Hello, my friends. Welcome back. It is the return of the long-awaited Lifehack series. Sit back and enjoy as we run through our favorite tools, apps, websites, strategies, resources, and more for a productive and efficient life with Jonny and Yusef from propanefitness.com. So today, expect to learn how to properly use yeast, why being cold when you sleep is great, Yusef's best suggestion for how to use your spare time, how to hide tags on Instagram stories, whether a personal sauna is any good, why my toilet has hot water in it, and many, many, many more. obviously, if you have any life hacks that you think that we need to add to our lives, feel free to get at me at ChrisWillX on all social media. Just drop me a DM and if it is any good, I might try it. And if it's bad, then I'm absolutely, definitely not going to try it. But for now, it's time for Life Hacks with Jonny & Yusef.
Lifehacks, man! What else are you going to be excited about?

**Dr. Yusef Smith** (1:19)
I'm amped for the lifehacks, yeah.

**Chris Williamson** (1:23)
I'm very well, thank you. It's been a while since we spoke.

**Dr. Yusef Smith** (1:26)
I've just realized, in the background of Jonny is, I think, a John Lewis banana stand. Well, it looks very similar to one. Like a very fancy thing to hold your bananas with.

**Jonathan Watson** (1:39)
It's a light.

**Dr. Yusef Smith** (1:40)
Is it? It's to keep it away from the other fruit, because bananas produce a gas that makes other fruit ripen prematurely.

**Jonathan Watson** (1:48)
You also can't freeze bananas, you know that?

**Chris Williamson** (1:51)
Do you know what happens?

**Jonathan Watson** (1:53)
I learned that from trying to freeze bananas. You think, I'll freeze banana and then I'll add it to my smoothie or whatever, and then you take it out until they're all bruised and wrinkled.

**Chris Williamson** (2:02)
Really? They're very sensitive souls, aren't they, bananas?

**Jonathan Watson** (2:06)
Like the problem friend of the fruit family, aren't they?

**Chris Williamson** (2:12)
Yeah, they are. They kind of infect everyone else as well, and they speed up their aging. So yes, welcome back, Lifehacks. If you are not familiar with the Lifehacks series, we go through a roundtable, each giving a tool, app, process, food, any other particular type of strategy we've found for productive and efficient life, and then we riff on how good or bad they are. So, Jonny, what have you got for us today?

**Jonathan Watson** (2:40)
Of course.

**Chris Williamson** (2:41)
Of course. A hot potato for you. What have you got for us?

**Jonathan Watson** (2:45)
Okay. So, this is actually one that I borrowed from a guy who's been coaching me, which is nutritional yeast.
Great reaction.

**Chris Williamson** (3:05)
I'm just so curious about what it is.

**Jonathan Watson** (3:10)
Putting nutritional yeast on eggs specifically.

**Chris Williamson** (3:15)
Okay.

**Jonathan Watson** (3:17)
So nutritional yeast is like very nutrient dense. So it can apparently, this is lifted from the internet, it contains all nine essential amino acids, B vitamins, trace minerals, zinc, selenium, manganese, all that good stuff. And it just tastes, makes eggs taste just a little bit cheesy.
It's a really easy way. When you're, if you're having eggs, just a little sprinkle.

**Chris Williamson** (3:44)
Is it powder?

**Jonathan Watson** (3:45)
It's a powder, yeah. Well, it's flakes.

**Dr. Yusef Smith** (3:48)
See, I've got yeast as capsules. Similar reasons.

**Jonathan Watson** (3:53)
Is it nutritional yeast?

**Dr. Yusef Smith** (3:55)
Brew is yeast. Yeah. So.

**Jonathan Watson** (3:56)
I think that's different.

**Dr. Yusef Smith** (3:58)
Is it?

**Jonathan Watson** (3:59)
I think so.

**Dr. Yusef Smith** (3:59)
I mean, I don't know my yeast very well, to be honest.

**Jonathan Watson** (4:02)
To be honest, neither did I.

**Chris Williamson** (4:03)
Welcome back to Yeast Hour here on Modern Wisdom.

**Dr. Yusef Smith** (4:07)
Yeast 101

**Jonathan Watson** (4:09)
I thought when I say yeast, someone's going to say, well, why would you take yeast? I thought, well, I better have something to say there.

**Dr. Yusef Smith** (4:14)
Absolutely.

**Jonathan Watson** (4:14)
Instead of Google. But I think they're different. It's just a way of like, you know, I suppose that is the definition of a life hack, right?
Just a little, some little you can do that just gets slightly more out of.

**Dr. Yusef Smith** (4:24)
It makes the eggs taste better, cognitive performance, links to testosterone, gut microbiome, like a lot of good stuff with yeast.

**Chris Williamson** (4:33)
How long have you been using it, Jonny?

**Jonathan Watson** (4:37)
Three months.
