  • The Lord Of Light: How You're Destroying Your Brain With Bad Light Exposure And Circadian Disruption — Andy Mant | #082
    Andy Mant is the founder and CEO of Blublox (https://blublox.com/), a company that creates the world's most effective blue and green light blocking eyewear. Originally from the UK, Andy made the move to my sun-soaked home country of Australia around eight years ago, and it was here that he founded Blublox, after testing a ton of blue light blocking glasses that were already on the market, that he found just weren't effective.
    Andy is one of the most knowledgeable dudes I've ever spoken to when it comes to the topic of healthy light exposure and how that relates to our circadian health, and if light is still something you don't prioritise when it comes to your own personal daily routine, this episode is likely to get you to change that. And if not, at least it'll hopefully scare you into using your smartphone a little less in the late hours of the day.
    In this episode, Andy and I will talk about how light controls your circadian rhythm, why your phone and other devices are screwing with your body clock, the links between blue light exposure and cancer, some info on your sleep hormone melatonin and why it's more than you may have been lead to believe, why athletes are more susceptible to damage from blue light exposure, what phase shifting is and how it effects your energy levels, how to use Blublox in conjunction with beating jetlag, and much more.

  • Forget Your Mantra: How To Simplify Meditation And Biohack Your Mindfulness With Vedic Wisdom — James Brown | #080
    James Brown is a proponent of vedic meditation, and the founder of Vedic Path Meditation (https://vedicpathmeditation.com), who teaches people from all walks of life the art of this ancient practice. Over the last ten years, James has taught thousands of people how to meditate more effectively around his home city of San Francisco, at conferences around the world, and to employees of some of the world's biggest companies including Salesforce, BitTorrent, and many others. 
    A student of vedic master Maharishi Vyasananda, James studied this form of medidation for years before sharing it with the world, including an intensive practice in India, high in the Himalayan mountains. And if you've ever been the kind of person to this that meditation is lumped into the "too hard" basket, or that it's always been a chore for you, chances are that James is the man who can turn that viewpoint around.
    In this episode, James enlightens us about what vedic meditation is and the how its process works, what a mantra is and how it applies to vedic meditation, how meditation can install the state of flow into your life, how most of us are human doings, when we should be human beings, some tactics that may help you stick to a meditation practice, why binaural beats can be an effective meditation for some, though why they're not the only answer, how to combine certain other practices with meditation, and so much more.

  • Shocking Science: Tickling Your Brain With Electrical Impulses Could Make You Learn 50% Faster — Dr Daniel Chao | #079
    Dr Daniel Chao is a neurotechonology entrepreneur, specialising in wearable devices that can improve the performance of the human brain. Most notable known for founding the company Halo Neuroscience (https://www.haloneuro.com/), a company that produces the Halo Sport, a biohacking device that works by applying a small electric current to the area of he brain that controls movement–putting it into a state of hyperlearning.
    The neurostimulation that Halo employs leads the brain to become plastic, which makes it much easier for us to learn how to do new things. This state of neuroplasticity is something I spoke about in a previous episode in depth during my interview with Victor Mifsud the Blind Biohacker, and something Dr Chao will shed much more light on in this episode. But in short, this technology has some incredibly promising applications not just for human performance, but also for healing and rewiring the brain, as well as other parts of the body and nervous system.
    In this episode, we talk about what neuroplasticity is and how it can be beneficial for the brain, what the Halo device is and how it can supercharge learning, how your brain actually learns a new skill and why you should learn in the morning, how Halo helps you learn skills up to 50% faster, why it's being used by the military, surgeons, and pilots to improve work performance, how safe getting electrical stimulation of the brain using Halo us, how you can protect your brain from ageing and disease, and much more.
    If you like what you hear in this episode and want to get your own Halo to upgrade your learning abilities, Dr Chao has provided a discount code for listeners of this podcast to get the best price possible on the device. When you use the code "BIOALCHEMY" at checkout on the Halo Neuro website, you'll save yourself some money on this epic brain-hacking device.

  • Britain's Biohacking King: Weird Biohacks, And How You May Have Mercury Poisoning Without Even Knowing It — Tim Gray | #078
    Tim Gray is a biohacker, avid self-experimenter, and founder of the Health Optimisation Summit, as well as one of the most well-known biohackers that inhabits this ball of rock hurtling through the cosmos we all call home. Tim has spent years testing, evaluating, and measuring thousands of biohacking techniques to improve health, cognition, and overall wellness, and now spends a great deal of his life sharing that information with the world.
    Tim's journey into biohacking started from a range of health problems that he decided to take into his own hands and overcome, when a lot of traditional healing avenues seemed to not offer him much help. Many of these issues Tim believes stemmed from mercury poisoning, which is something he will go into some detail into this episode. And after having also discovered the powerful benefits of hyperbaric oxygen therapy, Tim opened up his own clinic in London where people can bring the benefits of this technology into their own lives. And if you've never heard of how this technology can aid in overall health and recovery, prepare to have your eyes opened.
    In this episode, we talk about how Tim defines biohacking, how mercury poisoning lead him to take control of his own health, how you may be contaminated by mercury and other heavy metals from things like fillings in your teeth as well as fish, why farmed fish is so damaging to human health, how you could potentially have mercury poisoning even if your parents had fillings that contained this metal, what hyperbaric oxygen therapy is and the results Tim has had with it over the years, the most important metrics Tim tracks about his biology and why he no longer tracks as much as he did, some of the weirdest biohacks Tim has subjected himself to, the most important biohacks Tim recommends everyone should focus on, and much more.
    As I mentioned, Tim is the founder of the Health Optimisation Summit that's coming up in London this September, so if you can make it or are in the area, I suggest you check it out. There will be some of the biggest biohackers in the world speaking including the father of biohacking Dave Asprey, as well as many others including a personal favourite of mine and previous podcast guest Bob Troia (otherwise known as Quantified Bob), so you should come along if you're able. I'm almost also certain to make it as long as my schedule permits, and I'd love to see some of your faces there if you can make it as well. Full details and tickets can be found at summit.healthoptimisation.com, I hope to see you there.

  • You Are Eating Plastic: Salt Lies You've Been Gobbling Up, Debunking Myths, And Biohacking Sodium Intake — #076
    Feeling salty? Well unfortunately, it looks like most of us aren't salty enough when it comes to our intake of sodium, despite governments and certain organisations saying we should be eating less of it. But how correct are the current dietary guidelines when it comes to salt? And what are the dangers of not enough of it in the diet? Well, all that and more is coming up in today's episode.
    In case you weren’t aware, salt – or sodium – is an extremely important element when it comes to human biology, and without it, you’d be dead. Despite all this, sodium is something that’s received a bad rap over the last few decades, due mostly to how much salt is in the standard diet of those in many developed countries, especially in the United States. But you may be surprised to know that although America is one of the biggest culprits when it comes to recommending to its people to lower salt intake, it's by far not the biggest consumer of sodium. And the countries that are, are much healthier than America is.
    In this episode, I talk about the major myths of salt and where they came from, how inaccurate a lot of the current salt dogma is when it comes to its relation to stroke and heart disease, why sodium is so essential for our health, some of the processes salt is responsible for in the human body, why much of our salt contains harmful microplastics, the sources of salt I personally use that are not contaminated, how much salt I generally use on a daily basis, and much more.

  • 100% Meat Diet: The Record-Breaking Carnivore King On Why Meat Heals, Biohacking Autoimmunity, And Food Quality — Dr Shawn Baker | #075
    Dr Shawn Baker is a medical doctor, orthopaedic surgeon, former soldier, athlete, and world-record holder, Dr Baker is known to many online as the carnivore king, as he's one of the world's leading proponents of the carnivore diet. In case you weren't aware, the carnivore diet is exactly as it sounds, where people who hold this dietary observation eat almost exclusively meat, and basically nothing else.
    The carnivore diet is gaining a lot of popularity of late, with a ton of people turning to it for a variety of reasons, though where it's seemed to have the most success is as a potential treatment for a host of autoimmune conditions. But it's also generating a lot of discussion online, as well as criticism, from those who don't believe it can be a completely healthy choice.
    In this episode, we discuss why Dr Baker turned to the carnivore diet and what were the major benefits he saw from it, what the current research is saying about being 100% carnivore and why many other people are turning to it, some information that suggests red meat can potentially prevent ageing, what some of the potential adverse side-effects could be, the ethics of being a carnivore and what kinds of meats would be preferable, the potential hazards of low-quality commercial-grade meat, the potential dangers of amyloids in industrially-raised meat, why high cholesterol can actually be beneficial in older people, some of Dr Baker's own health and performance routines that have helped him break world records after the age of 50, and much more.
    As I mentioned in yesterday's solo episode, I don't necessarily agree with the carnivore diet in many ways for my own health, though that doesn't mean there aren't people like Dr Baker in this episode who are much more informed than I am on the topic, and who have research to back up why it can be effective in many cases, or why it seems to work extremely well for many people. I do personally eat meat, though meat and other intake of animal products for me is only around 20%-30% of my diet, so I'm a far cry from being a total carnivore, but I'm also a far cry from being a vegan.
    But again, I will say that to many people listening, this episode will be somewhat controversial. However, regardless of whether you agree with Dr Baker or not, I'd only ask you to treat his knowledge and experience with as much respect as you'd treat that of any other human. If you disagree, like I do with certain parts of the carnivore diet, that's fine. As I've said many times on this podcast, not every lifestyle choice is for everyone, and everyone is free to do their own research, and make up their own mind. I also recommend you seek out Dr Baker's recent interview on the Joe Rogan podcast, as he shares much more there that I couldn't in this 30 minute episode.

  • The Ethics Of Meat: Animal Products In A Biohacking Diet, Health Concerns, And Why Veganism Doesn't Equal Innocence — #074
    Meat: should we eat it? I do eat meat. And while I'm lucky enough to be in the position to afford the absolute best quality animal products from creatures that have lived natural, healthy, stress-free lives, that doesn't mean I haven't questioned my desires to take myself out of the chain of death, regardless of how long killing animals has been a part of human existence. I've been asked  the question many times about my consumption of meat for both ethical and health reasons, but it's the ethics part that's playing the biggest role in this episode.
    In advance, this episode of the podcast isn't like any other that's come before, as it's not necessarily only about biohacking your health when it comes to food. And while diet obviously plays a big part in human health, the simple fact is that this is also getting muddied by the fact that there are now ethical concerns when it comes to the consumption of eating animals. And not only just killing animals for food that have lived natural lives, but the fact that many people believe killing in any regard is unethical, and shouldn't be a part of humanity's food system at all.
    Regardless of what dietary observation you hold, chances are you're likely not going to agree with something I say in this episode. A part of that may be because I think we're all guilty of death and destruction to a certain degree (and yes, that means you too vegans), but also maybe because I raise some points in this episode that may be confronting to you. Or maybe, it's just because you think I have my facts wrong. All of these reasons are fine, and we don't have to agree. I may very well be wrong, as I don't profess to have all the answers.
    But in saying that, I thought it was time for me to bring this issue up, based on my current beliefs, understanding, as well as my desire to let it be known that whatever you observe when it comes to the way you eat, in the end it's your choice. However, it's also important to let it be known that ethics also don't always coincide with what's best for your health, which isn't always the easiest pill to swallow.

  • Light-Speed Learning: The Weird Morning Routine That'll Biohack Your Brain To Learn Faster And Upgrade Your Skills — #072
    Learning is awesome, but learning fast is better. And let's face it, if we can all take shortcuts to allowing our brain to take in more information, and retain that information better, I'm sure we'll all say yes to that. And that's exactly what I'm going to cover in this episode, with a ton of biohacks to better learn languages, that I'm you can implement for almost any skill.
    This year, I've challenged myself to learn Czech, which is notorious for being one of the most difficult languages in the world, especially when it comes to European languages. And due to some recently-uncovered family history, I'm likely eligible for citizenship, which means that it's definitely in my interest to not necessarily master the language, but at least become proficient in it. And for that reason, I've created a morning routine protocol that I'll be using to learn Czech, that's designed to spike my brain's learning capacity, and make language learning easier.
    In this episode, you'll learn how to set yourself up for optimal learning through sleep, how to increase memory with dream recall, how to use pen and paper to better remember your dreams, how you can learn new skills while you're asleep, a simple biohack to increase your neuroplasticity that involves brushing your teeth, how to block out distractions to increase focus, what the research is saying about binaural beats and learning, using exercise to improve memory, boosting your acetylcholine levels, and much more.

  • The Free Biohack More Powerful Than Meditation: How Earthing (Grounding) Enhances Cellular Energy, Fights Disease, And Enhances Wellbeing — #050
    When chatting to biohackers, top performers, or any kind of leader in the field of health, wellness, business, sports, or beyond, one thread that seems to link them all is that they almost without fail have a meditation practice. And while meditation has been touted for an incredibly long time for its benefits to the mind, body, and soul, there's one tactic that's fast replacing my meditation practice as the number one thing I absolutely must do each day if I want to be operating at my peak. And that's grounding, or earthing.
    In this 50th episode of the Bio Alchemy podcast, I discuss this ridiculously simple biohack that's been a part of my daily practice, and why it's something you should be implementing into your life each and every day without fail, to maintain a level of homeostasis. As I talk about in this short solo episode as well, you'll learn why it's so essential, and why the human race is so strange in our ways of disconnecting ourselves from the planet, when no other species does this.
    You'll learn the basic fundamentals of how your body operates as a cellular battery, how we build up a positive static charge throughout our daily life, why this charge needs to be released regularly, what your mitochondria are and why they're essential to your energy production, how simple and effective earthing can be for your health, some of the health issues that can arise from not earthing yourself enough, how earthing can assist with a reduction in cortisol, how to biohack your earthing practice to get more benefit from the time you're spending on it, and so much more.
    Thank all of you also for your incredible support on the podcast so far over the last few months, and helping Bio Alchemy to get to 50 episodes. I wouldn't still be here doing this if you all weren't finding value in it, and I look forward to celebrating the next 50, 500, and beyond.
