Vitamin D: The Silent Performance Booster You’re Missing

Vitamin D might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think about optimizing your performance, but it’s a silent powerhouse every athlete needs to pay attention to. In this episode, I dive into why vitamin D is critical for energy, recovery, injury prevention, and overall health—and why so many athletes are unknowingly deficient. I share what I’ve seen in my work with athletes: every single blood panel I’ve reviewed shows vitamin D deficiency, regardless of the season. This isn’t just a winter issue—it’s a year-round concern that impacts your ability to perform at your best. We’ll cover how vitamin D supports bone health, muscle strength, and immune function, as well as the hidden signs of deficiency like fatigue, slow recovery, and increased injury risk. You’ll also learn practical solutions for boosting your vitamin D levels, including safe sun exposure, adding vitamin D-rich foods like salmon and fortified milk to your diet, and using high-quality supplements. I’ll explain why not all supplements are created equal and why working with a trusted health provider is key to finding the right products for you. If you’re ready to optimize your health and performance, this episode is packed with actionable insights to help you take control of your internal stats and fuel your success.
