In the latest episode, Dr. Martin Rutherford discusses the often-underestimated importance of vitamin D in maintaining overall health. He challenges traditional views about vitamin D, highlighting how common outdoor professions often still fall short on this essential vitamin. Dr. Rutherford suggests that low levels of vitamin D could signal autoimmunity, as it works in conjunction with an antioxidant to boost the T regulatory cells responsible for immune system regulation. He suggests maintaining a higher-than-average level of vitamin D, as it morphs into an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory steroid at these levels, strengthening the immune system and potentially fighting viruses. Observing different global standards, he asserts that the ideal range for vitamin D levels remains contested. Dr. Rutherford also discusses the potent effects of vitamin D supplementation in mitigating symptoms of autoimmune diseases like Hashimoto's, as it can dampen inflammatory responses. In his practice, he considers vitamin D a key component in a personal health maintenance protocol.
