EP. 267: Get Strong with Me Inside my NEW Strength Vault: https://www.drtyna.com/offers/G33fSdvS

We’ve been told for decades to stay out of the sun, wear more sunscreen, and avoid UV exposure at all costs. But what if we got the story wrong?

In this episode, I sit down with Jonathan Jarecki, a biology student and one of the brightest young voices in the sunlight and circadian health space. We unpack the growing body of research on sunlight, mitochondria, metabolism, blood sugar regulation, cardiovascular health, and why our modern indoor lifestyles may be contributing to many of the chronic health issues we see today.

Topics Discussed:

→ Is sunlight actually good for your health?

→ Are LED lights harming your metabolism?

→ Can sunlight improve blood sugar levels?

→ Does sun exposure increase skin cancer risk?

→ How does morning sunlight affect your circadian rhythm?
