If you're anything like me, you focus on whipping up healthy kitchen creations, guzzle down filtered water and take supplements to optimise the way you look and feel on a daily basis. You make an effort to move, follow mindfulness practises and you're working towards making your home a safe zone from EMF's. If you're not there yet, that's ok. One step at a time (my support here might help you along the way).

But I have a question for you. Have you ever considered how light impacts your health? Not just for absorbing vitamin D or preventing yourself from burning in the summer sun.

Light exposure can either help or hinder your health depending on the source and the time of day. Yes, this can impact your sleep, moods, energy levels and so much more. It's time to open this can of worms so you can understand why the natural and synthetic lighting you're exposed to matters and how you can make healthy decisions for your hormones, fertility, pregnancy and baby health. 

Let me introduce you to an expert in this field, Daniel Ebbett. 

Daniel is a visionary leader in the field of blue light and its effects on human health. As the founder and CEO of BlockBlueLight, a premier global brand for blue and artificial light-blocking products, he has made it his mission to promote and educate the science behind modern phenomena such as digital eye strain and poor sleep, and the connection these have with screen overuse. 

Through his innovative product range, he champions eye health, sleep quality, and overall well-being. His journey to create BlockBlueLight began with a personal quest to fix his own health issues, including chronic insomnia, eye strain, and migraines, which were caused by his own overuse of electronic devices. 

Determined to find a solution, Daniel embarked on extensive research and discovered the impact of blue light on circadian rhythms, which can suppress melatonin secretion and cause sleep issues. He also learned about the dangers of chronic exposure to artificial light during the day, including eye strain, migraines, and even permanent eye damage. 

Today, BlockBlueLight is recognized as one of the most trusted and respected international brands in blocking blue light technology. With a passion for helping people live healthier lives, the company aims to make mitigating blue light a mainstream concern and empower individuals with the tools and knowledge they need to thrive in today's digital age.
