I've often heard about taking a boat load of vitamin C when you get a cold to get rid of it quickly. But I've never quite known if it was actually true or not. That's why I wanted to interview Dr. Andrew Saul, AKA MegaVitamin Man. He says yes - huge amounts of Vitamin C are a natural anti-viral and can banish all kinds of ailments. So, high dose vitamins, could they be the answer to many of our health problems?  Dr. Andrew Saul, “The MegaVitamin Man”, has 40 years of experience in natural health. His peer-reviewed website, www.DoctorYourself.com, is one of the largest non-commercial natural health resources on the internet, it's pretty awesome. And when you hear his story about how he brought his kids up, it'll make you think. But are huge doses of Vitamins really good for us? I've definitely been upping my Vit C dosage since speaking to Dr. Andrew. And you can listen to his podcast interview right now, by clicking here on iTunes , Spotify and tonywrighton.com As always, please consult your doctor before maki

It's all about The Journey. TIME Magazine called him one of the “Top 100 Most Influential People in the World” and he's on today's podcast, reminding us to enjoy the journey. I'm still buzzing after our latest live event in London. It was just so cool to meet lots of friendly Zestologists doing some innovative (some would say crazy) stuff to improve their energy and performance levels. We also had the legendary ultramarathoner Dean Karnazes there - the man who never stretches, even after running 300 miles!  Dean is a big name. So impressive that TIME named him one of the “Top 100 Most Influential People in the World” and Men’s Fitness honored him as one of the fittest men on the planet. Our topic this week? Motivation, mindset, challenges and why they're so important We go general and specific. We’re chatting nitty gritty, including how Dean knocked off 50 marathons spanning 50 U.S. states in just 50 days and what it takes to run 350 miles across 80 sleep-free hours. Listen up now. Even if you aren’t angling

On today's podcast - how to feel like you've just downed a quadruple espresso with none of the downsides. That's how it feels after some oxygen therapy you'll hear me roadtesting today. Specifically, I have two real experts in the field of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. Eh? What's that? It's a pretty cool way to feel unbelievably great, quickly.  Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy helps patients suffering from sports injuries, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, infections, arthritis and a huge range of other medical conditions. HBOT is also used by biohackers because of the real benefits for our general health and wellness too. You're basically breathing the purest oxygen possible in a tank.  I've been filming videos inside the tank over on my facebook page too. Get the quadruple espressos in! Enjoy.

We have a new format. It's the Zestology Q and A. Let me know if you like it and think it works - I'd genuinely appreciate your feedback as I'd like to know if this idea is a good one in future. Dr. Stephen Simpson is one of my regular Zestology guests. He works with top professional poker players such as Chris Moorman and Liv Boeree on helping them achieve their potential in every area of your life. Today's podcast is Dr. Steve and me answering your questions. Thank you for posting them, remember to let me know what you think, and if you have any questions for future episodes that's cool too... Dr. Stephen Simpson is an Elite Performance Coach, medical doctor, and NLP expert. Enjoy the podcast - it also contains details on the one supplement that's made a big impact for me recently and why. It's called CBS/BHMT Assist (I know - doesn't exactly sound exciting but it is honest!)

Coming up: The best way to prevent a hangover Why meditation works so well When the law of attraction and natural wine collide! If you drink alcohol, listening to this podcast may change your hangovers forever. I do - moderately, and my hangovers have got steadily worse over the years. I even staretd to feel like I was getting a hangover during drinking. Until Dave Asprey introduced me to Todd White. Todd runs America's largest natural wine company Dry Farm Wines, and it turns out much of what makes us feel bad is the preservatives put in alcohol. Take them out, and you might start to feel considerably better. Todd came over to my place and we recorded this podcast on wine, meditation (this is my fave bit of the podcast), and more. Listen to this before your next glass of something nice.)

Body Language expert Elizabeth Kunhke gave me a fantastic interview. She's so much fun. Ever wondered about Donald Trump's body language? What about the body language differences between him and Vladimir Putin? And how on earth can you communicate non-verbally to get what you want? Elizabeth wrote the huge global best-seller Body Language for Dummies, so she knows a thing or two about this topic. If you enjoy the podcast, I'd be grateful if you might consider forwarding it to a friend who'd get something out of it too, and assure them that there are not normally in-depth analyses of Donald Trump's hands! Thanks and have a great week.

Ben Coomber and I go in depth into health, fitness, stress and cortisol, how to test for this (and whether it's absolutely necessary to test in the first place.) He's got loads of passion and is a brilliant guest. Ben is one of the UK's top personal trainers and nutritionists and he's also got his own supplement range called Awesome Supplements. He's also a top bloke. One of the best parts of this podcast is why Ben wouldn't recommend his own supplements!  I've released this as a special bonus episode as I wanted to get this to you quickly. I hope you enjoy. Oh. And you'll hear why eating Cheerios isn't necessarily a good idea.

James Swanwick specialises in sleep gadgets, helping us to get to sleep, sleep deeper and importantly the really annoying bit of getting back to sleep when you wake up in the middle of the night and then are wide awake.  So today: How to protect yourself from blue light in the evenings and revolutionise your sleep and health, and do it whilst looking (relatively) cool at the same time! James also talks about energy, clarity, and reads a book a day. What! How? James and I have got a scary amount in common so there was plenty to chat about. James Swanwick presents his own podcast - The James Swanwick Show and you can check out all his sleep stuff at swanwicksleep.com. 

Relationships, setting boundaries, and living with integrity This week on Zestology I speak to an extraordinary author - Dr. Robert Glover. He's simply awesome on relationships, setting boundaries, and living with integrity. I contacted him because I admire his work, and I'm pleased he came on the show. He's a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and wrote the cult classic No More Mr Nice Guy. 

Trust me. You REALLY need to listen to this podcast. Coming up. Why we need to worry about EMFs Protect yourself from cancer Do laptops have a significant impact on fertility? Protecting your sensitive areas! I've been trying to set this interview up for 9 months, and I'm so excited it's finally happened. I genuinely think it's one of the most important Zestology podcasts I've recorded. Daniel is a leader in shielding electronic emissions and protecting our bodies from potentially harmful radiation. He's spent his career as a technical expert in telecommunications, and now is highly focused on the electromagnetic field (EMF) radiation exposures from electronic devices. Basically, he knows his stuff. And that stuff is pretty worrying. So listen on, and do me a favour - don't put that phone in your pocket anymore. (Unless it is in airport mode).  

How Tapping and Emotional Freedom Therapy can help you. And how it helped me.  On this episode: How the crazy concept of tapping on various parts of the face and body is becoming more and more popular. Is this the most important podcast I've ever recorded? How "Tapping" helped me I've been meaning to record a podcast with Ashley Meyer of the Energy Therapy Centre for a long time. But as you'll here in today's podcast, I haven't quite felt ready until now. That's because I've worked with Ashley for quite a few years, with genuinely incredible results, and it felt quite private to bring it into the podcast. But now - who cares - I just want you to know about the potential of EFT or 'tapping' as well. Obviously it's not for everyone (see diagram below), and I get that straightaway it looks kind of weird. So bear with me. It's no exaggeration to say that when I took 3 months off work because of illness, this, and Ashley, were the things more than anything else that helped me get back to health. That's why I th

Dean Karnazes is a celebrated Ultra Marathon Runner. In fact they call him Ultra MarathonMan because he’s broken so many boundaries. So on this podcast: How to get your head in the right place Get into an ultra mindset right now, as you listen Also. What happens if you don't sleep for three days? (Dean did this) This week it's Ultramarathon man Dean Karnazes on Zestology. He came on around a year ago and was awesome, so I wanted to get him back on. He’s one of the worlds most prolific runners and a big name. If you want to get inspired - check out Dean on Zestology today here on iTunes, here on Spotify, and here on the website. He also ran for 3 days straight, without stopping and without sleeping. SO what's that got to do with mindset? Find out on Zestology. And remember to check out my other interview with Dean a while back

More from my travels. As you know I was on the road recently in Seattle, Tokyo, Bali and Dubai. And in Bali I met up with Zestology fave and celebrated yoga teacher Meghan Currie. And her super cute dogs (see blog pic). Meghan has much to offer for anyone who is interested in living in and loving every moment. As well as being a celebrated yoga teacher, Meghan Currie also blogs to her army of followers about travel and putting raw food on your face. Last time we spoke she lived... nowhere. I couldn't believe it. She was constantly on the road, touring, holding trainings and workshops and living on the road. That's all changed - and there was a lot to catch up on.

Ever been tempted to spend a week in a dark room with electrodes stuck to your head? I did that recently and I'm here to tell the tale. As you know I've been travelling for the last month - a trip for learning, adventures and new experiences, and this is what I did for the first week of my travels. Bulletproof's Dave Asprey has taken the 40 Years Of Zen program eight times. He joins me in this special podcast recorded in Seattle.  So what is 40 Years Of Zen? It's an immersive retreat and essentially what happens is you get electrodes attached to your head which read your brainwaves. It's called neurofeedback, and I know many people are interested in taking this program. So I was keen to record a podcast with Dave to explain exactly what you get for your money. It's not cheap but I had a worthwhile time and I'm still seeing the benefits. The big benefit for me, as you'll hear, was some deep deep self-awareness. You'll also hear how I was trusting enough to let the doctors at 40 Years Of Zen send an electrical

This was a fun one to record. I'm on the road in Seattle, Tokyo, and Bali.  And this podcast is part travel blog and pass road testing a new device called the human charger which gives you energy and helps with jetlag - the Human Charger. 

I've long been super suspicious about smart drugs, so I'm going to take some convincing. Is my guest on this podcast the man to prove it? Because today on the Zestology podcast, I interview a guy who's made it his mission to get us into 'peak brain state' more often.  Covered on this episode of Zestology Are 'smart drugs' safe? Is there a drug that can make us smarter? How do we get into peak brain state more often? What legal supplements and stacks could we take to improve our brain function? Dr. Andrew Hill runs the Peak Brain Institute, and also leads the team of TruBrain neuroscientists that have put together some interesting and groundbreaking supplement products. They say they have helped CEOs, hedge fund managers, and artists achieve new levels of performance by using advanced neurotech devices to measure their brainwaves data when they were deep in thought, managing stress, juggling distractions, and thinking on their feet. This podcast is brought to you by Bulletproof Coffee and supplements. This m

Here's what happened when I went to meet my old friend, TV's Richard Arnold. Richard is known to millions who watch him on Good Morning Britain every morning. He also appeared on Strictly Come Dancing (the UK version of Dancing With The Stars. One of the great things about Zestology is sometimes we go in depth on health, nutrition, supplements, lifestyle hacks, and sometimes keep it more general by chatting to someone who has had lots of success and find out exactly what makes them tick, and what motivates them. And when Richard and I got together for a Zestology chat, we both got all reflective. How often do you think about getting older? Might this be the best time of your life? What is the best way to deal with ageing? How do we maintain motivation as we get (a bit!) older? How do we improve with age? (Fine wine anyone?)

  Love and relationships. How do you make it all work? Because let's be honest, when that goes well, most things seem to slot into place.  Giulia Rozzi is a writer, comedian, actress, producer and "very emotional person" (her words!). Her life is basically her work. When her marriage broke down, she performed her hit show Bad Bride all over the world. Now she presents the podcast Hopefully We Don't Split Up with her new(ish) boyfriend.  This podcast involved her grilling me about my love life too. Wow. It was a lot of fun... and Giulia has picked up a lot of relationships wisdom on her comedic journey. Just don't call her a Relationship Expert.

He's back. So good he's got two podcasts to himself! John Gray is a real friend of Zestology. He is the world’s biggest selling non-fiction hardback author of all time. He wrote Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus, and was a huge hit when he came on Zestology a while back. Especially the bit when he talked about being celibate for 9 years. So he came on Zestology again, and this time I wanted to ask him about maximising our energy and hormones. In this podcast, lots of nutrition and stuff
