Angela shares some invaluable knowledge from her first interview with Dr Stacy Sims, in which the discussion centred around why women should not be engaging in intermittent fasting for any length of time, and why layering in factors such as keto and exercise is not a good idea. KEY TAKEAWAYS When you eliminate things from your diet, then your body naturally asks why. Intermittent fasting, plus keto and exercise is incredibly stressful for the body. Exercise is already placing your body in a fasting state. The food aspect and exercise that you do must work together. Throwing varied forms of exercise, fasting and diets shouldn't just be throw into your routine haphazardly. BEST MOMENTS 'If you're layering exercise and intermittent fasting, then it's above and beyond the stress that a woman's body should handle' 'Most outcomes are based on male populations or sedentary obese women' 'Exercise itself is a fasted state' 'We need to think about how this affects our daily life' RESOURCES FOR THIS EPISODE Episode 94 - Sex Differences in Training, Nutrition and Environmental Conditions, Working Positively with Female Physiology with Dr Stacy Sims - https://omny.fm/shows/high-performance-health/094-hph 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.

Dr Michael Mosley is a science presenter, journalist and executive producer. He is also the the author of the international bestselling books The Clever Guts Diet, The Fast Diet, Fast Exercise and The 8-Week Blood Sugar Diet. Dr Mosley joins Angela to discuss his new book, 'Just One Thing', which is dedicated to different biohacks you can use to upgrade your health, your performance and your longevity, as well as wearables and how effective and accurate they can be. KEY TAKEAWAYS People's metabolisms are struggling today far more than ever before, largely due to the increase in junk food and processed foods we are seeing on the marketplace. Squats can be used as a helpful way to boost your brain and BDNF levels, because of the increase in blood flow caused by this. The three things you really need to crack in order to remain at optimal health are healthy weight, mindfulness, and exercise. Exercise is truly essential as it helps to optimise muscle mass. The two greatest predictors of life expectancy are your insulin sensitivity, and the amount of oxygen you can burn when you're really pushing yourself during exercises that test your maximum limits. BEST MOMENTS 'Unfortunately these kinds of foods are quite alien to us' 'After the age of 30, you will lose up to 10% of muscle mass every decade' 'He's demonstrated cognitive improvement in people who do these particular exercises' 'Make the most of the cold winter!'

Stephen Flynn co-founder of The Happy Pear talks with Angela about his journey and how The Happy Pear came to be They discuss how as products of our environment, many people now have a proliferation of sugar and processed food in their diet and why the best thing you can do for your health is to eat as many and as diverse whole foods as possible.

It’s almost an act of rebellion to eat healthy food Little things done over time have a massive compounding effect The best thing you can do for your health is to eat as many whole foods as possible and aim for diversity, with at least 30 different types of fruit and veg per week As humans, we are hardwired to move and movement keeps us healthy Health is contagious and as social creatures, we copy the rest of our tribe As human beings, we are part of the natural world and should spend time in nature BEST MOMENTS ‘When you really truly want something and are willing to risk everything for it you can achieve it’ ‘The proliferation of sugar and processed foods in western civilisation is ubiquitous’ ‘It’s not about being vegan or vegetarian it’s just trying to eat more whole foods’ ‘95% of their diet is whole plant foods compared with western civilisation where 50-55% of calories are from processed foods and only 10% from whole foods’ RESOURCES FOR THIS EPISODE The Happy Pear Healthy Living App https://thehappypear.ie/ angelafoster.me/fbc 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 GUEST The Happy Pear started out back in 2004 with Steve, Dave, a tiny shop and a dream of helping people to eat more veg!

Neuroscientist Dr Caroline Leaf talks with Angela about the mind, what it is and how you can reduce toxic stress and tune into the signals to make positive change In this fascinating look at the non-conscious, subconscious and conscious aspects of the mind Dr Caroline explains how the mind is the driving force that keeps the brain and body going and discusses the ways it processes and brings understanding to our experiences As Dr Caroline discusses we can’t see mind but the product of mind are how we communicate and express our uniqueness KEY TAKEAWAYS The mind is the ability that we have as humans to use our brain and body to express our uniqueness The mind is the driving force that keeps the brain and body going The mind is our aliveness, our ability to think, feel and choose on a psychological level It is what helps the heart, beat and the body make new cells The biggest driving force part of the mind is the non-conscious It’s the part that is active all the time helping us to process and understand our experiences The most obvious part of the mind is the conscious mind and it draws on the non-conscious for understanding The subconscious part of the mind is the bridge between the infinite non-conscious and the finite conscious parts of the mind Thoughts are made of memories and our mind makes these thoughts made of memories out of experiences and builds them into the brain as structural changes We build every experience into the brain, body and mind and this is driven by the non-conscious As humans, we need to tune into the signals so that we can move things into the conscious mind and change We need to allow ourselves to feel depression and anxiety, accept it and then weaken the pathway to You can train yourself with the neurocycle process to get your conscious mind to connect with and listen to the subconscious to find the thoughts in the non-conscious and deconstruct and reconstruct them Thoughts can be changed when they are pulled into the conscious mind When we build in the wrong expectation the result is a loss of selfhood BEST MOMENTS ‘Everything about your aliveness is coming from this driving force of the mind ‘You can’t see mind but you see the product of mind in our ability to communicate Post-natal depression is a very normal response to a challenging situation What we say and what we do is an outpouring of our thoughts RESOURCES FOR THIS EPISODE Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess: 5 Simple, Scientifically Proven Steps to Reduce Anxiety, Stress, and Toxic Thinking - https://amzn.to/3Vqnqzr Neurocycle app: https://neurocycle.app CF program: https://neurocycleinstitute.com Book: https://drleaf.com/collections/all/products/pre-order-cleaning-up-your-mental-mess Visit my website at https://drleaf.com for more free resources -Instagram: @drcarolineleaf: https://www.instagram.com/drcarolineleaf/- -Facebook: Dr. Caroline Leaf: https://www.facebook.com/drleaf -Twitter: @drcarolineleaf: https://twitter.com/DrCarolineLeaf -Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/drcarolineleaf 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.

Dr Stacy Sims joins Angela to discuss the science behind training effectively as a woman and explains how in the years leading up to menopause it's vital to instigate different techniques in training and nutritional strategies to offset what your hormones are no longer doing This in-depth interview is a great opportunity to hear about what supports the maintenance of lean mass and the adaptations that should be made during perimenopause to support effective autophagy KEY TAKEAWAYS We need external stress to create a signal of adaptation the way our hormones did To aesthetically change body shape you need to train a minimum of four times a week You need to spend time learning techniques and the mechanics before you build load, lifting heavy is about the neuro-muscular connection For women, when there is no carbohydrate available as fuel when exercising you burn lean mass To maintain lean mass we have to do things when fuelled Sprint interval training is about being short, sharp and very efficient You should avoid high-intensity work in the luteal phase because it’s a strong stressor The primary objective of intermittent fasting is weight loss Aerobic exercise promotes the growth of brain tissue Exercising is a huge stimulus for creating autophagy in the brain and cardiovascular system Our bodies revert to using lean mass first over fat and carbohydrates The limited research available on post-menopausal women indicates fasting isn’t beneficial A small amount of pre-fuel makes all the difference BEST MOMENTS ‘Exercise has more robust data to support longevity’ ‘If you are trying to do high-intensity training or heavy-weight training and you don’t have fuel on board it causes a quagmire of increased cortisol’ ‘Women have a gene adaptation in the liver that upregulates - storing everything and burning lean mass’ ‘It’s really important that women remember to eat’ ABOUT THE GUEST STACY T. 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.

Dr Joseph Antoun, physician and CEO of L-Nutra has a passion to bring fasting to the world and help humanity to live in a more healthy way and longer He talks with Angela about his research and how the fast mimicking diet means you can move to autophagy and protect your lean muscle Understand more about how to optimise fasting and longevity in this informative episode KEY TAKEAWAYS There are 2 categories of fasting – intermittent and periodic Autophagy begins for most people at around 48 hours and the most important aspect of fasting is stressing the body Stress elevates cortisol and with a focus on protein you can restructure muscle The duality of fasting means you are accessing your fat reserve and protecting lean muscle mass Fasting allows you to go beyond day 2 and Prolon’s five-day regime effectively supports this A cellular fast means the cells are getting nutrients but not spiking insulin The body switches to keto and autophagy on days 2 and 3 and then on days 4 and 5 the feeling is euphoric and cells are being rejuvenated The mimicking fasting diet puts the body in a good metabolic state to optimise nutrition around your treatment Intermittent fasting can help to keep cancer cells in check in the early stages Cancer cells can’t survive fasting mode because they need calories, they don’t know how to stop replicating by design BEST MOMENTS ‘It’s not sci-fi it’s the speed of the crisis, the intensity of the crisis and how much reserves you have to compensate for it’ ‘If you want to benefit from autophagy you have to give it time’ ‘Prolon is short enough that people can do it but long enough to get people into autophagy’ You should be aiming to under nourish cancer cells not feeding them to grow RESOURCES FOR THIS EPISODE https://www.linkedin.com/in/drjosephantoun https://mobile.twitter.com/drjosephantoun https://prolon.co.uk/ https://l-nutra.com/ 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 GUEST Dr. Joseph Antoun always knew he wanted to help others through medicine, which is why he trained to be a physician.

Dr. Antoun wanted to be at the forefront of changing our current healthcare system of sick care to a more proactive approach, which meant taking care of our existing good health. After years of working at pharmaceutical companies and, later, focusing on public health policy, he found what he was searching for at L-Nutra, Inc., a cutting-edge nutri-technology company.

Dame Amanda O’Reilly, Lifestyle Entrepreneur, the ‘Worthiness Whisperer ‘and founder of Worthy Wands, talks with Angela about self-worth and how understanding who we truly are is the key to inner self-worth Amanda discusses how she was addicted to the ‘doing’ in life to validate who she was and how the key to freedom was working on her inner sense of worth and understanding that we decide on how worthy we are not others When you upgrade your own inner sense of worth and confidence everything changes because if you believe you are worthy and enough what you can accomplish is limitless KEY TAKEAWAYS Self-worth is how we feel about ourselves not how others feel about us, we decide how worthy we are, it’s something we own We are wired for connection and become chameleons to be able to fit in Our souls are always listening and the brain works on repetition so if the dialogue is negative that will be what we manifest Being alone with yourself and journaling can help with naming it to tame it It’s very hard to outperform your identity and anything that follows ‘I am’ becomes your identity You can think one thought and it can lead to a hundred others but just because you think it doesn’t make it true unless you believe it When you experience pain, sadness and frustration it’s because you are out of alignment with your inner self It’s questioning your thoughts and asking where would you be without that thought? It's deciding what you want and who you need to become to have those things You have to plant the thoughts you want to make reality Things don’t happen to you, they happen for you If you believed you were worthy and enough what could you accomplish? BEST MOMENTS ’ You should measure your success by how you feel’ ‘When we care more about how we feel about ourselves everyone around us benefits’ ‘The key to freedom is that we are not our thoughts, we are just the thinker of our thoughts’ ‘I have an unbreakable, unshakable relationship with self now that I didn’t have before and it started with making friends with the woman in the mirror’ RESOURCES FOR THIS EPISODE https://www.worthywands.com/ enter ‘Angela 20’ at checkout for a 20% discount Amanda O'Reilly Instagram Get a free health check and personalised report www.yourtotalhealthcheck.com 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.angelafosteracademy.com/female-Biohacker-collective 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 Amanda O’Reilly Lifestyle Entrepreneur, Dame ( yup! she was Knighted), and the Creator of Worthy Wands, Amanda is the definition of confidence and empowerment. It took her realizing with deep inner work, that she didn’t feel worthy or enough in her own life, despite building multiple 7 figure businesses. Addicted to the DO of life because that’s how she validated her worth, she had to learn to reprogram her unconscious beliefs about herself and learn to BE. In doing so she created Worthy Wands. A collection of science-backed jewellery designed to rewire the subconscious mind and reprogram your DNA. To date, seven lives have been saved from suicide and this brand is making waves around the world reminding women, men, and teens alike that they were born worthy and are more than enough.

In this bitesize episode, Dr Jay Wiles shares how you can effectively biohack stress to support longevity. With better self-awareness and increased self-regulation you can change the way you deal with stress and condition your response With self-control and emotional regulation impacting HRV and resilience the ways you respond to stress really does make the difference KEY TAKEAWAYS You can see it coming if you are measuring it and are self-aware We create habits and behaviours to avoid doing the real self-regulation work When your nervous system takes a hit and you use the stress for good you are conditioning the body to respond in this way Stress is not bad, it’s a warning sign that you can use Do we allow stress to consume us or continue to develop our self-regulation skills? Longevity is impacted by the components of emotional regulation and self-control BEST MOMENTS ‘A stressor that could be benign to the body becomes malignant to the body’ ‘People don’t realise the effects of stress until they burn out’ ‘We have to make the decision about how we deal with stress’ 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.angelafosteracademy.com/female-Biohacker-collective 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 Nichola Conlon, CEO and founder of Nuchido is a molecular biologist specialising in the study of cellular ageing. In this episode she talks to Angela about the vital molecule you’ve probably never heard of NAD+ With a critical role in the energy production for cells NAD+ levels are impacted by lifestyle and ageing but as Dr Nichola Conlon explains there are positive actions you can take to boost NAD+ levels and optimise your health and longevity to live your best life KEY TAKEAWAYS The fluctuating levels of NAD+ control cellular maintenance and repair being switched on and off Research indicates that NAD+ begins its decline from birth, by the time you reach twenty you have half the amount of energy in your tissues Any level of fasting will help to increase your energy levels, when you fast AMPK is activated and up-regulates NAD+ levels Creating energy stress through fasting, calorie restriction and exercise in the body positively impacts NAD+ levels The salvage pathway recycles NAD+ for use again for repair and mitochondrial pathways but declines with age All the benefits of exercise and fasting happen because they are increasing the function of the salvage pathways Elevating NAD+ can help make some chronic illnesses significantly better Biological age can be impacted by making simple lifestyle changes Sirtuins are at the top of the cascade that switches on many aspects of longevity and they are dependent on NAD+ as fuel to function NAD+ is involved in regulating the circadian rhythm by switching on the pathways that impact the rhythm BEST MOMENTS ‘I do all my exercise in a fasted state to prolong AMPK activation’ ‘You are fundamentally altering the cells' ability to make more NAD+ ‘ ‘Our bodies aren’t designed to live in the way we are living today ‘If you want to make sense of ageing look at it from the perspective of evolution’ RESOURCES FOR THIS EPISODE https://nuchido.co.uk/ use code ‘ANGELA10’ at check out https://www.instagram.com/drnicholaconlon/?hl=en 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.angelafosteracademy.com/female-Biohacker-collective 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 Nichola Conlon is a molecular biologist specialising in the study of cellular ageing.

Continuing with the theme of hormones in this bitesize episode Angela looks at the neuropeptide hormone, kisspeptin and the vital role it plays in fasting There is a common misconception that the more fasting you do the better but as a woman, it’s all about hormonal balance and Angela explains how kisspeptin works and shares a short clip from her interview with Dr Stacey Sims, who shares invaluable information on the importance for women of taking into account hormonal balance when fasting KEY TAKEAWAYS The neuropeptide kisspeptin is really important in the context of fasting To go into full cellular autophagy takes anyway between 24 and 48 hours depending on the individual Exercise is a powerful tool in stimulating autophagy Intermittent fasting and keto are more of an elimination diet If you are layering exercise and intermittent fasting it will take you above the stress level that a woman’s body should be in Kisspeptin is responsible for turning the endocrine system on and off One of the by-products of the conversion of oestrogen is more cortisol BEST MOMENTS ‘Pre-fuelling with essential amino acids can be very positive’ ‘The whole hormonal aspect of what's happening is so far removed from what a man would experience’ ‘You need to think about your diet and exercise together’ RESOURCES FOR THIS EPISODE Become an insider - Join The Female Biohacker Collective for monthly masterclasses, biohacking challenges and a biohacking book club at https://angelafoster.me/biohacker HPH podcast episode 94 Dr Stacey Sims 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.angelafosteracademy.com/female-Biohacker-collective 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.

He discusses why healing past trauma is a vital part of optimising your life and overcoming limiting beliefs and explains how anyone can take action and achieve the life they want KEY TAKEAWAYS People don’t typically take action because of limiting beliefs and not understanding why Flow states are incredibly healing, creative and are the place where we can connect from our unconscious with the quantum realm In the flow state, it’s possible to create the future and resolve the past.

The unconscious doesn’t want to change, it has to be overridden If we don’t make the unconscious conscious, history will repeat itself and we will call it fate We are connected to everything and we are all contributing to the quantum realm Start with where you are at, with what you have and do the best you can and ask for help BEST MOMENTS ‘A person has to know what they truly want and have a plan to get there’ ‘I calendar time for everything and what’s on the calendar is achieved’ ‘I’m a seeker and I want to experience as much as I can while I’m on this planet’ ‘There is the emotional trauma that is now conscious and being rescripted’ RESOURCES FOR THIS EPISODE Athletic Greens.com/Angela foster https://Angelafoster.me/biohacker https://www.facebook.com/TroyOldsCoaching/ www.troyolds.com 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.angelafosteracademy.com/female-Biohacker-collective 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 Troy Olds is a coach and entrepreneur who helps people get clarity about what they really want to experience in their lives and a plan to get it.

Ashao Freesky is passionate about helping parent-preneurs create more time and reclaim magic moments with their family as they build their businesses He talks with Angela about some of the ways you can effectively change your work pattern and be focused and present for activities and time throughout your day when you have the right mindset When you plan, schedule and are intentional with your attention time can be more productive and you claim back time to spend with your family, listen in and hear Ashao’s invaluable advice KEY TAKEAWAYS We are energy-based beings and when we deplete our energy, time becomes depleted because of our lack of energy Time without energy and attention is meaningless Being intentional about time and not fracturing it, giving yourself time for renewal is crucial Context switching brings a new set of rules that you need to reorientate yourself to and attention residue happens when you continually switch from one task to another It’s being intentional about how you structure your day and schedule activities When you have scheduled a time for each activity it means you can be focused, intentional and present for the task you are working on The concept of diminishing and negative returns means more time can lead to less output because of your depletion of energy You can start small with any new behaviour and build a habit that can grow When you have larger amounts of time that are not fractured you can achieve more I plan my week to include maker time and manager time, maker time is high-value deep work time and manager time is communication and meetings that support the high-value work Making sure you get an adequate amount of sleep is crucial along with movement throughout the day as this keeps your energy high BEST MOMENTS ‘It starts with having the right mindset’ ‘I like to front load my day with the most important tasks’ ‘I’ve learned to flow more in the middle and start the day with a chunk of time for myself’ ‘You are going to build your business by creating a team and not thinking you have to do it all yourself’ RESOURCES FOR THIS EPISODE https://doubleyourtimeoff.com/?partnersource=AngelaFoster 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.angelafosteracademy.com/female-Biohacker-collective 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.
