Robin Andersen, co-founder of Filter Optix (code: BIOHACKINGBRITTANY), joins me to explore how blue light exposure affects women’s sleep, hormones, and stress levels—and how simple light management can transform your energy, focus, and family routines.
Robin also shares how to use red, orange, and yellow lenses strategically throughout the day to support hormone balance and relaxation, especially for moms navigating night feeds or screen-heavy workdays.
Listen if you want practical ways to protect your sleep, skin, and nervous system while still living a very real, screen heavy life.
