Ready for the Summer: Battling Against Sun Exposure and Bug Bites with Dr. Guerry Grune of 3rd Rock Essentials

With summer fast-approaching, it’s important to keep yourself protected from all kinds of exposure!

In this episode, Dr. Lara Varden, in-house clinician of the DNA Company is joined by Dr. Guerry Grune, PhD, P.A., the CTO and Founder of 3rd Rock Essentials. Guerry shares how his life might have been one long (part-time) endless summer if it hadn’t been for three events that led him to create 3rd Rock—and change sunscreen history forever.

During the summertime, it is not uncommon for us to spend more time outdoors. This comes with great benefits but also has cons when it comes to the topic of the forces of nature - the UV rays of the sun, and the emergence of bugs that are out to bite you. With this in mind, Dr. Lara and Dr. Guerry discuss ways in getting through being in the sun.

First, the episode tackles how to deal with bug bites, poison ivy, hives, and other infections. These cause a variety of itches due to the toxins causing a sudden acidity on the skin. These are not entirely preventable but definitely can be soothed with the right products specifically those that contain high concentrations of zinc oxide. Dr. Lara and Dr. Guerry delve into how this substance works as a skin protectant to aid various skin conditions.

Secondly, they dive into the importance of sunscreen. We often assume that higher SPF already guarantees better protection but there’s more than meets the eye when it comes to fully protecting the skin from the harsh rays of the sun. They discuss the different components of sunscreen that makes it safe not just for human consumers, but for the reef as well. In fact, Dr. Guerry showcases how his formulation of sunscreen is approved by the Coral Reef Foundation.

Lastly, they impart knowledge on how silver is a miracle element that contributes to better gut health. In line with this, they also share other tips on lifestyle and health in general that will allow you to be at your most optimal level of health throughout all of your planned activities.
