Rethinking Skin Cancer Prevention Through Physiology-Based Science with Dermatologist Dr. Gordon O. Telford Featured

Is your sunscreen giving you a false sense of security?Most of us have been taught that sun protection starts and ends with a bottle of SPF. However, as a clinical biochemist and holistic aesthetician, I know that the "Sunscreen Only" narrative is missing a massive piece of the biological puzzle.In this episode of Where Science Meets Self-Care, Dr. Gordon O Telford (Dermatologist) and I explore why skin cancer rates continue to rise despite widespread sunscreen use. We dive into the deeper biological story: how oxidative stress, immunosuppression, and nutritional deficiencies (specifically Vitamin A and B3) leave the skin vulnerable, regardless of how much cream you apply.For Educational Purposes Only: This interview reflects the clinical observations and professional opinions of Dr. Gordon O.
