Happiness, integrity, and getting wild turkeys to meditate - Martha Beck #159

Next time on Zestology: Sinitta has 14 international hit singles. Yep, I was singing along to her music in the 80s. She is a mentor on The X Factor and she now makes her own fitness videos. But one of the best moments in our chat - I thought - was when she told the long and painful story of how she realised she "wasn't famous any more", and how she dealt with some serious ups and downs.

Why is it important to take risks, and how can we take more risks and get outside our comfort zone? Science journalist and writer Kayt Sukel has no problem tackling interesting (and often taboo) subjects spanning love, sex, neuroscience, travel and politics. In fact, she's so dedicated to the cause that in the writing of her last book, she had an orgasm in an MRI scanner for a Guardian article. (I won't put the link, I'm sure you can google that one yourself). Her work has appeared in the Atlantic Monthly, the New Scientist, USA Today, the Washington Post and many others. And now, she's tackling risk.

The Law of Attraction just sounds a little too good to be true. Think about something enough and it will happen. It just sounds so... convenient. Law of Attraction coach Jeannette Maw decided it would be awesome to appear on Oprah to talk about what she does. So, she used the Law of Attraction and the next thing she knew, she was appearing on national TV. Wow. How did she do it, and how can we do it too?  The Law of Attraction. Does it work?  Jeannette is a Master Certified Coach and founder of Good Vibe University. She describes herself as a full time manifesting geek on a mission to inspire conscious creators.

Have you heard of dutch daredevil "The Iceman", Wim Hof, yet? If not, you have a treat in store in this week's podcast. I first saw him speak in California last year. This guy is incredible. He holds 20 world records, including a world record for longest ice bath. Wim has shown what the human body is capable of once you find the flow within your physical and mental state. He describes his ability to withstand extreme cold temperatures as being able to "turn his own thermostat up" by using his mind through yoga. He climbed to 6.7 kilometres (22,000 ft) altitude at Mount Everest wearing nothing but shorts and shoes. I know! And he completed a full marathon above the arctic circle in Finland, in temperatures close to −20 °C (−4 °F). Dressed in nothing but shorts, Hof finished in 5 hours and 25 minutes.  Listen to today's podcast for the opportunity to reach out and do more than what you thought you were capable of.  Through the right training and exercises, you can strengthen your inner nature and prevent disease.
