These days people are getting all kinds of misleading information about vitamin D. It blows my mind to hear comments like,”Go outdoors 15 minutes a day three times a week and your vitamin D will be good” or “ If you drink milk, eat fish or take a multivitamin pill,  your vitamin D will be good.” 

 I advise people to take the guess work out and have a blood test for vitamin D. A majority of them turn out to be low in vitamin D. This is the most scientific way of  finding out whether you are low in vitamin D or not. It factors in all the variables that contribute to your vitamin D level such as your sun exposure, eating habits, lifestyle, medical conditions, age, weight, race, geographic location,  medical conditions, surgeries, etc. No more guess work. Be scientific!

Your vitamin D level is the basic starting point. Go from here. This is the foundation of the strategy I developed and put into practice 10 years ago. Since then, I have seen great beneficial effects of vitamin D in my patients,  without the risk of toxicity. In order to make this strategy available to those who cannot see me in my office, I wrote this book, “Power of Vitamin D.”
