There are actual differences in Vitamin D and D3. Here are a few. But basically Vitamin D3 tends to be more bioavailable. Your provider can check your vitamin D and low levels of Vitamin D are very common even in areas that get plenty of sun!

I stepped away from social media because everything became too much - losing my dad, contract time for the practice, just stuff. Took a family vacation and then it became too easy to not be engaged, but I miss the interaction and sharing natural tips for you and your kids. I have a lot of things coming up that will hopefully help with back to school and fall coming up!

Nobody told you the truth about behavioral health and your child. 🧠

The standard of care isn’t the absence of symptoms. It’s — can your child get through a school day? Can they regulate well enough to have friendships? Can your family eat a meal together without it falling apart?

That’s what we’re working toward. Functional improvement. Quality of life.

If you’ve been waiting for your child to be “fixed” — you’ve been measuring the wrong thing.

The goal is a child with better tools. Not a perfect child. 💙

Want the free parent toolkit — including my sleep hygiene guide and parent management guide? Drop CALM in the comments and I’ll send it right to you.
