The Empowering Neurologist - Vitamin D & the Gut

I talk about the role of Vitamin D in your gut health and break down a recent study on the subject. Vitamin D regulates the gut microbiome - it's a crucial part of your diet!

Thank you so much for this valuable video.
In a study published in FASEB journal in 2014, Dr. Rhonda Patrick and her team found that vitamin d actually activates a gene called tryptophan hydroxylase which allows the conversion of tryptophan to serotonin in the brain, saying that theoretically, vitamin d should help increase your serotonin production. Quite interesting to be honest. She also has a video on RUclips explaining more about her findings.

Wow! Thanks for this, doc! You're awesome! I take a lot of D3 with K2 as well. I also stop viruses with it at first inkling of illness! I love it!

[@kassrripples3659]

You stop viruses with it?

It’s really interesting that simply giving a rat one kind of poison that it develops colitis. Equally important that it shrinks the memory center and that vitamin D can protect against the poison. One wonders whether colitis in humans could be caused by poisons and cured by D.

Gudmundur Rafn Geirdal Bragason Vitamin D (cholecalciferol) is a known rat poison. Interesting.

[@gudmundurrafngeirdalbragas1513]

Kelly Jones : Well that’s perplexing because if vitamin D can protect a rat against a poison in one case, how could it kill a rat in other cases? Maybe by an overdose?!

[@Arabian_Kn1ght]

Gudmundur Rafn Geirdal Bragason Technically, rats died of hypercalcemia meaning too much calcium in the blood is what killed them and not too much vitamin d.

Vitamin D and vitamin A together regulate microbiom. But vitamin A is invisible today because everybody think there is enough but that depends on the liver health.
We can't even burn glucose without retinol (pyruvate => Acetyl-CoA conversion requires retinol at electron transport).
And cortisol is the opposite hormone to vitamin D. So it is not so simple just to increase vitamin D level because cortisol will neutralize its effect.

is the dextran sodium sulfate a form of sugar? dextrose is corn sugar.
explain about lack of vitamin D receptors. If receptors are resistant or blocked how would this affect test results for vitamin D in blood? good dosage of vitamin D?

[@bernardoaguilar826]

Can we have more doctors like this…. Why aren’t doctors doing anything now??

[@basitriaz6539]

Vitamin is particularly important to get via Sunshine

[@Romanamon]

Interesting. I've had sudden onset ocd since an early age, and ever since I was a baby I have been hypersensitive to sunlight, so chronically vit d deficient. Ocd is in part a memory issue, what with all the checking behaviours, so this information helps provide a link.

Please make a video about how to cure someone from Ulcerative Colitis... thank you very much...

Vitamin d deficiency before condition or post condition?

Good question... maybe on admission to inpatient hospital ward

[@Sheshes500]

Vitamin D3 with K2 only is best

[@ldjt6184]

Please explain which form of vitamin D was given to these mice. Cholecalciferol is a rat poison.

[@ldjt6184]

Also, please link the studies which you talk about in the description of the video.
