Dr. Katie Varman discusses the benefits of sunlight for overall health, extending way beyond Vitamin D.  She discusses how the sun damages skin and integrative health strategies to mitigate the damaging effects of UV radiation through diet, supplementation, and UV protection.     Dr. Varman is a board-certified dermatologist and owner of Shine Functional Dermatology in Northern California. She has a special interest in photo-dermatology and enjoys speaking as an expert on the interaction between sunlight, skin, and the immune system. Her commitment to functional medicine shapes her approach to care, and she is dedicated to reversing chronic skin conditions with dietary and lifestyle interventions.
