The Hidden Melanin Story: Cold Adaptation and Leptin (10.3)

This video is about melanin, the light and energy synthesizing technology embedded within us and on our surface. I consider skin to be the true brain, it thinks while the inside of us reacts. Melanin is known as a phenomenon created by UV and sunlight but that is a partial story. The other side of this, which is just as powerful, is low temperatures. Getting your melanin from the sun is powerful but melanin can be potently made through cold adaptation. This is a hidden side of the story and can cosmetically as well as internally keep us younger, or newer. In the video, I mention only a month of daily adaptation but about 6 years ago, I did 8 straight months of tri-weekly sessions (about 40 minutes each average), which completely transformed me. Nowadays, my sun tolerance has lessened. So, I came back to what massively worked for me in the past. But this time, I raised the bar a bit.
