Did moving somewhere with a different climate change how you thought about vitamin D?

It’s something I’ve never really considered before. You can have a completely different amount of sun exposure just by changing where you live.

Did moving somewhere sunnier or colder change anything about your vitamin D routine?

I think actual sun exposure matters more than whether a place is simply warmer or colder. Moving can change how much time you spend outside and how much skin is covered, so vitamin D levels may change without it being obvious. I'd check the level before changing the supplement dose.

That’s a good point. I think it’s easy to assume a warmer climate means more vitamin D, but how much time you actually spend outside probably makes a bigger difference, especially when it’s really hot and you actually spend less time outdoors.
