Expanded x Ep. 72: Light and Hormone Health with Andy Mant of BON CHARGE (Formerly BLUblox)
“We’re firm believers that technology is amazing, but we need to take these preventative measures against the EMF’s and blue light that’s coming out of not just the laptop, but other sources”
In today’s episode, we welcome back Andy Mant of BON CHARGE (Formerly BLUblox) to talk about the harmful effects of blue light not only on our eyes, but on our bodies and our hormones as well. Andy and Lacy discuss why we need to care about blue light on a basic level, and expands to talk about how blue light exposure affects our hormones, specifically in terms of fertility per recent studies. They also talk about how blue light interacts with our circadian rhythms. Andy provides tips and hacks for things you can do in your house and to your technology devices to lessen blue light exposure, and increase exposure to healthy light.
