Angela is joined by fitness expert Adam Richardson to discuss his unique approach to health and well-being, which contrasts with the common pursuit of optimisation. Adam shares his personal journey from a background in sports to becoming a personal trainer, emphasising the importance of movement and the idea of "mobility snacks"—small, manageable bursts of activity throughout the day, as well as how to lay the foundations for building a body that will carry you through life. KEY TAKEAWAYS Foundations of Mobility: Focus on hip and spine mobility for overall body health, as these areas are central to movement and stability. Realistic Health Goals: Adam emphasises aiming for “good enough” health rather than striving for perfection, which can feel overwhelming or impractical. Building Habits with Small Steps: Use habit-stacking techniques to add simple exercises, like neck circles or squats, into your daily routine. Embrace Movement Variety: Moving regularly throughout the day, rather than staying still for long periods, can prevent stiffness and promote joint health. The Role of Flexibility in Pain Relief: Adam shares insights on how improving flexibility gradually can alleviate tension and avoid injury.

Angela is joined again by Kate Muir, to discuss the complexities of midlife, focusing on hormones, brain health, and mental well-being. They discuss the misconceptions surrounding hormone therapy, emphasising the benefits of bioidentical hormones compared to synthetic options, and highlight the significant risks associated with obesity and alcohol consumption. Kate and Angela also touch on the importance of lifestyle changes, such as exercise and nutrition, in managing menopause symptoms. KEY TAKEAWAYS Hormone Therapy and Risks: Body-identical hormone therapy, especially estrogen, can lower breast cancer risks, unlike older synthetic options. Mental Health and Hormones: Hormonal shifts during menopause impact mental well-being, with a strong correlation between low estrogen and increased anxiety or depression. Bone and Muscle Health: Estrogen helps preserve bone density, essential to preventing osteoporosis. Women should also focus on strength training and protein intake.

Angela examinesthe pervasive issue of microplastics and nanoplastics, summarizing key insights from recent discussions by experts Rhonda Patrick and Andrew Hoopman. Angela highlights the various sources of microplastics in our environment, including plastic water bottles, food packaging, and household products, while emphasising the importance of minimising exposure. MAIN TAKEAWAYS Minimize Microplastic Exposure: While microplastics are everywhere, small changes can help reduce daily exposure. Primary Sources: Items like plastic bottles, packaging, and textiles are major sources; switch to safer alternatives when possible. Health Impacts: Microplastics carry chemicals like BPA that can disrupt hormones, affecting fertility, mood, and energy levels. Crossing Biological Barriers: Microplastics can penetrate barriers like the blood-brain barrier, raising concerns for organ and brain health. Simple Home Changes: Using glass or stainless steel for storage, limiting canned goods, and avoiding plastic bottles can reduce exposure. Support Detox: High-fiber foods and antioxidants help the body eliminate toxins associated with microplastics. Sweating Matters: Saunas, exercise, or hot baths help release toxins attached to microplastics. Use HEPA Filters: HEPA filters, natural fibers, and non-toxic household products reduce microplastic particles at home.

Angela is joined by Finnian Kelly, who shares his transformative journey from a life driven by hustle and external validation to one focused on personal mastery and intentional living. Finnian discusses the importance of grounding oneself in feelings rather than outcomes, emphasising that true fulfilment comes from within, as well as exploring the concept of belief loops and how our subconscious shapes our experiences, particularly in relationships and financial abundance. MAIN TAKEAWAYS Internal Alignment Over External Validation: True fulfillment and success come from within, and external achievements are merely reflections of your internal state. Focusing on internal alignment helps you find peace and satisfaction. Intentional Living Leads to Mastery: Living with intentionality, where feelings come first, can lead to deeper fulfillment and personal mastery. Aligning actions with desired feelings allows for a more purposeful and fulfilling life. Manifestation Requires Clarity and Belief: Manifesting desired outcomes is a disciplined practice involving clarity, belief, and intention. Trust in the unseen and act as if your desired reality is already happening to bring it into existence. Breath Work as a Powerful Tool: Breath work helps access the subconscious mind and regulate energy throughout the day. It can be used to clear negative emotions, find alignment, and connect to your true self. Reprogramming Negative Belief Loops: Negative patterns and behaviors are rooted in subconscious belief loops. By bringing awareness to these patterns and feeling through them, you can reprogram your mind and create new, positive outcomes.

ABOUT THE GUEST Tina Anderson’s journey into the world of health had a unique start and some unusual turns. She began her career as a trial lawyer who specialized in settling cases by bringing both sides together, a personal passion of hers. Once her second child arrived, Tina left that high-stress job behind so she could focus on her family. Luckily, she was still able to use her considerable legal skills to point her career in a new direction as the in-house counsel for a family pharmaceutical company. But what Tina saw there made her change direction again. Frustrated by the many abuses in the pharmaceutical industry, Tina turned toward the field of natural health, and found her life’s work. She channeled her energy into learning all she could about disease prevention and good health maintenance. That led her to discover the importance of gut health and how connected and crucial it is for overall health and wellness. To share her discovery with the world, Tina along with her husband created a unique supplement that contains the superior probiotic strains of renowned researcher Dr. Simon Cutting. By promoting gut health and probiotics, Tina shares her passion for wellness, helping others live their best physical and emotional lives.

Angela welcomes Dr. Peter Martone, an expert in sleep biomechanics, to discuss the critical impact of sleep positioning on overall health and well-being. Dr. Martone shares insights on how proper spinal alignment during sleep can enhance restorative sleep, improve heart rate variability (HRV), and regulate the parasympathetic nervous system, which is essential for reducing stress and promoting recovery. The conversation delves into the concept of the "triune of sleep," emphasising the importance of alignment, subconscious safety, and conscious relaxation techniques MAIN TAKEAWAYS The Sleep Triune: Alignment, Safety, and Subconscious Control: Dr Martone presents the Sleep Triune, explaining that true sleep quality starts with proper alignment. If the body is misaligned during sleep, it leads to subconscious pain, causing tossing and turning throughout the night. Corrective Sleep Positioning for Spinal Health: The ideal sleep position is lying on the back with arms at the side, legs straight, and a pillow under the neck (not the head). This position supports the natural cervical curve and prevents long-term structural problems. Sleep Avatars: Personalising Sleep Based on Subconscious Patterns: Dr Martone categorises sleepers into three avatars—Armadillo, Gorilla, and Ostrich—based on their subconscious sleep habits. Understanding your sleep type can help tailor strategies to improve both sleep quality and overall health. Optimising the Vagus Nerve for Better Health: Misalignment in the cervical spine can compress the vagus nerve, leading to a range of issues, from poor digestion and immune system dysfunction to anxiety and depression. Aligning the neck properly during sleep can enhance vagus nerve function and improve parasympathetic tone. Breathing Techniques to Calm the Mind: Focusing on long exhalations rather than inhalations helps calm the mind and body. Dr Martone recommends a simple technique: breathe in slowly, let the breath out even more slowly, and pause before inhaling again. TIMESTAMPS & KEY TOPICS 00:01 – Introduction to Dr Peter Martone and the role of sleep positioning in health. 01:41 – The Sleep Triune: Why proper alignment is crucial for sleep and health. 06:51 – Corrective sleeping position: Back sleep with pillow under the neck, not the head. 13:15 – Understanding the three sleep avatars: Armadillo, Gorilla, and Ostrich. 21:07 – Impact of vagus nerve compression on parasympathetic function. 33:49 – Strategies to calm the subconscious: Pressure points and breathing techniques. 37:42 – Importance of exhaling for falling asleep: A simple breathing exercise. 41:28 – Customising sleep strategies based on sleep avatars. 42:42 – How sleep posture impacts your ability to create the reality you want. 45:15 – Call to Action: Take the Animal Sleep Avatar Quiz at DoctorSleepRight.com.

Angela talks to Rachel Varga about the world of skincare, focusing on the topical application of GHK copper and the intricacies of micro-needling. They discuss the importance of product stability and formulation, emphasising that the effectiveness of ingredients like hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and retinol depends on their molecular size and stability. They also discuss emerging skincare trends, such as NAD and photo-biomodulation, while stressing the need for thorough research and caution when using at-home laser devices. KEY TAKEAWAYS Copper peptides are commonly used in skincare for pigmentation reduction and skin brightening, but the stability of the final product and the formulation's effectiveness are crucial for achieving desired results. Microneedling does not require deep penetration; superficial treatments can enhance product absorption without causing pain or bleeding. Different depths can be used based on individual skin concerns, such as acne scarring or skin laxity. Not all skincare products are suitable for transdermal application. It's essential to choose products specifically designed for use with dermal rolling to ensure safety and effectiveness. Many at-home laser and microneedling devices can be ineffective or even harmful if not used correctly. It's important to research the quality and reputation of these devices to avoid potential skin damage. BEST MOMENTS "You do not need to go that deep. You shouldn't be seeing any blood. It shouldn't be painful." "I always take new things with a grain of salt because I never want to waste anyone's time and money." "Lasers are the number one point of litigation and where things can go wrong in medical aesthetics." "I started to eat the right foods, follow a low inflammatory lifestyle, and now I'm actually at 90% skincare, dermal rolling, healthy living practices."

Angela talks to behavioural coach Emma Dunwoody about the fascinating world of human design, exploring its synthesis of ancient wisdoms such as Western astrology, the Kabbalah tree of life, the Chinese I Ching, and the Hindu chakra system. Emma explains how human design serves as an energetic blueprint that reveals our unique superpowers, challenges, and life lessons, highlighting the importance of understanding one's design to enhance manifestation and personal growth, as well as the impact of conditioning on our true selves. KEY TAKEAWAYS Human design is a synthesis of four ancient wisdoms—Western astrology, the Kabbalah tree of life, the Chinese I Ching, and the Hindu chakra system—providing an energetic blueprint that reveals how individuals are designed to operate in the world. There are five main types in human design: Manifestors (initiators), Generators (inspired doers), Manifesting Generators (multi-passionate hybrids), Projectors (guides), and Reflectors (mirrors of truth). Each type has a unique way of interacting with the world and making decisions. Conditioning can lead individuals to pursue goals and desires that are not truly aligned with their authentic selves. Human design helps individuals recognize their true desires and superpowers, allowing them to break free from societal expectations and conditioning. In human design, understanding one's strategy and authority is crucial. For example, Generators are encouraged to respond to external stimuli and trust their gut feelings, which helps them identify what truly lights them up and brings them energy. BEST MOMENTS "Human design is a synthesis of four ancient wisdoms which are Western astrology, the Kabbalah tree of life, the Chinese I Ching, and the Hindu chakra system." "The more I was becoming aligned to my design, the more I had authentic desires, authentic things I wanted to manifest." "What human design often shows us is that the thing we want to fix or change is actually something that is our superpower." "The most amazing thing could turn up in your life, but if you have no passion, no energy, no lit up for it, then it's just not correct for you."

Everyone wants to burn more fat and stay healthier, but what's the best way to go about it? In this short, sharp biohack episode, Angela flies solo to tell you about three ways to dynamically reduce your body fat and set yourself up for a leaner life in general. KEY TAKEAWAYS We can often confuse our minds and bodies with a variety of diets, and get caught up in copying the success of others. We need to remember that certain diets don't work for everyone. A great way to add protein into your first meal of the day is to add greek yoghurt with a small handful of almonds and raspberries or blueberries. Look for ways to bring more movement into your day, even if it's just getting up more regularly. At places such as work, set small alarms and make sure you're doing something to raise your heart rate. BEST MOMENTS 'All of us have that little bit we'd like to lose' 'Nice fibre, healthy fats and some proteins' 'If you employ these principles, you are going to burn more fat' VALUABLE RESOURCES Get a free snapshot of your health and personalised report at www.yourtotalhealthcheck.com Join The High Performance Health CommunityFree Fasting Guide - www.angelafosterperformance.com/fasting ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster is an award winning Nutritionist, Health & Performance Coach, Speaker and Host of the High Performance Health podcast.

Angela is joined by Siim Land, the author of "The Longevity Leap," to discuss the intricacies of aging and the various factors that influence longevity. Together, they look into the biological mechanisms behind aging, including mitochondrial dysfunction and chronic inflammation, while also exploring the concept of peak physical performance across different life stages. Siim also discusses the importance of exercise, particularly cardiovascular training and strength training, in enhancing VO2 max and overall health. KEY TAKEAWAYS Aging is a complex process influenced by various factors, including cellular dysfunction, mitochondrial health, and chronic inflammation. Key characteristics of aging include telomere shortening, cell senescence, and loss of autophagy. Different aspects of physical performance peak at various ages. While metabolic health is generally best in the teenage years, muscle strength peaks in the early 30s for men and early 40s for women. After the 30s, many individuals may start to experience a decline in health, often exacerbated by a sedentary lifestyle. VO2 max, a measure of maximum oxygen consumption during exercise, is crucial for longevity and overall health. It can be improved through both low-intensity and high-intensity cardiovascular exercises, with longer intervals (2-4 minutes) being particularly effective for enhancing VO2 max. Strength training is essential for maintaining muscle mass and strength as one ages. Focusing on compound lifts (like squats and deadlifts) and progressive overload is key to promoting muscle growth and functional fitness, which are linked to reduced mortality risk. BEST MOMENTS "The average person doesn't usually lift weights after their 20s... A lot of it is also just because of being sedentary and not actually lifting anything." "If you want to improve your overall cardiorespiratory fitness, then you need to address all of the heart rate zones as well to increase your fitness." "Chronic inflammation is pretty central to aging and all the whole chronic diseases as well." "I think there's no evidence that multi-day fasting has benefits or that it would be providing any unique benefits that you wouldn't get from just a regular healthy diet." - VALUABLE RESOURCES Get a free snapshot of your health and personalised report at www.yourtotalhealthcheck.com Join The High Performance Health CommunityFree Fasting Guide - www.angelafosterperformance.com/fasting The Longevity Leap Book Siim Land - https://www.siimland.co/ Get 10% off Magnesium Breakthrough with code ANGELA10 at www.bioptimizers.com/angela Use ANGELA15 to save 15% on Primeadine Spermidine at angelafoster.me/primeadine ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster is an award winning Nutritionist, Health & Performance Coach, Speaker and Host of the High Performance Health podcast.

Angela is joined by Peter Sage to discuss the transformative power of auto-suggestion and affirmations as discussed in Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich." They explore the importance of aligning one's heart and mind to effectively reprogram self-beliefs and self-image, and look at the critical role of environment and peer influence in shaping our thoughts and behaviours, highlighting how conformity can impact personal growth KEY TAKEAWAYS Auto-suggestion and affirmations are essential tools for self-development, but they are only effective when there is alignment between the heart and mind. Self-doubt can undermine the impact of affirmations. The people you surround yourself with significantly affect your self-image and beliefs. Being in a positive environment with like-minded individuals can enhance personal growth, while a negative environment can lead to conformity and stagnation. Humans are naturally programmed to conform to their environment. This means that if you are surrounded by negative influences, you are likely to adopt similar behaviours and mindsets, making it crucial to choose your environment wisely. The brain's reticular activating system filters information based on what is deemed important, such as personal relevance or safety. Understanding this system can help individuals focus on what they want to attract into their lives. BEST MOMENTS "Most people are too busy running around in the level that I call by me... you're swimming upstream against the current of life." "Affirmations don't really do anything if your heart and your mind aren't aligned. If you've got any kind of self-doubt, you're basically putting lipstick on a pig." "We don't get to vote on whether or not we get programmed. We only get to vote on how we want to be programmed." "If you're hanging around with people that have low self-esteem, I don't care how great you are walking into that environment. Over time, environment wins."

Get 50% off your Brain Map at Peak Brain with code ANGELA at www.peakbraininstitute.com In the first of a two-part conversation, Angela talks to Dr Andrew Hill, a brain mapping expert, to explore the intricacies of brain mapping and its implications for optimising mental performance and overall well-being. They discuss the science behind brain waves, the importance of sleep quality, and how various lifestyle factors, such as diet and exercise timing, can influence cognitive function. Andrew shares insights on the significance of deep sleep, the role of nutrition in brain health, and the effectiveness of sleep trackers, while debunking common myths about circadian rhythms and light exposure. KEY TAKEAWAYS Brain mapping involves measuring the brain's resting resources using EEG to analyse brainwave patterns. It helps identify tendencies related to attention, stress, sleep, and cognitive processing, rather than specific thoughts or feelings. Quality of sleep is crucial for cognitive function and overall health. Poor sleep can lead to issues like memory difficulties and cognitive decline, but improvements in sleep quality can lead to quick recovery in brain function. Eating patterns significantly influence circadian rhythms. Fasting before bed and timing meals appropriately can enhance sleep quality and metabolic health. Morning activity in a fasted state is also beneficial for regulating circadian rhythms. While sleep trackers can provide insights into sleep duration and patterns, they may not accurately measure the quality of deep sleep or REM sleep. Self-reporting on sleep quality can be just as effective as using these devices. BEST MOMENTS "Brain mapping is measuring the patterns, the resting resources in your brain... it’s mostly picking up how you tend to be. The resources in terms of their general way of being." "If you have a habit of eating before bed, you're going to chronically be under-rested because you're not getting into deep sleep." "I think humans are ultimately quite adaptable... people that think they're night owls are people that have dysregulated circadian rhythms." "The most sophisticated sleep trackers are no more accurate than self-report after a month of self-report."

Angela is joined by Dani Gordon to discuss the importance of brain flexibility and resilience. They explore various techniques to optimise brain function, including simple mind-body practices like breath work and meditation. Dani emphasises the significance of matching practices to an individual's current state and journey phase, as well as the benefits of SMR training for achieving calm focus and stress resilience. KEY TAKEAWAYS Flexibility in changing brain states is crucial for resilience and optimal performance. Simple mind-body practices, such as breathwork, can help reduce stress and improve brain function. SMR neurofeedback can promote calm focus and resilience to stress. Tailoring practices like cold therapy and sauna to individual needs and tolerance levels is essential for effectiveness. Ketamine therapy, combined with psychotherapy, can be an effective treatment for chronic pain and depression. BEST MOMENTS "So it's actually the ability to flexibly change states is so important." "SMR is actually similar to the flow state. So there's high-tech ways of hacking it, there's low-tech ways of hacking it." "It's finding what is the best way for you to tap into your flow state, really." "Ketamine psychotherapy is a treatment we can do now in the UK for treatment-resistant chronic pain and for treatment-resistant depression."

Angela talks to the remarkable Julie Gibson Clark, who’s achieved high rankings on the Rejuvenation Olympics leaderboard, focusing on reversing her biological age through lifestyle choices. Julie delves into her early experiences with nutrition and the impact it had on her performance as a young swimmer, as well as her transition to a healthier lifestyle in her thirties, including naturopathic interventions and the role of nutraceuticals in improving her well-being. Julie also emphasises the importance of intuition in guiding her health decisions and highlights the significance of a nutrient-rich diet, regular exercise routine, and daily meditation practice in maintaining her overall health and longevity. KEY TAKEAWAYS Prioritise self-care and establish a routine that includes meditation, exercise, and healthy eating habits to manage stress and promote overall well-being. Listen to your body and intuition, adjusting your lifestyle and routines as needed to maintain balance and health. Consistency is key, even when faced with challenges such as parenting or health issues, finding ways to adapt and stay committed to self-care practices. Incorporate mindfulness practices like meditation to improve sleep quality and reduce stress, even in the midst of busy or challenging times. Flexibility and grace are essential in balancing self-care with responsibilities, allowing for adjustments in routines to accommodate changing circumstances. BEST MOMENTS "I was lucky that I was a swimmer and then we had to do weights as part of swimming. When you start seeing the results, you're like, whoa, okay, I'm going to stick to this." "I love transcendental meditation. I thought I was trying to teach myself meditation for years." "It's similar, isn't it, to Vedic meditation, where you use a mantra. For anyone who's doubting this around meditation and thinking, do I have time?"

Angela is joined by Claire Bailey to talk about the importance of monitoring and reducing visceral fat for overall health, particularly as individuals age. They look into the risks associated with visceral fat, such as inflammation, insulin resistance, and the development of diabetes. Claire highlights the potential for reversing damage caused by visceral fat through weight loss and dietary changes, emphasising the benefits of targeting visceral fat for improved health outcomes KEY TAKEAWAYS Reduction in visceral fat is crucial, especially for women going through perimenopause, as it can lead to health risks like diabetes. Visceral fat wraps around organs, causing inflammation and insulin resistance, but can be reversed through weight loss and draining fat from the liver and pancreas. Monitoring visceral fat is essential as it can be an early warning sign of metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and even certain types of cancer. Getting into ketosis by burning fat as fuel instead of sugar, through a low-carb Mediterranean-style diet and rapid weight loss, can help reverse insulin resistance and flatten the glucose curve. Including pulses, whole grains, and fibre in the diet can support the microbiome and make the nutrition plan sustainable and accessible for long-term health benefits BEST MOMENTS "Visceral fat is the fat that as you put on weight and particularly if you tend to eat a sort of rather sugary starchy diet, it invades the gut and wraps around the organs and affects particularly the liver and the pancreas." "There's very interesting research by Professor Roy Taylor who shows very clearly using scans that if you can drain that fat from the liver, the pancreas and around the central part of your body, visceral fat, you can actually reverse that damage." "It alerts you because every time you sit down you feel like your skirt or your trousers or your jeans are a little bit tight and so it's a reminder I think." "I think it's very important because the longer your blood sugar and the higher, the longer it lasts for, it's during that time that it's doing the damage."

Angela engages in a frank and candid conversation with the great Andy Ramage, who shares his journey of giving up alcohol and the positive impact it had on his life. Andy discusses his personal experience of transitioning from a high-paced, alcohol-fuelled lifestyle to one focused on health, fitness, and personal growth. He highlights the importance of building healthy habits, setting goals, and staying committed to change, as well as emphasising the significance of overcoming ambivalence towards alcohol and creating a compelling future without it. KEY TAKEAWAYS Encouraging the adoption of healthy behaviours and habits, such as exercise and journaling, can create a positive loop of motivation and success. Recognising that setbacks and failures are a natural part of the journey towards change can help individuals bounce back stronger and continue on their path. By setting clear goals and values, individuals can train their brains to filter out information that aligns with their aspirations, leading to more focused and purposeful actions. Utilising alcohol-free alternatives in social situations can help individuals feel more comfortable and confident while socialising without alcohol. BEST MOMENTS "Life had plateaued a little bit. I'd got early onset heart disease I'd just discovered. My relationships were somewhat strained and it was a real awakening of Actually, what are we all doing? This is nuts." "I think it's ambivalence, that love-hate relationship in our brain with alcohol, which most people carry. So there's that moment of awareness of, actually, I think this is not serving me anymore." "When we can get so caught up in the steps, and that is a necessary part of it, like you say, you have to do the work, but you also have to switch your mind on to what's important."

He believes that 70% of people in the UK are underperforming in life because of their alcohol habits, without even realising it, from health and fitness, to business, work, to relationships.....everything. Former professional footballer and founder of two major stock brokerages, Andy Ramage recently celebrated his 10-year alcohol-free anniversary , something that he has charted along the way, inspiring thousands of others to do the same. He's been described as the 'Godfather' of the alcohol-free world after initially founding the One Year, No Beer campaign which has helped thousands and still runs today. Two years ago he also co-founded the Dryy app which already has more than 20,000 members. He's a senior trainer with the Professional Footballers' Association, where he shares his mindset, business and life wisdom with the country's top young footballers to help them achieve peak performance throughout their career, fulfill their potential and enjoy life. He also trains alcohol-free coaches through his treble accredited programme.

Angela presents a very special recording of her highly popular appearance at the Health Optimisation Summit, in which she discussed the importance of optimising health for high performance, focusing on three key aspects: syncing the biological rhythms, stepping into personal power, and mastering self-reflection. The episode explores the significance of respecting circadian biology, managing stress through recovery, and aligning actions with core values to achieve goals KEY TAKEAWAYS Struggling with burnout is common, especially among women in leadership positions. Optimising circadian rhythms, managing stress, and prioritising recovery are crucial for high performance and health. Heart rate variability can provide insights into stress levels and recovery needs. Setting clear goals, focusing on the process, and celebrating small wins are essential for achieving success. Living in alignment with values, finding flow, and practicing self-care are key to mastering the mirror and stepping into power. BEST MOMENTS "More than 10 million UK employees take time out because of burnout. Burnout costs UK businesses about 700 million a year." "I was a corporate lawyer for many years, pulling all-nighters, weekends of work. What was circadian rhythm? I didn't really respect that." "Within 48 hours of me making that decision, my white blood cell count started to rise. The magic was happening." "Heart rate variability lowers in the luteal phase and in perimenopause and generally with aging. So we may feel less resilient to stress."

Dr Libby Weaver Nutritional, biochemist and multiple best-selling author talks with Angela about the three pillars of biochemical, nutritional and emotional which underpin her work and why our beliefs and perception drive our behaviours. When we make choices about foods that don’t serve us it’s never about the food it’s the way we distance ourselves from the way we perceive things are when they are not how we want them to be and this fascinating episode explores how the combination of science, belief systems and nutrition is key in achieving effortless weight loss. KEY TAKEAWAYS There are consequences to shifts in our bio-chemistry There is no one way for everyone to eat because everyone is different. What everyone should do is eat a diet that is based on real wholefoods The focus needs to be on creating good energy and nourishment Detoxification is a process that is always going on inside of us but can be impacted by lifestyle choices Detoxification is a change process; the liver takes toxic substances and changes them so that they become harmless Eating a wide range of whole real foods supports the liver with detoxification Constantly elevated stress levels start to change the fuel the body perceives as being safe to use When the body is under stress it looks for a fast-burning fuel and it looks to glucose. The pattern of adrenalin production today has resulted in inflammatory compounds in the body High levels of adrenalin create inflammation and cortisol has to increase to deal with this Your body responds to the information you give it Our actions are driven by our beliefs and how we perceive ourselves We construct ourselves and live as if we need approval and in unpacking the beliefs you have created you need to be flexible about how others perceive you You have to do the inner work if you want to make changes to your beliefs It’s never about the food its always about the emotions Humans will do more to avoid pain than gain pleasure Ask yourself if what you are thinking is really true? BEST MOMENTS ‘Every single second there are billions of biochemical reactions going on inside of us that create how we feel, function and look’ ‘We are completely governed by how we feel’ ‘Life can be incredibly challenging and simultaneously mind-blowingly magnificent’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Get a free snapshot of your health and personalised report at www.yourtotalhealthcheck.com Join The High Performance Health CommunityUse ANGELA15 to save 15% on Primeadine Spermidine at angelafoster.me/primeadine ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster is an award winning Nutritionist, Health & Performance Coach, Speaker and Host of the High Performance Health podcast.

Angela is joined by Andrew Steele, to talk about the world of vitamin supplements and anti-aging compounds, exploring the scientific evidence behind their effectiveness. The discussion covers the antioxidant theory, the role of free radicals in aging, and the potential impact of supplements like vitamin C, vitamin E, NMN, and rapamycin on lifespan. KEY TAKEAWAYS Vitamin C and E, known for their antioxidant properties, have shown minimal or negative effects on lifespan in studies. While antioxidants were once thought to combat free radicals and slow aging, free radicals also serve important functions in the body, such as signalling and immune defence. Limited evidence for specific anti-aging compounds: Compounds like NMN and NR have shown mixed results in human and mouse trials, with no strong evidence supporting their effectiveness in aging. Studies in mice have demonstrated that rapamycin can extend lifespan, even when administered later in life, showing potential as an anti-aging intervention. BEST MOMENTS "Vitamin C, for example, doesn't have any effect on lifespan. Vitamin E can actually reduce your lifespan, albeit very slightly, based on the results coming from these studies." "We now know that it's not quite as simple as that antioxidant theory would imply." "Rapamycin extended their lifespan anyway. They lived about 10% longer than mice that weren't given the drug."

For this special REPLAY episode, Angela welcomes back Dr Neil Paulvin back to the show, to talk about the latest in longevity science and transformational therapies - including biohacks such as spermidine, how to reverse our biological age, NAD and peptides - as well as much, much more. KEY TAKEAWAYS Women need progesterone and oestrogen for muscle building and brain health, cognition, energy and more. Recent research has suggested that delaying menopause may work to serve health in these terms. The key to longevity and long term health lies in the "Core 4" - sleep, exercise, diet and stress management. Circadian rhythm in particular can markedly affect the immune system. For women in their forties, the decade in age itself is one of the busiest. Families are being raised if they've had children, career demands are at an all-time high. Energy demands are very high, and hormonal disruption is taking place. Mitochondrial health is crucial. SS31 was founded by two scientists and hangs on the inner membrane of the mitochondria, and has been found to be a very good antioxidant. It also has been found to have an anti-inflammatory component, and can help with tendonitis. BEST MOMENTS 'When we look at menopause, it brings with it potential adversities in terms of health' 'Sleep is when we recycle our hormones and increase the number of hormones we need' 'This has the most hallmark checks of any product in the world' 'I do believe in higher doses of both to get the real benefit of it' VALUABLE RESOURCES Get a free snapshot of your health and personalised report at www.yourtotalhealthcheck.com Join The High Performance Health CommunityFree Fasting Guide - www.angelafosterperformance.com/fastingPodcast Shownotes - www.angelafosterperformance.com/podcasts Use ANGELA15 to save 15% on Primeadine Spermidine at angelafoster.me/primeadine ABOUT THE GUEST Dr. Neil Paulvin is a multiple board-certified physician with certifications in Family Medicine, Osteopathic Manipulation, and Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine.

Angela and special guest, Simon Alexander Ong discuss the concept of navigating the challenging "messy middle" phase when pursuing goals. They emphasise the importance of embracing the journey, detaching from specific outcomes, and adapting to unforeseen obstacles. They also highlight the non-linear nature of progress, likening it to different seasons in life where varying challenges and growth opportunities arise KEY TAKEAWAYS Embrace the messy middle of any journey, as plans may deviate and unexpected obstacles may arise. Focus on falling in love with the journey and detach from the outcome to adapt methods and processes as needed. Recognise that there is no perfect straight line in any path and that progress may not always be linear. Understand that reality is subjective and perception determines our reality, allowing us to choose new thoughts to re-engineer our choices. Choose to view life through a positive lens, believing that the universe is conspiring in your favour, to have a more productive and positive response to unexpected events. BEST MOMENTS "I think it's a case of reminding ourselves of some basic facts that we tend to forget when we're on that journey. It's very messy in the middle." "No plan would have had that in their projections. And so I think when we consider the messy middle, first we got to realise that any plan we put together is always going to not go 100% to plan." "There is no perfect straight line in any path." "We all go through different seasons of our life, just like we go through different seasons of a year."

Angela welcomes back Dr Lara Briden, to talk about her new book, "Metabolism Repair for Women" and the impact of modern food supply and environmental toxins on metabolism, particularly in women. Dr Briden delves into the concept of insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction, highlighting the intergenerational effects and the role of epigenetics, as well as various indicators of insulin resistance, including symptoms like constant hunger and weight gain around the middle. KEY TAKEAWAYS Metabolic dysfunction, such as insulin resistance, is influenced by factors like modern food supply, environmental toxins, and genetic predispositions passed down through generations. Common symptoms of insulin resistance include feeling hungry all the time, gaining weight around the middle, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, fatty liver, skin tags, and blood sugar fluctuations. Dr Briden recommends key nutritional supplements for improving metabolic health, including magnesium, taurine, choline, inositol, and glycine, which can help with insulin sensitivity, nervous system balance, and overall health. The autonomic nervous system plays a crucial role in metabolic health, and strategies to support it include stress management techniques, outdoor light exposure, human connection, and regular ovulation for women. Berberine, similar to metformin, can improve insulin sensitivity and reduce metabolic endotoxemia, making it a potential supplement for addressing gut health and blood glucose control BEST MOMENTS "Something bad has happened in the environment and the food supply." "This problem is a combination of food supply and environmental toxins." "I think it's really important to recognise that what works for someone isn't necessarily going to work for somebody else."

Angela and special guest, Nate Palmer, explore topics such as carb backloading, post-exercise refueling, and the importance of weight training for women's health. They also share insights on how to improve Lumen scores and the impact of factors like hydration and meal timing on metabolic flexibility. KEY TAKEAWAYS Refueling post-exercise by consuming carbohydrates at the end of the day can optimise the body's natural storage and use of glycogen for energy rather than fat stores. Avoiding high-intensity interval-style workouts, especially for women in their 40s and beyond, can be beneficial for hormonal function, bone density, and overall health. Incorporating protein and carbs post-workout, especially after glycogen-depleting workouts, can aid in recovery and energy levels. Eating earlier in the night, staying hydrated, and avoiding late-night meals can help improve Lumen scores and shift the body into fat-burning mode BEST MOMENTS "You're optimising for your body's natural storage and you're using that glycogen for energy rather than for fat stores." "I think women associate it's workout equals bootcamp. I think we need to start breaking that stigma because I think for a lot of women, especially as we enter menopause and are getting a little bit older, it becomes very important to work on the weight training workouts." "Weight training is something where women in particular really need to focus. And I think a bit of plyo to help with bone density but not as much as people think." "I've always thought that you have like an hour, 60-minute window after your workout that if you don't drink a protein shake, all of your gains are going to shrivel up and die."

Angela and special guest, Dr Efrat LaMandre meet to discuss the importance of functional medicine in addressing health issues that conventional medicine may overlook. Dr LaMandre shares the personal journey that led her to question traditional medical practices and explore alternative approaches. They delves into topics such as the impact of inflammation on chronic conditions, the role of nutrition in health, and the complexities of mould toxicity. Dr. LaMandre emphasises the individualised nature of health and the need to consider factors like detoxification pathways and genetic predispositions when addressing health concerns. KEY TAKEAWAYS Mould toxicity can affect individuals differently, with symptoms ranging from respiratory issues to autoimmune conditions, making it challenging to diagnose. Understanding the body's detoxification process is crucial in addressing mould toxicity, as an overload of toxins can lead to storage in fat cells, impacting overall health. Genetic predispositions can play a role in how individuals react to mould exposure, with some individuals being more susceptible to certain health issues. Removing oneself from a mould-infested environment is the first step in addressing mould toxicity, followed by supporting the body's detoxification pathways with targeted supplements. The impact of mould toxicity on health can vary, with some individuals experiencing systemic issues while others may exhibit specific symptoms related to their genetic makeup and detoxification abilities. BEST MOMENTS “If you are someone who's listening right now and you're just not feeling well, I want you to know that you are just pre-disease." “Mould is a bigger deal than people are even willing to admit and conventional medicine washes its hands of it completely. And that's a huge mistake." "The gene loads the gun, the environment pulls the trigger."

Angela and special guest, Dr Izabella Wentz discuss the importance of removing gluten from the diet, particularly for individuals with leaky gut, celiac disease, Hashimoto's antibodies, and subclinical hypothyroidism. Dr Wentz shares her clinical experience and personal journey of eliminating gluten and dairy, leading to significant improvements in symptoms such as brain fog, fatigue, weight gain, and digestive issues. KEY TAKEAWAYS Removing gluten from the diet can have significant benefits for individuals with celiac disease, Hashimoto's antibodies, and subclinical hypothyroidism. Even without celiac disease, many individuals with Hashimoto's report feeling better off gluten, experiencing improvements in symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, weight gain, and digestive issues. Gluten sensitivity may lead to a case of mistaken identity where the body reacts to gluten proteins that cross-react with the thyroid gland, potentially exacerbating thyroid issues. Addressing underlying issues like a protozoal parasite (such as blastocystis hominis) or supporting the body post-pregnancy with specific supplements like carnitine and alfalfa can lead to improvements in food sensitivities and overall health. BEST MOMENTS "So, in some cases, there might be a case of mistaken identity if the body is reacting to the gluten molecule for whatever reason. It may also react to the thyroid gland." "I was like, wait a minute, And I was like, where did these ads come from like I'm not bloated. And my reflex went away and the carpal tunnel and the IBS and I was like, holy cow” "I know quite a lot of people that feel gluten sensitive and this would apply to me, they don't really have any gluten unless it's in sourdough bread."

Angela welcomes Dr. Emily Leeming, a research fellow at King's College London, to discuss the fascinating connection between the gut microbiome and brain health. Dr. Leeming shares insights on the impact of stress on the microbiome, the importance of fibre and diverse foods for gut health, and the role of omega-3 in mental well-being. They also look at topics such as the production of short-chain fatty acids by gut bacteria, the influence of diet on mental health conditions like depression and ADHD, and the potential benefits of post-biotics. KEY TAKEAWAYS Eating foods rich in fibre and polyphenols, such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, can support the gut microbiome and brain health. Consuming omega-3 fatty acids from sources like oily fish can help prevent cognitive decline and support mental health. Chronic stress can negatively affect the gut microbiome, leading to inflammation and other health issues. The impact of artificial sweeteners on the gut microbiome is still being researched, with varying results depending on the type and dose. The gut microbiome can produce a wide range of metabolites, emphasising the importance of consuming a diverse range of foods to support gut health. BEST MOMENTS "So the microbiome really means all the microbes that we're covered in. So we're covered in microbes inside and out." “That was one of the key things that I took away from the book when I was reading it." "I think with the research where we know it at the moment in terms of the menopause, with taking soy foods and phytoestrogens is that it's very much on an individual basis."

Angela presents a biohack episode alongside previous guest, Christa Biegler, delving into the intricate relationship between thyroid health and overall hormonal balance, particularly focusing on the ovarian-adrenal-thyroid axis (OAT axis). They focus on the critical role of adrenal function in hormone production and stress response, highlighting the impact of cortisol on various bodily functions. KEY TAKEAWAYS Understanding the ovarian adrenal thyroid axis (OAT axis) is crucial as it involves the production of sex hormones, aldosterone, DHEA, and cortisol, which play vital roles in blood pressure, blood sugar, and stress response. The adrenal glands are essential for hormone production, especially cortisol, the "darling stress hormone," which affects energy levels, blood flow, and overall organ function. The thyroid is closely linked to metabolism, with symptoms such as fatigue, hair loss, feeling cold, and mental health issues like depression and anxiety indicating potential thyroid dysfunction. Pregnancy and postpartum periods can increase the demand for thyroid nutrients, leading to more thyroid-related symptoms like sluggish motility, fungal overgrowth, and dry skin. Recognising and addressing thyroid symptoms is crucial, as they can impact various bodily systems and functions, highlighting the interconnected nature of hormonal health. BEST MOMENTS "If you don't have cortisol, you die. It's the most essential. And so that one is almost at the top of the triangle to me." "I always think your symptoms matter more than your lab results because there's nothing more frustrating to a woman." "The top thyroid symptoms, which I did not resonate with, I resonated with different ones." "When you're pregnant and postpartum, your thyroid needs, the nutrients for the thyroid go up dramatically, of course, right?"

Angela welcomes special guest, Karen Martel, to talk about hormones, menopause, and women's health. Karen and Angela delve into the misconceptions surrounding oestrogen and hormone replacement therapy, emphasising the importance of understanding the benefits of hormone replacement for women's overall health. They also touch on the significance of testosterone and DHEA in women's health, highlighting the potential impact on energy levels, mental health, and sexual well-being. KEY TAKEAWAYS Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can be highly beneficial for women going through perimenopause and menopause, providing relief from symptoms and reducing the risk of various health issues. It is important for women to understand that experiencing health issues, such as weight gain or migraines, does not necessarily indicate a lack of effort in maintaining health, as human bodies naturally age and may face challenges despite healthy habits. DHEA supplementation can support adrenal health and energy levels, but it is essential to be cautious with dosages to avoid potential side effects like acne and hair loss. Women should not feel pressured to address every health issue through natural remedies or emotional healing, as sometimes medication or hormone replacement therapy may be the most effective solution. It is crucial for individuals to recognise that not all health trends or treatments, such as psychedelics or specific supplements, are suitable for everyone, and personal health decisions should be made based on individual needs and circumstances. BEST MOMENTS "Women can find that sex drive is better and sex life is better the older they get." "I always tell women like, you'll have better orgasms, more satisfactory." "I did that for like 20 years. I was like, oh, my my freaking dream board isn't good enough."

Angela presents a biohack episode alongside previous guest, Nathalie Niddam, where they discuss various strategies for slowing down the aging process and promoting overall healthspan. They touch on the importance of stress management, quality sleep, nutrition, exercise, and addressing underlying chronic infections and toxins. KEY TAKEAWAYS Collagen can be beneficial for health, but it's important to maintain a balanced diet with various nutrients to avoid deficiencies. Bioregulator peptides, such as epitalon, have shown potential in slowing down the aging process by restoring form and function to tissues, glands, and organs. Fasting and caloric restriction, when done properly, can stimulate autophagy and have been studied for their effectiveness in slowing down aging. Addressing underlying chronic infections and toxins, such as heavy metals or tick-borne diseases, is crucial for maintaining optimal health and function. Bioregulator peptides like epitalon are available as nutritional supplements and have been shown to have positive effects on hormone balance, sleep, bone density, and immune function. BEST MOMENTS "I get collagen in all kinds of places... I am a fan of collagen, for sure." "We have to have a mechanism by which we're restoring function to our tissues, glands, and organs as they naturally wear out." "Epitalon in studies was shown to normalise melatonin production in elderly adults... It was supportive of a whole bunch of foundational aspects of health." "The bioregulator peptides are essentially epigenetic switches that flip on genes that signal a tissue, gland, or organ to produce proteins that help to restore form and function."

Angela welcomes Patrick Holford who’s discussing the importance of nourishing and protecting the brain for optimal health and performance. He delves into the intricate workings of the brain, emphasising the significance of omega-3 DHA, phospholipids, and B vitamins in maintaining brain health. He also highlights the role of homocysteine as a biomarker for various diseases, the impact of B vitamins on methylation, and why he believes the onset of Alzheimers may be something that we can do something about KEY TAKEAWAYS The brain is over 60% fat, with omega-3 DHA being a key component that attaches to phospholipids, essential for brain function and structure. Elevated homocysteine levels are linked to a range of conditions, including neurological disorders, heart disease, and cancer, making it a vital marker to monitor for overall health. B vitamins play a crucial role in the methylation process, which is necessary for incorporating omega-3 into the brain. Proper methylation is vital for cognitive function and overall brain health. Understanding how to change behaviours related to diet, lifestyle, and supplementation is crucial for preventing cognitive decline and reducing the risk of various diseases. BEST MOMENTS "Your brain currently has to be underperforming because you didn't know what it was that you need to optimally nourish your brain." "The recommendation for children is to eat fish twice a week. Less than 5% of children achieve even that." "I can't believe it's ignored. It's never on like a standard doctors or even like a pupil health check." "The single hardest bit is not finding out what is the problem, which we, of course, will do."
