Dr. Chris Meletis, ND looks at vitamin D from a functional medicine perspective. "The Sunshine Vitamin" is more than just that - vitamin D is also a hormone - and it plays a crucial role in patient health. Yet, the vast majority of our patients are stuck in the "shade" of indoor living, putting them at risk for vitamin D deficiency. Clinically, we want to know our patients’ vitamin D levels, yet many insurance plans to do not cover routine testing. A simple dried blood spot test, collected in-office by finger stick, offers a convenient solution for many patients. This webinar presents clinical research to support the importance of vitamin D testing, and the impact your patients' levels' may have on the following conditions:
- Blood Pressure
- Glucose Control
- Autoimmunity
- Cardiovascular Health
- Immune Function
- Body Pain and Weakness
- Osteoporosis
- And even mortality….
