I'm not spiritual. Should I be? It's a dilemma. I feel connected to the world, to others, perhaps even to a higher purpose. But I struggle to describe myself as spiritual. Maybe Martina Coogan could help. Do we need to be spiritual to live a good life? Is it even worth thinking about such higher concepts? Martina Coogan runs the Modern Mystery School here in London. They run huge seminars and workshops all focused on spiritual awareness and personal empowerment. She has taught in Ireland, England, Sweden, Turkey, USA, Canada, Singapore, South Africa and the Middle East. Over the years, through her healings and teachings, Martina has enabled many people to rediscover and remember their true selves. She has reignited the spark within many, and empowered them to live their lives with love and joy, striving to achieve their highest and truest potential.  

It's another ZestHacks episode, featuring the world’s cleanest vodka, an update on the Footpads we spoke about last week, zero drop footwear that my feet love (this is an ongoing quest), the top clean sunscreen, a great way to cook healthy with my top gadget currently, and an eco-friendly clothing brand we love. Starting with the vodka. The idea is that the less impurities in an alcohol, the less likely you are to react to it. In other words, the less likely it is to give you a stinking hangover. And I am unfortunately Mr Sensitive these days when it comes to booze. But I might have cracked it with my new fave voddie. Listen on to find out more.

Health hacks, biohacks and life hacks coming up including: Footpads that draw the toxins out of your feet, and the amazing story around this. Amber necklaces and the history and power behind them (i am sceptical of these!) Meditation and how it dramatically reduces your pulse rate What happens when poker players don't trust their instinct? And lots more. As always it was brilliant to chat with friend of the show Dr. Stephen Simpson.

The best-selling author Melissa Ambrosini, a well-known meditation teacher, as well as a nutrition expert joins me on Zestology, and would it be wrong to call her a lifestyle guru? She is, she’s extraordinarily successful and you may well have heard of her. She’s written a book on relationships which is called Open Wide: A Radically Real Guide to Deep Love, Rocking Relationships, and Soulful Sex… not asking much then! And it’s been extraordinarily popular. So we get on to that, and also we talk; Getting back to nature. Living in the place that makes you happiest and creating your own reality. We discuss Louise Hay and how it messes with your head when you feel rubbish physically, and what’s going on in the mind is helping to cause those physical symptoms. Acuenergetics (yup I'd never heard of it either) meditation teacher. It’s a general chat, I enjoyed chatting to Melissa, this isn’t one of those podcasts when we dig deep into diet, or supplements, or biohacking, it’s more lifestyle tweaks, and stories for more energy, and more motivated relationships and life.

Holy shiitake! It's a special biohacking episode today. Biohacking is getting the best out of your body and life by adapting your environment, lifestyle and diet. I've been into it for a while though not always calling it biohacking. Biohacking is a weird phrase for some, so if you rather, you could just call it optimising your mind and body. Sometimes biohacking involves gadgets and tech, sometimes it involves using supplements, sometimes it involves getting back to a more primal state. Sometimes it involves gadgets, tech and supplements to help you get back to or mimic a more primal natural state.  Yes, yes, I know you just want to get to the shiitake, and trust me it's a great hack. We'll look at who invented biohacking, and mainly hear from the experts.  Have an open mind, and play around with some of the techniques and tools in this podcast. You’ll find supplements, gadgets, practices and lots more, so go ahead and start biohacking.

One of the most popular pages on my website for a while has been the hacks page. This podcast is a podcast version of that. I'm considering it as a regular feature, but I'm not sure yet. What do you think? A regular Zest update on what I've been up to, what is making the news, what is popular, what seems to be working for people? For instance - there's a new hay fever product which seems to be really capturing people's imagination. I've been trying it, others I know have been trying it, and it'd be great to have a regular podcast like this to let you know about it. But maybe not. Let me know what you think. Today's hacks: Yolife Pycognecol  Histaminx Quercetin  Low Histamine diet Wellness festivals You can find a list of some of my best hacks here, hacks, products and tweaks.
