Intro: 1 – 16 minutes 

Topic: 16 – 57 minutes

Tip of The Week: 57 – 60 minutes

In this week’s podcast, we discuss some of the dangers of using traditional sunscreen products. The chemicals used in sunscreen that block the UV radiation from the sun have been shown to cause various health effects and can be disruptive to our endocrine system leading to altered estrogen, androgen, and progesterone activity. 

We give advice on how to better protect yourself when you’re going to be out in the sun for extended periods of time as well as give recommendations on what type of sunscreen to use if you choose to still use it.

If you currently use sunscreen frequently, or know anyone who does, you should listen to this week’s podcast.
