BluBlox
What brands of blue light blockers do we recommend? BluBlox is definitely a go to. The CEO Andy Mant on the show before where we got into a really deep dive on blue light. If you get any amount of blue light in your glasses, no matter if it’s 3%, 10%, it disrupts melatonin production. So Andy has created blue light blockers that hold up to the highest standards. And in fact, you can see he’s tested it versus other brands and that they always come out on top.

Water: Everything You Needed and Never Wanted to Know with Robert Slovak
Episode 202
Monday, July 19, 2021 • Duration 01:20:20
World leading water researcher Robert Slovak joins me on the show to talk about the things you have to know about the water we all drink.
Who is Robert Slovak?
Robert Slovak devoted himself to the science of water after life-altering experiences. He took his astronautical and mechanical engineering degrees and decided to pursue the research of reverse osmosis with his brother Jack. The dynamic duo were considered the early developers of Reverse Osmosis technology.
Robert is best known for co-founding Water Factory Systems in the early 1970’s. He and his brother were among the early developers of Reverse Osmosis (RO) technology and its many applications.
Their successful innovations encompassed home and office RO drinking water systems, bottled water production, laboratory purification, hemodialysis, seawater desalination, microchip production, bottled water production, water vending, spot-free vehicle washing and more.
Highlights
[5:30] Common concerns around tap water
[20:50] Potential tools to solve water purity problems
[25:20] What is water distillation?
[28:00] What is reverse osmosis?
[32:45] Do we need to add minerals back to processed water?
Our sponsor for today’s show is one of the two brands of blue light blockers that I actually recommend using. I’ve had the CEO Matt Maruca on the show before and we got into a two-hour long discussion, which I think to this day is the longest episode of the Decoding Superhuman podcast. But his company raw optics has made blue light blockers sexy. And the beauty of their product is that blue light doesn’t get in. If any amount of blue light gets in, that Netflix show you’re watching late at night, that book that you’re reading on your iPad, that email that you’re answering, is disrupting your sleep.
So where do you get yours? Head over to plug in the code Boomer you’ll get 10% off your order.

Road Warrior Essentials
Episode 111
Tuesday, September 10, 2019 • Duration 59:55
Andreas Breitfeld discusses perpetual jetlag, life without hormones, and recovery from the road. As the Head of KTC Lab, Andreas created an incredible EMF-blocking travel pant to benefit road warriors worldwide.
Who is Andreas Breitfeld?
No question, traveling is fun and what better way to broaden your horizons than by traveling the world? If you want to get to know other people, cultures and other markets, you have to leave your home behind from time to time. When Andreas started his own business about 15 years ago with a PR and marketing agency, it was clear to me from the very beginning how important it was to be as close as possible to everything that was happening in my industry around the globe.
The concept worked and with the success of the agency, Andreas' travel volume increased as well. In some years, Andreas visited the USA, Canada, China and South Korea more often than France or Italy in his entire life.
At some point, Andreas realized that adapting to new time zones was harder and harder. He had massive problems recovering at all. Increasing sleep problems, food intolerances, heavy metal poisoning, leaky gut, too much cortisol at first, then probably no cortisol at all at some point - his lifestyle took its toll.
Andreas' travel problems peaked parallel to the introduction of the Skynet, i.e. the wireless networks in the airplane. Andreas sat one day in Thailand at the beach and had to admit to himself that, despite the success, he was physically and increasingly mentally completely down.
Andreas began to do research and was amazed at much of the knowledge he gained. And he realized that he needed help.
Luckily Andreas found understanding, the right support and the way (back) to biohacking. This already fascinated him as the first fitness editor of Shape magazine. As in the past, it fascinates Andreas not only to understand things theoretically, but also to try them out in practice. Thanks to a happy combination of perseverance and willingness to take risks, Andreas managed to get back to his starting point within nine months.
