ABOUT THIS EPISODE
How do you avoid sunburn naturally — without relying on sunscreen?
In this episode, Zaid Dahhaj explains how sunburn, skin health, and tanning are influenced by circadian rhythm, light exposure, diet, melanin and overall lifestyle — not just time in the sun.
We break down how blue light, poor sleep, and seed oils increase sun sensitivity, sunburn susceptibility & skin damage, and how to build a “solar callus” to improve resilience.
If you want to use sunlight to boost energy, skin health, and longevity, this episode gives you a practical, nature-based approach.
