As a fellow computer nerd, I bought into the same narratives. That's how I ended up approaching Vitamin D toxicity as I mentioned above.

That's my point: The narratives around Vitamin D are getting greatly exaggerated. Mild supplementation is usually fine, but this idea that we're all deficient and we all need to be taking huge doses is getting out of control on social media.

I was told by my doctor I was, about a year before covid hit. Now I take vitamin D and C supplements and try to spend more time outside. My guess is that a lot of indoor computer workers are going to be deficient, but it's something your bloodwork can show you.

Ugh. I just went 8 years without seeing the sun. I need to get my levels checked.
