Two weeks ago, I got the scariest phone call of my life. I had cancer. It was melanoma. I love the sun so much, but did my sun exposure put my life at risk? This is what I was grappling with when I discovered Rowan Jacobsen's new book, In Defense of Sunlight, which basically flips everything that I have ever heard about sun exposure on its head. It says we’re all treating the sun, and sunscreen, completely wrong.
Rowan Jacobsen was a Knight Science Journalism fellow at MIT, which put him in the rare position of getting to research the science of the sun on every aspect of our health.
You’re going to learn the real science behind sun exposure, sunscreen use, preventing heart disease, autoimmune diseases, depression, anxiety, and more.
🎧 What you’ll learn:
• The 4 major ways the sun impacts your overall health
• The 6 skin types and how to approach the sun with each
• The truth about Vitamin D supplements
• The shocking study showing smart light bulbs reduced depression
• Why you actually shouldn't stress over blue light
• Why being among trees is essentially free red light therapy
