☀️ Vitamin D — Your Winter Resilience Booster - But there’s a catch!
As the days get darker and shorter, many of us feel the shift—lower energy, lower mood, and more susceptibility to colds and viruses. One small but mighty nutrient plays a big role in all of this: Vitamin D.
Often called the sunshine vitamin, Vitamin D is essential for:
• Immune strength during cold and flu season
• Mental health support, especially in the winter slump
• Overall resilience, helping your mind and body stay strong when daylight is limited
Here’s the catch:
Many people assume the small amount in a daily multivitamin is enough—but for most adults living in northern climates, it’s not. In Canada, our winter sunlight just isn’t strong enough for our skin to make adequate Vitamin D, which is why deficiency is so common.
Personally, I increase my intake to 5,000 IU during the winter months to keep my energy, mood, and immunity strong.
Disclaimer: Please check with your healthcare provider and do your own research before increasing any supplements—everyone’s body and needs are different.
When we take care of the basics, we strengthen our resilience. This winter, give yourself the support you need to show up with clarity, steadiness, and well-being.
A little sunshine in a bottle can go a long way. ☀️
Let’s continue making wellness a priority.
