Biohacking News by Zestology

On today's podcast, find out what's in my freezer, and other more important lockdown issues. Yes, we are talking... drumroll, lockdown tactics, how to deal with coronavirus from a physical, mental and emotional perspective.

So how are you getting on with all this? I do hope you are keeping safe and well. On the subject of keeping well, Beth O’Hara is a Functional Naturopath and Functional Genetic Analyst and specialises in working with clients with Histamine Intolerance and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (and you probably know about my interest in histamine issues). She has a Doctorate in Naturopathy specialising in Functional Naturopathic Approaches and is the perfect person to talk to in these strange times.

We talk in general terms about immunity, breathing techniques, supplements and tips, and also a bit more in depth about allergies, histamine intolerance and mast cell activation syndrome too.

Coronavirus: Immune system and anti-virus support - Dr. Matt Cook #265

On this coronavirus focused podcast we look at anything and everything we can do to improve our health and immune system. Including;

Functional medicine treatments, and commonly available supplements that science may show helps.
Pharmaceutical approaches that doctors and governments may pursue

First a disclaimer at the start... please don’t start any new regime without consulting your medical practitioner. If you think you are suffering from coronavirus you must get the appropriate medical advice, as Dr Cook advocates a number of times in this podcast.

Dr. Matt Cook runs a functional medicine clinic called BioReset Medical, and is one of the world’s top experts in the area of natural health and immunity. I first found out about him from Ben Greenfield and Dave Asprey. He has spent the past several weeks distilling the latest coronavirus research, talking with experts around the world and integrating his vast clinical experience to provide up to date information to the public and medical practitioners. As you’ll hear, he’s reading every available study every day, and he’s changing his approach based on the science daily too. To reiterate, if you get ill, he is absolutely not saying take matters into your own hands. You must get proper medical treatment, but he does say there are things you can do to boost your immunity.

Please stay safe and healthy.

Book Club: Funny, compulsively readable fiction

As you know, I've been considering setting up a free Book Club. And here it is.

Books feature a lot on the podcast so maybe it is a good idea at this time. We are all desperately in need of switching off the news (if just for 20 minutes) and escaping. So in this podcast I launch our first book. The idea is we all read it together, and then... uh, well I'm kind of making it up as I go along, as you'll hear in the podcast.
