Hey friend,

• Do you drag through the day no matter how much rest or coffee you get?
• Could your “normal” labs actually be too low for you to feel well?
• What if the missing piece of your energy puzzle is as simple as vitamin D?

In this episode, I’m kicking off a 3-part series on the shifts that helped me finally feel calm, energized, and clear again. Today, we’re focusing on vitamin D.

I’ll share why addressing chronic exhaustion and fatigue isn’t just about feeling tired, and how small, daily micro habits can make a big difference. Even if you’ve been told your levels are “normal,” you might still feel anything but normal. If you’ve been struggling with brain fog, sleep hygiene, or inflammation, this episode will give you insights to start feeling better and boost energy naturally.
