Why is everybody deficient in vitamin D?

Do you ever wonder why everybody seems to be deficient in vitamin D?  I do, in fact, when I test individual blood levels I find that the only people not deficient are people who supplement.

The Norwegian Institute for Air research created this calculator to determine how much sunshine you need to create the equivalent of 1,000 International Units (IU) of vitamin D in a day.

A Caucasian with fair skin living in Spanish Fork, UT on July 24th (Fiesta Days) at noon can produce 1000 IU of vitamin D in 27 minutes.  It is recommended we get between 2000 IU and 5000 IU of vitamin D daily of optimal health.  This would require 1 - 2.5 hours of mid summer sunlight each day.  In January it would require 5 hrs to create 1000 IU of vitamin D.

Unless you are able to be out in the sun for a few hours each day between 10 am and 2 pm you should get your vitamin D levels measured periodically and supplement with vitamin D.

ChiroThin Weight Loss Program, Half Way Progress with Dr. Davis

I thought I would post something on my weight loss journey.  I had let my self get too heavy so I decided to start our ChiroThin weight loss program.  When I started I was 215 lbs.  I just finished week 3 of the 6 week program and I am down to 197 lbs.  So far I have lost 18 lbs in 21 days, that isn't too shabby in my book.  I am excited to see the full results at 6 weeks.

My experience on the diet has been very pleasant.  I have plenty of energy and a happy mood.  I was afraid I would be hungry and have hangry problems but that has not been the case.  The only time I feel hungry are days that I do a lot of extra movement like working in the yard or going on a long walk with my wife and kids (the kids really take it out of you).  The hunger is easily remedied with a little extra protein to make up for the extra calorie expenditure.

My favorite part about this program is that it teaches you how to eat properly.  Each meal consists of meat, veggies, fruit, an optional salad and even bread.  Yes folks, I am losing weight this quickly (and healthily) and still eating bread! There are no prepackaged foods.  Everything I eat is purchased at the grocery store.  Once I reach my goal weight I can simply increase my portion sizes and maintain the new weight, because ChiroThin teaches proper eating habits.  Learning how to eat healthy will result in maintaining a healthy weight for life.

If you are considering a weight loss program, Dr. Wall or I would happily provide a free weight loss consultation to explain how our program works.  We can make sure ChiroThin is the right choice to meet your personal weight loss goals.
