Episode notes
Deficiency vs. Inadequacy
- Micronutrient deficiency means a disease is present, which is rare in developed countries.
- An inadequacy means insufficient intake, causing less obvious symptoms like fatigue.
Essential vs. Non-Essential Nutrients
- Essential nutrients cannot be synthesized by the body, while non-essential ones can.
- Prioritize thriving by consuming enough non-essential nutrients for optimal function, not just survival.
Vitamin D Intake
- Vitamin D insufficiency is a global issue, affecting up to 50% of people.
- Supplement with 1,000-2,000 IU daily and get sun exposure to maintain healthy levels.
