Biohacking a Type A personality - Angela Foster #287
I've called this podcast Biohacking a Type A Personality, as I love talking to Angela, and we are both definitely... Type A personalities. Sometimes the most effective stuff for us lot is simply slowing down and doing less, but it's easier said than done. Angela is the Founder and CEO of My DNA Edge and we started by talking about one of the least affordable, but most enjoyable and effective hacks out there. The infrared sauna. Angela and I both love the Sunlighten Sauna, and remember if you mention Zestology to the guys at Sunlighten in the UK you’ll get 200 quid off. They’d also love to chat and they’ll explain exactly what’s going on with it all.

The Perfect Diet For Your Brain - Dr. Dale Bredesen #286
He had the Number 1 book in the world for 2 days, surpassing Hillary and Oprah. He's an NYT bestseller… and I love his work. The end of Alzheimer's was groundbreaking, and Dr. Dale Bredesen has a new one out which may well change the way we think about Alzheimer's and cognitive decline forever. In this podcast we talk about the Apoe4 gene quite a bit. This is the gene that makes you more disposed to Alzheimers and I've got one variant of that gene, as do about a quarter of the population. Fasting: 14 to 16 hours? What's good? Do you allow coffee in that time? Saturated fats, and my unhealthy breakfast. Good fats and histamine intolerance. Omega 3s. What supplements? Resveratrol. Is it really that good? Heart Rate Variability Oxygen saturation And the wonders of chia seed pudding Finally, we talk about a fascinating study.... it shows that where you live is a key determinant of whether you’ll reach age 100. A recent study indicates that neighborhood walkability, socioeconomic status, and a high percentage of working age population positively correspond with longevity.

Eat Like A Dog! Mark Scott #285
CEO Mark Scott ate like a dog for one month. The results will surprise you! He runs a healthy dog food company, and wanted to see what would happen when he ate human processed food for one month, then test to see what happened when he switched back to a healthy diet (that he feeds his dogs at Bella And Duke). His company is wildly successful and this is a fun experiment, although I would not be able to eat rubbish for a month for any experiment!

Why breathing properly is essential for our health and happiness - James Nestor #283
Fresh from his hit appearance on Joe Rogan Experience, James Nestor joins me to talk breathing. Investigative writer James Nestor has written a scientific adventure into the lost art and science of breathing 90 per cent of us – very likely you, me and almost everyone you know – are breathing incorrectly - whoah - and this failure is either potentially causing or aggravating a laundry list of chronic illnesses. So we’ll look into that, and then some things that help; We should shut our mouth when breathing and why mouth-breathing is terrible We should exhale for longer We should avoid overly soft food (going against the diet advice of eating what our great grandmothers ate!) We should all engage in nose singing! We should do a spot of Mouth taping! And even, how to stop going to the loo in the middle of the night. THIS PODCAST IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY MAGNESIUM BREAKTHROUGH Most supplements contain only 1 or 2 forms of magnesium... when in reality there are at least 7 that your body needs and benefits from. That’s why I’m so excited to tell you about a new magnesium product I’ve been taking now called, Magnesium Breakthrough. It’s the ULTIMATE magnesium supplement, easily the best I’ve ever seen or experienced... with all 7 forms of this mineral. Magnesium Breakthrough has been selling faster than the company who makes it, BiOptimizers, has been able to keep up with. It’s already sold out a few times and due to supply shortages with everything going on in the world, it could very well be sold out again shortly.
