Special Announcements:
::: Save 10% On The Blue Blockers I Use For More Restorative, Deep Sleep :::
Something you'll rarely catch me wearing: sunglasses. Something you'll frequently catch me wearing: blue light blocking glasses. See, sunglasses block sunlight from reaching your optic nerve, resulting in decreased production of protective melanin, and thus a higher risk of a carcinogenic and uncomfortable sunburn.
Blue blockers, on the other hand, block harmful blue light from modern LED, fluorescent lights, and screens—all of which can disrupt your circadian rhythm, causing increased production of stress hormones like cortisol and the suppression of melatonin at night. This leads to poor sleep and mitochondrial function, slowed metabolism, weight gain, increased rate of chronic disease, low energy, and decreased overall health.
I've tried many blue blockers throughout the years, but the brand I've landed on for functionality (and style) is Ra Optics. You can get your own pair of Ra Optics blue blockers here and save 10% when you use code BEN10 at checkout.

Featured Product: Kion Decaf Coffee!
Fresh from Kion HQ in Boulder, CO and our highly-skilled roasters, Kion Decaf Coffee is finally here.
Using the same specialty-grade coffee beans and ultra-high standards of testing that made Kion Coffee wildly popular, we've crafted Kion Decaf Coffee to bring you the same aroma and flavor—with almost zero caffeine.
We maintain our commitment to offering the cleanest coffee possible by starting with 100% organic, mold- and mycotoxin-free beans, roasting them to high antioxidant/low acrylamide perfection, and decaffeinating it using Mountain Water Processing (MWP).
Nearly identical to the Swiss Water Process you're probably familiar with, MWP uses, you guessed it, pure mountain water and removes the caffeine without the use of chemicals. MWP maintains the beans’ original components and elements of flavor—giving you delicious, aromatic, decaffeinated coffee.
Click here to get your hands on some Kion Decaf Coffe, and use code BEN10 for 10% off your purchase.

Hi Ben – I’m a Boundless owner and I notice that you’ve just changed the BluBlocker recommendation from what you have in the links in Chapter 7 of the Bonus material. Do you have any plans to keep those links up to date as you change your recommendations? Or better yet, would be to offer a digital subscription to Boundless where you update sections of the book and recommendations as you change them. This could come with a Wirecutter style newsletter where you let people know of the updates as you make them and provide your explanation/link to podcasts etc. This would be a tremendous service to your readers as many things in the book have probably already changed and I’ve noticed that some of the links go to products that are discontinued etc. And it could be priced to make it worth your while financially, more than publishing book updates.
Ben,
Where is the independent lab testing for the NoChoice clothes?
I can find nothing, where they are based out of who owns then if they are in the states or not.
Then which is better at blocking EMF or the humane energy HECS or NoChoice?
Then what is the affect on folks that where this stuff…seems it could mess with your energy field / Ora maybe make you not so tuned in and forget to check your bow string…
Cheers,
Mike
