The Tony Wrighton Podcast

This podcast is very close to my heart. I run my online masterclasses on a regular basis (you can join an upcoming one here https://histaminet1.tonywrighton.com/) and I get so many people asking me about histamine intolerance in kids. So many parents are going through so much with their kids and are desperate for answers.  So it is my great pleasure to welcome a world expert in Children's Integrative Health, Nicole Fearnall.  In this podcast we discuss: Increasing instances of neurodivergence in kids  The link between histamine intolerance, neurodivergence, and child illnesses  The gut-brain connection, especially in kids  What Nicole does and her own personal history in this area  How we met and lots more. This is an amazing podcast, and I really hope you find it useful.  Check out Nicole at https://physicallyprimal.com.au/  

Have you heard of T2? No, not the Terminator - I'm talking about a little-known thyroid hormone that could be an important piece of the conversation around metabolism, energy and feeling better in midlife. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr Amie Hornaman, better known as the Thyroid Fixer, for a conversation about thyroid health, hormones and why so many people continue to struggle despite being told their blood test results are normal. We get into thyropause and what happens when thyroid problems collide with perimenopause, menopause and the hormonal changes that affect men as they get older.  In this episode, we cover: The forgotten thyroid hormone, T2: What it is and why it's attracting interest in discussions about metabolism and energy. Thyropause explained: The relationship between thyroid health, perimenopause, menopause and age-related hormonal changes. When your blood tests look normal: Why persistent symptoms may deserve further investigation and a conversation with your healthcare professional. Testosterone beyond sex drive: Why we discuss its potential role in health and wellbeing for both men and women. Hormone testing and replacement: What Amie says about personalised treatment, monitoring and finding a suitably qualified practitioner. Becoming your own health advocate: How to ask better questions and take a more active role in understanding your thyroid and hormones.

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?

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.

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. Visit www.drrobertwhitfield.com
