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.com Become an Insider of The Female Biohacker Collective and have Angela as Your Health Coach in Your Pocket - www.femalebiohacker.com Free Fasting Guide - www.angelafosterperformance.com/fasting Podcast Shownotes - www.angelafosterperformance.com/podcasts Thanks to our Sponsor: Bon Charge - Get 20% off at www.boncharge.com/Angela ABOUT THE GUEST Barton Scott is a biochemist and founder.

In a special teaser of her upcoming conversation with Barton Scott - in which Angela and her guest go through some extraordinary results stemming from mineral testing and hair tissue - listen as Barton explains how our nutrition can create our psychology, and why mineral balance is so critical to the health of our body and brain. KEY TAKEAWAYS When you're low, you search out methods of feeling better - whether that comprises stimulants or exercise. Your nutrient levels have a direct impact upon the way you feel. This was proven for Angela when she was placed on a sodium drip, and instantly felt a sense of peace. BEST MOMENTS 'I would have these incredible highs where I would feel like Super Woman' 'The bipolar swings correlate with swings in nutrition' 'The bigger the high the bigger the low' VALUABLE RESOURCES Take My Biohacking Quiz and Get A Free Personalised Report - www.yourtotalhealthcheck.com Become an Insider of The Female Biohacker Collective and have Angela as Your Health Coach in Your Pocket - www.femalebiohacker.com Free Fasting Guide - www.angelafosterperformance.com/fasting Podcast Shownotes - www.angelafosterperformance.com/podcasts Thanks 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. The app has been designed to allow customers to order custom formulations, each balanced to provide a specifically tailored response or antidote to certain moods or conditions. BEST MOMENTS 'The challenge is that once the drug is over, you fall off a performance cliff' 'We can formulate specifically for you' 'We need the joy of discovery' 'Go from frustration to problem solving. Go from being an a**hole to being a sweetheart' RESOURCES FOR THIS EPISODE Nootopia - http://www.nootopia.com/angela Get 10% off Nootopia with  code ANGELA10 UK Listeners - get 10% off Nootopia at bioptimizers.uk/angela Worldwide Listeners - get 10% off Nootopia at www.nootopia.com/angela VALUABLE RESOURCES Take My Biohacking Quiz and Get A Free Personalised Report - www.yourtotalhealthcheck.com Become an Insider of The Female Biohacker Collective and have Angela as Your Health Coach in Your Pocket - www.femalebiohacker.com Free Fasting Guide - www.angelafosterperformance.com/fasting Podcast Shownotes - www.angelafosterperformance.com/podcasts Thanks to our Sponsor: Bon Charge - Get 20% off at www.boncharge.com/Angela 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.

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.com Become an Insider of The Female Biohacker Collective and have Angela as Your Health Coach in Your Pocket - www.femalebiohacker.com Free Fasting Guide - www.angelafosterperformance.com/fasting Podcast 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 MrNoots@nootopia.com 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.

KEY TAKEAWAYS You received from the world what you give out. if you're exuding positivity and effectiveness, then you'll reap those things in return. If we exclude thoughts about we don't wish to see or become, then we inevitably become the positive things we focus upon. You can access the subconscious mind, but it take effort and dedication. There is no quick fix. Once you reach it, the rewards are exponentially abundant. When we discover the hacks and techniques that improve our day, it creates real passion. They key to communicating it effectively to others, is to activate that same level of passion in them, and show them what is possible. BEST MOMENTS 'What you put out, you'll get back' 'People who are successful don't listen to the outside noise.

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.

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.

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. BEST MOMENTS 'It's about setting yourself up to win' 'Clarity gives power' 'There are going to be barriers because your subconscious mind has been trained to that' 'It's incredible what you can achieve' 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 Dan Matthews Episode - https://omny.fm/shows/high-performance-health/141-hph Peter Sage Episode - https://omny.fm/shows/high-performance-health/master-your-inner-game-with-peter-sage Michael Juergens Episode - https://omny.fm/shows/high-performance-health/155-hph Brian Keane Episode - https://omny.fm/shows/high-performance-health/mastering-your-mindset-for-real-lasting-fat-loss-w ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster Angela is a Nutritionist, Health, and Performance Coach.

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. BEST MOMENTS 'If you need to start or tweak something, then doing it as early as possible is going to be better in terms of efficacy' 'I refer to it as the most important molecule that you've never heard of' 'You have three defence lines when you are not eating' 'It's a stress on the body that increases cortisol' 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 Kyle Gillett Episode - https://omny.fm/shows/high-performance-health/optimise-your-hormones-menopause-transition-with-d Nichola Conlon Episode - https://omny.fm/shows/high-performance-health/impact-and-optimise-your-longevity-and-biological Dr Antoun Episode - https://omny.fm/shows/high-performance-health/optimising-fasting-longevity-with-dr-joseph-antoun Stacy Sims Episode - https://omny.fm/shows/high-performance-health/science-backed-training-sleeping-and-fasting-proto ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster Angela is a Nutritionist, Health, and Performance Coach.

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.

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. Steve also explains why little changes made over time to your diet and exercise can have a significant compounding effect bringing health and happiness KEY TAKEAWAYS There is a great synergistic effect with being twins and we always knew we’d be working together, it’s exciting and wonderful The business has gone in lots of different directions and its given us meaning and purpose Adversity and resistance are part of the process of getting to where you want to be. You have to trust and believe in what you are doing When you really want something and are committed to achieving it you will find a way It's hugely beneficial for us to mix up our training and physical exercise In terms of food, we are all a product of our environment and those in blue zones typically don’t have a proliferation of junk foods They don’t typically live long healthy lives because they’ve won the genetic lottery or are superhuman it’s because their environment forces them to make the healthy choice   We are hardwired to crave high-fat and processed foods, it’s within us. 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.
