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

Covering healthy living, a natural way of life, and triumphing over adversity. He's the former Days of our Lives actor, Model and Skincare specialist who's founded Alitura, the skincare company. Why triumphing over adversity? Well, after a dreadful accident, a skincare specialist said to him: "You have the worst facial injury I have ever seen" What we put on our skin, really does go in. So it's time to look at that. He's used natural products to help his skin and face recover, and I have become good friends with Andy. I started by asking, why's it so important to have natural stuff on our skin?

The idea behind this podcast is you will potentially sleep longer, definitely sleep deeper and better and be more well refreshed the next day. How's that for aiming high? I think we can do this. Nick Littlehales is a world renowned Elite Sport Sleep Coach, has been redefining and innovating a new human sleep approach or as he describes it mental and physical recovery, for over 22 years. In this podcast he talks about the myth of 8 hours sleep. He's big into working with sports stars, and as you'll hear has worked all around with the world with some of the most famous athletes, including with the world's best footballer according to many - Cristiano Ronaldo. I'm sure you know who he is. Nick's helped him sleep better. In fact, he works with many finely-honed athletes and during this interview I asked Nick to think of me as one them. Which is very much wishful thinking. I started by asking him about the myth of 8 hours sleep.

Master meditator, author, and globetrotter. Brett Moran is back - and he's had a rollercoaster year. A disastrous project in Thailand that didn't work - you'll hear all about that. A brilliant project that did work. And what's being naked or nude in a field got to do with anything. All is revealed as the podcast goes on, honest! We covered Brett's story the first time we chatted on Zestology, but basically, at young age he got in with the wrong crowd: experimenting with drugs and in trouble with the law. He quickly progressed and started dealing drugs to friends, which seemed like harmless fun. By the time he was 18, he was addicted to crack, boozing every day and fighting on the weekends. Brett felt lost and suicidal and at 21, after his daughter was born, Brett was sentenced to HMP Highdown prison. Prison, he says, was the best thing that ever happened him. And he sees his adversity as a blessing in disguise. Brett woke-up inside prison after reading a book on mindfulness and meditation. Since his experience, Brett's been meditating, visualizing and manifesting the exact life he desires. Remember to check out Brett's tribe and retreats here https://www.brettsyoga.com/

You'll know the answer by the end of this podcast, and you'll know what to do about it. Linda Stone coined the phrase continuous partial attention. Stone also coined "email apnea" which means "a temporary absence or suspension of breathing, or shallow breathing, while doing email." And it's all the more interesting because she has a real tech background… at a very high level. She was at Apple, in the early early early days. She was a Microsoft Vice President. And then she became a celebrated thinker and writer about the world we live in. You'll be fascinated by her stories of working at Apple. And you'll love her dinner party tactics… which I'm definitely going to be using.

Renowned addiction expert, speaker and author Dr. Gabor Maté is famous for his expertise on trauma, addiction, stress and childhood development. I went to see him speak in London at an absolutely packed out venue in Notting Hill. And then went to interview him at the offices of Penguin and Random House the next day. Coincidentally this is where my publisher Virgin Books is, though I haven't been there for about 8 years though. In this podcast we talk Addiction and addictive behaviour. How to live a more conscious life Parenting styles. Technology and how to use it mindfully. And lots, lots more. The day before this recording, Gabor was interviewed by Russell Brand, and had travelled to Russell's house for the interview. I joked with Gabor that if I get a few more listeners he'll come to my house but until then I'm happy to meet him anytime for a chat at Penguin's offices. I hope you enjoy this one. I feel privileged to have met Gabor.

Or... Why you should never put your phone in your pocket (part 2) Today: EMF and tech dangers explained in depth. How many times do you check your phone per day? Since Apple brought out iOS12, I know now, and it's fairly shocking - about 70 per day. And I thought I was good at this stuff. And the negative effects of smartphone and technology extend beyond distraction - perhaps we should be worrying a lot more about EMFs. Daniel DeBaun is the man - and comes back to Zestology again to helps us know what to do

Yes, Jason Wittrock is another Zestology guest that puts butter in his coffee. He's #keto - hmmm, there's a theme here isn't there. Actually, some guests really surprise me on Zestology.  I already knew Jason Wittrock really knew his stuff about ketosis, the high fat low carb diet that gives you more energy, helps with inflammation and a host of other things (Disclaimer, check with your health practitioner before starting on this). But I didn't know how much fun Jason would be, and how much energy he'd have. It's infectious, and he's great. Enjoy!

Slightly embarrassingly last time I had today's guest on my show, I got his name wrong. It's supposed to be Drew Canol-ee, but I called him Drew Canole (as in Sausage Role). Bearing in mind how well known he is in the States, I probably should have known this. Drew Canol-ee. He's a proper famous juice expert, regular guest on top tv shows, has one of the biggest organic green powder companies in the world…, he is in a nutshell, juicing up the world. Now got his new book out this week - You Be You - available everywhere. In this podcast we talk juicing, obviously, but we also talk meditation, jumping in the sea every day, the best ways to chill out when life get stressful. Then things start to get a bit crazy. We talk lucid dreaming, astral projection, going to different dimensions, it all starts to get a bit trippy. And Drew can get away with it because he really knows his stuff. In a nutshell, he's fantastic, and I hope this podcast helps juice you up and inspire you.
