HSW 122 - Sun Avoidance, Artificial Light and Skin Cancer with Zaid Dahhaj

Did you know studies have found no significant association between sunscreen use and reduced risk of skin cancer?  

Given the skin is an extremely important circadian organ that influences every aspect of our biology, have 'experts' got it wrong when it comes to sun exposure?

In this conversation, Audra chats to returning guest, Zaid Dahhaj around the misconceptions and dangers surrounding sun exposure and skin cancer.

Topics include:

- How different spectrums and frequencies of light have various health benefits for the body.
- Melanin - the body's own natural sunscreen.
- How artificial light and sun avoidance can actually lead to chronic inflammation and increase the risk of skin cancer.
- Why chronic inflammation and poor nutrition can contribute to the development of skin cancer. 
- Why removing sunglasses and allowing the eyes and skin to be exposed to natural light is important for optimal health, and much more.
