In a Nutshell

A neurologist discovered that vitamin D is actually a hormone, not a vitamin, and that indoor living has created widespread vitamin D deficiency causing sleep disorders, headaches, and chronic pain in young people. The solution involves raising vitamin D blood levels above 60, then taking B50 complex for 3 months to restore the gut microbiome that produces B vitamins naturally, followed by a multivitamin until the body resumes self-production. This approach restored normal sleep patterns and eliminated symptoms in patients with conditions like daily headaches, postpartum depression, and sleep apnea.

The vitamin world is giving the wrong advice. If you do not know what you're doing with them, they're just as dangerous as any drug you could put in your mouth. Supplementing with vitamin D is not the same as being outdoors because we absorb it through our skin. What we've been told is don't ever let the sun touch your skin. When we're deficient in this vitamin, our brain actually forgets how to sleep.

As a neurologist, billions around the world have a sleep problem, but no one's treating it. The usual sleep treatment is behavioral like blackout curtains, go to bed at the same time. That is not something that's helped the people who wind up in treatment. They've tried all that already. Clinical experience includes taking care of 28-year-olds who just had a stroke. Strokes are associated with being old and having diabetes and hypertension and heart disease, but this is occurring in young people.

A whole bunch of sleep studies were done because some exciting things were found by accident that turn out to have to do with vitamin deficiencies and deficiencies that have developed from being indoors too much. The effects of being indoors are being felt like obesity. There are no obese squirrels in the backyard. The only obese animals are cats and dogs that are kept inside. Most of the sleep disorders are really linked to the gut, the microbiome. One of the interesting things learned was that vitamin D is a hormone. There was a mistake made in calling it a vitamin.
