The Importance of Vitamin D3: Why You Shouldn’t Be Deficient
Vitamin D3, also known as the "sunshine vitamin," is an essential nutrient with wide-ranging benefits, yet many people are deficient, even those who live in sunny climates. In this video, we’ll cover why vitamin D3 is so important, what it does for your body, and how to ensure you're getting enough.
What is Vitamin D3?
Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is a fat-soluble vitamin that acts like a hormone in the body, regulating many vital functions. It’s produced naturally when our skin is exposed to sunlight, but you can also get it from specific foods and supplements. Because it’s fat-soluble, vitamin D3 should be taken with a fat source for optimal absorption—like a meal that includes olive oil, avocado, nuts, or another healthy fat.
The Benefits of Vitamin D3
Why Many People Are Deficient in Vitamin D3
Despite its nickname, the "sunshine vitamin," vitamin D3 deficiency is widespread, even among those who live in sunny regions. People who work indoors, wear sunscreen, or have limited direct sunlight exposure often struggle to maintain adequate levels. And since vitamin D3 is challenging to get from food alone, many find they need a supplement to reach their recommended intake.
Recommended Daily Intake
For most adults, a daily intake of 1,000 to 3,000 IU of vitamin D3 is generally recommended. Because vitamin D3 is fat-soluble, it’s most effectively absorbed when taken with a fat-containing meal. This daily amount helps maintain healthy levels without risking toxicity, particularly for those who may not get enough sun exposure. It’s always best to consult your healthcare provider, who can check your vitamin D levels and offer guidance on the best dosage for your needs.

🎥💦 Are BCAAs Worth It? Here’s What You Need to Know!
Hey everyone! 👋 Today, I’m breaking down the subtle but helpful benefits of BCAAs and why they might be worth adding to your routine. You may not feel a huge difference when you start taking them, but sometimes it’s those small, consistent gains that add up!
💪 What Are BCAAs? They’re essential amino acids (leucine, isoleucine, and valine) that help with muscle recovery, maintaining lean muscle, and giving you a little more endurance during workouts.
✨ Subtle Benefits:
🚰 BONUS: BCAAs are a great way to encourage drinking more water! Flavored BCAA drinks make hydrating fun and can help you stay on top of your daily water intake, which is super important for recovery, energy, and overall health.
I personally recommend 1st Phorm BCAAs for a high-quality formula that tastes amazing and mixes smoothly. Try it out and let me know what you think!

🚨 MEAL TIMING & FAT LOSS: DOES IT REALLY MATTER? 🚨
The truth is, when it comes to shedding fat, meal timing doesn’t directly impact your results as long as you’re in a calorie deficit. 🔥 Your body cares more about overall calories in vs. calories out than the exact times you eat!
BUT… 🤔
Spacing out your meals evenly throughout the day can make a big difference in how you feel. You’re less likely to get those hunger spikes, energy crashes, or cravings that can throw you off track. Plus, keeping your energy levels steady helps you crush your workouts and stay active!
So, find a routine that fits your lifestyle, keeps you satisfied, and helps you stay consistent. That’s the real key! 🔑

Fiber might not get the spotlight it deserves, but it’s a game-changer for your health! From boosting digestion to supporting heart health, adding enough fiber to your diet can make a huge difference. Here's why you need to prioritize fiber every day:
✅ Improves Digestion – Keeps things moving smoothly and helps prevent constipation.
✅ Supports Heart Health – Soluble fiber helps lower cholesterol and promotes a healthy heart.
✅ Controls Blood Sugar – Slows the absorption of sugar to prevent spikes and crashes.
✅ Promotes Weight Loss – Fiber-rich foods keep you full longer, making it easier to stay on track with your goals.
The best way to get fiber is through Whole Foods—fruits, veggies, whole grains, and legumes. But if you're falling short, I recommend adding a supplement like 1st Phorm Fiber to help hit your daily goal of at least 30 grams. 🌱
