Melanopsin Discovery in Skin and Lighting Solutions

For years, I’ve been passionate about helping folks worldwide get better sleep. And one of the most overlooked aspects of sleep wellness is our exposure to light. Every spectrum of light, including sunlight, artificial indoor light, and blue light from our devices affects our biology, and in turn our sleep in some way. Today’s guest is going to break down how exposure to different spectrums of light affects our health and sleep quality. 

Andy Mant is a global leader in the wellness technology. He is the founder and CEO of BON CHARGE, a brand focused on biohacking tools like red light therapy, circadian lighting, and blue light blocking glasses. Andy is joining us on this episode of The Model Health Show to share science-backed approaches for better sleep, aesthetics, and overall wellness. 

You’re going to learn how different light spectrums affect our health and the role our circadian rhythm plays in influencing how you feel and perform. Andy is also sharing details about his personal health journey, how red-light therapy works, the science behind blue light blocking lenses, PEMF technology, and so much more. We’re also going to discuss free, accessible biohacking strategies anyone can implement, starting today. Enjoy!
