We sort fact from wishful thinking when it comes to some of the biohacks Lisa feels is helping her do her best work while working from home in these uncertain times.
And as usual we’ve enlisted a posse of experts to run them through the hard science research filter.
Butter coffee, chaga (dried fungus “coffee”), "earthing" and mindfulness meditation all go under the microscope. Will any of them survive to be utilized another day?
Guests:
Accredited nutritionist and dietician Catherine Saxelby from FoodWatch
Belinda Smith, freelance science journalist on sabbatical from ABC Science
Dr Nicholas Van Dam, clinical neuroscientist Deputy Director of the Brain and Mental Health Hub within the Melbourne School of Psychological Sciences. Nicholas is currently recruiting volunteers for a research project into mindfulness meditation.
