Are your lights disrupting your hormones and sabotaging your sleep? Most people focus on diet and exercise but overlook light, yet it is one of the most powerful drivers of health. From your phone to your home lighting, the wrong exposure at the wrong time can throw off your circadian rhythm, spike cortisol, and leave you wired at night and exhausted in the morning.
In this episode, I sit down with Andy and Katie Mant, founders of Bon Charge, to break down how different types of light affect your body at a cellular level. We discuss how artificial light mimics midday sun signals and why morning sunlight is critical for serotonin and melatonin production.
We also explore how targeted light therapies can support skin health, recovery, detoxification, and energy, and practical biohacks you can implement immediately. If you want better sleep, balanced hormones, and improved recovery, this episode is for you!
