Biohacking News by Zestology

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. 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?

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.

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.
