from Hormone Health for Moms - Hormone balance, Insulin resistance, Boost Energy, Cortisol, Blood sugar · host Sara Moreira

Are you avoiding the sun because you’ve been told it’s harmful? In this episode, I’m exposing the biggest myths about natural sunlight and why it’s actually one of the most powerful tools for hormone balance, energy, and overall health—especially for moms. You’ll learn: Why sunglasses and sunscreen might be doing more harm than good How solar callus protects your skin and reduces the risk of burning The critical connection between sunlight and vitamin D production (and why supplements aren’t enough) How natural light impacts your circadian rhythm and hormones like cortisol and melatonin What our ancestors knew about sun exposure that we’ve forgotten As a functional health practitioner, I’ll share how I help moms heal their hormones naturally by leveraging sunlight, circadian health, and functional lab testing—without falling for mainstream sun myths. Listen in to discover why avoiding the sun might be sabotaging your health and how to safely harness its benefits. If you’re ready to ditch the sunscreen myths and feel more energized, vibrant, and hormonally balanced, this episode is for you.
