  • 231 | The Tanning Bed Resurgence: Unpacking Trends, Risks, and Cultural Influences
    Oct 7 2024

    Send me a text about the episode!

    Have you ever caught yourself questioning why the tanning bed trend is making a comeback among Gen Z? In this episode of Tea with Tina, I explore this surprising resurgence and draw parallels to past risky behaviors like smoking. As someone positioned between Gen Z and millennials, I offer a unique perspective on how both generations influence lifestyle choices and delve into the complex relationship between skincare, UV exposure, and cultural trends. During a period marked by personal challenges, including illness and a family emergency, I reflect on how these experiences have affected my daily routines and insights on maintaining health-conscious habits. Join me as I share my journey back to normalcy, emphasizing the importance of real, relatable conversations about such trends.

    With a critical eye on societal influences, I tackle the dangers of tanning beds, discussing the associated cancer risks and the legislative bans in place to curb their usage. We explore safer alternatives like red light therapy and spray tans, while debunking myths like the "base tan" theory. The episode also shines a light on the impact of influencers like Nara Smith and controversial figures like Gwyneth Paltrow, who shape perceptions of beauty and health. Listeners are encouraged to think critically about these influences and consider the importance of comprehensive sunscreen use. By sharing personal anecdotes and observations, I aim to educate and inspire a more informed discussion on maintaining healthy skin practices in the face of prevailing cultural trends.

    Ever felt the pressure to bask in the sun just because it's a beautiful day? You're not alone. On this episode of Tea with Tina, I open up about my own struggles with "sunshine guilt," a term I've coined to describe the nagging feeling that you're wasting a sunny day by staying indoors. From my cloudy days in Pittsburgh to my current, sunnier life in eastern Pennsylvania, I'll talk about how this guilt has impacted my mental well-being, often leading to anxiety and FOMO. But don't worry—I'll share some effective strategies to manage these feelings, including how to reframe your thoughts, savor small outdoor moments, and practice self-compassion.

    As a certified personal trainer continuing my education, I’m thrilled to share my latest milestones, including new certifications in yoga and Pilates. These practices have been transformative for my mental health, helping me manage anxiety and offering a mindful, inclusive environment for my clients. I'll talk about the unique ways you can incorporate yoga into your life, such as practicing in unexpected outdoor settings like sunflower fields or even peaceful cemeteries. Don't miss this episode, where we'll blend discussions on mental well-being, exercise, and innovative ways to find joy both indoors and out.
