My doctor says I have a vitamin D deficiency. What does this mean and how can I treat it?

Vitamin D deficiency is common in the winter months, as sunlight exposure decreases during that time of year. Symptoms of a deficiency include fatigue, bone pain, weakness, depression, and low immunity. To treat a vitamin D deficiency, you should get more sun exposure, eat foods high in vitamin D, or take supplements. You may also want to consider seeing an endocrinologist for further evaluation and treatment options.
