June 10th 2024, Here Comes the Sun!

Hello patients and friends!

We are getting well into summer now and hopefully you are starting to get outside and enjoy the sun and the many benefits that come with that. Vitamin D is a crucial nutrient for making hormones such as testosterone, progesterone, and estrogen. It also helps support the immune system and bone health. If you are worried about getting sunburnt, slowly increase the time you spend in the sun and make sure that you are getting enough healthy fats. Grass-fed butter, grass-fed meats, and wild-caught salmon are great ways to get more high-quality fats in. This ensures you are absorbing your vitamin D and calcium, which both help to reduce your risk of sunburn. If you are looking for a good quality sunscreen take a look at EWGSkin Deep site to find many good quality products. I have personally found Babo Botanicals to work well and spread very easily.
