BHP 095: Andy Mant | BLUblox, Sleep, Blue Light and Light Hygiene

Andy Mant is the Founder and Director of BLUblox, and he’s on the BHP this week to help us understand and navigate the impact light has on every cell in our body.

I’m aware that blue light and blue blocking glasses can be an overplayed topic.

Trust me, this isn’t your run of the mill blue light podcast and Andy is not your typical entrepreneur trying to make a quick buck on a slow to die fad. Light has profound impacts our lives. In fact, every cell in our bodies is impacted by light. Light drives our hormones and circadian rhythms.

In this fascinating chat, we tap into Andy’s wealth of knowledge to make this topic easy to understand, and more importantly, provide us with powerful and easy to implement solutions so we can restore our natural circadian rhythms and optimize our sleep, health, recovery and performance.

We’ll cover:
