The Tony Wrighton Podcast

From sleep and stress to behaviour change and emotional healing, hypnosis is being taken increasingly seriously by neuroscience, performance psychology, and clinical therapy.

In this episode of Biohacking News, I'm joined by Glenn Harrold, one of the world's most successful hypnotherapists and multi-million-selling author.

He's an old friend, lives in my home town here in Portugal, and me and him have sparred at the top of the audiobook charts for many years.

Check out Glenn Harrold's new book Awaken and Ascend on Amazon now

We explore how hypnosis works at the level of the nervous system and subconscious mind, why old patterns are so hard to break, and how emotional conditioning shapes health, habits, and decision-making for life.

This is not stage hypnosis or party tricks. It is brain training, behavioural rewiring, and deep mental recovery.

Coming up today, RIP dieting. Why the "January diet" mindset is scientifically doomed to fail, and why radical, deeper approaches to diet are getting stunning results.

Today on Biohacking News, New Year's Resolutions are starting to waver, especially when it comes to physical health.

So, how are biohackers hacking that?

I'm joined by health coach and author Max Lowery, founder of the Never Diet Again movement. We talk about:

• why most New Year weight-loss resolutions fail by February
• how to break the "all-or-nothing" mindset
• and the small, science-backed habits that actually move the needle.

If you're tired of calorie-counting, guilt cycles, and short-term results, and you want your New Year's resolutions to stick until February, this one's for you.

It's 2026, and the Resolution Illusion is alive and well.

Every January, the same thing happens.

Everyone sets goals, faithfully writes them down or downloads an app to help, and eventually gives up by February.

But what if the problem isn't motivation? What if it's the way we approach goals in the first place?

That's what today's episode is all about... the science, and the changing trends, around goal-setting, habit formation, and mindset.

I know I said 'see you next year' in the last episode.

This is just a short podcast-check-in.

A proper Merry Christmas, and a quick heads-up on what's coming in January so you're not left wondering.
