Today, I am blessed to have here with me Andy Mant. He is the founder of BON CHARGE, a science-backed light management company. From just a $1,500 investment Andy started BON CHARGE in 2017 and has quickly grown BON CHARGE to an 8-figure business in just 3 years. Andy was born in Dorset, England and moved to Australia in 2011 to pursue a better life. Andy never fitted into the corporate work environment and felt the typical 9-5 work mentality was stifling his creativity. In early 2017 Andy was told by a leading psychiatrist that he should work for himself as he displayed CEO and leadership characteristics which are rarely seen. This was the inception point for the creation of BON CHARGE! Andy is a proven blueprint of how you can make your millions quickly in your 30s and do so with very little investment and almost zero risk. Andy aims to empower others to reach their potential and get out of the rat race and build a better future for themselves and those around them. In this episode, Andy Mant speaks about how you can improve your overall well-being with his BON CHARGE products. He dives into how light can drastically change your circadian rhythm, which will, in turn, impact how well you are sleeping. Andy explains why you should go outside and get cardiovascular exercise in the morning. Tune in as we chat about how sunglasses and sunscreen could be linked to cancer, why eating before bed will adversely impact your melatonin production, and the fantastic benefits of red light therapy.

[15:40] The Effects of Light on Your Circadian Rhythm and Sleep Everyone has a circadian rhythm. Our body’s main environmental cue system for entrainment is light. Before modern times, there wouldn't have been any artificial blue light present. The sunrise and sunset would have trained our body clocks. When we are outside during sunset, it is the brain's cue to start reducing cortisol levels and producing something called melatonin, our sleep hormone. Cell phones, TVs, and other lights keep us in perpetual daytime and tell our brains that we don't need to go to sleep. One way to transition your brain to sleep mode is by keeping your room nice and dark. [28:05] Get Some Cardiovascular Exercise After Breakfast To Start Your Day Walk after you have a big breakfast and get some sunlight. People that go out and eat in sunlight in the mornings experience more weight loss than those that eat under blue light. Cardiovascular exercise seems to be more favored in the morning for humans from a circadian rhythm standpoint. Weight lifting is better in the afternoons in terms of our circadian rhythm. [36:10] How Eating Before Bed Will Impact Your Melatonin Production When you eat before bed, you're going to reduce the amount of melatonin production in your body. Melatonin is the most potent antioxidant in the world. The less melatonin you have, the less sleep hormone you'll have, the less REM sleep you'll get, and the less deep sleep you'll get. Without enough melatonin, you will not let your body recover properly while sleeping.

If you're wearing sunscreen or if you're wearing sunglasses, there is a potential cause for concern because you're no longer sending messages from the raw sunlight to your body. The type of light that comes through the sunglasses is being filtered instead of natural sunlight. Many people believe that sunglasses and sunscreen are causing cancer because we are creating junk light. Also, if you are getting sunlight through glass, it’s not the same as getting sunlight outside. [51:15] Red Light Therapy: Does It Really Work? Red light is the most studied type of light. Red light therapy has been shown to accelerate fat loss, boost collagen, reduce aging, improve muscle recovery, and improve arthritis. Plus, red light helps with sleep, psoriasis, and eczema. One study showed a 10% increase in weight loss for people who had red light therapy and were doing the same cardiovascular exercise on the treadmill as those who did not get red light therapy.
