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

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.

Good relationships and energy are interlinked. You're not going to feel full of zest if things aren't good at home.

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.

Asthma and allergies are on the rise along with other ailments caused by polluted indoor air; such as headaches, dizziness, depression, respiratory infections, throat and ear infections, colds and flu. The WHO has listed air quality as the single biggest environmental threat to public health. The air we breathe is directly linked to our health. Poor quality air is consistently linked to a laundry-list of health complaints. But what about our mood and energy? If avoiding getting sick, less allergies, and improved sleep counts as managing meh, then cleaner air works. If you live on a busy road with lots of traffic, this is especially important. And while most of us think that air pollution is something that happens outside, 90% of our time is on average spent indoors. And the air we breathe inside is often even worse. It can be up to five times more polluted with mold, chemical gases, carpet fibers, dust, bacteria, viruses, pollution and toxins from overcooked food (a big one). I use an Air Angel, mainly in my
