Tony Wrighton: Is Wellness Making You Sick?
listen on
Mold, EMFs, Histamine & the Biohacking Rain Barrel
Tony Wrighton was once a high-energy presenter on Sky Sports. Now? He’s the guy who walks into a café wearing EMF shorts, uses tapping to help his 5-year-old poop, and might just be the most nuanced voice in biohacking right now.
In this refreshingly honest and surprisingly funny conversation, we explore how Tony’s years of mysterious gut issues and burnout turned out to be histamine intolerance… caused by mold exposure in his student housing decades earlier. We also get real about the biohacks that don’t work, parenting in the digital age, EMF fails, and why the best hacks are still free.
Tony’s also the host of the popular Zestology podcast.
