#433 ENCORE: Why Vitamin D Supplements Could Be Making You Worse with Morley Robbins
🚨🚨🚨Watch Christa's free training here: christabiegler.com/blueprint
For the next four weeks on the Less Stressed Life, we’re republishing listener-favorite episodes from 2025.
This week, we’re revisiting a powerful conversation with Morley Robbins, creator of the Root Cause Protocol and expert in mineral metabolism, to unpack why high-dose vitamin D supplements might actually be making symptoms worse instead of better.
In this eye-opening episode, we explore why low vitamin D on a lab test doesn’t always equal deficiency, how inflammation and hidden infections can disrupt vitamin D metabolism, and why minerals like magnesium, copper, and retinol are essential for proper function. If you’re struggling with fatigue, hormone issues, or have been told you’re vitamin D deficient, this conversation may completely shift how you think about healing.
