You’ve been told to fear the sun and slather on the SPF. But what if the sunscreen itself is sabotaging your health—from your hormones to your skin?

In this episode of Wellness Blueprints: Nourish Your Roots with Jess, I unpack what’s really in your sunscreen, how certain ingredients can disrupt your endocrine system, and why some sunscreens can actually increase your cancer risk when exposed to sunlight (yep, for real).

We’ll dive into: 

  • Why burning in the sun may actually be a diet + inflammation issue
  • The real reason your “safe” sunscreen might be hurting your hormones
  • Mineral sunscreens vs. chemical ones—and which ones actually work
  • What your sunglasses, food, and skin tone have to do with sunburn
  • The hidden root cause behind sensitive skin and poor vitamin D conversion

If you're navigating perimenopause, struggling with inflammation, or just want to protect your body without compromising your health, this episode is your sunshine-filled wakeup call. 

Listen now and learn how to protect your skin and your health—naturally.
