In this episode, we break down the science of sunlight on the skin, why vitamin D isn’t the only thing to focus on, and how melanin, infrared light, and even seasonal shifts impact your overall well-being. We also dive into the misconceptions around vitamin D testing, why relying solely on blood levels can be misleading, and how to train your body to intuitively get the right amount of sun. If you’re wondering whether you should supplement, how your body truly synthesizes vitamin D, or why seasonal depression hits hard, this episode is packed with insights to help you navigate it all.
