Episode #103: Safe Sunscreen, Circadian Rhythm, and Do We Actually Age with Sun?

About this video

In this 2022 episode, Niddam talks with Nadine Artemis of Living Libations about building a different relationship with the sun. Artemis challenges blanket sun avoidance, arguing people feel and function better with sensible exposure, while both agree burning and reckless tanning are harmful. They discuss gradually building a base of exposure from spring onward, circadian rhythm, vitamin D — including tracking tools, skin type, and the distinction Artemis draws between the inactive and active forms usually measured — and foods and plant oils she presents as internal support for skin. Artemis also links light to mitochondria, bone and muscle. The caption track for this episode is not in English, and her position departs from standard dermatology guidance on sunscreen.

Key takeaways

• Artemis advocates gradual, seasonal exposure and never burning, rather than either total avoidance or intense occasional sun
• Vitamin D status depends on more than one lab value or one test, in her account — skin type, body size and genetics all matter
• Treat light as a circadian and nutritional input, not only a skin risk, while weighing mainstream skin-cancer guidance
• Internal supports such as colorful, antioxidant-rich foods are presented as complements to, not substitutes for, sensible exposure
• Contested sun and sunscreen claims should be checked against a clinician, especially for people at high skin-cancer risk
