Renee Belz & Lauren Sambataro How Sunlight Can Change Your Health, For the Better with Nadine Artemis l Debunking Sunscreen, Vitamin D, Melatonin & More
In this eye-opening episode with Nadine Artemis, author of Renegade Beauty and Holistic Dental Care, we challenge everything you thought you knew about the sun. She unpacks why sunlight has become so controversial, tracing the history of heliotherapy and the very real biological need humans have for natural light. Nadine dives into the surprising benefits of sun exposure even in the winter, how light entering the eyes affects our hormones, and what the melanoma research actually shows when you look beyond the headlines. The conversation takes a bold turn as she exposes the real issues with modern sunscreen, explores vitamin D–rich foods in cold climates, and explains the deep connection between sunlight, bone health, and strong teeth. We also discuss tanning beds, the melanotan peptide, melatonin as a form of internal sun protection, and what our skin was truly designed to do. Packed with practical daily sun and light guidance, this episode will completely reshape how you think about sunshine, skin health, and long-term vitality.
