☀️Vitamin D – “The Sunshine Nutrient”

⸻

🧠 What It Does

Vitamin D helps your body do three major things:
• Absorb calcium (so your bones stay strong)
• Regulate the immune system (helps prevent illness, not just fight it)
• Support mood and brain function (low levels have been linked to depression and fatigue)

It’s also involved in muscle strength, hormone production, and inflammation control.

⸻

🔍 Why It Matters

Vitamin D is like your body’s light switch. Without it, calcium can’t be used properly—even if you’re eating plenty. It’s also a huge player in immune defense, especially when it comes to chronic inflammation and respiratory illness.

Low Vitamin D levels have been connected to everything from bone loss to autoimmune conditions to seasonal depression. And get this—most people are low and don’t know it.

⸻

🚨 Signs You Might Be Low
• Fatigue or feeling “blah” for no clear reason
• Bone pain or frequent fractures
• Weak immune system—always catching something
• Muscle weakness or achiness
• Depression or low mood (especially in winter)

⸻

🔗 What Helps It Work Better
• Magnesium – helps activate Vitamin D in the liver and kidneys
• Vitamin K2 – directs calcium into the bones (not arteries)
• Calcium – partners with D for strong bones
• Healthy fats – needed for absorption since it’s fat-soluble
• Sunlight – your skin actually makes Vitamin D with UVB rays

📝 Some people struggle to convert sunlight to Vitamin D efficiently—especially with darker skin, sunscreen, limited sun exposure, or living in northern latitudes.

⸻

🥦 Best Food Sources
• Fatty fish (salmon, mackerel, sardines)
• Egg yolks
• Liver
• Mushrooms (especially UV-exposed)

💡 Food sources help, but it’s hard to get optimal levels from diet alone—especially if you’re not in the sun regularly.

⸻

💬 Bonus Tip

Take Vitamin D with a meal that contains fat to boost absorption. And if you’re supplementing, consider pairing it with K2 to make sure the calcium goes to your bones—not your arteries.

When it comes to exercise, the most important part is finding something you enjoy doing. And DO IT.

If you want to improve your strength, endurance, and/or muscle growth - progressive overload is essential.

✅ Vitamin A – “The Vision & Defense Nutrient”

⸻

🧠 What It Does

Vitamin A is crucial for three big things:
• Eyesight (especially night vision)
• Skin health (keeps it smooth, strong, and able to heal)
• Immune defense (it’s like armor for your respiratory and gut lining)

It also helps your body grow new cells and supports reproductive health.

⸻

🔍 Why It Matters

Without enough Vitamin A, your body loses some of its frontline protection. You might get sick more often, your skin might look dull or dry, and your night vision can suffer (literally seeing worse in low light).

Vitamin A keeps the surfaces of your body—eyes, lungs, gut—healthy and able to fight off bacteria, viruses, and inflammation. If your body’s “shields” are weak, you’ll feel it.

⸻

🚨 Signs You Might Be Low
• Poor night vision or dry eyes
• Dry, flaky skin or slow wound healing
• Getting sick often
• Brittle hair or weak nails
• In severe cases: bumps on the skin (keratosis pilaris), infertility, or delayed growth in kids

⸻

🔗 What Helps It Work Better
• Zinc – helps your body transport and use Vitamin A
• Fat – since it’s fat-soluble, you need healthy fat to absorb it (think avocado, olive oil, nuts)
• Vitamin E – protects Vitamin A from oxidation (especially in supplements)
• Iron – low iron can impair Vitamin A metabolism

⸻

🥦 Best Food Sources
• Liver (most concentrated source—but not for everyone)
• Sweet potatoes, carrots, butternut squash (rich in beta-carotene)
• Dark leafy greens like spinach and kale
• Eggs
• Full-fat dairy (cheese, butter)
• Red/orange fruits: cantaloupe, mango

🧠 Balance Training = Injury Insurance + Performance Boost

Balance is central to how you move, lift, and live. Here’s how to build it into your current routine and types of balance-focused training that make an impact:

⸻

🏋️‍♂️ Strength Training
• Single-leg RDLs
• Bulgarian split squats
• Offset carries (suitcase or KB front rack)
• One-arm standing press or rows

⸻

🏃‍♂️ Cardio Conditioning
• Trail running / hiking (uneven terrain = natural balance work)
• Jump rope with landing control
• Agility ladder with pauses or direction changes

⸻

🤸‍♂️ Balance-Focused Disciplines
• Yoga (especially standing flows, Warrior III, tree pose)
• Pilates (core + control + proprioception)
• Martial arts (stance, control, reactive balance)
• Dance (coordination + dynamic stability)

⸻

🔄 Neuromuscular Drills
• Single-leg balance w/ eyes closed
• Lateral bounds ➝ stick the landing
• Step-ups with torso rotation
• Single-leg ball toss

⸻

🔚 The Point:

You don’t need fancy equipment. You need intentional instability.
Balance is a skill—train it like strength. Sprinkle it into everything.

This video is designed for beginners who are brand new to calculating macros. If you’re already advanced or deep into nutrition tracking, this might be too basic for you. The goal here is to simplify, not to go deep into nuance or edge cases. Advanced strategies, adjustments, and exceptions aren’t covered—on purpose. Disclaimer: This video is for educational purposes only and is intended for beginners learning how to calculate their own macros. It is not medical advice, nutrition therapy, or a substitute for professional guidance. Always consult a licensed healthcare provider, registered dietitian, or qualified professional before making changes to your diet, especially if you have any medical conditions.

Let’s talk about SLEEP.😴
It’s not just rest — it’s repair.

While you’re asleep, your body ramps up its healing processes. It’s when the real work happens behind the scenes: rebuilding, regulating, recharging.

Here’s what quality sleep supports:

⸻

🧬 Physical Health
• Strengthens your immune system
• Repairs tissues + builds muscle
• Supports heart health
• Balances hormones
• Helps regulate weight and metabolism

🧠 Mental Health
• Stabilizes mood and emotions
• Lowers risk of anxiety and depression
• Reduces stress hormones like cortisol
• Improves emotional resilience

⚙️ Cognitive Function
• Consolidates memories
• Sharpens focus and decision-making
• Enhances learning and creativity
• Speeds up problem solving

⸻

But here’s the catch: if your nervous system is stuck in “fight or flight,” you’re not getting into the deep, healing stages of sleep — no matter how early you go to bed.

That’s where chiropractic comes in.

⸻

How Chiropractic Supports Better Sleep:
• Reduces pain and physical tension
• Calms the nervous system (goodbye sympathetic overdrive)
• Improves posture and breathing mechanics
• Helps establish healthier sleep rhythms

And here’s something most people don’t know:
Chiropractic care can influence brainwave activity.

Adjustments affect alpha, beta, and theta brainwaves — which helps your brain transition more efficiently into delta wave sleep. That’s the deep, restorative sleep where real healing takes place. Think of it like downshifting your brain so your body can repair itself properly.

⸻

If you’re doing everything right — diet, exercise, hydration, supplements — but still waking up tired or tossing and turning, don’t ignore your spine and nervous system.

Your brain and body can’t heal when they’re stuck in survival mode.

🔥 Why You Should Walk After You Eat (Seriously)

A 10–15 minute walk after meals isn’t just “nice”—it’s a metabolic power move.

Here’s what it does:
1. Lowers blood sugar spikes – improves insulin sensitivity & reduces fat storage
2. Aids digestion – less bloating, reflux, and sluggishness
3. Reduces triglyceride buildup – helps nutrients go to muscle, not fat
4. Boosts mood & clarity – fights brain fog & stress
5. Supports long-term fat loss – adds consistent movement to your day

How to do it:
👣 Walk within 30 mins of eating
⏱️ 10–20 minutes is ideal (even 5 helps)
🧘 Light pace—you should be able to talk

Don’t overthink it. Just walk.
