Spermidine - a "Miracle Anti-Ageing Compound"? Or just the best-named supplement ever? With Don Moxley #404

First up, I've been spending plenty of time out in nature this summer - trying to get a bit more primal. I walked up Snowdon (the highest mountain in England and Wales) a couple of weeks ago. So many of my Zestology podcast guests talk about the importance of getting back to nature, and being a bit more primal. Having climbed Snowdon I felt the same thing. Especially with emojis to help me on my way. This week's Zestology was also recorded outside, with Ayurveda expert Natalie Roper. Thousands of years before modern medicine provided scientific evidence for the mind-body connection, the sages of India developed Ayurveda. Which it turns out can massively sort you out. Listen to the podcast for more, or for a quick link, take this 'What's Your Dosha' test now. This was a lovely podcast to record - getting slightly sunburnt at Yoga Connects Festival outside, even if I'm not sure about the ghee fast Natalie was talking about.

Over the last couple of weeks I've been to a couple of festivals in the West Country. The Tolpuddle Festival in Dorset, (shaking Jeremy Corbyn's hand possibly the highlight of that one.) And Yoga Connects festival in Glastonbury, where I was also speaking. It was my third time there, and it lived up to the other two - what an awesome weekend of fun, exercise and a few drinks too. I bumped into this fella, someone I've been meaning to interview for a long time, if only I could get hold of him for more than 5 minutes! Overcoming adversity Author Brett Moran has lived an incredible life of ups and downs. Brett's life changed forever when serving time because of a drug deal. He found himself in the prison library and stumbled across a book on meditation. The story is quite something - and it's all in the podcast. In a nutshell, listen to this podcast to find more love, joy and happiness through simple gratitude practices and living more authentically. He really does live in the present. I'm inspired to do that more after hanging out with him. Simple!

It's Q and A time and all these topics are discussed. Different meditation techniques. Squatty potties  Carl Jung's collective unconscious Ketonix breath meters The best water filters money can buy The benefits of hypnosis My new podcast idea for Fridays (please let me know your feedback on this) And many more vitality-related bits and pieces. Okay, you're totally wondering what a Squatty Potty is now aren't you. Check it out - apparently it's a way to, er, get more primal when you go to the toilet. Our ancestors squatted for centuries before the invention of the modern day toilet. In fact, the majority of the world's population still squats today! So it's perhaps not as weird as it sounds. Dr. Stephen Simpson is one of my regular Zestology guests and good friends. He is an Elite Performance Coach, and works with top professional poker players such as Chris Moorman and Liv Boeree on helping them achieve their potential in every area of their lives. Today's podcast is Dr. Steve and me answering your questions. Thank you for posting them, remember to let me know what you think, and if you have any questions for future episodes that's cool too...

Are you ready for a Brain Boost? That's the name of my friend Karl's new podcast. When I spoke to my friend Karl Morris on Zestology a while back, it got a big response. He's a leading performance coach in the world of sport and kind of a big deal (though he'd be far too modest to admit that himself). This time, he's now started a podcast himself and it's been fun chatting to him about his ideas for it. I know he'll be a huge success in the podcast world because he's so damn good at what he does, and I was honoured to be interviewed by him on his new show. So here, with kind permission of Karl, is the interview we recorded. Enjoy (and remember this link is a special day early link). And if you like Karl, you can listen to more of him on Zestology on episodes 5 and 83.

I'm not going to lie, sometimes I worry about getting older. Do you? Laura Coe is an entrepreneur, podcast host, philosophy lover and certified life coach. She's a brilliant podcast guest, because she tells us in simple terms how age is just a number, and there's no need to worry about it. Hmm, sounds good. The podcast is all about energy, and feeling good as you get older is all part of that, I reckon. As you'll hear I'm sceptical... but I'm happy to admit Laura is good So who is this Laura Coe?  She had a high-powered corporate career, and when I say high-powered, she was right at the top. But then something dramatic happened, and everything changed. You'll hear about that too. Laura's a repeat Zestology guest - because I know people enjoyed listening last time.

Okay lifehackers and energy seekers, you'll enjoy this one. Coming up: Lots of productivity hacks you've never thought of before.

I guess the best way to describe him is - lifehacker. And he has invented the device below. Listen in for more.

It's fascinating to study daily rituals of successful people. And that's one of the main themes in this podcast. Jaret Grossman is one of those sickening individuals who seems to be good at everything! And one of the reasons I loved this podcast is we violently disagreed on the subject of daily rituals.   He's the co-founder of Muscle Prodigy - a company that has built a huuge following online. And he's a 3x All American Wrestler.   Here's the kind of stuff he talks about.    - Discover Your Life Purpose  - Learn How to TAKE BACK Control of Your Mind  - Become an Emotional Jedi and Master Your Emotions Rather than Allow Them to Master You  - Find Out How to Do MORE with Less Time  - Understand the Crucial Elements to Building a Successful Brand  - Foster Deep and Impactful Relationships   - Be Able to Influence People's Behavior and Decisions for the Greater Good  - Earn Money in Multiple Ways and at Elevated Heights   .... and of course, DAILY RITUALS!   Enjoy the show.

Energy, creativity, music and motivation, and how these themes all tie together. Jono Grant is one of the world's top DJs. He and I had a caffeine-fuelled chat on music and creativity, and how he gets into the creative vibe. Above and Beyond are obviously a massive worldwide success and he also talks about the biggest gig he ever played - in front of 1 million people in Rio. He's also responsible for the music that you hear at the start of the podcast. We recorded this as part of a special Spotify series on music. If you'd like to listen to the full series head over to Zestology on Spotify. One more thing - listen out for the end of the podcast where I'm recording at the famous Morning Gloryville party.
