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

John Gray 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. He was on fire.. . I mean wind him up and let him go. Incredible form, the man has so much energy, and since this podcast is about energy, that’s good, right? The lifestyle practice that is “better than drugs”. How to not get stressed, (even when you are getting taken to court…) The surefire way to maximise your hormones. (For men and women.)

Get inspired, lit up and optimistic about this year with the Law of Attraction. This year, I wanted to focus on creating a podcast for you right at the start of 2017 that focuses on achieving exactly what you want, using one of the most powerful techniques that's featured on the show over the last year. And it turns out the key is not resolutions, but New Year's Intentions. Once you make them intentions, the pressure is off, and the Law of Attraction starts to send you towards what you want with powerful energy. Please do listen to the podcast for more on creating good intentions for the year ahead. How can the Law of Attraction help us make this year our best ever? What is the best way to write down our 2017 goals? The secret little behaviours that lead to big wins To answer those questions, I've done two things. Firstly, I've chatted to Zestology Law of Attraction expert Jeannette Maw. She's been on Oprah to talk LOA, and she knows her stuff. She's also been the guest on the most downloaded Zestology show

It's been almost two years since I started Zestology: The Podcast. It's been a fun journey. Sure, we are not quite at Tim Ferriss audience levels yet but growing quickly and people really seem to enjoy listening which I'm thrilled about. We even got featured in Esquire mag last week which was nice. So today the blog and podcast is a special end of year show bringing together my favourite guests/pics/interviews this year. You can listen here, or head to www.tonywrighton.com to see the pics. I'm back in 2017 with (wait for it) 5 podcasts in the first 3 days of the year. Yep, I've been busy at work. This includes two exclusive podcasts for Spotify featuring a couple of globally recognised music stars. More to come soon, but for now, have a cracking Xmas and holidays. 

Mike and Suzie are health coaches, and big names in the health field. They're also married, so quite a bit of their work is on relationships and connections. In fact, Mike and suzie spend all their time together, what with being married and working together. They have a successful show on nutrition and healthy living, work with clients, and they live together, so how do they do it? How do they get on just so well…  and how do they stay loving to each other. It turns out that mindfulness is a huge part of what they do… and you’re going to hear about that today. It goes deep - with discussion on stoicism, buddhism and more... This podcast is brought to you by the delish Bulletproof Coffee.

Anyone who describes themselves as an 'anti-guru' is okay in my book. This world of wellbeing and personal development is probably too full of people promising to change your life when actually they couldn't change a lightbulb. So welcome back one of my all-time fave podcast guests. It's almost a year ago that I interviewed Sarah Knight on Zestology. She wrote a brililant book called The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F**k! I keep seeing people reading this book all over London. It's been a huge hit for Sarah. The interview contained such amusing parts as the four categories of potential F*** giving. Now she's written a new book - Get Your Sh*t Together: How to stop worrying about what you should do so you can finish what you need to do and start doing what you want to do. So how exactly do we do that?? Let's find out...

“You have the worst facial injury I have ever seen” Those were the words Days of our Lives actor and Model Andy Hnilo heard when he came round after a horrific car accident in West Hollywood. His career, his health, and his dreams shattered, he spiralled into a long depression. And the thing he found that eventually lifted him out, provided his salvation. Andy now makes an incredible (I'm not using that word lightly) skincare brand with all natural ingredients. This stuff is the real deal. I'm a total convert. And yes, it's the first time ever I've been persuaded to use a clay mask.  Why you need to listen to this podcast: There are a lot of hidden nasties in your skincare products. A lot. I thought I'd sorted out mine, and then I grabbed one and read the ingredients out to Andy. I was in for a shock. Check out Andy Hnilo's awesome Alitura brand, and listen to Zestology.

A Law of Attraction experiment. Attracting good vibes with author Jeannette Maw #90 Are you ready to fire up your cosmic good vibes? Last time Jeannette Maw came on Zestology, something very strange happened. We used the Law of Attraction to see if we could get more listeners to the podcast, with incredible results. It turned out to be the most listened-to podcast I've ever recorded, by quite a long way. So obviously I had to have Jeannette back on, and this time, something even better I hope. Stand by for a Law of Attraction experiment with Good Vibe Coach Jeannette Maw.  Before you even listen though, have a think about what you would like to manifest. What you'd like to change, or have in your life that you don't have now. Ready? Okay, time to bring on Jeannette Maw.

This US election was a source of stress for 52% of American adults according to the American Psychological Association. There have been multiple reports of election-related fears arising on therapists’ couches as never before, along with anecdotes of relationships damaged by political disagreement. (Taken from The Guardian). So whoever you voted for, based on the above figures you may not have feeling quite so much energy, vitality and motivation over the past few days. So when Zestology friend of the show, yogi and adventurer Lucy McCarthy and I met yesterday, the original plan kind of went out the window.  This isn't a trump-bashing podcast. I'm fully aware that some listeners may have voted for him. It's more about how we deal with the extraordinary stimulation and fear levels that many of us have experienced over the past few weeks, and are still experiencing now. After election stress, we move on to lighter, and more enjoyable topics including voyaging

She's also into Paleo lifestyle factors such as sunlight, earthing, water treatments, detox, correct breathing, natural movement, and relaxation practices. You'll enjoy today's podcast a lot - even if she may not convince you (or me) to eat what she does.

Research has proven that Raw Paleo foods are powerful medicine.  To further improve her clients’ wellness, Melissa Henig’s coaching program includes Paleo lifestyle factors such as sunlight, earthing, water treatments, detox, correct breathing, natural movement, and relaxation practices.  

So I was in California recently. I got to record a few podcasts, not least with Zestology regular The Life Stylist Luke Storey. Here's what happened when we went to the beach in Santa Barbara and recorded a podcast, joined by our good mate Ryan Carter. Includes:  A simple hack to make your fridge totally awesome. (Don't pretend you're not intrigued by this!) Luke Storey is well known as a stylist, appearing regularly on MTV and VH1 and working with top names like Kanye West, Marilyn Manson, Foo Fighters, Kim Kardashian and many more. But he's also a biohacker, experimenter, coach and he is now becoming as famous for this as for his styling work.  So as always, there was a lot to talk about.

Uri Geller has had an astonishing amount of press and publicity over the years. He's been on primetime TV and front page news for bending spoons, paranormal experiments, influencing football matches, being best mates with Michael Jackson and all sorts of other psychic shenanigans. Now he speaks at huge consciousness conferences and energy events around the world. Hmmm - energy - well, that got me thinking about getting him on Zestology. I first interviewed Uri 16 years ago when I was a radio presenter on Atlantic 252. I spoke to him a few times over the years, but we'd lost touch until I contacted him recently and asked him to come on the podcast. This might be one of the more controversial podcasts I've recorded so far. Why? Well, because it's Uri really. Some love him and some don't. But prepare for a fascinating, interesting and fun journey on Zestology today. If you're sceptical about Uri, that's cool, rest assured I ask him about all the negative publicity he's received over the years. I don't let him

Next time on Zestology: Uri Geller has been in the public eye for decades. Now he speaks at huge consciousness conferences and energy events around the world. Hmmm - energy - well, that got me thinking about getting him on Zestology. And... guess what, it turns out Uri still bends spoons. So grab a spoon, and get listening to the wonderful Uri Geller on Zestology, next time.

How to improve your focus with leading performance coach Karl Morris #83 According to scientists, we are surrounded by so much technology these days, even a goldfish can now focus on something for longer than a human. Researchers surveyed 2,000 participants, and the results showed the average human attention span has fallen from 12 seconds in 2000, or around the time the mobile revolution began, to eight seconds. Goldfish, meanwhile, are believed to have an attention span of nine seconds. Yeh, we need to do something about this. When I spoke to my friend Karl Morris on Zestology a while back, it got a big response. He's a leading performance coach in the world of sport and kind of a big deal (though he'd be far too modest to admit that himself). Last time we looked at designing a good day, and asked the question, 'What does a good day look like'. So we've gone in for more good days, more staying in the present and more what Karl calls Neutral Thinking.  It all adds up to improving your focus and attention. Ho
