Summary
Chronobiology is how clock systems impact us from a physiological and biological standpoint. It's how we regulate those time pieces within our body to create that harmonious environment, the whole orchestra playing, and you do that by managing your light hygiene in line with how our circadian clock system has evolved which is under natural sunlight and dark cycles. - Andy Mant
Wellness + Wisdom Episode 546
Andy Mant, the founder and CEO of BON CHARGE, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom podcast to reveal new discoveries about how blue light affects our physical health and sleep, and why we need to use red light therapy to recover from the damage caused by blue light.
Do you know that blue light is absorbed not only through the eyes but also through the skin?

| 0:00.0 | The World Health Organization, for what it's worth, has classified artificial blue light as a 2C carcinogen. |
| 0:06.9 | When I was going through the research, my jaw dropped open. |
| 0:09.8 | So we're only really 25 years into this pandemic of blue light. |
| 0:14.0 | Only really now starting to see some more of these longer-term studies coming out, which is showing the long-term issues. |
| 0:20.6 | It's like smoking, right? When that initially came out, people are like, oh, it's healthy. Your doctor smokes camels. People just think it's digital screens that have blue light in. Well, actually, your house lights, full of blue light. If you open your fridge, what light is shining back at you? Blue light, you open it up and blast your eyes with blue light, which is disrupting |
| 0:37.5 | your hormones every time you go into the fridge. The car headlights, street lamps, security |
| 0:42.7 | lights all contain blue light. Blue light isn't a digital problem, it's an LED problem. If you've |
| 0:48.3 | got lights around you that isn't the sun, that's classified junk light, which will be high in blue |
| 0:53.6 | and will disrupt your circadian biology. Do you think it's five years from now, 10 years from sun, that's classified junk light, which will be high in blue and will disrupt |
| 0:54.5 | its circadian biology. |
| 0:55.5 | Do you think it's five years from now, ten years from now, that all the companies |
| 0:59.1 | that make the LEDs and the fluorescence and all these office buildings that are literally |
| 1:03.9 | poisoning people, forgive them they do not know? |
| 1:06.9 | That's why we're here bringing awareness. |
| 1:08.6 | Do you think that scientists are going to come to Congress and say, hey, this light is actually making people sick? |
| 1:27.2 | I am excited about this because there's a huge part of so many people's minds that honestly, |
| 1:33.9 | Andy, they just have a blank spot when it comes to the way that lights that we're kind of surrounded |
| 1:40.3 | by in this world are making us sick. |
| 1:43.6 | And it's so crazy because 500 shows, Andy, |
| 1:46.3 | we've had guests that are really intelligent like you on the show. And we've never done the |
| 1:50.6 | deepest dive into light and chronobiology. So, man, thank you for being here. Welcome to the podcast. |
| 1:57.8 | Thank you so much for having me on. I'm super excited to take this deep dive with you |
