1. New Research: We Got Sun Exposure All Wrong (And It's Massively Hurting Our Health)

   4 november 2026 · 1 uur 43 min

   Afspelen
   Two weeks ago, I got the scariest phone call of my life. I had cancer. It was melanoma. I love the sun so much, but did my sun exposure put my life at risk? This is what I was grappling with when I discovered Rowan Jacobsen's new book, In Defense of Sunlight, which basically flips everything that I have ever heard about sun exposure on its head. It says we’re all treating the sun, and sunscreen, completely wrong. Lees meer

   Rowan Jacobsen was a Knight Science Journalism fellow at MIT, which put him in the rare position of getting to research the science of the sun on every aspect of our health.

   You’re going to learn the real science behind sun exposure, sunscreen use, preventing heart disease, autoimmune diseases, depression, anxiety, and more.

   🎧 What you’ll learn:

   • The 4 major ways the sun impacts your overall health

   • The 6 skin types and how to approach the sun with each

   • The truth about Vitamin D supplements

   • The shocking study showing smart light bulbs reduced depression

   • Why you actually shouldn't stress over blue light

   • Why being among trees is essentially free red light therapy

2. The Missing Tool to Finally Heal Your Gut, Hormones, and Anxiety

   We have more health information than ever. So many of us are doing everything we’re supposed to do, and yet we still don’t feel good. I keep coming back to the question of what’s missing, and Ellen has an answer that’s stuck with me ever since. Dr. Ellen Vora is a Yale and Columbia-trained psychiatrist and best-selling author. In her new book, Season of the Witch: A Psychiatrist’s Case for Magic, she makes the case for a whole category of healing tools most of us were taught to dismiss. Lees meer

   🎧 What you’ll learn:

   How swallowing your words can show up in your body

   Dr. Vora’s go-to habits for better digestion (and why they matter for your hormones)

   The simplest way to tell intuition from anxiety

   Why more health data isn’t always better

   The kind of experience Dr. Vora says we’re too quick to dismiss

   The two-question exercise for anyone who calls themselves a skeptic

   I just had a close friend over and the next time we were both available to hang out was in 2 MONTHS.

So I asked myself: can real life friendships be as good as the friendships portrayed on TV? Lees meer

   I dove into these sitcoms and the science, and it turns out there are five very real steps we can all take to have sitcom-level friendships in our real adult lives (no matter where we live or how old we are).
