Today I'm chatting with Andy Mant, CEO and founder of BLUblox, a company specializing in evidence-based light filtering eyewear. Andy started BLUblox after becoming dissatisfied with the quality and standards of blue light blocking glasses available and set about to design lenses that match the evidence in the academic literature. BLUblox offers three different lenses for day time, nighttime, and color therapy that are backed by science, and they offer over 20 different frames as well as the option to send in your own frames to be turned into blue blockers. Wearing blue blockers helps to improve sleep, balance your hormones, boost your mood, increase your energy, reduce headaches, and optimize your circadian rhythm. You can use the code "WELLNESS" for 15% off your pair of BLUblox blue light blocking glasses at blublox.com!
In this episode, Andy dives into how his journey to weight loss led him to the ketogenic diet and optimizing his circadian rhythm to balance his weight. Andy explains how you can manage light to optimize your health and well-being, and how to structure your day to support your circadian rhythm. We discuss eating seasonally versus ancestrally, why many people do intermittent fasting wrong, how your mealtimes affect your weight, and how blue light affects your hormones. He also talks about the benefits of color therapy, why orange glasses don't block blue light, the benefits of wearing blue-light blocking glasses, and more.
