In this episode, I sit down with Andy Mant, CEO and Co-Founder of Bon Charge, to shed light (literally) on one of the most overlooked tools in the biohacking toolbox: light.
Andy shares how modern lighting environments are silently hijacking our circadian rhythms, sleep, hormones, and metabolic health — and what you can do about it. We bust myths, explore red light therapy, and dive into practical hacks for reclaiming your health in a screen-saturated world.
Whether you're struggling with energy crashes, sleep issues, or just want to feel and look better, this episode is your blueprint for becoming light-savvy in a tech-heavy world.
We unpack:
Why light is more than illumination — it's information for your biology.
Andy breaks down the science behind blue light exposure and its link to poor sleep, weight gain, and hormone disruption.
Learn how red light therapy enhances cellular repair, reduces inflammation, and supports skin health and longevity.
Discover simple home hacks to protect your circadian rhythm and improve sleep (spoiler: your bedroom light matters).
We explore the role of blue-blocking glasses, screen filters, and smart wearables in daily light hygiene.
Andy shares his own wellness routine, the birth of Bon Charge, and how he's helping people take control of their light environment to live longer, healthier lives.
This episode is a must-listen if you're serious about optimising your biology — not just through food and exercise, but through one of the most underappreciated longevity levers: light.
