136: Rethinking Sun Exposure From Scratch

About this episode

Michael Kummer discusses the complexities of sun exposure and how his habits changed after moving to a larger homestead.

Sun exposure isn't as simple as "eat clean and you're bulletproof." In this episode, I share how my sun exposure habits had to change after moving to a larger homestead — and why spending more time outdoors forced me to rethink everything I thought I knew. I break down why diet still matters for UV tolerance, what actually causes photo aging, how I structure my day to get sun safely, and why I rarely use sunscreen — but when I do, what I reach for.
