High Performance Health

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."

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?

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."

Angela welcomes Nichola Conlon to talk about the critical molecule NAD (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) and its importance for the human body. Nichola provides a comprehensive overview of NAD, highlighting its crucial roles in energy production within cells and as a signaling molecule for cellular maintenance and repair. Angela and Nichola also look into how NAD levels decline with age, impacting energy levels and cellular health, ultimately contributing to the aging process KEY TAKEAWAYS NAD, or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, is a crucial molecule for energy production in cells and acts as a signaling molecule for cellular maintenance and repair. NAD levels decline with age, starting from birth, and this decline is linked to reduced energy levels and impaired cellular maintenance and repair, contributing to the aging process. Intermittent fasting, calorie restriction, and exercise are ways to positively impact NAD levels by creating an energy stress that activates the AMPK pathway, leading to increased NAD production. High-intensity interval training and fasting in a fasted state can further upregulate the AMPK pathway, enhancing the body's ability to produce NAD. The salvage pathway in cells is responsible for recycling NAD breakdown products, primarily nicotinamide, back into usable NAD. However, this pathway becomes dysregulated with age due to a decline in the enzyme NAMPT, leading to decreased NAD levels in older cells. BEST MOMENTS "NAD, I sometimes refer to it as probably the most important molecule that you've never heard of." "From research that's been done, it seems like it declines from birth. So by the time you're age 20, you've kind of got half the amounts of NAD that you had when you were born." "I think what's known is that any level of fasting really is going to start to actually increase your NAD levels." "So all the beneficial effects of exercise, fasting, et cetera, are happening because they're increasing the ability of our cells to use this salvage pathway."

Angela welcomes Kate Muir, to discuss her bestselling book, "Everything You Need to Know About the Pill, But We're Too Afraid to Ask." Kate shares her personal journey and research findings related to the effects of hormonal contraception, particularly focusing on the pill. She delves into the impact of different types of pills on mental health, libido, breast cancer risk, and overall well-being. KEY TAKEAWAYS The pill can have significant effects on mental health, libido, and overall well-being, with synthetic hormones impacting serotonin levels and mood. Different types of pills contain varying progestins and oestrogens, leading to different side effects and risks, such as increased breast cancer risk. Options like the copper coil and natural cycles provide non-hormonal alternatives, with potential benefits for mood and overall health. Body-identical pills with natural oestrogen and safer progestins show promise in reducing side effects and improving mood. Trials for male contraception, such as a shoulder gel, show potential with minimal side effects, offering a new perspective on shared contraceptive responsibility. BEST MOMENTS "I think the pill had sort of ground her down. And when she came off it, she was great. You know, there are other issues in people's lives, but that was clearly a cause of her low mood and depression, real flat mood." “Despite me having been diagnosed with three bouts of postnatal depression and then major depressive disorder for a number of years with possible bipolar, their first instinct was, well, we just need to get you back on the pill." “Doctors are really not trained in hormones at all" “We did a big poll for Channel 4. And I think we found about something like, 7 to 14% were getting it for sort of acne or skin. And lots and lots of people were going on it for heavy periods or irregular periods."

Angela talks to special guest Danielle Hamilton, about the critical importance of blood glucose regulation for overall health and well-being. They discuss how blood sugar levels impact every cell, organ, and bodily process, emphasising the far-reaching effects of blood sugar dysregulation and insulin resistance. KEY TAKEAWAYS Blood glucose levels have a significant impact on our overall health, affecting every cell, organ, and process in the body. Insulin resistance and blood sugar dysregulation can lead to various health issues, even before blood sugar levels change. Many individuals may have metabolic dysfunction and insulin resistance without being diagnosed with prediabetes or diabetes. Doctors may not always catch early signs of blood sugar issues, focusing more on treating symptoms rather than addressing root causes. Circadian rhythm and stress play a crucial role in blood glucose levels, emphasizing the importance of timing for optimal health and performance BEST MOMENTS "Our blood sugar affects how we feel at every second of every day, and it has huge impacts on our long-term health." "I think it's the same here. So with somebody, let's say they're falling, because most people listening to this podcast are looking after their health..." "Our circadian rhythm is so linked to our stress because our circadian rhythm, I like to think about it like the control tower at an airport."

Angela talks to Maddy Dychtwald, who shares insights from her book "Ageless Aging" focusing on women's health and longevity. They discuss the importance of hormone replacement therapy for brain health, the impact of an anti-inflammatory diet on metabolic health, and the significance of exercise for maintaining muscle mass and balance. Maddy also delves into skincare and hair health tips, emphasising the benefits of vitamin C and Retin-A products. KEY TAKEAWAYS Eating an anti-inflammatory diet, staying hydrated, and avoiding added sugars and alcohol can improve skin and overall health. Incorporating strength training exercises and balance tests like the Flamingo Test can help prevent falls and maintain physical health as one ages. Focus on getting quality sleep rather than just quantity, ensuring you wake up feeling refreshed. Practices like sun exposure in the morning can aid in regulating circadian rhythms. Consider bio-identical hormone replacement therapy, especially for women experiencing hormonal imbalances during menopause, to support brain health and overall well-being. CoQ10 can be beneficial for muscle strength and counteracting side effects of certain medications like statins, providing a natural alternative to address health concerns. BEST MOMENTS "I've been on this beat of longevity and aging and retirement for, Gosh, close to 40 years. So you do the math, you can figure it out. I'm 74 years old." "I'm looking at you and I actually can't believe that you just said you're 74 years old because you look so young." "I think knowledge is power. Having that information is really powerful." "I find that if I don't drink a lot of water one day or if I've had a little wine, I see it in my skin."

Angela is joined by Mollie Eastman to talk about the importance of aligning our circadian rhythms with our environment and the impact it has on our health. They discuss the seasonal and geographical factors that influence our sleep patterns, referencing health geography and conditions like MS, and explore the concept of "sleep capital" and "social capital" as a way to balance prioritising sleep while also maintaining social connections KEY TAKEAWAYS Our bodies are not designed to follow the same circadian alignment throughout the year. Factors like geographical location and seasonal changes play a significant role in determining our optimal sleep patterns. Where we choose to reside can have a direct impact on our health and well-being. For example, rates of certain diseases like MS are higher in northern latitude locations compared to closer to the equator locations, possibly due to reduced sunlight exposure and vitamin D connection. Balancing social interactions and prioritising sleep is crucial. The concept of managing "sleep capital" most of the time but occasionally investing in "social capital" highlights the importance of maintaining a healthy social life while still prioritizing sleep. Designing an environment conducive to good sleep is essential. This includes ensuring a dark bedroom, minimising exposure to blue light, and creating a relaxing pre-sleep routine to promote the production of melatonin. BEST MOMENTS "Our bodies are not designed like that. There are a seasonal nature, but also where we fall geographically on the globe really, really matters." “An anthropologist anthropologist studied the Hudson tribe and would find, you know, kind of how sleep had been managed in hunter-gatherer tribes." "So, that might be the time where it's the wedding of the close friend, and you're going to be staying up much later, or friends are going to be coming over and staying with you, so your sleep is going to be a little bit funky during that period."

Angela interviews Dr. Rahul Jandial about the fascinating topic of dreaming from a scientific perspective. Dr. Jandial, a brain surgeon and neuroscientist, delves into the intricate workings of the brain during sleep and dreaming, exploring the connection between waking life experiences and dream content, and highlighting the importance of understanding the brain's transition between executive and imagination networks. KEY TAKEAWAYS The brain needs to dream to stay fine-tuned, imaginative, and maximally adaptive. It is not just a glitch but a necessary process for the brain to function at its best. The transitional states of sleep exit and sleep entry are fascinating liminal zones where the brain toggles between executive network function and imaginative network function. These states can be rich with creative ideas and solutions. Techniques for inducing lucid dreaming, such as waking up an hour before the usual time and then trying to fall back asleep while maintaining awareness, can increase the chances of experiencing lucid dreams. Engaging in divergent thinking, which involves creative and imaginative ideation, can lead to fresh ideas and solutions. This type of thinking is essential for creativity and problem-solving. BEST MOMENTS "I believe at some fundamental level that we sleep because we must dream. And that that's the essential feature of the human brain that's taking place during a period we call sleep."

In honour of the passing of Dr Michael Mosley, Angela invites you to take a step back in time, to the episode upon which she was joined by Dr Mosley, to discuss his new book, the methods he used to boost brain and BDNF levels, how to remain at optimal health at all times, and and which predictors matter in terms of health. KEY TAKEAWAYS People's metabolisms are struggling today far more than ever before, largely due to the increase in junk food and processed foods we are seeing on the marketplace. Squats can be used as a helpful way to boost your brain and BDNF levels, because of the increase in blood flow caused by this. The three things you really need to crack in order to remain at optimal health are healthy weight, mindfulness, and exercise. Exercise is truly essential as it helps to optimise muscle mass. The two greatest predictors of life expectancy are your insulin sensitivity, and the amount of oxygen you can burn when you're really pushing yourself during exercises that test your maximum limits. BEST MOMENTS 'Unfortunately these kinds of foods are quite alien to us' 'After the age of 30, you will lose up to 10% of muscle mass every decade' 'He's demonstrated cognitive improvement in people who do these particular exercises' 'Make the most of the cold winter!'

Angela talks to Dr. Cate Shanahan about her book "Dark Calories" and the misconceptions surrounding cholesterol, heart health, and the impact of vegetable oils on the body. Dr. Shanahan emphasises the role of oxidative stress as the root cause of various health issues and explains how vegetable oils contribute to this stress. She delves into the importance of understanding the chemistry behind nutrition, debunking myths about protein consumption, animal products, and the inflammatory effects of dairy KEY TAKEAWAYS Oxidative stress is the root cause of many health issues, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and dementia. It is essential to focus on reducing oxidative stress by avoiding vegetable oils and consuming foods rich in antioxidants. Dr. Shanahan highlights the harmful effects of vegetable oils, particularly seed oils like corn, canola, cottonseed, soy, sunflower, safflower, rice bran, and grapeseed oil. These oils are highly processed, lack nutrition, and can deteriorate into toxins, promoting oxidative stress in the body. It’s vital to understand the link between cholesterol phobia and the rise of vegetable oils in the food supply. Animal protein does not cause oxidative stress and is essential for building blocks like amino acids needed for various bodily functions. A balanced intake of animal protein is beneficial and does not inherently lead to inflammation or oxidative stress. BEST MOMENTS "The root cause is this state of chemical imbalance called oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is the thing that kills us all." "People get really, really confused that they don't seem to have a higher protein diet, that it was kind of occasional and this idea that ancestrally we wouldn't have had access and we would have been foraging and occasionally we would have killed an animal." "The key mistake in what has been envisioned so far is they've decided that LDL particles are just bad and that LDL should not be in our bloodstream." “Protein does not cause oxidative stress. Now, an imbalance might, like if we're eating so much protein that we don't get other nutrients."

She is standing up to the conflicted health authorities whose unwholesome nutrition advice is making the world sick. Her mission to end chronic disease started in 2002, when she discovered that we’ve all been misled about saturated fat and cholesterol, and began building on the discoveries of experts whose work is being ignored or actively silenced. Her bestselling books have informed a generation of health influencers about the damaging effects of a collection of 8 common seed oils (The Hateful 8) that are the single worst ingredient in the food supply, and the benefits of bone broth, organ meats, fermented foods, and other ancestral health principles. Besides regularly appearing in and writing for national media, she has also worked as director for the Los Angeles Lakers PRO Nutrition program, and currently runs a telehealth practice.

Angela is joined by Roxanne Saffaie to discuss the concept of self-mastery and the journey towards understanding and developing a deep, loving relationship with one's authentic self. The conversation highlights the importance of investing time and energy in cultivating this relationship, emphasising the need to break free from societal programming and connect with one's internal voice KEY TAKEAWAYS Self-mastery is a lifelong journey focused on knowing and developing a loving relationship with one's authentic self. Developing a relationship with oneself is crucial to understanding and overcoming external programming and societal influences. Journaling is a powerful tool for self-reflection and self-discovery, serving as a portal to one's highest self. Operating from a place of self-compassion and curiosity rather than self-judgment is essential for personal growth and empowerment. BEST MOMENTS "Detoxification is so important now more than ever with the number of toxins we are exposed to daily in our food, water, personal care products and environment." "I think it's very arrogant for any one of us to think that we just came out and we're supposed to know everything, how to do everything right, how to be perfect, how to do, but for some reason, especially women, there is this hardcore judgment about how we're supposed to just be hitting the mark every single time." "All we've ever been taught to do is go out there out there out meaning outside of us every answer that you need to create your quote unquote great successful life. You gotta go out there to get it.

Angela is joined by Mike Zeller, who shares his powerful journey of combining biohacking, neurohacking, and peak performance coaching. Mike talks frankly about his personal experiences with trauma, peak performance psychology, and the transformative impact of psychedelics and NAD therapy on his wife's mental health. He discusses the importance of clearing out limiting beliefs and trauma to pave the way for manifesting desired outcomes KEY TAKEAWAYS Feeling the emotions associated with the desired outcome is crucial for effective manifestation. Connecting with the heart and embodying the feeling of the wish fulfilled enhances the manifestation process. Aligning actions with the feelings associated with the desired outcome creates internal momentum and reinforces the manifestation process. Visualisation, coupled with action, such as imagining oneself in the desired scenario or engaging in activities related to the goal, helps reinforce the manifestation process. Integrating new beliefs and feelings into daily routines, such as through affirmations and visualisation, helps reinforce the manifestation process and align actions with desired outcomes. BEST MOMENTS "I am becoming, or I am growing, something along those lines is going to give you that special caveat word." "I struggled feeling things. I was a dude, I was like, I was a walking brain. My wife was a walking heart, I was a walking brain." "There are some people who feel it harder to connect."

Angela talks to Steven Kotler about Flow, the optimal state of consciousness where individuals feel and perform their best. They delve into the scientific definition of flow, highlighting its characteristics such as complete concentration, the merging of action and awareness, and the vanishing of self. KEY TAKEAWAYS Flow is defined as an optimal state of consciousness where individuals feel and perform their best. Flow is characterised by complete concentration, the merger of action and awareness, the vanishing of self, time distortion, a sense of control, and an autotelic experience. Flow leads to significant increases in productivity, creativity, empathy, wisdom, physical performance, happiness, well-being, and overall life satisfaction. The six core characteristics of flow include complete concentration, the merger of action and awareness, the vanishing of self, time distortion, a sense of control, and an autotelic experience. BEST MOMENTS "Flow, scientifically, if we're defining it, technically, it's an optimal state of consciousness where we feel our best and we perform our best." "On average, it was 500% more productive. That's a giant, extraordinary thing." "When I'm at my best, I'm in this altered state of consciousness where every decision, every action flows seamlessly, perfectly, effortlessly from the last." "Time is a calculation performed all over the prefrontal cortex. It's a network, basically. And as that network collapses, like any network, we lose our ability to separate past from present and future."

Angela is joined by nutritional expert, Eric Edmeades, who discusses his work with the WildFit nutrition program and the impact it has had on people's lives. Eric explains his decision to write the book "Post-Diabetic" and the importance of making nutrition programs accessible. He delves into the influence of the food industry on health and the need for consumer behaviour change, as well as metabolic flexibility, seasonal eating, and the lifestyle of the Hadza people. KEY TAKEAWAYS The WildFit program has shown significant results in terms of weight loss, diabetes reversal, and overall health improvement for participants. Understanding the optimal human diet based on nutritional anthropology is crucial for achieving long-term health and well-being. The WildFit program incorporates behavioural change dynamics to help individuals develop new habits and transform their relationship with food. seasonal eating based on ancestral metabolic modes can lead to better metabolic flexibility and overall health outcomes. While exercise is important, prioritising proper nutrition over exercise is key for achieving optimal health and body composition. BEST MOMENTS "I made the decision to go a different route, and that was to do multimedia, so that people could go through a long-term multimedia journey with me." “You geared this at type one diabetics and reducing the amount of insulin." "The issue is not whether or not sugar is bad. I would argue that there is bad sugar. No question about that, I would say." "It's very interesting when you dial it back, I see the same as you, actually you see more fat loss and actually better body composition."

Angela talks to John R Miles about the theme of rising above self-doubt and reinventing oneself in a rapidly changing world. They emphasise the importance of authentic living and breaking away from societal norms to author one's own fulfilling life story, highlighting the staggering statistics on unfulfilled individuals globally and the impending automation of jobs, urging listeners to awaken to the evolving landscape. KEY TAKEAWAYS Embrace the quest for authentic living and rebel against societal norms to define your own standards for a fulfilling life. With automation on the rise, individuals should focus on their uniqueness and consider paths like entrepreneurship or freelancing to navigate the changing job landscape. The current education system may not adequately prepare the next generation for the evolving world, emphasizing the importance of developing anti-fragility and passion-driven mindsets. Novak Djokovic's relentless pursuit of personal mastery and mental toughness serves as a prime example of shaping one's life to mirror inner values and aspirations. BEST MOMENTS "It's about a rebellion against the societal norms that seem to dictate our lives. It's a refusal to settle for a life that's defined by someone else's standards instead of defining them for yourself." "I think more and more people are going to end up having to become maybe a solo entrepreneur, a solopreneur where instead of working for these corporations or what have you, you're going to become a freelancer." "I think for many people, what I notice is the aspect you talk about there in terms of where we might need to reinvent ourselves, but also as a mother of teenage children, I feel like the education system isn't guiding them particularly well."

In the second part of a very special two-part conversation, Angela talks once more to the remarkable Dr Sara Gottfried, an expert in hormones and autoimmunity, about the alarming rise in autoimmune conditions, particularly among women and adolescents. Dr. Sara delves into the connection between trauma, stress, and the development of autoimmune diseases, shedding light on the impact of unresolved stress responses on the body's immune, neurological, and endocrine systems. The conversation also explores the role of self-love, psychedelics like MDMA and psilocybin, and ketamine in treating mental health issues and trauma-related conditions KEY TAKEAWAYS The prevalence of autoimmunity is high, with one in three individuals having an autoimmune condition Rates of autoimmunity are escalating, especially in men and adolescents, with a significant number showing antibodies against their own cells. While women are traditionally more vulnerable to autoimmune diseases, recent observations suggest an increase in anti-nuclear antibodies in men, indicating a shift in susceptibility. Trauma, especially in women who experience more trauma than men, is a significant trigger for autoimmunity, with unresolved stress responses contributing to dysregulation. Psychedelic-assisted therapy, including substances like MDMA and psilocybin, shows promise in addressing trauma, depression, and autoimmune conditions, offering a new approach to mental health treatment. BEST MOMENTS "We think that there's differences in terms of gender, those are sex-based differences, but there's also gender-based differences." "It's a more generally feminine approach to a stress response. Now, if you take those who are born male who do more fight flight, they are using big muscle groups to fight, or to run, and there's a way that that mobilizes the stress response and helps them recover fast." "It's really fundamental. Yeah, you know, if you do an adverse childhood experiences score, if you do the ACE questionnaire, there's a lot of things that aren't asked in that questionnaire” "And MDMA opens you up to more kind of like love experiences, experiences of love, right? And joy."

Through her practise, Dr Gottfried treats people with a host of conditions, and educates about hormone balance, metabolic health and the interaction between food and your metabolism. From the Harvard and MIT-educated physician, and New York Times bestselling author of The Hormone Cure, The Hormone Reset Diet and Younger, comes a brand new book on the impact of trauma on your body and immune system – and what you can do to heal. Up to 80 per cent of patients with autoimmune disease experienced significant emotional distress before getting sick. In other words, trauma and autoimmune disease are intimately linked, and Dr Gottfried shows us how. A leading voice in the autoimmune and women’s health space, Dr Gottfried’s insights into the gut, women’s health and hormones, and trauma as it pertains to autoimmune illness is essential reading Conventional medicine falls short when it comes to both diagnosing and treating autoimmune disease. Many people suffer from mysterious symptoms like severe fatigue, brain fog, aches and pains, feelings of tingling and numbness, stubborn weight gain, abdominal pain, digestive problems, hair loss, insomnia, and even anxiety, and don't realize their immune system is at the root of their symptoms. In her precision medicine practice, Dr Gottfried noticed a seemingly unusual pattern: many of her patients who suffer from autoimmune disease and symptoms have a history of trauma. Dr Gottfried has created a powerful programme designed to break the vicious cycle of autoimmune disease, reset your immune system and restore your health, with advice on diet, sleep, supplements, breathwork, microbiome restoration, somatic therapy and much more.

Angela talks to Milli Raizada, an experienced NHS GP who has personally navigated hormonal challenges, about the key aspects that women in their 40s and early 50s should focus on to optimise their health. Dr. Raizada discusses the fluctuations in hormones during the perimenopause phase, emphasising the impact on various bodily functions such as brain health, muscle health, and bone health. She also highlights the importance of understanding hormone levels, particularly oestrogen, and its influence on neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin KEY TAKEAWAYS Understanding the hormonal changes during perimenopause is crucial for women in their 40s and early 50s. Declining oestrogen levels can lead to various symptoms like weight gain, brain fog, and mood changes due to its influence on neurotransmitters. Nutrition plays a vital role in managing hormonal health, with a focus on unprocessed whole foods, probiotics, and prebiotics for gut health. Tailoring exercise routines to include strength training and moderate-intensity activities can help maintain muscle mass and overall health during perimenopause. Empowering individuals with knowledge about their bodies and personalized lifestyle plans can help manage hormonal issues effectively without relying solely on medication. BEST MOMENTS "Eating foods that are naturally lower in carbohydrates... eating unprocessed natural carbohydrates, fruits and vegetables and everything in moderation is so important."

Angela is joined by neuroscience expert, Dr. Tommy Wood, who shares insights on building a better brain and optimising cognitive function across the lifespan. He discusses the importance of exercise on brain health, the impact of different types of exercise on cognitive function, and the benefits of separating tasks to maximise productivity. They also look into the concept of cognitive gears, the effects of multitasking, and the significance of incorporating low cognitive gear activities to unwind before bedtime. KEY TAKEAWAYS We need to emphasise the importance of structuring the workday to optimise productivity by chunking tasks based on cognitive gears and personal energy rhythms. Multitasking, especially when it involves complex tasks, can be detrimental to cognitive performance and learning. Focusing on one task at a time is more effective for deep work and skill acquisition. Engaging in low cognitive gear activities, such as repetitive tasks or household chores, can provide a cognitive break and recharge the brain. Prioritising deep work in the morning when energy levels are high and saving less demanding tasks for later in the day can enhance overall productivity. Maintaining a balance between focused work, breaks, and low cognitive gear activities throughout the day can help optimise cognitive function and prevent burnout. BEST MOMENTS "I think there's a few different ways to think about this” “One measure that I really like is the cognitive gears, which is something that a former colleague of mine, James Hewitt, has kind of popularised. He puts us into three main brain states or cognitive gears and actually relates them to exercise." "I can imagine at that point, right, you're unplugging, you're going to spend time with your partner. If you then go back to work, that's going to create a whole new buzz of energy." "The kind of multitasking that humans are very good at is parallel processing multiple complex related skills at the same time."

Angela is joined for this bitesize edition by Paul Sheppard, to discuss how conditioning from past experiences can limit individuals from achieving success and how some may self-sabotage when they reach a certain level of achievement. Paul and Angela touch on the idea that conditioning often occurs in early childhood but can also manifest later in life, impacting relationships and overall well-being KEY TAKEAWAYS Many people are held back by conditioning from their past that limits their beliefs about what they can achieve or deserve. Some individuals reach a certain level of success and then unconsciously sabotage themselves, possibly due to deep-rooted conditioning. Conditioning can occur during childhood, particularly before the age of seven, but can also develop later in life through experiences like relationships with narcissists. Coaching is favoured for addressing anxiety as it focuses on proactive steps to move forward rather than solely delving into past issues BEST MOMENTS "You know, it's usually conditioning from their past that says you can't achieve something. You're not allowed to have something." "I think it's important to have a coach or a therapist to explore not only where these things have come from, which is nice." "When I had anxiety, there was no help or no advice that would have helped me with my anxiety."

In the first part of a very special two-part conversation, Angela talks to the remarkable Dr Sara Gottfried, about a wide-ranging array of aspects impacting women's health, including hormones, perimenopause, and postpartum depression. Dr. Sara highlights the impact of hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause, emphasising the importance of understanding triggers and dysregulation. She also delves into the effects of stress, immune system changes, and metabolic shifts during this transition. The conversation touches on topics like mitochondrial function, hormone therapy, PCOS, and postpartum depression, exploring both biological and environmental factors that contribute to women's health challenges. KEY TAKEAWAYS Hormonal fluctuations during perimenopause and postpartum can lead to various symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, and depression. Understanding these changes and seeking support can help manage these transitions effectively. Monitoring mitochondrial function, especially in women over 40, can help address issues like fatigue and energy depletion. Strategies like interval training and red light therapy can help stimulate mitochondria and improve energy levels. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a complex condition with various phenotypes and metabolic implications. Understanding individual symptoms and addressing them through lifestyle changes, exercise, and proper nutrition can help manage PCOS effectively. Postpartum depression can be influenced by hormonal changes, lack of support, sleep deprivation, and psychological stress. Identifying risk factors like genetic predispositions, inflammation, and nutrient deficiencies can help in early intervention and management. BEST MOMENTS "I think the pandemic definitely changed our biology, mostly, not for the better." "I feel like perimenopause and menopause needs to be rebranded. We need to be a lot more honest about some of these changes that are happening." "I think it's really important to understand that postpartum thyroiditis, development of autoimmunity is really common." "I did have quite a dominant father and I was a real daddy's girl but I also wonder whether familial position plays a part in this."

Through her practise, Dr Gottfried treats people with a host of conditions, and educates about hormone balance, metabolic health and the interaction between food and your metabolism. From the Harvard and MIT-educated physician, and New York Times bestselling author of The Hormone Cure, The Hormone Reset Diet and Younger, comes a brand new book on the impact of trauma on your body and immune system – and what you can do to heal. Up to 80 per cent of patients with autoimmune disease experienced significant emotional distress before getting sick. In other words, trauma and autoimmune disease are intimately linked, and Dr Gottfried shows us how. A leading voice in the autoimmune and women’s health space, Dr Gottfried’s insights into the gut, women’s health and hormones, and trauma as it pertains to autoimmune illness is essential reading Conventional medicine falls short when it comes to both diagnosing and treating autoimmune disease. Many people suffer from mysterious symptoms like severe fatigue, brain fog, aches and pains, feelings of tingling and numbness, stubborn weight gain, abdominal pain, digestive problems, hair loss, insomnia, and even anxiety, and don't realize their immune system is at the root of their symptoms. In her precision medicine practice, Dr Gottfried noticed a seemingly unusual pattern: many of her patients who suffer from autoimmune disease and symptoms have a history of trauma. Dr Gottfried has created a powerful programme designed to break the vicious cycle of autoimmune disease, reset your immune system and restore your health, with advice on diet, sleep, supplements, breathwork, microbiome restoration, somatic therapy and much more.

Angela is joined by Dr Molly Maloof to discuss burnout and its impact on energy metabolism. This bitesize edition looks into the ways in which we can recognise the signs of burnout, the importance of understanding cortisol levels through testing, and the role of blood sugar regulation in managing burnout. Angela and Dr Molly stress the need for individuals, especially women, to prioritise rest and lifestyle changes when experiencing burnout, rather than relying solely on diet modifications KEY TAKEAWAYS Look out for fluctuating blood sugar levels, low energy, and issues with hormone regulation as potential signs of burnout. Before addressing stress, get hormones tested, assess blood sugar regulation, and evaluate overall physiological function to understand what's happening inside the body. Rest is fundamental to healing from burnout. Slowing down, getting adequate sleep, and prioritizing rest are crucial steps in the recovery process. Eliminate processed and fast foods from the diet to reduce brain fog, inflammation, metabolic inflexibility, and gut dysfunction, which can exacerbate burnout symptoms. BEST MOMENTS "You know, it's funny, when I was writing this book, I had a little bit of a freak out because my editors were like, women who are burned out are going to buy this book." "What they're doing is they're forcing their body to pump out more cortisol the best it can but eventually it's going to just flatline." "It's really high when you're in an insulin resistant state. But when you're fully burned out and you're like I can't get out of bed in the morning because I'm so exhausted."

Angela is joined by the incredible Liz Earle, an expert in empowering midlife women to be stronger and better than ever. Liz discusses the challenges faced by women in midlife, the importance of self-care, and the need to prioritise oneself. They delve into the significance of hormones, skin care, and biohacking for aging well, plus Liz shares her insights on supplements, skin care routines, and the use of red light therapy for overall health and well-being. KEY TAKEAWAYS Start by prioritising yourself, especially during midlife when facing various challenges. Taking care of yourself is essential for overall well-being. Incorporate small health habits that stack together to have a big impact on your health. Focus on simple and easy practices that can make a difference at any age. Understand the importance of hormones, especially oestrogen, in skin health and overall well-being. Consider hormone replacement therapy if needed. Focus on a high-protein diet with healthy fats for internal skincare. For external skincare, consider ingredients like retinol, vitamin C serums, and collagen supplements. for better education on menopause, hormonal health, and women's health in medical schools and among healthcare professionals to ensure proper care and treatment options are available. BEST MOMENTS "I think the key is to start with yourself. You have to prioritise you. You have to make a commitment right at the beginning that you are worth it." "I think it's all about trying to get your body to work in a better, younger way for you. So rather than try and impose something else on your skin or your body and force it into doing something, I think to give it the tools to do it for itself is a more successful option." "Using collagen to support bones and joint health, I think is really useful. And I also add things like powdered bone broth to my coffee and shakes and yogurt and soup and anything."

Angela is joined by Dr Libby Weaver to discuss the complex relationship between women's bodies and achieving the ideal body composition. Drawing from personal experiences and observations with patients, they challenge the traditional belief that calorie restriction and intense exercise are the only factors influencing body shape and size. The discussion highlights the impact of stress hormones, particularly adrenaline, on the body's ability to burn fat and store fat KEY TAKEAWAYS The traditional belief that the calorie equation is the sole factor influencing body shape and size is challenged by real-life experiences where calorie restriction does not always lead to weight loss. The idea that intense exercise is necessary to maintain weight or body shape can be deeply ingrained, leading individuals to over-exercise unnecessarily. Elevated adrenaline levels due to psychological stress, rather than physical danger, can disrupt the body's natural processes, affecting digestion, fuel utilisation, and food cravings. Modern lifestyles with constant stressors can lead to chronically elevated adrenaline levels, impacting the body's ability to use fat as fuel and increasing cravings for sugary foods. BEST MOMENTS "You meet people who are very good at restricting calories and they still don't lose any body fat, they don't lose weight. In fact, sometimes it goes in the opposite direction." "I ran like that because it was so ingrained in me in my education that you had to exercise intensely to maintain the way that you are, to basically be able to eat." "So many women still think like that. And it breaks my heart because they live in this world of, I feel like I've got to eat like a tiny little bird and I've got to exercise like a maniac." "And it's our perceptions of pressure and urgency and it's the way we unconsciously worry about maintaining the approval of others. So in other words, it's caffeine and primarily psychological stress rather than a threat to our life."

Angela is joined by Vince Sant, the world’s fastest growing fitness coach and viral sensation, to talk about optimising metabolic health and achieving ideal physical shape, especially with the upcoming spring and summer seasons. Vince shares insights on overcoming obstacles in body re-composition, understanding different body types, setting realistic fitness goals, and the importance of tailored approaches to diet and exercise, as well as delving into the significance of cardio training, including various forms like steady-state, low-intensity, and HIIT workouts. KEY TAKEAWAYS Tailoring fitness routines and diet plans to individual goals, body types, and lifestyles is crucial for long-term success. Understanding body types (ectomorph, endomorph, mesomorph) can help in choosing the right training and diet strategies for optimal results. Different forms of cardio (steady-state, low-intensity, HIIT) offer varied benefits, and selecting the one that aligns with personal preferences and schedules is key. Consider incorporating essential amino acids, caffeine, and electrolytes like salt for improved workout performance and recovery. Consistent adherence to a workout routine that is enjoyable and fits into one's lifestyle is more important than following a rigid plan that may not be sustainable. BEST MOMENTS "I think enjoyment trumps all” “I lift heavy weights. I like going midday. I like getting two or three meals a week." "BCAAs are a phenomenal option. BCAAs are essential, they have your essential amino acids in them." "I was in pretty terrible shape, to be honest. My lifting had consisted mostly of bodybuilding style exercises, which I do blood work every six months” 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 AG1 Special Offer - https://www.drinkag1.com/angelafoster ABOUT THE GUEST Vince Sant is the creator of the popular “Fat Loss Extreme” fitness program and Co-Founder of V Shred, one of the fastest growing online fitness brands in the world.

Angela is joined by Rachel Varga to talk about the importance of skincare, sun protection, and biohacking for optimal health and wellness. They focus on the significance of wearing mineral sunscreen daily, especially due to the deeper penetration of blue light from screens into the skin. They also talk about the use of pregnancy-safe and kid-safe products free of harmful toxins, such as parabens and sulfates, exploring the role of peptides, specifically Melanotan-2, in enhancing melanin production, anti-aging benefits, and libido enhancement KEY TAKEAWAYS Avoid products with chemical sunscreens like avobenzone or oxybenzone. Opt for mineral sunscreens with zinc or titanium as active ingredients to protect hormone production. Look for products free of parabens, phthalates, sulfates, artificial dyes, and fragrances to ensure safety for both adults and children. Consider Melanotan-2 for tanning: This peptide can help increase melanin production, providing a tan without the need for self-tanners, while also offering other benefits like libido enhancement and appetite suppression. Be cautious with new rejuvenation options: Wait for products like peptides and stem cells to be well-studied and established in the market before considering them for anti-aging or aesthetic purposes. BEST MOMENTS "The blue light coming from your devices and screens is actually penetrating 100 nanometers deeper into the skin than the naturally occurring UVA and UVB rays." "I'm a big fan of using pregnancy safe, kid safe products for hair care, cleaning, and personal care, free of toxins like parabens, phthalates, and sulfates” "I do not fear the sun but ensure I have great products on my face, neck, chest, hands, and take hyper-focused antioxidants and supplements for internal defence."

Angela is joined by Dr. Neil Barnard to discuss the benefits of a plant-based diet, particularly focusing on the health implications of avoiding meat and dairy products. Dr. Barnard explains how fibre, found in plant-based foods, plays a crucial role in reducing cholesterol levels and aiding in weight loss. He emphasises the importance of essential amino acids from plant sources over animal protein for overall health. Angela and Dr Barnard also delve into the impact of saturated fats on cholesterol levels and the link between animal products and diseases like Alzheimer's KEY TAKEAWAYS A plant-based diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and beans has been shown to promote weight loss effectively. Foods like blueberries, cruciferous vegetables, green leafy vegetables, melons, citrus fruits, and beans are particularly beneficial for weight management. Saturated fat intake, primarily from animal products like dairy and meat, has been linked to an increased risk of health issues such as Alzheimer's disease. Avoiding saturated fats and focusing on plant-based sources of essential nutrients can significantly improve overall health. Insulin resistance, often caused by the accumulation of fat particles in muscle cells, can lead to persistent high blood sugar levels. Eliminating animal products and reducing added oils from the diet can help improve insulin sensitivity and regulate blood sugar levels effectively. A balanced plant-based diet with fats comprising less than 10% of total calories, complex carbohydrates as the main energy source, and adequate protein intake can support overall health and weight management without the need for strict calorie counting or macronutrient tracking. BEST MOMENTS "The protein in meat is inferior to plant protein." "The Mediterranean people were annoyed. They thought, I signed up for a research study, and I'm supposed to lose weight, and I'm not losing." "The answer to that is not to avoid healthy foods. The answer to that is to get the fat out of your cells." "Your body is designed to use glucose as its favourite fuel."

Dr. Barnard has authored more than 100 scientific publications and 20 books for medical and lay readers, and is the editor in chief of the Nutrition Guide for Clinicians, a textbook made available to all U.S. medical students. As president of the Physicians Committee, Dr. Barnard leads programs advocating for preventive medicine, good nutrition, and higher ethical standards in research. His research contributed to the acceptance of plant-based diets in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. In 2015, he was named a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology. In 2016, he founded the Barnard Medical Center in Washington, DC, as a model for making nutrition a routine part of all medical care. Working with the Medical Society of the District of Columbia and the American Medical Association, Dr. Barnard has authored key resolutions, now part of AMA policy, calling for a new focus on prevention and nutrition in federal policies and in medical practice. In 2018, he received the Medical Society of the District of Columbia’s Distinguished Service Award. He has hosted four PBS television programs on nutrition and health. Originally from Fargo, North Dakota, Dr. Barnard received his M.D. degree at the George Washington University School of Medicine and completed his residency at the same institution. He practiced at St. Vincent’s Hospital in New York before returning to Washington to found the Physicians Committee.

Angela presents a bitesize biohack alongside Dr Izabella Wentz, where the focus is on fixing adrenal protocols and addressing stressors that impact the body's response to stress. The discussion delves into various factors such as sleep deprivation, psychological stress, history of traumas, nutritional stressors, and the importance of pleasurable activities in reducing stress levels KEY TAKEAWAYS Sleep deprivation, psychological stress, history of traumas, nutritional stressors, and excessive exercise can all send danger signals to the body and contribute to adrenal dysfunction. Ensuring blood sugar balance, consuming adequate protein and fat, replenishing depleted nutrients like B vitamins and magnesium, and incorporating mitochondrial support can help in restoring adrenal health. individuals experiencing adrenal burnout, longer fasts, extreme exercise, and other high-stress activities may exacerbate symptoms rather than improve them. It's essential to listen to the body and prioritize gentle, nourishing practices. Engaging in activities that bring joy and relaxation, such as spending time in nature or pursuing hobbies for enjoyment rather than profit, can help shift the body from a stress response to a thriving state. BEST MOMENTS "Fasting can be healthy for a lot of people if they're healthy enough to fast, but when you're in a really depleted state, fasting can actually send your metabolism further from what you want it to be." "I see a lot of improvements in deep sleep. Deep restorative sleep and REM sleep are some of the improvements that we start seeing when the body gets into this state where we start healing in our sleep." "I think we've kind of been conditioned over the last few years as women that we've got to be doing these super high-profile jobs and fasting for like 16 to 24 hours a day or even three-day water-only fasts."

Angela is joined by special guests, Dr. Zulia Frost and Bjorn Ekberg, experts in photobiomodulation and red light therapy. They discuss the benefits of near-infrared and red light therapy, clarifying the differences between the two and how they affect cellular health. The conversation also delves into the mechanics of photobiomodulation, focusing on the impact on mitochondria and energy production in the body. They explore the optimal timing and placement of red light therapy for various purposes, such as enhancing energy, improving sleep, aiding recovery from exercise, and addressing specific health conditions KEY TAKEAWAYS Red light therapy is effective for skin-related issues, while near-infrared light penetrates deeper for muscle and tissue benefits. Using the device one hour before exercise can enhance performance, while using it post-workout aids in recovery. Treating one area with the device can have systemic effects on the body, enhancing overall health and energy levels. To avoid diminishing returns, it's recommended to take breaks after consistent use and not overuse the device. FlexBeam offers targeted treatment, unlike ambient radiation from panels or saunas, making it more efficient and effective for specific conditions. BEST MOMENTS "I think panels have own goodness about them because you can create lots of photonic radiation in the room for systemic general effect." "I recommend people to use it before they go to sleep to help to enable better sleep, better energy production in the body." "The best red light therapy device is the one that you use the most." "Pre-conditioning, when you use it before you exercise, is actually also accumulative and very good."

Angela presents a bitesize biohack alongside Chris Masterjohn with a focus on the foundations of living a healthy and vibrant life through nutrition. The discussion revolves around the importance of obtaining nutrients from whole foods rather than relying on fortified foods and delves into the pitfalls of relying on fortified foods and the potential deficiencies that can arise from not diversifying one's diet. KEY TAKEAWAYS Focus on getting nutrients from whole foods to ensure a healthy diet. Avoid relying on fortified foods and instead construct a well-rounded diet. Diversify protein sources, including meat, fish, dairy, eggs, and legumes. Balance carbohydrates with whole grains, starchy tubers, legumes, and fruits. Individual factors such as menstrual blood loss can affect micronutrient needs. BEST MOMENTS "I think rule one is how could you get all your vitamins and minerals and proteins, fats and carbohydrates and calories and everything that you need from whole foods." "It's interesting if you look at history how that generally only works for a period of time." "If you are trying to eat a very restrictive diet, you really need to think a lot about this." "I seem to really struggle with enough potassium. That's just something It's been right from the days when I was practicing as a lawyer."

Angela is joined by special guest, Rachel Scheer, who shares her personal journey of overcoming burnout and health issues through a combination of functional medicine, inner work, and self-discovery. Rachel discusses the importance of aligning with the natural cycles of the body, particularly for women, and how she incorporates intention, visualisation, and self-care into her daily routine. Rachel emphasises the significance of listening to one's body, prioritising sleep, and taking breaks throughout the day to maintain productivity and well-being KEY TAKEAWAYS Rachel emphasises the importance of prioritising sleep as a non-negotiable aspect of her routine to prevent burnout and enhance productivity. Understanding the hormonal fluctuations throughout the menstrual cycle can help women optimise their energy levels and productivity by knowing when to push and when to pull back. Rachel's two-hour morning routine includes meditation, cold water exposure, movement, and exercise, setting her up mentally and physically for a successful day. Taking intentional breaks throughout the day, including micro-breaks and a dedicated lunch break, helps Rachel maintain focus and energy levels. Incorporating visualisation practices into her routine, Rachel focuses on gratitude, visualisation of her goals, and aligning her intentions with her actions to create a fulfilling and successful day. BEST MOMENTS "We have both experienced that and come out the other side much more optimised." "I think it's always coming back to intention in everything that we do” "It's so inspiring for people listening, particularly for women because of the way we hold ourselves back." "I think for a lot of women, they are more prone to burnout because we are just taught to drive and drive hard in a lot of ways."

Angela presents a bitesize biohack alongside Stacy Sims, in which they highlight the benefits of blackcurrant juice concentrate for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, particularly in alleviating PMS symptoms. They also touch upon the importance of vitamin D supplementation, especially in regions with limited sunlight during winter, emphasising its role in mood, immunity, and overall health KEY TAKEAWAYS Blackcurrant juice concentrate is beneficial for women with PMS or inflammation issues due to its anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties. Supplementing with blackcurrant juice concentrate can help enhance total recovery and alleviate symptoms of bloating, cramping, and mood changes associated with PMS or PPMD. Vitamin D is crucial for mood, immunity, iron status, muscle function, gut health, and brain health, especially in regions with limited sunlight exposure. It is recommended to consume around 20ml of blackcurrant juice concentrate or tart cherry juice concentrate for their anti-inflammatory benefits. Regular monitoring of vitamin D levels through blood tests is essential, and supplementing with at least 2000 international units every other day may be necessary, particularly during darker winter months to combat deficiencies and improve overall health. BEST MOMENTS "Blackcurrant juice concentrate is really more of a real food way. It's considered a supplement, but when you're looking at all the supplements that are out there, a juice concentrate is closer to the real food spectrum than a powder." "There's a little bit more evidence for the anti-inflammatory responses from the blackcurrant than there is from the tart cherry." "Vitamin D is super, super important. I can't stress how important it is, especially when we live in places that are far away from the equator and we have lots of time of rain and dark winters."
