The Tony Wrighton Podcast

I have a lot of conversations IRL about peptides. What about you?

What if peptides could change the way we think about healing, recovery, muscle, health and longevity?

I'm joined by Jay Campbell, a six-time international bestselling author and leading authority on hormones, peptides, health optimisation and human longevity.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Jay's incredible last 14 days (this has to be heard to be believed!) • How peptides may support healing, recovery, muscle and longevity • GLP-1 peptides, metabolic health and fat loss • The connection between oral health, inflammation and overall wellbeing • Why peptide quality, testing and batch traceability matter • Muscle, healthy ageing and the future of personalised longevity

It's a conversation that takes us from biological dentistry and biohacking to peptides, muscle, recovery and the future of longevity.

What if addiction isn't really about the thing we're addicted to?

Featuring an update on what I've been up to (very exciting, very competitive, very middle-aged man!).

Then, in this episode from the vault, one of my all-time faves, I met renowned physician, author and addiction expert Dr. Gabor Maté for a wide-ranging conversation about addiction, trauma, childhood, parenting, technology, consciousness and what it means to live a more vital life.

In this episode: • What addiction really is — and why it isn't just about drugs • Addiction, trauma and childhood experiences • Why we develop addictive behaviours • How shame can make addiction harder to overcome • Consciousness, choice and personal agency • Parenting and the emotional needs of children • Why children "act out" • Discipline versus punishment • Technology, smartphones and screen addiction • Social media and the loss of genuine connection • How childhood experiences can affect adult behaviour • Finding your natural energy, creativity and vitality • Gabor's recommendation for a life-changing book

Dr. Gabor Maté is a physician, author and internationally recognised speaker whose work focuses on addiction, trauma, stress, childhood development and the mind-body connection. He is the author of In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts, Scattered Minds and, with Gordon Neufeld, Hold On to Your Kids.

What happens when your body starts reacting to something it once seemed perfectly happy to tolerate? In this fascinating conversation,

I'm joined by Dr Rob Whitfield, a world-renowned plastic surgeon and leading expert in breast implant illness and explant surgery, to explore the hidden connections between breast implants, chronic inflammation, histamine intolerance, mould exposure, gut health, infections and the immune system.

Dr Rob explains why our medical history may be far more important than we realise, how previous exposures can shape the way our bodies respond to surgery and foreign materials, and what he has learned from thousands of patients and more than 3,000 explant procedures.

Dr Rob also discusses mast cell activation, biofilms, silicone implants, genetics, environmental toxins and the increasingly important question of why some people develop mysterious symptoms when their bodies encounter something they don't recognise. An eye-opening conversation about breast implant illness, histamine intolerance and the complex relationship between the human body and its environment.

September is when the bugs come back for everyone. Here's how to fight back.

Today we cover:

• What a journalist learns about the wellness industry once she's on the other side of the notebook.

• Why September is the start of cold season for all of us, not just families with kids, and whether the "immunity dip" is real

• Lactoferrin explained: the protein in breast milk that steals iron from bacteria.

• Colostrum, the influencer supplement of the moment, and why Stephanie thinks one molecule beats the whole thing.

Stephanie Drax is a journalist (Sunday Telegraph, FT, Vanity Fair, Condé Nast Traveller) and the founder of Leapfrog Remedies, the UK's first lactoferrin supplement brand. Find her at leapfrogremedies.com

A throwback episode to when I hosted Dean Karnazes in front of a live audience in London. TIME Magazine called him one of the "Top 100 Most Influential People in the World" He is a long-distance runner so impressive that Men's Fitness honored him as one of the fittest men on the planet. Even if you aren't angling to run a marathon (or run anything for that matter), Dean's got a lot to say on getting and staying motivated no matter what you're up against. He's also quite simply a very nice man, one of life's winners who's a good guy as well.
