Thanks for the shoutout, Jani! As Autumn rolls in, it’s a good time to maximize time outdoors in the extended sunrises and sunsets. While UVB will be less and less available, the infrared—which is always present in any kind of sunlight—makes cellular melatonin (among other benefits). And then the extended darkness offers greater opportunity for pineal melatonin. So, on a seasonal level the Fall represents a shift from UV and Vitamin D dominance toward infrared and melatonin as the major healing hormone. Here’s a great review on this that topic came out earlier this year: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1u3v9ETZwvnPshQoWe_K0dMA0yiNVXoE7/view?usp=drivesdk
