So, let’s talk about the high-in-demand vitamins and supplements people are actively looking for nowadays… At my recent doctor’s visit, I discovered that my vitamin D levels were low despite living in sunny Florida.

They don't really do it [at medical school]. So, a lot of times, your primary care providers and just your physicians aren't usually the best people to talk to when it comes to nutrition and supplements, unless we go a little bit extra.” – Dr. Berry Pierre Notable Quotes: “Yes, doctors go to doctors to get appointments as well, like I got to get my checkup. Because imagine if I'm sitting here behind this camera telling you [to] go get your annual physical, go get this screening done, [but] I myself am not doing it. Now, I know doctors can be very hypocritical; you do not have to tell me how hypocritical doctors can be. [But] I try not to be one of them, at least on purpose. I try to practice what I preach.” – Dr. Berry Pierre “Help me help you, and that’s why we’re here in the Lunch and Learn Community.” – Dr. Berry Pierre Mentions: Dr. Berry Pierre’s website Sign Up to Our Weekly Newsletter Dr. Pierre’s Recommended Supplements Sign up at www.listentodrberry.com to join the mailing list.
