Today we are joined by Mark Francas from Nourish Men’s Nutrition & Health and Simon North from Anam Cara Energy Healing to chat about men's health and nutrition.
After a long career in behavioural research, Mark Francas decided to study nutritional health at London’s College of Naturopathic Medicine.

His practice is called Nourish and he works with men who want to feel healthier and slow down the aging process.

He combines his knowledge of nutrition with his background in behavioural psychology to develop holistic Health Plans for clients which are practical and achievable.

Exploring Epigenetics with Wez Pooley of MUHDO
In this edition, Zandra chats to Wez Pooley at MUHDO, the DNA HEALTH TEST company. MUHDO are at the forefront of DNA and Epigenetics.
So what are Epigenetics? Epigenetics control how your genes behave. You are born with your genetic makeup, but you can affect your epigenetics through your lifestyle. We actually have two ages: Chronological age and biological age.
Your chronological age is the exact number of years that you have been alive. Whereas your biological age is the true reflection of how your cells are aging. Your biological age and internal health can be affected by your diet, exercise, lifestyle, and environment. MUHDO’s bioinformatics and science teams have identified the genes – as well as the specific biomarkers which sit upon them that correlate to cellular aging.
Armed with this information, the MUHDO APP will help you put strategies together for whatever your health goals are, and help you reduce your Biological Age Over Time with Improved Lifestyle & Health Behaviours.
Sound a bit Sci-fi? Listen to the podcast and let Wez explain more.
