This is a rebroadcast of an important episode of Bio Alchemy: The Daily Biohacking Podcast from earlier this year that I wanted to re-share with you all. An all-new episode is coming tomorrow. Taking a vow of silence: biohacking the mind and relationships by shutting my mouth. Taking a vow of silence is something that monks and religious figures usually are seen doing, though I decided to take on the challenge by not speaking for 7 days. I was first introduced to the concept of not speaking for long periods of time via my partner Sorelle, who has to date completed two Vipassana silent 10-day m ..read more

A while ago, I heard a quick online soundbite about how different the food we eat today is nutritionally, when compared to the food our grandparents ate. Although there were no sources, the soundbite suggested that if you ate an orange today, you’d need to eat eight of them to get the same nutrition as an orange your grandmother or grandfather ate. I figured there would be a lot of truth in this. Due to the fact that food today is grown so much faster, and generally picked when not completely ripe, as well as in many cases eaten several weeks after picking, it makes sense that we’re probably n ..read more

We’ve all heard about juicing for health. But let’s face it, most of the time the health claims around juicing are more often than not seriously inflated. But not in the case of the biohacking juice that I’m talking about in today’s episode. The topic of which, is beetroot juice. I’ve been taking a shot or two of beet juice almost every day for a while now, and sometimes as a pre-workout. It’s all down to the way that beet juice has been shown to scientifically boost our body’s production of nitric oxide, which can massively help our brain, muscles, and lungs perform. For me, it’s usually take ..read more

Have you ever heard about how you shouldn’t eat raw eggs as they may contain salmonella? Well, that whole health myth may not be as scary as you might think. As a biohacker, I’m always critical when I hear old wive’s tales, or seemingly hearsay about health. I mean, questioning this stuff is one of the fundamental basics of what I do here when creating episodes for Bio Alchemy: The Spiritual Biohacking Podcast. Recently, I posted on Instagram a recipe for a protein smoothie, that I drink most days. Although some of the particulars of the biohack ingredients I put in it change, one thing is alm ..read more

And here we are: after 1.5 years of publishing episodes of Bio Alchemy: The Spiritual Biohacking Podcast, we’ve reached 100 episodes! This is a pretty big milestone for me. Although we would have reached the centenary of episodes much sooner id I’d continued to publish at the original pace I wanted to, unfortunately that’s not always the way it happens. But as with all things, everything happens as it should. In this very special episode, I want to share with you all a very special story. And that is, the story of how I biohacked my consciousness with the most profound spiritual experience of ..read more

And we’re back! Yeah, yeah, I know my biohacking podcast has been away for a while, though I always knew it’d come back at the right time. Not to sound too much like a hippie, though the Universe always guides us towards the things that we should be doing, and after a bit of a long hiatus, I knew it was time to return. Today, I’m dropping two episodes of Bio Alchemy: The Spiritual Biohacking podcast. Today’s episode is episode 99, where I’m going to be talking about how you can biohack your body’s natural innate immune system using the phenomenal Reishi mushroom - sometimes called, the “Mushro ..read more

Let's face it; there's a ton of junk science and plain nonsense being peddled on the internet when it comes to health advice. Biohackers like myself are guilty of it, the medical establishment is guilty of it, and normal people getting caught up in health fads are guilty of it. In my opinion, one of the most vile and BS-filled fads going around today is the celery juice diet/fast, created by a guy named Anthony William. And I'm going to get straight to the point: according to Mr. William, he receives most of his health information by talking to spirits. I'm not about telling anyone what to do ..read more

Your body is a miraculous machine, capable of self-healing, removing toxicity, and taking care of itself to a level we all have trouble comprehending at times. And when it comes to detoxification, and removing damaged material from our bodies, there's likely no process more important than autophagy. Taken from the Ancient Greek word "autóphagos" which means self-devouring, autophagy is your body's means of removing the junk we all carry around that leads to disease, illness, and a shortening of our lifespan. Despite what some health gurus and detox-tea-peddling companies would have you believe ..read more

Right now, most of are struggling with something we've all come into contact with before, that seems to be on a new level: boredom. Due to the global lockdowns that are currently in place, many of us are quarantined at home, not going to our jobs, not hanging out with friends, going out in public, or even seeing family. And that's given us a seriously increased awareness of how bored it's possible to be, when we're not able to do the things that normally fill up our time. However, could being bored be a good thing? Well according to modern research, it's a definite plus for the health of our m ..read more

Our comfort zone is the thing that stops us doing hard things, and being happy sitting around and doing nothing, when we know we have tasks that need conquering. But do you have any idea how to expand your comfort zone, to make hard things seem easier? I've spent the best part of a decade and a half on my human optimisation practice, trying to upgrade and enhance myself as a human being. It hasn't always been easy, though one thing I can count on, is that real improvement comes from doing those things that aren't easy. Your comfort zone is like a muscle. The more you work that muscle, the stro ..read more
