🎙️ Episode 34 | Valuable Sunscreen Safety to Protect & Support Your Health for Life
Ever wondered if sunscreen is really protecting you—or if it could be causing harm instead? In this episode, I unpack the shocking truth about sunscreen safety, from ancient sun rituals to modern SPF science. You’ll hear my personal journey from tanning with iodine (yep!) to questioning the long list of chemical ingredients we spray on our bodies.
✨ Here’s what we dive into:
- How the sun actually heals your body (mood, sleep, inflammation, and more!)
- Why early morning light through your eyes resets your circadian rhythm 🌞
- The real deal with sunscreen ingredients like oxybenzone and octinoxate
- A breakdown of reef-safe vs. hormone-disrupting sunscreens
- What mineral sunscreens are and why they’re safer for your family
- Surprising foods and supplements that protect (or sensitize!) your skin
- How God’s creation—from soil to sunlight—was designed to heal us 🌿
💡 Plus, I share practical tips for moms, a sunburn healing protocol, and a few faith-based reflections that’ll inspire your day.
