Test, track and improve. This podcast is a lot of fun, with a guy who seriously knows what he is talking about. As you may know, I am an unashamed geek when it comes to tracking stuff. It's really not as tricky as it sounds though. It only takes about 90 seconds a night to track everything (lifestyle factors, supplements, energy levels and sleep quality) on a big old excel spreadsheet. Then, rather than wondering if meditation helps me feel more relaxed, or drinking loads of wine the night before a big day has a negative impact (duh), I have the data to prove it. This movement is known as Quantified Self, and there are some enlightened discoveries being made by people every day. More and more people are tracking every day, using devices like the Jawbone (modelled by yours truly below). Today's Zestology guest is Josh Trent. He is the founder of Wellness Force Radio, he’s been called a “Top 50 Digital Health Influencers of 2015,” and he’s a Quantified Self enthusiast & expert in Fitness Technology. With na

Motivation, achievement and what it takes to endure with ultraendurance man Dean Karnazes #56 The secrets of motivation, from an ultraendurance athlete This week’s guest Dean Karnazes does it all—seriously. Not only is he a renowned endurance athlete and accomplished author, but he also works with several Fortune 500 companies all around the world, helping employees transform into elite leaders and managers. Dean is, in a word, impressive. So impressive that TIME named him one of the “Top 100 Most Influential People in the World” and Men’s Fitness honored him as one of the fittest men on the planet. Our topic this week? Motivation and achievement. Dean’s got it in spades, and so can you. We’re chatting nitty gritty, including how he knocked off 50 marathons spanning 50 U.S. states in just 50 days and what it takes to run 350 miles across 80 sleep-free hours.

This week, some of the world’s greatest medical mysteries: Does stress really make you grey? Are flip flops bad for your feet? Do piercings help alleviate headaches?

Today is Zestology podcast number 52, which means we've been going a year. It's flown by, and been a lot of fun in the process. Thank you for being part of the journey, supporting me along the way, and hopefully getting some inspiration as you listen.Now, ladies and gentlemen, as you know I always like to put myself in the line of fire and test out any new gadgets for extra energy. (I'm such a hero, right.) But this one I was super-sceptical about. It is a crazy in-ear bright light energy headset called The Human Charger. I just wasn't convinced that a gadget that shines lights into my ears would do anything for me. It sends bright light into your ear which is apparently as good as seeing it and especially good for jet lag and winter mornings. The funny thing, despite my total scepticism, is I've been using this for a couple of months and for the mornings I've tried it I've felt a definite extra morning buzz. So in the deep midwinter, I wanted to find out more about the effects of a lack of light in winter, h
