"The sun reduces all-cause mortality. The more sun you get, the lower your risk of death," says Dr. Leland Stillman.   In this episode of the Quantum Biology Collective podcast, host Meredith Oke welcomes the esteemed Dr. Leland Stillman back to the show. Dr. Stillman, known as one of the best integrative physicians in the United States, brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the controversial topic of sun exposure and its true impact on our health. In a world where we are bombarded with messages about the dangers of the sun and the need to protect ourselves at all costs, Dr. Stillman breaks down the myths and misconceptions surrounding sunlight.   He explains the deep connection between sunlight and human biology, highlighting the essential role it plays in our overall well-being. From the benefits of vitamin D production to the regulation of circadian rhythms, Dr. Stillman reveals the infinite health benefits that come from embracing the sun in a safe and mindful way. He encourages consistent sun exposure, avoiding intermittent and intense exposure that can lead to sunburn. By understanding our skin type and sensitivity, we can find a balance that allows us to enjoy the benefits of sunlight without putting ourselves at risk.   Quotes: "Red and infrared light help bioenergetics, they help the cell to grow, to heal."
