I’m joined by Nadine Artemis on this episode. Nadine is the Creator and Founder of Living Libations, a company I am very passionate about, which takes the wisdom of plants and blends them into total body wellness, beauty and natural care products. This episode comes at a perfect time as we head into spring because we are talking about all things sun-loving, sun-worshiping, sun revering, and their implications for our health.

Many of us tend to live predominantly indoors but the majority of living things on the planet, including our skin, have been designed to be exposed to solar rays. Of course, we don’t want to get burned, but there is an entire range of activities we really need that we miss by avoiding the sun. Nadine and I talk about the importance of sun exposure to increase bone health, fight disease, build up our immune systems, and of course, increase our levels of Vitamin D.

Our bodies are like solar batteries, and we need to have that solar exposure to charge the systems of the body through safe sun rituals. This is the time of year when we can slowly expose ourselves to direct sunlight to start building up our tolerance and our melanin. There is so much fear of the sun, and women are constantly faced with unattainable pressures to not have wrinkles. However, Nadine shares some renegade advice on sunlight and health and debunks the major myths around skin, sun, and aging.

Listen in to hear how engaging with the elements, graceful aging, and celebrating our bodies in a new way are the alternative to injecting fillers, applying chemicals, and eating processed foods, which all increase the likelihood of major damage once we are in the sun.
