Sport et nutrition naturelle — Bien manger pour mieux Bouger
Vous avez sûrement entendu parle du BulletProof coffee ou café gras. La promesse est de neutraliser la sensation de faim tout en apportant au cerveau ce dont il a besoin. Mais est-ce vrai ? C'est ce que j'ai voulu vérifier via les études.J'ai découvert le Bullet Proof Coffee il y a quelques années. J'en ai été un vrai adepte sans pour autant vérifier ce qu'en disent les études scientifiques. Maintenant je continue à en boire de temps en temps et je me suis dit qu'il était temps de décrypter et confronter les promesses à la réalité des preuves scientifiques.Cette boisson inventée par l'entrepreneur américain Dave Asprey est inspirée du thé tibétain au beurre de yak. Il trouve ses racines dans une tradition ancestrale de l'Himalaya : le thé au beurre de yak, appelé Po Cha, consommé par les Tibétains et d'autres peuples de haute altitude pour lutter contre le froid et la faim. Asprey adapte la recette en remplaçant le thé par du café et le beurre de yak par du beurre non salé issu de vaches nourries à l'herbe, puis y ajoute de l'huile MCT (triglycérides à chaîne moyenne), issue notamment de la noix de coco. Le Bulletproof coffee devient rapidement un phénomène, d'abord aux États-Unis, puis au Canada, au Royaume-Uni et progressivement en Europe surtout quand de nombreuses célébrités américaines, comme Kim Kardashian ou Jimmy Fallon, vantent ses mérites.Aujourd'hui, le Bulletproof coffee est devenu un symbole de la tendance « café gras » ou « café cétogène », et s'inscrit dans la routine matinale de nombreux adeptes du bien-être, des sportifs, des entrepreneurs et des amateurs de nouvelles tendances nutritionnelles et de biohacking. Mais finalement quels sont ses réels bénéfices ?Dans cet épisode :l'origine et les raisons du succèsque sont les graisses MCT ?les bénéfices prouvés sur la satiété et le contrôle de l'appétitles effets sur la composition corporelle et la perte de poidsl'impact réel sur la performance cognitivepourquoi ce café gras est intéressant pour les adeptes du kéto et du jeûne intermittentles effets secondaires et le test de tolérancemes recettes de café gras et alternatives sans caféinepourquoi il ne remplace pas un petit-déjeuner completcomment l'enrichir un peu plus (glycine, collagène, lait végétal…)Produits cités dans cet épisode :Café de lupin : https://go.soulier.xyz/korolupinhuile MCT : https://go.soulier.xyz/koromctProfitez d'une réduction avec le code HAMSTERS5 chez Koro : https://go.soulier.xyz/koro.

Dave Asprey is widely known as “the OG of biohacking”—a visionary entrepreneur, best-selling author, and pioneer who sparked a global movement focused on upgrading human potential. From transforming coffee into a performance-enhancing tool to turning aging into a choice, Asprey has dedicated his life to uncovering the systems and protocols that optimize health, performance, and longevity. Once a successful Silicon Valley computer hacker with a personal health crisis, Dave used his relentless curiosity—and scientific rigor—to create a revolution now valued at $63 billion worldwide. His latest book, Heavily Meditated, delivers a blueprint for mastering mental and emotional resilience to unlock true human potential. Takeaways: You Cannot Hack What You Can't Track: Dave emphasizes the importance of measuring your recovery and performance—using tools like sleep trackers—so you can make meaningful improvements to your health and productivity. Darkness is a Powerful Bio-hack: Simply sleeping in complete darkness—with blackout curtains and no light leaks—can significantly improve sleep quality, boost cognitive function, and reduce risk of depression and aging-related decline. Energetic Peace is Key for Leaders: True leadership and personal growth come from “choosing peace, no matter what.” When you master your emotional state and triggers, you lead your team and yourself with more clarity, resilience, and authentic power. Sound Bites: “Now, you can hack it because you can track it. You cannot hack what you can't track.” “One of the cheapest biohacks of all that improves leadership and performance and longevity in aging is darkness.” “If anything on earth can trigger me, it’s in charge, not me—and that is a very high standard for living.” Quote by Mick: “I feel like sometimes our soul needs to know that we are worthy of the praise that we're getting. And so I want you to know, man, like, you are worthy of all of this praise, brother.” Connect & Discover Dave: Website: https://daveasprey.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Daveaspreyofficial/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dave.asprey/?hl=en TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@daveaspreyofficial YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/DaveAspreyBPR LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/asprey/ Podcast: The Human Upgrade Book: Heavily Meditated FOLLOW MICK ON:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mickunplugged/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mickunplugged/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@mickunplugged LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mickhunt/Website: https://www.mickhuntofficial.com Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mick-unplugged/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The former 300-pound computer hacker turned multi-millionaire entrepreneur reveals how he lost half his body weight, built a £140M company, and why most people are unknowingly sabotaging their success. Asprey's controversial views on supplements, sleep tracking and emotional regulation will either change your life or make you very angry. Dave Asprey REVEALS: The vegan diet is a health scam How your body decides your emotions That all human behaviour follows five F-words: Fear, food, fucking, friend and forgiveness Calories don't make you fat How forgiveness is a biological hack How your energy field controls your company's success How venture capitalists remove your rights and equity bit by bit, always claiming it's for your own good or safety BEST MOMENTS "The vegan diet. Straight up health scam. I was a devout vegan, I became a raw vegan... I lost bone density, I lost muscle, and I finally shattered three teeth." "If I can trigger you, it means you're carrying a loaded gun. If you can be triggered, you are not in charge." "Your job as an entrepreneur... you must be the most regulated, stable, peaceful person in the room all the time." "The biggest lie is that calories count... eat a gram of uranium. It has a million calories. You should get fat. But strangely, they don't get fat." "So I could go from being a fat computer hacker with Asperger's Syndrome into a person who is connected to my emotions" VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter https://robmoore.com/podbooks rob.team Episode Sponsor - AG1 Claim your exclusive offer of AG1 at the link below drinkag1.com/disruptors ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

Welcome everyone to the "Entrepreneur Show", as we have special guest, Dave Asprey, who is known as the father of biohacking and is famous for creating bulletproof coffee and hosting the Bulletproof Radio show, which has now been renamed as the Human Upgrade Podcast. He has made significant changes in his life, losing over 100 pounds and reversing his age by more than 20 years through biohacking. As a successful entrepreneur, he has written bestselling books and created billion-dollar consumer product goods categories such as MCT oil and collagen protein. Dave has also founded a new functional coffee company called Danger Coffee. He openly discusses various topics, including health, consciousness, and psychedelics, and shares his personal journey from struggling with health issues to achieving success through hard work and dedication. So, what is biohacking? Biohacking is the practice of actively changing your environment and biology to take full control of your health and well-being. This includes managing your health, slowing down the aging process, and achieving mental peace by optimizing your body's energy production through environmental adjustments. Dave shared his personal experience of hitting rock bottom despite his professional success. He recounted a moment when his cognitive function was declining. This realization led him to explore smart drugs and nootropics, as well as seek guidance from longevity doctors. Despite his successful tech career, he ventured into blogging and founded a Consumer Packaged Goods company. Asprey's journey is a testament to addressing personal health and well-being even amid professional success while focusing on wellness and redefining longevity and health. Dave highlights the shift in perspective towards health, emphasizing the significance of having control over one's biology and energy. Health should be a priority, especially for entrepreneurs, as it directly impacts their ability to care for their families and pursue their missions. And, of course, taking care of one's health is essential for preventing illness in the future. What started this all? Well, during his studies of meditation in Tibet, he discovered that people often underestimate the importance of prioritizing longevity and health. Ignoring these aspects means operating at only half of one's potential. We discussed using marketing to persuade people of the immediate benefits of prioritizing health and longevity, especially for entrepreneurs. It's about being more present and having more energy in the present moment. Reprogramming all the emotional triggers is possible, but why not regain your energy first? Stop expending energy on thinking about food and dwelling on grudges. Once you've accomplished that, you'll realize that things that seem like major obstacles aren't as daunting. This is an important, cutting-edge strategy for entrepreneurs aiming to build billion-dollar businesses. What is "Danger Coffee" and the philosophy behind it? The concept of "Danger Coffee" stems from a desire for a world full of opportunities rather than safety. The creator encourages people to embrace the things that feel dangerous but are not reckless, emphasizing that all worthwhile endeavors in life involve some level of risk. The message advocates for being energized and proactive, rather than living a life of complacency and weakness. Dave also launched an innovative brain upgrade program known as 40 Years of Zen. This program utilizes EEG neurofeedback to reprogram the brains of entrepreneurs, athletes, and celebrities, aiming to enhance their cognitive abilities. Additionally, he created, Upgrade Labs, which is a company that provides biohacking services, leveraging data and technology to optimize health and performance.

Are you ready to “live beyond 180? That's the tagline of the 10th Annual Biohacking Conference, which went down in Dallas two weeks ago. The brainchild of Dave Asprey, the conference focused on numerous “hacks” to help you live not only longer, but better and longer. This has been a decades-long goal of Asprey, who you might know as the founder of Bulletproof Coffee—you know, despite mountains of clinical evidence stating otherwise, this tech entrepreneur is certain that melting a stick of butter in your coffee every morning is the key to longevity. Was the key, that is. Dave is now behind the supposed “mold-free” coffee company, Danger Coffee, alongside a whole bunch of other sciencey gimmicks, like his “Wasabi Method,” which was launched at the conference. The key to longevity, it seems, is knowing that your sales funnel always depends on there being another key. That's the vibe our returning correspondent, Mallory DeMille, got when reviewing the many reels and videos that surfaced from the conference rooms at the Fairmont Hotel.

There was a time when Dave Asprey wore size 46 pants and weighed more than 300 pounds. Lucky for him, that time is behind him. After struggling for a long time to lose weight and failing at every diet he tried, Asprey realized he had to create his own weight-loss program, one that would tackle his physical and psychological addiction to food. In his quest for a perfect diet, he discovered that fasting was the most effective way to achieve his goals. So, get ready to find out how you too can free yourself from food and all the ways it occupies your mind.
A Note from James:Dave Asprey was this fat aging tech entrepreneur who realized he was going on a bad path and so he completely changed his life around. He kind of went to the scientific sources and did the research himself and practically started the field of biohacking, of doing experiments on himself with his diet, with the supplements, with the devices he uses. And now it's as if he's 20 years younger than he was 20 years ago.He started Bulletproof Coffee, which I'm sure many of you have heard of, and a new coffee company called Danger Coffee. You've probably listened to him on this podcast. And now he just wrote the book Smarter, Not Harder. I'll describe that in a second.I want to tell a story when Dave asked, but he's been on the podcast a bunch of times when he was on in 20, I think it was 2016, it happened to be coincidentally the first day I was trying standup comedy. So at the end of that episode, it might have even been after we shut down the cameras, at the end of that episode, I asked him, "Dave, I'm doing standup comedy for the first time tonight, and I'm really nervous. What's your advice?" I just wanted to, he's a smart guy. I respect him. I just wanted to put him on the spot a little bit and see what his advice would be. And he thought about it for about a second. And then he said, "When you get up there, love your audience." And that is the best advice for a standup comedy that I have ever heard before or since.And it's really worked well for me. And I would say the same holds true when I write, I always love my audience. And when I do public speaking or even this podcast, I always picture in my head loving the audience. So what does Dave write about in Smarter, Not Harder? Well, his very interesting point is that humans, from an evolutionary perspective, should be somewhat lazy.We need to have a lot of energy when our fight or flight reflex triggers. Like when you have to run from the lion that's chasing you, you have to use a lot of energy very quickly. And then, you rest. But Dave's point is that in our society, just staring at screens, we get that fight-and-flight response sitting still.And so our body and mind don't know what's happening. And his argument is the same for exercise. His point is, and he, and you know, we'll see a lot of people are going to have different opinions on this. His point is you might not need to exercise for hours at a time because. That's not what the human body is supposed to do. It exerts itself for very short spurts of time and then rests. So his whole book is kind of his biohack experiments on exercise, sleep, diet, and how you can live your life to perform more optimally. You know, it's an anti-aging book, so it's in that category. We've done a lot of anti-aging.Podcasts and they're always very fascinating to me and I ask him very, very specific questions about food, supplements, and exercise because I always want to know what I should do. The answers are always enlightening. So anyway, once again, here is Dave Asprey. Episode Description:In a comprehensive discussion about biohacking for better health, Dave Asprey, the founder of Bulletproof Coffee and Danger Coffee, shares his journey from overcoming personal health issues to pioneering in the biohacking space.

Dave Asprey is a renowned entrepreneur and author, who has dedicated his life to understanding the complexities of consciousness and how it can be used to enhance our lives. This is why he created the concept of biohacking, which incorporates neuroscience, bodybuilding, and cognitive enhancement. He is a believer in the power of the mind and its influence on reality, and has come up with the concept of the “meat operating system”. This system is a measure of the reaction time of your brain to reality, and most people have a delay of a third of a second before the brain gets the first electrical signal that a sound happened. He also believes that certain things can be manipulated by the body to make them look attractive. Asprey's philosophy on life is to find the best technique and to only work hard if you have the best tools. He believes that in many cases, laziness can be beneficial as it can lead to more efficient ways of doing things. The Meat Operating System and Laziness Principle Dave Asprey believes that laziness is an important part of life. He argues that laziness is not necessarily a bad thing, and is in fact necessary for success. According to Dave, our bodies have evolved to manipulate us into taking the easier path, which explains why it can be so hard to choose the harder one. He believes that our biological system is driven by the desire to conserve energy and avoid suffering. The idea of the "meat operating system" is something Dave talks about a lot. He explains that our brains can measure the reaction time of our brains to reality and that, on average, it takes about a third of a second for the brain to register a sound. This means that there is a delay in how we perceive reality. He goes on to say that this delay can be manipulated by our bodies to make certain things look more attractive or appealing, so that we will act on them. Dave has coined the term "Slope of the Curve Biology" to explain that more isn't necessarily better when it comes to things like weight training and cardio. He believes that intensity is more important than volume, and that the rate at which you turn on and off a stressor is just as important. The idea of laziness is something that Dave has been studying for decades. He believes that it is important to find the best tools for the job, and to only work hard when it is absolutely necessary. He encourages people to be proactive and to find the best path for success rather than relying on hard work alone. Dave Asprey's thoughts on laziness are an interesting take on a commonly misunderstood concept. He encourages us to be mindful, to find the best path for success, and to recognize the importance of laziness in our lives. Spirituality and Physicality in Biohacking According to Dave, biohacking is all about taking control of your biology and improving your performance. This is a process that involves many different aspects, ranging from physical and mental health to cognitive enhancement and even spiritual growth. Dave believes that these different aspects are all connected and that you need to consider them all when looking to improve your overall well-being. The spiritual side of biohacking is often overlooked, but Dave believes that it is essential for achieving true transformation. The spiritual aspect of biohacking involves understanding the body's operating system and its connection to consciousness. He points out that the body's operating system does not understand negatives, and so it is important to focus on the positive aspects of life. He also emphasizes that one of the most important aspects of biohacking is to remove triggers, which can be anything from stress to negative beliefs. This is key in order to sense reality more clearly and accurately. Dave also believes that the spiritual side of biohacking involves understanding the power of attraction. He believes that the body has an innate ability to make certain things look attractive, as this helps with the survival of the species. He notes that this can be seen in the attraction to certain body shapes or curves, and that it is not logical, but rather an instinctive response. Dave also believes that physicality is key when it comes to biohacking, and that the right exercise, nutrition, and supplements are necessary for achieving optimal performance. He recommends taking anti-aging techniques and using them in combination with cognitive enhancement, neuroscience, and bodybuilding, in order to get the best results. He also encourages people to put the right mitochondrial formulas in place in order to create energy, and to be mindful of the fact that our bodies are designed to conserve energy in order to survive. The future of Biohacking and AI Dave also believes that the future of biohacking and AI is a bright one. Asprey believes that with the advances in technology and the growing interest in biohacking, new opportunities are opening up for people to explore and improve their lives. With AI, he sees the potential to further optimize and automate processes, allowing people to work smarter, not harder. Asprey also believes that biohacking and AI are closely intertwined, and that understanding and harnessing this relationship is key to unlocking the potential of both. He believes that AI can be used to help people identify their triggers and shut them down, so they can better recognize their intuition and figure things out more quickly. In addition, Asprey believes that AI can help people better understand their own consciousness and the consciousness of the world around them.

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™... a look into the story of the human mind wonders if you're just a machine made of meat. Guest Paul Bloom, a researcher, teacher and author, studies adult and child development in terms of how people make sense of the world. It turns out that there are all kinds of automated systems in your body that are making sense of the world for you and after they do that, they give you a picture of the world. The interesting part is that picture may be more or less accurate based on a lot of things that are part of your programming.Paul is a professor of Psychology at the University of Toronto and professor emeritus of Psychology at Yale University. He teaches a popular “Intro to Psychology” class that he turned into his seventh book, called: “Psych: The Story of the Human Mind.”Because he studies psychology at so many different levels, he brings new knowledge and new synthesis of ideas to the discussion of the human mind. Topics range from consciousness to ChatGPT and BDSM, from whether you have a soul or if you can attain happiness. Paul's writing and lectures show how psychology can give us practical insights into important issues. He addresses the treatment of mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety and the best way to lead a fulfilling life. This episode and his new book guide you through the most important topic there is: the story of you and your mind.Watch this episode on YouTube!WE APPRECIATE OUR PARTNERS. CHECK THEM OUT!

That would've been really, really helpful cuz I was toiling under the mindset that I had to do everything myself because no one would help me or wanted to help me.” -Dave Asprey “When you look at the human body, there is probably a separate intelligence running your meat, that is not you and is faster than you! -Dave Asprey “There is no one who wants to be healthy as their first thing except people who are incredibly sick like I was when I had chronic fatigue. When you can't get out of bed because you're sick, when you think you might die, that's when you want your health back.” -Dave Asprey “When you really learn how to manifest what you're doing is, you're interfacing with your operating system and you're getting in alignment and you're telling it that it is safe and should expect to see something, and when it expects to see something, it will see it and when it sees it, it's real.” -Dave Asprey “Your immune cells the mast cells, they're looking for potential threats and when they find one they explode and release all sorts of mitochondrial signaling molecules called inflammatory cytokines, so if you were to just look at mast cells and look at mitochondrial function, you would solve about 90% of what's going on in medicine.” -Dave Asprey This episode of IMPACT was brought to you by Practice Better.

Maybe we have it all wrong. Maybe we are overdoing it, especially as it relates to things like exercise. Should we tap into the “power of laziness?” In Dave Asprey's new book, SMARTER NOT HARDER: The Biohacker's Guide to Getting the Body and Mind you Want, Asprey makes a compelling point that indeed less may be more. He describes how we live in a time where we finally have such a level of understanding of human physiology that we are indeed able to hack into ancient pathways to bring about health and vitality by implementing knowledge based interventions. The approaches he describes go well beyond simply engaging in very short burst of high intensity activity, but also include important nutritional recommendations, and even ways hack the brain using exciting new technologies. As always, I do enjoy my time with Dave Asprey. The conclusions he reaches are always based upon a deep level of exploration and always seem valuable. ==== Timestamps: 0:00 Intro 2:27 The Power of Laziness 7:58 What DOESN'T Work 12:06 Metrics & Data 15:11 Increasing Energy/ Motivation 17:30 Phytic Acid 21:15 Oxalic Acid 24:07 Night Shades & Fermented Foods 28:15 Danger of Imitation Meat Products 32:00 Fat Consumption 38:36 Supplements 42:01 Enhancing the Brain & Vision 57:09 Conclusion ==== Dave Asprey is an acclaimed entrepreneur, four-time New York Times best-selling science author, host of the top 100 podcast, The Human Upgrade, and CEO of Upgrade Labs.

What you'll learn in this episode: What it means to be a personal jeweler, and how Jessica helps repurpose people's unworn jewelry How Jessica came up with the idea for her podcast, Inside the Jewel Vault What pieces Jessica would include in her fantasy jewel vault Why wearing jewelry connects us to our humanity Why Jessica is creating a gender-fluid jewelry brand About Jessica Collins Jessica Cadzow-Collins fell in love with jewelry and gems aged 18, whilst working as an intern at Sotheby's, and trained as a professional gemmologist. For over 30 years since then, she's held senior roles in fine jewelry at luxury retailers such as Harrods, Garrard and Asprey where she helped all kinds of amazing clients with their precious pieces, from tiaras to engagement rings, all over the world. Jessica is now a personal jeweler. She started a business, Jessica May Jewels, to help people find their dream designs and remodel their unworn pieces. Using her high-jewelry know-how, she creates bespoke pieces that don't compromise on luxury, quality, service, value or ethics. Photos available on TheJewelryJourney.com Additional Resources: Instagram Facebook LinkedIn Website Jessica's article on the Koh-i-Noor 'Curse or Blessing' Transcript: When Jessica Cadzow-Collins isn't designing jewelry, repurposing her clients' old jewelry, or developing her own line of jewelry, she's talking to people about jewelry on her podcast, Inside the Jewel Vault. A lifelong jewelry lover, Jessica joined the Jewelry Journey Podcast to talk about what it means to be a personal jeweler; what she would include in her fantasy jewel vault; and why wearing jewelry is distinctly human. Read the episode transcript here. Sharon: Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Jewelry Journey Podcast. This is the second part of a two-part episode. If you haven't heard part one, please head to TheJewelryJourney.com. Today, my guest is Jessica Cadzow-Collins speaking to us from London. She is the founder and designer of Jessica May Jewels. She is also the creator and host of the podcast Inside the Jewel Vault. Welcome back. If you're at a party, how do you describe what you do? If somebody says, “What do you do,” what do you say? Jessica: At the moment, I say I'm a personal jeweler and I can make your jewelry wearable or make it new or make the jewels of your dreams. That's what I say if I'm asked what I do. [REPEAT OF ENDING OF PART ONE] Sharon: What's kept your attention about jewelry for decades? What's kept your attention? Jessica: It's the connections. It's the story. It's everything that ripples below a piece of jewelry. It could be a treasured gift that reminds you of the people that gave it to you. It could remind you that you're loved, that somebody loves you for it. For instance, I wear my signet ring my father gave me. Actually, it's not a proper signet ring. You can see it's just a pinky ring, but that was me being different when I was 18. Every time I put that on in the morning, I think of my father and my connection with him. It could be a piece you bought yourself to celebrate an achievement or a promotion, something that celebrates a brighter goal or future you're dreaming of. There are all of these things connected with a piece of jewelry, and when I'm involved in creating that piece or selling that piece or finding that piece for somebody, I feel a little part of that story as well. That's what I love. The other thing that is so special about jewelry is it's not like a piece of fashion or an accessory. These are pieces that endure, that will travel with you all your life. Then one day it will travel along with somebody else, which I think is so special. Sharon: It is special, especially when you look at an estate piece or an antique piece that's been owned by several people. You want to know the story behind it. Jessica: Oh, absolutely. I love those stories. Sometimes I've recreated them into a piece. For instance, for one lady, I had three diamond rings that had been worn by her grandmother, her mother and herself in her previous marriage. She wanted to combine all of these symbols of strength, these symbols of strong women in her life, and turn them into a ring for her right hand. It was a power ring. That was a wonderful thing to do. Each gem was a different style of cut. Her grandmother's ring was an old mine cut, a rather brilliant cut. Then she had an oval cut in her own engagement ring, so they're all totally different. I created a rough mount around the ring for her, which was really unusual and really suited her. She was from this strong line of Caribbean women. She was a wonderful client to work with. All my clients are wonderful because they have their own stories and their own futures as well. I love my job, as you can tell. Sharon: I can tell. Do you ever feel stymied, like, “What am I going to do with this?” Jessica: Yes, sometimes I do. What I tend to do is say, “Look, I need a week or so and I'll get back to you.” When you've got a little problem, and you let it sit there and play around in your mind, quite often—I don't know about you, Sharon, but I find just before I go to sleep is the time when my brain sends me all the pictures of things I should be designing or need to design. That's my good time. Quite often I will see the piece in my mind's eye. Then I just need to sketch it and work on it with the CAD artist I use and we're off. Sharon: Have you ever presented something and people said, “That's not really what we had in mind”? Or do people not know what they have in mind? Jessica: Yeah, people are different, aren't they? Some people are really good at taking a sketch off the page and seeing it and playing with it in their mind's eye and turning it into 3D. Other people, you have to do a full-on set of renders of different pieces, which is brilliant because 3D technology is so good now. I can send them a 3D CAD so they can touch the screen on their phone. In fact, I've done that for an engaged couple. He wanted to propose to his girlfriend, and we didn't have time to go around and find the right diamond and sketch out the right mount and everything. So, we adapted a CAD sketch I already had and tweaked it to make it into something he thought she would want. He proposed with it on his phone. That was the best; I loved that. It was a digital proposal, and she said yes. He didn't need to change it that much. That was certainly a wonderful way of doing things. You see, anything is possible. Sharon: It is possible. I like that term, digital proposal. I bet that's a term you can coin and do something with. I've never heard it before. Can you imagine life without jewelry? Jessica: No, Sharon, I can't. I'm sure you know this, Sharon, but humans are the only beings on the planet that have draped themselves in things they find attractive. If you go back all the way to early man's beginnings, 90,000 years ago in the Blombos Caves in South Africa, you find pieces of jewelry that are made from shells from the coast a few miles away from where the cave system was. It's a deeply human need, I think, to carry something that gives you good luck, like an amulet, or makes you special. It could just be because these people find something lovely on a beach and think it's beautiful, and they want to carry it with them. It's such a human thing. I personally can't imagine a life without some sort of jewelry. Sharon: Do you think people want jewelry, or do they come to you because they want something valuable or sentimental? What do you see on your podcast? Jessica: The most valuable vault from the podcast was by Josie Goodbody. She had the Red Moussaieff Diamond in there, which is probably one of the most expensive gems on the planet. Arguably, there are some in the Smithsonian Museum in Washington that could be also. I've also been lucky enough to go around the treasury in the Kremlin. That's closed to westerners now, obviously. That was a staggering display of gems. There are some stupendous pieces in people's choices. That's the fun of it; it's a game. The podcast is a game. Select six pieces you would put into a fantasy jewel vault. I wonder, Sharon, what you would put in. Sharon: I don't know. That's an interesting question. I would throw the question back at you. You ask everybody in the world what's inside their jewel vault. Jessica: I haven't asked you, but there you go. I have now asked you, so maybe you can tell me what you want. I definitely like the Moussaieff Red as well. Alisa Moussaieff was my boss for a short while, and she's an amazing connoisseur of gems and the very best of the best you can find. Goodness knows what she's got in her own personal safe, her private safe. I love color. I love diamonds, so when you put the two together in a spectacular large stone like the five carats the Moussaieff Red is, that would be something else. I've never seen it in the flesh, but I'd love to. I think the other piece I would want is the Koh-i-Noor, the diamond that's in the Queen Consort's crown. We're going to see a lot of that in May during the coronation here in Britain. The Koh-i-Noor has a fantastically tangled, bloody history. It really is the gem of kings. I would love to have it, but not the way it was cut by Prince Albert in 1852. I'd want it cut in the traditional Indian rose style so it would look like a mountain. So, there's those two. There was a sea green diamond I bought early on in the 90s, before colored diamonds were a big thing. It was very inexpensive at the time. It was probably around 10,000£ or so, and I knew I could sell it for a better price in New York. I flew with it over the Atlantic to New York to sell it there. It was so valuable we had to insure it. Our insurers wouldn't let me travel without an armed bodyguard when I got to New York. Remember, New York was quite a scary place in the 90s, especially if you were young and female and carrying a large amount of goods. My insurance company insisted on having an armed bodyguard, so I asked my friends in the trade how to find an armed bodyguard when I went to New York with this diamond. They said, “Phone the NYPD. There's always an off-duty detective who can act as an armed bodyguard.” I did that, and when I flew over with this sea-green diamond and landed at the customs desk on entry, there were these bodyguards who looked just out of central casting. These off-duty NYPD officers were chewing their gum with their hats on and holding a paper cup for coffee. I got into their car and we set off. I said, “So, which one of you is packing the piece?” The smaller of the two said, “I'm not, but he is.” My bodyguard had an armed bodyguard. So, I left the sea-green diamond there in New York. I flew back without any bodyguards, but that was so much fun. The sea-green diamond was the most beautiful color. It sold for a fortune. I would love that stone because it's my fantasy. I would love to have that stone. So, those are my three. Sharon: That sounds gorgeous. Jessica: It was the most beautiful color, quite indescribable, really. Sea green is the best I can come up with. It was quite a big stone. It was just under five carats and a radiant cut. It was just gorgeous. Sharon: That's an interesting question. I was thinking about what I would choose. I wouldn't choose very many gems. I love color, but if I think about my own jewelry, I'm not a gem person. I think somebody once said, “What can you say about a gem? You could say it's big; it's large, it's this cut; it's that cut. Where is the artistry?” Jessica: I know what you mean, yes. That's a good point. There is artistry in how you would set it. For me, it would be fun to look at this stone and think of all the things you could do with it. Sharon: Have you ever had somebody come and say, “Just do whatever you want with this jewel. I don't like any of the jewels in this jewel box. Just do what you want. My mother-in-law gave me this stuff and I just don't like it. Do whatever you want, however you think it should be”? Jessica: Yes, sometimes ladies say that. More often than not, there will be something obvious you could do with it—well, something obvious to me. Probably not obvious to them at all, because they look at me and say, “Can we make a pair of earrings out of this brooch?” But I had a lovely customer just last month who had a number of antique pieces, including a big diamond brooch she never wore because most people don't wear brooches anymore. She also had a big cluster ring she never wore either. There's no money in these big brooches, so I literally cut up the brooch into a pair of detachable drop earrings. Out of the cluster ring, we made a negligée pendant with the rest of the brooch, and it really worked. So, out of two pieces of jewelry she never wore and one that was really worth nothing—even the secondhand market isn't that good for these brooches—she had something she could wear, and it looked amazing on her. Should she ever want to put the pendant drop into a ring again, she can easily do that because all we did was carefully slice the shank off the band and leave the head intact. Although she couldn't put the brooch back together, I can't imagine the brooch ever being worn again as a brooch. It was a big Victorian lump of a thing. So, she was thrilled by that. I did a number of other little things for her as well. She completely transformed her jewel box into pieces she could wear and have fun with now. Sharon: You must have been ecstatic. Jessica: Yeah, she's very happy. It's nice. What I love is seeing people's snaps. She sends a couple of pictures when she's all dressed up in new jewels, and that's always fun. I love working with young girls. I've done a dozen rings for people who've inherited their granny's jewelry, and it's really fun for these girls in their teens and early 20s to be designing jewelry. It's such a fun thing to do, isn't it? Sharon: Is it because they come with more of an idea when they're younger? Or can you turn it into something you relate to more? What is it? Jessica: It's making something for them that will be with them forever, that they can hold every day and think about. It's a little bit of them and a little bit of the past all in one piece. I find that very invigorating. Sharon: What do you like about being a podcaster? What holds your attention there? Is it finding guests? Is it the human connection? Jessica: I think you're absolutely right, Sharon. It's definitely the human connection. Tell me, is the reason you do your podcast so that you can chat with people? Sharon: I like the term you used, passion project. It's a passion project. It's the same thing you're saying. What reason do these people have to talk to me, really? It's a passion project. I think that confuses people because I don't have a jewelry store; I'm not a designer; I don't have a brand. Tell us about the brand you're developing. Is it a Jessica-made brand? Jessica: No, it has its own name. That's the amazing thing, Sharon. I'll start at the beginning. The reason it's coming together is because enough of my friends said to me, “I'm looking for a gift or something for me, but I don't want to spend half a year's salary. I want to spend a few hundred pounds, but I want something that's going to last. I don't want to buy plated jewelry, like all those other repetitive designs out there online. I want something that's quality, something you could make me, Jess. Something top-rated, top quality, built to last but beautifully designed and completely different from everything else.” So, I thought, “Well, enough of them have asked me to do this for them.” I felt we could have a business here. So, I've been putting together this brand. It is taking a very long time because I want all the sourcing to be transparent and totally traceable. I want these things that are at the top of my agenda, the ethical, sustainable sourcing story, to be very clear. I think that is the foundation the brand needs to sit on because my customers for this brand are younger people. They're younger men and women who are looking for jewels that reflect their own spirit, something that's different, bold, contemporary and made with fine jewels, fine materials, fine metals. The bit I'm adding to it is the fact that everything is ethically sourced. Sharon: Wow! That's a lot. You have to really think about the pricing and who's going to produce it. Between launching your own business and the podcast and everything, has it allowed your inner entrepreneur to blossom? Jessica: I love it, Sharon, thank you. An inner entrepreneur. Yes, I suppose so. For so many years, I was working for other brands. Now I have to dig deep and create a brand from nothing. It isn't going to be named after me. It has a name we're still working on. It's a strong name. It's got a story behind it. As soon as I'm ready with it, I will tell you, Sharon. Sharon: Yes, I'd love that. When do you expect to launch this? Jessica: We'll do a soft launch in the late spring. I was hoping to get some pieces ready for a launch on International Women's Day, but it's also a brand for kids. I have two sons. My eldest son is quite conservative; he just wears a signet ring, but my youngest son loves jewelry. He wants new pieces. He wants an index finger ring; he wants a pearl necklace. So, it's a multipurpose jewelry line, and it can be worn by girls and boys. I want a few pieces I can launch in the spring. It was going to be launched on International Women's Day, but because of the gender-fluid aspect of it, that's not that appropriate. It doesn't matter if it launches a bit later, so long as I've got a few pieces that will do the brand justice. I don't have to have all the pieces out at the same time. That can come as months roll by, but I'm very much hoping I'll have some pieces for the spring. Sharon: Wow! We're at the end of 2022 right now. You must be very busy. I know it's a very busy time of year. It's hard to get ahold of guests and that sort of thing. Are you busy with a lot of people coming to you? Jessica: Yes. I don't know how to say it, but it is Christmas, so it's crazy. The thing I love about Christmas is that it's a date we all know. Sharon: Yeah, that's true. Jessica: It's at the same time every year, yet these last few days before Christmas are bonkers. It's just hilarious. So, yeah, I'm working through the night and through the weekend. Finally, I'll pack up my digital shop and take a long break for Christmas and New Year's. Sharon: I would guess that people say at the last minute, “Oh my gosh, I have to get something. I'd better talk to Jessica about designing something because I don't have anything.” Jessica: There's nothing I can do now about designing something new, but I've definitely got some pieces that have longer delays than I would have liked, or people have thought of them a little bit too late ahead of time for me to be totally relaxed about it. I've got some last-minute orders that are still in the workshop that I need to get out within the next couple of days. Here in the U.K., we've been blighted by rail strikes and tube strikes and post strikes, every sort of strike. So, we've had to be quite inventive. I feel like a little human shuttle darting around with jewels. Sharon: It must be very challenging. Good luck. I will let you get back to your drawing and everything else you have to do for the holidays. Thank you so much for being with us today. I really appreciate it. Jessica: Sharon, it's been a joy. It's been so nice speaking to you. I'm so honored to be a guest on your show. Thank you very much for asking me. Sharon: We will have photos posted on the website. Please head to TheJewelryJourney.com to check them out. Thank you again for listening. Please leave us a rating and review so we can help others start their own jewelry journey.
What you'll learn in this episode: What it means to be a personal jeweler, and how Jessica helps repurpose people's unworn jewelry How Jessica came up with the idea for her podcast, Inside the Jewel Vault What pieces Jessica would include in her fantasy jewel vault Why wearing jewelry connects us to our humanity Why Jessica is creating a gender-fluid jewelry brand About Jessica Collins Jessica Cadzow-Collins fell in love with jewelry and gems aged 18, whilst working as an intern at Sotheby's, and trained as a professional gemmologist. For over 30 years since then, she's held senior roles in fine jewelry at luxury retailers such as Harrods, Garrard and Asprey where she helped all kinds of amazing clients with their precious pieces, from tiaras to engagement rings, all over the world. Jessica is now a personal jeweler. She started a business, Jessica May Jewels, to help people find their dream designs and remodel their unworn pieces. Using her high-jewelry know-how, she creates bespoke pieces that don't compromise on luxury, quality, service, value or ethics.

A lifelong jewelry lover, Jessica joined the Jewelry Journey Podcast to talk about what it means to be a personal jeweler; what she would include in her fantasy jewel vault; and why wearing jewelry is distinctly human. Read the episode transcript here. Sharon: Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Jewelry Journey Podcast. This is the first part of a two-part episode. Please make sure you subscribe so you can hear part two as soon as it's released later this week. Today, my guest is Jessica Cadzow-Collins speaking to us from London. She is the founder and designer of Jessica May Jewels. She is also the creator and host of the podcast Inside the Jewel Vault. She's a gemologist and a designer, and she has worked with many well-known jewelry houses. Jessica, welcome to the program. Jessica: Thank you so much for having me, Sharon. It's so lovely to be your guest. It's nice to be on the other side of the process instead of being a host for a change. Sharon: Tell us about your jewelry journey. When you were a child, were you interested? Were you artistic? Jessica: Yes, I was artistic. I was also quite academic. I was an all-arounder. I grew up in Scotland. I was educated in Edinburgh, and I had my heart set on being an art dealer as a teenager. That's what I wanted to do more than anything. So, as soon as I could, I got into my old, beaten VW and drove all the way from Edinburgh to Florence. I stayed with the Prince and Princess Corsini as their paying guest, and I did studies in Italian and history of art. Luckily, I managed to win a job as an intern at Sotheby's. I had a very menial job filing, but the desk next to mine was the jewelry expert's. She would value the pieces that came into the Florence office, and I would send them to London if they were good, or New York if they were very good, or they'd go onto Rome. That is how I got into jewelry. It was so amazing seeing these piles of new pieces. Every day fresh pieces would come in, and we would stand and talk about the age of them, the condition, the composition, and the gems. She said, “You shouldn't do paintings. You shouldn't be an art dealer. You should do this.” So, I did. I phoned my father that evening and said, “I'm going to London. I'm going to study gemology,” because that is what she told me she had done. So, there it was. It was just fate. Sharon: You were an art history student and then you went into jewelry? Jessica: Yes, that is the way it worked. Sharon: There are not that many courses for jewelry history except gemology. Tell us about that. Jessica: I went to London. What I loved about studying gemology was it was glamorous and academic and unusual. None of my friends were doing it. At the time, the only course I could take was in London, in the city. It was night school. I was only 18 at the time. I was studying gemology at night, and I had to get a job in the day. So, I won a job again. It was a long process, but I got a job basically as a tea girl. I was in the trading department of this old jewelers on Bond Street called Collingwood. Really, from the get-go, I was expected to trade. I was trading loose stones and antique period jewelry. I would take a bag of jewels and go to Miami and New York and Boston, all over Europe, trading, buying and selling jewels for a 10% profit or whatever, just as an antique dealer would. I wasn't a very good dealer, I have to say. I was too keen on being able to sleep at night and a bit too fair to be a very good dealer. That's how I ended up in retail in the end. Sharon: You say it's glamorous. I don't understand why gemology or gems are glamorous. Jessica: Oh, it is. I loved it, absolutely loved it, because I was surrounded by gems in my day job, and in the evening, I was understanding how they were formed in the earth's crust and the processes they take to go from the mine to the market. It was fascinating. I absolutely loved the whole world. I've been very happy in this world now for 34 years—no, 35 years. I was definitely in the right job. Sharon: But you said you couldn't sleep at night because you wanted to make sure everybody was treated fairly. Jessica: I think a really good dealer would need to be a little bit sharp. I think I was a bit too concerned about being fair. Sharon: Most of the time, dealers say they have a hard time letting go of the things they acquire. Jessica: Yes, I know that feeling, but this is perhaps why the job I do is perfect. I'm making something for someone. When they're happy and their face lights up, you know you've done a good job. That's a joy. That's the thing I love most. Sharon: So, people come to you to have things designed, or do you design them and put them out? Jessica: That's right. That's what I do now, but most of my career I was running departments or boutiques on Bond Street for all the first-class brands, especially those with royal service like Asprey and Garrard. That was my world. Sharon: Wow! When did you decide to go out on your own? What was the catalyst for that? Jessica: It was perfect. I had just begun a new project, a very exciting major project, and then Covid came and everything went dead. My new job collapsed. It just fell in on itself. I think that was the catalyst for me saying, “Well, do you know what? This is the sign to set up my own business I've been waiting for. Let's just get on with it.” So, it all kicked off during Covid at the same time as starting the podcast. Sharon: So, that was the catalyst. Jessica: Yes. Sharon: Covid was the catalyst. Jessica: Yes. I seized the opportunity, because suddenly the whole world seemed in flux. It was an exciting time if you could seize that wave and roll with it and see where you went. I must say I've been very happy working for myself as my own boss ever since. Sharon: So, the podcast is Inside the Jewel Vault. Jessica: Yes. Sharon: Tell us about it. It's so different. Did it take you a while to come up with the name? Tell us, what does the podcast entail? Jessica: Thank you for mentioning the podcast. It is a passion project of mine. It was during Covid. It was shortly after the first spring lockdown in 2020. I'm lucky I have friends who are very talented, including my neighbor, Lizzie Wingham. She's a digital editor who's worked for the BBC. She's very well regarded, and she has an interest in jewelry herself. I was talking to her over the garden fence, and she said, “I've been looking, and there are no podcasts on the subject of jewelry that really spark my imagination as a specialist. Jessie, you should do one,” and I said, “Oh, my goodness, I've never done a podcast in my life. I have no idea what to do.” She said, “Well, I'll help you. I'll be your producer.” The tea ended and the wine came out, and we began a project. The idea for the format is just to ask our guests questions. The guests are drawn from across the jewelry world. They're people who have good stories to tell, obviously, but are exceptional in their own field. When you start to look at the world of jewelry, it's huge. There are not only designers, but there are scholars; there are dealers; there are minerologists; there are curators. The list is so huge. That's how it all came about. The idea was to ask these people to come up with six gems. They could be ones they've worked with. They could be ones they've owned themselves or handled, or maybe handled once and then lost. They could just be pieces they lust after. It's like the jewelry equivalent of Desert Island Discs, which is a very popular BBC radio show. Sharon: What is it called? Jessica: It's called Desert Island Discs. It's one of the staple BBC radio shows in the U.K. So, we just got started, and it was a wonderful excuse for me to speak to some of my heroes. We've uncovered all sorts of ancient gold and royal gems and fabulously valuable diamonds and goodness knows what else. Lizzie's job is to turn all of those recordings I enjoy doing into produced and intelligent podcasts that follow a good line. That's what we've been doing. Sharon: The name is such an unusual idea, Inside the Jewel Vault. Did you come up with it over wine, or did you have to really think about it? Tell us how you did it. Jessica: After a glass of wine, certainly. Good ideas seem very compelling then, don't they? It just came about while we were chatting about it. As I said, it sort of follows the format of Desert Island Discs, where you speak to a guest. In that radio show, they select eight tracks or pieces of music that mean something to them, whereas we are selecting six gems or jewels that really turn them on. Sharon: How often do you have a new episode—I call it an episode—or a new person? Jessica: I don't do this full time. It's not a well-oiled machine like yours, Sharon, I'm afraid. You've done nearly 200, I think, over the last four years, haven't you? Whereas I've only done about 40. There are a couple more in the can waiting for approval and final edits, but we're a bit slower off the mark than you are, Sharon. Sharon: How do you choose a guest, first of all? You must know so many people. How do you choose the guest? Jessica: I have to admit that I don't know the guests. Quite often it's a cold call or a cold email, I suppose. They're somebody who is lighting up their own corner of the world of jewelry. I've yet to ask an auctioneer; I've yet to ask a foreign collector; I've yet to ask all sorts of people on my dream list. 2023 will be the year I start sending out these cold emails again. Sharon: What's the reaction you get when you ask a guest to be on Inside the Jewel Vault? How much time do you give them? It can take a while. Jessica: It's entirely down to the guest. Most people are so busy, especially the people that I've been speaking to. They tend to fly around the world as it has opened up. When I first started, it was rather easy because people were sitting at home. They were able to sit by their laptop and start typing, and everyone got so good at Zoom. It's a bit harder to track people down and to twist their arm enough for them to tell me what six pieces they would put into their fantasy jewel vault, but it is great fun. I love doing it. Sharon: It sounds wonderful. I've listened to it and it's very interesting. The guests you choose, is it because they do something original or they're well-known? You could always choose a diamond dealer. You don't, but how do you choose a guest? Jessica: That's a really good idea, Sharon. I must speak to a diamond dealer. That's one I haven't spoken to yet. I have a set of running lists that I keep adding to. It's just finding the opportunity to approach people. It's very much a passion project, but I must admit it: I do need to give it a bit more time and attention. I think we only manage about one a month at the moment, and it's quite a slow process. I need to work a bit harder on it, but there's always so much to do. That's my excuse. I'm always so busy looking after my clients, making their pieces. Also, I'm about to launch my own brand, which is taking up an awful lot of time. It's very exciting, but also very hard work. Sharon: So, you have your own jewelry brand in addition to retail stores. Tell us how you work right now. Jessica: At the moment, I'm a personal jeweler, which means I take care of people's pieces. I can repair or upgrade their existing pieces or entirely start again from scratch. I make engagement rings. I make new pieces out of old pieces. It's really down to the customer. Quite often, people come to me with their jewelry box and say, “I hardly wear any of these pieces, but so-and-so gave me this and my mother-in-law gave me that. I can't get rid of them, but I don't wear them. What do we do with them?” I'll transform them into pieces they can wear and absolutely love wearing, pieces that are adaptable and suit their lifestyle. I help people with all sorts of things, from signet rings from their 18th birthday to their first diamond pieces in their 20s through to push presents and all the rest of it. Everything a person would do, I do, and I love that. Sharon: How do people learn about your services? Jessica: It's word of mouth and the fabulous Google. I don't do any advertising. It just seems to be luck that people find me through searching or asking. Sharon: Your website is very nice and clean and easy to read. Your LinkedIn is also. I think it's great what you're saying. If I were looking for an original jeweler, if I were looking for an engagement ring, I might go to you and say, “I have no idea, and I have no stone or anything.” What would you do? Jessica: If it was for you, then it makes it a whole lot easier. Sometimes I have to work with the groom or friends of the bride to be. We have to work out what she loves. Sometimes it's crystal clear because she's seen a ring that is her dream ring. Actually, a lot of brides do get involved in designing their dream rings. Occasionally I've done some complete, total surprise dream rings, and they've been wonderful to do. For others I've worked very closely with the couple, and we produce something together that encapsulates their unique love for each other and their story and all their hopes and dreams. It's the most wonderful process. Sharon: That's a lot to have in one ring, a lot to communicate in one piece of jewelry. Tell us what's been the most surprising with Inside the Jewel Vault when people come to you. What are the surprises you've had, things that have been different? Jessica: Oh, gosh! I've had such a broad array of different guests. I think any of the pieces Darren Hildrow chose are quite extraordinary. He chose a piece you wouldn't normally consider a piece of jewelry. It was more like a piece of body art, to be honest. Sharon: What's his name? I haven't heard of this person. Jessica: He's a jewelry entrepreneur called Darren Hildrow, and he chose one piece that was extraordinary. It's called Rocket Man by Walter van Beirendonck, which is more like a piece of body art. That was pretty surprising. Some of the guests have chosen stunning pieces that everyone would know of, but other guests have chosen pieces that are by smaller designers. That's always fascinating to hear. We did a lovely broadcast with the GIA's field gemologist in Bangkok, Wim Vertriest, and he chose some amazing gems that he had stories of throughout his career. The wonderful thing about gems and jewels is that there are stories attached to almost everything. It's the human connection that makes jewelry so special. I think the Rocket Man was the most unusual case, but everything else is particularly special because it does have a story. Sharon: I'm curious if people ask you if you look at it differently because of your background. You're Scottish from Edinburgh, and then you went to Italy. You must speak Italian. Do people ask if you have a different perspective than somebody like me who just grew up and went to school and that's it? Jessica: I'm sure that's not the case, Sharon. You've spoken to hundreds of people in your career now. It's the joy of hearing somebody else's point of view, somebody else's story, somebody else's jokes. There's always an opportunity to learn from people, don't you think? Sharon: Yes, that's why I'm asking. If you're at a party, how do you describe what you do? If somebody says, “What do you do,” what do you say? Jessica: At the moment, I say I'm a personal jeweler and I can make your jewelry wearable or make it new or make the jewels of your dreams. That's what I say if I'm asked what I do. Sharon: We will have photos posted on the website. Please head to the JewelryJourney.com to check them out.
IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™… you'll meet Robert Waldinger, M.D., who leads an extraordinary scientific study on happiness that's still going strong after eight decades. The study set out to understand human health by what made people thrive.Since 1938, the Harvard Study of Adult Development has tracked two groups of men and their families with the goal of discovering what really makes for a good life. Along the way, thousands of questions were asked, and hundreds of measurements were taken—from brain scans to blood work. Three strong themes emerged from the study: Social connections are really good for you. Loneliness kills.It's the quality of your close relationships that matters.Good close relationships don't just protect your body, they protect your brain.Dr. Waldinger combined those lifelong case studies with modern psychological research in his new book, co-authored with Marc Schulz, Ph.D., “The Good Life: Lessons from the World's Longest Scientific Study of Happiness." This discussion gives you real-life tools to hack your happiness. You'll learn things like:how relationships improve your physical, mental and emotional health. (More than you know!)how to evaluate the effect of your relationships on your well-being. (Don't be dragged down.)what social fitness is and how to practice it. (Yes, it's a flex.)ways to enliven and energize your relationships. (Energy totally matters.)why casual and work relationships matter more than you think. (A surprisingly big contribution.)Watch this episode on YouTube!Don't Miss This!

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™… Humble The Poet joins the show to talk about a unique perspective on love. You'll learn:what “real” love means (hint: it's not found or earned) and how to recognize it in your life. how to shift away from a mindset of earning more, achieving more, and gaining more attention so you can clear pathways for love to enter and flourish in your lifehow to ditch restrictive “resolutions” (that fail more often than they succeed) and instead set intentions that allow you more freedom to love yourself and others.This Canadian-born rapper, spoken-word artist, poet and international bestselling author began reciting spoken word poetry in coffee shops more than a decade ago. That creative outlet turned into an adventure that crossed genres, mediums and oceans. His style stimulates audiences with ideas that challenge conventional wisdom. His first two books, “Unlearn” & “Things Nobody Can Teach Us” became international bestsellers. His newest book focuses on self love, love for others, defining love in a different way, and how to ease up on expectations that may be holding you back: “How to Be Love(d): Simple Truths for Going Easier on Yourself, Embracing Imperfection & Loving Your Way to a Better Life.” “I'm writing this because I'm desperate,” he says in the book. “Desperate to realize love, accept love, and learn how I keep f**king it up.”Watch this episode on YouTube!WE APPRECIATE OUR PARTNERS.

Show Notes The changing landscape in BioHacking: We don't get enough results from bad advice, not because we're not doing enough. Biofeedback is a major part of biohacking. What's hot from the 8th Biohacking Conference It's not just the knowledge but also who's delivering it. Because it's a community. At the Conference, you get to experience the technologies. Doctor V x BioHacking Conference: Science of biohacking + art of living = How you live your life changes your genetic expression. The art of living a beautiful life upgrades your biology and activates the biology of longevity. Epigenetics is built into the definition of Biohacking. Biohacking is not just technology. It's actually changing the environment to change biological expression. Being lit up is good for you and your genes. Being playful and having humor are anti-aging. What biohacking is building: It's our natural state to have more than enough. Being enough is a sign of fear. So quit wanting to be enough, because you're way more than enough.

What do they know and what are they doing that you can possibly entertain doing for yourself?Dave Asprey may remind you of the Bulletproof Diet, and you may be familiar with him from his podcast, The Human Upgrade, but he's also a successful entrepreneur several times over. In this episode he and Tom cover Dave's expansive breadth of knowledge around health, fasting, and living as long as possible, while getting into top level insights of what it means to be a game changer in business.“You must build practices that prevent you from falling prey to those basic instincts that make you a short-term thinker.” -Dave AspreyYour health should be one of your highest priorities. Dave reminds us to keep it simple and be mindful that even small changes can have major benefits in the long run, and when you're ready to take those benefits to the next level, there is always another simple change to be made to your lifestyle, diet and habits that will optimize your health.SHOW NOTES:0:00 | Introduction to Dave Asprey0:12 | How to Fast Correctly25:10 | Fix Your Diet Today44:24 | How to Burn Fat & End Cravings1:05:34 | Watch This to Live Longer1:30:48 | Bonus: Boost Brain HealthQUOTES:“You lose weight faster when you're fasting, but you gain weight faster when you're eating.” [10:39]“Fasting everyday is bad for you because it doesn't lend your body the idea of metabolic flexibility.” [24:22]“If you're intermittent fasting, you're occasionally in ketosis, you ought to be able to eat a treat, [...] and be just fine.” [47:01]“If your nervous system believes that you get a game over at the end of this game, you relax a lot more.” [1:09:01“Happiness doesn't come from wealth, but wealth can come from happiness, but being angry and tired and unhappy all the time is not a good way to become successful or to change the game in your field…” [1:37:56]“The ego is the operating system that keeps you alive if there's no human in there.” [1:53:02]“You have to find a way to be consciously, intentionally be grateful instead of be hungry, empty, pissed off, angry, stressed, feeling not good enough, and all the other stuff.” [1:56:56]“Look at aging as death by a thousand cuts.

Scientific discoveries show chronological aging may be written in the epigenome, those chemical tags attached to your DNA that control the way DNA operates.We're finding out more about both types of aging because of scientists like Morgan Levine, Ph.D., a leading voice in the field of aging and longevity science. She focuses her research on the science of biological aging, emphasizing health span over lifespan. “If you take the difference between someone's biological age and chronological age, it should predict the things we care about, the actual things we're trying to prevent—so death, disease,” she says. She's an assistant professor of pathology and the Director of the Laboratory for Aging in Living Systems at Yale University School of Medicine. Her team looks at using bioinformatics to quantify the aging process and test how lifestyle and pharmaceuticals alter the rate of aging. She's also a founding Principal Investigator at Altos Labs, a biotech company that focuses on cellular rejuvenation programming to restore cell health and resilience.Today, she's going to talk about the science of aging and longevity explored in her new book, “True Age: “Cutting-Edge Research to Help Turn Back the Clock.” Three main drivers—health behaviors, recent stressors and adversity, and genetics—determine your biological aging. She shares how to measure your own biological age and why you should track your aging regularly. This conversation gets into topics and makes them make sense for your own aging, like:Epigenetics & epigenetic clocksDNA methylation & telomeresCell lifespan Ageotypes (molecular assessment of aging)Phenotypic ageThe “Ceiling” effectThe “CALERIE” trialNutrition & aging (plants, fasting, ketosis)Fitness & aging (energy & brain health)Rest & relaxation (sleep & biological programming)Morgan gives great takeaways on how you can make lifestyle changes to maintain your youthfulness—both inside and out—with low-risk, data-driven biohacking.

Research shows that if you live in America, you're likely to have an average of seven surgeries in your lifetime. Wouldn't you want to know how to go in at your best so you can recover at your best? This was my thinking when I went under the knife last year. In the hours and days that followed, I blew my doctor's mind. He had never seen a recovery like mine. As the Father of Biohacking, I never shy away from an opportunity to blow the lid off what we think is biologically possible. And then I share what I've found with the world.In Heal with Dave, my new documentary, you're going to learn all of the methods I used to heal without pain and recover to the fullest and beyond.

Personal development expert Gary John Bishop doesn't buy into mainstream notions of what makes a happy relationship. Not 50/50 effort, not compromise, not molding yourself into what your partner wants. It's just you and some hard truths.What this episode is not about;Blame or providing communication tipsHow to change or cope with your partner and personality types Healing past trauma or understanding fear of commitment Instead, you'll get the ingredients to creating a real, lasting and profound connection with another human being.“There's some, again, cold truths that you have to face and then really have to start to take on,” he says, “but in a way that it's not always going to go your way. You're not always going to get this thing flowing the way you would want it to go, but your job is to keep bringing yourself to this phenomenon in a way that's consistent with you, who you are, what you're about. And powerfully managing all that you might do to undermine it.”Gary, the New York Times bestselling author of the Unfu*k book series, uses an “urban philosophy” approach that's both simple and enlightening. In his latest book, “LOVE UNFU*kED Getting Your Relationship Sh!t Together,” he puts the focus on relationships. “The quality of your relationships dictates the quality of your life,” he says in “LOVE UNFU*kED.” This conversation gets right to the heart of what you can do to make changes that stick in all areas of your life.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

He has an extensive research background in the fields of molecular medicine and microbiology. His particular expertise lies in gut commensal spore bacteria microbiology.He's been a guest on the show before to educate listeners about probiotics and the connections between your microbiome, inflammation and immune function. This time, he's sharing exciting research about a probiotic strain that's tackling the gut-brain axis, called Bifidobacterium longum 1714™.Kiran says, “One really important message that I want people to really wrap their heads around and understand when we're talking about the gut-brain axis is, of course, the gut. A healthy gut is incredibly supportive to the brain. It supports the brain in a number of really important critical functions like recovery, for example, or production of serotonin and dopamine and all these important neurotransmitters, but on the other end of the spectrum, an unhealthy gut is not only not supportive, but it's arguably one of the most toxic things for the brain.”Big topics covered in this episode include:Basic mechanisms by which the gut microbiome can influence neurochemicals and brain inflammationThe gut-brain connection as it relates to stress coping and mental healthHow cortisol and interleukin 6 drive stress response and inflammation in your whole bodyVariables that can cause a breakdown or dysfunction in the psychobiomeTherapeutic interventions, including psychobiotics that can help correct gut-brain axis dysfunctionKiran's great at explaining the science so you clearly understand what the studies mean and can apply new knowledge to your own biology.

Green juicing—done the right way—can upgrade all of those things. Junaid Kalmadi joins the show to talk about soil degradation, farming practices, and produce waste. He explains that it's possible to do juicing safely and in ways that don't break the planet even more.Junaid (with Dave as an advisor) founded Farmers Juice, a keto-friendly and functional green juice line that uses a cold-pressed process. “You separate the pulp from the juice, and you get this end product of this incredibly high nutrient-dense jolt of vitamins, enzymes, phytochemicals that give you this tangible positive effect within your biology, within your mood, within your own like mental state to perform your best,” Junaid says.It takes 1.5 pounds of produce (no kale!) to make one bottle of organic Farmers Juice. The juices also contain adaptogens, antioxidants, and mushrooms to boost focus, calm, and athletic performance. Along with finding out what's in the juice, you'll learn about nutrigenomics and how food information tells your body what to do. You'll also learn how phytonutrients act as your genetic control system and keep you healthy. Food and nutrients directly, immediately, and specifically interact with our genes, controlling moment-to-moment changes in your physiology and biochemistry.For juicing 101, particularly ingredients and processing, take a listen to: Why Dave Asprey Changed His Mind About Juicing – #802.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
