The Jet Lag Reset | The Simple Science to Resetting Your Body Clock
On my last trip to San Francisco, something unexpected happened: I didn’t get jet lag. Normally, I’d spend the first few days wide awake at 3 a.m. and desperate for a nap by lunchtime — but this time, my body adjusted almost instantly.In this episode, I share the two surprisingly simple things that made all the difference: moving my body and drinking chia seeds. We’ll talk about why exercise acts like a reset button for your internal clock, how chia seeds can keep you hydrated and regular while travelling, and the three “anchors” your body uses to sync with a new time zone — light, movement, and meals.Plus, I share practical, easy-to-remember travel habits that genuinely make you feel human again:How to use sunlight and exercise to reset your circadian rhythmThe chia-seed hydration trick that supports digestion, skin, and energyWhy timing your meals and caffeine can make or break your recoveryAnd small tweaks - like magnesium, electrolytes, and morning walks — that make travel so much smootherWhether you’re crossing continents or just hopping time zones, this episode is your quick, no-nonsense guide to beating jet lag without expensive supplements or rigid routines.Connect with me on Instagram: @emmagunsJoin the conversation on Substack: The Emma Guns Show NewsletterShare this episode with a friend who needs a reminder that failure isn’t the end.Hey!

What Can Hypnotherapy Do for You? More than you might think...
Of all the podcasts I’ve ever recorded, it’s this one with motivational speaker, celebrity therapist and pioneering hypnotherapist that has generated the most feedback from listeners saying ‘this conversation changed my life’. Indeed, when I left Marisa’s house, I immediately bought all her books from my parked car and devoured all of them in a matter of days. Marisa uses her various skills to help people become ‘unstuck’ from the patterns that cause stagnation, frustration and in action. And, while you might think this would involve deep work, some of her observations and techniques can be quick and easy to apply. It’s why her technique has been dubbed ‘rapid transformational therapy’. At the core of her messaging is this idea of ‘being enough’ something which many of us don’t feel as has almost becoming a belief that we just aren’t good enough. Marisa explains how to untangle that untrue belief and move forward believing that you are not only enough but you are worthy.This conversation was originally published in 2017.Hey!

Bullet Points | I'm not sure you want to 'hear' this and is there a better way to unwind than simply relaxing?
I'm reading two snippets from the internet to you today. One, from the brilliant Holly Tucker about podcasts and why she believes they are so strong as an audio-only medium and secondly something I read on Substack about how to properly relax. I'd love to hear your thoughts on both of these.Hey! Why not share your thoughts and insights to make your listening experience even better.
