“What we’re finding is, because we’re not allowing our skin enough time to repair itself, it’s accelerated aging in all of us.” - Andy
“We’re firm believers that technology is amazing, but we need to take these preventative measures against the EMF’s and blue light that’s coming out of not just the laptop, but other sources. We’ve also got to remember as well that our body craves natural light so even if we can only get out at three points during the day, there’s no excuse that people can’t get out.” - Andy
“Because light sends messages to your brain to tell the time of the day, it doesn’t matter if you’re wearing the blue light glasses for three hours before bed. You take them off before bed and exposure yourself to blue light, you’re sending another message to your brain.” - Andy
“Light has so much more to answer for than a lot of people give it credit for. It would be very naive of me to say that blue light is the sole cause of all these issues, but I think it’s a major contributor to a lot of poor lifestyle choices that we knowingly or unknowingly make.” - Andy
In today’s episode, we welcome back Andy Mant of BLUblox to talk about the harmful effects of blue light not only on our eyes, but on our bodies and our hormones as well. Andy and Lacy discuss why we need to care about blue light on a basic level, and expands to talk about how blue light exposure affects our hormones, specifically in terms of fertility per recent studies. They also talk about how blue light interacts with our circadian rhythms. Andy provides tips and hacks for things you can do in your house and to your technology devices to lessen blue light exposure, and increase exposure to healthy light.
