Next time on Zestology; Find an extra 5%, perform better, and learn the scary truth about dry cleaning with health journalist Laura Bond.  It's a good one, recorded on the scene in London. It's coming this weekend.

An outstanding performance coach and endurance athlete featured this week. This podcast is all about connecting with nature, and getting out into the great outdoors, even when it’s very cold, or very hot. (Note if you are currently enduring a Northern Hemisphere winter, this is a good one for you.) Endurance athlete and performance coach Anna-Marie Watson has an extraordinary love of the great outdoors. She's completed arctic warfare training with the british military, scaled mountains in Nepal, and last year came second female in the Marathon des Sables, ranked as “toughest footrace on earth”. It's basically six days of running across the Sahara Desert. (I know - sounds horrible!) But what can we learn from her experience, and what does she work on with her clients?

When most of us think about detoxing for the new year, we only think about giving up the alcohol for a few weeks after a exuberant festive season. But there's more to a proper detox than just throwing those extra bottles of booze away. And if you perhaps got involved in too much turkey, mince pies, and festive spirit over Christmas, you'll enjoy today's show. At the start of the new year, I've got a true detox expert on Zestology Podcast. Dr. Dan Pompa coaches many from around the world with what are considered unexplainable illnesses back to health. And he does this, by helping you to detox. He talks about the epidemic of toxicity (nb, this is more than just too many mince pies over Christmas). And also how do we know if we have some kind of toxicity in our system?   JOIN the Zestology MAILING LIST by going to our website (http://www.tonywrighton.com) Connect with Tony on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/tonywrighton If you love the show, please take a moment to rate & review it on iTunes.

It's a New Year special, all based around achieving your goals, setting your goals the right way, and actually getting things done. Coming up, myself and elite performance coach Dr. Stephen Simpson will answer these questions. Do New Year's Resolutions actually work? What is the best way to write down our 2016 goals? How do we make sure that they actually stick? The secret little behaviours that lead to big wins To answer those questions, I've got together on Zestology with my very wise friend Dr. Stephen Simpson for a special start-to-2016 podcast, to discuss the perfect approach to goal setting.

A doctor that sings to his patients. I know - it sounds utterly crazy doesn't it. I must admit I was super sceptical before I interviewed Dr. Steven Eisenberg, and now I confess I'm won over by his sheer energy and enthusiasm for looking after his patients physical and emotional wellbeing. But you can make your own mind up. Just make sure you listen, as he's a true healer, and he's certainly not conventional. He's won awards for the way he looks after his patients. How good would it be to have a doctor that looked after your emotional as well as your physical needs? Dr. Steven Eisenberg is a board certified oncologist who is certified in Internal Medicine, Medical Oncology and Hematology, and is most known for his love of writing songs for people living with cancer through The Lyrical Life Foundation.  He was just nominated for Best Bedside Manner for Medical Specialties in the Tri-city Medical Center, Academy Awards and for good reason. He also has tens of thousands of followers on social media and now has h

Dan Harris on meditation. Does it make you 10% happier? #39 Learn how to tame the voice in your head Reduce stress without losing your edge Find self-help that actually works. I was having a coffee with my mate James a couple of months ago and he recommended me a book called 10% Happier. "I haven't read it yet, so I can't vouch for it", he said, "but someone told me it's good". Hmmm, not exactly the most enthusiastic of endorsements, but for some reason I decided to go and buy the book anyway. A couple of months on, I'm blown away by how good it is, and how inspiring it was for me personally. The story starts with American ABC Good Morning America presenter Dan Harris having a traumatic breakdown, live on air. This experience leads him down the path of trying to find answers, which he eventually does with meditation, the thing that makes him '10% happier'. I messaged Dan straight after I finished the book, and I'm so pleased he's come on Zestology. He's got a great story, and this is undoubtedly one of my a

Next time on Zestology, ABC News anchor and correspondent Dan Harris. The story starts with American ABC Good Morning America presenter Dan Harris having a traumatic breakdown live on air. This experience leads him down the path of trying to find answers, which he eventually does. But how? All this coming next time, on Zestology.

What meat should you eat? What plants should you have on your plate? When should you take probiotics? What effect are antibiotics having on our general health worldwide? Les Dethlefsen is a gut microbiota scientist, and a bit of a genius. He leads studies in Microbiology at Relman labs at Stanford University in California on the dynamics of the human microbiota. He has a Ph.D. in both Microbiology and Ecology/Evolutionary Biology from Michigan State. In this podcast, we talk gut bacteria and how they affect our health, our lifestyle, our physiology, and our minds.

What if there were natural plants and herbs which would help you have more energy, sleep better, feel more alive, get more relaxed when you need it and sleep better? Today on Zestology podcast, I continue my LA adventure by hanging out with Shannon Drake, an inspiring entrepreneur who runs two health companies and has so much to offer for those seeking alternative health and wellbeing solutions. Be warned, once you've listened you may well be changing a few things in your life, such as the toothpaste you use. As you can see, we hung out on the roof of the Ace Hotel in Downtown L.A. Spectacular spot. As well as focusing on legal herbs (or 'erbs as Shannon and all Americans call them!), our chat is wide-ranging, and amongst other things covers the joys and delights of Burning Man festival. Listen on now for the podcast, and I'd love to know what you think, so leave a comment on iTunes on what you think of Shannon's plants and herb recommendations and the ones you might take?

If you had a simple breathing technique which helped you relax in stressful situations, get calm when you really needed it and even get to sleep at night, would you use it? Today on Zestology podcast, some awesome stories, great fun, and an in depth look at three specific breathing techniques with Lucy Bruegger. Lucy is a London based yoga teacher, a friend of mine and an awesome teacher with a very broad approach. I love Lucy’s work so much so I went and did some yoga with her in Greece (scroll down to see the amazing spot we went to). She’s had a huge number of different trainings not just in yoga but in all different types of meditative and spiritual practices, including, as you’ll hear, some surprising stories and some crazy experiences such as spending 11 days in a row saying absolutely nothing at all. A silent retreat. (There is no way I could ever do this. I might struggle with 11 minutes.) Rest assured we talk all about that, and in fact dig into some of the most crazy personal development experiences

How to improve your life with NLP, meditation and hypnosis, recorded live in London with Tony Wrighton #34 The set of skills that can help you be happier, healthier and more persuasive. Millions use NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) every day, and I've trained to the highest level in it. It's the basis for my books, audiobooks and underpins much of what we do on Zestology too. But what the hell is NLP - apart from a strange and slightly confusing name - and how could you use it now?  I recently made a conference speech about Zestology, meditation and the power of NLP. So this week’s Zestology podcast was recorded live at the NLP Talks event in Central London. My musings were basically a series of stories from my life and how NLP has shaped it, changed it and improved it.  The event also included the best heckle I've ever had! Listen out at around 16 minutes on the podcast for this random shout out from the crowd. If you'd like any of the following, then listen on for my personal experiences of NLP. Feel hap
