Can you guess WHAT? We CONNECT online more than ever for learning, events, meeting friends and family, music, fun!....just about everything.
COLLABORATE
So... I moved all my events online too. Several like-minded (think health & wellness) friends and I are collaborating as guest speakers to bring you SHORT Zoom (15 minutes then a brief Q&A, not kidding) to inspire, engage, educate and add value to your Health & Wellness Toolbox!
CONCISE
We will have several concise LIVE events every month! We get right to the point!
Enjoy more content after the event (at your leisure) as recordings, notes (so you don't have to take them) recipes, cheat sheets or whatever content our speakers choose to send you.

Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), with a clinical outcome ranging from mild to severe, including death. To date, it is unclear why some patients develop severe symptoms. Many authors have suggested the involvement of vitamin D in reducing the risk of infections; thus, we retrospectively investigated the 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations in plasma obtained from a cohort of patients from Switzerland. In this cohort, significantly lower 25(OH)D levels (p = 0.004) were found in PCR-positive for SARS-CoV-2 (median value 11.1 ng/mL) patients compared with negative patients (24.6 ng/mL); this was also confirmed by stratifying patients according to age >70 years. On the basis of this preliminary observation, vitamin D supplementation might be a useful measure to reduce the risk of infection. Randomized controlled trials and large population studies should be conducted to evaluate these recommendations and to confirm our preliminary observation. View Full-Text
