    479 — Sunlight vs. Statins: The Surprising Science Behind Mortality, Cholesterol, and Heart Health

    What if avoiding the sun carries health risks of its own? In this episode, Drs. May and Tim revisit the relationship between sunlight, cholesterol, statins, and longevity. They unpack a large Swedish observational study linking low sun exposure with higher mortality and question whether conventional advice has oversimplified the role of sunlight in human health. From vitamin D and cholesterol to skin cancer concerns and cardiovascular risk, this conversation explores why the full picture may be more complicated than “sun bad, statins good.” In this episode: What a Swedish study found about sun exposure and mortalityWhy observational research shows association—not causationHow sunlight supports vitamin D production and other biological processesThe complicated relationship between cholesterol, statins, and heart healthWhy absolute risk matters when evaluating medical treatmentsHow fear-based health messaging can overlook important tradeoffsThe importance of discussing your individual risks with your physicianThe takeaway? Health rarely fits into a simple headline. Get informed, understand your personal risk factors, and make decisions based on the complete picture—not fear. 🎧 Listen now and decide for yourself: Could a little more sunlight be part of a healthier life?

    In this encore episode, Drs. May and Tim Hindmarsh sit down with Dr. Annette Bosworth, the internist behind the Dr. Boz YouTube channel and bestselling author of Anyway You Can and ketoCONTINUUM. After decades of telling patients to eat low-fat and load up on "heart-healthy" grains, Dr. Boz hit a wall when her 71-year-old mother's cancer treatment failed. Out of options, she put her mom on a strict ketogenic diet—and watched her cancer markers drop without chemo, along with several other chronic conditions. That experience reshaped her entire practice, from managing symptoms to reversing disease at the metabolic root. Topics include: The moment a patient's question about MD Anderson and ketones made Dr. Boz rethink everythingWalking her mother through ketosis after 69 rounds of chemoWhy inflammation is the common thread behind cancer, autoimmune disease, memory loss, and diabetesKetones vs. glucose as fuel, and what that shift does to the brainWhy she borrowed group-meeting accountability from addiction medicine to help patients stay ketoBurnout, disillusionment with corporate medicine, and finding a better pathThe ketoCONTINUUM: a step-by-step framework for staying consistently keto for lifeWhat You'll Learn How therapeutic ketosis differs from "keto for weight loss"Why the advice most physicians were trained on may be making chronic disease worseWhat a doctor does when the science she was taught fails someone she lovesPractical ways to start and stick with a ketogenic lifestyleKey TakeawaySometimes the most powerful medicine isn't a prescription. Dr. Boz's story is a case for questioning what we were taught, following the evidence, and giving the body what it needs to heal itself. About the GuestDr. Annette Bosworth, MD, is an internal medicine physician, educator, and founder of Meaningful Medicine in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. She's been featured on CNN, TIME, U.S. News & World Report, and Fox News, and teaches ketogenic living to millions through her YouTube channel and online courses.
