I'm excited about today's podcast. I'm a big fan of Chris's podcast and his books, and in fact had to try hard not to be a fanboy when recording this interview.

I love his stories and thoughts about everything from travelling in India to polyamorous relationships to lots more...  he's like the best lecturer you never had in sociology, anthropology, history and sexuality.

After being the person wrote THE book that so many people like to turn to about sexuality, he's now written Civilised To Death which has just been released.

It's an important and intense read. As he says: "Our most urgent dreams may simply reflect the world as it was before we fell asleep."

So what's the way forward? How can we seek future guidance in our past? And should we start looking backward to find our way into a better future?

Have I ever been more chilled out recording a podcast?

I am a big fan of the float tank - an hour's sensory deprivation to restore mind and body. And that features in today's podcast.

I recently spent some time at Yue Float and feel as good as new. Also trying the para light pad, the ajna light, and the infrared sauna. All of which means that the start of this podcast is very relaxed, and owner, biohacker and health optimiser Tim Allen is the perfect person to discuss cutting-edge energy hacks. He's a man who is really going for it to optimise every area of his health, life and performance.

Today, sort out your stress, pain, low energy, headaches, anxiety, depression, poor skin and beauty, low fertility, bad digestion and/or a lack of sleep. Sound good?

After a car accident that ended her dreams of becoming an opera singer, followed by complications around fertility, weight, stress, depression and daytime fatigue, Katie Brindle used Yang Sheng to solve her own health problems and thousands of others around the world.

She's a Chinese Medicine Doctor who knows her stuff. Oh and today, as well as that ancient item, how to combat the 3pm slump many of us get after lunch, and other Chinese medicine hacks.

And a big focus is on the ancient item that gives you more energy, gets rid of fat, and stops you going bald? Know what it is? Listen in to find out.
