High Performance Health

Angela shares a clip from an interview with Lucas Aoun - Australia's leading biohacker - in which he shares vital hacks designed to boost neurotransmission, enabling you to better focus upon tasks and see them through to completion. KEY TAKEAWAYS When looking to optimising dopamine, combining with B Vitamins can lead to a greater generation of dopamine within the brain. Bromantine can have profound effects upon stress and sleep deprivation, and can aid in relieving stress after the effects of overwork. BEST MOMENTS 'We combine this with B vitamins, which can help with synthesis' 'It's Russia's first synthetic adaptogen ever developed' 'We're getting a long term beneficial effect' VALUABLE RESOURCES Take My Biohacking Quiz and Get A Free Personalised Report - www.yourtotalhealthcheck.comBecome an Insider of The Female Biohacker Collective and have Angela as Your Health Coach in Your Pocket - www.femalebiohacker.comFree Fasting Guide - www.angelafosterperformance.com/fastingPodcast Shownotes - www.angelafosterperformance.com/podcastsThanks to our Sponsor: Bon Charge -  Get 20% off at www.boncharge.com/AngelaEpisode 128 - https://omny.fm/shows/high-performance-health/nootropics-and-biohacking-your-brain-with-australi ABOUT THE GUEST Lucas is Australia's leading biohacker, with over 7 years of experience researching and experimenting with Nootropics and other performance-enhancing compounds.

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

In 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.

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 ANGELA10UK 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.comBecome an Insider of The Female Biohacker Collective and have Angela as Your Health Coach in Your Pocket - www.femalebiohacker.comFree Fasting Guide - www.angelafosterperformance.com/fastingPodcast Shownotes - www.angelafosterperformance.com/podcastsThanks to our Sponsor: Bon Charge - Get 20% off at www.boncharge.com/Angela ABOUT THE GUEST 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.comBecome an Insider of The Female Biohacker Collective and have Angela as Your Health Coach in Your Pocket - www.femalebiohacker.comFree Fasting Guide - www.angelafosterperformance.com/fastingPodcast Shownotes - www.angelafosterperformance.com/podcasts:Thanks to our Sponsor: Bon Charge -  Get 20% off at www.boncharge.com/angela using coupon code ANGELA20 ABOUT THE GUEST Adam Parker is an executive wellness & performance coach, speaker and host of the top rated ‘Ideal Day Podcast’, where he collaborates with the world’s most respected minds in health, wellness and personal growth.

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

In a special teaser preview of an upcoming interview with Mr Noots - the chief product officer for Nootopia - the conversation centres around sleep optimisation, and particularly how to enhance the health of the brain and the liver, so that you can remain primed for high performance, as well as how to better enhance REM sleep. KEY TAKEAWAYS At night, our bodies perform a removal process - the brain shrinks and opens up around the capillary wall so as to allow spinal fluid to remove detritus. Alzheimer's and dementia are not created in the brain from plaques. The plaques are created through liver function as a result of us not being able to go through the cleansing cycle. BEST MOMENTS 'We need to look at detoxifying, naturally and organically, leveraging our body's own detoxification process so that we can get to the same levels of clarity that we had when we were eight years old' 'We've created a thing called dream optimiser, which dramatically amplifies REM sleep' RESOURCES FOR THIS EPISODE 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.

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. BEST MOMENTS 'The microbiome is centrally involved in this equation' 'Many of the studies come from research that we have done' 'There's no one size fits all when it comes to nutrition' 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.

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.
