Optimal Protein Podcast (Fast Keto) with Vanessa Spina

Fat Cells, Insulin Resistance, Blue Light & Circadian Rhythms! This is one of my favorite episodes of Fast Keto! Andy Mant is an exceptionally fascinating guest and we talk about how blocking blue light helps to lower cortisol, the effect of light on skin and scar tissue, melatonin as a hormone and red light therapy. This is a must listen episode!

Andy Mant is the founder and CEO of BLUblox, a company specializing in evidence based advanced light filtering eyewear. Andy started BLUblox after becoming dissatisfied with the quality and standards of blue light blocking glasses available and so set about to design lenses that match the evidence is the academic literature. Andy was born in the UK and moved to Australia in 2011. After moving and about 2 years after arriving Andy gained a lot of weight and become chronically fatigued and lacked energy. Dietary approaches only worked to a certain degree and after stumbling across light and health Andy forged a passion and niche understanding of all things light related to health. Today Andy is a leading figure in managing light to improve health and wellbeing.
