The Tony Wrighton Podcast

The best-selling author Melissa Ambrosini, a well-known meditation teacher, as well as a nutrition expert joins me on Zestology, and would it be wrong to call her a lifestyle guru? She is, she's extraordinarily successful and you may well have heard of her.

She's written a book on relationships which is called Open Wide: A Radically Real Guide to Deep Love, Rocking Relationships, and Soulful Sex… not asking much then! And it's been extraordinarily popular. So we get on to that, and also we talk;

• Getting back to nature.
• Living in the place that makes you happiest and creating your own reality.
• We discuss Louise Hay and how it messes with your head when you feel rubbish physically, and what's going on in the mind is helping to cause those physical symptoms.
• Acuenergetics (yup I'd never heard of it either)
• meditation teacher.

It's a general chat, I enjoyed chatting to Melissa, this isn't one of those podcasts when we dig deep into diet, or supplements, or biohacking, it's more lifestyle tweaks, and stories for more energy, and more motivated relationships and life.

Holy shiitake! It's a special biohacking episode today.

Biohacking is getting the best out of your body and life by adapting your environment, lifestyle and diet. I've been into it for a while though not always calling it biohacking. Biohacking is a weird phrase for some, so if you rather, you could just call it optimising your mind and body.

Sometimes biohacking involves gadgets and tech, sometimes it involves using supplements, sometimes it involves getting back to a more primal state. Sometimes it involves gadgets, tech and supplements to help you get back to or mimic a more primal natural state.

Yes, yes, I know you just want to get to the shiitake, and trust me it's a great hack.

We'll look at who invented biohacking, and mainly hear from the experts.

Have an open mind, and play around with some of the techniques and tools in this podcast. You'll find supplements, gadgets, practices and lots more, so go ahead and start biohacking.

One of the most popular pages on my website for a while has been the hacks page. This podcast is a podcast version of that. I'm considering it as a regular feature, but I'm not sure yet. What do you think? A regular Zest update on what I've been up to, what is making the news, what is popular, what seems to be working for people?

For instance - there's a new hay fever product which seems to be really capturing people's imagination. I've been trying it, others I know have been trying it, and it'd be great to have a regular podcast like this to let you know about it. But maybe not. Let me know what you think.

Today's hacks:

• Yolife
• Pycognecol
• Histaminx
• Quercetin
• Low Histamine diet
• Wellness festivals

You can find a list of some of my best hacks here, hacks, products and tweaks. There's also a new page on biohacking at www.tonywrighton.com/biohacking which is everything you ever wanted to know about that subject..

What even is histamine intolerance? And why should you be concerned by it? Good questions! It's very common, and these questions are answered on this podcast. Dr. Joneja has written 7 books in the area of how we react to food, food allergies and intolerances, and digestive tract reactions to foods.

Histamine, as you'll hear, is important, but when the total body level of histamine gets too high, all sorts of odd, unpleasant symptoms can occur, and often, histamine sensitivity and histamine intolerance is not diagnosed, because people don't know about this stuff. And that might be happening to you now. It certainly was happening to me.

We cover these areas on the podcast

• What is it
• How is it diagnosed
• Is it bad for you if there's too much.
• How do I know I'm histamine sensitive?
• Is coffee okay with histamine intolerance or histamine sensitivity?
• How to work out what's okay to eat
• Dao supplements seem to have talc in them. Is this healthy? What about Grass-fed Kidney supplements for histamine intolerance.
• Please let me still eat chocolate!
