Summary
Can sun exposure increase your metabolism? Can it help you burn fat more efficiently?
The answer is yes. In today's episode we're going into the science of sun, your skin & hormones to look at how moderate sun exposure can minimize cravings, reduce inflammation, increase energy and support your metabolism & ability to burn fat.
I know our society talks about the dangers of the sun and tells us all to put on sunscreen before we talk to the mailbox but here's the reality: sun burn is bad, the sun is not.
There are many health benefits of sun exposure beyond vitamin D and we'll be talking about them today!

| 0:57.2 | fat burning and a lot more. |
| 0:59.8 | The reason I am doing this episode now is that many of us, at least in this part of the |
| 1:04.5 | world, are going into a season where there will be more sun exposure. |
| 1:09.4 | It's getting warmer, the days are longer and I think that generally speaking we have |
| 1:15.4 | learned to fear the sun. |
| 1:19.2 | This is not an episode about sunscreen and sunblock. |
| 1:22.4 | I am not an expert on those things. |
| 1:24.4 | This is actually an episode about why we should have some more, some more than we do now, |
| 1:31.7 | exposure to the sun without that sun protection. |
| 1:37.0 | When we do that, when we get a healthy amount of sun exposure without protection, whether |
