In this podcast we look at 3 tech toxins, and sort them out. TECH TOXIN 1: ADDICTION A dependency on our screens is a real and growing problem. I know this from my own addiction to looking at nonsense on my smartphone. TECH TOXIN 2:  RADIATION & BLUE LIGHT There are now more cell phones than people on earth, and every single one of them emits EMF electromagnetic radiation.  Add cell towers, WiFi,  and smart devices and we're blanketed with invisible waves.   Studies show EMF radiation has a biological impact.   TECH TOXIN 3: PRIVACY STEALERS Our personal information, where we go online and what we say or do while were there can be archived, shared or sold.

On this podcast, I receive a transformational breathwork session. We had a session and then recorded a podcast straight after. I was a bit spaced out as it was a deep experience. Richard Blake uses bio-hacking and breathwork in a combination of ancient wisdom, personal spirituality and modern science to help people to transform their lives. His studies of psychotherapy, holistic counselling, nutrition, Reiki, health coaching and functional fitness have given him a holistic understanding of people. By working on a combination of the mind, body and spirit people are able to heal without neglecting one aspect of themselves that would prevent them from realizing their potential. Richard offers 1-1 breathwork sessions along with holistic counselling for integration and advanced health coaching from Hammersmith. He's also into + 15 minutes daily on the Joovv redlight + the human charger + standing on the grounding mat + neurofeedback with the Muse Meditation headband.... And lots more… so we had plenty to discuss. Check out www.richardblake.com for more.

Are you a breakfast eater or not? There are those of us who eat breakfast and there are those who don't, but most of us feel like we should - we have had it drummed into us. That's where Celebrity Trainer (and friend of Zestology) Max Lowery comes in. Max's CV: • Creator - The 2 Meal Day • Author • Mountain Guide - @connect_retreats • Columnist - @telegraph • Ambassador - @vivobarefoot And here's what he says about skipping breakfast:  "I enjoy eating LARGE meals and feeling satisfied after eating. If I were to eat three large meals with snacks in between I would certainly be consuming more than I was burning. The 2 Meal Day has allowed me to stay lean effortlessly, all year round"

It's not often The Wolf Of Wall Street and Qualudes come up in a podcast, but they do today. Angela is the Founder and CEO of My DNA Edge, an Exclusive Private Membership Site giving individuals the tools and bio hacks needed to optimise their genetic expression for optimal health and performance. Angela really knows her stuff. If you want to get your DNA results analysed - she's your woman. And this was a thoroughly enjoyable session about all sorts of wellness practices. We veer from The Wolf Of Wall Street and Qualuudes, (don't worry, I've not been taking Qualuudes, but we did discuss Qualia.) to cutting edge apps, practices and more.

Meet CAR.O.L - your AI powered fitness bike. Get the same benefits of a 45 minute jog in 2, 20-second sprints. Sounds too good to be true - I know. So I record this episode while sitting on the Carol Exercise Bike. It uses the latest Artificial Intelligence to compress a workout into a few seconds. It sounds barely credible I know, but imagine having your workout compressed into two 20 second spurts every day.... And hear me get absolutely destroyed in those two 20 second bits! Since we recorded this podcast I've been using it quite a bit and I'm really starting to enjoy the brief, intense push, and the extra time. I'm hoping I'll see the results on my chicken legs too. Here's what the company say about their extraordinary bike. SHORT: Cuts your exercise time dramatically CAR.O.L is clinically proven to give you the same cardio benefits of a 45-minute jog with only 40 seconds of hard work.

Coming up; minimalist living and the unexpected joy of a broken laptop, getting rid of all your bills, minimalist mobile phones, alternative meditation techniques such as staring into someone's eyes for 63 minutes (!), breathwork and how sometimes it can feel like a mild stimulant, celebrating your successes and admitting to your failures, and lots more. He's back - you might have heard previous interviews with friend of the show Brett Moran recorded in Thailand. This time he was visiting London, so came to stay for the night.
