In this episode of the Align Podcast, Jonathan Jarecki challenges the fear-based narrative around sunlight and explains how light exposure may influence hormones, vitamin D, skin health, and our biology. Jonathan and Aaron question common claims about sunscreen, sunglasses, sunburn, red light therapy, and sun gazing, while examining how modern indoor living may be weakening our relationship with natural light.
