A recent study found that individuals with higher vitamin D levels during midlife had lower amounts of tau protein buildup in the brain years later (one of the key markers associated with Alzheimer’s disease). Do you now understand why I say you have to have a vitamin D above 70ng/mL to be my friend? Researchers believe midlife may be one of the most important windows for prevention and long-term brain health support.

Healthy aging starts with intentional living and focusing on the foundational pillars that support long-term wellness:

• Nutrition
• Movement
• Inner alignment
• Positive social connection

Vitamin D is just one important piece of the puzzle. Other biomarkers like homocysteine, inflammation markers, blood sugar balance, hormone health, and nutrient status can also provide insight into cognitive health, cardiovascular function, energy, and overall aging.

The good news? Many of these factors are modifiable. Small, consistent lifestyle choices today can help support how you feel and function years from now. For vitamin D, it’s as simple as supplementing with a high quality, appropriate dose of Vitamin D.

Wouldn’t you want to know if your vitamin D levels and other key biomarkers could be potentially impacting your future brain health? Our Journeys Advanced Biomarker Testing Service is designed to support a prevention-focused approach to wellness by giving you a deeper look into your biomarkers and what they may reveal about your long-term health, aging, and overall inner alignment.
