Sunlight Deficiency & Light Biology with Dr. Alexis Cowan - The Dr. Chris Stepien Show Episode

Have you ever wondered about the role that sunlight plays in your health and biology?
We have too!! And now, we have an awesome guest on the Dr. Chris Show Podcast to tell us all about it and...wait for it...ENLIGHTEN us!! (I'll show myself out, haha)
Meet Dr. Alexis Cowan, a brilliant doctor who is doing some amazing work on the benefits of light on our biology! This Princeton educated PhD is trying to help us all WAKE UP to the benefits (and harm) of ALLL kinds of different light.
How much do we know about light? Do we know the difference between UV light, artificial light, natural light, blue light? Do we know the benefits of sunlight on our growth, our hormones, and our metabolism? How can light help with chronic pain, a subject that Dr. Chris is wildly passionate about exploring?
I can tell you, as a videographer (this is Greg the Vieo Guy, btw!!), light plays a MASSIVE role in the work that I do. Understanding how it operates, how temperature of light affects an image, how light can be used to brighten or dramatize a setting, etc. has been a crucial part of the work that I do.
But I was BLOWN AWAY by the amount of knowledge Dr. Alexis dropped throughout this episode. There is SOOO much great information here, and after learning more from Dr. Alexis, I can tell you, I've been going outside everyday first thing in the morning to get my dose of Vitamin D from the vibrant and beautiful sun we're all so lucky to have!
Light is a fascinating and interesting thing, and it seems like we're only just beginning to tap into the massive (and FREE) benefit the sun can provide to us. We've all been taking the sun for granted, or avoiding it because we're afraid of sunburn or skin cancer.
But the reality is, the more we get acclimated to the sun by spending more time in it, the better chance we have of protecting ourselves from those things!
Conversely, prolonged exposure to artificial light, especially blue light (like what comes out of our screens!) is causing us more harm than good. Something we all kinda know in the back of our heads, but Dr. Alexis takes the time to explain the how and why of it all!
So check out this episode of the pod as Dr. Chris and Dr. Alexis get into all sorts of topics and questions!
Let us know your thoughts, and if you have any questions for us or for Dr. Alexis, leave a comment, and we'll do our best to...shed some light (wakka wakka!) on the answer!! Ok, enough with the light jokes, I'm not a super bright guy sometimes...ok, seriously, I'm done lol.
