The Hypnosis Effect (feat. Glenn Harrold) #665

The Hypnosis Effect (feat. Glenn Harrold) #665

Author: Tony Wrighton January 19, 2026 Duration: 46:50

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.

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.
