#124: Vitamin D with Dr. Frank Cusimano (Nutrients of Concern Series)
“Overall [Vitamin D] deficiency is also associated with cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, depression, multiple sclerosis, and tuberculosis…” -Dr. Frank Cusimano
Dr. Frank Cusimano is a true scientist. He is a PhD, but is also pursuing his medical degree. He also loves talking about Vitamin D so I knew he would be perfect to start off this series on nutrients of concern.
