Angela is joined by special guest, Dr. Andrew Steele to discuss the topic of aging and longevity. Dr. Steele shares insights on the biology of aging, potential advancements in anti-aging treatments, and the importance of funding aging biology research. They also delve into various aspects of aging, including the ten hallmarks of aging, the role of mitochondria, and the impact of telomere length. Dr. Steele touches on the differences in aging between men and women, highlighting the unique evolutionary aspects of menopause and mitochondrial inheritance KEY TAKEAWAYS Dr. Steele discusses the importance of evidence-based research when it comes to supplements and aging. Should aging be seen as a disease of some kind, with considerations for regulatory advantages and perspective shifts? The 10 hallmarks of aging include DNA damage, telomere shortening, protein dysfunction, mitochondrial issues, and immune system changes. Mitochondria, known as the powerhouse of the cell, play a crucial role in energy production and aging processes. Evolutionary theories, such as the grandmother hypothesis, shed light on menopause and longevity differences between genders. BEST MOMENTS "The best piece of health advice is to campaign for more funding for aging biology research." "We've got ideas for how to slow down the aging process, how maybe even to reverse it." "The risk of death doubles about every eight years. This is a phenomenally universal fact of being human." "Mitochondria are the only part of your cell that have their own DNA."

Angela presents a biohack alongside Dr Jacey Folkers, in which they discuss the importance of strategically dosing carbohydrates before a workout for optimal performance. They delve into the impact of insulin resistance on blood glucose control, and hormone balance, particularly in women, and how certain peptides and supplements can help improve insulin sensitivity and hormonal health. The conversation also touches on the benefits of peptides like semaglutide and terzipatide for weight loss and appetite suppression, as well as the use of supplements like berberine, alpha lipoic acid, and chromium to optimize blood sugar levels KEY TAKEAWAYS Strategic carbohydrate consumption before a workout can be beneficial for active individuals. Peptides and supplements can help improve insulin resistance and lead to positive effects on hormones. Berberine, alpha lipoic acid, chromium, and B vitamins are recommended for optimising blood sugar levels. Dosing of peptides like semaglutide should be individualised to avoid side effects like nausea and loss of appetite. Tailoring treatment to the patient's response is crucial in achieving desired outcomes and minimising side effects. BEST MOMENTS "Insulin itself is considered a peptide and kind of a hormone. It's one of my favorite peptides. I have a daughter that's a type 1 diabetic, and she wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for insulin." "Berberine has a lot of positive things it can do. Obviously, one of them is to help improve blood sugar levels, insulin resistance. It also has been shown to improve the lipids, the cholesterol." "I've definitely noticed that with PCOS, the common thing is, you know, for me, because I've got that more kind of pro-androgenic, if I have too much sugar, it leads to breakouts. That's the first thing that I'm going to see."

Angela is joined by Danielle Hamilton to talk about the importance of blood sugar regulation and its impact on overall health. They discuss the far-reaching effects of blood sugar dysregulation on various bodily functions and organs, and delve into the role of circadian rhythms, stress, cortisol, leptin, and mineral deficiencies in influencing blood sugar levels. They also explore the nuances of managing blood sugar based on individual needs, such as considering exercise levels, meal timing, and mineral intake. KEY TAKEAWAYS Blood sugar affects how we feel and impacts long-term health, affecting every cell and organ in the body. 93% of Americans show signs of metabolic dysfunction, even before reaching pre-diabetes or diabetes. Circadian rhythm and stress play a significant role in blood sugar regulation, emphasising the importance of light exposure and meal timing. Leptin and insulin levels are crucial for metabolic health, with leptin signalling energy storage and insulin facilitating glucose utilisation. Sodium, magnesium, and potassium deficiencies can impact blood sugar regulation and overall health, highlighting the importance of mineral balance in the body. BEST MOMENTS "So our blood sugar affects how we feel at every second of every day, and it has huge impacts on our long term health." "I see chronic stress as being one of the number one causes of chronically high blood sugar." "I think that it's no coincidence that these high starch foods, which raise insulin, are autumn foods, because we were meant to raise our blood sugar and insulin to put on fat for the winter." "I've noticed was that my potassium became very low and that seemed to be impacting my blood glucose."

Angela presents a biohack alongside Kristen Holmes, looking at the topic of heart rate variability and its significance in measuring one's ability to adapt to external stress, highlighting the individual variability in heart rate variability and how it can be influenced by various lifestyle choices and experiences KEY TAKEAWAYS Heart rate variability varies greatly among individuals and is influenced by lifestyle choices made over time. Understanding and improving heart rate variability involves considering factors such as alcohol consumption, sleep quality, sleep-wake timing, diet, relationships, and past trauma. Heart rate variability reflects the body's ability to adapt to external stressors, with higher variability associated with better health outcomes and reduced risk of cardiovascular events and metabolic diseases. Sleep-wake regularity has been identified as a key predictor of physiological and psychological functioning, with consistent sleep-wake times correlating with better overall well-being and performance. BEST MOMENTS "I think it varies greatly. And I think it's a product of all the micro choices you've made over the course of your life." "And he saw in this four-year perspective study at Harvard University, he saw a relationship between sleep-wake regularity and GPA." "I mean, circadian disruption is, I mean, if you think about it from the standpoint of when you look at mental health issues, 100% of mental health issues will have some component of circadian disruption."

Angela is joined by Dr. Gabrielle Lyon who’s here to discuss her new book, "Forever Strong," which focuses on the importance of skeletal muscle health for overall well-being. Dr. Lyon shares insights on preventing muscle wastage, especially in the context of aging and hormonal changes like menopause, focusing on the significance of starting early with resistance training and proper nutrition to maintain skeletal muscle mass. They also investigate the relationship between physical strength and mental resilience, highlighting the role of courage, perseverance, self-discipline, adaptability, and resilience in achieving overall strength. KEY TAKEAWAYS Nutrition plays a crucial role in supporting healthy skeletal muscle mass, with a recommended protein intake of 1 gram per pound of ideal body weight. The discrepancy between DEXA and in-body scans for measuring body fat percentage highlights the need for alternative methods like waist-to-hip ratio for those without access to advanced scans. Building mental strength is just as important as physical strength, with attributes like courage, perseverance, self-discipline, adaptability, and resilience being key factors. Dr. Gabrielle's "Forever Strong" community offers a supportive platform for individuals to access resources, training programs, recipes, and engage in discussions on health and fitness. BEST MOMENTS "It is much more dangerous to lose skeletal muscle mass than it is to gain fat. So we have focused all about adipose tissue, but actually, who cares about that?" "The biggest, most exciting thing that I'm thrilled about is that we get questions like this all the time. So I have created a community and it's called a forever strong community." "The first thing that I would say is, What have you ever done worthwhile that didn't require courage?" "I was told I would never come off bipolar medication. And now I'm completely medication free and I credit that to the daily discipline of looking after myself."

Angela is joined by Louise Digby, who discusses her passion for helping women optimise their metabolism and harmonise their hormones. Louise shares her journey of specialising in hormonal health after noticing common challenges women face with weight loss, especially after the age of 35. Louise also delves into the key factors that can hinder weight loss, such as gut health, toxic load, and nutrient deficiencies. KEY TAKEAWAYS Gut health, high toxic load, and nutrient deficiencies are common factors that can hinder weight loss and hormonal balance in women. Nutritional insufficiencies, such as B vitamins, magnesium, and zinc, can significantly impact metabolism and lead to symptoms like fatigue and hair issues. Addressing cravings by listening to the body's signals for specific nutrients can help improve overall health and reduce the reliance on unhealthy foods. Fasting can be a useful tool for weight loss and health improvement, but it should be introduced gradually and monitored closely, especially for individuals with high stress levels or intense exercise routines. BEST MOMENTS "Belly fat isn't caused by greed or laziness and overindulgence. It's typically caused by an imbalance in hormones, namely high cortisol and sometimes insulin as well." "I think it's really important to have the foundations in place before incorporating fasting. It can add an extra stress burden, especially for highly stressed individuals." "Food really is information. It's nutrition. We need to focus on adding in the stuff that we're lacking as opposed to obsessing over what we can't eat."

Angela is joined by Matt Gallant and Wade Lightheart from BIOptimizers to discuss the complexities of universal nutritional optimisers, drawing from their extensive experience as trainers and their dedication to uncovering the most effective dietary strategies. Matt and Wade debunk myths surrounding calories in, calories out, and delve into the nuances of macronutrients like protein and fibre, highlighting the importance of individualised approaches to diet and lifestyle. KEY TAKEAWAYS Universal nutritional optimisers that work regardless of the diet followed are of the utmost importance When it comes to the calories in, calories out axiom, Wade and Matt stress the significance of protein and fibre intake in managing satiety and triggering anabolism.

It’s vital to tailor nutrition and exercise routines to align with hormonal cycles, especially for women, to maximise results and overall health. Matt and Wade share insights into their daily routines, including sleep optimisation, cognitive enhancers, and stress management techniques, showcasing a holistic approach to high performance living. BEST MOMENTS "I started doing ketogenic diets over 30 years ago. I thought that was the answer for everyone. I put all my clients on it." "The reality was about 80% of those strategies were similar. The other 20% was the nuances that we found within the individual." "I think if your sleep is hyper optimised, if you're consuming enough protein feedings a day, and it's worth highlighting that that is the biggest downside of intermittent fasting." "The reality is, and no matter how good your diet is, you're going to need supplements to fill the holes or your genetic weaknesses."

Angela is joined for this bitesize episode by Simon Ong to look at the complexities of balancing work, family, and personal well-being. They candidly discuss the common feelings of guilt that many individuals, especially women, experience when juggling various responsibilities. Through personal anecdotes and case studies, they explore the societal pressures that contribute to these feelings of guilt and the importance of setting boundaries. KEY TAKEAWAYS Finding peace with the setup of work and family responsibilities can lead to being more present and productive in both areas. Setting boundaries and utilising time effectively can enhance the quality of time spent with family. Setting boundaries in work hours can lead to improved performance and decision-making. By creating limits, individuals can focus on tasks efficiently and rely more on intuition, leading to better outcomes. Conducting regular energy audits in physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions can help in maintaining a balanced and energised state. Engaging in activities like exercise, reading, journaling, and reflecting on values can contribute to overall well-being. BEST MOMENTS "When she comes home, we as parents have had some rest, we've been able to move forward in the things that are meaningful for us." "I think one of the major contributors is the fact that I had this boundary because once I had the boundary in place I did not have time to overthink." "I see it in four dimensions. So physical energy, mental energy, emotional energy, and spiritual energy."

Angela presents a segment from a live appearance in which she discusses the Mirror Principle, a transformative concept that can significantly impact one's ability to achieve goals. The episode begins by defining the Mirror Principle as a reflection of self-identity and paradigm, emphasising the importance of creating a clear and intentional identity when pursuing a goal. Through personal anecdotes and examples, the host illustrates how the Mirror Principle operates in various aspects of life, from physical health to financial success KEY TAKEAWAYS The Mirror Principle emphasises the importance of creating a clear and intentional identity when pursuing goals. The reflection in the mirror represents past decisions, behaviours, and identity, not the immediate reality. Reprogramming the subconscious mind through intentional identity creation is crucial for achieving long-term goals. Celebrating wins, practicing gratitude, and prioritizing key actions are essential steps in reinforcing the desired identity. Understanding paradigms and worldviews is vital in aligning actions with the desired identity and overcoming self-sabotage. BEST MOMENTS "You're creating this very strong image of who this person is." "You cannot hate yourself into a great body." "Gratitude is the massive amplifier." "Who am I being is the question I want you to ask most often during your day."

The conversation touches on topics such as building anti-fragile confidence, the role of meditation in improving consciousness, and the necessity of humility in maintaining success. Brian shares practical tips for optimising daily routines, focusing on the process rather than the outcome, and cultivating a mindset of continuous improvement KEY TAKEAWAYS Prioritise energy, work, and love by focusing on eating, moving, sleeping, breathing, and focusing the mind consistently. Embrace challenges as opportunities to grow stronger by maintaining faith, having a plan, and being prepared for setbacks. Start and end each day intentionally to set the tone for productivity and well-being. Recognise the importance of humility in acknowledging the need to consistently sharpen your skills and prioritize self-care. Plan and structure your day to align with your vision of a successful and fulfilling day, focusing on the small things that matter most. BEST MOMENTS "The science, as I understand it, is unequivocal. You need to have a sense of what you want, but then you need to rub it up against reality." "The higher the mountain, the more important the most basic fundamentals are. You better be doing the smallest little things well." "I adamantly do not agree with the basic idea of the law of attraction that states that you simply need to imagine that which you want to see manifested in your life." "I love the separation between the process and the outcome. Clearly we want to have goals, outcome goals that we're thinking about." "The first and most importantly, think about that. What would a masterpiece day look like for you?"

Angela is joined by Dr Christopher Shade to talk about the importance of phosphatidylcholine in the body and how it plays a crucial role in cell membranes and organelles. They also delve into the significance of maintaining healthy membranes for optimal biochemical power and the consequences of damaged membranes. The conversation then shifts to the topic of toxicity, specifically mercury, and the process of detoxification. KEY TAKEAWAYS Phosphatidylcholine is an important component of cell membranes and membranous organelles, and its deficiency can lead to cell disruption and dysfunction. Membranes play a crucial role in driving biochemical power in the body by separating opposites and maintaining polarity. Mercury toxicity can be a concern, especially from consuming larger fish like tuna and swordfish. Choosing smaller fish with lower mercury levels is recommended. Mercury detox involves using glutathione and glutathione S-transferase to release mercury from proteins in cells, pushing it out of the cell with the help of ATP and magnesium, and eliminating it through bile flow and stool. BEST MOMENTS "Membrane drives all biochemical power in the body by separating opposites." - Interviewee "You can eat those as your sole protein source three times a day and never become toxic." - Interviewee "The way you do mercury detox, and this is really a model for how you do all detox." - Interviewee "We should live really strongly past our 80s. We should pretty easily get up to around 100."

Angela is joined by Dr Milli Raizada who discusses the topic of hormone imbalance, specifically focusing on oestrogen dominance and its impact on women's health. She breaks down the concept of oestrogen dominance and explains that it can occur due to various factors such as excess oestrogen production, impaired oestrogen breakdown, and exposure to oestrogen mimickers in the environment. Dr. Milli also talks about the importance of understanding the role of hormones in the body and how they can be influenced by lifestyle factors such as nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress management, addressing the challenges in diagnosing and treating hormone imbalances within the current medical system, highlighting the need for more research and personalised approaches to care. KEY TAKEAWAYS Oestrogen dominance is a complex issue that can occur through multiple mechanisms, including high oestrogen levels, low progesterone levels, and exposure to xenoestrogens. Lifestyle factors such as nutrition, exercise, sleep, and avoiding toxic substances play a crucial role in hormone balance and overall health. Perimenopause is a phase characterised by fluctuating and declining oestrogen levels, which can lead to various symptoms such as weight gain, brain fog, and mood changes. Personalised management plans, including hormone replacement therapy (HRT), can be beneficial for women experiencing perimenopausal symptoms, but lifestyle changes should also be incorporated. Body identical HRT, which includes oestrogen and progesterone, is the recommended approach, while bioidentical HRT is unregulated and lacks robust clinical trials. Progesterone therapy can be individualised based on patient needs and preferences. BEST MOMENTS "We know oestrogen is broken down and then we look at those oestrogen metabolites... they have been associated and correlated with certain health conditions." "We need to remember that [the NHS] is an excellent system for people who are presenting who are unwell and not necessarily people who are wanting preventative care." "Nutrition is the biggest pillar in the chapter in my book... eating unprocessed whole foods is very important."

Angela presents a bitesize featuring Dr. Stephen Gundry, a renowned cardiologist and author, focussing upon mitochondrial uncoupling, a fascinating process that can turbocharge metabolism and aid in weight loss. Dr. Gundry explains how mitochondria, the powerhouses of our cells, generate energy through the coupling of oxygen and protons. KEY TAKEAWAYS Mitochondrial uncoupling is a process that turns cells into high-performance machines, similar to a Ferrari. Uncoupling allows mitochondria to release excess pressure and protect themselves from damage caused by the energy production process. Uncoupling leads to the generation of heat, which helps in maintaining body temperature. Uncoupling also reduces the workload of each mitochondrion, allowing them to divide and create more mitochondria within a cell. Older people who are thriving and individuals in blue zones have highly uncoupled mitochondria, which contributes to their longevity and overall health. BEST MOMENTS "Believe it or not, the best way to keep your mitochondrial healthy is to uncouple them." "We reduce the work of each mitochondria, but because mitochondria have their own DNA, they can divide and make more mitochondria within a cell without the cell dividing." "And then you start looking at some of the blue zones, and it turns out that the food that these blue zones eat our foods that hopefully we'll talk about are really good at uncoupling mitochondria." "There's a theory of aging called the cost of living hypothesis. And it's quite a nice theory. And that says the higher your metabolic rate, the shorter your lifespan."

Angela talks to author and psychedelics expert Matt Zemon, about psychedelics and their potential for personal growth and healing. Matt shares his personal journey with psychedelics, including his first experience and the profound insights he gained. They discuss the importance of intention, set, and setting when using psychedelics, as well as the different types of psychedelics and their effects. Matt emphasises the role of integration in harnessing the transformative power of these substances and how they can help individuals connect with their true selves and experience a sense of interconnectedness KEY TAKEAWAYS Psychedelics can be a catalyst for personal growth and self-discovery, but they are not a cure-all and should be approached with caution. The three key factors for reducing risk when using psychedelics are source (knowing where the medicine comes from), set (having the right mindset and intention), and setting (creating a safe and supportive physical environment). Different psychedelics have different effects and purposes. For example, MDMA can be used for treating PTSD, psilocybin can facilitate deep introspection, and DMT can provide profound spiritual experiences. Integration work is crucial after a psychedelic experience to incorporate the insights and lessons into everyday life. Psychedelics can also be beneficial for end-of-life care, helping individuals and their families navigate the process with more peace and acceptance. BEST MOMENTS "The first thing they're going to do is quiet down your default mode network. So that's that inner narrator that is constantly telling you you're not enough, you need to do more, you're not worthy." "I think that combination of three medicines over a few days is really a powerful arc." "It's so interesting what you're saying. So interesting. I remember being with my father when he passed away and just realizing in those final moments, the just how much human touch could make a difference."

www.angelafosterperformance.com/hormones Angela discusses the topic of oestrogen and its impact on women's health during perimenopause, focussing on the various symptoms that can arise when oestrogen levels drop, such as hot flashes, brain fog, low mood, irritability, and anxiety. Angela provides valuable nutritional strategies to support healthy oestrogen levels, including incorporating phytoestrogen-rich foods like nuts, flax seeds, soy, and red clover. Omega-3 fatty acids from sources like oily fish and grass-fed meat are recommended to boost serotonin levels and alleviate mood-related symptoms. Cruciferous vegetables, probiotics, and foods rich in polyphenols are also highlighted for their ability to support gut health and oestrogen metabolism. KEY TAKEAWAYS Phytoestrogens, found in foods like nuts, flax seeds, soy, red clover, pomegranate, and kudzu, can help alleviate menopausal symptoms by improving oestrogen levels. Omega-3 fatty acids, found in oily fish like salmon, mackerel, anchovies, sardines, and herrings, can help boost serotonin levels and improve mood during perimenopause. Cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, bok choy, brussels sprouts, kale, mustard, kohlrabi, and turnip, contain DIM, which can shift oestrogen metabolism to favour healthy oestrogen metabolites. Consuming probiotic-rich foods like live yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi, kombucha, and limited amounts of sourdough bread can support a healthy microbiome and oestrogen levels. Calcium D Glucarate, found in fruits and vegetables like Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cabbage, and apples, can inhibit enzymes that contribute to breast and colon cancer and reduce oestrogen absorption from the digestive tract. BEST MOMENTS "Perimenopause can be a bit of a curve ball for many women." (Host) "Phytoestrogens have healthy oestrogen-like activity that can help alleviate menopausal symptoms." (Host) "Omega-3 fatty acids can help improve low mood and serotonin levels." (Host) "Cruciferous vegetables contain DIM, which can shift oestrogen metabolism to favour friendly oestrogen metabolites." (Host) "Good quality fats are associated with a lower risk of heart disease and breast cancer."

Angela talks to special guest, John R. Miles, author of the book "Passion Struck." John shares his personal journey of resilience and overcoming challenges, including a traumatic brain injury. He discusses the importance of inner grit and perseverance in pursuing one's passions, and emphasises the need to break free from a routine that lacks fulfilment and offers practical advice on how to align intentions with actions. He also explores the concept of self-mastery and the power of reinvention, delving into the mindset and behaviours of high performers, the importance of reading and continuous learning, and the role of intentionality in achieving success KEY TAKEAWAYS The book "Passion Struck" explores the mindset and behaviours necessary for creating a fulfilling and passionate life. The key to breaking free from a life that feels unfulfilling is to align your intentions with your actions and make intentional changes in one area of your life at a time. Developing self-mastery and overcoming self-doubt are crucial components of living a passion-driven life. Time is malleable, and by optimising your time and being intentional with your actions, you can accomplish more in less time. Reinvention and continuous learning are essential for personal growth and success in a rapidly changing world. BEST MOMENTS "It's really coming down to this feeling of, do you want to keep perpetuating a life where you're making other people's dreams come true, but you're not making your own dreams come true?" "To break free from that, it's not something that's just done overnight. I think the first thing that you've got to do is create awareness that you have these behaviours in the first place." "The upper limit problem is something that a lot of us face, we tend to think that we can only grow so far." "The more intentional actions that you start taking in these micro choices that make up your day, the easier that path is going to become."

Angela and guest Dr Sarah Hill discuss the fascinating research on the stress response and cortisol in relation to hormonal birth control, highlighting the profound influence of sex hormones on the body and how women on hormonal birth control have a blunted cortisol response to stress. KEY TAKEAWAYS Women on hormonal birth control have a blunted cortisol response to stress. Cortisol is beneficial in the short term for coping with stress and memory formation. Chronic exposure to cortisol can be detrimental to the body, leading to a shutdown of the stress response. Women on the birth control pill exhibit a blunted cortisol response similar to individuals with PTSD or trauma. The first three months of birth control pill use may cause the HPA axis to go into overdrive, leading to a shutdown of the stress response. BEST MOMENTS "Cortisol helps our body and our brain cope with whatever it is that we're experiencing that's stressful." "Women who are on the birth control pill exhibit this blunted cortisol response to stress because they essentially have the HPA axis, which is the brain adrenal axis, which is the thing that drives cortisol release and regulates cortisol release." "I think the body goes into cortisol overdrive when you go on the pill, and I think it probably has to do with the progestins binding to these cortisol receptors."

Angela is joined by Kristen Holmes, to discuss the features and benefits of the WHOOP physiological monitoring device. They delve into the concept of recovery and how WHOOP helps individuals understand their body's response to external stress. They also explore metrics such as heart rate variability, strain, and sleep consistency, highlighting their importance in achieving optimal health and performance, looking at the impact of circadian rhythms, light exposure, and sleep-wake times on overall well-being. KEY TAKEAWAYS WHOOP is a 24/7 physiological monitoring device that tracks heart rate, heart rate variability, strain, and sleep. Recovery is a key metric that measures how well your body is adapting to external stressors. Sleep regularity, or consistent sleep-wake times, is crucial for optimal health and functioning. Heart rate variability is a measure of your body's ability to adapt to stress and is associated with improved cardiovascular and metabolic function. Strain is a measure of cardiovascular load and can be influenced by factors such as exercise intensity, sleep, and stress levels. BEST MOMENTS " We want to try to get ourselves into a regular sleep-wake cycle, we want to focus on waking up at a similar time every single day, because what that does is then where our exposure to light is happening at a similar time” "When we started this whole kind of campaign around strain, it was really to understand how hard your heart is working." "I think it's just getting out of this, like, step mindset and thinking about, 'Alright, how hard is my heart working? And how active am I versus sedentary?'" "It’s velocity-based training is kind of what we're understanding how quickly you're moving the weights. And there's an algorithm that helps us understand what that load on your musculoskeletal is."

Angela discusses the importance of controlling the process in order to achieve goals. While we may not have control over the outcome, we can control our actions and focus on the present moment. Angela looks at the need to celebrate wins along the way and avoid comparing ourselves to others, as comparison can be demotivating. She also explores the emotional cycle of change and the stages one goes through when trying to create behaviour change KEY TAKEAWAYS While we may not have control over the outcome, we can control the process by visualising ourselves doing the work and taking steps towards our goals. Instead of focusing on the gap between where we are and where we want to be, it's important to celebrate the progress we make each day. This helps to stay motivated and avoid comparing ourselves to others. The emotional cycle of change consists of stages such as uninformed optimism, informed pessimism, the valley of despair, informed optimism, and success. Pushing through the valley of despair is crucial for achieving goals. Prioritise the actions that will have the most impact on moving closer to your goals. Make small, consistent changes that build self-confidence and self-esteem BEST MOMENTS "Comparison is really the thief of joy." "If you go through that valley of despair and then you kind of step back, you don't continue with what you're doing, you're not going to achieve your goals." "When we follow through on things, that helps to build our self-confidence and our self-esteem." "If you just focus on getting 1% better every day, within 12 months you will be 37 times better."

Angela is joined by functional medicine practitioner, Dr. Jacey Folkers, who specialises in optimising health through lifestyle changes, peptides, hormone replacement therapy, and supplements. They discuss the importance of prioritising gut health and addressing gut issues, such as leaky gut and malabsorption, which can lead to autoimmune conditions, chronic fatigue, and weight loss resistance. They also delve into the role of insulin resistance in hormone imbalances, particularly in women with conditions like PCOS, and how peptides like semi-glutide can positively influence insulin resistance and improve hormonal balance. KEY TAKEAWAYS Prioritising gut health is crucial for overall health and well-being, especially for individuals who exercise frequently. Insulin resistance can lead to hormone imbalances in women, and addressing insulin resistance can have positive effects on hormonal health. Artificial sweeteners, especially those found in processed foods and drinks, can have negative effects on the body and should be avoided or minimised. Supplementing with key nutrients like magnesium, B vitamins, and antioxidants can support energy production, combat oxidative stress, and promote overall health. Getting adequate sleep is important for optimal health, and prioritising sleep hygiene and creating a consistent sleep schedule can have a significant impact on well-being. BEST MOMENTS “There's no such thing as a magic supplement or magic pill, you got, you still have to do all of the work." "I feel everyone should be taking CoQ10 like after the age of like 35 because it just kind of is going to decline." "I think I just need a lot more relaxation and rest than I because I just go I, I like to go, go, go, go, go. But, that's like humans today."

Angela delves into the power of visualisation, discussing goal visualisation and process visualisation. She emphasises the importance of embodying the person who achieves the goals and taking inspired action, and touches on the significance of belief in oneself and the universe's power to help manifest goals KEY TAKEAWAYS Visualisation is a powerful tool for achieving goals, and there are two types: goal visualisation and process visualisation. Goal visualisation involves visualising the outcome and feeling of achieving a goal. Process visualisation focuses on visualising the steps and actions taken to reach the goal. Taking inspired action, developing self-discipline, and releasing attachment to outcomes are important for achieving goals and co-creating with the universe. BEST MOMENTS "You're effectively co-creating with the universe, but you're releasing attachment. That this is going, everything is unfolding for you." "Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become." "How does your ideal self show up and conduct activities? What kind of decisions does he or she make? What habits and routines do you have to support yourself in that process?"

Angela is joined by Paul from Mindset Change UK, to discuss the key factors that prevent people from living their best lives and creating the changes they desire. Paul explains that conditioning from the past often holds people back, leading to self-sabotage and an upper limit problem. They delve into the importance of devaluing negative thoughts and programs, as well as the role of coaching in overcoming anxiety and achieving personal growth. They also explore the concept of self-love and the power of mindfulness in shifting mindset. KEY TAKEAWAYS Conditioning from the past often prevents people from living their best lives. Conditioning can occur at any age, not just during childhood. Anxiety is often caused by neglecting emotional and physical needs. Seeking help and coaching is important for personal growth and overcoming limitations. Focussing too much on the mind rather than the mind-body-heart connection can also lead to anxiety. Devaluing negative thoughts and programs is important in order to break free from them and create new, positive beliefs. BEST MOMENTS "We can have what's known as an upper limit problem. So some people get to a certain level when it comes to success and then they do everything they can to sabotage the hell out of it." "There is a lot of science talking about what we pick up conditioning-wise from our parents and adult caregivers as we were growing up." "The more we begin to devalue it and make it boring... the more quickly we change." "If you're not seeking help, you're falling into the trap of staying miserable. You're falling into the trap of struggling, which is another way of you not reaching your goals."

Angela kicks off the new year with a bitesize episode exploring the real reason why people may not be achieving their goals, and looking at the power of the subconscious mind, which directs 90% of our actions. To achieve our goals, Angela suggests developing habits and rituals that become automatic, highlighting two potential obstacles: values that are not aligned with the goal and hidden commitments in other areas of life KEY TAKEAWAYS The subconscious mind plays a significant role in directing our actions and behaviours, with 90% of our actions being driven by the subconscious. To achieve goals, it is important to establish habits and rituals that become automatic and aligned with our values. Hidden commitments can hinder goal achievement, and it is crucial to identify and address them. Resistance and hidden commitments are different, with resistance being the feeling of not wanting to follow through on a particular action, while hidden commitments arise from conflicting priorities or commitments. Motivation comes through action, so it is important to start taking action towards goals rather than waiting for motivation to appear. BEST MOMENTS "Now, we know that 90% of what we do is directed by our subconscious mind, not by the conscious mind." "Understanding that you will always act in alignment with your highest values is really, really important." "Resistance is when we feel like we can't sort of or we don't want to follow through on a particular area." "Motivation comes through action. So do not wait for motivation to get started."

Angela is joined by Dr. Stacy Sims, who discusses the updated science and recommendations for women's health and fitness, specifically focusing on the menstrual cycle, perimenopause, and postmenopause. She highlights the importance of adapting exercise and training strategies to accommodate the changes in hormone levels and body composition during these stages. Dr. Stacy Sims emphasises the need for a personalized approach, taking into account individual experiences and tracking of the menstrual cycle. She also discusses the benefits of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and sprint interval training (SIT) for women, as well as the importance of resistance training KEY TAKEAWAYS Hormone therapy, also known as menopause hormone therapy, is a tool that can help mitigate symptoms of menopause, such as mood swings, sleep issues, and vasomotor symptoms. However, it does not replace the need for lifestyle changes to improve body composition and overall health. Women in perimenopause and postmenopause should focus on high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and sprint interval training (SIT) to stimulate glycolytic activity and enhance mitochondrial health. This type of training can be done through various exercises, such as running, cycling, rowing, or plyometric movements. Resistance training, particularly power-based exercises like deadlifts, squats, and shoulder presses, should be a consistent part of a woman's exercise routine. Periodizing resistance training can help target specific muscle groups and prevent boredom. Supplements like black currant juice concentrate, tart cherry juice, creatine, omega-3s, and vitamin D can be beneficial for women's health. BEST MOMENTS "We have to look at getting some more oxidative capacity. So that's when zone two might come in handy.” "So when we're looking at mitochondria and function, that is all about that high-intensity glycolytic stuff that we're women don't have a lot of so then it causes an up regulation of the Transport mechanisms." "We have two weeks of focus training and then one week of full recovery. And in that recovery week, this is your mobility.” "If you're doing two weeks on one week off, or you're doing three weeks on one week off or whatever it is, you have a six week focus of maybe deadlift or all posterior chain."

SIMS, MSC, PHD, is a forward-thinking international exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist who aims to revolutionize exercise nutrition and performance for women.She has directed research programs at Stanford, AUT University, and the University of Waikato, focusing on female athlete health and performance and pushing the dogma to improve research on all women.With the unique opportunities, Silicon Valley has to offer, during her tenure at Stanford, she had the opportunity to translate earlier research into consumer products and a science-based layperson's book (ROAR) written to explain sex differences in training and nutrition across the lifespan. Both the consumer products and the book challenged the existing dogma for women in exercise, nutrition, and health. This paradigm shift is the focus of her famous "Women Are Not Small Men” TEDx talk.

Angela presents a bitesize version of her conversation with John Assaraf, a leading high-performance success coach and behavioural neuroscience researcher, who discusses the main obstacle holding people back from achieving their best lives, which he identifies as ignorance. He explains that ignorance simply means not knowing, and it refers to the beliefs and patterns that individuals have developed over time. John also emphasises the power of the human brain and the potential for individuals to consciously rewire their beliefs and self-image KEY TAKEAWAYS Ignorance is the main obstacle holding people back from achieving their best lives. Beliefs are patterns created and reinforced over time, regardless of whether they are true or empowering. It is possible to deliberately and consciously create new belief systems and upgrade one's self-image. Lack of knowledge and skills is no longer an excuse with the availability of information through technology. Achieving one's fullest potential requires bridging the gap between what is known and what needs to be known and done. BEST MOMENTS "The number one thing holding people back is ignorance. Not knowing what they don't know." "We've become conditioned and hypnotized by what society expects us to achieve." "Belief is nothing more than a pattern that was created and reinforced over time." "The brain is agnostic to truth or fiction. Anything I learned to believe became reinforced."

Angela interviews Brandon Beacham, author of "The Golden Key" and host of the Positive Heads podcast, to delve into topics such as manifestation, spirituality, and consciousness. Brandon shares his journey from a conservative Christian upbringing to exploring metaphysical phenomena and the ultimate nature of reality. They discuss the importance of maintaining a positive mindset, embracing personal growth challenges, and living in resonance with the universe. Brandon also shares his experience with fasting and the benefits it brings to spiritual connection and overall health KEY TAKEAWAYS Trust the mystery and embrace the unknown. Stop trying to figure everything out and trust that everything is happening for your highest good. See everything as a reflection of yourself. Understand that everything and everyone you encounter is a mirror, showing you something about yourself. Practice self-love and release judgment. Recognise your worthiness and let go of comparing yourself to others. Approach challenges with grace and ease. Instead of resisting or judging difficult situations, embrace them as opportunities for growth and learning. BEST MOMENTS "You are as worthy of all the goodness that life has to offer. You are as worthy as any other being ever has been, could be, or will be." "You are the lead actor, actress star in your own private movie, like everything is the prop in your movie, like source is so infinite, there's enough universes for us all to be the star of a universe of a world." "You are so incredibly worthy. So tapping into and knowing that truth and always looking at it through the eyes of humility of like, okay, I'm here to grow and to serve." "Stop trying to figure it all out and resonate with these perspectives that we've shared today. Resonate with trusting the mystery, self-analysing, why is this happening for me? What can I learn from this? How can I grow?"

Angela interviews Dr. Mindy Pelz about the importance of fasting for women, particularly those in perimenopause. They discuss how hormonal changes during this stage of life can impact fasting and offer insights on how to optimise fasting for progesterone production. Dr. Pelz emphasises the need for women over 40 to adapt their lifestyle and diet to support their changing hormones, and shares her personal experience and provides practical tips on tracking cycles, adjusting carbohydrate intake, and listening to hunger cues KEY TAKEAWAYS Estrogen levels fluctuate during perimenopause, leading to symptoms such as hot flashes, changes in skin and hair, and increased insulin resistance. Women over 40 can benefit from fasting to help manage the hormonal changes associated with perimenopause. Tracking menstrual cycles and using hunger as a guide can help determine the optimal fasting and carbohydrate intake for progesterone production. Spotting during perimenopause is a sign that progesterone levels need support, and increasing glucose and nurturing oneself can help regulate the menstrual cycle. Adjusting fasting, carbohydrate intake, and exercise intensity based on hormonal fluctuations can help optimise hormone balance during perimenopause. BEST MOMENTS "The lifestyle you did at 30 is not going to necessarily work for you at 40. The diet and exercise plan that kept you in great shape at 35 doesn't have the same effect at 45." "In the beginning stages of our 40s, our estrogen is going up and down. So what that means to us is that we're gonna have days we feel completely normal, and we're gonna have days where we feel horrible." "When all of a sudden it became day 35, and it didn't appear that my cycle was coming. I used my hunger as insight into what I needed to do." "If you're spotting, that is a clear sign that progesterone needs your help. So let's bring carbs up and let's bring fasting down. And then you'll see that the cycle starts."

Angela is joined by Dr. Dale Bredesen, who discusses the prevalence of Alzheimer's disease and the difference between Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. He emphasises the importance of early detection and treatment, as Alzheimer's is a progressive disease that can be present for many years before symptoms appear. Dr. Bredesen explains the four phases of Alzheimer's and the potential for prevention and reversal of cognitive decline through lifestyle interventions. KEY TAKEAWAYS Alzheimer's disease is a common and devastating form of dementia that affects millions of people worldwide. Alzheimer's is characterized by a progressive decline in cognitive function, including memory loss, difficulty with language and communication, and impaired daily functioning. Early detection and intervention are crucial in managing Alzheimer's disease. The earlier the treatment is initiated, the better the chances of preventing or reversing cognitive decline. Lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, sleep, stress management, brain training, detoxification, and targeted supplements play a significant role in preventing and managing Alzheimer's disease. Hormone therapy, specifically bioidentical hormone replacement, may be beneficial for women experiencing menopause-related cognitive decline BEST MOMENTS "Your generation is the first generation that does not have to fear Alzheimer's." "We can pretty much prevent it or do early reversals in just about everyone." "We do see people even in late stages where we get some improvement, but they don't tend to come all the way back to normal." "Sleep is one of the ways that you stay sharp, that you improve your processing speed."

Angela shares her tips for navigating the holiday season and finding relaxation and enjoyment amidst the hustle and bustle, stressing the importance of being present and taking time for self-care and quality time with loved ones. Angela suggests practices such as spending time away from social media, engaging in morning rituals like stretching and meditation, practicing gratitude, and getting outside for walks. She also offers suggestions for quick and effective workouts, as well as strategies for maintaining healthy eating habits during the holiday season. KEY TAKEAWAYS Take the time to reflect on what happened in the past year, what you're proud of, and what you loved. This exercise can be powerful in setting the stage for goal setting in the future. During the holiday season, slow down and be present with your loved ones. Disconnect from social media and focus on connecting with those closest to you. Use the holiday season as an opportunity to indulge in self-care activities. This can include stretching, yoga, journaling, meditation, and practicing gratitude. Taking care of yourself can lead to positive mental health outcomes. Spend time outdoors, whether it's going for a morning walk or taking a stroll after a big meal. Being in nature and getting some fresh air can have positive effects on your health and well-being. BEST MOMENTS "I really think if you can give yourself permission... to really kind of focus on you, a bit more self-care, and enjoying time with family and friends." "Gratitude is highly correlated with positive mental health outcomes... it just is such a lovely, lovely thing to do." "Heart rate variability improves when we're doing things that we love, or things that are really in alignment with our highest values." "Reflecting on what you've been doing is a really important part of closing out that year."

Angela talks to Mia Johanna Dige from Lumen, about the concept of metabolic flexibility and how it impacts our overall health. Mia, a specialist in nutrition and metabolic health, explains that metabolic flexibility refers to the ability to efficiently switch between using fats and carbohydrates as fuel sources. She highlights the importance of metabolic health as a foundation for achieving various health goals and discusses how Lumen, a breath analysis device, can help individuals track their metabolic flexibility in real-time. Mia also delves into the role of stress, fasting, and exercise in optimising metabolic flexibility and shares insights on how to use the Lumen device to personalise nutrition and fasting strategies KEY TAKEAWAYS Metabolic flexibility is the ability to efficiently switch between using fats and carbohydrates as fuel sources. Metabolic health is the foundation for achieving various health goals, such as weight loss, fitness optimisation, and healthy aging. The Lumen device measures the carbon dioxide concentration in breath to determine the percentage of fat and carbohydrate burn, providing real-time information about fuel utilisation. Stress can negatively impact metabolic flexibility and fat burn potential, so managing stress levels is crucial for optimising metabolic health. The Lumen device can be used to optimise fasting by tracking fasting duration and identifying the ideal window for breaking the fast to avoid physiological stress and overeating BEST MOMENTS "Stress definitely has a huge impact on metabolic flexibility. Individuals in chronic stress or even acute stress are less likely to reach fat burn and more likely to be in carb burn." "If you fast too long, you risk overeating afterwards. It can have a knock-on effect on our hormones where cortisol is stealing away the building blocks needed for progesterone." "We want to optimise our hormonal health and incorporate intermittent fasting, but not put ourselves at risk of going into physiological stress. Lumen can help us find that balance." "The lumen device is a game changer for optimising fasting. It helps individuals track their fasts and make small changes to their fasting window based on their metabolic readings."

Angela talks to Dr Libby Weaver, about how her own beliefs about calorie restriction and intense exercise were challenged when she observed that some individuals were not losing body fat despite their efforts. This realisation led her to delve into the factors that influence the body's ability to burn or store fat. She highlights the role of the nervous system and stress hormones in this process, explaining how constantly elevated levels of adrenaline can impact digestion, fuel utilisation, and cravings for sweet foods KEY TAKEAWAYS The calorie equation is not the sole factor influencing body shape and size. Many people who restrict calories do not see significant changes in body fat or weight loss. The belief that intense exercise is necessary to maintain or achieve a certain body shape is ingrained in society, particularly among women. This mindset can lead to unhealthy habits and unrealistic expectations. Constantly elevated levels of adrenaline, primarily caused by caffeine and psychological stress, can have negative effects on the body. It can lead to compromised digestion, increased desire for sweet foods, and a shift in the body's preferred fuel source from fat to glucose. The stress response has three stages, with the first stage characterized by elevated adrenaline. This stage prepares the body for fight or flight and can create inflammatory compounds. BEST MOMENTS "We were taught that the calorie equation was the only thing that influenced body shape and size." "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." "We really are the first generation of people to have constantly, relentlessly elevated levels of adrenaline and it changes our chemistry." "So many people start their biochemistry being told that glucose is their most effective fuel and they gradually start to lose the ability to use their body fat as fuel."

Angela talks to Dr Chris Shade about the concept of longevity and the creation of the Longevity Wheel. The Longevity Wheel is a graphical representation of the key factors that contribute to longevity, including Nrf2 and AMPK activation, NAD optimization, sirtuin activation, telomere maintenance, senolytics, and the neuroendocrine system. Dr Shade explains how each of these factors plays a role in promoting longevity and discusses the importance of supplementation and lifestyle choices in optimising these pathways. The conversation also touches on the impact of genetics, the role of inflammation in aging, and the benefits of fasting and exercise. KEY TAKEAWAYS The Longevity Wheel is a graphical representation of the key factors that can affect longevity. It includes Nrf2 and AMPK at the top, followed by NAD, sirtuins, telomeres, senolytics, and the neuroendocrine system. These factors can be targeted through supplementation to promote a younger version of the body. NAD levels naturally decline with age, and this decline can be accelerated by inflammatory processes. Supplementing with NAD precursors, such as NMN or NR, can help maintain NAD levels and support mitochondrial function. It is important to balance NAD supplementation with adequate methyl donors to avoid potential side effects. Telomeres are protective caps at the ends of chromosomes that shorten with age. When telomeres become too short, cells enter a senescent state, characterized by inflammation and reduced cell growth. Senolytics, such as quercetin and fisetin, can help remove senescent cells, while maintaining optimal glutathione levels and Nrf2 activation can support telomere health. Fasting and exercise can stimulate autophagy, AMPK activation, and ketone production, which are beneficial for longevity. Intermittent fasting, especially during specific phases of the menstrual cycle for women, can optimise these processes. BEST MOMENTS "The AMPK charge has berberine and resveratrol and cinnamon, which are strong AMPK activators." "Fasting reboots the immune system. It reboots all kinds of stuff. Often, we want to be able to reverse everything without changing our diet, without doing something like fasting, but you need to do that." "You need a lot of methyl groups for those people. And then the more under stress you are, the more methyl groups you generally need." "Fasting stimulates all of this stuff. Fasting is so freaking good because fasting stimulates all of this stuff. Fasting reboots the immune system."

Angela presents a bitesize version of her conversation with Morgan T Nelson, in which they focus on the four pillars of success and how they can be used to achieve one's goals – aspects which include having a clear vision and outcome in mind, being absolutely clear on what you want and surrounding yourself with people who have similar goals, and taking massive action, aligning your beliefs and values with your goals and maintaining a positive attitude. KEY TAKEAWAYS Having a clear vision is crucial for success Before diving into any goals or strategies, it is important to know your desired outcome and have a clear vision of what you want to achieve. Surrounding yourself with people who have similar goals and aspirations can greatly impact your success. By being in the right environment and connecting with people who are also striving for success, you can learn from each other and support each other's growth. Whether it's through personal development, starting a business, or investing, finding the right vehicle to move you towards your goals is essential. It's important to identify the path or strategy that aligns with your vision and take action accordingly. Timing plays a crucial role in achieving success. Seeing your vision, believing in it, deciding on it, and taking action at the right time are all important factors. Visualisation and belief in your goals can help align your actions and attract the right opportunities. BEST MOMENTS "If you surround yourself with people that have a similar goal... you'll probably start to figure out a thing or two about how to better your own life as well." "All beliefs are completely made up... Why not believe in yourself?" "99% is a bitch and 100% is a breeze." "The third person... They just get up and they just change their sail. No stories, no questions, no complaining. The wind's not blowing my direction."

Angela interviews Chris from Timeline Nutrition about their product, Mitopure. They discuss the importance of mitochondrial health and how Mitopure, specifically urolithin A, can improve mitochondrial function and energy production. They delve into the effects of aging on mitochondrial health and how lifestyle factors, such as exercise and nutrition, play a role. Chris shares the results of their clinical studies, which show improvements in muscle strength, endurance, and skin health. They also touch on the potential cognitive benefits of urolithin A and the future research they are conducting KEY TAKEAWAYS Mitopure, a product developed by Timeline, contains urolithin A, which has been shown to improve mitochondrial health and energy production in cells. Mitochondrial health declines as we age, but lifestyle factors such as exercise and a healthy diet can help maintain and improve mitochondrial function. Clinical studies have demonstrated that taking urolithin A in the form of Mitopure can lead to improvements in muscle strength, endurance, and recovery, even in sedentary individuals. Urolithin A has also shown potential benefits for skin health, including reducing wrinkle depth and improving collagen production. BEST MOMENTS "We were able to see that they were improving their muscle strength without following an exercise regimen as well." "We saw an improvement in leg muscle strength that was statistically significant, about 10% over their baseline levels." "We were improving mitochondrial function when we started going into tissue, into cells that are comprising the skin."

Angela is joined by Annette Verpillot to discuss the fascinating connection between posture, the brain, and overall health. She explains how our ability to fight gravity impacts our energy levels, longevity, and even blood pressure. Annette emphasises the importance of proper posture and its impact on the nervous system, as well as the role of the feet, jaw, and eyes in maintaining good posture. She also shares insights on how to address unconscious posture habits and offers solutions for improving posture through sensory stimulation KEY TAKEAWAYS Posture plays a crucial role in our overall health and longevity. The way we fight gravity can impact our energy levels, blood pressure, and even lead to chronic inflammation and stress. Proper posture involves the synergy between our feet, eyes, and vestibular system. Imbalances in these areas can lead to postural issues and pain. Therapeutic insoles can be used to stimulate the feet and improve balance and posture. These insoles use a specific frequency to optimise sensory input and reduce postural oscillations. Tongue posture is essential for proper jaw development and breathing. The tongue should be positioned just behind the front teeth and flat on the palate to promote optimal growth and prevent dental issues. BEST MOMENTS "The way we fight gravity dictates our health and longevity." "Gravity is a driving force that is going to build our brains." "If the one factor of fighting gravity is already off balance before we begin our day, then we just end up wearing ourselves out prematurely." "Anything that's going to promote the movement of the foot, I'm a big advocate of."

Angela presents a bitesize version of her fascinating interview with Dr Tara Swart, in which they discuss the concept of manifesting and the role of vibrational energy in the process. They explore the idea that raising one's vibrational energy is crucial for manifestation, with a focus on positive expectancy and cultivating an abundant mindset. KEY TAKEAWAYS The law of vibration is considered to be more important than the law of attraction in manifesting. Raising one's vibrational energy is crucial in this process. Positive expectancy and having an abundant mindset are key factors in raising one's vibration. Focusing on the positives and framing oneself for an abundant mindset can help in manifesting desired outcomes. Fear, sadness, and shame are associated with a lower vibrational state, while love, trust, and excitement are associated with a higher vibrational state. Shifting from fear to love and trust can have a positive impact on manifesting. Instead of setting big New Year's resolutions, it is more effective to build small habits gradually throughout the year. By starting with small steps and gradually increasing them, one can achieve significant progress in various areas, such as weight loss or financial goals. BEST MOMENTS "I prefer to talk about making my mindset more abundant... because that makes me feel like I've got more agency." "Do you focus more on the positives?... That's framing yourself for an abundant mindset." "Move yourself from fear and sadness and shame to love and trust and excitement." - "Just pick the smallest thing that you can do to move yourself towards that and then build it up in four stages over the year."

Angela talks to Renae Fieck about optimising high performance for women, including the importance of understanding and working with the menstrual cycle to enhance productivity, creativity, and overall well-being. They explore the different phases of the cycle, such as the recharge phase, the action phase, and the admin phase, and how each phase affects energy levels, focus, and motivation. They also touch on the interplay between hormones, circadian rhythms, and productivity. KEY TAKEAWAYS Tracking your menstrual cycle and being aware of the different phases can help optimise your performance and productivity. It's important to honour your body's natural rhythms and adjust your tasks and activities accordingly. Pay attention to your energy levels throughout the day and schedule your most important tasks during times when you feel most energised and focused. Blocking off time in your calendar for the luteal and menstrual phases can help you prioritise rest and recovery during those times. Taking care of your overall health, including nutrition and exercise, can support your energy levels and performance throughout your menstrual cycle. BEST MOMENTS "We have estrogen in the first half of the month and estrogen is that hormone that kind of makes us feel like sharp and clear and ready to produce and go and push hard." "It's as simple as just making that micro shift, like the awareness that you talk about, just bringing the awareness to where we are throughout our phases." "It's about creating this rhythm throughout the entire month versus feeling like we have to just keep pushing and allowing ourselves that permission, like you talked about, and letting go of the guilt." "So those are kind of like an overview of the four phases and really how we kind of match them up with our productivity and our work." "We have these rhythms throughout the day. We have the rhythms through the month with our menstrual cycle. We even have seasonal rhythms” VALUABLE RESOURCES Join The High Performance Health Community Take My Biohacking Quiz and Get A Free Personalised Report - www.yourtotalhealthcheck.comBecome an Insider of The Female Biohacker Collective and have Angela as Your Health Coach in Your Pocket - www.femalebiohacker.comFree Fasting Guide - www.angelafosterperformance.com/fastingPodcast Shownotes - www.angelafosterperformance.com/podcasts ABOUT THE GUEST Renae is a mom of 3 and occupational therapist.

Angela interviews Dr. Beth McDougal about the importance of mitochondrial health and its impact on overall well-being. They discuss various therapies and biohacking techniques that can optimise mitochondrial function, such as red light therapy and pulsed electromagnetic field therapies. Dr. McDougal explains how these treatments can improve energy production within cells, leading to better cellular health and overall vitality. KEY TAKEAWAYS Mitochondria are the energy powerhouses of our cells and play a crucial role in our overall health and well-being. Red light therapy can up-regulate mitochondrial function by unblocking enzymes and increasing energy production within cells. Pulsed electromagnetic field therapies can help charge cell membranes and improve overall cellular health. Resonance biofeedback therapy can identify and correct aberrant energetic signatures in the body, promoting healing and balance. BEST MOMENTS "When the energy production goes up within the cell, then the cellular health improves, the person's health improves." "The red light and near infrared light wavelengths will unblock that enzyme liberate it again, so that it can function more fully." "We have a unique energetic signature that as we go through life can become contaminated by foreign energetic signatures that are not harmonious with our bodies." "We're working on all levels...treating infections, balancing hormones, improving the microbiome, evaluating the person's diet, and regulating mitochondrial function."

Angela welcomes Alisa Vitti, the founder of Flow Living, who discusses the importance of optimising women's hormones and the impact it has on their overall health and well-being. Alisa shares insights from her 20 years of experience in this field, highlighting the positive shift in the conversation around women's hormones and the growing awareness of the need to take action. She also discusses the detrimental effects of stress on women's hormones and the accelerated aging process many women experience, providing practical tips on nutrition, including the importance of managing blood glucose levels and the impact of alcohol on hormonal health KEY TAKEAWAYS Women are often asked to take on too much without adequate compensation or support, leading to increased stress levels. This stress can have a negative impact on hormones, particularly cortisol and progesterone, and contribute to accelerated ovarian aging. Synthetic birth control is not a cure for hormonal issues such as PCOS, endometriosis, or fibroids. It is a temporary band-aid that can disrupt micronutrient balance and have long-term negative effects on hormonal health. Nutrition plays a crucial role in optimising hormonal health and longevity. Cutting out alcohol, managing blood glucose levels, and lifting heavy weights are key factors in supporting hormonal balance and overall health. Cycle syncing, which involves aligning nutrition, fitness, and productivity with the different phases of the menstrual cycle, can help women optimise their hormonal health and alleviate symptoms. It is important to listen to your body and make choices based on how you feel rather than striving for perfection. BEST MOMENTS "Women are going through a hormonal aging process much more rapidly than they should be, and that's across the board." "Synthetic birth control is not a cure for your PCOS, for your endometriosis, for your PMDD, for your fibroids. It's not a cure at all in any way." "You really just want to be in this constant curiosity, experimentation state. This is not about being perfect and getting it right at all."

Angela presents a bitesize alongside Alissa Vitti, who discusses key nutrition tips and practices for promoting longevity and overall health, particularly for women over the age of 45. They look at the negative effects of alcohol on aging and disease risk, encouraging women to eliminate it from their diets, plus the importance of managing blood glucose levels is also highlighted, with the suggestion of wearing a continuous glucose monitor to understand individual metabolic responses to different foods KEY TAKEAWAYS Alcohol is not recommended for women over 45 due to its negative effects on aging and increased risk for diseases. Managing blood glucose levels is important for stable moods, energy, and overall hormonal health in women over 45. Strength training, particularly lifting heavy weights, is crucial for maintaining muscle mass and bone density as women age.

Angela is joined by Akash Vaghela, the founder of RNT Fitness, a body composition and transformation program. They discuss the importance of achieving sustainable results and the difference between being in the best shape of your life versus the best shape for life. Akash stresses the need for a mindset shift and behaviour change in order to maintain long-term success, and delves into the role of nutrition and training in body composition goals, highlighting the significance of finding a balance that works for each individual. Akash also shares his own plant-based meal plan and offers insights on maintaining a healthy lifestyle KEY TAKEAWAYS The key to long-term success in maintaining body composition results is to rewire your identity and change your behaviour and mindset. Many people struggle to maintain their results because they revert back to their old way of living and fall into old habits. It is important to find a balance between satiety and enjoyment when it comes to nutrition, and focusing on a predominantly plant-based diet can help with this. Consistency in training is crucial for maintaining body composition results, and finding a form of exercise that you enjoy and can commit to is key. BEST MOMENTS "The physical is the vehicle...if you do a physical transformation, it serves as a vehicle to do things you never thought possible in all areas of your life." "The best shape of your life is an unsustainable place to get to...your shape for life is a sweet spot where you feel, look, and perform your best." "I think nutrition is the biggest reason why people don't achieve their body composition goals...emotional eating and stress eating are the biggest problems." "The best thing people can do for satiety is follow a predominantly plant-based diet...high volume, nutrient-dense foods on your plate."

Angela presents a bitesize alongside Neil Paulvin, in which they discuss the benefits of mitochondrial peptides, specifically MOTC, SS31, and Eumannan. These peptides work on reading frames within the mitochondria, initially thought to be beneficial for aging and mitochondrial health, but now linked to other advantages. However, availability of these peptides varies by country, with the US having more accessibility compared to the UK. KEY TAKEAWAYS MOTC, SS31, and Eumannin are mitochondrial peptides that have been linked to various health benefits, including anti-aging, improved mitochondrial health, increased energy, and anti-inflammatory effects. MOTC works on AMPK, an energy chemical hormone in the body, and can simulate exercise, making it beneficial for workouts. It also improves insulin sensitivity and induces mitochondrial biogenesis. SS31 is a potent antioxidant and has shown potential in improving heart function and helping patients with heart failure. It may also be used for tendinopathy and tendinitis. Eumannin is less studied compared to MOTC and SS31 but has shown potential benefits for osteoporosis, muscle building, infertility, and PCOS. BEST MOMENTS "MOTC does a lot of things… It's kind of like getting a workout without doing it." "SS31… has many more studies… It's really been shown to help improve heart function." "Peptides are very hard to find… I've had patients who come here on trips will get a vial when they went because it's legal here versus where they're coming from."

Angela is joined by Maite Brines von Melle, an expert in helping people form new habits in the area of health and wellness. They discuss various topics related to optimising health and longevity, including the importance of NAD, the energy molecule, and its role in the body's energy cycle and DNA repair. They also explore the interplay between women's hormones and NAD metabolism, as well as the impact of aging on the body and strategies for living a healthier life. Additionally, Angela and Maite delve into the significance of liver health, the benefits of supplements like glutathione and chlorella for detoxification, and the introduction of a new product called Glynac Plus, which combines glycine, NAC, and calcium alpha-glutarate to support blood sugar regulation and longevity KEY TAKEAWAYS The decline in NAD levels and estrogen during menopause can have a significant impact on women's health, including energy levels, brain health, heart health, bone health, and muscle health. The Glynac Plus supplement combines glycine, NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine), and calcium alpha-glutarate to support blood sugar regulation, liver health, respiratory health, and muscle and collagen building. The Cell Shield supplement contains a patented form of glutathione, liposomal vitamin C, chlorella, and other ingredients to support detoxification, reduce inflammation, and promote overall liver health. Blood sugar management is crucial for longevity and can be supported through supplements like GD-AID, which contains dihydroberberine, African seeds of paradise, chromium, Ceylon cinnamon, and bitter melon fruit extract. Proper blood sugar control can help prevent metabolic diseases and reduce inflammation in the body. BEST MOMENTS "NAD is absolutely crucial to stay healthy, really. It's important for energy levels, DNA repair, and lowering inflammation in the body." "Glynac Plus is a powerful longevity cocktail that supports healthy aging, blood sugar regulation, and muscle health." "Dihydroberberine in GD-AID is a safer option than metformin for blood sugar regulation, without causing gastric distress." "Managing blood sugar and NAD levels are crucial for perimenopausal and menopausal women to transition to the next phase of life."

Angela presents a bitesize biohack from the past featuring Roxanne Saffie, in which they discuss the importance of creating a future self and cultivating a strong self-image and identity. They provide three powerful questions that listeners can journal off to anchor themselves in their desired identity, emphasising the importance of clarity and making choices in alignment with one's values. TAKEAWAYS One of the first steps in creating a future self-image and identity is to identify your core values. This requires being honest with yourself and assessing whether your behaviours align with those values. Another important question to ask yourself is what you truly want. It's essential not to limit yourself and to approach this question without judgment. Understanding your core desires can help guide your decisions and actions. A key question to ask is how you are willing to show up every day to create the life you truly want to experience. This involves determining what you are willing to say yes to and what you are willing to say no to. Saying no is often more important than saying yes. It's easy to be overwhelmed by numerous opportunities and obligations, but filtering decisions through your core values can help you make clear choices. BEST MOMENTS "There are no shoulds that live in the heart. The heart doesn't mess around. It's a sharp yes or a sharp no." "Get into the relationship with your heart because the volume goes up and then that sharp yes and that sharp no becomes easier to operate from." "Your heart is the truth. The more you listen to your heart, the more you are getting dialled into your authentic self." "Saying no is so much more important than saying yes, because we're offered so many things all the time."

Angela is joined by sleep optimisation expert, Mollie Eastman, who shares her personal journey of experiencing a sleep breakdown and how it led her to delve into the world of sleep. She discusses the common misconceptions and labels people have about their sleep, such as being a "bad sleeper" or a "night owl." , and focusses upon the fact that sleep is a skill that can be improved and optimised. Mollie also explains the importance of sleep duration and the ideal range of seven to nine hours, highlighting the need to focus on sleep quality, including factors like sleep fragmentation and wake-ups during the night, providing insights into the causes of wake-ups during sleep and suggesting strategies to improve sleep regularity and alignment with circadian rhythms. KEY TAKEAWAYS Consistency in sleep schedule is crucial for optimising sleep quality. Aim to wake up at the same time every day, plus or minus 30 minutes, to strengthen your circadian rhythm. Wake-ups during the night are normal, but prolonged periods of wakefulness can indicate underlying sleep disorders such as sleep apnea. If you experience frequent wake-ups, it is important to get tested and seek appropriate treatment. Consumer-grade wearables, including the Oura Ring, provide less accurate metrics for sleep stages compared to brain-based wearables. While they can give a general idea of sleep quality, it is important not to rely solely on these devices for accurate sleep stage information. Light exposure plays a significant role in regulating our circadian rhythm. Aligning your exposure to natural light throughout the day can help regulate your sleep-wake cycle. This includes avoiding bright light exposure in the evening and ensuring exposure to natural light during the day. BEST MOMENTS "So what the do nothing method really looks like is that you are continuing to wake up at around your same wake up time." "And this is very different with shift workers. They've got a whole other way of managing things." "Hand and wrist-based trackers are making their best guess as it relates to sleep stages." "It is normal to have a wake up or two throughout the course of the night. It starts to be problematic when we start to think about how long we are now awake."

Sleep Is A Skill is a company that optimizes people’s sleep through a unique blend of technology, accountability, and behavioral change. After navigating insomnia while traveling internationally, she created what she couldn’t find - a place to go to learn the skill set of sleep. With a background in behavioral change from The Nonverbal Group, she became fascinated with chronobiology and its practical application to sleep and our overall experience of life. Knowing the difference between a life with sleep and without, she’s now dedicated her life to sharing the forgotten skill set of sleep. In the spirit of that goal, she has created the #2 sleep podcast, written a popular weekly sleep newsletter for over five years, partnered with luxury hotels & lifestyle brands, coached the world’s top poker players, and has appeared on over 150 podcasts. ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster is an award winning Nutritionist, Health & Performance Coach, Speaker and Host of the High Performance Health podcast.

Angela discusses the invisible barrier that may be preventing individuals from seeing results in their fitness and nutrition efforts, explaining how stress, particularly high cortisol levels, can hinder weight loss and body composition goals. Angela also focusses on the importance of managing stress and finding balance in order to optimise health and performance, touching on topics such as heart rate variability, nutrition strategies, and the impact of stress on various aspects of well-being KEY TAKEAWAYS Managing stress is crucial for achieving fitness and nutrition goals. High levels of stress can lead to elevated cortisol levels, which can hinder weight loss and body composition goals. Adherence is key. Going on overly restrictive diets can be counterproductive and lead to cravings and rebound weight gain. It's important to create a calorie deficit through a combination of increased movement, exercise, and moderate calorie reduction. Nutrient density is important for overall health and weight management. Focusing on consuming a variety of nutrient-dense foods, such as vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, and healthy fats, can support optimal health and help reduce cravings. Prioritising goals and values and allocating energy accordingly can help prevent burnout and maintain overall well-being. It's important to allocate energy to different areas of life, including business/personal success, relationships, fitness, and recovery. BEST MOMENTS "When you're stressed, it can have so many factors on the way your physiology is operating. So one of the key things is stress is tightly linked and the hormone cortisol with your blood sugar regulation." "What we need to do is to try to address the stress. Modern life is inherently stressful, but what we can do is start to bring in practices that are going to help us moderate that stress." "That's why I'm not a big fan of going too restrictive, definitely not for too long. It down-regulates things that you don't want it to down-regulate, that you then feel like you're not enjoying life as much, because it's not much fun" ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster is an award winning Nutritionist, Health & Performance Coach, Speaker and Host of the High Performance Health podcast.

Angela talks to Christa Biegler, an expert in helping women with burnout and adrenal function. They discuss the importance of thyroid health and its connection to adrenal and sex hormone function, with Christa sharing her own journey of experiencing skin outbreaks and gut issues, which led her to discover the impact of stress on her thyroid and adrenal function. The show also delves into the symptoms of thyroid dysfunction, such as fatigue, hair loss, and cold intolerance, focussing on the significance of mineral balance, particularly potassium and sodium, in supporting optimal thyroid function KEY TAKEAWAYS Thyroid health is crucial for overall well-being and metabolism. Symptoms of thyroid issues include fatigue, hair loss, feeling cold, and sluggish motility. Adrenal function plays a significant role in thyroid health. When cortisol levels are elevated due to stress, it can lead to potassium depletion, which affects digestion, thyroid function, and energy levels. Fasting and under-nourishing the body can worsen adrenal and thyroid function. It is important to prioritise nourishing foods and avoid extreme fasting practices, especially if already depleted. Adding mineral-rich foods to the diet, such as potatoes with skin, avocados, and bananas, can help replenish potassium levels and support overall mineral balance. Lifestyle behaviours that promote balance and support adrenal, sex hormone, and thyroid function include avoiding excessive stress, getting adequate sleep, managing inflammation, and incorporating holistic practices like mindfulness and self-care. BEST MOMENTS "So many of our issues are just hung up in control of wanting to control every outcome, everything” "If you're fluctuating more than five pounds or two, two and a half kilos of body weight over a couple of days, that's inflammatory water weight that can be related to a bigger picture of inflammation." "I think there's a mineral issue. And also from an energetic perspective, sometimes it's indicative that you're holding onto things that you need to let go of the most."

Angela presents a special episode in which she discusses the changes that occur in women's bodies during perimenopause and menopause, focussing on the way women store fat shifts, with a transition from storing fat around the hips and thighs to storing more around the abdominal area. Angela stresses the importance of proper nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress management in combating these changes, as well as the potential benefits of hormone therapy, such as estrogen and progesterone, for bone density and cognitive function. TAKEAWAYS The distribution of body fat changes in women as they go through perimenopause and menopause. Initially, women tend to store fat around the hips and upper thighs, but as they approach menopause, fat distribution shifts to the abdominal area, which can be more risky due to the presence of visceral fat. To combat changes in body fat distribution during perimenopause, it is important to focus on the right nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress management. Hormone therapy, such as estrogen and progesterone, can be helpful for bone density and brain fog, but it is not a magic solution. Overall lifestyle factors play a significant role in reducing body fat effectively. Progesterone production can be affected during perimenopause due to anovulatory cycles, where ovulation does not occur. This can result in lower progesterone levels and potential symptoms of estrogen dominance. Natural ways to support progesterone production include incorporating maca into the diet (unless there are thyroid issues) and managing stress to maintain good adrenal function BEST MOMENTS "The distribution of that body fat is changing… So how do you combat that? It's going to be through the right nutrition and the right exercise and managing sleep and stress." "Taking hormones, like hormone therapy in terms of estrogen and progesterone, is super helpful for bone density and brain fog, but it's not like a magic elixir." "Your microbiome, contained within our gut, is a mixture of healthy and less healthy gut bacteria… There is a specific group of bacteria that can cause or release something called beta glucuronidase." "If you're in perimenopause and you're not ovulating every single month, you're producing less progesterone. This can make you more prone to things like anxiety and symptoms of estrogen dominance."
