🧴Mineral or Chemical Sunscreen?
What’s really getting absorbed into your body?

A 2019 study in JAMA found that common chemical sunscreen ingredients—like oxybenzone—can enter your bloodstream at levels far above what the FDA considers safe. 😳

So, what should you do?
☀️ For high UV exposure or preventing burns? Use something.
🧒 For daily use, especially on kids? I go mineral-based—every time.

✅ Safer ingredients (like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide)
✅ Sit on your skin, don’t soak in
✅ Better for long-term health

It might be a little pricier or leave a white cast—but it’s worth it.

☀️ Are You Getting Enough Vitamin D3? 💊

This week on the WellnessDoc Blog, Dr. Darrell dives into why most people need to supplement with Vitamin D3—especially here in the north!

🌥️ Not enough sun?
🍽️ Not eating liver and onions (can’t blame you)?
💪 Low magnesium levels?

All of these can limit your body’s ability to make Vitamin D3—and that matters for your immune system, mood, muscles, and more.

Dr. Darrell shares:
✔️ Why magnesium matters
✔️ How much D3 you might need
✔️ Why skin tone + body fat affect your dose
✔️ Why minimum levels just don’t cut it

This week’s weekly Q&A with Dr. Darrell - Is the sun good for you or bad? When to use sunscreen and what type? What to watch out for on your skin. What about Vitamin D? Why the answer to these questions is different from person to person and also depends of your family history.

There have been some interesting studies that show that people in high sun-exposure jobs have less skin cancer than those who sit in offices all day. It appears sun exposure itself is far from the whole story. A family history of melanoma (the most dangerous type of skin cancer) along with a very fair skin tone put you at higher risk.

There may be some selection bias in that people who burn easily are not attracted to jobs with high degrees of sun exposure. So before we start saying sun exposure is protective of skin cancer we have to keep that in mind.

Skin tones are separated into six types from very white (always burns) to black skin (always tans). The very white skin is more prone to skin cancer so some form of protection from the sun seems to more important in those people.

🧠💪 This week’s Q&A with Dr. Darrell: Are supplements the answer to inflammation?

We talk a lot about reducing chronic inflammation because it plays a huge role in preventing cancer, heart disease, and dementia.

You’ve probably heard that fish oil, curcumin, and probiotics can help. And it’s true—they can support inflammation reduction. But here’s the catch: they’re the least important strategy on the list.

✅ Get regular exercise
✅ Improve your diet
✅ Prioritize sleep
❗️Then consider supplements

As the saying goes:

“Don’t major in the minor and minor in the major.” Start with the big 3 habits. Supplements can help—but they’ll never replace a healthy lifestyle.

✨ What is an Anti-Inflammatory Diet—and why does it matter?

This week’s Q&A dives into something I talk about with patients all the time: the connection between what you eat and how you feel.

An Anti-Inflammatory Diet (AID) isn’t just about short-term results—it’s a long-term strategy to reduce your risk of serious health issues like 💔 heart disease, 🧬 cancer, and 🧓 dementia.

Even better? You can feel the benefits almost immediately. Less joint pain, better mobility, and improved response to chiropractic care—just by reducing pro-inflammatory foods and adding more healing ones.

Want to learn how to do it? Follow along every week in June as we break down the what, why, and how of an AID!

This week’s Q&A, we look at Chronic Inflammation & How to Test for It !

Did you know that chronic inflammation often goes undetected—until it causes major health problems like heart attacks, strokes, cancer, or even dementia?

So let’s dive into this week’s question:

Q: Which blood test can be used to assess your level of chronic inflammation?

When a patient arrives in the ER with signs of a heart attack (myocardial infarction or MI), doctors often run two critical blood tests: troponin and CRP.

CRP (C-reactive protein) is produced by the liver in response to inflammation. While it’s helpful during acute illness or injury, persistently elevated CRP levels are a warning sign of chronic inflammation in the body.

High CRP levels have been linked to:

➡️Cardiovascular disease (heart attacks & strokes)
➡️Cancer
➡️Autoimmune conditions
➡️Dementia and cognitive decline

This test is simple and widely available. I encourage my patients to ask their GP to include CRP in their next routine bloodwork. Why?

Because...

“What gets measured gets attention.”

Once you know your number, you can take action—and aim to lower it through lifestyle, nutrition, and of course, chiropractic care!
