Unlocking the Power of Red Light Therapy

In this episode, I sit down with Andy Mant, CEO and Co-Founder of Bon Charge, to shed light (literally) on one of the most overlooked tools in the biohacking toolbox: light.

Andy shares how modern lighting environments are silently hijacking our circadian rhythms, sleep, hormones, and metabolic health — and what you can do about it. We bust myths, explore red light therapy, and dive into practical hacks for reclaiming your health in a screen-saturated world.

Whether you're struggling with energy crashes, sleep issues, or just want to feel and look better, this episode is your blueprint for becoming light-savvy in a tech-heavy world.

We unpack:

  • Why light is more than illumination — it's information for your biology.

  • Andy breaks down the science behind blue light exposure and its link to poor sleep, weight gain, and hormone disruption.

  • Learn how red light therapy enhances cellular repair, reduces inflammation, and supports skin health and longevity.

  • Discover simple home hacks to protect your circadian rhythm and improve sleep (spoiler: your bedroom light matters).

  • We explore the role of blue-blocking glasses, screen filters, and smart wearables in daily light hygiene.

  • Andy shares his own wellness routine, the birth of Bon Charge, and how he's helping people take control of their light environment to live longer, healthier lives.

This episode is a must-listen if you're serious about optimising your biology — not just through food and exercise, but through one of the most underappreciated longevity levers: light.
