About this listen

  • Extra body fat interferes with how vitamin D works after it enters your body, which explains why low levels often persist despite supplements or sun exposure
  • Vitamin D can become trapped in fat tissue and fail to convert into its usable form, leaving blood tests low even when intake appears sufficient
  • Deep belly fat and liver fat have the strongest impact on vitamin D availability, making waist size more important than body weight alone
  • Taking higher doses of vitamin D doesn't always fix the problem if metabolic signals from excess fat remain unchanged
  • Reducing visceral fat, restoring metabolic health, and supporting proper vitamin D activation help vitamin D function normally again
