Vitamin D is involved in everything from making hormones to supporting immune function to building strong bones and countless other biological functions. I explain the step-by-step Functional Medicine protocol to balancing your hormones in a recent episode of The Doctor’s Farmacy. You can find the full episode on your fav

Scientists confirm that Vitamin D behaves more like a steroid hormone than a traditional vitamin. It is synthesized in the skin via sunlight and then converted into an active hormone that binds to vitamin D receptors present in nearly every cell type. Once activated, Vitamin D influences gene expression, immune responses, calcium regulation, muscle function, and even mood. This hormone-like behavior explains why deficiency is linked to weakened immunity, bone loss, inflammation, and higher disea
