This is episode number 459 of the Intermittent Fasting Podcast. I'm Melanie Avalon and I am here today with a very special guest about a very special topic that I've been talking about for years and years and years. And I have just experienced a whole nother level of this thing. So friends, we talk all the time on the show and I talk all the time about the importance of taking charge of your light exposure, regulating your circadian rhythm, dealing with the problems of artificial light that we're exposed to today and all the negative effects that it has on your health. So I have historically been wearing for over, I mean, a very long time, like over a decade, I've been trying to wear the concept, and I'm saying trying because this is before quote biohacking was a thing, but the concept of blue light blocking glasses. This was actually one of the first things I started doing in the whole quote biohacking sphere. And wearing glasses to not be exposed to artificial light all the time, especially in the evening has been without a doubt one of the most game-changing things I've ever done in my entire life. It is a complete non-negotiable. So that's my history there. So I was super excited because there's quite a few different companies on the market making glasses like this. I met, I'm trying to think how long ago it was now, but it was last year, I learned about this new company. Well, they weren't new, but they were new to me called Hyperlight. And so on first glance, I was like, oh, these are blue light blocking glasses, I'm very familiar with this. And then I realized it goes beyond that. So these glasses, which when I met the company, they were not yet in the US, they were just international. They integrate into their glasses something else I have talked a lot about, which is C60. So I've talked about C60 before, I've done some interviews on it. I've talked about it as a supplement. This is actually using this molecule, which we will talk about today on the show and integrating it into the glasses to actually not only deal with blue light, which we're gonna talk about that, but also transform the light.
Melanie Avalon
And I know that can sound a little woo woo and out there. There are so many studies that this company is involved in, Hyperlight, that prove this actually does work. I was reviewing the scientific literature prepping for the show and I was actually blown away. Like there's literally even a study talking about the Fibonacci sequence integrated into glasses and how it affects brainwaves. Like there's actual scientific literature on this.
And then on top of that, on top of that, I am blown away by the design of these glasses. They have so many options, anything you could think of, and we'll talk about the different options, but I wore them to the eudaimonia conference. I go to, I don't know which conference it was, to the eudaimonia conference and the harsh convention lighting. And I can't even tell you how many people walked up to me and wanted to know where I got these glasses because they are that amazing looking, just from like a style perspective. So I am so excited because Hyperlight has now officially launched in the US. And I am here with Sonja who works at the company and she is overseeing the US product launch. And she's, first of all, she's a fabulous human being and I'm so excited to be talking with her today. But she has all of the details about, you know, what is going on with these glasses in this company and why you guys should get a pair for yourselves now, for your friends and loved ones, all the things. So Sonja, thank you so much for being here. It's been such an honor to meet you and get to know you and to learn more about the company and I am obsessed with these glasses. So thank you so much for being here.
Sanja Trivunovic
Thank you Melanie, a pleasure is mine and I'm so happy that I had a chance to meet you and what I want to say is like definitely in business is the best and most valuable thing is the people you get a chance to meet so I'm grateful and thank you for everything and thank you for loving the glasses and thank you for you being the amazing human being and thank you for having me here.
Melanie Avalon
No, I go that right back at you and that actually made me think about when we first started emailing because, you know, I'm always like emailing a lot of brands, a lot of people and some people you can just tell like when you start emailing them like, oh, like I'm going to really enjoy talking to this person and you're just so awesome. Like we have a tendency to go on tangents and talk about, you know, lots of random stuff.
But in any case, so to get things started, what is your personal story with this company? So like how did you get involved with Hyperlite? Like what did you first think when you experienced the glasses? I'm just curious how, like what was your journey into what you're doing now overseeing the U.S. launch?
Sanja Trivunovic
Yeah, well, it's quite interesting the hyperlight optic glasses, we will talk about the heritage and how they were created, but I can say that it started because the company wanted to start launching in the US. So first of all, I didn't say I want to apologize in advance for my accent, I will try to do my best to do it good.
But yeah, it started that the company and the brand, they wanted to do the US launch and with my experience with the other brands and other products, I was happy to do it because of the glasses because I was like, okay, I believe in this product because once I tried the hyperlight glasses, I don't wear other glasses that I have. So yeah, that's the only thing because I believe in the product and it's super interesting and it's super interesting to educate people and to present something that is patented and no one has it and it gives you benefits to a better life. So yeah, simple as that.
Melanie Avalon
So before meeting the company, you were you wearing other like quote blue light blocking glasses or was this your first and I know we're going to talk about the idea of blue light blocking and maybe it's not just blue light blocking that we want to be doing, but were you doing anything wearing anything like that or was this your first exposure? No problem.
Sanja Trivunovic
Yeah, actually, I tried it a few times, but I was not a person who was wearing low light blocking glasses, nor I think I will ever be for probably a different reasons, not because they're bad, but I'm just not that type.
Melanie Avalon
Is it just about blue light blocking like like so what is the problem and the issues today with the light that we are exposed to and what what do we need to be blocking and not blocking like just what what's happening here well.
Sanja Trivunovic
Yeah, it's interesting to talk about this because we see on the internet a lot of things that actually I want to address also with you today. We are completely, hyperlight optics eyewear is something completely different than a blue light blockers. And the key difference is simple, but fundamental.
So standard blue light glasses block light, they eliminate the blue white lens and hyperlight optics transforms light. So with the fuller and C60 and that's the main difference. And it's not only during the night, so your circadian rhythm is damaged usually in the night, you know, because your brain, it's evening, but you watch it, your screen, your TV, your street lights, and your brain doesn't know is it night or day and that's perfectly clear, but what about for the rest of the day, when you wake up in your home, there is also light, there is not good, you go to the office, you go to the mall, airport, everywhere, everywhere you're on the screens, working computer, everywhere you go, there is a harsh light. So the main difference is because you can wear hyperlight optics eyewear from the morning to evening, the same pair. You can wear it while working on your screen. You can wear it by walking, running, driving till the bedtime and you can wear it in the sun because as you as well, also the brand. The point is that you can wear hyperlight eyewear also outdoor, which is not the case with the blue light blockers because they also block the good spectrum of the blue light. So yes, that's the simplest possible.
Melanie Avalon
Yeah, no, so this is like such a key difference. And again, it was something that I was not at all aware of.
Because, like you're saying, I had had sort of a binary approach to, and I keep using the word blue light buying glasses, because that's the phrase that people are accustomed to. And that's historically what I've been using. But it sounds like so what you're saying is those glasses, pretty much like block blue light, which is good for not being exposed to the stimulus that would mess up our circadian rhythm. So like in the evening, you know, you don't want to beat that blue light exposure. But what you're saying is that, you know, we do need like a full exposure of light. And it's not so much about like blocking the blue as it is transforming the light from a harmful wavelength to a beneficial wavelength for our bodies. Is that what you're saying?
Sanja Trivunovic
Yes, exactly, exactly. So your, our glasses, hyperlight glasses are not blocking the lock, they're transforming it. So the full in C60 side of the lenses is transforming the light. It doesn't matter, is it, which kind of light, any artificial harsh life is transformed into the good, healthy life. Same as we love to say, wearing hyperlight eyewear is like wearable light therapy. So you have, from the morning you wake up to the evening, it's like you're receiving the light that is the best for you, that gives you your balance and that's the light in sunrise and sunset.
That's the most healthiest light. And also what is important to say when we speak about blue light blocking, we need to understand that not all blue light from screen is harmful. In fact, only a specific portion of the blue spectrum is considered problematic. And the potentially stressful part of the blue light is mainly in a high energy range that's between 380 and 420 nanometers. That's the sharp artificial blue light that can contribute to the visual fatigue and biological overstimulation. But we need to be fully aware of, and what I want to address that I believe and our team believes that is important up to the research we've done in the US market, where you can see the tests. For example, on the internet, so-called tests where they will say that blue light blocking glasses are only good, I mean, the strongest one, the red ones are only good if they eliminate completely, not only blue wavelengths, they eliminate blue color totally. So which is actually creating a new problems when blue light is completely blocked or eliminated, we can have a disordered color perception because screen no longer looks natural because we need to see the blue color. And then reduce visual clarity, confusing biological signals, unnatural viewing experience because it's not so logical for the human eye to look at the bright screen and receive no blood at all. So we need to be aware that not all blue light from the screens is bad. And what is more important, hyperlight optics is working with the light, not against it. And it's quite interesting the technology how actually C60 is transforming the light. So what I wanna say when you see those kinds of things on internet where people are saying, oh my God, my blue light blocking glasses, when I wear them, I see a blue color on the screen, but I wanna throw them away because apparently they're not working, it's not true, they're working, don't throw them away, please. You need to see the blue color, even with the blue light blocking glasses, you need to see some part of it. The main advantage is, especially for the people who are working as creatives, designers, developers, they need to see their screen, they need to see the clear colors. That's also one of the things that Hyperlight Eyewear is offering when we speak about the difference with the blue light blockers.
Melanie Avalon
I love this so much. What's interesting. I don't know why I hadn't really contemplated that until now.
I have mine on right now. So I'm like, I'm looking at my computer screen. Yeah, I can still see like, there's like the blue icons.
Sanja Trivunovic
Yes, of course, because it's normal, but believe me...
Melanie Avalon
Right. We would want to see blue, like blue is in the world. So yeah.
Sanja Trivunovic
our science team, it was very surprising because we saw, you know, that on the internet people are saying like, you have like three circles and like your blue light blocking glasses are not working if you don't see the blue color. It's not true.
So people like it's disturbing in the comments like when people started like, oh my god, I'm gonna throw them away, which one I should buy. It's totally disturbing that people really think that it's normal that you eliminate blue color because it's not normal that you're losing color perception if you don't see the the full spectrum of colors and basically the whole colors that we see on screen the, you know, from the spectrum you have three basic colors. You have red, you have yellow, you have blue, you know, you need to see them so you would have a, you will have a, you know, perception and so yeah it's
Melanie Avalon
It's interesting. I mean, not to harp on it, but I'm just thinking about it practically.
It makes sense. It makes sense if you just think about it that in the world there's clearly all this artificial light, which is doing damage to us, and yet the color blue in and of itself would not be something bad for us when people are walking through the world as hunter-gatherers. It's not like looking at something blue as bad, so that completely just makes sense from a practical standpoint.
Sanja Trivunovic
Exactly, exactly, exactly. So yeah, please, people don't throw away your blue light blocking glasses, whichever brand you have, because they probably work perfectly and they don't need to eliminate the blue color.
So it's not all the blue color from the, from the screen that, especially with hyperlights, you don't even, you know, you don't even need to worry about this because it's going to be transformed into a healthy life.
Melanie Avalon
I know because I struggle with, because I know we've been talking about how the role of education, and I just think it's so important to educate people on what they can do best to take charge of their life and optimize their body and all the things. And the struggle I have here with talking about this is people are very familiar with taking charge of their light exposure.
And we all use this term, blue light blocking glasses, because that's historically what it's been. So I like using the term to get people familiar with what we're talking about, but then it's like, it's different. Like, we need a new term, like a more general term for these. What would you call them? Like, besides hyperlight? Like, like what category of glasses would you call them? Like, like transforming glasses, I guess? You said something earlier, light therapy glasses. It's a non-existing category.
Sanja Trivunovic
We are alone. I know. We got to make it up. Yeah.
What we love to call it, it's like a wearable technology, wearable light therapy. Wearable light therapy, yeah. Yeah, it could be like this, but definitely, yeah, those are the only glasses in the world that actually transform light. And it's fascinating the technology behind that and how C60 fullerene is. It should be explored more and used more because it has so many benefits in light and also in the structure of the human body. So, yeah, maybe we can be, you know, the first glasses that are transforming light.
Melanie Avalon
wearable light therapy, yes.
Sanja Trivunovic
wearable eye therapy. That's actually a good one, yeah.
Melanie Avalon
Well, I was fascinated because like I said, I was pretty familiar with C60, which actually the molecule itself won a Nobel Prize. But historically, the experience I'd had with it was as a supplement.
It's a fascinating molecule. It actually had one of the, from a supplement perspective, it had one of the longest, like it was a rodent study, but it showed the longest extension of lifespan. I think of like any study and that was in rodents, but its structure is like just really unique. It's actually similar to the structure. I mean, I think it is the structure of people know like the Epcot ball in Disney World. That's what it, that's like the structure that it is. So that compound, they actually, it's literally in the lenses of these glasses and then it, that's how it transforms the light.
Sanja Trivunovic
C60 is actually a perfectly symmetrical molecule, which is made of 60 carbon atoms, and it looks like a soccer ball. Maybe people will understand it better.
Also, what is interesting, graphite and diamond are also important forms of carbon. A fun fact is that the Fuller and C60 is much more expensive than diamond, and they're in the same group. I think it's
Melanie Avalon
harder than diamonds too. Definitely. So it's in the lens, like it's literally in the lens. Yes.
Sanja Trivunovic
it's in the lens. We have eight layers and each glasses they have infused, they're infused with the fuller NC-16 molecule. And what is interesting is that, how I love to say it so the people could understand, the molecule is all the time live in the lenses. It's twisting. It's like a flicker and it's twisting more than 80 billions times per second. And that's how it's actually light, it's transformed.
So when you have a harsh direct straight light going to your eyes, it comes to the lenses and then lenses absorb that light and then transform it into the form of a carbon molecule fuller in C-60. So direct harsh lives gets a shape of a carbon fuller in C-60 and that's a shape that is arranged in pectagons and hexagons. And that's actually the most interesting relationship with C-60 and the light. So yeah, it has the ability to absorb photons, that's light energy, more efficiently and also a natural capacity to redistribute that energy evenly. So yeah, and the fuller in C-60 is completely stable so it cannot be disrupted by any light. So every time any kind of light goes through the fuller in C-60, it will always be and stay in the form of carbon, actually that soccer ball. And the other thing is also not only connection with the light but also connection with the human body because the behavior of C-60 aligns with the biological systems. Scientific research shows that C-60 acts as one of the most powerful known antioxidants and help actually protect cells from oxidative stress, which is a key driver of aging and cellular damage, which is actually we need that a lot today. And the simple things however I would say is C-60 has a form and a structure of a perfectly balanced human body. So that's the connection of C-60 and our organism.
So yeah, it's pretty interesting and that's why C-60 is also studied in photophysics, photomedicine, solar and light-based technologies.
Melanie Avalon
That's amazing. So basically it's transforming light like chaotic forms of light into a structured ordered form of light that is balanced and supports the body. And like I said, I've done a deep dive into it from a supplement perspective and the studies are really interesting on, like you said, that it's antioxidant potential, how it supports fighting oxidative stress in the body. And like I said, really impressive studies on longevity. So yeah, this is all just completely fascinating.
I will just say that from like a user experience perspective, you really feel like I just feel better wearing them. Like it makes me feel me personally, and I'm sure everybody reacts differently, but makes me feel calmer. Like I said, I wore them all at the Unimonia conference. And then I wore them in the airport because the airport lighting is not the best. And it's really just like a really amazing experience. And I had a lot of people in the like, I love your glasses. Because like I said, these, the style of these are, you guys make so many styles, which must be really fun. How is the, again, I'm going back to the word blue light blocking glasses, but what people are accustomed to, they're not usually accustomed like a ton of choices or not ones that look like stylish and cool. You guys have so many different categories, so many different types. So do you have a favorite? Oh, and I have some practical questions about because you market them online. Some say that they're for indoors. Some say they're for outdoors. And I remember asking you about this because I was really alert by the Eclipse blue model, which is like really futuristic and really cool. And it said though, that it was for outdoors. And I was like, can I wear this indoors? So basically, what are the different types with indoor versus outdoors? And you mentioned earlier, like sunlight and natural light. So do these block UV? What is the role of UV? So those two different questions. So I guess first, all the different styles, is the catalog constantly evolving? Or how are the designs made? Well, yeah.
Sanja Trivunovic
the catalog is constantly evolving and every year we are launching new models. So yes, we have models that are five or six years in portfolio and each year we're launching the new ones. It's important.
We want to feel good and that's the vision of the brand and the whole company over the decades. It's that, yeah, we want to feel good. We want to be the best version of ourselves, but we also want to look good because we are all visual creatures. So that's why Hyper Light glasses are also stylish and yes, you can wear them. That's actually the whole point of the brand. You can wear them anywhere, anytime and any person can wear it. It's not like, you know, how old are you? What is your job? What is your style? Anyone can wear it. You can even wear it to the super classy events, you know, you can wear it while, you know, sitting in your home and scrolling on your phone, running. So yeah, that's the point. So we want to be super healthy, innovative. We want to give a solution to the problem that is obviously present, but also we want to give people an option to look nice in those glasses and they're super lightweight, especially the ones that are, you know, titanium and stainless steel. So they're super lightweight. It's like you don't feel when you're wearing them and especially it's important also for driving because that's the difference. You feel the difference while you're driving, you know, you're less tired, which is super important to feel, you know, to feel, you know, focused and have a concentration while you're, you know, going on a trip.
And also what is important that each pair of glasses, you know, side frames, they're built like this that you can see the dandangle perfectly. And we all know that with sunglasses, any type of sunglasses, sometimes you can wear them or you need to lift them up because you don't see the dandangle, which is actually the problem. So yeah, you can wear them anywhere, anytime, and any person can wear it.
Melanie Avalon
some clarifying questions there. So my understanding when some, cause I guess on the Amazon page, I don't think they, oh, okay. They say like indoors and outdoors for all of them.
On the, cause on the main Hyperlite website, some were saying indoors and some were saying outdoors, but that was, is that because like the out, the quote outdoor ones, they have like a reflective glare on the outside so people can't see your eyes. So they look like outdoor glasses compared to like indoor glasses where you can see through them and like see the person's eyes. Well, actually.
Sanja Trivunovic
Actually, indoor and outdoor glasses, or we can call them universal, they can actually be worn inside and outside. The technology is completely the same. It's only going to be when you watch your screen and when you're inside, it's going to be a little bit lighter, so it's more comfortable. For the outdoor models, which of course can be worn inside, it's only preferences, but they offer better protection in some bright conditions. For example, we have polarized and mirror reflection lenses, where actually, yeah, people can see your eyes, so the technology is the same. Everything is the same, only because the indoor and outdoor models are more specific for some bright conditions.
If you're skiing, if you're somewhere on the mountain where it's very bright or the sun is so strong, it's going to be probably more comfortable. If you're spending a lot of time outside, it's maybe better to have an outdoor model. Light is still transforming, the technology is the same, but it's maybe going to be better for your eyes if the lenses have that one more coat polarized or like a mirror reflection. So that's the only difference, and indoor-outdoor lenses with the amber tinted lenses, they can be used anywhere, anytime, even during the night, that's the main difference.
Melanie Avalon
Awesome. And so, do they block UV?
Sanja Trivunovic
Actually, they're transforming UV. So that's the thing.
So because UV light doesn't help regulate circadian rhythm, mood or focus. So UV light is something that the eyes need protection from. And hyperlight optics, yes, they're offering full IV protection, but also they're transforming it. So when you're outside, you're, for example, at the beach and you want a healthy light, right? But the sunglasses, we will not talk about the blue light glasses here because you cannot obviously wear them outside. But if we talk about the regular sunglasses, they're blocking everything. They're blocking the healthy spectrum of the sunlight and they're blocking UV rays. And the hyperlight keeps the healthy sunlight and UV lights are transformed also in a healthy sunlight. So that's also basically the difference. Yes, you're totally fully protected, but not only protected, but your healthy sunlight is still reaching your mind and body.
Melanie Avalon
Amazing. Yeah, it's interesting.
So I completely forgot about this, but I got LASIK eye surgery. When did I get that? A few years ago, maybe four years ago or so. And the reason, I mean, there's a lot of reasons I wanted to get it. The thing that like sold me and I was like, I'm going to get this done is I was doing an interview and I don't remember who I was interviewing, but the topic came up about like what people wearing contact lenses and how that actually kept like blocked or that actually kept certain light from getting into your eyes like 24 seven and how your eyes actually like need light. So it sounds like these glasses are like the perfect solution to letting you be around light that could be problematic, including quote UV, including blue light, including all the things and just transforming it into the light that best supports your body. I mean, I just want to wear these 24 seven. Yes.
Sanja Trivunovic
Yes, but it is, and you know what's the most important when we speak about the hyperlight? Yeah, we can speak about the technology, we can speak about the rewards, we can speak that is born from a medical device therapy that is in company's portfolio for 30 years. But I think the most priceless thing is experience.
So when people try it, they don't want to take it off. And that's the thing because, yeah, you feel better, you're definitely feeling better. And you're right for the contact lenses. They're definitely blocking the light that is necessary for us. And yeah, and I would say that definitely people like you and people like us and everyone that has an influence need to start saying people like, don't be afraid of the sun, please. So don't go out every day so dead sun without the glasses or with the hyperlight. So yeah, but the experience is something that is most valuable when you see the person like instant happiness or how the people call them in Europe are people that are wearing them. They call them happy glasses. Yeah, call them happy glasses, like, oh, let me put on my happy glasses, because it's everything, this is more clear.
Melanie Avalon
That's so funny. Yeah.
And it's so interesting to me that it's that you guys are, you know, just now launching or newer to the US. And I remember when I was at the conference, I was with my friend Ian Clark from activation products. And so this is not endorsement from him. But I was wearing them. And he was like, Oh, those are hyper light. And he was like, Yeah, I've he's like, I've been using those for like, years from Europe. And they're like the most amazing thing. And I was like, I was like, Okay, this is amazing, like getting the endorsements from the people who, who really know.
And so what are your favorite models? Which one? What ones do you wear?
Sanja Trivunovic
Oh, I have many, that's the advantage. Now at the moment, I'm wearing zero G model. It's like a pilot model. And I also love, for example, aviators are probably my everyday model.
And which one from the round ones, maybe probably the lightest model. It's like you don't feel it, that you have it. It's astral green, they're round. So yeah, we have for everyone. If you wanna aviator style, pilot style, or you wanna round glasses, or you wanna rectangle, oversize. Yeah, so, but mine's I think zero G and aviators. I'm in that pilot mode.
Melanie Avalon
Awesome. I am so like I said the the blue ones the I call them blue but they're they're not really blue But the eclipse the eclipse blue.
Yeah, so right now I have on the aviator reds Which these are really really great for being indoors like and just like wearing at the computer and all the things I really like them and like I said the and then the ones I wore at the conference I wore the the zebra the blue ones the eclipse blue and then also the the rounder ones
Sanja Trivunovic
Tulum Silver, I think you have the Tulum Silver. Yeah, they're the most universal ones, like they suit everyone.
Melanie Avalon
It's funny. So I was going to wear Talium Silver. Is that how you say it? I was going to wear that primarily indoors because it is one where you can like see through to your eyes. But I was just so obsessed, obsessed with the eclipse blue ones. But I ended up wearing them like the majority of the time because they look so cool.
I can't even tell you how many people came up to me and commented. And this is like at a biohacking conference where people are very like accustomed and used to seeing people wearing glasses. But people were like coming up left or right. I mean, like, where did you get those? Like, and then I had to tell them and then I and then I would tell them like, oh, but these are not just, you know, your normal blue light blocking glasses. Like they have C60 and and all the things. So it's been really amazing. Another practical question. If people have prescription glasses, can they still wear these glasses? Or how would that work?
Sanja Trivunovic
We don't have that option now in the US, but we have it in the Europe. So unfortunately, yeah, of course, if you have like, you need to wear prescription glasses, of course there is no issue to, wait, stop Melanie.
How do you mean if they wear prescription glasses?
Melanie Avalon
I was wondering, so like, can you get these in prescription?
Sanja Trivunovic
I'm not at the moment in the U.S., but in Europe, yes, we have it. But in Europe, you can, though? Yeah, we have it in Europe. Like you can do it in prescription or any model, you can even choose the colors. So we have a lot of options.
But in the U.S., we don't have it.
Melanie Avalon
hopefully fingers crossed. Fingers crossed.
Sanja Trivunovic
We have actually one model, actually two models with the different lenses that they have a clip on. So yes, you can buy glasses where you have your prescription and just make a clip on like a magnet and there you go.
You have your prescription lenses and the full-on C60 lenses. So at the moment, that's what we offer in the US, although in Europe, yes, we are pretty good in that optical, you know, sense like offering full service of prescription lenses with the full-on C60, but hopefully we'll have it in the US. As well for the kids, it's also an important part of hyperlight portfolio.
Melanie Avalon
Fingers crossed for that. And the clip-on ones, are those the ones in the listings where they show the clear glasses behind and then they show the ones on top? Those are the clip-on ones.
Sanja Trivunovic
Exactly, exactly. Those are the ones.
Melanie Avalon
Perfect. Well, I will say these friends make, first of all, get a pair for yourself. And like I said, there's so many, so many different options and styles. So you can definitely find something that that works for you and it will transform your life. You will want to wear them 24 seven, you will be able to, like we were saying, actually see all the colors. You won't be like blocking all the blue. So you can see all the colors, you'll feel the difference. It's really just amazing.

And thank you for everything that you're doing with this company. What are you most excited about with the future of this company, especially now that you've, you know, are launching and have launched in the US?
Sanja Trivunovic
Well, definitely building a community around hyperlight optics and, you know, just to similar people. And yeah, that's it.
And because we want to show that we are not just brands like we're life philosophy and same like hyperlight glasses are offering, you know, a better perception to the world actually, which is quite important in life to have the right perception on the way how you look at things in life and you will live better.

So yeah, building a community is something that I'm looking forward to it. And thank you for being part of this.
It's my pleasure. It's our pleasure.
Melanie Avalon
No, thank you for thinking of me. And I just realized something that I didn't mention about them. Like, I'm saying that they look cool and everything. They also, the quality is so luxurious.
Like, you know, you know how people really like their like really fancy sunglasses that are like really bougie and everything? Like these are so well made. So like the material is just absolutely stunning. Like they're definitely like luxury glasses. And so all of that said, in addition to being these incredible luxury glasses, it takes care of the issue that some people might have where they need multiple pairs of glasses throughout the day. So especially if they're wearing traditional light blocking glasses, they might have a pair for inside. They might have like a darker pair that they wear at night. And they have like a pair that they wear outside for UV. And so, you know, they have to have these multiple pairs of glasses. And while you guys do have tons of styles and so, you know, feel free to go crazy and get all the different styles, you also can just have one pair. And because it's transforming light, like that's what it does. You can just wear that pair, that pair anywhere, like all day. It'll it'll address stuff in the morning. It'll address the stuff in the afternoon, the evening events inside, outside.
So yeah, that's another really great thing that I love about this. So again, friends, go to if podcast dot com slash hyperlight. Use the coupon code Melanie 10 X to get 10 percent off one order, 15 percent off two or more ongoing. So, Sonya, thank you so much. Hopefully we can meet at a conference here this year. I know you're not a planner, but you're working on it with your new year's goals.
Sanja Trivunovic
working on it and I feel so sorry because people now that are listening to your podcast can't actually hear our usual conversation. I think that would be quite interesting to hear how you and me are communicating but okay and I hope we will see.
I hope I will manage to plan like you so I hope we will see soon in the U.S. and prepare some great stuff about the brand and about the community so yeah thank you for everything.
Melanie Avalon
No, you're welcome. No, no, just just like a teaser or just like to let listeners in a little bit a little bit on what we're talking about. So Sonia and I have been talking about how we're we are complete opposites when it comes to being planners or not. Like I I plan everything. It's how I like feel good about my life. It's how I like anticipate things with happiness. And like I like live by my calendar and planning. And Sonia is like was the anti planner, not about planning, but but now she's trying it as her New Year's resolution. So yay, small, small, I know, baby steps, baby steps.
Yeah. So thank you so, so much, Sonia. We'll have to have you on again in the future. Can't wait to meet you in her life. And I can't wait for listeners to try hyperlight. So thank you so much for all that you do. Thank you for everything. Bye. Bye. Thank you so much for listening to the Intermittent Fasting Podcast.
