Timestamp (0:34) “A tan is a sign that you skin has been damaged” Yeah, if you know absolutely nothing about hormetic stress, how it works, and the properties of melanin This is the same idiotic tagline people use when talking about melanin production as it relates to UV light It’s a hyper-reductionist idea that doesn’t come close to explaining the reality of this subject If a tan (melanin production) is exclusively a sign of skin damage, then does that mean muscle mass is exclusively a sign of muscular damage? Hormetic stress allows human beings to become stronger. Exposure to eustress, recovery, more exposure to eustress, progressive overload, better health This is about as simple as it gets, yet these hyper-reductionists even get that wrong

This is the incredible truth about thinking from a first principles biology perspective Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying have practically landed on the same conclusion as my own through their evolutionary perspective, while my main focus is on circadian biology. The two go hand in hand, after all Circadian biology explains this perfectly. The ocular system is a circadian organ that needs the full solar spectrum into the eyes peripherally to allow melanin, non-visual photoreceptors, and mitochondria to work. Peripheral UV light into the eyes stimulates the pro-opiomelanocortin system which makes a family of peptide hormones known as the melanocyte stimulating hormone family. These make melanin, which is nature’s most effective radioprotective biopolymer With sunglasses on, particularly during high UV conditions, you prevent the production of those peptide hormones and do not start melanogenesis (making of melanin in response to UV) Since the eyes, brain, and skin are one neuroectoderm unit, you essentially sever the circadian connection between all three, leaving the skin susceptible to burns Tag Bret Weinstein so he can get an understanding of the circadian perspective on this ⚡️

Zero mention of circadian biology and the skin barrier as a circadian, light-sensing organ Zero mention of the synergistic relationship between wavelength ranges found in the full solar spectrum Pure fear mongering garbage I expect nothing less from people who worship a hyper-reductionist view of biology, with a terrible epistemological foundation Shocking level of ignorance
