Zestology: Live Life with Energy, Vitality, Motivation, Health, Confidence, Great Sleep, Biohacking ...

Gil Blander is the genius behind InsideTracker. If you want to optimize and biohack and be at your best, it’s worth doing some detailed health testing. I’ve been using a company that can do it all at home. InsideTracker is an ultra-personalized performance system that analyzes data from your blood, DNA, lifestyle and fitness tracker to help you optimize your body and reach your health & wellness goals.  So what about my results? One of my blood markers came back well outside range, and now they are helping me to make some detailed changes. That’s great. It’s just something I wouldn’t have known unless I’d taken the test. You can even upload your DNA results to the portal too for extra insights. Visit https://info.insidetracker.com/zestology for a big discount - 25% off, and a cheesy picture of me. And enjoy the podcast.

Today we devote a whole section to that most noble of causes: hacking hangovers and staying energized even when drinking alcohol (responsibly, of course). Why the title of the podcast? Listen on to find out. I am unfortunately Mr. Sensitive these days when it comes to booze. Maybe it’s an age thing. Or maybe I always was a lightweight. But just like many people, I still do want the occasional drink. You may do as well. It turns out there are some unusual, radical hacks you can employ to drink cleaner and feel better the next day. Sure, alcohol can be toxic. But so can oxygen, water and even carrots in the wrong dosage. (Some years ago, an unfortunate death did actually happen due to the overconsumption of carrots.) All this tells us that dosage is everything. When you get your alcohol intake right, a review of the literature shows it can boost your overall happiness, euphoria, and pleasant, carefree feelings (1). Sounds good, right? Of course, the best way for us all to avoid that hangover feeling is to not d

Coming up - meat fruit! Heston Blumenthal and biohacking! CGMs and how they can improve your health! One of the most welcome health tech innovations of the last few years has been continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) which can help people with diabetes manage their blood sugar levels. And it turns out that the information from these nifty little monitors can help all of us start to learn the individual foods that affect us. They’re easy to use. You buy one from a company like Freestyle Libre, and attach the monitor to your arm for two weeks. It doesn’t hurt at all. Then you analyze your results with an app like Veri. Anttoni Aniebonam is the founder and CEO of Veri, and he joins me on today's podcast.   

Coming up: productivity hacks, organ meat, and biohacking in the new world. Featuring my talk with the knowledgable Charlene Gisele.

This podcast will change the way you use your phone, your desktop and your whatsapps! Email is making people miserable; it has a mind of its own and it is stopping people getting on with their working lives. Cal Newport is here to save us from that.  Cal is a celebrated author and I have three of his books here at home.  The average person checks their emails 75 times per day, for heavy users it can be 400+ times per day. The average worker sends 126 emails per day - that is one every 4 minutes - and the constant interruptions are affecting the way our ancient Paleothlithic brains work. 3 working hours per day are being lost to email - valuable hours that could be spent achieving a better work/life balance. And here are two of my pet annoyances Emails with one words: “Thoughts?” (takes a time to reply, takes no time for the sender to send) Whatsapps that say  “How are you” (again, takes time to reply, takes no time for the sender to send)  We talk about these in the podcast too. 

It's a new podcast format.  Featuring: Everybody loves the sunshine Places the sun doesn't shine (!) Vitamin D A clothing hack for more energy and performance Nickel in cookware - did you know about this? Dehydration solutions And lots more ways to energize you.

An awesome bonus episode for you today. Adell Bridges and Celest Pereira have a mission, and that is to help people feel amazing in their bodies.  You've probably heard Celest on Zestology before, but now with Adell she's created an amazing book all about 'bendy superhumans'. That's people who are hypermobile, and today's interview contains some serious bendy truth bombs. It's also the reason this is a midweek bonus episode. This content is so helpful for so many people but it might not be for everybody. So you have two episodes this week. Give this a listen, and see if you enjoy (I think you will), as Adell and Celest are fantastic company, and if you are too flexible to feel good, you'll get double the benefit from this episode. 

This podcast is epic. It's all about supplements to feel better now, and age better in the future. My guest reckons she'll live to 120, no problem. Dr. Sandy Kaufmann is the author of the new book The Kaufmann Protocol: Why We Age and How to Stop it, where she details the biological mechanisms of aging.   And in this podcast Sandy outlines in precise detail some of the 'agents' you might want to be taking to help with that.    I first got interested in this area speaking to Dr. David Sinclair and reading his book on longevity. This is on a similar track. You'll love it.    THIS SHOW IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY: COGNIBIOTICS: The breakthrough mood-enhancing formula made by BiOptimizers.

Lucy is a Madrid-based yoga teacher, a friend of mine and an inspired practitioner with a very broad approach. I love Lucy’s work so much so I went and did some yoga with her in Greece. If you want to see a picture of exactly where we stayed, I've used it as the featured image for this podcast on my website. Lockdown has been quite the experience for her, as you'll hear. She loves a silent retreat - indeed her longest is 11 days in a row saying absolutely nothing at all. I might struggle with 11 minutes.

Good relationships and energy are interlinked. You're not going to feel full of zest if things aren't good at home. And lockdown has put more of a strain on relationships than ever before, which is why I asked Stephanie Stahl to come on Zestology. Stephanie is an international Bestseller in Europe (her book has been the #1 Bestseller in Germany for the last 4 years and has sold globally 2 million copies. She's been published in 29 languages and her book is coming out in the UK. She’s been described by Psychology as ‘Germany’s psychotherapist superstar, and the savour of all people who are imperfect, beset by crises and fearful of relationships’. Her whole thing is accessing and sorting out the inner shadow child. Listen on to find out more. Today's podcast partner is the incredible Fum. FUM is a natural essential oil inhaler.

Maneesh Sethi is the mad scientist behind Pavlok- a wearable that retrains your brain.  He’s worked with major influencers like Tim Ferris, he’s a famous DJ in Berlin, and he’s even hosted a TV pilot on the Travel Channel.  Is there anything that this guy can’t do?   The Pavlok wristband was invented after Sethi stumbled upon a pamphlet of a 60’s aversion research. Sethi had severe ADHD and couldn’t focus or complete a single task or project without losing concentration. After landing the study reports, Sethi paid someone to hit him every time he strayed from the work at hand. This method proved useful and led to the invention of the first Pavlok prototype. It's just grown from there.  Today's podcast partner is CogniBiotics, the breakthrough mood-enhancing formula made by BiOptimizers.
