Our relationship with the sun is undeniably complex. The sun plays a vital role in sustaining life for both plants and humans. Plants and organisms rely on photosynthesis to grow and thrive, while our bodies benefit from the sun's influence on our circadian rhythm, regulating our sleep-wake cycles.

Join me on this week's podcast episode as I shed light on the incredible benefits and potential risks associated with sun exposure.
