Oxygen - Dr. Rob Pender and Tim Gray #114
On today's podcast - how to feel like you've just downed a quadruple espresso with none of the downsides. That's how it feels after some oxygen therapy you'll hear me roadtesting today. Specifically, I have two real experts in the field of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. Eh? What's that? It's a pretty cool way to feel unbelievably great, quickly. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy helps patients suffering from sports injuries, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, infections, arthritis and a huge range of other medical conditions. HBOT is also used by biohackers because of the real benefits for our general health and wellness too. You're basically breathing the purest oxygen possible in a tank. I've been filming videos inside the tank over on my facebook page too. Get the quadruple espressos in! Enjoy.

Zestology Q&A - Dr. Stephen Simpson #112
We have a new format. It's the Zestology Q and A. Let me know if you like it and think it works - I'd genuinely appreciate your feedback as I'd like to know if this idea is a good one in future. Dr. Stephen Simpson is one of my regular Zestology guests. He works with top professional poker players such as Chris Moorman and Liv Boeree on helping them achieve their potential in every area of your life. Today's podcast is Dr. Steve and me answering your questions. Thank you for posting them, remember to let me know what you think, and if you have any questions for future episodes that's cool too... Dr. Stephen Simpson is an Elite Performance Coach, medical doctor, and NLP expert. Enjoy the podcast - it also contains details on the one supplement that's made a big impact for me recently and why. It's called CBS/BHMT Assist (I know - doesn't exactly sound exciting but it is honest!)

No hangover - Todd White #111
Coming up: The best way to prevent a hangover Why meditation works so well When the law of attraction and natural wine collide! If you drink alcohol, listening to this podcast may change your hangovers forever. I do - moderately, and my hangovers have got steadily worse over the years. I even staretd to feel like I was getting a hangover during drinking. Until Dave Asprey introduced me to Todd White. Todd runs America's largest natural wine company Dry Farm Wines, and it turns out much of what makes us feel bad is the preservatives put in alcohol. Take them out, and you might start to feel considerably better. Todd came over to my place and we recorded this podcast on wine, meditation (this is my fave bit of the podcast), and more. Listen to this before your next glass of something nice.)

Body Language - Elizabeth Kunhke #110
Body Language expert Elizabeth Kunhke gave me a fantastic interview. She's so much fun. Ever wondered about Donald Trump's body language? What about the body language differences between him and Vladimir Putin? And how on earth can you communicate non-verbally to get what you want? Elizabeth wrote the huge global best-seller Body Language for Dummies, so she knows a thing or two about this topic. If you enjoy the podcast, I'd be grateful if you might consider forwarding it to a friend who'd get something out of it too, and assure them that there are not normally in-depth analyses of Donald Trump's hands! Thanks and have a great week.

BONUS EPISODE: Fitness - Ben Coomber #109
Ben Coomber and I go in depth into health, fitness, stress and cortisol, how to test for this (and whether it's absolutely necessary to test in the first place.) He's got loads of passion and is a brilliant guest. Ben is one of the UK's top personal trainers and nutritionists and he's also got his own supplement range called Awesome Supplements. He's also a top bloke. One of the best parts of this podcast is why Ben wouldn't recommend his own supplements! I've released this as a special bonus episode as I wanted to get this to you quickly. I hope you enjoy. Oh. And you'll hear why eating Cheerios isn't necessarily a good idea.

Sleep - James Swanwick #108
James Swanwick specialises in sleep gadgets, helping us to get to sleep, sleep deeper and importantly the really annoying bit of getting back to sleep when you wake up in the middle of the night and then are wide awake. So today: How to protect yourself from blue light in the evenings and revolutionise your sleep and health, and do it whilst looking (relatively) cool at the same time! James also talks about energy, clarity, and reads a book a day. What! How? James and I have got a scary amount in common so there was plenty to chat about. James Swanwick presents his own podcast - The James Swanwick Show and you can check out all his sleep stuff at swanwicksleep.com.

Relationships - Dr.Robert Glover #107
Relationships, setting boundaries, and living with integrity This week on Zestology I speak to an extraordinary author - Dr. Robert Glover. He's simply awesome on relationships, setting boundaries, and living with integrity. I contacted him because I admire his work, and I'm pleased he came on the show. He's a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and wrote the cult classic No More Mr Nice Guy.

EMF dangers - Daniel DeBaun #106
Trust me. You REALLY need to listen to this podcast. Coming up. Why we need to worry about EMFs Protect yourself from cancer Do laptops have a significant impact on fertility? Protecting your sensitive areas! I've been trying to set this interview up for 9 months, and I'm so excited it's finally happened. I genuinely think it's one of the most important Zestology podcasts I've recorded. Daniel is a leader in shielding electronic emissions and protecting our bodies from potentially harmful radiation. He's spent his career as a technical expert in telecommunications, and now is highly focused on the electromagnetic field (EMF) radiation exposures from electronic devices. Basically, he knows his stuff. And that stuff is pretty worrying. So listen on, and do me a favour - don't put that phone in your pocket anymore. (Unless it is in airport mode).

Tapping - Ashley Meyer #105
How Tapping and Emotional Freedom Therapy can help you. And how it helped me. On this episode: How the crazy concept of tapping on various parts of the face and body is becoming more and more popular. Is this the most important podcast I've ever recorded? How "Tapping" helped me I've been meaning to record a podcast with Ashley Meyer of the Energy Therapy Centre for a long time. But as you'll here in today's podcast, I haven't quite felt ready until now. That's because I've worked with Ashley for quite a few years, with genuinely incredible results, and it felt quite private to bring it into the podcast. But now - who cares - I just want you to know about the potential of EFT or 'tapping' as well. Obviously it's not for everyone (see diagram below), and I get that straightaway it looks kind of weird. So bear with me. It's no exaggeration to say that when I took 3 months off work because of illness, this, and Ashley, were the things more than anything else that helped me get back to health. That's why I think this might be the most important podcast I've ever recorded. You can listen on iTunes, Spotify and on the website.
