Signs You’re Low in Vitamin D and How it Affects Endo


Listen Later

Recently, I’ve had a lot of low levels or deficiencies show up with clients. Many of them were experiencing low moods, cyclical pain or heavy menstrual bleeding, fatigue, heart palpitations, aching muscles, and overall feelings of inflammation.

Whilst yes, these can all be due to or linked to endometriosis, we have to be careful about blaming everything on endo and not investigating these kind of situations further. In some of these cases, I suspected low iron and in others low vitamin D, or low B12, depending on the symptoms presenting. I think many of us just don’t always believe these essential nutrients can make such a big difference, but they absolutely can. And lo and behold, each client I tested, was low in the nutrients I suspected and felt a significant difference with prescription level supplements.

So, I’m not sharing this to show off and prove I was right – I’m sharing this to alert you to the fact that some of your symptoms may not just be endo.

Can you help me save Jelly the kitten? We are currently travelling, working remotely, and within 24 hours of arriving in Montenegro, we met Jelly. He was extremely thin, with a distended stomach and a little lollypop head and bulging eyes. We took him to the vets where he was put on an IV drip for dehydration, and treated with antibiotics and anti-inflammatories for a bacterial infection that has spread into his bloodstream from his intestines. His intestines are damaged due to excessive worms, which has caused him to become malnourished. 

The vets have given us a very stark picture of the reality. If Jelly goes back on the streets, his condition will deteriorate and he will suffer until he eventually passes away. We have been told to find him a home where he can continue getting care or put him to sleep.

We have found him a foster home and a forever home in the UK, but the total cost is over £1200. We have already spent hundreds on vet visits getting him to this point, and need your help, if you can.

If you are able to and want to support, you can donate and read Jelly’s full story on our Go Fund Me page. I truly cannot express how much your support means to me, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
