Do you ever get eye strain or headaches after being on your computer for long periods of time? If so, your not alone. It’s extremely common for most people (myself included) to get eye strain, brain fog, headaches, etc. when staring at a laptop or computer monitor. One of the many reasons for this is that computer monitors actual flicker (as do most modern artificial lights) and that’s one of the many reasons why people get undesirable effects when spending long stretches of time on the computer. There's even a name for this growing epidemic of eye issues and headaches caused by computers. It’s called computer vision syndrome and can actually cause serious long term damage to your eyes. My guest on today's show is the perfect person to talk to about this because he’s actually created software to help overcome this issue. His name is Daniel Georgiev and he’s the creator of a software you may of heard of before, heck some of you many already use it, called IRIS. Daniel started out as a rowing champion with about 6 years of training and a few medals under his belt. Then he started working for a software company but he wasn’t satisfied with the work and had lots of trouble with eye pain and strain. That’s where the idea for Iris came from. The software is now being used by more than 2 million users all over the world and is the most popular health tech software currently. Link to download IRIS - https://iristech.co?ap_id=ryankennedy

There is so much talk about diet and nutrition these days. Literally thousands of books have been written about which diets are best and why, but one aspect to nutrition and health that's been gaining more and more attention is not what to eat, but rather WHEN TO EAT and the benefits of not eating anything at all for extended periods of time. I’m referring to fasting!  I’m super excited to have with me Siim Land Author of the book “Metabolic Autophagy” and we are going to be taking a deep dive today into the topic of fasting.  Siim is an author, speaker, content creator, and high-performance coach from Estonia. He writes articles and makes videos about optimizing health, body composition, and wellness with different biohacking techniques. Despite his young age, Siim's written several books about fasting, ketogenic diet, and does international speaking. Instagram: https://instagram.com/siimland/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/siimland
