Is it vitamin D deficiency that causes low cortisol, or is it the cortisol that causes a vitamin D deficiency?
Unfortunately, both can be true. This means that the more stress you go through, the more you could be deficient in vitamin D. But then, a vitamin D deficiency can make you more stressed, causing a cortisol problem.
One of the most effective ways to support healthy vitamin D levels, therefore breaking this cycle of stress, is through regular sun exposure, which enables the body to produce vitamin D naturally.
In addition to sunlight, vitamin D can be obtained from dietary sources such as eggs and fatty fish, including salmon, mackerel, and sardines.
Combining regular sun exposure with these foods can help maintain adequate vitamin D levels to support overall health and wellness.
