Question 1

I am experiencing frequent mood fluctuations and get anxious easily. Recently, I have gained a lot of weight despite no changes in my food habits, and my thyroid test is normal. I often feel very sad, have no enthusiasm for anything, and feel like giving up easily. My sleeping patterns have changed drastically, I either sleep too much or very little. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

Question 2

Can I take vitamin D supplements to increase my vitamin D levels and testosterone? I have heard that increasing vitamin D levels can naturally increase testosterone. Can I take vitamin D supplements even if my vitamin D levels are normal? I am allergic to cod liver oil tablets.

Question 3

Hello Doctor, My wife has been experiencing heel pain for several days. After a blood test, the doctor informed us that she has low iron and low hemoglobin, and prescribed protein and multivitamin tablets for iron deficiency. She also finds that when she gets up from a chair, she cannot put full weight on her foot, and the heel pain eases after a few steps. Could you please suggest any tablets or treatment for this heel pain?

I am looking for the best calcium supplement to strengthen my bones for the long term. I have been taking Uprise D3 60,000 IU for two months and am attaching my recent report for your reference.

Great that you are focusing on bone health. After high dose Vitamin D, you can shift to a maintenance dose. Calcium citrate is usually well absorbed. Include milk, leafy greens, and regular walking, too. Opt for early morning sunlight walks.
