Episode notes

Welcome to the Siim Land Podcast. My name is Siim Land and Our guest today is Andy Mant. Andy is an entrepreneur, biohacker, and the CEO of BluBlox BluBlox is a company that provides products for creating the optimal light environment and circadian rhythm synchronization. I’ve been using the BluBlox blue-blocking glasses for 4 years and I love them. Their blue blockers block out the specific wavelength of blue light that has been shown to inhibit the production of melatonin in studies. I think using blue blockers is one of the easiest and fastest things you can do to improve the quality of your sleep, especially deep sleep. You can get a 15% discount off all their blue-blocking glasses, amber, and red lightbulbs, and the new portable red light therapy device called the Hive if you use the code SIIM at blublox.com. That’s blublox.com and the 15% discount is SIIM.
