Your Vitamin D Winter Kit (opens the original)
Read excerpt
At the end of summer every year I get the same question: “Okay, so what should my levels actually be?”Fair question. The internet will tell you 30, 50, 80, or “as high as possible,” depending on who you ask (and at the end of the article I will tell you WHERE those numbers even come from).So today I’m giving you the full breakdown: what’s realistic, why so many people are low right now even after a summer outside, and the kit I’d want everyone to have going into the darker months.

Why you get so sad when your tan fades (opens the original)
Read excerpt

I also learned that my metabolic and immune markers had all improved across the board (read more on all that HERE).You can also

As promised - I am sharing my most recent labs after being “on a mission” since June to fix my entire iron panel (as well as improve my T3 - and Neutrophil to Lymphocyte ratio).I will share more details regarding everything I have done so far in another article in the future (diet changes - stress - habits - minerals - gut health & more) ……as well as my plan going forward…..so make sure you are subscribed if you want to read that when it is ready.Substack is w
