Whatever version of health or happiness you’re seeking, there’s a podcast that’s bound to help improve your physical and emotional wellbeing.

If you’re looking for a healthier mind and body, then look no further. We’ve rounded up our favourite health, wellbeing and healthy living podcasts to uplift and inspire you to hack your health and become the best version of you:

The Lowdown:

Covering ground from Silicon Valley to the Andes, there is nothing high-tech entrepreneur Dave Asprey hasn’t tried in the way of biohacking. Asprey has long been obsessively focused on discovering for himself just how to optimise one’s biology and do everything better. And Bulletproof Radio, finally, allows us to have a window on his discoveries.

Bulletproof Radio was born out of a 20-year single-minded crusade by Asprey to upgrade himself as a human being by exploiting every cutting-edge technology available to him. The podcast aims to unveil the truth behind these technologies and to distill, and make digestible, the knowledge, insight and expertise of the world’s best doctors, biochemists, scientists, Olympic nutritionists, meditation experts, and mavericks.

Asprey has himself spent in excess of $1M on personal health experiments ranging from undergoing scans at private brain EEG facilities hidden in a Canadian forest to embarking on silent retreats in the far-flung and remote monasteries of Tibet.

Asprey argues that it used to take a lifetime to radically rewire the human body and mind, but that technology has significantly changed the rules. With Bulletproof Radio, Asprey aims to provide his listeners with everything they need to upgrade their mind and body, to take control of their wellbeing, improve their biochemistry, to boost their productivity, and to live life to its fullest.

How To Listen:

Bulletproof Radio is free to listen to via Apple Podcasts or Asprey’s own website.
