Light Rx: Red Light Therapy for Youthful Skin, Faster Recovery, & Brain Health With Andy Mant

You might think blue light is just part of modern life—phones, tablets, TVs, and LED bulbs everywhere—but what if it's quietly wrecking your sleep, spiking your cortisol, and accelerating aging? Andy Mant, founder and CEO of Bon Charge, breaks down how exposure to artificial blue light is disrupting our circadian rhythms, messing with melatonin production, and leading to poor sleep, brain fog, and even weight gain.

But it’s not all bad news. Andy also shares the incredible benefits of red light therapy—how it helps with muscle recovery, injury healing, anti-aging, and even hair regrowth.

Learn why your phone and laptop screens might be telling your brain it’s noon at midnight, how blue light disrupts melatonin just like caffeine does, and why simply switching your light bulbs can make a massive difference in your energy levels, sleep quality, and longevity.

Plus, Andy shares insights on the science-backed benefits of red light therapy for collagen production, muscle recovery, and even fat loss.

"Light impacts your skin. Blue light disrupts melatonin. Red light is healing and restorative." ~ Andy Mant
