About this episode
This episode discusses the importance of Vitamin D for children, including risks, testing, and supplementation options.
Vitamin D is one of the most common deficiencies in children and one of the most overlooked. If your child has never been tested, this episode is worth a listen. In this episode, Steph breaks down everything you need to know about vitamin D for kids: which children are most at risk for low levels, what your labs are actually telling you (and what they might be missing) and how to choose a supplement your child will consistently take. If your child has been getting sick over and over or if vitamin D has never come up at a well visit, this one is for you.
