Summary

In this episode Mark sits down with Andy Mant, founder of Bon Charge, to explore how the modern world is quietly hijacking our biology through light. We talk about how artificial lighting, screens, and constant stimulation are disrupting our circadian rhythms, driving stress, poor sleep, and metabolic dysfunction and why something as simple as getting morning sunlight and managing blue light at night can radically shift your energy and health. This conversation is a deep dive into how our environment shapes our nervous system and how reclaiming your relationship with light might be one of the most powerful and overlooked ways to change your life. Andy Mant is a global leader in the wellness technology industry, known for building BON CHARGE into a multimillion-dollar direct-to-consumer brand focused on red light therapy, PEMF, circadian lighting and other cutting edge wellness technology targeting longevity. With a personal and professional journey deeply rooted in performance optimisation, mitochondrial health, and innovation, Andy brings easy to understand science- backed insights and no-BS truth to every interview. —Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamandymant—Website: https://ca.boncharge.com/ This episode is sponsored by: Cozy Earth: Use code CHANGE for 20% off sitewide at http://www.cozyearth.com Have a question For Mark to answer on the podcast?https://www.speakpipe.com/TheMarkGrovesPodcast Have a question for Mark and want an immediate answer?

Hello and welcome to another episode of the Mark Groves podcast. Today I'm so excited. I am joined by

0:05.0

the founder of Bond Charge, a product company that is near and dear to my heart. I don't even know

0:12.0

how to describe it like essentially optimizing light and metabolism and how would I describe it, Andy?

0:19.7

So welcome. Yeah, I think it's um I it's always a

0:22.4

difficult one because people always default calling us say a red light therapy company but we do

0:26.5

so much so much more that's why I was like how do I even yeah I think what what we like to

0:31.5

describe ourselves as is we are we create environments using light heat and rhythm which fix our biology because we're

0:41.3

living in environments at the moment that are so mis-mix match to our biology you know wrong

0:46.7

lighting EMFs you know temperature controlled everything that were no longer optimized from a

biological standpoint so So our products

1:00.0

wellness environments using our technology that fix your biology.

1:04.0

1:10.0

experiencing a lot of anxiety and such from the use of

1:13.4

social media, I naturally went to the process of trying to understand what was going on in my

1:25.3

So I'm curious, what was your journey in actually even starting to be

1:30.5

interested in this? Yeah, it's a really, really good way to sort of explain how my thought

1:36.0

process went and how I went from being very sick to very healthy by looking at certain aspects

1:41.8

of well-being. It all started maybe like going back to 2014.

1:48.0

That wasn't when the company was formed, that was 2018.

1:51.0

But 2014 was when something changed in me and it was all diet related.
