Episodes

  • Healthy living, natural skin, and being primal. (Plus why real men use clay masks) - Andy Hnilo #198

    10/12/2018 Duration: 38min

    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 myth of 8 hours sleep. Sleep expert Nick Littlehales #197

    03/12/2018 Duration: 35min

    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.

  • Naked in a field - Brett Moran #196

    26/11/2018 Duration: 27min

    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 experien

  • Are you suffering from Continuous Partial Attention? Linda Stone #195

    19/11/2018 Duration: 44min

    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.

  • Dr Gabor Maté on addiction, consciousness, parenting and technology #194

    12/11/2018 Duration: 51min

    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.

  • Are mobile phones and EMFs really bad for your health? Dr Daniel DeBaun #193

    05/11/2018 Duration: 42min

    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  

  • Model body (and model mind). Featuring Keto expertise from Jason Wittrock #192

    29/10/2018 Duration: 38min

    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!

  • Juice me up (and inspire me too) - Drew Canole #191

    22/10/2018 Duration: 32min

    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. 

  • Intermittent fasting, low-carb benefits, and fasting teas - Dr. Jason Fung #190

    15/10/2018 Duration: 39min

    Are you extending the gap a little bit these days between dinner and breakfast? Or lunch? If not, you might want to consider it, as the evidence is starting to mount up. Obviously this has been quite a zesty topic for a while. I interviewed Max Lowery a few weeks ago, and now I've gone full science. Dr. Jason Fung is a legend when it comes to intermittent fasting, low-carb diets and so on. He’s a world-leading expert on intermittent fasting and low carb, especially for treating people with type 2 diabetes.  He's got a hardcore scientific background, and has written perhaps the bible on intermittent fasting. In this podcast we talk about the benefits, and pitfalls of intermittent fasting. I go through some of my experiences and Jason tells us his. Plus... a tea that helps you fast, anyone? Pique teas can help. This is the tea that can help with intermittent fasting, (and it's also a special discount link for Zestology subscribers). I'm an intermittent faster as you know, and I'm enjoying this stuff.

  • Tony Robbins does it, Jennifer Aniston does it, Professor Green does it. And me and Ryan Carter do it. #189

    08/10/2018 Duration: 35min

    Tony Robbins does it, Jennifer Aniston does it, Professor Green does it. And me and Ryan Carter do it. #189 You probably saw Mark Wahlberg's viral description of his working day a couple of weeks ago. A 2.30am start, mega-workouts and cryotherapy. In honour of this completely bonkers schedule, I met up with my mate, health influencer Ryan Carter to record a podcast whilst doing the cryotherapy part of Mark Wahlberg's daily routine. I can assure you, no 2.30am starts occured in the making of this podcast. The thing is, Mark Wahlberg's not the only one... there are a lot of interesting people who do this stuff; Tony Robbins, Joe Rogan, Jennifer Aniston, and as you'll hear in this podcast, Professor Green was at the Cryo clinic while we were recording. We recorded it at the wonderful London Cryo. If you mention Zestology, you'll get ££ off. On that particular day, I was feeling quite low energy, and it was quite surprising the 3-minute cryo session picked me up. See if you can spot the before and after differenc

  • Is this proof that meditation actually works? Ariel Garten #188

    01/10/2018 Duration: 40min

    Ariel Garten is a Canadian artist and scientist. That's a pretty unusual combination and gives her a unique insight into the powers of meditation. She's a neuroscience expert and in this podcast, gave what I thought was probably the best description of why we need meditation that I've ever heard. Listen on to the end of the podcast for this. It'll blow your socks off. Ariel's also has a company - Muse meditation devices that help make meditation easy, and you can find them here.

  • 39 biohacks - Ben Greenfield #187

    24/09/2018 Duration: 34min

    Have you ever heard the word biohacker, and not really known what it means? Okay, here's my definition. Biohacking = optimising mind, body and lifestyle to perform at your best. That's what I'm coming up with anyway. Whether you call it biohacking or something else, today's podcast is all about optimising with one of the world's top biohackers. Ben Greenfield. I saw Ben speak in Austin earlier this year and left with a long list of action points, things to do and buy. Ben was named as one of the world’s top 100 most influential people in health and fitness, and has coached the world's top CEO’s, chefs, biohackers, poker players, tennis, motocross and endurance competitors, and professional athletes from the UFC, the NHL, the NBA, the NFL and beyond – all while advising and investing in top companies in the health, fitness and nutrition industry. Ben is a brilliant, and as you’ll hear, very unique individual. Will you do everything he recommends? Almost certainly not. You might think some of it is a little ext

  • Bye Bye Breakfast. Why 2 meals a day is the new 3 - Max Lowery #186

    17/09/2018 Duration: 39min

    He's a trainer to the Made in Chelsea stars… but he has the substance and the knowledge to back up the style. Max Lowery is a personal trainer and online health coach, and his particular area of expertise is intermittent fasting, something that can help you burn fat, boost energy levels and banish hunger pangs. He's developed his own method known as The 2 Meal Day, and it was fun to chat to him, at his base at Marble Arch in Central London.

  • Moving better, feeling healthier, and sorting your dodgy back/knee/hip out - Dr. Ray Mclanahan #185

    10/09/2018 Duration: 38min

    Nike insist their new trainers improve your running speed by 4%. I was quite interested in this, especially as I've been getting involved recently in minimalist footwear. Turns out, that this 4% stat might not be all its cracked up to be. And you could get 4% exercise improvement by natural means, not by buying a flash pair of trainers. Check out today's podcast with the awesome Dr. Ray Mclanahan. And check out CorrectToes too - that stuff is GOOD!

  • 93% of our time is spent doing what? Good light vibes with Scott Nelson #184

    03/09/2018 Duration: 46min

    We start today with a stat that may blow your mind. Ever since Scott Nelson from Joovv told me this, I've been changing my daily routine quite considerably. Listen on to find out what it is. Scott owns Joovv - the company that makes the infrared light I use most days - bonkers good for energy, skin health etc and the brightest thing you’ve ever seen in your life. He knows all about light, and the importance of getting plenty of good light.

  • Burning Man life lessons, good times and dust storms - Stever Robbins #183

    27/08/2018 Duration: 44min

      Burning Man is on at the moment, so without being too worthy (promise) I ask, what could one festival in the desert teach us about life. What we can learn from my guest's experiences without heading to the middle of nowhere to get copious amounts of dust in our face? And how does a productivity expert apply his professional skills to festival-going, and shouldn't he be just focusing on having fun? Stever Robbins is a well-known productivity expert, and he also happens to love Burning Man. And when I say love, he plans months in advance for this thing.  He's known as the get-it-done guy, and it seems he's applied his get it done guy’s skills to preparing for the world’s most celebrated festival.

  • Law of Attraction secrets - Jeannette Maw ​#182

    20/08/2018 Duration: 41min

    Our favourite Law of Attraction expert is back, as seen on Oprah and as heard on Zestology (multiple times). Jeannette Maw is more fun and attracting more good vibes than ever before, after something small, unexpected, and weird happened. It led to big, big consequences and positive changes. Not surprising for the woman who describes herself as "full time manifesting geek". In this podcast you will explore; Choosing to feel good. Finding a way to feel better Expanding Consciousness (the biggie) Enjoy  

  • Love, Sex, Creativity, and Dopamine - Dr. Daniel Z. Lieberman #181

    13/08/2018 Duration: 36min

    Why are we obsessed with the things we want and bored when we get them?  Dopamine is the chemical of desire that always asks for more — more stuff, more stimulation, and more surprises. In pursuit of these things, it is undeterred by emotion, fear, or morality. Simply put, it is why we seek and succeed; it is why we discover and prosper. Yet, at the same time, it’s why we gamble and squander.  Tech has a part to play with dopamine too. Daniel Z. Lieberman finds it as hard as any of us to put the dopamine-providing phone down. So he wrote a book on it... What I love: he has a potentially life-changing proposal in the book: for how we can channel our dopamine more effectively. What is it? Listen on to find out. ​

  • 30% more attractive? Donna Lancaster #180

    06/08/2018 Duration: 50min

    You could be 30% more attractive after listening to this podcast!   Donna Lancaster is a well-known life and relationship coach who specialises in the area of grief. Or as she puts it, she loves talking about grief. Which might sound weird, but once you hear how she helps us to properly cope with grief and loss, you'll get it.   And there is a link between grief and being 30% more attractive. Honest! Bear with me.   She used to be the head of training for The Hoffman Process and she now owns and runs The Bridge Retreat which is a personal development experience here in the UK. It's described as an emotional detox and a chance to rediscover your zest for life.    Hmm, zest... I'm sure there's a relevance to this podcast somewhere.   DISCOUNT ALERT: After the interview, Donna got back in touch and offered £250 off the six day retreat. You just need to mention ZESTOLOGY when you book.   ​

  • This podcast will change your daily routine - Dr. Satchin Panda #179

    30/07/2018 Duration: 37min

    Dr. Satchin Panda is a bit of a ledge. He’s possibly the world’s most respected area in the field of Circadian rhythms and daily routines that optimise our health. We talk; How to stop peeing in the middle of the night! Bright light at night and eye masks. All the fun of time-restricted eating Supplements - is it okay to take them outside the feeding window. My fasting experiments (geeky I know) coffee, can we drink it as part of an intermittent fast (you might not like this bit…) saturated fat… in evening melatonin supplements what to go for. And an amazing book recommendation too.   This is one of my favourites. Satchin is a real expert in his field. Enjoy. And his new book is called The Circadian Code: Lose Weight, Supercharge Your Energy, and Transform Your Health from Morning to Midnight.
