so i just started seeing this longevity doctor and they did a massive round of bloodwork on me. my vitamin d levels came back at 20.1 which is basically right on the edge of being severely low since they told me anything under 20 is dangerous territory.
now that i've been reading up on it i keep seeing all this stuff about how being deficient can cause serious depression and anxiety plus brain fog and just feeling totally drained. honestly i been dealing with a lot of that lately. especially now that the sun is going down so early and the weather is getting crappy. it really seems to be hitting me harder this year.
just curious if anyone else has supplemented d3 because they were low? did you actually notice a difference with things like your mood or focus or is it just hype? i really hope it helps with this lethargy cuz i feel like i cant connect with anything lately.
yeah mine was low like that too and d3 actually helped more than i expected. mood felt lighter after a few weeks
winter + low vitamin d is a brutal combo, you’re definitely not imagining it
brain fog and that flat drained feeling was real for me until i fixed it
give it some time though, it’s not instant but it slowly creeps in
hope it helps you man, feeling disconnected like that sucks and you’re not alone at
yeah mine was low too last winter and ngl supplementing D3 actually helped my mood a lot after a few weeks. wasn’t instant but it was noticeable
that lethargy + brain fog combo sounds exactly like how I felt when my levels were trash. getting them up made me feel way more human
seasonal stuff hits way harder when D is low imo. once I started taking it consistently I stopped feeling so flat all the time
it’s not hype but it’s also not magic overnight. give it a month or so and you might be surprised how much better you feel
20 is pretty low so it makes sense you’re feeling off. hope it helps man, that disconnected feeling sucks big time
been there man, my doc freaked when mine was in the low 20s too. D3 + a bit of sun helped more than I expected
I didn’t think a vitamin could mess with mood that much but once I fixed it the anxiety eased up a ton
winter + low D is a brutal combo. supplementing made mornings way less miserable for me
took a few weeks but the fog lifted and I stopped feeling like I was dragging my body around all day
