Many know vitamin D as the "sunshine vitamin" related to bone health—but research suggests its role goes far beyond that. From cancer (colon, breast), cardiovascular disease, diabetes, immune and neurological disorders, to infectious disease like TB, low or deficient vitamin D levels are being increasingly implicated in major health risks.

In this episode of Health Talk: Your Partner in Health, Dr. Caitlin Prickett and patient advocate Jeffery Runyon explore the hidden epidemic of vitamin D deficiency. We unpack what the latest studies tell us—why levels above 40-60 ng/mL may offer protection, how vitamin D acts at the cellular level, and compare supplementation strategies (D2 vs D3 vs injections).

Whether you're curious about prevention, want to understand what your recent blood work means, or considering supplementing, this is an episode packed with evidence, insights, and practical takeaways.

Tune in to learn how something as simple (and often overlooked) as vitamin D might be one of the most powerful tools in your prevention toolbox.

Feeling drained, foggy, or curious about the science of longevity? In this episode of Health Talk: Your Partner in Health, Dr. Caitlin Prickett and Jeffery Runyon break down one of the hottest topics in medicine and biohacking — NAD+.

NAD+ is a powerful coenzyme found in every cell, essential for energy, brain health, and recovery. But here's the catch — our NAD+ levels decline as we age, and that drop may be linked to fatigue, memory loss, and accelerated aging.

Join us as we explore:
✅ How NAD+ impacts aging and longevity
✅ The role of NAD+ in brain function and mental clarity
✅ Why athletes and patients use NAD+ for faster recovery
✅ Natural ways to boost NAD+ (exercise, diet, supplements)
✅ What the science really says about NAD+ IV therapy and supplements

Packed with clinical studies, real-world patient insights, and practical takeaways, this episode will help you understand whether NAD+ is the missing link in your health and wellness strategy.
