Description
In this episode, Katie talks to Sundaily founders Chris Tolles and Dr. Emilia Javorsky about how to protect your skin and slow aging from the inside out all with the help of a little-known substance called polypodium leucotomos. They delve into the role of antioxidants and which ones work, why sunscreen isn’t the only answer (and sometimes isn’t even a good one), and much more.
A quick FYI, when we recorded this episode, they were Sundots, but they’ve renamed the company since… so don’t be surprised! The only thing that has changed is their name!
Episode Highlights
What polypodium leucotomos is and how studies show it can protect skin
The way vitamin D deficiency fits into the sun exposure equation
How internal sun exposure works and how to optimize it
The problems with many sunscreens and what to look for in a healthy one
What UVA and UVB are and how they are different
The false safety net that comes with many sunscreens
What the research says about how to protect skin from the inside out against sun damage and aging
How antioxidants in food and supplements may help protect the skin
And more!

1: How to Reset Your Health: In this inaugural episode of The Wellness Mama Podcast: Simple Answers for Healthier Families, I discuss my personal journey and my reason for starting this blog and the podcast. I also talk about what is next for the podcast and topics I’ll be covering in the future, especially my core topics on how to “RESET” your health: Why A Podcast? When my oldest son was just six weeks old, I was reading a magazine in the doctor’s office at my follow-up appointment and I read a line that hit me like a ton of bricks: “For the first time in two centuries, the current generation of children in America may have shorter life expectancies than their parents.” The article continued to talk about the coming rise in cancer, heart disease, diabetes, autoimmune disease and other problems. I looked down at my tiny, perfect infant and every cell in my body rebelled against the idea that he would have to suffer these problems. I decided that a 50:50 chance of diabetes wasn’t good by The Wellness Mama Podcast
