That\u2019s enough to reorganize my whole life around it,\u201d says Steven Lubka, known on X as a \u201csun max-er,\u201d about his commitment to being outdoors, despite his busy day job working as the head of private clients at Swan Bitcoin. On today\u2019s episode of the Quantum Biology Collective podcast, he explains how you can work the benefits of sunlight and balanced circadian rhythms into your own busy life.\n \nIn keeping with his reputation as a prominent citizen researcher, he explains the flaws in the research on skin cancer, and how sun exposure affects basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma, respectively. What he shares flies in the face of everything we\u2019ve been taught about wearing sunblock and avoiding the sun, and the people and populations among which melanoma is rising will surprise you.\n \nSun exposure lowers the risk for so many other, arguably more impactful, diseases that the benefits far outweigh the risks, he argues, as does the day-to-day mental and emotional impact. Hear him talk about the importance of daily movement on health, on our evolution, and why he calls exercise \u201cthe junk food of movement.\u201d \n \nLearn Steven\u2019s simple formula for life-changing benefits. And stay tuned to the end for his insights into bitcoin and what\u2019s in store for its future. \n \nQuotes\n\u201cWhen I get a lot of sunlight, I feel more vital, I feel more driven, I feel more energy, I feel more solid and robust.\u201d (10:44 | Steven Lubka) \n\u201cI actually believe that happiness is literally just a function of sunlight. And I like to distinguish happiness, which I consider a mood state, from purpose or meaning or life satisfaction\u2014those are different concepts. I\u2019m not saying just getting sun is going to fulfill all of your psychological needs, but if we define happiness as being in a happy mood or not a happy mood, I think that equation, sunlight\u2019s the primary input. And when I get a lot of sun, I\u2019m in a great mood.\u201d (11:22 | Steven Lubka) \n\u201cMelanoma, which is the really bad one, here\u2019s what\u2019s interesting: there are a lot of studies that show sunlight lowers it. Melanoma mostly appears on the parts of the body that don\u2019t see the sun. It goes up in indoor workers. It\u2019s skyrocketing in northeast Asian countries that are the most sunphobic cultures.\u201d (38:25 | Steven Lubka)\n\u201cWe were born to walk\u2026Brains evolved to move. That is their base function. You need to move. Having a high level of movement, particularly outdoors, is way more important than going and working up a sweat three times a week in a gym.\u201d (52:45 | Steven Lubka)\nLinks\nConnect with Steven Lubka:\nSteven Lubka Website: Swan.com/private\nTwitter: @Dzambhalahodl\n \nBon Charge Discount Code: at checkout enter the code: QBC to receive 15% off\nhttps://us.boncharge.com/collections/blue-light-blocking-glasses\n**If you're in the US and have a Health Savings Account (HSA or FSA) BonCharge products are an eligible expense**\n \nTo receive a FREE infographic of the Ideal Circadian Day and join our email list: https://www.quantumbiologycollective.com/qbc-newsletter-aqb\nTo find a practitioner who understands quantum biology: www.quantumbiologycollective.org\nTo see details about the Applied Quantum Certification: www.appliedquantumbiology.com\nFollow on Instagram and Facebook: @quantumbiologycollecitve\nTwitter: @quantumhealthtv\n \nPodcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/cbb5c396-df69-4044-8509-23c48d866507/RAC-Podcast-1.jpg"}
