Sunlight is a nutrient. Not a threat to be managed, not something to hide from. That's the starting point for today's episode. Nadine Artemis is back for the midweek show. On Monday she told us about the anti-aging tool nobody's heard of. (I'm so in for it!) Today, something lighter and very seasonal: her actual summer routine, morning to night. How someone who trusts the body's innate intelligence lives when the sun's out. Follow Nadine Artemis on Instagram @nadineartemisofficial Visit www.liveinthelight.co.uk

Nadine Artemis is back on the show, and since we last spoke she's coined an entirely new term: biofinessing. Less hacking, more attunement. Working with the body's innate intelligence instead of trying to override it. We get into what that means, and then go deep on the tech she's actually using. In this episode: Terahertz waveforms explained from scratch - you have to listen to this! Where terahertz sits vs red light and infrared The device Nadine actually uses, and how What to avoid as cheap versions flood market Biofinessing: why biohacking needed a new word Follow Nadine Artemis on Instagram @nadineartemisofficial Visit www.liveinthelight.co.uk

This is a Biohacking Reviews episode, where we review; products, supplements, health tech, practices... whatever is new and whatever we've been trying. One from the vault and in this episode I explore why neuroscientist Matthew Walker actually rates weighted blankets as a genuine sleep aid — and why athletes, insomniacs and anxious over-thinkers are all crawling underneath them.  

Three things on the show this week. Red Light Therapy and Your Eyesight Red light therapy has been making waves in the biohacking world for a while now, but the research on eyesight specifically is genuinely interesting. We look at whether shining red light into your eyes for a few minutes a day can slow age-related vision decline, what the science actually says, and how to do it safely. Cultural Engagement Slows Biological Ageing Fascinating research from UC Riverside suggests that engaging with art, music, theatre and culture doesn't just make life more enjoyable.  It may actually slow the pace of biological ageing at a cellular level. Worth paying attention to. Vault Episode: Jim Kwik on Brain Performance This week's Vault episode features Jim Kwik, one of the world's leading brain coaches and host of the Kwik Brain podcast.

Bryan Johnson is 10 days post 5-MeO-DMT and the aftermath is wild — heightened sex drive, sleeping more than ever, vivid dreams, and a growing sense that normal life is completely insane. He's also been posting his full hair loss reversal protocol this week, reversing decades of thinning with red light therapy, DNA-matched topicals and microneedling — no surgery, no excuses. Gene editing that could make your bones eight times stronger is no longer science fiction, and Biohackers World just wrapped its biggest ever event in Los Angeles.
