Should You Take a Vitamin D Supplement?

Vitamin D has had quite the reputation makeover. Once overhyped, then dismissed, it’s now back in the spotlight—with better science to guide us.

In this episode of Healthy Looks Great on You, we break down what vitamin D actually does in your body, why deficiency is so common (even if you love the sunshine), and why more isn’t always better when it comes to supplementation. You’ll learn how vitamin D functions as both a nutrient and a hormone, where you can—and can’t—get it from food, and why blood levels matter more than the number on the supplement bottle.

We also explore emerging research, including personalized dosing studies showing potential benefits for heart health, mood, immune function, and more. If you’re feeling fatigued, moody, getting sick often, or just wondering whether you should be taking vitamin D at all, this episode will help you make an informed, individualized decision.

Because when it comes to vitamin D, the smartest dose is the one that fits you—and healthy really does look great on you.
