Biohacking News by Zestology

In these tough times, we are getting to spend a lot of time at home with just our family and our thoughts for company. So today; Improve  your Sleep, Attention, Nutrition, and Stress Response for a Better Brain.  Dr. Hill is a world neurofeedback expert and a great resource for topics like biohacking, healthy brain aging, addiction, nutrition, nootropics, ADHD, autism, mindfulness, meditation, etc.  He's been a guest on several popular podcasts such as the Dr. Drew Podcast, Ben Greenfield, Joe Rogan and Bulletproof Radio.  He’s famous for his Neurofeedback labs and we get to that, but I started by asking him about the cheaper ways, the instant actionable ways we can improve our brain plasticity and performance. THIS EPISODE IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY: BiOptimizers, a company that have made it their mission to heal our guts. I’m getting in some industry-leading supplements at the moment. Yes, just call me the gut-health guinea pig, trying their stuff out and making my digestion like new. Want to join me?

How's your lockdown going? Finding it hard to stop raiding the treats cupboard? Yep, me too. So today, we focus on. The integrity of one’s diet. The impact of too many sugary treats on your immune system (oh dear!) Preventative strategies to stay healthy. Could intermittent fasting help during lockdown? The joy of carbs! The quality of one’s news sources. The people you follow who will give you good information. We recorded this since the pandemic took hold, and the importance of diet can’t be understated. So I'm joined by the Ketologist, Chris Irvin - spoiler, he may be "The Ketologist" but he's not all about keto.    

Dr. Steve is one of my best friends and a regular guest. He's in the unique position of being a medical doctor for 30 years, and more recently a specialist on high performance, mental game and dealing with stress. So extremely relevant at this particular time. In this podcast we talk concentrating on our mission in tough times, dealing with fear and anxiety (and why they're not the same), switching off and loads more. Enjoy.

As you know, I've been considering setting up a free Book Club. And here it is. Books feature a lot on the podcast so maybe it is a good idea at this time. We are all desperately in need of switching off the news (if just for 20 minutes) and escaping.  So in this podcast I launch our first book. The idea is we all read it together, and then... uh, well I'm kind of making it up as I go along, as you'll hear in the podcast.

On today's podcast, find out what's in my freezer, and other more important lockdown issues. Yes, we are talking... drumroll, lockdown tactics, how to deal with coronavirus from a physical, mental and emotional perspective. So how are you getting on with all this?  I do hope you are keeping safe and well. On the subject of keeping well, Beth O’Hara is a Functional Naturopath and Functional Genetic Analyst and specialises in working with clients with Histamine Intolerance and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (and you probably know about my interest in histamine issues). She has a Doctorate in Naturopathy specialising in Functional Naturopathic Approaches and is the perfect person to talk to in these strange times. We talk in general terms about immunity, breathing techniques, supplements and tips, and also a bit more in depth about allergies, histamine intolerance and mast cell activation syndrome too.

On this coronavirus focused podcast we look at anything and everything we can do to improve our health and immune system. Including; Functional medicine treatments, and commonly available supplements that science may show helps. Pharmaceutical approaches that doctors and governments may pursue First a disclaimer at the start… please don’t start any new regime without consulting your medical practitioner. If you think you are suffering from coronavirus you must get the appropriate medical advice, as Dr Cook advocates a number of times in this podcast. Dr. Matt Cook runs a functional medicine clinic called BioReset Medical, and is one of the world’s top experts in the area of natural health and immunity. I first found out about him from Ben Greenfield and Dave Asprey. He has spent the past several weeks distilling the latest coronavirus research, talking with experts around the world and integrating his vast clinical experience to provide up to date information to the public and medical practitioners.  As you’ll hear, he’s reading every available study every day, and he’s changing his approach based on the science daily too. To reiterate, if you get ill, he is absolutely not saying take matters into your own hands. You must get proper medical treatment, but he does say there are things you can do to boost your immunity. Please stay safe and healthy.

As the coronavirus pandemic continues to escalate, Dr. Jeff Rediger is the person to talk to. I felt considerably better after talking to him for 40 minutes, and I hope you feel better after listening too. Jeffrey Rediger, M.D., is medical director for the McLean SouthEast Adult Psychiatric Programs and an instructor in psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. He publishes in the fields of medicine, psychiatry and spirituality. His work has been featured on the Oprah and Dr. Oz shows, among others.

The uncertainty, the anxiety and the health implications of coronavirus are weighing heavily on our minds as the disruption continues to impact on all areas of our lives. Breathwork expert Richard Blake and I just recorded this, and look at the worrying aspects of this virus, and how we can best deal with the anxiety around coronavirus and look after ourselves at this strange and uncertain time. This podcast is all about energy, so how do we protect our energy fields at this time? Loaded with some practical suggestions you can do today, especially if you are stuck at home.

I start today's podcast with my thoughts on coronavirus. It's an unusually sober start to proceedings as I know many of you are anxious about what is occurring across the world.  Whilst I certainly wouldn't offer any health advice on coronavirus, I've talked in the podcast where I've been going for information and what's been on my mind. Then we turn our attention to immunity - something we are all keen to boost at the moment. Let's be honest, sorting out the gut is the key. It's THE thing, but it’s really hard to know where to start. It's very hard to get the right advice. Today's guest can help. Wade Lightheart. Wade is a 3-time former Canadian All-Natural Bodybuilding champion, and then he went on to found a company called BiOptimizers that specialises in digestive health. Oh he's also an advisor to the American Anti-Cancer Institute. The company's called BiOptimzers and so let's do some bioptimzing. He’s been in the health industry for over 25 years, coached thousands of clients, and is sought out by athletes and high-performance oriented individuals worldwide for his advice on how to optimize their health.  For more, head to http://www.bioptimizers.com/zestology and use the code ZESTOLOGY10 for 10% off.

Well here it is, let's get cracking with a spot of anti-ageing, super-relaxing, detoxifying, sleep-helping, pain-relieving sauna action. Today's podcast is an experiment. Can I make any sense at all after sitting in a Sunlighten Infrared Sauna for 40 minutes? And can my guest Joie Risk? We'll find out. You've heard me talk about my partners Sunlighten for a while now, and I've been threatening to record a podcast in the sauna haven't I. It's finally time. Do the microphones melt? Do we?
