Welcome to Revolutionary Health. I am your host, Stephanie Center. I'm going to keep this intro short and sweet, since we have a long episode. Today I have 2 guests: Morley Robbins is returning for his 5th guest appearance on my show and Jim Stephenson Jr! These are TITANS in the vitamin D world. Their understanding far surpasses anyone I've ever read from or talked to about this subject.
I would really encourage you, if you can, to watch this episode on YouTube. Jim shares a lot of really helpful slides and it's just easier to understand what he is talking about if you can see the data.
You can find the YouTube video of this episode by visiting my website www.theholistichouse.org and clicking on the podcast button at the top of the menu.
In this episode we will cover:

Why 25-(OH)D is a terrible assessment of vitamin D deficiency
Why storage D isn't a good marker for sick people.
Why there is no benefit to having a storage D over 21 when the current recommended range is 30-100.
The Epstein-Barr connection
Vitamin D and autoimmune diseases
How vitamin D is metabolized. Hint: it requires magnesium
How vitamin D depletes vitamin A and what that means for your susceptibility to illness
