cramping, headaches, and weight gain in the hips all signify increased estrogen. Testosterone may also decrease in both men and women if the thyroid isn’t functioning properly.

7. Lowered IQ
Thyroid function affects many parts of the brain, including the portion responsible for making decisions, problem-solving, attention, focus, creativity, and memory.

Iodine is vital for properly functioning thyroid hormones, which affect every part of the body. Thyroid hormones affect the ovaries and the testicles, regulate estrogen dominance, and help mood and cognitive function.

Hypothyroidism is one of the most common health problems worldwide! Selenium is also essential for the thyroid, especially for conditions like Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism.

Rather than waiting for iodine deficiency symptoms, add the following iodine-rich foods to your diet to help prevent a problem:
•Sea kelp/seaweed
•Shellfish
•Fish from the ocean
•Eggs
•Dairy

Get a high-quality water filter to eliminate chlorine and fluoride in your drinking water!

0:00 Introduction: What are adaptogens?
0:48 The most powerful adaptogen in the world
1:28 How ashwagandha works
3:07 Cortisol explained
7:07 Ashwagandha benefits
8:58 Check out this important video on stress!

Today, we’re going to talk about the most powerful adaptogen in the world: ashwagandha.

An adaptogen is something that helps you cope with stress and helps your body adjust to its environment.

Ashwagandha has a lot of benefits, but we’re going to focus on how it can help you adapt to stress. Ashwagandha has helped many people feel calmer and like they can cope with stress easier.

Ashwagandha helps control the HPA axis, which is the communication between your hypothalamus, pituitary, and adrenals. These hormonal communications help the body adapt to a stress response.

Once the communication is complete, the hormone is supposed to lower back down, but with chronic stress, cortisol never goes back down and is chronically elevated. Ashwagandha can help reduce these hormones.

Cortisol isn’t a bad thing. It doesn’t cause stress—it’s adapting your body to a stress state. But, it’s not healthy to have your body in a state of chronic stress and chronically elevated cortisol.

Potential benefits of ashwagandha:
• It helps lower cortisol in the AM
• It helps lower DHEA (a precursor to cortisol) in the AM
• It helps raise testosterone (stress lowers testosterone)
• It helps increase endurance
• It helps increase strength (stress may cause weakness)
• It has shown significant improvements in emotions
