High Performance Health

Angela talks to the remarkable Julie Gibson Clark, who’s achieved high rankings on the Rejuvenation Olympics leaderboard, focusing on reversing her biological age through lifestyle choices. Julie delves into her early experiences with nutrition and the impact it had on her performance as a young swimmer, as well as her transition to a healthier lifestyle in her thirties, including naturopathic interventions and the role of nutraceuticals in improving her well-being. Julie also emphasises the importance of intuition in guiding her health decisions and highlights the significance of a nutrient-rich diet, regular exercise routine, and daily meditation practice in maintaining her overall health and longevity. KEY TAKEAWAYS Prioritise self-care and establish a routine that includes meditation, exercise, and healthy eating habits to manage stress and promote overall well-being. Listen to your body and intuition, adjusting your lifestyle and routines as needed to maintain balance and health. Consistency is key, even when faced with challenges such as parenting or health issues, finding ways to adapt and stay committed to self-care practices. Incorporate mindfulness practices like meditation to improve sleep quality and reduce stress, even in the midst of busy or challenging times. Flexibility and grace are essential in balancing self-care with responsibilities, allowing for adjustments in routines to accommodate changing circumstances. BEST MOMENTS "I was lucky that I was a swimmer and then we had to do weights as part of swimming. When you start seeing the results, you're like, whoa, okay, I'm going to stick to this." "I love transcendental meditation. I thought I was trying to teach myself meditation for years." "It's similar, isn't it, to Vedic meditation, where you use a mantra. For anyone who's doubting this around meditation and thinking, do I have time?"

Based in Phoenix, Arizona, this single mother competes on a budget of under $150 per month. Despite her modest budget, Julie's biohacking routine is refreshingly simple: a focus on mindset, regular exercise, sauna sessions, a vegetable-rich diet, and a selection of affordable supplements. Her recent DNA methylation test revealed a remarkable aging pace of just 65 days for every 100 days, highlighting that significant longevity benefits are achievable without substantial expense. Julie’s results demonstrate that effective biohacking for longevity can be accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial status. Julie looks forward to sharing more with you about her daily routine and the practices that helped her achieve such impressive results.

Angela is joined by Claire Bailey to talk about the importance of monitoring and reducing visceral fat for overall health, particularly as individuals age. They look into the risks associated with visceral fat, such as inflammation, insulin resistance, and the development of diabetes. Claire highlights the potential for reversing damage caused by visceral fat through weight loss and dietary changes, emphasising the benefits of targeting visceral fat for improved health outcomes KEY TAKEAWAYS Reduction in visceral fat is crucial, especially for women going through perimenopause, as it can lead to health risks like diabetes. Visceral fat wraps around organs, causing inflammation and insulin resistance, but can be reversed through weight loss and draining fat from the liver and pancreas. Monitoring visceral fat is essential as it can be an early warning sign of metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and even certain types of cancer. Getting into ketosis by burning fat as fuel instead of sugar, through a low-carb Mediterranean-style diet and rapid weight loss, can help reverse insulin resistance and flatten the glucose curve. Including pulses, whole grains, and fibre in the diet can support the microbiome and make the nutrition plan sustainable and accessible for long-term health benefits BEST MOMENTS "Visceral fat is the fat that as you put on weight and particularly if you tend to eat a sort of rather sugary starchy diet, it invades the gut and wraps around the organs and affects particularly the liver and the pancreas." "There's very interesting research by Professor Roy Taylor who shows very clearly using scans that if you can drain that fat from the liver, the pancreas and around the central part of your body, visceral fat, you can actually reverse that damage." "It alerts you because every time you sit down you feel like your skirt or your trousers or your jeans are a little bit tight and so it's a reminder I think." "I think it's very important because the longer your blood sugar and the higher, the longer it lasts for, it's during that time that it's doing the damage."

Angela engages in a frank and candid conversation with the great Andy Ramage, who shares his journey of giving up alcohol and the positive impact it had on his life. Andy discusses his personal experience of transitioning from a high-paced, alcohol-fuelled lifestyle to one focused on health, fitness, and personal growth. He highlights the importance of building healthy habits, setting goals, and staying committed to change, as well as emphasising the significance of overcoming ambivalence towards alcohol and creating a compelling future without it. KEY TAKEAWAYS Encouraging the adoption of healthy behaviours and habits, such as exercise and journaling, can create a positive loop of motivation and success. Recognising that setbacks and failures are a natural part of the journey towards change can help individuals bounce back stronger and continue on their path. By setting clear goals and values, individuals can train their brains to filter out information that aligns with their aspirations, leading to more focused and purposeful actions. Utilising alcohol-free alternatives in social situations can help individuals feel more comfortable and confident while socialising without alcohol. BEST MOMENTS "Life had plateaued a little bit. I'd got early onset heart disease I'd just discovered. My relationships were somewhat strained and it was a real awakening of Actually, what are we all doing? This is nuts." "I think it's ambivalence, that love-hate relationship in our brain with alcohol, which most people carry. So there's that moment of awareness of, actually, I think this is not serving me anymore." "When we can get so caught up in the steps, and that is a necessary part of it, like you say, you have to do the work, but you also have to switch your mind on to what's important."

He believes that 70% of people in the UK are underperforming in life because of their alcohol habits, without even realising it, from health and fitness, to business, work, to relationships.....everything. Former professional footballer and founder of two major stock brokerages, Andy Ramage recently celebrated his 10-year alcohol-free anniversary , something that he has charted along the way, inspiring thousands of others to do the same. He's been described as the 'Godfather' of the alcohol-free world after initially founding the One Year, No Beer campaign which has helped thousands and still runs today. Two years ago he also co-founded the Dryy app which already has more than 20,000 members. He's a senior trainer with the Professional Footballers' Association, where he shares his mindset, business and life wisdom with the country's top young footballers to help them achieve peak performance throughout their career, fulfill their potential and enjoy life. He also trains alcohol-free coaches through his treble accredited programme.

Angela presents a very special recording of her highly popular appearance at the Health Optimisation Summit, in which she discussed the importance of optimising health for high performance, focusing on three key aspects: syncing the biological rhythms, stepping into personal power, and mastering self-reflection. The episode explores the significance of respecting circadian biology, managing stress through recovery, and aligning actions with core values to achieve goals KEY TAKEAWAYS Struggling with burnout is common, especially among women in leadership positions. Optimising circadian rhythms, managing stress, and prioritising recovery are crucial for high performance and health. Heart rate variability can provide insights into stress levels and recovery needs. Setting clear goals, focusing on the process, and celebrating small wins are essential for achieving success. Living in alignment with values, finding flow, and practicing self-care are key to mastering the mirror and stepping into power. BEST MOMENTS "More than 10 million UK employees take time out because of burnout. Burnout costs UK businesses about 700 million a year." "I was a corporate lawyer for many years, pulling all-nighters, weekends of work. What was circadian rhythm? I didn't really respect that." "Within 48 hours of me making that decision, my white blood cell count started to rise. The magic was happening." "Heart rate variability lowers in the luteal phase and in perimenopause and generally with aging. So we may feel less resilient to stress."

Dr Libby Weaver Nutritional, biochemist and multiple best-selling author talks with Angela about the three pillars of biochemical, nutritional and emotional which underpin her work and why our beliefs and perception drive our behaviours. When we make choices about foods that don’t serve us it’s never about the food it’s the way we distance ourselves from the way we perceive things are when they are not how we want them to be and this fascinating episode explores how the combination of science, belief systems and nutrition is key in achieving effortless weight loss. KEY TAKEAWAYS There are consequences to shifts in our bio-chemistry There is no one way for everyone to eat because everyone is different. What everyone should do is eat a diet that is based on real wholefoods The focus needs to be on creating good energy and nourishment Detoxification is a process that is always going on inside of us but can be impacted by lifestyle choices Detoxification is a change process; the liver takes toxic substances  and changes them so that they become harmless Eating a wide range of whole real foods supports the liver with detoxification Constantly elevated stress levels start to change the fuel the body perceives as being safe to use When the body is under stress it looks for a fast-burning fuel and it looks to glucose. The pattern of adrenalin production  today has resulted in inflammatory compounds  in the body High levels of adrenalin create inflammation and cortisol has to increase to deal with this Your body responds to the information you give it Our actions are driven by our beliefs and how we perceive ourselves We construct ourselves and live as if we need approval and in unpacking the beliefs you have created you need to be flexible about how others perceive you You have to do the inner work if you want to make changes to your beliefs It’s never about the food its always about the emotions Humans will do more to avoid pain than gain pleasure Ask yourself if what you are thinking is really true? BEST MOMENTS ‘Every single second there are billions of biochemical reactions going on inside of us that create how we feel, function and look’ ‘We are completely governed by how we feel’ ‘Life can be incredibly challenging and simultaneously mind-blowingly magnificent’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Get a free snapshot of your health and personalised report at www.yourtotalhealthcheck.com Join The High Performance Health CommunityUse ANGELA15 to save 15% on Primeadine Spermidine at angelafoster.me/primeadine ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster is an award winning Nutritionist, Health & Performance Coach, Speaker and Host of the High Performance Health podcast.

Angela is joined by Andrew Steele, to talk about the world of vitamin supplements and anti-aging compounds, exploring the scientific evidence behind their effectiveness. The discussion covers the antioxidant theory, the role of free radicals in aging, and the potential impact of supplements like vitamin C, vitamin E, NMN, and rapamycin on lifespan. KEY TAKEAWAYS Vitamin C and E, known for their antioxidant properties, have shown minimal or negative effects on lifespan in studies. While antioxidants were once thought to combat free radicals and slow aging, free radicals also serve important functions in the body, such as signalling and immune defence. Limited evidence for specific anti-aging compounds: Compounds like NMN and NR have shown mixed results in human and mouse trials, with no strong evidence supporting their effectiveness in aging. Studies in mice have demonstrated that rapamycin can extend lifespan, even when administered later in life, showing potential as an anti-aging intervention. BEST MOMENTS "Vitamin C, for example, doesn't have any effect on lifespan. Vitamin E can actually reduce your lifespan, albeit very slightly, based on the results coming from these studies." "We now know that it's not quite as simple as that antioxidant theory would imply." "Rapamycin extended their lifespan anyway. They lived about 10% longer than mice that weren't given the drug."

For this special REPLAY episode, Angela welcomes back Dr Neil Paulvin back to the show, to talk about the latest in longevity science and transformational therapies - including biohacks such as spermidine, how to reverse our biological age, NAD and peptides - as well as much, much more. KEY TAKEAWAYS Women need progesterone and oestrogen for muscle building and brain health, cognition, energy and more. Recent research has suggested that delaying menopause may work to serve health in these terms. The key to longevity and long term health lies in the "Core 4" - sleep, exercise, diet and stress management. Circadian rhythm in particular can markedly affect the immune system. For women in their forties, the decade in age itself is one of the busiest. Families are being raised if they've had children, career demands are at an all-time high. Energy demands are very high, and hormonal disruption is taking place. Mitochondrial health is crucial. SS31 was founded by two scientists and hangs on the inner membrane of the mitochondria, and has been found to be a very good antioxidant. It also has been found to have an anti-inflammatory component, and can help with tendonitis. BEST MOMENTS 'When we look at menopause, it brings with it potential adversities in terms of health' 'Sleep is when we recycle our hormones and increase the number of hormones we need' 'This has the most hallmark checks of any product in the world' 'I do believe in higher doses of both to get the real benefit of it' VALUABLE RESOURCES Get a free snapshot of your health and personalised report at www.yourtotalhealthcheck.com Join The High Performance Health CommunityFree Fasting Guide - www.angelafosterperformance.com/fastingPodcast Shownotes - www.angelafosterperformance.com/podcasts Use ANGELA15 to save 15% on Primeadine Spermidine at angelafoster.me/primeadine ABOUT THE GUEST Dr. Neil Paulvin is a multiple board-certified physician with certifications in Family Medicine, Osteopathic Manipulation, and Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine.  His practice in Manhattan combines traditional and alternative medicine to help patients live a healthy lifestyle and perform at their best.  He has helped Fortune 500 executives, Olympic athletes, top trainers, and A-list celebrities optimize their health, recover faster from injury, and improve their sports performance.  Dr. Paulvin is an expert in peptide therapy, sports medicine, mitochondrial health, Bioidentical Hormone therapy, Longevity Medicine, and the brain-gut connection.

Angela and special guest, Simon Alexander Ong discuss the concept of navigating the challenging "messy middle" phase when pursuing goals. They emphasise the importance of embracing the journey, detaching from specific outcomes, and adapting to unforeseen obstacles. They also highlight the non-linear nature of progress, likening it to different seasons in life where varying challenges and growth opportunities arise KEY TAKEAWAYS Embrace the messy middle of any journey, as plans may deviate and unexpected obstacles may arise. Focus on falling in love with the journey and detach from the outcome to adapt methods and processes as needed. Recognise that there is no perfect straight line in any path and that progress may not always be linear. Understand that reality is subjective and perception determines our reality, allowing us to choose new thoughts to re-engineer our choices. Choose to view life through a positive lens, believing that the universe is conspiring in your favour, to have a more productive and positive response to unexpected events. BEST MOMENTS "I think it's a case of reminding ourselves of some basic facts that we tend to forget when we're on that journey. It's very messy in the middle." "No plan would have had that in their projections. And so I think when we consider the messy middle, first we got to realise that any plan we put together is always going to not go 100% to plan." "There is no perfect straight line in any path." "We all go through different seasons of our life, just like we go through different seasons of a year."

Angela welcomes back Dr Lara Briden, to talk about her new book, "Metabolism Repair for Women" and the impact of modern food supply and environmental toxins on metabolism, particularly in women. Dr Briden delves into the concept of insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction, highlighting the intergenerational effects and the role of epigenetics, as well as various indicators of insulin resistance, including symptoms like constant hunger and weight gain around the middle. KEY TAKEAWAYS Metabolic dysfunction, such as insulin resistance, is influenced by factors like modern food supply, environmental toxins, and genetic predispositions passed down through generations. Common symptoms of insulin resistance include feeling hungry all the time, gaining weight around the middle, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, fatty liver, skin tags, and blood sugar fluctuations. Dr Briden recommends key nutritional supplements for improving metabolic health, including magnesium, taurine, choline, inositol, and glycine, which can help with insulin sensitivity, nervous system balance, and overall health. The autonomic nervous system plays a crucial role in metabolic health, and strategies to support it include stress management techniques, outdoor light exposure, human connection, and regular ovulation for women. Berberine, similar to metformin, can improve insulin sensitivity and reduce metabolic endotoxemia, making it a potential supplement for addressing gut health and blood glucose control BEST MOMENTS "Something bad has happened in the environment and the food supply."  "This problem is a combination of food supply and environmental toxins."  "I think it's really important to recognise that what works for someone isn't necessarily going to work for somebody else."

Angela and special guest, Nate Palmer, explore topics such as carb backloading, post-exercise refueling, and the importance of weight training for women's health. They also share insights on how to improve Lumen scores and the impact of factors like hydration and meal timing on metabolic flexibility. KEY TAKEAWAYS Refueling post-exercise by consuming carbohydrates at the end of the day can optimise the body's natural storage and use of glycogen for energy rather than fat stores. Avoiding high-intensity interval-style workouts, especially for women in their 40s and beyond, can be beneficial for hormonal function, bone density, and overall health. Incorporating protein and carbs post-workout, especially after glycogen-depleting workouts, can aid in recovery and energy levels. Eating earlier in the night, staying hydrated, and avoiding late-night meals can help improve Lumen scores and shift the body into fat-burning mode BEST MOMENTS "You're optimising for your body's natural storage and you're using that glycogen for energy rather than for fat stores." "I think women associate it's workout equals bootcamp. I think we need to start breaking that stigma because I think for a lot of women, especially as we enter menopause and are getting a little bit older, it becomes very important to work on the weight training workouts."  "Weight training is something where women in particular really need to focus. And I think a bit of plyo to help with bone density but not as much as people think." "I've always thought that you have like an hour, 60-minute window after your workout that if you don't drink a protein shake, all of your gains are going to shrivel up and die."

Angela and special guest, Dr Efrat LaMandre meet to discuss the importance of functional medicine in addressing health issues that conventional medicine may overlook. Dr LaMandre shares the personal journey that led her to question traditional medical practices and explore alternative approaches. They delves into topics such as the impact of inflammation on chronic conditions, the role of nutrition in health, and the complexities of mould toxicity. Dr. LaMandre emphasises the individualised nature of health and the need to consider factors like detoxification pathways and genetic predispositions when addressing health concerns. KEY TAKEAWAYS Mould toxicity can affect individuals differently, with symptoms ranging from respiratory issues to autoimmune conditions, making it challenging to diagnose. Understanding the body's detoxification process is crucial in addressing mould toxicity, as an overload of toxins can lead to storage in fat cells, impacting overall health. Genetic predispositions can play a role in how individuals react to mould exposure, with some individuals being more susceptible to certain health issues. Removing oneself from a mould-infested environment is the first step in addressing mould toxicity, followed by supporting the body's detoxification pathways with targeted supplements. The impact of mould toxicity on health can vary, with some individuals experiencing systemic issues while others may exhibit specific symptoms related to their genetic makeup and detoxification abilities. BEST MOMENTS “If you are someone who's listening right now and you're just not feeling well, I want you to know that you are just pre-disease." “Mould is a bigger deal than people are even willing to admit and conventional medicine washes its hands of it completely. And that's a huge mistake." "The gene loads the gun, the environment pulls the trigger."

Angela and special guest, Dr Izabella Wentz discuss the importance of removing gluten from the diet, particularly for individuals with leaky gut, celiac disease, Hashimoto's antibodies, and subclinical hypothyroidism. Dr Wentz shares her clinical experience and personal journey of eliminating gluten and dairy, leading to significant improvements in symptoms such as brain fog, fatigue, weight gain, and digestive issues. KEY TAKEAWAYS Removing gluten from the diet can have significant benefits for individuals with celiac disease, Hashimoto's antibodies, and subclinical hypothyroidism. Even without celiac disease, many individuals with Hashimoto's report feeling better off gluten, experiencing improvements in symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, weight gain, and digestive issues. Gluten sensitivity may lead to a case of mistaken identity where the body reacts to gluten proteins that cross-react with the thyroid gland, potentially exacerbating thyroid issues. Addressing underlying issues like a protozoal parasite (such as blastocystis hominis) or supporting the body post-pregnancy with specific supplements like carnitine and alfalfa can lead to improvements in food sensitivities and overall health. BEST MOMENTS "So, in some cases, there might be a case of mistaken identity if the body is reacting to the gluten molecule for whatever reason. It may also react to the thyroid gland." "I was like, wait a minute, And I was like, where did these ads come from like I'm not bloated. And my reflex went away and the carpal tunnel and the IBS and I was like, holy cow” "I know quite a lot of people that feel gluten sensitive and this would apply to me, they don't really have any gluten unless it's in sourdough bread."

Angela welcomes Dr. Emily Leeming, a research fellow at King's College London, to discuss the fascinating connection between the gut microbiome and brain health. Dr. Leeming shares insights on the impact of stress on the microbiome, the importance of fibre and diverse foods for gut health, and the role of omega-3 in mental well-being. They also look at topics such as the production of short-chain fatty acids by gut bacteria, the influence of diet on mental health conditions like depression and ADHD, and the potential benefits of post-biotics. KEY TAKEAWAYS Eating foods rich in fibre and polyphenols, such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, can support the gut microbiome and brain health. Consuming omega-3 fatty acids from sources like oily fish can help prevent cognitive decline and support mental health. Chronic stress can negatively affect the gut microbiome, leading to inflammation and other health issues. The impact of artificial sweeteners on the gut microbiome is still being researched, with varying results depending on the type and dose. The gut microbiome can produce a wide range of metabolites, emphasising the importance of consuming a diverse range of foods to support gut health. BEST MOMENTS "So the microbiome really means all the microbes that we're covered in. So we're covered in microbes inside and out." “That was one of the key things that I took away from the book when I was reading it." "I think with the research where we know it at the moment in terms of the menopause, with taking soy foods and phytoestrogens is that it's very much on an individual basis."

Angela presents a biohack episode alongside previous guest, Christa Biegler, delving into the intricate relationship between thyroid health and overall hormonal balance, particularly focusing on the ovarian-adrenal-thyroid axis (OAT axis). They focus on the critical role of adrenal function in hormone production and stress response, highlighting the impact of cortisol on various bodily functions. KEY TAKEAWAYS Understanding the ovarian adrenal thyroid axis (OAT axis) is crucial as it involves the production of sex hormones, aldosterone, DHEA, and cortisol, which play vital roles in blood pressure, blood sugar, and stress response. The adrenal glands are essential for hormone production, especially cortisol, the "darling stress hormone," which affects energy levels, blood flow, and overall organ function. The thyroid is closely linked to metabolism, with symptoms such as fatigue, hair loss, feeling cold, and mental health issues like depression and anxiety indicating potential thyroid dysfunction. Pregnancy and postpartum periods can increase the demand for thyroid nutrients, leading to more thyroid-related symptoms like sluggish motility, fungal overgrowth, and dry skin. Recognising and addressing thyroid symptoms is crucial, as they can impact various bodily systems and functions, highlighting the interconnected nature of hormonal health. BEST MOMENTS "If you don't have cortisol, you die. It's the most essential. And so that one is almost at the top of the triangle to me." "I always think your symptoms matter more than your lab results because there's nothing more frustrating to a woman." "The top thyroid symptoms, which I did not resonate with, I resonated with different ones." "When you're pregnant and postpartum, your thyroid needs, the nutrients for the thyroid go up dramatically, of course, right?"

Angela welcomes special guest, Karen Martel, to talk about hormones, menopause, and women's health. Karen and Angela delve into the misconceptions surrounding oestrogen and hormone replacement therapy, emphasising the importance of understanding the benefits of hormone replacement for women's overall health. They also touch on the significance of testosterone and DHEA in women's health, highlighting the potential impact on energy levels, mental health, and sexual well-being. KEY TAKEAWAYS Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can be highly beneficial for women going through perimenopause and menopause, providing relief from symptoms and reducing the risk of various health issues. It is important for women to understand that experiencing health issues, such as weight gain or migraines, does not necessarily indicate a lack of effort in maintaining health, as human bodies naturally age and may face challenges despite healthy habits. DHEA supplementation can support adrenal health and energy levels, but it is essential to be cautious with dosages to avoid potential side effects like acne and hair loss. Women should not feel pressured to address every health issue through natural remedies or emotional healing, as sometimes medication or hormone replacement therapy may be the most effective solution. It is crucial for individuals to recognise that not all health trends or treatments, such as psychedelics or specific supplements, are suitable for everyone, and personal health decisions should be made based on individual needs and circumstances. BEST MOMENTS "Women can find that sex drive is better and sex life is better the older they get." "I always tell women like, you'll have better orgasms, more satisfactory." "I did that for like 20 years. I was like, oh, my my freaking dream board isn't good enough."
