Summary: Jim Stephenson Jr., a leading expert in vitamin D biology with over 20 years of research experience, emphasizes the importance of natural vitamin D sources, such as sunlight and food, for optimal health. Contrary to its name, vitamin D is a hormone, not a vitamin. Studies on vitamin D supplementation reveal limited benefits for conditions like autoimmunity, obesity, cancer, and osteoporosis, and may even cause harm due to numerous side effects.  Jim's Substack: https://substack.com/@jimstephensonjr

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
