You're Still Drinking Plastic. And No One's Fixing It. (Feat. Dr. Richard Blake) #614

LIMITED TIME ONLY: I'm delighted to offer you a discount for the Health Optimisation Summit in London.

I'll be back as MC this year — and you can use code TONY for 10% off your ticket.

It's the best health and biohacking event in Europe. See you there in September.

 

You switched from plastic to glass bottles to avoid microplastics. You've probably seen the story over the last couple of weeks — that didn't work.

We look at new data today showing glass bottles are leaching more plastic into your drink than plastic. 

Also, Louisiana just forced restaurants to tell you if they're cooking your food in seed oils. And the latest research suggests therapy might not work — at all.

Dr. Richard Blake is a podcast regular, but this is the first time he's been on as a doctor! He is a mental health and breathwork coach, the co-host of Runga Life podcast, and holds a PhD in psychology. Follow him on instagram.

 

THIS SHOW IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY:

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.
