New Project Preview Episode!

So this one’s a little different to the wriinkle short you were expecting - that's because we're excited to let you know about a new project we're about to launch. Exciting times.

We’ve recently been putting a load of thought into what wriinkle’s purpose is – what's our big, ultimate mission for everything we’re doing? This is it:

Wriinkle’s mission is to empower people to find their purpose, or find more purpose in their lives. We know from our own experience, and see it in our friends, that people often get to a stage of their life where they might be questioning the path they're on. Maybe we're feeling unfulfilled by what we're doing and know that we can be fulfilling more ambitions, doing more of what we love and what we can contribute to whole heartedly. This all boils down to purpose. What’s your purpose?

So when we're thinking about what can inspire us and energise us to find/go after our purpose - we think seeing other people on their own journey of growth (however far along it they might be) can have have the best effect.

There’s a short bit at the start of chapter 6 of Becoming Supernatural by Dr Joe Dispenza where he talks about this – he calls it “living examples of truth”

He says; “once we can relate to the challenges and triumphs of other people’s journeys we can start to believe a similar experience can happen for us. Stories also make ideas become less philosophical and more personal”

Here's the link to that book: https://tinyurl.com/ya4m7y9m

So for us at wriinkle - this project isn’t about ‘success stories’ – it’s about sharing journeys, illustrating the growth mindset and helping people find purpose.

So check your podcast feed on Monday for the first episode within this project :) Also check us out on Instagram and YouTube - lots of new stuff about to drop!

Nice one :)

Here we go! Another wriinkle Short, thank you for listening :)

This ones all about the microbiome. In this episode we get stuck into what the gut microbiome is, the microbes (bacteria, fungi, viruses etc) that make up 90% of our body and how this all plays a massive part in the way we think and feel and our health and wellbeing.

Here's a link to Zendium - the micorbiome balancing toothpast I mention: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Zendium-Complete-Protection-Toothpaste-75ml/dp/B07DFR2W4V

The book I refer to is Brain Maker: The Power of Gut Microbes to Heal and Protect Your Brain - for Life by David Perlmutter 

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Brain-Maker-Power-Microbes-Protect-ebook/product-reviews/B00PW636FS/ref=cm_cr_getr_d_paging_btm_3?ie=UTF8&reviewerType=all_reviews&sortBy=recent&pageNumber=3#R2NFEXZXYEQVK0

Also here's a good blog post all about the best foods for a healthy gut microbiome:

https://foodrevolution.org/blog/best-foods-for-gut-health/

Thanks so much to everyone that we've been speaking to this week about finding purpose since the last episode. Love it :)

Continue to get in touch, I'd love it if someone can teach me more about the gut microbiome! Email [email protected] or DM on the wriinkle instagram.

Right thanks for listening and look after the gut microbiome people!

Nice one :)

Here we go! Thanks for listening :)

Purpose is such a big thing for wriinkle - we're all about empowering people to find their purpose, or more purpose in their lives. That’s our ultimate goal/purpose/mission.

So we’ve been focused on defining this ultimate mission so that it can help us to be focused and coherent with every idea we create and execute.

So this episode is all about purpose and how having a purpose will not only help you achieve more, and have a positive effect on the world around you but also – according to Blue Zone research – encourage good health and longevity. 

So whether you already have a defined life’s purpose (usually a 6-10 one liner) or you're at a stage where you’re looking for yours, this episode is all about some initial things we can be thinking about.

Here’s Mastin Kipp’s book Claim Your Power that I refer to in the episode:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Claim-Your-Power-Journey-Dissolve/dp/1781805946/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1535575208&sr=1-1&refinements=p_27%3AMastin+Kipp

Thanks to all the people who’ve been in touch about the last few episodes – it’s been great chatting to you all. Can’t wait to hear what your thoughts are on this subject too :)

Nice one – enjoy!

You are listenin' to a Wriinkle Short!

This one's all about reading - a commonality with all of the worlds high achievers, prominent leaders, CEOs etc is reading prolifically.

Also – I didn’t get round to this in the episode but reading can actually help you live longer. They did a big piece of research at Yale and found that people who read books for 30 minutes daily lived an average of 23 months longer than nonreaders or magazine readers. They say the practice of reading books creates cognitive engagement that improves lots of things, including vocabulary, thinking skills, and concentration. It also can affect empathy, social perception, and emotional intelligence, all of which helps people stick around on the planet for longer.

We also touch on some other methods for consuming books – outside of straight reading.

And then we delve into an amazing feller called Jim Kwik’s tips for working out how you can read a book a week – so in theory 52 books a year!

Hope you enjoy this and get something out of it! Thanks for the feedback on the last episode on the growth mindset – it’s so much appreciated, I’m very grateful.

Let me know what you think of this one and if you’ve got any thoughts or tips on reading

How doooo

This episode is based on Carol Dweck's mindset theory which is all detailed in her brilliant book Mindset: Changing The Way You Think To Fulfil Your Potential https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/1780332009/ref=tmm_pap_used_olp_sr?ie=UTF8&condition=used&qid=&sr=

Within this book (and on a few Ted Talks and other bit which you can find on Youtube) she details two opposing mindsets:

The Fixed Mindset: which suggests that your abilities are innate and unchangeable. Like how we commony think of talents and 'gifts'

The Growth Mindset: which basically views our abilies not as fixed 'talents' but as something the you can improve

In this episode I detail some of the characteristics and differences between the two mindsets and how i've personally used this theory to make some significant changes to my own life.

Let us know what you think about this subject - have you used this stuff to identify where you might have a fixed mindset and made positive changes off the back of it? 

Or do you beleive that we do possess talents and gifts and they're innate?

Hope you enjoy this one and get something out of it - thank you for listening :)

Nice one!

Thanks for listening to another Wriinkle Short!

This one's all about EMF - electromagnetic fields - and in particular the effects on our health from the man-made synthetic kind of EMF that are being produced from our electonics, our smart devices, connected homes and cars and wifi in gerneral.

I refer to some articles/studies that have gone some way in proving or even just illustrating the potential dangers (which we aren't fully aware of yet with wifi and many devices being so relatively new). 

Here are the links:

• Electromagnetic Fields linked to Asthma in kids https://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=147669

Also a list of some symptoms to EMF sensitivity/over exposure to look out for:

• Ringing in your ears

I also discuss some preventative measures we can all take right away :)

Hope you enjoy this and continue to reach out and build on these topics - I've loved discussing microdosing and stem-cells with people over the last week. I love it, keep it coming.

Nice one!

Anton

Here we bleedn go - another WS podcast episode.

Sticking with the bio-hacking & longevity theme - this episode is all about Stem Cells.

We dive into:

- what are stem cells and what are their scientific/medical significance?

- recent breakthroughs in stem cell research and medical usage

- how we can enhance our own stem cell production and health by engaging in some dietary/lifestyle practices

Keep getting in touch (thank you for the feedback and the engaging conversation around the last episode on microdosing)

Thanks so much for listening - hope you enjoy it :)

Nice one!

Well we've been lining this one up for a while - I'm going to share my microdosing experience with you.

Firstly I think it's important to spend the first fe minutes of this podcast rationalising (or at least me trying to rationalise) the context in which I place, and have approached, microdosing.

I've been microdosing psilocybyn every 4 days and i'm going to tell you about how much, when, and for how long (a cycle) I supplement for.

Hear me out and let us know what you think - have you tried it? Are you thinking about it? Have you tried microdosing with another pyschedelic?

I also mention Dr James Fadiman & Dr Rosiland Watts - google them and have a look into their stuff - they've both appeared on Podcasts and Ted Talks and have books and papers.

Hope you enjoy this one!

Here we go, another WS - thanks for listening :)

So we're staying on the biohacking thread that has run through a lot of these Short podcasts and it was inspired by our last wriinkle Podcast guest Ben Lewell, who shared lots of actionable ways we can hack our lives to get out of a rut, to entrer flow states, to be more productive etc etc ..give that episode a listen if you haven't already.

In this one we're talking Blue Zones - these are very specific loactions/communities around the world where the people live for significantly longer on average.

So I dive into what the commonalities between these places and it's people are and how we can incorporate these into our own lives to potwntially stay healthy and active (and alive!) for longer.

Get in touch with your thoughts on Blue Zones and it'd be great if you can share any tips for longevity you might have recieved from elderly family members.

Here's a new wriinkle podcast - thanks listening!

We were introduced to Ben Lewell only a couple of weeks before recording and we had such interesting conversations with him about meditation, blue light, flow states, mindset - which, judging by looking at our episode feed, are all things that we're fascinated by.

Ben tells me about juggling a consulting career with enterepreneurship. We discuss past ventures, failures, successes and what he's learned from it all which will take him into his coming project.

Thanks for everyone's engagement after the lastpodcast episode with Georgia - keep getting in touch via the wriinkle Instagram :) You can also email us on [email protected]

Nice one!
