Featured Guest: Charles Mayfield

Today’s guest is Charles Mayfield — holistic health advocate and skincare entrepreneur. In this episode, we explore the fear-based messaging around sunlight and why it’s time to rethink our relationship with the sun. Instead of avoiding it, we discuss how sunlight—when used wisely—can support your skin health and circadian rhythms.

We also take a deep dive into the dangers of chemical sunscreens, the importance of diet and hydration, and how animal-based skincare and “solar calluses” can naturally protect your skin. You’ll walk away with practical tools to support your skin from the inside out, all through a holistic and natural lens.
