From her interview with Jolene Brighten, Angela presents a biohack episode dedicated to helping you better understand the menstrual cycle and the struggles it can raise by focussing upon what a normal period should look like.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
If your period is so painful that interrupts the activities you perform as part of daily living, then there is a problem somewhere, and you need to be checked out.
The period and the menstrual cycle are different entities, but they do go together hand in hand. You cannot judge one based upon the other.

BEST MOMENTS 

'Periods shouldn't be so painful that you have to pop a pharmaceutical'

'A period, for a woman is her own lived experience'

Bitesize Biohack: Is This Normal? Periods, Birth Control and PCOS with Dr Jolene Brighten

Angela is joined again by Kate Muir, to discuss the complexities of midlife, focusing on hormones, brain health, and mental well-being. They discuss the misconceptions surrounding hormone therapy, emphasising the benefits of bioidentical hormones compared to synthetic options, and highlight the significant risks associated with obesity and alcohol consumption. Kate and Angela also touch on the importance of lifestyle changes, such as exercise and nutrition, in managing menopause symptoms.



KEY TAKEAWAYS
Hormone Therapy and Risks: Body-identical hormone therapy, especially estrogen, can lower breast cancer risks, unlike older synthetic options.
Mental Health and Hormones: Hormonal shifts during menopause impact mental well-being, with a strong correlation between low estrogen and increased anxiety or depression.
Bone and Muscle Health: Estrogen helps preserve bone density, essential to preventing osteoporosis. Women should also focus on strength training and protein intake.
Diet and Supplements: High-protein diets, creatine, and supplements like sulforaphane support brain health and offset hormone declines.
Awareness in Younger Women: Early education on bone health and hormone impacts could improve lifelong well-being.
Preventing Exploitation: Be cautious of “menopause-targeted” products with questionable benefits, like "menopause chocolate."

Angela examinesthe pervasive issue of microplastics and nanoplastics, summarizing key insights from recent discussions by experts Rhonda Patrick and Andrew Hoopman.

Angela highlights the various sources of microplastics in our environment, including plastic water bottles, food packaging, and household products, while emphasising the importance of minimising exposure.

MAIN TAKEAWAYS


Minimize Microplastic Exposure: While microplastics are everywhere, small changes can help reduce daily exposure.


Primary Sources: Items like plastic bottles, packaging, and textiles are major sources; switch to safer alternatives when possible.


Health Impacts: Microplastics carry chemicals like BPA that can disrupt hormones, affecting fertility, mood, and energy levels.


Crossing Biological Barriers: Microplastics can penetrate barriers like the blood-brain barrier, raising concerns for organ and brain health.


Simple Home Changes: Using glass or stainless steel for storage, limiting canned goods, and avoiding plastic bottles can reduce exposure.


Support Detox: High-fiber foods and antioxidants help the body eliminate toxins associated with microplastics.


Sweating Matters: Saunas, exercise, or hot baths help release toxins attached to microplastics.


Use HEPA Filters: HEPA filters, natural fibers, and non-toxic household products reduce microplastic particles at home.



TIMESTAMPS & KEY TOPICS 
00:00 – Impact of microplastics on health
02:27 – Sources of microplastics in daily life
06:50 – Hormonal disruption from microplastics
08:42 – Biological barriers microplastics can cross
11:25 – Practical steps to minimize exposure
16:45 – Safe cookware recommendations
21:32 – Detox pathways: fiber, antioxidants, and sulforaphane
25:45 – Benefits of sweating and detox practices
28:50 – Household products and air filters for reducing exposure

Bitesize: Microplastics & BPA - Minimising Exposure, Safe Cookware & Detox Tips

Angela is joined by Michael Gervais, an expert in mastery, to explore the profound impact of identity and thoughtfulness in personal and professional growth. They discuss the concept of mastery as a commitment to artistic expression at the edge of one's capabilities, emphasising the importance of being present and aware in everyday life.

Michael also shares insights from his extensive interviews with top performers, highlighting the distinction between striving to be the best versus being one's best.



MAIN TAKEAWAYS

Purpose-Based Identity: A purpose-oriented identity offers deeper satisfaction than a performance-focused identity, allowing individuals to align with their core values.
Living in the Present: Mindfulness practices like journaling, meditation, and self-reflection ground us in the present moment, helping reduce anxiety and improve focus.
Managing FOPO (Fear of Other People's Opinions): Recognizing the spotlight effect helps release social pressures and reduces the fear of judgment, allowing authentic self-expression.
Importance of Recovery: Recovery isn’t just physical but also psychological, allowing us to approach challenges with a refreshed perspective.

0:05 - Intro to mindfulness and self-awareness
2:27 - Introduction to Dr. Michael Gervais
