High Performance Health

In this week's episode, Angela talks to Simon Alexander Ong, a personal development entrepreneur, about how you can live an extraordinary life and become the hero of your own journey by transforming your energy and awakening your imagination to what is truly possible. KEY TAKEAWAYS We will always face setbacks and challenges in life. The real measure of how successful we become is how we choose to respond to them. When we create an amazing life path for ourselves we are actually helping others. We are inspiring them to want to do the same, and thereby better themselves. When we procrastinate or have lots of time on our hands, we fall into the trap of working. In reality, if we create boundaries, we form habits and work around them, meaning that our time is better utilised. BEST MOMENTS 'Even the best laid plans can often deviate' 'When we become the hero of our own journey, it doesn't just help us - it actually helps other people' 'Yes it's good to work, but we've got to be careful not to overwork' 'You may not always see it in the moment, but when you look back you'll realise that season gave you exactly what you needed at that moment' VALUABLE RESOURCES 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 Thanks to our Sponsor: Bon Charge - Get 20% off at www.boncharge.com/Angela ABOUT THE GUEST Simon Alexander Ong is a personal development entrepreneur, coach and public speaker.

We all know how to fast, but there are different rules for women and men. In this episode, Angela is joined once more by Dr Mindy Pelz who talks about the specific ways we should be using fasting as a tool, and optimising our longevity, hormone balance and energy levels. KEY TAKEAWAYS Fasting works because we are tapping into a whole new system of energy generation and metabolism. It's remarkable that it's taken so long for this to become a better known fact. As oestrogen drops, we become more insulin resistant, which is one of the main reasons why women over forty in particular, must know how to fast effectively. A twenty four hour fast can kill bacteria in the small intestine. When we reintroduce food, there's less there to agitate and cause bloating. If you are spotting, then it's a clear sign that progesterone needs your help. Progesterone needs to peak at a certain level in order for the whole uterine lining to shed. BEST MOMENTS 'You're tapping into a whole other energy system' 'I can't believe we've gone this long in human existence without this conversation' 'Within twenty four hours, the gut can start to repair' 'These are the conversations we need to have' VALUABLE RESOURCES 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 Thanks to our Sponsor: Bon Charge - Get 20% off at www.boncharge.com/Angela Dr Mindy Pelz website ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster is an award winning Nutritionist, Health & Performance Coach, Speaker and Host of the High Performance Health podcast.

In a preview of the upcoming interview, Angela shares a bitesize biohack courtesy of Dr Mindy Pelz, in which she discusses the changes we experience during perimenopause and how we can optimise our fasting schedule to help with factors such as inflammation, insulin resistance and brain fog KEY TAKEAWAYS The first thing to realise when you're a perimenopausal woman, is that the lifestyle we lived during our thirties is not going to work when we reach later years. When we reach our forties and see that our ovary hormones are beginning to retire, we must start to examine our lifestyle and adjust accordingly. Our estrogen goes up and down, and means that we will have days where we feel normal and days where we feel terrible.

Angela talks to Dr. Andy Galpin about improving health span alongside longevity, focusing specifically on women's health, including managing sleep, stress, nutrition and how physical activity is of vital importance. They also discuss the nuances of optimising fitness routines for women, taking into account the menstrual cycle and challenges during perimenopause and menopause. KEY TAKEAWAYS It is vital to manage sleep, stress, nutrition, and physical activity. By prioritising these key areas, we can set ourselves up for optimal health and longevity. Spending time in nature or engaging in sports and activities that require reacting to external stimuli can help maintain balance over time. The next time you're feeling stuck in your routine, consider taking a hike or trying out a new sport. Use subjective and objective measures: When assessing your health and well-being, it's important to use both subjective and objective measures. Dr. Galpin suggests using at least two of each to get a more comprehensive understanding of your overall health. What works for one person may not work for everyone. It's important to try new things and stick to the ones that bring you results. BEST MOMENTS 'You want to hit the big markers' 'People who spend too much time at max heart rate or close to that are going to have issues' 'What are the tasks my body needs to do to maximise longevity?'

Angela shares a brief biohack from an upcoming episode with Dr Andy Galpin, in which he shares specific considerations we should be looking at when it comes to optimising longevity, and for balancing hormonal health. KEY TAKEAWAYS In terms of tasks we can perform to maximise longevity, look to exercise without breaks for at least 45 minutes at any pace, so long as movement is perpetual. Your heart rate needs to be able to rise, sustained, and then brought back down. Strength is also required in not just grip strength but lower body in general.

Dhruvin Patel is an optometrist and founder of Ocushield, pioneering blight filtering technology so as to improve eye health and sleep, leading to a more fulfilling life in general. Dhruvin talks to Angela about the choices we can make on a daily basis to ensure that we are not slowly and insidiously destroying our eyes and our health, and the profound long term effects that can result if we do not begin to take better care. KEY TAKEAWAYS With the rise of computer working, many have failed to consider the long term damage being done by blue light emitted through our displays. Ocushield technology can eliminate this risk. UV protection is vital, even in places such as the UK where it's generally overcast. Just because it's cloudy, doesn't mean that plentiful UV light is not still being emitted. Even though we may believe that we can see very well, weaker eyes are propped up by healthy ones, so ill effects may be masked until it's too late. From a blue light perspective, it's wise to begin now in the implementation of filtering technology in schools, or we may be facing a health crisis en masse in the future. BEST MOMENTS 'Many of us are not as aware as we should be about the things we do on a daily basis that may be damaging our eyes' 'UV light can contribute towards cataracts' 'I really want to help people - to make an impact' 'On average, children are using screens for upwards of six hours per day!'

Currently deploying a newly developed online eye screening test, accessible for the flexible workforce via a web URL. Having received a development grant from City University of London, I built Ocushield into an internationally distributed, MHRA/FDA medically registered product that transformed hundreds of thousands of peoples eye health and quality of life. From humble beginnings to building Ocushield, getting featured on Dragons' Den (and winning over Peter Jones & Tej Lalvani in the process), Forbes, The Guardian & USA Today - talking about eye health and blue light, it’s been an entrepreneurial journey full of ups and downs and yes a lot of lessons and joys. At Ocushield, we have helped over 300,000 eyes in over 70 countries with our products to protect their eyes. We envision a world aware of eye health in the times of the booming digitisation and the accompanying eye strain thus helping people develop healthier eyes and happier lives.

From her interview with Jim Steele about the value of persistence and achieving goals, Angela presents a bitesize biohack designed to push you to continue when you're on the path towards a greater aim, and how to harness the power of persistence in doing so. KEY TAKEAWAYS It's vital that you receive some kind of payoff as you make progress in anything, so as to motivate you to keep on pushing onwards. You must have a certain belief system in the ability to reach your end goal. If the task is impossible to begin with, and we believe that, it's too tempting to stop.

Concentrating on optimal adrenal health can lead to some remarkable health benefits, including regaining energy levels. In this episode, Angela is in discussion with The Thyroid Pharmacist, Dr Izabella Wentz, who talks about her latest book 'The Adrenal Transformation Protocol', resetting the body's response through targeted safety signals, and the work she has successfully completed with over 3000 individuals to overcome bran fog, fatigue, irritability, sleep issues and anxiety. KEY TAKEAWAYS If you have coeliac disease and Hashimoto's, if you remove gluten from your diet, in some cases you can reverse the subclinical hypothyroidism and rid yourself of thyroid antibodies. Genetic predisposition, leaky gut and a trigger are the three things that must have manifested for an auto-immune condition to be present. When people are under a chronic stress response, their alignment with the circadian rhythm suffers greatly, and cortisol production might increase as a result. People starting off on their journey are wise to eliminate problematic foods through elimination diets of food sensitivity tests. BEST MOMENTS 'I wanted to know if there was anything I could do to make myself feel better' 'It's remarkable what an effect the environment can have upon our gene expression' 'Even without having coeliac disease, they feel better off gluten' 'I meet people where they are and try to give them strategies' VALUABLE RESOURCES 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 Thanks to our Sponsor: Bon Charge - Get 20% off at www.boncharge.com/Angela Dr Izabella Wentz - www.thyoidpharmacist.com/media ABOUT THE GUEST Dr. Izabella Wentz is a compassionate, innovative, solution-focused integrative pharmacist dedicated to finding the root causes of chronic health conditions. Her passion stems from her own diagnosis with Hashimoto's thyroiditis in 2009, following a decade of debilitating symptoms. As an accomplished author, Dr. Wentz has written several best-selling books, including the New York Times best-seller "Hashimoto's Thyroiditis: Lifestyle Interventions for Finding and Treating the Root Cause," the protocol-based #1 New York Times best-seller "Hashimoto's Protocol: A 90-Day Plan for Reversing Thyroid Symptoms and Getting Your Life Back," and the Wall Street Journal Bestseller "Hashimoto's Food Pharmacology: Nutrition Protocols and Healing Recipes to Take Charge of Your Thyroid Health." Her latest book, "The Adrenal Transformation Protocol," is set to be released on April 18th, 2023. The book focuses on resetting the body's stress response through targeted safety signals and features a 4-week program that has already helped over 3,500 individuals. The program has an impressive success rate, with over 80% of participants improving their brain fog, fatigue, anxiety, irritability, sleep issues, and libido.

In this bitesized preview, Dr Wentz discusses the link between adrenal health and thyroid function. KEY TAKEAWAYS When people are under a chronic stress response, their alignment with the circadian rhythm suffers greatly, and cortisol production might increase as a result.

Most of us want to be in good shape and improve our health span, not just our life span. In this episode, Angela talks to dietician and science educator, Holly Baxter, about the most effective ways in which you can get lean, achieve optimal health levels, and remain vibrantly full of energy in a way that is the most beneficial for your body and mind, and why excessive cardio might actually be holding you back. KEY TAKEAWAYS If we engage in cardio too regularly, and carry a calorie deficit, it can negatively impact the energy available for muscle recovery when we need it most. The best way to increase lean body mass and reduce body fat is through incorporating a high protein diet and moderating caloric intake. The latest research into fat loss seems to suggest that there are few advantages in diets that are high in carbohydrates and low in fat vs diets that are high in fat and low in carbohydrates. Everyone is unique and has a bespoke set of requirements. The best coach or mentor will always prescribe an approach based on the individual's needs, and not a one-size-fits-all programme, as these rarely work. BEST MOMENTS 'I definitely had a strong focus on how to optimise my physique for performance' 'It's important to recognise that everybody has a unique preference for different foods' 'What is going to govern the rate of weight loss is the degree of calorie deficit' 'You've got to learn about your client and meet them where they are at' VALUABLE RESOURCES 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 Thanks to our Sponsor: Bon Charge - Get 20% off at www.boncharge.com/Angela ABOUT THE GUEST Holly Baxter is a Dietitian and Science Educator that has been involved in the health and fitness industry for some 13 + years, where much of this time has been dedicated to providing her clients and followers around the world, with evidenced-based education, and to putting up the good fight against the many misconceptions surrounding food, nutrition, and exercise.

Skin is an integral part of any high performance strategy, and with this in mind, Angela welcomes to the show this week, Rachel Varga, an international speaker and a five-time academically published award-winning author in the field of regenerative and aesthetic nursing. Rachel discusses the ways in which we can biohack our way to healthy skin, the secrets of anti-aging, and how we can look and feel younger by embracing natural approaches. KEY TAKEAWAYS Ensure you're using products that are free of certain toxins such as sulphates and artificial dyes. Also avoid substances that have been tested on animals. The approach to changing up our product usage applies not just to the products we put directly onto the skin, but also a ore holistic range, such as soaps, cleaning products and detergents that have contact directly with us. Blood flow is essential to having good skin. It carries oxygen and nutrients to the tissues, and also detoxes, carrying away metabolic waste products. Many clinics are using counterfeit or low-quality lasers in order to perform skin procedures. Its always worth researching not just the specialists you hoe to visit, but the equipment they use. BEST MOMENTS 'I'm a big fan of using pregnancy-safe, kid-safe products on myself' 'Skin cancer cells can leech into the body and create other issues' 'I would burn in about ten to fifteen minutes' 'If you want good skin you have to have good blood flow' EPISODE RESOURCES Visit www.younggoose.com and code ANGELAFOSTER20 to save 20% off your first order Use the code AngelaFoster15 for 15% off of a One on One Skin and Rejuvenation Consultation with Rachel Varga at https://rachelvarga.ca Use the code AngelaFoster15 for 15% off of all skin care, hair care, dermal rollers and hair/skin/nail supplements at https://rachelvarga.ca VALUABLE RESOURCES 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 Thanks to our Sponsor: Bon Charge - Get 20% off at www.boncharge.com/Angela ABOUT THE GUEST Rachel Varga BScN, RN, CANS is a Double Board Certified Aesthetic Nurse Specialist since 2011 with over 20,000 procedures performed, host of a top 20 podcast The Rachel Varga Podcast, an international clinical trainer for other Physicians and Nurses, celebrity skin expert featured by Dave Asprey, JJ Virgin and more!

Everyone wants to burn more fat and stay healthier, but what's the best way to go about it? In this short, sharp biohack episode, Angela flies solo to tell you about three ways to dynamically reduce your body fat and set yourself up for a leaner life in general. KEY TAKEAWAYS We can often confuse our minds and bodies with a variety of diets, and get caught up in copying the success of others. We need to remember that certain diets don't work for everyone. A great way to add protein into your first meal of the day is to add greek yoghurt with a small handful of almonds and raspberries or blueberries. Look for ways to bring more movement into your day, even if it's just getting up more regularly. At places such as work, set small alarms and make sure you're doing something to raise your heart rate.

Angela welcomes Dr Jolene Brighten back to the show to discuss her amazing new book 'Is This Normal? Judgment-Free Straight Talk About Your Body'. Dr Jolene also talks about sex, hormones, periods, and all things women's health. KEY TAKEAWAYS Fundamentally, women should all be taught the basics about how our bodies work, and how we can keep on top of our health and wellbeing. If our periods are so painful and uncomfortable that we are being forced to rearrange plans and our routines, then we should take it as a signal that things are not normal. Our bodies are naturally looking to procreate and create babies even if mentally we are not on the same page. Even though we do not wish to engage in fertility, your body will still set itself up physically to do so as this is the optimal health position. Mitochondria doesn't just ready our bodies for fertility by keeping our ovaries young. It also helps with other areas of our physiology, and can play a huge part in keeping dementia at bay. BEST MOMENTS 'Never should you ever find yourself in a position where you don't have the basics you need about your body' 'The way most people learn is by going through it and actually doing it' 'These are things we're told are normal, but they're really early signs that there's an issue going on' 'Mitochondria is the power house to your cells' EPISODE RESOURCES Dr Jolene's Book, 'Is This Normal?

How can we take control of our brains so as to achieve any goal we desire? John Assaraf will be known to most people through his starring role in 'The Secret', as well as his series of neuroscience-based programs, books and consultancy work. In this episode, he joins Angela to talk about how we can train our brains and reprogram our way of thinking in order to maximise the gains we can make each day. KEY TAKEAWAYS Society is gradually conditioning us to use less of our brains, by religiously mapping out what life should look like. We are endlessly complicated beings and our minds are able to achieve far more. It's not enough to think that if we believe then we will achieve. We must add the law of GOYA, which essentially tells us that if we want something, then we have to do the right thing at the right time in the right order. There is no more powerful motivator than vision. If we can truly see the points at which we wish to reach, then we are far more likely to achieve them. We have 100 billion cells in our brains, all emitting a frequency. If we are energy and our thoughts and emotions activate a frequency, then we must consider whether we are tuning into chaos or coherence. BEST MOMENTS 'We've become hypnotised by what society expects us to achieve' 'We don't want to force because force negates' 'Are we tuning into chaos or coherence?' 'You are the conductor. If you let the instruments dictate to you, then okay - suffer' EPISODE RESOURCES John Assaraf - https://www.johnassaraf.com Brainathon - www.brainathon123.com VALUABLE RESOURCES 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 Thanks to our Sponsor: Bon Charge - Get 20% off at www.boncharge.com/Angela ABOUT THE GUEST John Assaraf is one of the leading high-performance, success coaches in the world.

John Assaraf will be known to most people through his starring role in 'The Secret', as well as his series of neuroscience-based programs, books and consultancy work. In this bitesize biohack edition, John discusses affirmations and how they are meant to work, and effective ways in which we can channel our brain into performing better and achieving more. KEY TAKEAWAYS Many think that affirmations are simply a sentence describing something that is true. In reality, we are affirming in our minds - what we want to be true. We should treat our brains like an orchestra with ourselves as the conductor. It is our job to quieten down the voices in our minds that are too loud at times, and raise up the voices that are too quiet.

Dr Michael Platt is the president of the Platt Wellness Centre, and one of the most well-known and highly regarded specialists when it comes to hormone replacement, successfully treating thousands of patients globally. Angela and Dr Michael discuss hormonal imbalances, adrenal fatigue, the benefits of progesterone in modulating factors such as adrenaline, and how it can help to alleviate many symptoms in patients. KEY TAKEAWAYS People have varying degrees of adrenaline itself. It is a hormone and a neurotransmitter, known as the "fight or flight" hormone. But the true function of adrenaline is just to make sure that the brain has enough sugar to operate. Adrenaline is a genetic marker. If someone has too much, then it means that one of their parents also had a surplus. It also appears in high levels among creative people. The advantage of being in ketosis is that the body is already producing ketones. But if you are providing ketones through external means, there is no need to be in ketosis. When women are pregnant the placenta puts out progesterone causing high levels. If the woman and the foetus can tolerate these levels, then it follows that normal people should be able to tolerate them also. BEST MOMENTS 'Releasing adrenaline is actually a very rare occurrence' 'The body always wants to make sure that the brain has enough fuel to function' 'The brain uses glucose and ketones for fuel' 'Progesterone is a very safe hormone' EPISODE RESOURCES Platt Wellness – www.plattwellness.com Email: [email protected] Adrenaline Dominance - https://plattwellness.com/collections/books VALUABLE RESOURCES 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 Thanks to our Sponsor: Bon Charge - Get 20% off at www.boncharge.com/Angela ABOUT THE GUESTDr Michael Platt is also a renowned author, with his book ‘Adrenaline Dominance’ being the only book ever written that explores how excess adrenaline affects our body.

Tim Gray is the UK's leading biohacker, and the founder of the Health Optimisation Summit. In this short, sharp biohack episode, Tim shares a clever way to reduce stress, anxiety and the likelihood of panic attacks, by simply reconnecting the ground itself. KEY TAKEAWAYS When we have a process that promotes stress, it's helpful in any profession to have some kind of process that takes time, and serves to relax. Simply standing on the grass serves to provide us with a free electron intake, that help stabilise cortisol, reducing if needed and increasing if needed.

Dr. Molly Maloof provides health optimisation and personalised medicine to high achieving entrepreneurs, investors, and technology executives. She is also the author of 'The Spark Factor', an essential and groundbreaking new book designed to help reverse the dimming of the spark we all feel during our younger years, when we feel as though we can take on any challenge. Dr Maloof joins Angela to talk about the practical ways in which we can all revitalise the spark we lose sight of as we age, and lead a more resilient, fulfilling lifestyle. KEY TAKEAWAYS Achieving metabolic flexibility is one of the most analysed challenges today. The main issue is that eating low or high carbs has a drastic effect upon insulin. When you're burned out, your blood sugar levels will fluctuate wildly. Analysing hormones and keeping a check on our blood sugar levels will alert us to any issues incoming. The air we breathe and the food we eat are all consumed to become substraits for our body's metabolism. Effecting optimal digestion is the key to achieving gut health, which is responsible for energy production. Eating a vegan or vegetarian diet is beneficial in many ways, but we must always be aware that without testing and careful control, they can lead to nutrient deficiencies. Monitoring is essential. BEST MOMENTS 'Burnout is such a difficult thing to turn around' 'It's low insulin output as a result of a dietary style that leads to less insulin output' 'Oestrogen is insulin sensitising' 'Peptides are certainly an interesting biohack that a lot of people are getting into these days' EPISODE RESOURCES Molly’s Book: https://drmolly.co/thesparkfactor/ Dr Molly Maloof: www.drmolly.co Dr Molly Maloof Instagram: @drmolly.co Dr Molly Maloof's online course: YOUR HEALTHSPAN JOURNEY: master your blood sugar (your energy gauge & the ultimate biomarker!) to extend healthspan https://drmolly.co/courses/ Dr Molly Maloof’s Levels link: levels.link/drmolly VALUABLE RESOURCES 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 Thanks to our Sponsor: Bon Charge - Get 20% off at www.boncharge.com/Angela ABOUT THE GUEST As a physician and Stanford lecturer, Dr. Molly Maloof has spent her career providing personalized medicine services to high-performing technology executives, billionaire investors, Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, and Academy Award-winning actors. What she noticed is that women, specifically, were feeling the spark that once energized their lives beginning to dim. Not just metaphorically but in a measurable reduction in the energy output from their cells. In response, Dr. Molly developed a science-backed program focused on mitochondrial health, used successfully by her patients, which offered lifestyle changes that target the unique biology of women and provide immediate and long-term benefits--now available in her book The Spark Factor. “The idea is steady gradual improvement, not perfection. The goal is to help get your spark back, so you can spend the rest of your life empowered, alive, mobile, and resilient,” she writes.

Angela takes a deep dive into the results of her hair tissue and mineral analysis, in the company of biochemist and nutritionist, Barton Scott. In the first of a series of shows dedicated to proving that we can ultimately take back control of our own wellbeing by first establishing the flaws in our physicality and using specialised means to correct them, by analysing Angela's very own results. KEY TAKEAWAYS We often say we are what we eat, but in many cases it's true. The nutrition we consume has a great impact on the moods we experience, and therefore helps to determine our personality. Hair is the best way to look at the minerals contained in the body. The body pulls from places such as bone marrow and the elements it pulls show up in the hair, which grows out from inside the body. When you take Vitamin D by itself, and you have a magnesium deficiency, it causes calcium to levels to raise, but also cause cell death in the brain. The heart is a muscle that requires potassium to contract and magnesium to relax, and so both of these are essential for a healthy heart. BEST MOMENTS 'Nutrition becomes personality' 'Hair is tissue, just like skin is tissue, just like organs are tissue' 'I've made it my life's mission to get myself well and inspire other people to do the same' 'I can changes someone's personality by changing their nutrition' VALUABLE RESOURCES 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/podcastsThanks to our Sponsor: Bon Charge - Get 20% off at www.boncharge.com/Angela ABOUT THE GUEST Barton Scott is a biochemist and founder.

In the second part of her podcast about the brain, Angela talks once more to Mr Noots - brain health maestro and cognitive function specialist. In this conversation, the discussion turns to ways in which you can harness the power of nootropic stacks to increase productivity, accelerate flow states and achieve results much faster. KEY TAKEAWAYS A lot of our neurological repair takes place when we sleep at night. This is why a good night's sleep is so vital to productivity. Ingredients for products are always temperature controlled where possible until the moment of sale. While refrigeration is advisable due to its preservation qualities, it is not essential if products are used in a timely fashion. Two new molecules have been discovered that can sustain dopamine levels in the synapse without signalling the brain to stop making dopamine.

Angela revisits her conversation with Adam Parker, the executive wellness and performance coach, as well as creator of the Ideal Day podcast, in which they highlight the need to trust in the universe, and have faith in the belief that things can work out for the better. KEY TAKEAWAYS It's a universal law - sometimes referred to as the law of attraction - that what you put out into the world is what you receive in return. Society conditions us to think logically, but the proof of the law of attraction is undeniable. Putting out good energy into the world does cause the same to come back to you - not always from the same sources. More and more research extols the benefit of positive expectancy, but it has been misunderstood in some areas. The law of vibration is the primary law, and the law of attraction runs secondary to it. BEST MOMENTS 'If we just let go sometimes, things can come much faster for you' 'Your beliefs do change over time' 'What you put out into the world is what you'll receive back' RESOURCES FOR THIS EPISODE To hear the full Adam Parker episode go to: https://omny.fm/shows/high-performance-health/fireside-chat-with-adam-parker-on-mindset-resilien VALUABLE RESOURCES 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:Thanks to our Sponsor: Bon Charge - Get 20% off at www.boncharge.com/angela using coupon code ANGELA20 ABOUT THE GUEST Adam Parker is an executive wellness & performance coach, speaker and host of the top rated ‘Ideal Day Podcast’, where he collaborates with the world’s most respected minds in health, wellness and personal growth.

Mr Noots is the chief product officer for Nootopia, dedicated to helping you to discover and unlock your neurochemical super powers through a pioneering range of products and guidance. Mr Noots joins Angela today for the first in a two-part conversation around the ways in which we can accelerate our focus and flow, the brain itself and how it works, and the different compounds we can take to optimise its health at all times. KEY TAKEAWAYS The higher our energy levels at the time, the more information we tend to process. If we read in bed at night, then many of us find ourselves falling asleep for this very reason - because our body's speed has reduced. It's vital that women get blood tests and seek guidance where possible during pregnancy. It isn't a 9-12 month event - it's a process you go through for years afterwards. Music is an incredible modulator of neuro-activity. It can help you to transition from one state to another in a short amount of time. Nootropics help you to achieve operating states of focus, drive, love, chill, focus and performance. You can also combine the states to reach further different ones. BEST MOMENTS 'We're not all playing lead guitar. You have to put all of the instruments together and play in unison in order for you to feel awesome' 'Sleep really is the foundation for optimal health' 'Don't be afraid to listen to your dreams' 'These are all states you can accomplish' VALUABLE RESOURCES High-Performance Health Podcast Series -https://angelafosterperformance.com/podcasts/ Biohack Your Way to Your Best Self - Join My Exclusive Female Biohacker Collective – www.femalebiohacker.com Get a free health check and personalised report www.yourtotalhealthcheck.com Watch my Free Masterclass on how to master your metabolism -www.angelafosteracademy.com/master-your-metabolism Download my free Guide to Harmonising Your Hormones -www.angelafosterperformance.com/hormones Download my free Fasting Guide - www.angelafosterperformance.com/fasting/ Download my free Guide to Sleep Like a Boss -www.angelafosterperformance.com/sleep Join my free Facebook Community -www.facebook.com/groups/femalebiohacker Get my bestselling book Rethink Health - https://amzn.to/3vbzYOV Go to boncharge.com/angela and use coupon code ANGELA to save 20% ABOUT THE GUEST From building a radio at 5 years old, to building a Helium-Neon Laser from scratch before he turned 10– science, chemistry, and physics have always been a passion for Mr Noots.

In a special teaser preview of an upcoming interview with Mr Noots - the chief product officer for Nootopia - the conversation centres around sleep optimisation, and particularly how to enhance the health of the brain and the liver, so that you can remain primed for high performance, as well as how to better enhance REM sleep. KEY TAKEAWAYS At night, our bodies perform a removal process - the brain shrinks and opens up around the capillary wall so as to allow spinal fluid to remove detritus. Alzheimer's and dementia are not created in the brain from plaques. The plaques are created through liver function as a result of us not being able to go through the cleansing cycle. BEST MOMENTS 'We need to look at detoxifying, naturally and organically, leveraging our body's own detoxification process so that we can get to the same levels of clarity that we had when we were eight years old' 'We've created a thing called dream optimiser, which dramatically amplifies REM sleep' RESOURCES FOR THIS EPISODE [email protected] Nootopia.com Get 10% off Nootopia with code ANGELA10 VALUABLE RESOURCES Take My Biohacking Quiz and Get A Free Personalised Report Become an Insider of The Female Biohacker Collective and have Angela as Your Health Coach in Your Pocket Free Fasting Guide Podcast Shownotes Thanks to our Sponsor: Bon Charge - Get 20% off UK Listeners USA Listeners ABOUT THE GUEST From building a radio at 5 years old, to building a Helium-Neon Laser from scratch before he turned 10– science, chemistry, and physics have always been a passion for Mr Noots.

This week's special guest is Dr Sohère Roked, who's joining Angela to dive deep into the subject of hormones, specifically when you might need to consider hormone replacement therapy, the differences between different forms of oestrogen and progesterone that you can use, and what the critical window is that you should look to when considering this type of treatment. KEY TAKEAWAYS If you are menopause, and a hormone imbalance has not been corrected properly, then treatments will not be as effective. Hormones can account for a multitude of non-specific symptoms experienced by people - things such as fatigue, mood issues, aches and pains, headaches and general ailments. There is an imbalance between the care offered to men and the care offered to women, that must be addressed. Men have procedures such as a vasectomy and are offered pain relief, while women have invasive procedures and are offered none. From your early forties, it's worth tracking your hormone levels and the changes that take place will be made far more aware to you. Look at the moods you experience, as well as sleep cycles, heat levels, and focus levels. BEST MOMENTS 'It can be quite worthwhile to look at your hormone balance' 'Hormones, in my opinion, are the foundation of health' 'It takes time to change a system' 'These days, starting HRT before menopause can be a good idea' VALUABLE RESOURCES High-Performance Health Podcast Series -https://angelafosterperformance.com/podcasts/ Biohack Your Way to Your Best Self - Join My Exclusive Female Biohacker Collective – www.femalebiohacker.com Get a free health check and personalised report www.yourtotalhealthcheck.com Watch my Free Masterclass on how to master your metabolism -www.angelafosteracademy.com/master-your-metabolism Download my free Guide to Harmonising Your Hormones -www.angelafosterperformance.com/hormones Download my free Fasting Guide - www.angelafosterperformance.com/fasting/ Download my free Guide to Sleep Like a Boss -www.angelafosterperformance.com/sleep Join my free Facebook Community -www.facebook.com/groups/femalebiohacker Get my bestselling book Rethink Health - https://amzn.to/3vbzYOV ABOUT THE GUEST Dr Sohère Roked BMed MRCGP DFRSH DipSIM is one of the most experienced bioidentical and body-identical hormone doctors in the UK who believes hormone balance is one of the foundations of health and wellbeing. Having treated thousands of male and female patients in her career, Dr Roked can be found at the Omniya Clinic in London but also sees patients remotely via Zoom. After graduating from Southhampton University in 2003, Dr Roked worked in hospitals in England and Wales in the specialities of A&E, general medicine and surgery, women’s health, and otolaryngology, and spent 3 years working as a psychiatrist before becoming a GP. Having realised that not all conditions fully improve with conventional treatments, Dr Roked combined her wide knowledge of conventional and holistic medicine to better help her patients. Passionate about Integrative Medicine, she is dedicated to furthering her education, having studied with the British College of Integrative Medicine and has been taught by experts in the field from Australia, the USA and the UK. Dr Roked has been prescribing bio-identical and body-identical hormones for almost 10 years and views hormone balance as the foundation of health. She believes in the importance of preventative medicine and creates bespoke wellness programmes for her patients to achieve optimum health.

This week's bitesize biohack comes courtesy of Angela's incredible interview with Dr Lara Briden which centred around stress, hormones, insulin resistance and sleep, as well as how these factors can impact metabolic flexibility. KEY TAKEAWAYS With insulin resistance, the cells in the body are not getting the energy they need. This is where the 25% reduction in brain energy during perimenopause can come from. If you have a history of PCOS, then you likely have a history of insulin resistance because they often go hand in hand. Fasting for too long, in conjunction with exclusionary diets such as the keto diet, can cause hormone disruptions. BEST MOMENTS 'Insulin resistance is about having chronically elevated insulin' 'The brain needs to be able to burn ketones' 'Women under 35 - their hormonal system is a lot more sensitive to food signals' 'The goal is to feel well' VALUABLE RESOURCES High-Performance Health Podcast Series -https://angelafosterperformance.com/podcasts/ Biohack Your Way to Your Best Self - Join My Exclusive Female Biohacker Collective – www.femalebiohacker.com Get a free health check and personalised report www.yourtotalhealthcheck.com Watch my Free Masterclass on how to master your metabolism -www.angelafosteracademy.com/master-your-metabolism Download my free Guide to Harmonising Your Hormones -www.angelafosterperformance.com/hormones Download my free Fasting Guide - www.angelafosterperformance.com/fasting/ Download my free Guide to Sleep Like a Boss -www.angelafosterperformance.com/sleep Join my free Facebook Community -www.facebook.com/groups/femalebiohacker Get my bestselling book Rethink Health - https://amzn.to/3vbzYOV Link to full episode - Dr Lara Briden - https://omny.fm/shows/high-performance-health/104-hph Dr Lara Briden's books - https://geni.us/drlarabridenbooks ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster Angela is a Nutritionist, Health, and Performance Coach.

Dr Clare Bailey is a GP and health columnist with extensive experience in helping people lose weight and improve their health through her groundbreaking work with diet and exercise, as well as being the co-author of 'The Fast 800' series of books. In this episode, Dr Bailey discusses the ways in which you can reverse type-2 diabetes, and how you can improve your blood profiles and lose weight in a safe and effective way. KEY TAKEAWAYS Visceral fat is the fat that accumulates as you put on weight, particularly if you eat a sugary and starchy diet, and wraps around the internal organs, affecting the liver and pancreas. If visceral fat is developing, then you may well be developing insulin resistance. You might not be seeing it in your blood work, but visceral fat can provide an early warning sign. Take a piece of string and cut it to your height - fold it in half, wrap it around your middle, and the double string should meet at the end. This is an easy test for height vs weight. As with everything, there are healthy versions of fats and carbohydrates. The key is to identify the best versions and choose unprocessed. BEST MOMENTS 'The fat gets stored within the organs and causes inflammation. Over time it causes insulin resistance' 'Your hormones change the way you want to eat' 'The earlier you turn these things back, the greater the benefit' 'There are so many nutritional benefits from good quality olive oil' VALUABLE RESOURCES High-Performance Health Podcast Series -https://angelafosterperformance.com/podcasts/ Biohack Your Way to Your Best Self - Join My Exclusive Female Biohacker Collective – www.femalebiohacker.com Get a free health check and personalised report www.yourtotalhealthcheck.com Watch my Free Masterclass on how to master your metabolism -www.angelafosteracademy.com/master-your-metabolism Download my free Guide to Harmonising Your Hormones -www.angelafosterperformance.com/hormones Download my free Fasting Guide - www.angelafosterperformance.com/fasting/ Download my free Guide to Sleep Like a Boss -www.angelafosterperformance.com/sleep Join my free Facebook Community -www.facebook.com/groups/femalebiohacker Get my bestselling book Rethink Health - https://amzn.to/3vbzYOV Dr Claire Bailey - https://linktr.ee/claremo Dr Clare Bailey Books: https://geni.us/drclarebaileybooks ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster Angela is a Nutritionist, Health, and Performance Coach.

With the focus of the show currently on metabolic flexibility, Angela presents a biohack aimed at getting you there sooner. From her marvellous interview with Ben Azadi, the author of 'Keto Flex', we look at how you can use keto in the short term to develop metabolic flexibility, and how you become what you think about. KEY TAKEAWAYS Keto flexing is the premise behind how humans have existed for all time. Every single one of our ancestors has gone through a keto diet in some way due to environmental requirements. Many people get hung up on one diet, but the overarching principle is that metabolic flexibility is king. We're born this way, and yet we spend our lives trying to return to it. If other people are the cause of your problems, then it's unsustainable to think that you can live a carefree existence. Ultimately, we are responsible for our life and happiness. BEST MOMENTS 'It's about metabolic flexibility and using keto to achieve that' 'As soon as I said that I started to make better changes for my life' 'Keto is just one tool in the shed' VALUABLE RESOURCES High-Performance Health Podcast Series -https://angelafosterperformance.com/podcasts/ Biohack Your Way to Your Best Self - Join My Exclusive Female Biohacker Collective – www.femalebiohacker.com Get a free health check and personalised report www.yourtotalhealthcheck.com Watch my Free Masterclass on how to master your metabolism -www.angelafosteracademy.com/master-your-metabolism Download my free Guide to Harmonising Your Hormones -www.angelafosterperformance.com/hormones Download my free Fasting Guide - www.angelafosterperformance.com/fasting/ Download my free Guide to Sleep Like a Boss -www.angelafosterperformance.com/sleep Join my free Facebook Community -www.facebook.com/groups/femalebiohacker Get my bestselling book Rethink Health - https://amzn.to/3vbzYOV ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster Angela is a Nutritionist, Health, and Performance Coach.

Amanda Reilly explains what worthiness really is and why it’s so important to appreciate and honour yourself in your life We own our self-worth it’s not something we have to earn but wanting to fit in can lead us to be chameleon-like, changing to fit in with the tribe, but self-love brings self-worth and means we can be uniquely who we are truly born to be KEY TAKEAWAYS We are not taught to value ourselves and our inner worth We learn what things get us attention and love and what gets love taken away and we don’t want to get kicked out of the tribe We are wired for connection so we become chameleons changing ourselves to fit in with the tribe and be accepted We learn to condition ourselves trying to fit in, instead of uniquely being who we were born to be BEST MOMENTS ‘We decide how worthy we are’ We are human beings, not human doings ‘I had to figure out who I was outside of the rules and the titles’ ‘If you are full everyone around you benefits, if you are in lack you are in dehydration’ VALUABLE RESOURCES High-Performance Health Podcast Series -https://angelafosterperformance.com/podcasts/ Biohack Your Way to Your Best Self - Join My Exclusive Female Biohacker Collective – www.femalebiohacker.com Get a free health check and personalised report www.yourtotalhealthcheck.com Watch my Free Masterclass on how to master your metabolism -www.angelafosteracademy.com/master-your-metabolism Download my free Guide to Harmonising Your Hormones -www.angelafosterperformance.com/hormones Download my free Fasting Guide - www.angelafosterperformance.com/fasting/ Download my free Guide to Sleep Like a Boss -www.angelafosterperformance.com/sleep Join my free Facebook Community -www.facebook.com/groups/femalebiohacker Get my bestselling book Rethink Health - https://amzn.to/3vbzYOV ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster Angela is a Nutritionist, Health, and Performance Coach.

Eric Hinman is a 5x Ironman triathlete, content creator and social media influencer, sponsored by dozens of consumer brands. Some of Eric’s partners include Vital Proteins, GNC, Ten Thousand, Beam, Lane Eight, Chipotle, and Whole Foods. Eric joins Angela this week to talk about not just the health benefits of practices such as cold exposure and sauna can be, but also how they can be socially beneficial places, and how to use the entire holistic approach to drastically improve your mindset. KEY TAKEAWAYS Sauna is an incredibly beneficial practice, but while using it, communities can gather and grow, as fellow users take the time to not just improve their health, but communicate with like-minded people. If it feels good to do something, then it likely means that it is doing your body and mind some good. Our physicality is trained to reward us when we improve in some way. There's no reason why your body should not crave activity and action each moment of the day. Lulls in energy throughout the day generally mean that something isn't right with us. Build self-care protocols that allow you to be the best version of yourself possible. Take something new, one step at a time, whether it's sleep, diet, recovery or training itself, and turn them into habits. BEST MOMENTS 'There's such a cool community behind sauna' 'If it feels good doing something then it's probably good for you!' 'This has been a fourteen year journey for me' 'We all have a superhuman within us' VALUABLE RESOURCES High-Performance Health Podcast Series -https://angelafosterperformance.com/podcasts/ Biohack Your Way to Your Best Self - Join My Exclusive Female Biohacker Collective – www.femalebiohacker.com Get a free health check and personalised report www.yourtotalhealthcheck.com Watch my Free Masterclass on how to master your metabolism -www.angelafosteracademy.com/master-your-metabolism Download my free Guide to Harmonising Your Hormones -www.angelafosterperformance.com/hormones Download my free Fasting Guide - www.angelafosterperformance.com/fasting/ Download my free Guide to Sleep Like a Boss -www.angelafosterperformance.com/sleep Join my free Facebook Community -www.facebook.com/groups/femalebiohacker Get my bestselling book Rethink Health - https://amzn.to/3vbzYOV Eric Hinman - https://www.erichinman.com ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster Angela is a Nutritionist, Health, and Performance Coach.

Angela revisits her conversation with Dr tara Swart, who emphasises the value of vision boards, and why they might be the key to accelerating your goal plans for the year ahead. KEY TAKEAWAYS You have to do something small at least once a day in order to reach your goals. It's incremental, but you must move forward always. Neuroplasticity states that your brain can grow and change at any age, at any stage, and at any mindset. This proves how amazing we are. Once a year resolutions are doomed to fail as they require complete upheaval, whereas small wins acted upon constantly will retrain our brains. BEST MOMENTS 'The science that underlies manifestation is neuroplasticity' 'For people who are very stretched in life, it's easy to let things go by the wayside' 'The next stage is deliberate practice' VALUABLE RESOURCES High-Performance Health Podcast Series -https://angelafosterperformance.com/podcasts/ Biohack Your Way to Your Best Self - Join My Exclusive Female Biohacker Collective – www.femalebiohacker.com Get a free health check and personalised report www.yourtotalhealthcheck.com Watch my Free Masterclass on how to master your metabolism -www.angelafosteracademy.com/master-your-metabolism Download my free Guide to Harmonising Your Hormones -www.angelafosterperformance.com/hormones Download my free Fasting Guide - www.angelafosterperformance.com/fasting/ Download my free Guide to Sleep Like a Boss -www.angelafosterperformance.com/sleep Join my free Facebook Community -www.facebook.com/groups/femalebiohacker Get my bestselling book Rethink Health - https://amzn.to/3vbzYOV ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster Angela is a Nutritionist, Health, and Performance Coach.

Dr Steven R. Gundry is an American physician and low-carbohydrate diet author, most famous for his book 'Unlocking the Keto Code'. He is also the founder of Gundry MD, dedicated to dramatically improving human health, happiness, and longevity through his unique vision of diet and nutrition. Dr Steven joins Angela to talk about mitochondrial uncoupling, specifically how you can eat certain foods designed to turbo-charge your metabolism, effectively wasting calories, enabling you to support energy and vitality while supporting fat loss at the same time. KEY TAKEAWAYS There must be a mechanism by where mitochondria protect themselves. The best example of this is to see it as a kind of pressure cooker, where if the pressure reaches a certain point it explodes. This is prevented by a pressure valve, which is the same method used by mitochondria. Ketones are often misrepresented as some kind of miracle fuel for the body that is desired by every part of physical form. But this is not true. Free fatty acids go to the liver, and the liver converts them to ketones, which are very small acids that can get through the blood and be used as a fuel. This explains why, if you're hungry, you make ketones. The polyphenol compounds were designed by plants to protect their mitochondria from sun damage. Polyphenols that we eat are very poorly absorbed, but we're beginning to see that they are the most important prebiotic for our gut bacteria. BEST MOMENTS 'It's virtually impossible to get kids or adults to avoid carbohydrates for any length of time' 'Ketones are touted as some kind of miraculous fuel' 'These are consequences of that thermonuclear reaction - that coupling' 'Gut bacteria, in turn, make these compounds much more bio-available' VALUABLE RESOURCES High-Performance Health Podcast Series -https://angelafosterperformance.com/podcasts/ Biohack Your Way to Your Best Self - Join My Exclusive Female Biohacker Collective – www.femalebiohacker.com Get a free health check and personalised report www.yourtotalhealthcheck.com Watch my Free Masterclass on how to master your metabolism -www.angelafosteracademy.com/master-your-metabolism Download my free Guide to Harmonising Your Hormones -www.angelafosterperformance.com/hormones Download my free Fasting Guide - www.angelafosterperformance.com/fasting/ Download my free Guide to Sleep Like a Boss -www.angelafosterperformance.com/sleep Join my free Facebook Community -www.facebook.com/groups/femalebiohacker Get my bestselling book Rethink Health - https://amzn.to/3vbzYOV Dr Gundry - https://drgundry.com Gundry MD - https://gundrymd.com Gundry Health - https://gundryhealth.com ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster Angela is a Nutritionist, Health, and Performance Coach.

Angela revisits her interview with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon to tell you how much protein you need to gain muscle and how much protein is needed to stimulate muscle protein synthesis. She explains whether you can do this on a vegan or vegetarian diet. Then, goes on to explain the role collagen plays and how it affects your tissue. KEY TAKEAWAYS A healthy gut biome can make enough essential amino acids. You need to strategize your eating philosophy to fit in with the demands your body is under e.g. if you want to get lean again after a pregnancy you are going to have to eat differently than when you were pregnant. Have a structured training plan that hits each body part twice a week. You can train fast, but you do need to refuel too. Collagen does not do a lot for muscle, but it is still very beneficial in other ways. But you have to get the dose right. How to do this is explained in the podcast. EPISODE RESOURCES Original Episode (131) - https://angelafosterperformance.com/ep-131-how-to-achieve-beauty-fitness-longevity-with-dr-gabrielle-lyon/ BEST MOMENTS 'Carbs are not the issue because you are doing the right training' 'There are really good strategies that stand the test of time' 'The data is clear, it is about volume and exertion' 'Human behaviour is incredibly predictable.

Dr Dani Gordon is a world-leading expert in CBD and medical cannabis, and joins Angela for a thought-provoking discussion about their benefits, when is the right time to use more stimulating forms of breath work, how to optimise your own wellbeing practices, as well as her authored works on the subject of CBD and resilience. KEY TAKEAWAYS Resilience is the metric which shows us how well we bounce back from challenge. For people who are well in the first place, resilience can still be used to "bounce forward" - a building block for even more resilience. Hemp CBD does not work as a sleep aid. In fact it can have the opposite effect, making people far more alert and awake. Like anything else, if a substance is abused then it can hurt resilience instead of helping to build it. The key is to be aware and not let it overtake you. There is evidence that legalising cannabis does not lead to an increase in misuse by the younger generation. This is something of a myth. BEST MOMENTS 'It's about health and wellbeing resilience' 'We want to make people who are well already, bounce forward' 'It can wake up some of the parts of the brain involved with keeping us awake and alert' 'You actually need more stress to build resilience' VALUABLE RESOURCES High-Performance Health Podcast Series -https://angelafosterperformance.com/podcasts/ Biohack Your Way to Your Best Self - Join My Exclusive Female Biohacker Collective – www.femalebiohacker.com Get a free health check and personalised report www.yourtotalhealthcheck.com Watch my Free Masterclass on how to master your metabolism -www.angelafosteracademy.com/master-your-metabolism Download my free Guide to Harmonising Your Hormones -www.angelafosterperformance.com/hormones Download my free Fasting Guide - www.angelafosterperformance.com/fasting/ Download my free Guide to Sleep Like a Boss -www.angelafosterperformance.com/sleep Join my free Facebook Community -www.facebook.com/groups/femalebiohacker Get my bestselling book Rethink Health - https://amzn.to/3vbzYOV ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster Angela is a Nutritionist, Health, and Performance Coach.

Angela revisits her interview with Dr Will Bulsiewicz, and his vital messaging regarding glucose levels, and why keeping a keen eye on flattening the curve is important, as well as making sure that we have good insulin sensitivity. KEY TAKEAWAYS The mechanisms of gaining free fat are through obesity, and also through our dietary intake. The microbiome is related the way that we process our food, and is a part of establishing what our blood sugar is after a meal, and also what our blood fat is. Even though we are genetically similar to family members, and live in the same environment, we sometimes share only around 35% of the same microbes.

Often we are searching for a way to connect the mind to the body in order to realise our full potential, and no one knows more about how to achieve this, than this week’s guest, Dr Tara Swart, the Chief Science Officer at Heights, pioneers of the Heights Smart Supplement, designed to boost brainpower and allow you take control of your health. Dr Swart discusses the female brain and the unique challenges faced each day, as well as how we can optimise for a healthy brain, manage longevity and manifest your best life. KEY TAKEAWAYS Men’s brains are also affected by the arrival of babies. Their oxytocin levels increase due to bonding, and testosterone levels decrease simultaneously, and even more so if the baby sleeps in the bedroom alongside the parents. Your brain can grow and change at any age, any stage and any mindset. This scientific truth is neuroplasticity, and is the foundational element behind manifestation. Women are proven to get more dementia than men, and while it is hard to prove why, schools of thought believe that it may be due to the diminishing sleep levels that occur during child-rearing. Negative impacts from the perimenopause period in life can occur, but they aren’t necessarily a prerequisite. We should not assume that the effects are mandatory and must never tell ourselves that we can expect negative degradation when it arrives. It’s not always the case. BEST MOMENTS ‘The science that underlies manifestation is neuroplasticity’ ‘Women do get dementia more than men’ ‘Breaking everything down into bite-sized chunks is a very important part of building in micro-habits that make your brain work better’ ‘Positive expectancy is definitely the thing. It also helps to build resilience’ VALUABLE RESOURCES High-Performance Health Podcast Series -https://angelafosterperformance.com/podcasts/ Biohack Your Way to Your Best Self - Join My Exclusive Female Biohacker Collective – www.femalebiohacker.com Get a free health check and personalised report www.yourtotalhealthcheck.com Watch my Free Masterclass on how to master your metabolism -www.angelafosteracademy.com/master-your-metabolism Download my free Guide to Harmonising Your Hormones -www.angelafosterperformance.com/hormones Download my free Fasting Guide - www.angelafosterperformance.com/fasting/ Download my free Guide to Sleep Like a Boss -www.angelafosterperformance.com/sleep Join my free Facebook Community -www.facebook.com/groups/femalebiohacker Get my bestselling book Rethink Health - https://amzn.to/3vbzYOV ABOUT THE GUEST Dr Tara Swart is an Oxford University-trained medical doctor and neuroscientist, bringing over 25 years of brain expertise to Heights and has been appointed as Chief Science Officer.

In a very special preview of a soon-to-come conversation with Dr Tara Swart, she explains about the effects of sleep, the incredible potential of the female brain, and why we should think of yoga as a mindfulness practice. Hear the full episode this Friday, 20th January 2023! KEY TAKEAWAYS Periods can be associated with lots of emotional dis-regulation which has to be learned to overcome during a crucial time in life. One night's bad sleep can lead to IQ being lowered by 10% each day. Several nights' sleep missed can lead to the mental equivalent of being drunk. Women get more dementia than men, and this has been tentatively attributed to less sleep during the child-rearing phase. It's more likely connected to the fact that women live longer.

They key to communicating it effectively to others, is to activate that same level of passion in them, and show them what is possible.

Angela shares her own personal experience from her twelve months with no alcohol, and talks about the most effective ways in which you can replace bad habits with positive new ones, ensuring that they stick for life. KEY TAKEAWAYS If you are hoping to change a habit and give something up, you need to consider what to replace it with and how this replacement can positively recreate the same experience for you. When you have a habit, it is providing you with a benefit, even in the case of bad habits. It can come in the form of a feeling or a state of being. It's sometimes easier to drop a habit or replace it, if we go all in. Dipping back in and out of a habit can make it much harder to give up BEST MOMENTS 'When you give something up, it does create a vacuum' 'The experience is key' 'I find it easier to go all in' VALUABLE RESOURCES High-Performance Health Podcast Series -https://angelafosterperformance.com/podcasts/ Biohack Your Way to Your Best Self - Join My Exclusive Female Biohacker Collective – angelafoster.me/fbc Get a free health check and personalised report www.yourtotalhealthcheck.com Watch my Free Masterclass on how to master your metabolism -www.angelafosteracademy.com/master-your-metabolism Download my free Guide to Harmonising Your Hormones -www.angelafosterperformance.com/hormones Download my free Fasting Guide - www.angelafosterperformance.com/fasting/ Download my free Guide to Sleep Like a Boss -www.angelafosterperformance.com/sleep Join my free Facebook Community -www.facebook.com/groups/femalebiohacker Get my bestselling book Rethink Health - https://amzn.to/3vbzYOV ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster Angela is a Nutritionist, Health, and Performance Coach.

With clients including Google, London business school, Deloitte and Astra Zeneca, Jim’s corporate speeches are designed to deliver quantifiable performance results and are centred around practical strategies that employees can use to reach their peak potential. Jim joins Angela to talk about his latest work, 'Unashamedly Superhuman', a book designed to designed to help you "Harness Your Inner Power and Achieve Your Greatest Professional and Personal Goals". KEY TAKEAWAYS The label of "Superhuman" is often reserved for a privileged few, and can feel a little unrelatable at times. But we all have that potential inside us. No one ever instinctually believes that they are working to their full potential. We inherently know that we can always do better. Specialists in endurance train their people to reward themselves through self-administering dopamine, a technique known as "thin slice recognition". It's about rewarding yourself each step of the way and not using the distant end goal as the prize. When you enter a mindfulness practice, you build and develop centres of the brain that cause you to recruit the focus circuits. When you go into your day, you will find that this helps you to feel less distracted.

No matter where we are in our fitness journey, we all need to focus upon optimising our body composition, and in this bitesize biohack, we look at insights from the marvellous Gabrielle Lyon, and how protein consumption might be the key to making sure our physical make-up is at its best. KEY TAKEAWAYS The key to understanding body composition and optimal body mass is understanding that blood levels of amino acids need to rise to a specific point. We should be consuming a minimum of four and half ounces of protein in order to his the best threshold. When we hit it, it triggers muscle. Exercise and weight training in particular, must be tailored to the point where the resistance is enough to trigger the stimulus to the muscle tissue.

In a special mini-series of episodes, Angela takes a look back at some of the highlights from the past twelve months, showcasing some of the most insightful wisdom and practical advice shared by her amazing gallery of guests. In this second retrospective edition, Angela and her guests come together to talk about the way in which we can show up as our best selves for the new year ahead, and how to make sure we're empowered enough to achieve the goals we set for ourselves. KEY TAKEAWAYS In order to set yourself up to win you have to first be okay with where you're at, and then gain clarity over where you wish to be. When you're trying to achieve something new in life, you need to create a new form of yourself and overcome your former programming. When you focus your attention, you are telling the infinite universe and its source of energy how to move. Overcoming the barriers of our minds begins when we truly begin to understand what is possible. The people who wish they could, but use self-limiting beliefs as an excuse, simply need to decide how much they want it, then prioritise their time.

Now is a great time to focus and reflect, and part of this is optimising our bodies for high performance. Sleep, in this respect, plays a huge part in making sure that we're at our best, and in this week's bitesize biohack, Angela looks at the insights provided by Dr Patrick Porter, and how we can achieve a more consistent state of flow, enabling us to rapidly accelerate our productivity levels. KEY TAKEAWAYS When we are in a flow state we are up to five times more productive. Theoretically, by reaching the flow state we could 5x our output. All brainwaves are important in the right context, so we need to contextualise them all as a symphony that work together instead of single elements. All dopamine reactions are designed with movement in mind. If we are in a state of relaxation, or seated, then dopamine reactions cause our brains to fry. The gamma brain wave is a higher level of creativity and problem solving. Gamma is very important in helping people to overcome dementia and Alzheimers. BEST MOMENTS 'We want to look at how we can optimise productivity, sleep and flow states' 'We call this a symphony of brainwaves' 'Most of our addictions are dopamine addictions' VALUABLE RESOURCES High-Performance Health Podcast Series -https://angelafosterperformance.com/podcasts/ Biohack Your Way to Your Best Self - Join My Exclusive Female Biohacker Collective – angelafoster.me/fbc Get a free health check and personalised report www.yourtotalhealthcheck.com Watch my Free Masterclass on how to master your metabolism -www.angelafosteracademy.com/master-your-metabolism Download my free Guide to Harmonising Your Hormones -www.angelafosterperformance.com/hormones Download my free Fasting Guide - www.angelafosterperformance.com/fasting/ Download my free Guide to Sleep Like a Boss -www.angelafosterperformance.com/sleep Join my free Facebook Community -www.facebook.com/groups/femalebiohacker Get my bestselling book Rethink Health - https://amzn.to/3vbzYOV Patrick Porter Episode - https://omny.fm/shows/high-performance-health/optimise-your-brain-s-peak-potential-with-braintap ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster Angela is a Nutritionist, Health, and Performance Coach.

In a special mini-series of episodes, Angela takes a look back at some of the highlights from the past twelve months, showcasing some of the most insightful wisdom and practical advice shared by her amazing gallery of guests. In this first edition, Angela and her guests discourse on subjects such as what intermittent fasting is, how long the fast needs to be, how supplements can help to regulate energy, and how to enhance mitochondrial health. KEY TAKEAWAYS To get ahead and use true preventive medicine, hormones should be checked once a year up to the age of about 40, and then twice a year from then on. NAD plays hugely critical roles within our physical make up. It's a big part of our energy production, and without NAD, our mitochondrial pathway would not work. Fasting can be classified into two groups - intermittent fasting is any fast below two days, and prolonged fasting which is any fast that goes above two days. In the small amount of research that is out there on postmenopausal women and exercise fasting is not recommended.

If you're considering an indulgent festive period, but still wish to manage your blood glucose levels effectively, then Angela is here with a biohack, courtesy of Wade Lightheart, in which he talks about how to optimise glucose control and insulin sensitivity. KEY TAKEAWAYS There is a growing body of evidence that suggests that blood sugar dis-regulation is extremely rampant in society. There is much collateral damage leading to cholesterol. We have evolved to eat natural whole foods, but the rapid industrialisation in food have led to quick-digesting foods that have a high sugar content that upsets blood sugar. You should aim to limit the amount of insulin being released and keep within a narrow range, so that you become a fat metaboliser. People can have genetic predispositions due to their inherent body type. This causes different foods to react in different ways depending on who eats it. This means a one-size-fits-all approach can't comprehensively work for everyone. BEST MOMENTS 'We all want to have fun while remaining fit and healthy' 'Blood sugar dis-regulation is contributing to the top three diseases' 'The consequences for people are huge' 'There's no set amount of responses to individuals' VALUABLE RESOURCES High-Performance Health Podcast Series -https://angelafosterperformance.com/podcasts/ Biohack Your Way to Your Best Self - Join My Exclusive Female Biohacker Collective – angelafosteracademy.com/female-biohacker-collective-enrol Get a free health check and personalised report www.yourtotalhealthcheck.com Watch my Free Masterclass on how to master your metabolism -www.angelafosteracademy.com/master-your-metabolism Download my free Guide to Harmonising Your Hormones -www.angelafosterperformance.com/hormones Download my free Fasting Guide - www.angelafosterperformance.com/fasting/ Download my free Guide to Sleep Like a Boss -www.angelafosterperformance.com/sleep Join my free Facebook Community -www.facebook.com/groups/femalebiohacker Get my bestselling book Rethink Health - https://amzn.to/3vbzYOV Full Wade Lightheart episode - https://omny.fm/shows/high-performance-health/120-hph ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster Angela is a Nutritionist, Health, and Performance Coach.

In this special episode, Angela shares some empowering tips designed to help you navigate the Christmas period effectively - how to have fun but still remain on track, health-wise. People always want to maximise their fun but refrain from undoing the good work they've done throughout the year, and in this episode, Angela tells you exactly how to do it. KEY TAKEAWAYS You will feel a lot better if you stick to a twelve-hour overnight fast, regardless of how much you eat during the day. High intensity exercise and resistance training have been shown to help activate a transport protein called Glute 4, which helps to move glucose into muscle tissue without producing insulin. If you do overindulge in alcohol then do take care if engaging in exercise. It severely limits your ability to burn calories and fat, because your liver prioritises the alcohol first. Have some electrolytes and watch the caffeine levels. Vitamin C is incredibly important, especially if you've been drinking alcohol, which causes a rapid consumption of Vit C in the body. You can take up to about 3 grams per day split into three doses. BEST MOMENTS 'You have full permission to enjoy Christmas. It's an opportunity that comes once a year, where we can slow the pace down' 'High intensity exercise for the win!' 'Chlorophyll can help to reduce the damage done to DNA' 'Eat lots of cruciferous vegetables. They're so important for female hormone health' VALUABLE RESOURCES High-Performance Health Podcast Series -https://angelafosterperformance.com/podcasts/ Biohack Your Way to Your Best Self - Join My Exclusive Female Biohacker Collective – angelafosteracademy.com/female-biohacker-collective-enrol Get a free health check and personalised report www.yourtotalhealthcheck.com Watch my Free Masterclass on how to master your metabolism -www.angelafosteracademy.com/master-your-metabolism Download my free Guide to Harmonising Your Hormones -www.angelafosterperformance.com/hormones Download my free Fasting Guide - www.angelafosterperformance.com/fasting/ Download my free Guide to Sleep Like a Boss -www.angelafosterperformance.com/sleep Join my free Facebook Community -www.facebook.com/groups/femalebiohacker Get my bestselling book Rethink Health - https://amzn.to/3vbzYOV ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster Angela is a Nutritionist, Health, and Performance Coach.
