Monk Vs. Machine (Feat. Sam Yo) #690

Author: Tony Wrighton April 20, 2026 Duration: 28:28
When a Peloton monk says the world needs to slow down - you listen. 

My guest today is Sam Yo... Peloton instructor, West End actor, and ordained monk.

He's been on stage at the London Palladium, played villain roles in The King and I, taught thousands of people on bikes they never leave the house on, and somewhere in between all of that, became a monk.

His debut book, The Monk's Mindset: Finding Stillness in a World That Won't Stop Moving, is out May 19th and July 2nd UK. Pre-order it here.

Tony Wrighton has spent years navigating the unconventional edges of wellness, and in Biohacking News by Zestology, he turns that curiosity into a weekly conversation. As a journalist and author, Tony doesn't just report the headlines; he digs into the practical science and the wilder trends shaping how we think about our bodies. This podcast serves as a direct line to the people driving the biohacking movement. You'll hear Tony in candid discussions with a roster of leading voices like Dave Asprey on bulletproof living, Dr. David Sinclair on longevity, Ben Greenfield on peak performance, and Esther Perel on the human connection behind the tech. Each episode feels like a behind-the-scenes look, whether it's a review of a new wearable device, a breakdown of a controversial nutritional approach from someone like Paul Saladino, or fitness insights from JJ Virgin and Joe Wicks. It’s a mix of grounded advice and explorations of what's next, all filtered through Tony's experienced perspective and his bulging contacts book. For anyone intrigued by optimizing health but wary of the hype, this is a essential guide to what works, what doesn't, and what's just plain fascinating in the world of human enhancement.
