The Death of Dieting 2026 (feat. Max Lowery) #663

Author: Tony Wrighton January 12, 2026 Duration: 32:30

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.

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.
