Today we’re talking all about Vitamin D with Jim Stephenson Jr. Jim is a Vitamin D researcher whose passion for research on the topic sparked because of a family member’s health issues, which included severe osteoporosis at the age of 51. She was prescribed 50,000 IU of vitamin D, which is a ton of Vitamin D, but this actually caused her vitamin D levels to decrease and her health continued to get worse. This incident gave him the incentive to start diving deep into Vitamin D research, applying his research and writing skills from his previous experience in the fisheries industry, and what he found was shocking. For the past two decades, Jim has been passionately researching and advocating on the topic of Vitamin D to help people learn and understand the other side.

- Should you take Vitamin D if you’re sick?
- What is low Vitamin D? What does it really mean?

- Vitamin D & testosterone levels
- Do you need to take a Vitamin D supplement to support supraphysiological levels during pregnancy?
- Vitamin D & pregnancy complications
- Do you need to supplement Vitamin D while breastfeeding?
- Do you need to give your baby Vitamin D drops?

Stay tuned for part 2 of our conversation, launching January 2nd.
