Sunlight affects more than your skin.

Dr. David Bearss explains how sunlight exposure is tied to serotonin levels and why reduced exposure is linked to seasonal affective disorder.

Your body expects sunlight.

For decades, we’ve been told that the healthiest approach is to minimize sun exposure whenever possible. But emerging research suggests the relationship between sunlight and health may be more nuanced than many of us realize.

In the latest episode of the Good Medicine Podcast, my brother, Dr. Jeremiah Bearss, and I explore the science behind sunlight and its impact on human health.

We discuss:

🔹 Research showing increased all-cause mortality among individuals with very low sun exposure
🔹 How sunlight influences serotonin production, mood, and overall well-being
🔹 The potential connection between reduced light exposure and Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)
🔹 Why finding the right balance between sun protection and healthy exposure may be important for long-term health
The goal isn’t to encourage excessive sun exposure or ignore the risks of skin cancer. Rather, it’s to have a thoughtful discussion about how sunlight affects our biology and whether complete avoidance may have unintended consequences.
As with many things in medicine, the answer may not be found at either extreme—it may be found in balance.

Researchers found women who avoided sunlight had roughly double the all-cause mortality risk.

In low sunlight environments, the increased risk was compared to smoking.

That completely changes how we should think about sun exposure.

If you were born in the 90s, your risk of colon cancer is 4x higher than previous generations.

That’s not a small trend. That’s a massive shift in a very short period of time.

Two graduates, one proud dad. 🎓
Celebrating my son and daughter-in-law as they close this chapter at BYU and step into the "real world." Watching them earn their degrees side by side, one from the College of Life Sciences and one from the College of Computational, Mathematical, and Physical Sciences, has been such a joy. The future is bright for these two, and I couldn't be prouder. Go out and do good things, you two. 💙
