If you are feeling sluggish in the morning, foggy at the end of the day, easily triggered, or wired and tired, there is a good chance your hormones are crying for help.

Luckily, there are a few key foundational lifestyle habits that you can start right now that will help you balance your hormones and allow you to start operating from a place of optimal performance.
Achieving High-Performance Health with Angela Foster
Angela Foster is a Nutritionist, Health & Performance Coach, and host of the top-rated podcast, High-Performance Health. Angela made the switch from a partner in a huge law firm after a serious illness in 2014. She has harnessed the integrative health practices and biohacking she used to heal herself into a program to help other women rebuild their physical and mental health while living a vibrant, healthy, and limitless life.
Optimal Health = High Performance
If you want to function from a place of sustained high performance, the first way to do so is by building a solid foundation of optimal health. Angela believes it truly takes a journey to recovery of the mind, body, and spirit, but with a few simple lifestyle changes, these small steps can lead to big changes with time and patience.
These changes can include fueling your body with gut and liver-loving foods, supplementing with high-quality nutrients, getting out into nature and the sunlight, moving and training your body and mindset, and getting deep restorative sleep.
The SHIFT Protocol
Angela has created the SHIFT protocol to help you narrow in on what you need to focus on in order to live your life at your highest performance. Sleep, hormones, insights, fuel, and training your body and mind all play a key role in developing a core set of practices you can fall back on no matter what.
The more that you learn about your body, the better you can understand what it is telling you and curate a plan that is going to work best for you. At the end of the day, we are our hormones, and what is driving our symptoms is coming from the way we operate in the world. So it is up to us to create a lifestyle in which we can function at our highest and most optimum performance and health levels.
