Is sunlight medicine—or melanoma waiting to happen?

Dr. Alexis Cowan, Princeton‑trained molecular biologist and Chief Science Officer at Japa Health, shines a clarifying beam on the myths and miracles of light.

In this illuminating conversation with Sina and Joel, she reveals the body’s surprising capacity to manufacture its own vitamin D even in darkness, explains why the entire solar spectrum—not just UVB—fuels optimal health, and shares jaw‑dropping stories of people who reversed stubborn ailments with strategic sun exposure alone.

Together they dismantle the “sun equals skin cancer” narrative, explore whether sunglasses and desk‑bound lifestyles are actually upping our skin cancer risk, and weigh the pros and cons of popping vitamin D and melatonin supplements.

From reversing disease to improving sleep and slowing down aging, they discuss it all!

This week’s Community Question:

In this episode, Joel and Sina uncover how this controversial hormone is clawing its way back into America’s milk supply.

What happens when a leaked government strategy to “end childhood disease” gets exposed?

In this episode, we don’t hold back. We dive into the good, the bad, and the ugly of the MAHA plan—unpacking their list of disease culprits, the promise (and pitfalls) of conflict-of-interest reforms, and how dietary guidelines and agricultural policy shifts could reshape what ends up on your plate.
