The Sun episode: Naked tanning, benefits, skin cancer risk, dangers of sunscreen

Throughout Dr. Saladino's training and practice as a physician, he had come to one very disappointing conclusion: Western medicine isn’t helping people lead better lives. Now that he has realized this, he has become obsessed with understanding what makes us healthy or ill. He wants to live the best life he can, and he wants to be able to share this knowledge with others so that they can do the same. This podcast is the result of his relentless search to understand the roots of chronic disease. If you want to know how to live the most radical life possible, I hope you’ll join him on this journey.
