What do intermittent fasting, clean wine, nicotine patches, and EMF-blocking headphones have in common? According to biohacker, podcaster, and entrepreneur Melanie Avalon—more than you might think. In this episode of The Healthier Tech Podcast, R Blank sits down with Melanie to unpack her unique approach to health optimization. From turning modern tech against itself for better living, to why she only drinks low-alcohol European wine, to her obsession with product purity (supplements, coffee, and even dating apps!), this conversation will challenge what you thought you knew about “healthy habits.” Here's what you'll learn: Melanie's definition of biohacking and why “modern” tools can help you live more like your ancestors. The surprising science behind wine and longevity—and why most wine labels are hiding something from you. Why nicotine patches (yes, really) are part of her focus and productivity routine. The hidden toxins in your coffee cup and how Melanie is working to fix it. How her upcoming dating app will filter matches by dietary and drinking preferences. And so much more… If you've ever wondered how someone can juggle multiple wellness ventures while still making time for a nightly wine ritual, this episode is your blueprint. It's part science, part lifestyle design, and part insider look at the health-tech industry—told with honesty, curiosity, and more than a little humor. Listen in and rethink how you define “healthy living” in a tech-saturated world.

Adam, Joanna, and Zach answer a listener question about why it is that so many wine lists look the same these days, with the same wines being sold or excluded.

Welcome to Episode 1538, What is wine communication in 2022? with Robert Joseph, moderated by Stevie Kim This is the wine2wine Business Forum 2022 Series. The sessions are recorded and uploaded on Italian Wine Podcast. wine2wine Business Forum is an international wine business forum, held annually in Verona Italy since 2014. The event is a key reference point for wine producers and a diverse variety of wine professionals eager to develop and grow their wine business worldwide. About today' session: In 2002, like wine producers, book publishers and authors largely relied heavily on traditional critics and reviewers. Today, they also have TikTok, Instagram and peer reviews on Goodreads and Amazon. The #Booktok tag has been used over 39,000,000,000 times. TikTok influencers are now becoming more important to book publishing than most classic reviewers. Barnes & Nobles shops in the US now have BookTok shelves. Top Instagram book influencers, @everlastingcharm, @myfriendsarefiction and @hayaisreading all have over 100,000 followers, far more potential book buyers than are ever likely to read a traditional newspaper review. Wine in China has adopted this shift more rapidly than in the west. Wang Shenghan, aka Lady Penguin, a 33-year-old leading wine influencer, has built an e-commerce platform with revenues of over $35m. But it is not just influencers. A Vivino marketing campaign can be more cost effective today than promoting a Wine Spectator score. Many in the industry are uncomfortable with these trends, but ignoring them may be a mistake. Former award-winning author and critic and now industry analyst, Robert Joseph, takes a level-headed look at the rapid way wine communication is changing, reveals the findings from new research, and ways many producers may need to adapt. More about today's speaker: Robert Joseph Robert is a wine business consultant and an editorial consultant for Meininger's Wine Business International, which he helped to launch in 2006. In 1983, after living in Burgundy for five years, he launched Wine International magazine; set up the International Wine Challenge; became wine writer for the Sunday Telegraph and wrote The Wine Lists, the first of his 25 books. He has chaired and launched over 50 wine competitions in Asia, Europe and the UK. Robert has been in Who's Who since 2013, and awards he has received include the Jacob's Creek ‘Golden Vine'; ‘the Best Wine Guide in the World'; the Glenfiddich (twice); The Wine Guild of the United Kingdom Premier; the Marques de Caceres. He regularly appears on television and radio, and has lectured at the Wine & Spirits Educational Trust, Burgundy and Sonoma Wine Business Schools. Joseph is one of the trio behind Hugh Kevin & Robert Wines whose le Grand Noir range now sell over 3.8m bottles per year in over 60 countries.

Are you curious about what it takes to manage a list of 500 different wine labels at one of America's best restaurants? Why is wine so powerful in creating memories? What is the most important role of the sommelier? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Sommelier of the Year, Tonya Pitts. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks Highlights How did art play a major role in Tonya's life growing up? Why is wine so powerful in creating memories? What motivated Tonya to switch from pursuing a career in law to becoming a sommelier? What was Tonya's introduction to working in restaurants? Why is smell such a significant part of Tonya's tasting process? What's in Tonya's mental wine Rolodex? What was it like to taste a 1900 Rothschild? How did a tasting of the 1976 Chateau Lafite compare to the 1900 Rothschild? What makes older wines so special? What does it take to manage a list of 500 different wine labels at one of America's best restaurants? Why is it even more powerful to visit the place wine comes from? How did Italy win Tonya's heart? What does Tonya love about the service aspect of being a sommelier? Key Takeaways I found Tonya's insights into what it takes to manage a list of 500 different wine labels at one of America's best restaurants fascinating. She also shares some great behind-the-scenes observations on the role of the sommelier. My favourite part is when she talks lyrically about how she's transitioned from the artist's canvas to using a plate of food and wine to tell a story and paint a picture for someone. I also think she's bang on when she says, “Wine takes you on a journey, you can go anywhere in the world, with a bottle of wine. The reason I still do what I do, and why it means so much to me, is that I can actually smell a glass, it transports me right back to that time and place when I originally had that bottle of wine. It's amazing.” Join me on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube Live Join the live-stream video of this conversation on Wed at 7 pm ET on Instagram Live Video, Facebook Live Video or YouTube Live Video.
