Take some vitamin D.
That's one hell of a pickup line?

Hahahaha, smart to add the /s
Not sure why you're being downvoted.
Swedish(?) studies show probably 86%+ of people are D deficient, and most significantly deficient. And low D causes all sorts of dysfunction. (For example IIRC, it has an important role in glucose metabolism, which affects everything).
We just don't go outside as much as we need to.
Only takes minutes a day in most locales, and don't need a lot of skin exposed.
There's an app (definitely on Android, but think it's also on iOS) called D-minder to find the time of day you can get proper exposure for your body to produce D.
Supplements can help, but they fall short of the effectiveness of sun exposure.
