Can we have just the right amount of sun exposure? We’ve got the expert to help us find out. This week, we’re joined by Dr. Katie Varman as she not only discusses supplements for sun protection, but offers some nuance in the debate over sunscreen, sun exposure, and vitamin D deficiency. Each Thursday, join Dr. Raja and Dr. Hadar, board-certified dermatologists, as they share the latest evidence based research in integrative dermatology. For access to CE/CME courses, become a member at LearnSkin.com.

Katie Varman, MD FAAD is a board-certified dermatologist and founder of Shine, a functional dermatology clinic in Lincoln, CA. Dr. Varman was born in California but spent much of her medical training on the east coast touring the South in Florida, Tennessee, and North Carolina. While enjoying the fireflies, bluegrass music and Southern hospitality, Dr. Varman was also introduced to regenerative farming; a passion that has influenced her approach to medical care.
 
Dr. Varman believes in a holistic and integrative approach to dermatologic care. In addition to traditional dermatology practices, she utilizes functional studies such as gut microbiome testing to address the root cause of skin disease. Dr. Varman also has a special focus on phototherapy as her favorite treatment modality for many inflammatory skin conditions.
