1
so in this video i want to touch on vitamin d testing challenges okay the big the big problem with vitamin d is that there's no agreed upon value of what you should have in your
2
blood i mean they have an idea or estimation and we can range all the way from this value right here to this value right here depending on what units you use could range from this value to this
3
value i guess you can take an average of these numbers depending on what units you're measuring vitamin d from also the institute of medicine will tell you that you need between 600 to 800 IUS
4
of vitamin d every day yet the endocrinology society will say you need a thousand to 200 IUS every day so again there's this there's not a lot of agreement on how much you need
5
or how much should be in your blood a couple things i want to talk about that are very very important though there's two forms of vitamin d one is an inactive form 25 hydroxy vitamin d so it's like the precursor to the active
6
form which is 125 dihydroxy vitamin d so this is the active form this is the inactive form the way this works and by the way most of the vitamin d in your blood is
7
the pre-inactive version and many times what they're testing is they're testing 25 hydroxy vitamin d they're testing the
8
precursor or the inactive vitamin d okay put that to the side we'll come back to it so what happens is you have the pre-vitamin d that goes through the body and goes
9
through the liver and from the liver it then goes to the kidney the kidney is the primary site for conversion of the inactive to the active version of
10
vitamin d what if there is damage to the kidney you're going to lose your conversion capacity and how many people have damage to the kidney well what damage is a kidney
11
diabetes is a is a big thing but also insulin resistance what percentage of the population has insulin resistance i would say between
12
65 to 75 of the entire population that is going to alter the ability for the kidney to convert the inactive to the active
13
when you get your test back from the lab that says your 5-hydroxy vitamin d is within normal levels well what about the active form are you getting a 100 conversion by the kidney
14
is there any problem with the kidney that's one variable it's very common to have people with a defect in the vitamin d receptors called polymorphism
15
and even though you may have normal vitamin d in your blood it's not being activated because at the receptor level it's not working
16
also if there's not enough bile in the body you won't get the conversion and if there's liver damage you won't be able to produce the bile to make the conversion
17
if there's no gallbladder there you could be bile deficient so you're not going to have enough bile to make the conversion we already mentioned about insulin resistance if there's inflammation in the body that can lower your ability to convert vitamin d
18
if there's malabsorption gut problems let's say you had a series of antibiotics as a child and that created scarring of your in your colon that can create a decreased capacity for conversion if
19
you had a gastric bypass that could also alter your ability to convert vitamin d so as you can see there are many different variables so you have to look at the big picture what i tell people is to err on the side
20
of taking more vitamin d than less and make sure you have enough bile so you can actually get the absorption all right i hope i didn't add more confusion but i wanted to clear
21
up some of these variables and the point of this video was just to mention that just because this right here is normal doesn't necessarily mean it's being fully converted
22
to the active form hey we're back with another amazing recipe no grains no sugar totally keto there's no
23
suffering in keto absolutely not karen and it's an immune system builder absolutely you have to check this out i think you should hurry up watch the recipe and make it yourself it's just so easy
24
to be keto but is it simple it's super simple we hope you enjoy making it as much as we are enjoying eating it

什麼是跟讀法?
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
