You've probably experienced using a sauna in the past - but what about an infrared one? Through heating with lights, rather than hot air, manufacturers say that the benefits of improved sleep, circulation, and relaxation are significantly increased. This week, we look at whether they live up to the hype with our guests, Dr Raleigh Duncan and Steve Wright from Clearlight Saunas. Dr. Raleigh Duncan founded Sauna Works in his garage in 1996 after seeing firsthand the healing benefits from using an infrared sauna. He believed then that there was a tremendous business potential for this unique product long before most people had ever heard of an infrared sauna. Prior to this, Dr. Duncan spent almost twenty years as a capital equipment specialist in the manufacturing sector. Dr. Duncan has a Bachelor of Science degree from Excelsior College and a Doctorate from Life West Chiropractic College. Steve Wright is a Clearlight Infrared Sauna Specialist & Educator. His primary goal is to support clients making healthy

"How can you hate me when you don’t even know me?" This is one of the questions that prompted Daryl Davis to do the unthinkable as a black man in 1980's America: befriend members of the KKK. Since a fateful interview with Grand Dragon, Robert Kelly, Daryl has used conversation as a tool for dismantling racist beliefs - leading to 20 members, and Kelly himself, leaving the Klan. As well as writing a groundbreaking book on these experiences, he works as an educator on race relations and is a prominent musician. We are honoured to have Daryl on the show to speak about his experience with understanding the motivations for racism, how ignorance breeds fear and hatred, and how open conversation can be a powerful tool for reaching understanding.

In this episode, we dive deeper into the ways sugar has damaged our metabolisms, the signs of unhealthy hunger, and why being hungry shouldn't make you feel tired - as well as how to get our bodies back to being efficient fat burners.

Polymathy: the knowledge of many arts and sciences. Specialising in one field is impressive enough - but to span as many as Dr Ted Achacoso is extraordinary. This week, Josh is joined in the studio by one of the greatest game-changers currently working in the biohacking sphere. From medicine to artificial intelligence and technology to investing, Dr Achacoso has seen it all. Listen on to hear about his incredible journey, his current work, and how he formulated the increasingly popular Blue Cannatine nootropic troche. Curious about his full background?

At 28, he became a professor of medical informatics and of interventional neuroradiology in Washington, DC, where he also performed artificial intelligence re

We welcome two of our favourite guests back to the show: Natalie Vincent and Salim Najjar. Listen in as they discuss Medical Wave, a brand that produces devices that use high energy acoustic pressure waves to non-invasively treat patients, Nathalie's experience with providing shock wave therapy treatments, and Salim's perspective as this week's guinea pig!

How many of us have started diets, only to plateau in progress or give up entirely? While using up body fat is essential to creating energy, dietary advice over the last few decades has meant that we are instead used to burning industrially-produced oils and sugars. The result: addictive eating habits, hunger, and fatigue. Dr Catherine Shanahan's second book, The Fatburn Fix, looks at how our metabolisms have been damaged - and the steps we need to take to repair them and create better energy. We discuss our key learnings, from reframing weight loss to reinvigorating the metabolism.

Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training has exploded in popularity in the biohacking world, praised as a safe and efficient tool for exercise, recovery and rehabilitation. Few brands have been involved in the form for as long as Kaatsu, a Japanese company founded in 1966 who has since spent decades conducting academic research and developing protocols. To see just how effective it really is, this week Josh chats to Kaatsu Global co-founder, Steven Munatones, and Chief Business Development Officer, John Doolittle, to hear the story and the science behind this fascinating practice. Plus, as one of our listeners, you can get 10% off products on the Kaatsu website - just use the code JOSH10 and try BFR out for yourself. To learn more, visit www.kaatsu.com

Did you know that algae is endorsed by NASA as the most nutritionally dense food in the world? While we're usually cautious about the term 'superfood', this week's guest has blown us away with her demonstration that this food group is a gamechanger. Join us as we chat to Catharine Arnston, creator of ENERGYbits, as she gives us a whirlwind insight into the many benefits of spirulina and chlorella. In 2009, Catharine put her career on hold to help her sister recover from breast cancer, who was advised to change her diet to an alkaline one for her health. In the process, she discovered algae - and she's been on a mission to help Americans understand it ever since.

This week, we talk to Juraj Kocar(CEO) about the power of Somavedic - a tool that needs to be experienced to be believed. A functional frequency therapy device, it harmonises the negative effects of EMF on our bodies. Combining an Eastern medicine approach with frequency therapy technology in one device, it's designed on the principle of controlled release of energy from minerals. Join us as we learn about the science behind the product and its lifechanging effects Juraj has experienced. Juraj's self-awareness journey began towards the end of 2012 when he shifted a negative focus on conspiracy theories towards the inner self. Fighting high blood pressure, cholesterol, and brain fog, he needed to change his overall approach to life and health - which brought him to the world of EMF-awareness, biohacking, and Somavedic.

Magnesium is an essential mineral for your body to function properly - and while we can usually get enough of it from our diet from foods like green leafy vegetables, studies have shown that almost half of people in Western Europe and the US don't. Taking magnesium supplements can help ensure you're getting the right amount you need, particularly helping with fatigue, sleep, blood pressure and mood. But with seven different kinds of magnesium to choose from, it can be difficult to know what to take. We dive into what they are and what might work for you. Please note we always recommend researching your specific needs and discussing your health with your GP if you have concerns, as there is no advice that's 'one size fits all'!

Usually, when your tongue goes blue it's because you ate some funky candy - or you're seriously sick. With our most recent guest, however, it's a sign that you've taken a supplement the biohacking world is going crazy for: Blue Cannatine.

Listen in as the two discuss how Dr Sherr helps optimise the health of his patients, the world of troscriptions, and how he hacks brain performance.
