Plus, the brain fog and Vitamin D connection
I was starting to experience brain fog, and my primary care provider was a little passive about it, says Base member D. Edwards from Baltimore, MD. The response I got from him was: No, youre fine, couldnt be better! I didnt even get a chance to have labs run. But I knew something felt off, so I thought, okay, this is something Ill have to figure out myself.
I chose to start with Bases Energy Test. My HbA1c was just a few points over normal, so I wasnt too alarmed about that. But my vitamin D was in the dumps. When I reviewed my results in the app, I thought, Ive got to work on this vitamin D thing.I like being in control of my health, and Base provides suggestions that are personalized based on your results. Read more about the steps D. Edwards took to improve his vitamin D levels here.
