Science-Backed Methods That Extend Your Life Far More Than Genetics Ever Will
The Model Health Show
Sunscreen, sunburns, and adaptation
Shawn critiques sunscreen efficacy, advocates gradual sun exposure, protective clothing, and zinc for skin health.
Your genes influence many things about you, including your traits, and how your body operates. But is it actually true that our genes can control our health outcomes? Today, you’re going to learn about epigenetics, your ability to put the brakes on the aging process, and the science-backed habits that can boost your longevity.
On this episode of The Model Health Show, you’re going to hear my interview on the Mind Pump Show, where I discussed the impact your relationships have on your health, the truth about the role our genes play in dictating our health outcomes, and how to improve your biological age. You’re going to hear some interesting studies on vitamin D supplementation, the differences between whole and unprocessed foods, and the invaluable role that our relationships play in our lives.
In this conversation, I’m also divulging some of the critical life lessons I’ve learned throughout the hardships of the past couple years, including my experiences with parenting, loss, and family dynamics. You’re going to learn about the benefits of having a healthy relationship with sun exposure, why our expectations can shape our experiences, and so much more. Enjoy!
