Vitamin D is sometimes called the “sunshine vitamin” because it’s produced in your skin in response to sunlight. It’s a fat-soluble vitamin in a family of compounds that includes vitamins D-1, D-2, and D-3. People who have brown skin, block the sun’s rays and tend to have lower Vitamin D level. Physicians can diagnose a Vitamin D deficiency by performing a simple blood test, so make sure you get your levels checked regularly. ___ Here a just a few of the notable benefits of Vitamin D: -Modulates the immune system which prevents over-reaction (Remember the cytokine storm we talked about a few months ago) -Reduces Depression -Helps maintain strong bones ___ 
To optimize your health, it’s important that you consume a whole food plant-based diet, exercise, and drink you water. Remember “Rome wasn’t built in a day,” and your health isn’t optimized overnight. Stay consistent, take your supplements, and #WearYourMask! #StayWell #AskDrJill #WellAware #VitaminD+K2

Hospitals are flooded with patients, our staff is overwhelmed and we’re debating whether to mandate mask or not! - It’s up to us to keep ourselves and our babies safe.

Many of my patients will tell you, in my previous office I had signs posted that read “We will no longer accept excuses for not exercise!” Often people correlate exercise strictly with weight loss, but there are many other benefits independent of weight loss! Here are the top 5 benefits of exercise not related to weight loss: 1. Improve your memory and brain function (all age groups) 2. Lower blood pressure and improve heart health. 3. Improve your quality of sleep, reduce feelings of anxiety and depression. 4. Combat cancer-related fatigue, and increase overall life span. 5. Improve joint pain and stiffness, while maintaining muscle strength and balance. Just 30-minutes a day makes a tremendous difference in your l quality of life. Let’s get moving. Have a fabulous Friday! #AskDrJill #YourFavoriteAuntyDoc #Dance #LetsMove #KnowledgeIsPower #FightDisease

Happy Thursday! ✨ Knowledge is power, but sometimes too much power isn’t a good thing! The internet is an incredible resource, but it’s important that you don’t let the internet dictate your “medical advice.” 🤔 As doctors we examine things with a different perspective, so we don’t always agree with Google. This is just a reminder to always review what “Google” said with your doctor. I hope you get a little laugh out of this! My team decided it’s time I start creating reels 🤣. What do you think?

Recently I had the distinct pleasure of co-hosting ‘Conversations with America’ with @bishopjakes. - Along with three of the world’s most dynamic experts we tackled questions about the COVID vaccine.
