Dr. Tabatha Barber tells Esther that vitamin D deficiency is fixable in three steps: get an at-home finger-prick blood test, dose a supplement based on your level, and get more sun. It's faster and cheaper than overhauling your diet.
Thank you for letting me share that, Esther, because people don't need to suffer, right? No, they don't need to suffer. And, and it's one of the easiest things to fix too. Once you know your vitamin D number and if your doctor hasn't ordered it, that's one that you can get online. You can— I think I had ordered the first time through the mail. I got a little kit in the mail, poked my finger, drops of blood on a little card, mailed it back in. And then, you know, a couple of days later, there was my number in my email. And then all you have to do is dose your supplement accordingly. It's so simple to fix that root cause. If you're going to look at, you know, a dietary root cause, that's going to take, you know, some overhaul and some work and some investment of your time and your energy and your money. Vitamin D is like a simple lab test, and then you take a supplement every day and you get out in the sun when you can. It's so simple and so easy to correct.
