I feel like the squirrels gathering food for the winter. It\u2019s likely<br>my genetics but when I feel the crisp air I head outside. There are root vegetables to harvest,<br>mushrooms to gather and wood to stockpile.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>However, in my medical practice, I have seen the downside to a dreary winter. Vitamin D<br>deficiency is quite common in the midwest.&nbsp; Symptoms of a Vitamin D deficiency can include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>lowered immune response to viruses\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>muscle pain and weakness\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>bone and joint pain<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>mood disturbances <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>increased migraines\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>allergies\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>fatigue<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"788\" src=\"https:\/\/omrusstaging.com\/greaterharrisoncc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/vitamin-d-and-office-work.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-482\" style=\"width:412px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/omrusstaging.com\/greaterharrisoncc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/vitamin-d-and-office-work.png 940w, https:\/\/omrusstaging.com\/greaterharrisoncc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/vitamin-d-and-office-work-300x251.png 300w, https:\/\/omrusstaging.com\/greaterharrisoncc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/vitamin-d-and-office-work-768x644.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Decreased Vitamin D Leads to Increased Risks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, decreased Vitamin D can<br>increase risks of cancer and depression as well as infectious, autoimmune and cardiovascular<br>diseases. Vitamin D is a key ingredient supporting your overall health. It helps strengthen bones<br>and supports overall well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin stored in the body\u2019s fatty tissue. When our bodies have an<br>excess of fatty tissue, it is difficult for the Vitamin D to separate from the body fat, so this<br>reduces the amount of Vitamin D available for the body to use.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Incorporate More Vitamin D into Your Day<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The good news? Adding Vitamin D to your diet is relatively easy. Seafood, egg yolk, and<br>mushrooms contain Vitamin D.&nbsp; A supplement can help too. I encourage many of my patients to<br>take Cod Liver Oil. It has anti-inflammatory properties, can lower triglycerides, and helps harden<br>our bodies against the cold.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>It is vital to get off the couch and outside.&nbsp; Outdoor activities are difficult, especially when most<br>of our employment is found indoors. However, a 30 minute daily walk can help immensely.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:34% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greaterharrisoncc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Dr.-Austin-Outdoors-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-487 size-full\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Dr. Trent Austin on a hike<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At AccuDoc Care, we offer traditional urgent care services with the option for more in-depth<br>care. Sometimes, a symptom you have can be treated quickly in the urgent care setting but our<br>providers are trained to dig a little deeper. Often, patients need more care than can be found in<br>an urgent care appointment. For these patients, we also offer natural medicine appointments<br>(primary care with a natural approach) in both Harrison and Batesville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"271\" src=\"https:\/\/omrusstaging.com\/greaterharrisoncc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/accudoc_care_logo-768x271-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-483\" style=\"width:329px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/omrusstaging.com\/greaterharrisoncc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/accudoc_care_logo-768x271-1.png 768w, https:\/\/omrusstaging.com\/greaterharrisoncc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/accudoc_care_logo-768x271-1-300x106.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Dr. Trent Austin and AccuDoc Care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Trent Austin is board certified in Urgent Care Medicine.
