You're probably right. Join Sarah Williams on Fuel Different as she cuts through the nutrition noise with zero BS and actual science that makes sense. Sarah spent a decade as a nutrition researcher before realizing she was way better at explaining why keto works for some people and crashes for others, or why intermittent fasting might be sabotaging your weight loss goals instead of helping them.

But somehow the wellness industry convinced millions this was totally fine. Sarah Williams breaks down the vitamin D danger that supplement companies have been hiding. Turns out those mega-dose pills everyone's popping can actually wreck your kidneys and calcium levels. Who knew? What we cover: • Why vitamin D toxicity cases jumped 1,200% since 2005 (hint: it wasn't an accident) • The kidney limit nobody talks about: your body can only process 1,000-4,000 IU daily • Blood level sweet spots vs. the danger zone above 100 ng/mL • Real dosing that won't send you to the ER Who this is for: Anyone taking vitamin D supplements or wondering if more is actually better. The supplement industry spent decades pushing higher doses while downplaying the risks. Sarah explains exactly what happens when you overdose on the sunshine vitamin, and why your kidneys can't keep up with those massive pills.
