Want to improve your communication skills, eat healthier, optimize your energy, boost your brain power, and sleep better?
It’s not rocket science.
You don’t need expensive equipment or even a lot of time in the day to improve your health. It all starts with your daily habits and the choices you make, including what you have for lunch or how often you eat throughout the day.
You can optimize these choices through something called biohacking, which you may have heard about already. There’s more to it than just putting butter in your coffee, though. It’s essentially a way to enhance your physical and mental performance with different biohacks — aka smart healthy habits that work for you.
In this episode, I’ll sit down with Tony Wrighton to dig into effective biohacks.
Tony is a well-known Sky sports presenter in the UK, an expert in neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) who’s published 3 books on the topic, speaker, and host of the top-rated podcast Zestology.
He’s a long-time biohacker, starting with his studies on NLP, which helped him become a more effective and persuasive communicator. Being a radio show host at the time, these skills came in extremely handy, as he was able to raise the listening numbers for his show, connect deeper with his audience, and impress his boss.
Nowadays, Tony is tinkering with every aspect of his health, including stress, sleep, nutrition, motivation, and brain function, and today he tells us all about his results.
There is something else that I think ties into a meditative state, although it’s not meditation as such, and to me it’s possibly the most successful neurohack I do on a daily basis. And that is, very simply, switching all technology… Click To TweetIn this episode, we go over:
