Alright, it's time today to talk about something that I've been talking about a fair amount with my own doctor, therapist and clients but I haven't mentioned anything on IG until today: Vitamin D. Essentially, there's a lot of research out there suggesting that low Vitamin D levels can increase depression and/or anxiety symptoms, so it is definitely something worth getting tested for in your routine bloodwork, because this is a simple solution to a possible chemical problem. ... And, if not for mental health concerns, then definitely do it in order to ensure proper absorption of calcium and immune system functioning, among others. Because a healthy body = a healthy mind and visa versa. And, just to be clear, Vitamin D is definitely not a cure all for mental health issues, but it is one factor that, if deficient, can have a negative influence and, therefore, it needs to be considered. . . . . . . . . . . . . #vitamind #vitamind3 #holistictherapist #holistictherapy #holisticcounselling #holistichealth #holistichealing #positiveaffirmations #selfgrowthjourney #selfreflect #radicalacceptance #higherself #selfdiscovery #personaldevelopment #personaldevelopmentjourney #findyourpurpose #gratitude #gratitudepractice #mindbodysoul #wellnesscoach #wellnesswednesday #wellnessday #wellnesslifestyle #wellnessblogger #wellnessadvocate #wellnesswarrior #mindbodyspirit #mindbodyawareness
