Then, Jefferey Jaxen breaks down new questions surrounding sunscreen, skin cancer, vitamin D, and whether decades of public health messaging around sun exposure may be due for a closer look.

And celebrity chef Pete Evans joins Del in The HighWire Kitchen to share the recipes, ingredients, and kitchen secrets fueling the MAHA movement—and why real food may be the ultimate health hack.
