Most people pop a Vitamin D supplement and assume they’re covered. But here’s the truth: low Vitamin D is usually a symptom — not the real problem. In this episode of Healthcare Rewritten, Dr. Lena and Dr. Collin unpack why your levels stay low even when you supplement, how that impacts everything from immunity to fertility, and what you can actually do to fix it.
What We Cover in This Episode:
Real story: a patient taking 5,000–10,000 IU daily who stayed deficient until gut + liver issues were addressed
The science: why Vitamin D is a hormone, not just a vitamin—and why absorption + activation matter
Busting the myth: “Just take more Vitamin D supplements” (why it doesn’t work for most people)
Tangible Takeaways: By the end of this episode, you’ll walk away with:✔️ Clarity on why Vitamin D stays low despite supplementation✔️ Whole-food + lifestyle steps to naturally raise Vitamin D levels✔️ A checklist of labs and markers to test beyond serum Vitamin D
