Zestology: Live Life with Energy, Vitality, Motivation, Health, Confidence, Great Sleep, Biohacking ...

Or... Why you should never put your phone in your pocket (part 2) Today: EMF and tech dangers explained in depth. How many times do you check your phone per day? Since Apple brought out iOS12, I know now, and it's fairly shocking - about 70 per day. And I thought I was good at this stuff. And the negative effects of smartphone and technology extend beyond distraction - perhaps we should be worrying a lot more about EMFs. Daniel DeBaun is the man - and comes back to Zestology again to helps us know what to do  

Yes, Jason Wittrock is another Zestology guest that puts butter in his coffee. He's #keto - hmmm, there's a theme here isn't there. Actually, some guests really surprise me on Zestology.  I already knew Jason Wittrock really knew his stuff about ketosis, the high fat low carb diet that gives you more energy, helps with inflammation and a host of other things (Disclaimer, check with your health practitioner before starting on this). But I didn't know how much fun Jason would be, and how much energy he'd have. It's infectious, and he's great. Enjoy!

Slightly embarrassingly last time I had today's guest on my show, I got his name wrong. It's supposed to be Drew Canol-ee, but I called him Drew Canole (as in Sausage Role). Bearing in mind how well known he is in the States, I probably should have known this. Drew Canol-ee. He's a proper famous juice expert, regular guest on top tv shows, has one of the biggest organic green powder companies in the world…, he is in a nutshell, juicing up the world. Now got his new book out this week - You Be You - available everywhere. In this podcast we talk juicing, obviously, but we also talk meditation, jumping in the sea every day, the best ways to chill out when life get stressful. Then things start to get a bit crazy. We talk lucid dreaming, astral projection, going to different dimensions, it all starts to get a bit trippy. And Drew can get away with it because he really knows his stuff. In a nutshell, he's fantastic, and I hope this podcast helps juice you up and inspire you. 

Are you extending the gap a little bit these days between dinner and breakfast? Or lunch? If not, you might want to consider it, as the evidence is starting to mount up. Obviously this has been quite a zesty topic for a while. I interviewed Max Lowery a few weeks ago, and now I've gone full science. Dr. Jason Fung is a legend when it comes to intermittent fasting, low-carb diets and so on. He’s a world-leading expert on intermittent fasting and low carb, especially for treating people with type 2 diabetes.  He's got a hardcore scientific background, and has written perhaps the bible on intermittent fasting. In this podcast we talk about the benefits, and pitfalls of intermittent fasting. I go through some of my experiences and Jason tells us his. Plus... a tea that helps you fast, anyone? Pique teas can help. This is the tea that can help with intermittent fasting, (and it's also a special discount link for Zestology subscribers). I'm an intermittent faster as you know, and I'm enjoying this stuff.

Tony Robbins does it, Jennifer Aniston does it, Professor Green does it. And me and Ryan Carter do it. #189 You probably saw Mark Wahlberg's viral description of his working day a couple of weeks ago. A 2.30am start, mega-workouts and cryotherapy. In honour of this completely bonkers schedule, I met up with my mate, health influencer Ryan Carter to record a podcast whilst doing the cryotherapy part of Mark Wahlberg's daily routine. I can assure you, no 2.30am starts occured in the making of this podcast. The thing is, Mark Wahlberg's not the only one... there are a lot of interesting people who do this stuff; Tony Robbins, Joe Rogan, Jennifer Aniston, and as you'll hear in this podcast, Professor Green was at the Cryo clinic while we were recording. We recorded it at the wonderful London Cryo. If you mention Zestology, you'll get ££ off. On that particular day, I was feeling quite low energy, and it was quite surprising the 3-minute cryo session picked me up. See if you can spot the before and after differenc

Ariel Garten is a Canadian artist and scientist. That's a pretty unusual combination and gives her a unique insight into the powers of meditation. She's a neuroscience expert and in this podcast, gave what I thought was probably the best description of why we need meditation that I've ever heard. Listen on to the end of the podcast for this. It'll blow your socks off. Ariel's also has a company - Muse meditation devices that help make meditation easy, and you can find them here.

Have you ever heard the word biohacker, and not really known what it means? Okay, here's my definition. Biohacking = optimising mind, body and lifestyle to perform at your best. That's what I'm coming up with anyway. Whether you call it biohacking or something else, today's podcast is all about optimising with one of the world's top biohackers. Ben Greenfield. I saw Ben speak in Austin earlier this year and left with a long list of action points, things to do and buy. Ben was named as one of the world’s top 100 most influential people in health and fitness, and has coached the world's top CEO’s, chefs, biohackers, poker players, tennis, motocross and endurance competitors, and professional athletes from the UFC, the NHL, the NBA, the NFL and beyond – all while advising and investing in top companies in the health, fitness and nutrition industry. Ben is a brilliant, and as you’ll hear, very unique individual. Will you do everything he recommends? Almost certainly not. You might think some of it is a little ext

He's a trainer to the Made in Chelsea stars… but he has the substance and the knowledge to back up the style. Max Lowery is a personal trainer and online health coach, and his particular area of expertise is intermittent fasting, something that can help you burn fat, boost energy levels and banish hunger pangs. He's developed his own method known as The 2 Meal Day, and it was fun to chat to him, at his base at Marble Arch in Central London.

Nike insist their new trainers improve your running speed by 4%. I was quite interested in this, especially as I've been getting involved recently in minimalist footwear. Turns out, that this 4% stat might not be all its cracked up to be. And you could get 4% exercise improvement by natural means, not by buying a flash pair of trainers. Check out today's podcast with the awesome Dr. Ray Mclanahan. And check out CorrectToes too - that stuff is GOOD!

We start today with a stat that may blow your mind. Ever since Scott Nelson from Joovv told me this, I've been changing my daily routine quite considerably. Listen on to find out what it is. Scott owns Joovv - the company that makes the infrared light I use most days - bonkers good for energy, skin health etc and the brightest thing you’ve ever seen in your life. He knows all about light, and the importance of getting plenty of good light.

  Burning Man is on at the moment, so without being too worthy (promise) I ask, what could one festival in the desert teach us about life. What we can learn from my guest's experiences without heading to the middle of nowhere to get copious amounts of dust in our face? And how does a productivity expert apply his professional skills to festival-going, and shouldn't he be just focusing on having fun? Stever Robbins is a well-known productivity expert, and he also happens to love Burning Man. And when I say love, he plans months in advance for this thing.  He's known as the get-it-done guy, and it seems he's applied his get it done guy’s skills to preparing for the world’s most celebrated festival.

Our favourite Law of Attraction expert is back, as seen on Oprah and as heard on Zestology (multiple times). Jeannette Maw is more fun and attracting more good vibes than ever before, after something small, unexpected, and weird happened. It led to big, big consequences and positive changes. Not surprising for the woman who describes herself as "full time manifesting geek". In this podcast you will explore; Choosing to feel good. Finding a way to feel better Expanding Consciousness (the biggie) Enjoy  

Why are we obsessed with the things we want and bored when we get them?  Dopamine is the chemical of desire that always asks for more — more stuff, more stimulation, and more surprises. In pursuit of these things, it is undeterred by emotion, fear, or morality. Simply put, it is why we seek and succeed; it is why we discover and prosper. Yet, at the same time, it’s why we gamble and squander.  Tech has a part to play with dopamine too. Daniel Z. Lieberman finds it as hard as any of us to put the dopamine-providing phone down. So he wrote a book on it... What I love: he has a potentially life-changing proposal in the book: for how we can channel our dopamine more effectively. What is it? Listen on to find out. ​

You could be 30% more attractive after listening to this podcast!   Donna Lancaster is a well-known life and relationship coach who specialises in the area of grief. Or as she puts it, she loves talking about grief. Which might sound weird, but once you hear how she helps us to properly cope with grief and loss, you'll get it.   And there is a link between grief and being 30% more attractive. Honest! Bear with me.   She used to be the head of training for The Hoffman Process and she now owns and runs The Bridge Retreat which is a personal development experience here in the UK. It's described as an emotional detox and a chance to rediscover your zest for life.    Hmm, zest... I'm sure there's a relevance to this podcast somewhere.   DISCOUNT ALERT: After the interview, Donna got back in touch and offered £250 off the six day retreat. You just need to mention ZESTOLOGY when you book.   ​

Dr. Satchin Panda is a bit of a ledge. He’s possibly the world’s most respected area in the field of Circadian rhythms and daily routines that optimise our health. We talk; How to stop peeing in the middle of the night! Bright light at night and eye masks. All the fun of time-restricted eating Supplements - is it okay to take them outside the feeding window. My fasting experiments (geeky I know) coffee, can we drink it as part of an intermittent fast (you might not like this bit…) saturated fat… in evening melatonin supplements what to go for. And an amazing book recommendation too.   This is one of my favourites. Satchin is a real expert in his field. Enjoy. And his new book is called The Circadian Code: Lose Weight, Supercharge Your Energy, and Transform Your Health from Morning to Midnight.

Brandon Block is a British club DJ. He has appeared on reality shows like Celebrity Come Dine with Me and Celebrity Big Brother. He's also had a high-profile battle with addiction, and now launched his own wellness project to bring self development to the masses. It's called Happy Days. After his addiction issues, he trained to help others affected by drugs and alcohol. That training helped him to form his own ideas around his new self development project. Part of Happy Days is about mapping your dreams, and setting your goals in an effective way. Who would have thought it? Celebrity hellraiser Brandon Block is now on the straight and narrow, and he's an absolutely lovely chap as well. He starts by talking about just how bad things had got, when he was at his substance-abusing worst. Check out Brandon Block's Happy Days group on Facebook. 

Listen up if you want the extra 5/10/15% in your day to day life. As well as the crazy influence your thyroid has on your health, we talk lifestyle and weight loss plans in harmony with paleo/primal/ancestral health principles. Elle Russ wrote The Paleo Thyroid Solution. It dispels outdated, conventional thyroid wisdom, and provides the in-depth guidance necessary to achieve vibrant health, and optimise thyroid fat-burning hormone metabolism. She knows her stuff.

Is it possible to feel calm and strong at the same time? I think so... I've been getting more and more into Qi Gong workshops and youtube videos over the last couple of years, there's something about it that makes me feel chilled out and powerful, all at the same time. But I don't really know what I'm doing, hence today's guest. Breathing exercises, Qi Gong, and eastern healing, are the subjects of this week's podcast on Zestology. With my cool new friend Justin Ehrlich -  https://www.justinehrlich.com/about-justin

Okay, if you are partial to the odd pie or sandwich, you need this podcast. I love this guy. Dr. William Davis hit the big time with his book on gluten years ago, and he's still crushing it worldwide.  Every day we eat food products made of wheat. Well I don't, having given it up years ago, but many do, and as a result millions of people experience some form of adverse health effect. They range from minor rashes and high blood sugar to the unattractive stomach bulges that preventative cardiologist Dr. William Davis calls ‘wheat bellies’.  In this podcast we discuss gluten sensitivity, how good / bad gluten is for us, and what we should do if have no symptoms at all and feel great after chowing down a large sandwich. BONUS BITS: Also, there are great recommendations today on Vitamin D (which I've already acted on), and stand by for the crazy yoghurt chat, that's one of the best bits of the podcast. 

NOTE FROM TONY - UPDATED AFTER AUDIO ISSUE BUT ON SPOTIFY ORIGINAL FILE IS STILL THERE. DON'T ASK ME WHY BUT THIS IS ONE YOU'LL HAVE TO LISTEN TO SOMEWHERE ELSE BECAUSE SOME LOUD MUSIC COMES IN HALF WAY THROUGH. CHECK TONYWRIGHTON.COM OR ANOTHER SERVICE. HAVE A GREAT DAY Fasting is a regular topic on Zestology. Not eating for a certain length of time every day. There seems no doubt it's good for us. But for how long? How strict should we be? What's allowed and not allowed? I've delved deep into this stuff and I've still got more questions than answers. So my friend Phil White is back to talk fasting for a very specific 17 hours a day. Rest assured I pepper him with questions about it, cos when you look at the promises and the benefits of fasting, it seems important to get it right... - Cut cholesterol, reduce bacterial overgrowth, and lower toxins  - Start making lifestyle changes that lower body weight and BMI and reduce body fat  - Improve digestive issues like IBS, fatty liver disease, and acid reflux  -
