0:00.0	You only have to look at studies on how light with humans actually impact specific hormones
0:09.0	to know that diet really isn't the be all and end-all.
0:12.0	Melatonin is your sleep hormone and there's a zone of light that actually stops melatonin from being secreted.
0:17.0	Artificial light is very high in blue, but has very minimal red light.
0:21.5	We achieved something that no other company in the blue light space has been able to achieve,
0:25.3	and that is evidence-backed lenses that literally block exactly what peer-reviewed studies
0:30.3	are saying you have to block to manage light correctly.
0:32.9	Welcome to the Melanie Avalon Biohacking Podcast, where we meet the world's top experts to explore the secrets of health, mindset, longevity, and so much more.
0:44.7	Are you ready to take charge of your existence and biohack your life?
0:49.1	This show is for you.
0:50.9	Please keep in mind, we're not dispensing medical advice and are not responsible for any
0:55.9	outcomes you may experience from implementing the tactics lying herein. Are you ready? Let's do this.

1:18.6	honestly, it wasn't until this interview with Andy, the founder of Blue Blocks, that I finally
1:23.5	began to understand the nuances of blue light blocking. And after the interview, I completely
1:28.8	changed my own personal routine. Friends, I'm not making this up. Ever since interviewing Andy,
1:34.3	and following the schedule of using the glasses the way he suggested, my sleep has actually changed.
1:40.8	I was waking up during the night and now I'm sleeping all the way through and this is very
1:45.1	strange to me. And that's the only thing I've changed. So I think there's something there. I'm
1:52.3	personally going to stock up on even more of those glasses now. And for listeners, if you are
1:57.3	interested, you can go to blueblocks.com and you can use the code Melanie Avalon to get 15% off any order. So that is awesome.
