Eyesight Improvement (spot the 40-something whose eyes are going), Bates Method, natural alternatives to glasses. With Nathan Oxenfeld #406

He's a trainer to the Made in Chelsea stars… but he has the substance and the knowledge to back up the style. Max Lowery is a personal trainer and online health coach, and his particular area of expertise is intermittent fasting, something that can help you burn fat, boost energy levels and banish hunger pangs. He's developed his own method known as The 2 Meal Day, and it was fun to chat to him, at his base at Marble Arch in Central London.

Nike insist their new trainers improve your running speed by 4%. I was quite interested in this, especially as I've been getting involved recently in minimalist footwear. Turns out, that this 4% stat might not be all its cracked up to be. And you could get 4% exercise improvement by natural means, not by buying a flash pair of trainers. Check out today's podcast with the awesome Dr. Ray Mclanahan. And check out CorrectToes too - that stuff is GOOD!

Burning Man is on at the moment, so without being too worthy (promise) I ask, what could one festival in the desert teach us about life. What we can learn from my guest's experiences without heading to the middle of nowhere to get copious amounts of dust in our face? And how does a productivity expert apply his professional skills to festival-going, and shouldn't he be just focusing on having fun? Stever Robbins is a well-known productivity expert, and he also happens to love Burning Man. And when I say love, he plans months in advance for this thing. He's known as the get-it-done guy, and it seems he's applied his get it done guy's skills to preparing for the world's most celebrated festival.

Our favourite Law of Attraction expert is back, as seen on Oprah and as heard on Zestology (multiple times). Jeannette Maw is more fun and attracting more good vibes than ever before, after something small, unexpected, and weird happened. It led to big, big consequences and positive changes. Not surprising for the woman who describes herself as "full time manifesting geek". In this podcast you will explore; Choosing to feel good. Finding a way to feel better Expanding Consciousness (the biggie) Enjoy

Why are we obsessed with the things we want and bored when we get them? Dopamine is the chemical of desire that always asks for more — more stuff, more stimulation, and more surprises. In pursuit of these things, it is undeterred by emotion, fear, or morality. Simply put, it is why we seek and succeed; it is why we discover and prosper. Yet, at the same time, it's why we gamble and squander. Tech has a part to play with dopamine too. Daniel Z. Lieberman finds it as hard as any of us to put the dopamine-providing phone down. So he wrote a book on it... What I love: he has a potentially life-changing proposal in the book: for how we can channel our dopamine more effectively. What is it? Listen on to find out. ​

You could be 30% more attractive after listening to this podcast!   Donna Lancaster is a well-known life and relationship coach who specialises in the area of grief. Or as she puts it, she loves talking about grief. Which might sound weird, but once you hear how she helps us to properly cope with grief and loss, you'll get it.   And there is a link between grief and being 30% more attractive. Honest! Bear with me.   She used to be the head of training for The Hoffman Process and she now owns and runs The Bridge Retreat which is a personal development experience here in the UK. It's described as an emotional detox and a chance to rediscover your zest for life.    Hmm, zest... I'm sure there's a relevance to this podcast somewhere.   DISCOUNT ALERT: After the interview, Donna got back in touch and offered £250 off the six day retreat. You just need to mention ZESTOLOGY when you book.   ​

Dr. Satchin Panda is a bit of a ledge. He's possibly the world's most respected area in the field of Circadian rhythms and daily routines that optimise our health. We talk; How to stop peeing in the middle of the night! Bright light at night and eye masks. All the fun of time-restricted eating Supplements - is it okay to take them outside the feeding window. My fasting experiments (geeky I know) coffee, can we drink it as part of an intermittent fast (you might not like this bit…) saturated fat… in evening melatonin supplements what to go for. And an amazing book recommendation too. This is one of my favourites. Satchin is a real expert in his field. Enjoy. And his new book is called The Circadian Code: Lose Weight, Supercharge Your Energy, and Transform Your Health from Morning to Midnight.
