Beauty Bytes with Dr. Kay: Secrets of a Plastic Surgeon™

Hello, Beauty Byters!
On this week's episode of Beauty Bytes with Dr. Kay: Secrets of a Plastic Surgeon™️, CEO and Founder of Ra Optics and “The Light Diet,” Matt Maruca joins me virtually from Idaho! Matt shares with us the story of how he became so interested in sunlight and its many health benefits. His journey began after discovering that by improving his mitochondrial function, his health started to improve. Now Matt uses his knowledge to share these facts with the public and debunk the negative myths of sunlight. Quarantine has left many of us feeling apathetic and struggling to sleep, yet lack of natural sunlight may be the culprit behind these problems. One study has even found that vitamin-D deficiencies can accurately predict the severity of Corona Virus... So, get some sun! Hit play to hear why blue light from our phones may be more harmful than the blue light from the sun, how the risk of avoiding sunlight is as great as smoking cigarettes, and everything in between! We go in-depth about the importance of each wavelength of light and dish out all the tips to maximizing these benefits and improving sleep, mitochondrial function, and overall health. As a self-taught science buff, Matt shares some interesting facts, as he thinks outside the spectrum of normal science on this informative episode of Beauty Bytes.
