đź“» I'm applying sunscreen wrong... and maybe Iowa is too (w/ Dr. Marta Van Beek) - Cornhole Champions Interview


Listen Later

Iowa ranks fifth nationally for melanoma—a rate similar to Arizona—and the reason might surprise you. It's not just about UV radiation. It's about who's spending their days outside and how we protect ourselves.

Toss some bags with a dermatologist about why Iowa's skin cancer rate is high and what you can do to reduce your chances of being part of the statistic.
