Wow! Dr Kruse is brilliant! I will continue to prioritize spending time in the sun. Modern society is certainly a biological mismatch with our mitochondria.
As a family doc and father of a son with “indeterminate IBD”, I find these podcasts incredibly helpful. you radiate light and hope upon a difficult path.
Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you so much for starting this.
