Matt is a young expert in all thing’s ancestral health and a massive inspiration! He suffered health issues from a young age and soon realized that conventional medicine and doctors were not the answer.

From thirteen years of age, he began to hack his way to health and has managed to mitigate his health issues and could be a poster young adult for Optimal Health.  He is currently only 21 years of age and is highly influential, best known for the Light Diet. His primary mentor is Dr. Jack Kruse, but Matt has also tried and tested his own ideas and ways to reach Optimal health. After extensive research, Matt developed his own line of Blue Blocking Glasses and this is how Ra Optics was born.

Ra Optics are now positioned as the best quality blue blocking glasses in the world. Matt also has a blog and podcast where he shares his knowledge and hopes to make positive change in the world.
