Think you’re getting enough vitamin D just because the sun’s out? You might want to think again.

This week we’re diving into the sunshine vitamin - what it does, why it’s vital for your health, and how to know if you’re running low.

In this episode, I’ll explain:
– Why vitamin D is crucial for calcium absorption and immune support
– The seasonal drop in levels and why we make none in winter
– How low levels can affect your mood, metabolism, and hormone balance
– Why I always recommend combining vitamin D with vitamin K2
– How to top up safely with food, sunlight, and high-quality supplements

Whether you’ve had a recent blood test and want to understand the results, or just want to feel more energised and resilient, this one’s worth a listen.

🙏 A huge thank you to our podcast sponsors, Revive Active, whose supplements include a well-absorbed, maintenance dose of vitamin D3 + K2 - one of the reasons their range is my go-to for foundational support in midlife and beyond.
