 Hey guys, it's Alex here from alexfegers.com and Currently pack my bags as I'm about to embark on a rather lengthy journey to London for the said that funny good night London for the Health optimization summit which is happening there this weekend. So I live in New Zealand. So that means I think it's something like a 30 hour trip Three flights. Yeah, it's gonna be it's gonna be a big trip one of the flights of 17 odd hours I've done this quite a bit long haul travel, you know to Europe all over America and Asia as well So as a biohacker and someone who's pretty passionate about my health I know firsthand how dangerous or harming this long haul travel is in fact I got an article I'll link to below on the on the dangers of long haul travel, but on the flip side I have learned a few Strategies and tips and tricks to implement to not only minimize the damage to protect the body, but also to help Adjust the to the new time zone to help with sleep and to help sleep on planes and cure jet lag Or get over jet lag rather quickly. So I thought I had all these things out as I was packing I thought you know what? I'm gonna do a quick video real quick. I have got a few articles on jet lag and travel I'll put those links below All the products I mentioned I am affiliated with some of them I use I am affiliated with them because I use them and find benefit from them But it doesn't mean I get a cut if you decide to buy them. I do have discount codes for pretty much all the products I'm gonna list as well So I'll put those discount codes below if you are watching this and you want to go off and buy something So let's look at the performance biohacking things. I'll take with me Obviously, I'd love to take big red light panels and headsets and whatnot But you know the space is an issue when you are traveling long-haul So one of the one of the few performance gadgets I take is This the vi light. This is the intranasal device on I do have the vi light headset Which is like I said rather bulky, so I don't bother taking that with me This is pocket size. It is a little bit, you know, weird shoving something up your nose So I probably won't use it on the plane unless I'm in business class But um, definitely when I'm in the hotel or even at the airport waiting, you know Because it's only a 10-15 minute session one battery pre-start shines beautiful red light up your nostrils into your brain I've got a big review on vi light and why I would use such a device on a regular basis This is helping with brain function Also helps fight like stress and age-related brain issues So travel is a big stress on the body and the brain. So this is my little boost And if I am going to be speaking or something like that at the event, I'll bust this out before I go on stage What else? Another light device is the vi light and This one of mine is actually a rather beaten up It's being used quite extensively all across the world The vi light they're just releasing a new one as well. So Check that out. I think it's got blue teeth and stuff. I personally like the white option Press It's flat. I need to charge it. Anyway, you turn this on and it will shine white light into your ear This will help with circadian rhythms I've got a in-depth review on that and a discount code. So I'll link to that It syncs with your app. Oh, no, it doesn't it doesn't sing with your app You can use the app to Program in where you're traveling to what flight what your flight times are etc And it will tell you when you should use this to help adjust to the local time zone So very very handy if you're going across multiple time time zones London is 11 hours behind New Zealand. So it's pretty much complete opposite to where I am now. It's going to be it's going to be Quite stressful, I guess. So I'm going to be using this a lot performance By hacking I'm using the alpha Alpha Dynamics health mushrooms. This is an extract powder Yes, this is quite bulky, but the great thing about it. They're all single surf So I'm just going to take a hand for these single-serve sachets Mix it with water. You can have it straight. It's not very tasty there Lines main charger and cordyceps. So it helps with energy and also a bit of immune defense So I just take one of these a day. Sometimes I take them when I'm on the plane on those longer trips What else we got? Aeternus sachets This is a relatively new product and I will be reviewing in-depth soon You can buy them in capsules But you can also get these sachets as the powder mix which I like for traveling If you don't mind packing more more supplements, obviously, this is handy as well Or you can just take what you need, you know for five days Whatever put it in a smaller smaller bottle and then it saves up a little bit of space. So this is anti-aging antistress formula from the neurohacker health organism, neurohacker collective So short anti-aging benefits are great But the anti-stress thing is what I'm looking for with this trip because Like I said, my body is going to go through how and back with the jet lag Try to sleep on planes and then the time zone shifts and then the fact that even when I get there It's just going to be go-go-go. I've got 72 hours in London and it's going to be crazy So there's a bunch of ingredients in here to help with cell energy ATP production, etc. So yeah, definitely going to be slamming them. I do also use qualia mines I've got another review on that. I'm not going to take that with this trip I find that the tennis is better for the stress sort of handling stress load The quality of mind is more that cognitive performance if I was going to be over there for like a couple weeks or the time zone wasn't Such a big issue. I'd probably take quality of mine Maybe as well as the tennis. What else we got here My juve go So this is a handheld juve light, which I probably need a charge as well No So I will use this I probably won't use this on the plane because I'll get some weird looks and I don't know if they'll be Too happy with the red light glow, but when I'm in the hotel on the other end You know, I have had some issues with my dental house So I can just hit that or whatever, you know if I want to spot treat areas handy to use What else do we have on the performance front? My seed daily symbiotic so I've talked about this in my newsletters and It's pretty cool probiotic slash prebiotic Two-in-one and the cool thing is when you get your first subscription you get a tiny little glass bottle like this which is designed For for travel. But anyway, so saves having to take the big one I'd pop a few capsules in here Just to keep my gut health in check because I'm sure my diet's gonna be out and in fact one of the biggest things with travel is the Misaligned circadian rhythm. So, you know, I've got a pretty steady Light cycle temperature cycles and eating cycle here in New Zealand, you know, I eat at particular times I stop eating three hours before bed. That's all gonna be blown out We're just gonna it's been well known that that caused a lot of issues in your gut microbiome So the seed is gonna help with that. I hope Uh, okay, let's look at some supplements and then we'll look at sleep So supplements I take activated charcoal and this is just if I eat something funky because obviously I'm not gonna be eating food From my garden and farm So if there's something that you know, I don't think it's gonna be the best or I just feel a little bit unwell I'll be taking them vitamin C. I'll be taking a couple of capsules of these every few hours just to keep my immune system up Coq 10 with pqq. So this is what I take for Stress while on the plane to help with some of the radiation exposure Plus, it's just a good supplement to have as well and the glutathione. This is like, you know Again, like the vitamin C immune function. It's not gonna come into focus, but this I'll be taking Because often I get back from trips and I get a cold so I get a bit run down So I'm gonna try to prevent that using these supplements Alright, and now let's look at sleep. Alright, so when it comes to sleep I take a bunch of things because you'll probably know if you've seen some of my work or read my blog AlexFews.com. I'm pretty passionate about sleep and I've got lots of tricks and Products to help me with sleep. First thing I pack is this somni light. It's actually Book reading light but to be honest, it's too big and bulky for a book reading light It's quite heavy, but you know, it's been cool like we got two of these to plan on using them when we're reading at night but we ended up using them as little side lights we just clip them on to our bed and You know, you can adjust them rather than clipping on the book because they put out a really warm orange Light and there's two brightness settings plus two lights. So you can get pretty bright. It's also been good when we had our baby You know get up and then like you can just turn this on for a nice little glow and that rechargeable You get a few hours use so every few days. We just top it up So I'll take this with me because it'll be great in the hotel You know chances are we'll bright lights and stuff. I can use this at night without getting that bright light Melatonin suppressing Hey Speaking of Melatonin, I'll be taking my Swanwick glasses. So I've actually got two glasses in here I've got my orange lens Glasses which I'll use in the evening nighttime Again to help with sleep I've got a full article on this if you don't know why I'd use orange glasses I check out my article on blue light and then I've also got their daytime glasses, which have a very very faint Yellow lens you can't you probably won't be able to see that on the camera, but I'll use them during the day So when I'm looking at my computer screen or if I'm watching movies on the plane for instance, which I really do By the way, it's kind of crazy. I did like a 36 hour trip and watch one movie I just get a lot of work done, but when I'm looking at those screens Or the computer of my own computer If I can't install or if I can't protect against the blue light obviously with the inbuilt computer screen You can't you can't install flux or iris tech on on those screens. So I'll use this to protect my eyes I've got some articles on the importance of using Computer glasses to protect the red in a health that I read in it. So that's the two glasses. I'll take What else for sleep the two supplements I'll pack for sleep is Sleep 101 from California gold. This is um, this is Just a general purpose sort of sleep supplement. I personally don't take this anymore I don't take any supplements for sleep anymore Apart from magnesium, but my my wife will occasionally take these if she kind of gets asleep You know, maybe she's working up with the baby and a bit restless and she loves these she swears by them So I'll take these as my first level approach to get into sleep and then as back up I have a feeling of it capsules which are very potent and I don't recommend them for everyone In fact, I banned in some countries, but I'll take these if I know like I need to get some sleep Maybe I've got a presentation in the morning and it's like 3 a.m. In the morning I'm wide awake. I'll take this to knock me up, but be careful with this Sleep sleep sleep. I'll also take these nasolata. I've actually got the sport ones But they're the same as the snoring ones. I believe So these are a little device that you put up your nose I know lots of things in the ears and nose, huh? Put up your nose and it helps expand the nostril and to help get airflow So when you're flying at altitude on a plane, the oxygen level in the cabin is much lower than at ground level That can lead to you know, the dry eyes dry nose Whatever the skin issues and all that sort of stuff, but they can also lead to the brain fog the headache effect They often you get after a long haul travel So this helps open up the nostrils and hopefully you'll get better airflow and those issues won't be a problem I haven't used them before I have used them at home and they're pretty cool that I feel like they do help So I'm looking forward to using them on the plane I'll put links to all these products below and and you can't really tell they're in there once once they're in So people aren't going to give you funny looks speaking of Sleeping and funny things on my face This tape I use this to put over my lips and close my lips. I'll keep my lips shut I actually prefer the Somni fix I think the brand is called the mouth tapes when traveling because they aren't as ugly and as weird looking as these Plus they like a little event. So if you need to get out, you know, open up real quickly you can But I'm out of them at the moment and my order hasn't arrived in time, which is a shame So I have to go back to using this tape which I'm sure is going to get me some weird looks But I've used it before in flying and it helps Big time especially with drawing mouth in there and you just because if you can't lie flat, you know Your mouth might open. Honestly, this helps. I swear by what else? Equanimity is another supplement. I went to these big boxes You can they're a tiny little capsules is like seven capsules in this whole box It's actually a little bit ridiculous, but these are Rishi sport oil Organic and very good for helping relaxation and to lower stress So some people say they are an alternative to CBD oil I recommend and use CBD oil when I'm traveling. Unfortunately, New Zealand you can't get CBD oil So I don't bother with it unless I'm they're gonna be in the States for a while and I'll use it over there For instance, but I've got these on hand instead. So I'll take these when traveling from New Zealand to help with sleep And I'm ask This is the silk eye mask from swanwick sleep. I think I got a discount code for these guys I'll put links to all this below. So very important, especially if you're sleeping on a plane and it's bright or You know in a hotel you try to sleep during the middle of the day and they don't have like our kids So I recommend that and then My own pillow. I always travel with my own fellow. In fact, I'm scared I'm gonna leave this pillow somewhere because I take it everywhere with me. So this is from Samina It is Cotton and sheeps wool. That's all it is and it's all organic They've got amazing. I've got the Samina beard and it's amazing. I'm gonna get one for my son as well I've got a review on this me Samina beard and the quality and care that goes into their products So this pillow is one of the healthiest pillows you can get but for me It's I love it because it's super thin You probably won't go to see how thin it is in here on here But I love super thin pillows and it's very very hard to find super thin pillows I like it's a game changer for me in my sleep And the good thing about it being so so thin slim thin is you can fold it up You know, it's not gonna take up too much space So yeah, definitely love traveling with my pillow and then the last thing I'll take which isn't a biohack or anything like that Well, it isn't a little bit, but it's not a performance by hacking It's not gonna help with my sleep is my or ring and the charger So I'll use that to see how messed up my body is and I missed up my sleep Maybe which I hope it's not too bad. But yeah, anyway, that's what I'm gonna be taking on this big trip If you are gonna be doing a big trip yourself Hopefully you got some ideas if there's something you want to know more about like hey Why are you taking that or why are you taking this instead of that? Check all the links below because I'll link to a lot of articles that Explain why I use these things and how they work and whatnot But otherwise just leave a comment below and I'll do my best to get back to you If you want to buy any of this stuff remember I probably get a cut if you buy through my links, but I might have some discount codes below as well And if you're gonna be in London, I don't know when this video will go live But if it goes live before or during the event and you're gonna be in London reach out It'd be great to catch up Otherwise head over to alexfigus.com sign up to my blog give me a like if you enjoyed this if you are traveling I've got some articles on travel health and jet lag over at alexfigus.com so go check them out.
