621. Vitamin D and Addictions

There's a mental health crisis in North America – and it's going to kill hundreds of thousands of people. One of the curses in our society today is opioids and addictions.  A study out of The Massachusetts General Hospital is showing that people deficient in vitamin D are much more likely to have addictions, and especially addictions of opioids. Dr. Martin shares the importance of getting your daily dose of vitamin D and gives more reasons why it’s so important for your health – and especially to those with addiction problems. Addicts are constantly looking for their next fix of endorphins, the feel-good hormones. By exposing your skin to the sun, you’re creating those same endorphins – no wonder it feels so good when you’re out in the sun!
