Biohacking News by Zestology

Today we devote a whole section to that most noble of causes: hacking hangovers and staying energized even when drinking alcohol (responsibly, of course). Why the title of the podcast? Listen on to find out. I am unfortunately Mr. Sensitive these days when it comes to booze. Maybe it’s an age thing. Or maybe I always was a lightweight. But just like many people, I still do want the occasional drink. You may do as well. It turns out there are some unusual, radical hacks you can employ to drink cleaner and feel better the next day. Sure, alcohol can be toxic. But so can oxygen, water and even carrots in the wrong dosage. (Some years ago, an unfortunate death did actually happen due to the overconsumption of carrots.) All this tells us that dosage is everything. When you get your alcohol intake right, a review of the literature shows it can boost your overall happiness, euphoria, and pleasant, carefree feelings (1). Sounds good, right? Of course, the best way for us all to avoid that hangover feeling is to not drink in the first place. If you’ve got some meh going on and are also drinking more than a couple of drinks a night or a couple of times a week, you need to cut it down. This is the first lifestyle change you’re going to want to make. Get specialist help if you need. Lecture over.

Coming up - meat fruit! Heston Blumenthal and biohacking! CGMs and how they can improve your health! One of the most welcome health tech innovations of the last few years has been continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) which can help people with diabetes manage their blood sugar levels. And it turns out that the information from these nifty little monitors can help all of us start to learn the individual foods that affect us. They’re easy to use. You buy one from a company like Freestyle Libre, and attach the monitor to your arm for two weeks. It doesn’t hurt at all. Then you analyze your results with an app like Veri. Anttoni Aniebonam is the founder and CEO of Veri, and he joins me on today's podcast.

This podcast will change the way you use your phone, your desktop and your whatsapps! Email is making people miserable; it has a mind of its own and it is stopping people getting on with their working lives. Cal Newport is here to save us from that.  Cal is a celebrated author and I have three of his books here at home.  The average person checks their emails 75 times per day, for heavy users it can be 400+ times per day. The average worker sends 126 emails per day - that is one every 4 minutes - and the constant interruptions are affecting the way our ancient Paleothlithic brains work. 3 working hours per day are being lost to email - valuable hours that could be spent achieving a better work/life balance. And here are two of my pet annoyances Emails with one words: “Thoughts?” (takes a time to reply, takes no time for the sender to send) Whatsapps that say  “How are you” (again, takes time to reply, takes no time for the sender to send)  We talk about these in the podcast too.

An awesome bonus episode for you today. Adell Bridges and Celest Pereira have a mission, and that is to help people feel amazing in their bodies.  You've probably heard Celest on Zestology before, but now with Adell she's created an amazing book all about 'bendy superhumans'. That's people who are hypermobile, and today's interview contains some serious bendy truth bombs. It's also the reason this is a midweek bonus episode. This content is so helpful for so many people but it might not be for everybody. So you have two episodes this week. Give this a listen, and see if you enjoy (I think you will), as Adell and Celest are fantastic company, and if you are too flexible to feel good, you'll get double the benefit from this episode.

This podcast is epic. It's all about supplements to feel better now, and age better in the future. My guest reckons she'll live to 120, no problem. Dr. Sandy Kaufmann is the author of the new book The Kaufmann Protocol: Why We Age and How to Stop it, where she details the biological mechanisms of aging.   And in this podcast Sandy outlines in precise detail some of the 'agents' you might want to be taking to help with that.    I first got interested in this area speaking to Dr. David Sinclair and reading his book on longevity. This is on a similar track. You'll love it.    THIS SHOW IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY: COGNIBIOTICS: The breakthrough mood-enhancing formula made by BiOptimizers.

Lucy is a Madrid-based yoga teacher, a friend of mine and an inspired practitioner with a very broad approach. I love Lucy’s work so much so I went and did some yoga with her in Greece. If you want to see a picture of exactly where we stayed, I've used it as the featured image for this podcast on my website. Lockdown has been quite the experience for her, as you'll hear. She loves a silent retreat - indeed her longest is 11 days in a row saying absolutely nothing at all. I might struggle with 11 minutes.
