Growing up, I faced severe health challenges: gut issues, allergies, headaches, and chronic fatigue. Daily, I battled exhaustion and struggled with allergies that made beautiful spring days unbearable. Traditional medicine didn't address the root causes, focusing only on symptoms. Hungry for answers, I delved into research. By 13, I tried various diets and supplements, which helped, but not enough. I'd always believed diet was paramount for health, but something deeper emerged. Enter mitochondria, our cellular engines. They need sunlight to function and darkness to repair. However, I realized that merely eating healthily or taking supplements wouldn't fix malfunctioning mitochondria. The solution? Aligning with nature's rhythm: sunlight during the day and darkness at night. Getting sunlight was free and simple. But avoiding light at night in our electrically-lit world? A serious challenge. Research showed high-energy blue light disrupted the body's circadian rhythm the most. A unique photoreceptor, melanopsin, linked directly to our body's master clock, affecting sleep, brain function, and metabolism. Prolonged exposure to artificial light, I discovered, affected my health significantly. To combat this, I used goggles that blocked disruptive light wavelengths, reaping immediate benefits in sleep and energy. But stylish options were lacking. So, I made them. Drawing inspiration from Ra, the Egyptian sun god, and optics science, ""Ra Optics"" was born. We've pioneered stylish blue light-blocking glasses that not only made a huge difference in my life, but now has positively affected the lives of over 50,000 people. Our lenses are crafted in collaboration with global experts, using advanced blue light-absorbing technologies.
