Angela dives into a thought-provoking AMA (Ask Me Anything) session, addressing listener questions on topics ranging from protein intake and the use of essential amino acids to maintaining alignment with personal dreams and values. She examines the importance of staying connected to one's goals while navigating potential burnout and offers practical strategies for achieving realistic objectives. She also shares insights on balancing work and family life, encouraging healthy lifestyle choices for children without fostering negative body image issues   KEY TAKEAWAYS Using Essential Amino Acids:Essential amino acids support muscle repair, prevent breakdown during fasting or workouts, and improve recovery without added calories, especially helpful for low appetite or plant-based diets. Staying Connected to Goals:Align goals with personal values, use realistic timelines, and focus on progress rather than perfection. Balance ambition with recovery and chunk large goals into actionable steps. Managing Sugar and Body Image for Kids:Model healthy eating habits, emphasise strength and energy, and avoid linking emotions with food.

Angela meets Paul Larsen, a former triathlete and expert in high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and fat metabolism, who shares his journey from competitive sports to academia, detailing his extensive research and work with Olympic programs in Australia and New Zealand. Together they examine the importance of understanding training stress versus life stress, the benefits of zone 2 training for recovery and fat metabolism, and how wearable technology can optimise training plans KEY TAKEAWAYS The heart rate zones are crucial for optimising training. Zone 2, calculated as 180 minus your age, is essential for enhancing fat metabolism and overall endurance. It's important to avoid spending too much time in Zone 3, as it can lead to increased cortisol levels and hinder fat loss. Engaging in low-intensity activities, such as walking, can significantly improve recovery, enhance fat metabolism, and support overall health. These activities help balance the nervous system and promote better sleep. HIIT involves longer intervals (2-5 minutes) that improve cardiovascular fitness and VO2 max, while SIT consists of short, maximal efforts (20-40 seconds) that recruit fast-twitch muscle fibres and enhance mitochondrial density. Both training stress and life stress impact heart rate variability and overall health. Managing life stressors is crucial for maintaining a healthy metabolic state, as high stress can lead to increased insulin levels and central adiposity. BEST MOMENTS "It's always the context over the content. Every person listening here is a little bit different."  "The heart rate variability is a surrogate of the status of the balance of the nervous system."  "If you can just get out there, get out the door, and do just what you said, you'll get quite a bit." "Zone three gets some general bad rap because it's so easy for us to kind of move into this one."

Angela presents the second of a two part conversation with Dr Gregory Kelly, in which they discuss the intriguing topic of senescent cells, often referred to as "zombie cells." These cells accumulate with age, resist apoptosis, and contribute to inflammation, negatively impacting overall health and vitality. Dr. Kelly explains the mechanisms behind cellular senescence and introduces the concept of senolytics—compounds designed to help clear these dysfunctional cells from the body KEY TAKEAWAYS Senescent cells, often referred to as "zombie cells," resist apoptosis (cell death) and accumulate with aging. They do not contribute to bodily functions and instead release inflammatory compounds that can lead to various age-related health issues. Senolytic compounds are designed to help clear out senescent cells from the body. By periodically taking these compounds, individuals can promote cellular health and potentially improve energy levels, joint comfort, and overall vitality. The process of using senolytics can be likened to pruning yellow leaves from a plant. Just as removing unhealthy leaves allows for new growth, clearing out senescent cells can help rejuvenate tissues and promote healthier cellular function. It is suggested that individuals start considering senolytics around the age of 40, especially if they have experienced significant stress or health issues. Younger individuals may not need to use them as frequently, while older adults may benefit more from regular use. BEST MOMENTS "Senescent cells resist cell death, are unrepairable, and secrete inflammatory compounds, contributing to aging and various health issues."  "If exercise was a pill, everyone would take it because it stimulates autophagy and helps slow the accumulation of senescent cells."  "Senolytics are compounds that can finally get a senescent cell to change its mind and go through this falling off process."  "If we want a different result than our parents or grandparents, we have to start doing more and start doing it younger."

Key Ingredients: Effective nootropics include caffeine, L-theanine, saffron, citicoline, rhodiola, and adaptogenic mushrooms for focus, neuroplasticity, and long-term brain health. Timing and Usage: Taking nootropics in the morning provides stable energy throughout the day. Cycling and breaks prevent adaptation. Social Cognition Benefits: Nootropics can improve emotional regulation and empathy, making you more present for family and relationships. Adaptation and Cycling: Periodic breaks (e.g., weekends off) enhance long-term effectiveness and prevent performance plateaus. TIMESTAMPS AND KEY TOPICS 0:05 – How nootropics enhance emotional and executive functions. 2:30 – Dr. Kelly's background and journey to brain health research. 6:52 – Key principles for nootropics: Goldilocks rule and balancing stimulation. 9:33 – Synergistic effects of nootropic ingredients. 12:22 – Role of citicoline and acetylcholine in learning and focus. 13:48 – Ginkgo for long-term brain nourishment and memory. 17:26 – Cycling nootropics for sustained benefits. 19:08 – Timing: Take nootropics 30–40 minutes before focus work. 23:09 – Stable energy for both work and personal interactions. 24:52 – Age considerations: Suitable for adults 18+; cautious use in teens.   VALUABLE RESOURCES Get a free snapshot of your health and personalised report at www.yourtotalhealthcheck.com Join The High Performance Health Community Save 15% on Qualia Mind with Code ANGELA15 at www.qualialife.com/angela ABOUT THE GUEST Dr. Gregory Kelly is a naturopathic physician (N.D.).

Angela is joined by Dr Morgan Nolte, a geriatric physical therapist, to explore the critical topic of insulin resistance and its widespread impact on health. Dr Nolte shares her journey from traditional physical therapy to focusing on disease prevention, emphasising the importance of understanding insulin's role in blood sugar regulation. She also delves into the differences between insulin resistance, prediabetes, and type 2 diabetes, highlighting the often-overlooked significance of fasting insulin levels KEY TAKEAWAYS Insulin resistance is a condition where the body's cells become less sensitive to insulin, leading to higher insulin levels and eventually resulting in elevated blood sugar levels. It is a precursor to prediabetes and type 2 diabetes, affecting a significant portion of the adult population. Regularly checking fasting insulin levels is crucial, as it can indicate insulin resistance long before blood sugar levels rise. A fasting insulin level below six is considered optimal, and awareness of this can help individuals take proactive steps toward lifestyle changes. To improve insulin sensitivity, a diet low in carbohydrates and high in protein and healthy fats is recommended. Focus on whole foods, limit high-sugar fruits, and ensure adequate protein intake (30-40 grams per meal) to support muscle growth and metabolic health. Strength training and regular physical activity are essential for improving insulin sensitivity. Engaging in moderate to high-intensity strength training at least twice a week, along with walking after meals, can significantly help regulate blood sugar levels. BEST MOMENTS "Insulin is a hormone made in your pancreas and it has several vital roles in the body, but the one that we're focusing on today is blood sugar regulation."  "88% of adults, at least in America, have some degree of insulin resistance, even if they don't have full-blown prediabetes or type 2 diabetes."  "I think the fewer the spikes, the better. Realistically, how we eat in our culture today is purely a matter of commerce and the benefits of being able to ship food."  "When stress is up, a few things happen. Number one is your cortisol goes up. Cortisol is one of your stress hormones."

MORGAN NOLTE is a board-certified clinical specialist in geriatric physical therapy. Recognizing a lack of preventative education and care that focused on reversing risk factors instead of just treating symptoms, Dr. Nolte founded Zivli, an online course and coaching program that helps adults reverse insulin resistance for long-term weight loss and disease prevention.  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 special guest, Zora Benhamou, to examine the multifaceted experiences of menopause, exploring how cultural attitudes and personal stories shape women's journeys through this natural transition. Zora shares her fascinating project of interviewing women from various countries about their menopause experiences, revealing that while symptoms may be universal, perceptions and responses differ significantly across cultures. She also highlights the importance of awareness and education around menopause, discussing common symptoms such as fatigue, mood swings, and sleep disturbances, while also addressing the stigma surrounding hormone therapy KEY TAKEAWAYS Menopause is a universal experience, but cultural attitudes towards it vary significantly. In some countries, women are more open to discussing their experiences, while in others, there is a stigma that leads to rejection of such conversations. Fatigue, mood swings, and sleep disturbances are among the most common symptoms of menopause, often overshadowing hot flashes. Many women are unaware of the full range of menopause symptoms, which can include over 100 different manifestations. The perception of stress plays a crucial role in how women experience menopause. Women in less stressful environments or with a more relaxed attitude tend to cope better with menopausal symptoms, often attributing their resilience to their overall life perspective. There is a lack of awareness and acceptance of hormone therapy in many cultures. Many women are hesitant to consider hormone replacement therapy due to fears of negative health effects, despite the potential benefits it can offer during menopause. BEST MOMENTS "Menopause happens to everyone. No one's getting away with it. We all experience very, very similar symptoms. However, the attitudes are different." "I always say that I'm most worried about the asymptomatic woman, because she's the one who's not going to be aware of what's going on under the hood." "It's incredible that we've never been told... that a woman will lose her periods somewhere between 45 and 55." "Fatigue is something that's big on the list... but I think more than the mood swings would be the sleep."

Angela shares practical tips for downregulating the nervous system amidst the busy period of the holiday season. Emphasising the importance of integrating small, manageable practices into daily routines, Angela highlights techniques such as post-workout relaxation, diaphragmatic breathing, and the benefits of Zone 2 training. KEY TAKEAWAYS Incorporate short practices throughout the day, such as deep breathing or lying down for a minute after intense exercise, to help downregulate the nervous system and improve overall well-being. Engage in moderate-intensity activities, like casual walking, which can benefit the endocrine and immune systems without the pressure of high-intensity workouts. Taking short breaks (e.g., 10 minutes) between meetings can help maintain calmness and reduce stress, allowing for better focus and efficiency. Alternate between high-intensity cognitive tasks and low-intensity activities to optimise productivity and reduce cognitive fatigue. Avoid excessive task switching to prevent attention residue. BEST MOMENTS "What we want to do is just remind ourselves that sometimes it's about less doing and more being." "Never underestimate the power of these tiny practices because it's these small things that cumulatively really add up." "When people take breaks between meetings, they remain much calmer." "You can do a breath walk, but it doesn't have to be intense; just being in nature has so many benefits."

Angela is joined by Dr Stephanie Estima to discuss the challenges women face during perimenopause, particularly in their forties. They explore the concept of "Betty," a term that embodies women striving for self-actualisation and improvement in their lives. They also look into common issues such as body composition changes, sleep disturbances, and the stress of balancing aging parents and children, all while navigating hormonal shifts. KEY TAKEAWAYS The concept of being a "Betty" represents women striving for self-actualization and improvement in their lives, regardless of their current challenges. This community encourages individuals to seek guidance and support in their journey toward better health and well-being. Women in their 40s often face significant challenges, including changes in body composition, sleep disturbances, and the stress of balancing caregiving for aging parents and children. These factors can lead to feelings of overwhelm and decreased resilience. Building strong female friendships and social connections is crucial for emotional support during this transitional phase. Feeling seen, heard, and understood by others can help alleviate feelings of isolation and stress. Resistance training is essential for women, especially in their 40s, to combat body composition changes. Incorporating upper body workouts can enhance overall body symmetry and aesthetics. Additionally, a balanced approach to cardio, including low-intensity steady-state exercise and limited high-intensity interval training, is recommended. BEST MOMENTS "I think for me, it's someone who is striving to do better in her life or his life... ready and willing to learn and to figure it out, hopefully with my guidance and of course the community's guidance as well." "Women who are entering their 40s... find that your body composition might be changing a little bit... maybe you're putting on a little bit more fat that you don't necessarily want to be putting on." "Part of it is due to that declining oestrogen and testosterone... you are necessarily and predictably going to see changes in your cognition." "Previous generations didn't have quite the same stress because they weren't necessarily... juggling so many things."

Join the High Performance Health Collective - https://angelafosterperformance.com/hph-collective/  Angela is joined by John Lieurance to talk about the critical role of mitochondria in our health, explaining how these cellular structures convert glucose and oxygen into ATP, the energy currency of the body. The discussion highlights the importance of mitochondrial efficiency, linking it to overall health and the aging process KEY TAKEAWAYS Mitochondria are essential for energy production in the body, converting glucose and oxygen into ATP, which serves as the energy currency for cellular functions. The efficiency of this process is crucial for overall health. As individuals age, mitochondrial efficiency tends to decline, leading to reduced energy production and increased oxidative stress, which is linked to various diseases and the aging process. Infection and toxicity are primary stressors that negatively impact mitochondrial health. Addressing these factors is vital for maintaining energy levels and overall well-being. The health of the body's "doorways" (nasal passage, mouth, and colon) is critical in preventing infections and managing inflammation. Keeping these areas healthy can significantly improve inflammation levels in the body. BEST MOMENTS "In essence, your body uses glucose and oxygen, and this gets combined in a structure called a mitochondria." "When we run out of energy, we don't have the ability to express health, and then disease presents itself based on certain genetics and certain environmental triggers." "There's two primary stressors that generally will have a negative impact on our health and our life force. And that's going to be infection and toxicity." "Endotoxins are incredibly inflammatory, and so the primary three doorways are the nasal passage, the mouth, and the mucosa."

Adam shares his personal journey from a background in sports to becoming a personal trainer, emphasising the importance of movement and the idea of "mobility snacks"—small, manageable bursts of activity throughout the day, as well as how to lay the foundations for building a body that will carry you through life. KEY TAKEAWAYS Foundations of Mobility: Focus on hip and spine mobility for overall body health, as these areas are central to movement and stability. Realistic Health Goals: Adam emphasises aiming for “good enough” health rather than striving for perfection, which can feel overwhelming or impractical. Building Habits with Small Steps: Use habit-stacking techniques to add simple exercises, like neck circles or squats, into your daily routine. Embrace Movement Variety: Moving regularly throughout the day, rather than staying still for long periods, can prevent stiffness and promote joint health. The Role of Flexibility in Pain Relief: Adam shares insights on how improving flexibility gradually can alleviate tension and avoid injury.   TIMESTAMPS & KEY TOPICS  00:04 - Importance of hip and spine mobility for overall health. 00:40 - Introduction to Adam and his approach to fitness. 02:39 - Adam's journey into fitness and personal training. 07:54 - Flexibility variations between individuals. 09:58 - Reducing neck tension through small, consistent movements. 13:27 - Benefits of simply moving more for overall health. 16:22 - Balancing optimisation with realistic daily practices. 24:00 - Infinite vs. finite health goals. 28:59 - Avoiding comparison with others and finding personal health goals. 32:18 - Importance of personal values in health and fitness. 40:27 - Micro-movement breaks to maintain productivity and mobility. 52:38 - Stretching for pain relief and gradual flexibility improvements.   VALUABLE RESOURCES Get a free snapshot of your health and personalised report at www.yourtotalhealthcheck.com Join The High Performance Health Community   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 again by Kate Muir, to discuss the complexities of midlife, focusing on hormones, brain health, and mental well-being. They discuss the misconceptions surrounding hormone therapy, emphasising the benefits of bioidentical hormones compared to synthetic options, and highlight the significant risks associated with obesity and alcohol consumption. Kate and Angela also touch on the importance of lifestyle changes, such as exercise and nutrition, in managing menopause symptoms.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Hormone Therapy and Risks: Body-identical hormone therapy, especially estrogen, can lower breast cancer risks, unlike older synthetic options. Mental Health and Hormones: Hormonal shifts during menopause impact mental well-being, with a strong correlation between low estrogen and increased anxiety or depression. Bone and Muscle Health: Estrogen helps preserve bone density, essential to preventing osteoporosis. Women should also focus on strength training and protein intake. Diet and Supplements: High-protein diets, creatine, and supplements like sulforaphane support brain health and offset hormone declines. Awareness in Younger Women: Early education on bone health and hormone impacts could improve lifelong well-being. Preventing Exploitation: Be cautious of “menopause-targeted” products with questionable benefits, like "menopause chocolate."   TIMESTAMPS & KEY TOPICS  00:01 - Angela introduces Kate Muir, discussing midlife, hormones, and mental health. 05:00 - Hormone therapy's benefits and misconceptions. 13:22 - Tailoring hormone therapy to women's individual needs. 18:06 - Importance of bone density in perimenopause. 26:00 - Challenges of menopause-targeted products. 30:56 - Mental health impacts and hormonal sensitivity. 36:50 - Testosterone's role beyond libido. 41:46 - Nutrition and supplements for brain health. 48:15 - Hormone therapy and Alzheimer's prevention. 52:01 - Four quarters of life: becoming and harvesting stages.   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/fasting Use ANGELA15 to save 15% on Primeadine Spermidine at angelafoster.me/primeadine  To hear Kate Muir's previous episode go to https://omny.fm/shows/high-performance-health/everything-you-need-to-know-about-birth-control-wi   ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster is an award winning Nutritionist, Health & Performance Coach, Speaker and Host of the High Performance Health podcast.

Take your health and performance to the next level - join the High Peformance Heath Collective at angelafoster.me/collective Angela examinesthe pervasive issue of microplastics and nanoplastics, summarizing key insights from recent discussions by experts Rhonda Patrick and Andrew Hoopman. Angela highlights the various sources of microplastics in our environment, including plastic water bottles, food packaging, and household products, while emphasising the importance of minimising exposure. MAIN TAKEAWAYS Microplastics are tiny plastic particles ranging from 1 micron to 5 millimeters in size, and they are pervasive in our environment, found in the air, food, and even drinking water. Research indicates that microplastics may contribute to health issues, including hormonal disruption, cognitive health interference, and oxidative stress, particularly affecting reproductive health and neurological development. To reduce exposure to microplastics, consider using stainless steel or glass containers for food and drinks, avoiding plastic packaging, and opting for fresh produce over canned goods when possible. Incorporating high-fiber foods, cruciferous vegetables (like broccoli and Brussels sprouts), and antioxidant-rich foods can support the body's detoxification processes and help manage the effects of microplastics. BEST MOMENTS "Microplastics are tiny plastic particles that range from 1 micron to 5 millimeters in size, and nanoplastics are even smaller." "Bottled water alone can contain up to 240,000 particles per litre, and this exposure is more pronounced if they're exposed to heat." "Microplastics often carry chemicals like BPA, phthalates, and PFAs, which are known to be endocrine disruptors." "We cannot rule out exposure; that's not possible, how can we support our bodies so that we're managing ongoing liver and detoxification pathways?"

Angela is joined by Michael Gervais, an expert in mastery, to explore the profound impact of identity and thoughtfulness in personal and professional growth. They discuss the concept of mastery as a commitment to artistic expression at the edge of one's capabilities, emphasising the importance of being present and aware in everyday life. Michael also shares insights from his extensive interviews with top performers, highlighting the distinction between striving to be the best versus being one's best.   MAIN TAKEAWAYS Mindset Mastery: Embracing mindfulness and resilience helps us focus on what's within our control, strengthening self-awareness and adaptability. Purpose-Based Identity: A purpose-oriented identity offers deeper satisfaction than a performance-focused identity, allowing individuals to align with their core values. Living in the Present: Mindfulness practices like journaling, meditation, and self-reflection ground us in the present moment, helping reduce anxiety and improve focus. Managing FOPO (Fear of Other People's Opinions): Recognizing the spotlight effect helps release social pressures and reduces the fear of judgment, allowing authentic self-expression.

Go to https://carolbike.com/ and use code ANGELA for your exclusive discount Angela is joined by Ulrich Dempfle to discuss the critical role of cardiorespiratory fitness and VO2 max in promoting longevity and overall health. They delve into the importance of maintaining aerobic capacity, especially as we age, and how VO2 max is a significant health marker that can reduce mortality risk more than smoking, diabetes, and obesity combined. Ulrich also highlights the innovative ReHIT (Reduced Exertion High Intensity Interval Training) method, which allows individuals to achieve substantial fitness gains in just a few minutes a week, making it an efficient alternative to traditional exercise routines MAIN TAKEAWAYS VO2 max is a critical health marker that significantly influences longevity and healthspan. Low cardiorespiratory fitness is linked to higher mortality rates, surpassing the risks associated with smoking, diabetes, and obesity. Reduced Exertion High-Intensity Interval Training (ReHIT) offers a time-efficient way to improve cardiorespiratory fitness and strength. Just two 20-second all-out sprints can yield substantial health benefits in as little as five minutes, making it accessible for those with busy schedules. Engaging in ReHIT can lead to a 62% reduction in the risk of developing metabolic diseases within eight weeks. This improvement is comparable to the effects of medications like metformin but without the associated side effects. High-intensity exercise, including ReHIT, can positively influence hormonal health by increasing testosterone levels in men while keeping cortisol levels lower, which is particularly beneficial for women during perimenopause. BES MOMENTS  "VO2 max, your cardiorespiratory fitness is by an order of magnitude, the biggest driver [of health]. Low cardiorespiratory fitness causes more avoidable deaths than smoking, diabetes, and obesity combined." "REHIT stands for Reduced Exertion High Intensity Interval Training... the answer is two 20-second sprints. You can do that in a routine that lasts as little as five minutes." "In only eight weeks, you can reduce your risk of developing metabolic diseases by 62%... that has reduced by 62% over only eight weeks. That's a level of improvement you would expect from taking a drug like metformin." "If you're not looking after your VO2 max, it can become life limiting quite quickly."

Boost Your Gut Health & Antioxidant Status this Autumn /Winter with Just Thrive Probiotic and Antioxidant - use code Angela20 to save 20% Angela invites you to a special Ask Me Anaything, where she dives into the critical role of cortisol in managing stress and enhancing performance, particularly for women navigating perimenopause and menopause. She addresses the science behind cortisol, its effects on energy levels, sleep, and metabolism, and offers practical strategies for managing cortisol levels through lifestyle adjustments, nutrition, and exercise. Angela also answers questions about optimising cognitive function and brain health, emphasising the importance of omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and hydration, and how to adjust workout routines for fat loss and muscle tone as we age, highlighting the significance of strength training and high-intensity interval training (HIIT). MAIN TAKEAWAYS Mitochondrial density and quality are crucial for energy levels, especially for women going through perimenopause, as reduced mitochondrial function can lead to lower energy. Elevated cortisol levels due to chronic stress can negatively impact performance, sleep, and metabolism. Managing cortisol through circadian alignment, nutrition, and stress-reducing practices is essential for overall health. Consuming omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants (like blueberries), and B vitamins is vital for supporting cognitive function and reducing brain fog, particularly in women experiencing hormonal changes. Strength training and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) are effective for maintaining muscle mass and promoting fat loss as one ages. Progressive overload in strength training is key to stimulating muscle growth. IAdequate recovery is crucial to prevent overtraining and burnout. Incorporating rest days, proper nutrition, and hydration supports muscle recovery and overall well-being. BEST MOMENTS "During perimenopause, we see reduced mitochondrial density and number, which affects your energy."  "Circadian misalignment is implicated in 100% of mental health conditions."  "Regular, moderate exercise can lower baseline cortisol over time."  "Omega-3, particularly DHA, is essential for brain health and supports cognitive function."  "Strength training is absolutely going to be your friend here for maintaining muscle strength and metabolic health."

Visit www.carolbike.com and use code ANGELA for an exclusive discount  Angela is joined by Finnian Kelly, who shares his transformative journey from a life driven by hustle and external validation to one focused on personal mastery and intentional living. Finnian discusses the importance of grounding oneself in feelings rather than outcomes, emphasising that true fulfilment comes from within, as well as exploring the concept of belief loops and how our subconscious shapes our experiences, particularly in relationships and financial abundance. MAIN TAKEAWAYS Transitioning from a hustle-and-grind mentality to focusing on personal mastery can lead to more sustainable success and fulfilment. Emphasising personal growth over material achievements allows for deeper connections and opportunities. Living with intention involves prioritising feelings over outcomes. By identifying the feelings associated with goals, individuals can cultivate those feelings in the present, leading to a more fulfilling life and potentially surpassing their original goals. Recognising and understanding subconscious belief loops is crucial for personal transformation. These loops often dictate behaviours and feelings, and by questioning and reframing them, individuals can break free from negative patterns. Breath work serves as a powerful tool for connecting with one's true self and accessing deeper states of awareness. It can help in managing emotions, enhancing mental clarity, and facilitating personal growth by bridging the conscious and subconscious minds. BEST MOMENTS "What I've learned is if we don't do it through a conscious awareness, eventually your soul or spirit will pick you up and sort of go, wake up. And it does it through trauma." "The first part of intentionality is it's a feelings first approach to living in leadership. Ultimately, the only reason why we want something to occur is because we hope it gives us a feeling."  "There's a great expression, isn't there, of being the flower, not the bee. And I think so many tryu to be the busy bee" "In order to let it go, you need to actually feel it. We have to feel what we didn't feel safe or we didn't have the space to feel at some time in the past."

She began her career as a trial lawyer who specialized in settling cases by bringing both sides together, a personal passion of hers. Once her second child arrived, Tina left that high-stress job behind so she could focus on her family. Luckily, she was still able to use her considerable legal skills to point her career in a new direction as the in-house counsel for a family pharmaceutical company. But what Tina saw there made her change direction again. Frustrated by the many abuses in the pharmaceutical industry, Tina turned toward the field of natural health, and found her life's work. She channeled her energy into learning all she could about disease prevention and good health maintenance. That led her to discover the importance of gut health and how connected and crucial it is for overall health and wellness. To share her discovery with the world, Tina along with her husband created a unique supplement that contains the superior probiotic strains of renowned researcher Dr. Simon Cutting. By promoting gut health and probiotics, Tina shares her passion for wellness, helping others live their best physical and emotional lives.

Angela welcomes trauma expert Peter Levine PHD, who shares his profound insights on somatic experiencing and the nature of trauma. Peter reflects on his personal journey with trauma, emphasising that it is not an incurable brain disorder but rather a response to overwhelming experiences that can be healed. The conversation also looks into how trauma is stored in the body and the importance of discharging that energy to regain equilibrium. MAIN TAKEAWAYS Trauma is defined as an overwhelming experience that can leave individuals feeling stuck in distressing sensations and emotions. It is not an incurable brain disorder but rather a natural response of the body trying to protect itself from overwhelming fear and helplessness. The mind can often move on from trauma faster than the body, which may continue to hold onto the traumatic experience. This is reflected in the concept that "the body keeps the score," indicating that unresolved trauma can manifest physically and emotionally. To heal from trauma, it is essential to create new, positive embodied experiences that contradict the feelings of fear and helplessness associated with the trauma. This process involves finding moments of safety, love, and support to help discharge the trauma. Continuous exposure to traumatic events through media can re-trigger trauma, especially in children. It is crucial to limit this exposure to prevent the feeling of constant threat and to foster a sense of safety. BEST MOMENTS "The simplest definition is, you know, something happens and we're just overwhelmed. And we stay overwhelmed." "Trauma is something that happens in the body, but in order to heal trauma, we have to have new experience in our bodies." "When we've had trauma and we want to be able to discharge that, often what happens is a new situation arises that is maybe symbolic or looks to be similar." "We need to respect that in ourselves and in others. Trauma affects us individually as individuals."

Angela welcomes Dr. Peter Martone, an expert in sleep biomechanics, to discuss the critical impact of sleep positioning on overall health and well-being. Dr. Martone shares insights on how proper spinal alignment during sleep can enhance restorative sleep, improve heart rate variability (HRV), and regulate the parasympathetic nervous system, which is essential for reducing stress and promoting recovery. The conversation delves into the concept of the "triune of sleep," emphasising the importance of alignment, subconscious safety, and conscious relaxation techniques   MAIN TAKEAWAYS The Sleep Triune: Alignment, Safety, and Subconscious Control: Dr Martone presents the Sleep Triune, explaining that true sleep quality starts with proper alignment. If the body is misaligned during sleep, it leads to subconscious pain, causing tossing and turning throughout the night. Corrective Sleep Positioning for Spinal Health:  The ideal sleep position is lying on the back with arms at the side, legs straight, and a pillow under the neck (not the head). This position supports the natural cervical curve and prevents long-term structural problems. Sleep Avatars: Personalising Sleep Based on Subconscious Patterns:  Dr Martone categorises sleepers into three avatars—Armadillo, Gorilla, and Ostrich—based on their subconscious sleep habits. Understanding your sleep type can help tailor strategies to improve both sleep quality and overall health. Optimising the Vagus Nerve for Better Health: Misalignment in the cervical spine can compress the vagus nerve, leading to a range of issues, from poor digestion and immune system dysfunction to anxiety and depression. Aligning the neck properly during sleep can enhance vagus nerve function and improve parasympathetic tone. Breathing Techniques to Calm the Mind: Focusing on long exhalations rather than inhalations helps calm the mind and body. Dr Martone recommends a simple technique: breathe in slowly, let the breath out even more slowly, and pause before inhaling again.   TIMESTAMPS & KEY TOPICS 00:01 – Introduction to Dr Peter Martone and the role of sleep positioning in health. 01:41 – The Sleep Triune: Why proper alignment is crucial for sleep and health. 06:51 – Corrective sleeping position: Back sleep with pillow under the neck, not the head. 13:15 – Understanding the three sleep avatars: Armadillo, Gorilla, and Ostrich. 21:07 – Impact of vagus nerve compression on parasympathetic function. 33:49 – Strategies to calm the subconscious: Pressure points and breathing techniques. 37:42 – Importance of exhaling for falling asleep: A simple breathing exercise. 41:28 – Customising sleep strategies based on sleep avatars. 42:42 – How sleep posture impacts your ability to create the reality you want. 45:15 – Call to Action: Take the Animal Sleep Avatar Quiz at DoctorSleepRight.com.

They explore the unique challenges women face during this phase, including hormonal changes, shifting family dynamics, and the pressure to balance multiple responsibilities. Liz shares practical tips on how to prioritise health and wellbeing, redefining what it means to thrive in midlife and beyond. Key Takeaways Why Self-Care is Essential in Midlife: Liz explains why self-care is a necessity, not a luxury, during midlife. Women often juggle numerous responsibilities—from caring for children to supporting ageing parents—making it even more critical to prioritise their own health and wellbeing. Understanding Hormonal Shifts: Liz breaks down the hormonal changes that occur during perimenopause and menopause and discusses how these shifts can impact mental health, energy levels, and overall wellbeing. Learn how to support your hormones through nutrition, movement, and supplements. Gut Health and Ageing: As oestrogen levels decline, the gut microbiome changes. Liz highlights how focusing on gut health can mitigate common ageing-related issues like inflammation and digestive discomfort. Redefining Relationships in Midlife: Liz shares her personal experiences and insights into how relationships evolve in midlife, including setting boundaries and recognising toxic patterns. Discover how to nurture healthy relationships and identify when it's time to let go. Practical Self-Care Strategies: From morning routines to evening journaling practices, Liz outlines simple yet effective self-care habits that can be seamlessly integrated into busy lifestyles. Tips include using breathwork to reduce stress, the benefits of short walks, and incorporating mindfulness throughout the day. Timestamps and Key Topics [00:00] Introduction, Angela welcomes Liz Earle. [03:29] Starting with self-care, why midlife women must prioritise health. [05:09] Navigating hormones, balancing through diet and lifestyle. [08:14] Generational shifts, self-care awareness differences. [11:08] Evening routines, tips for a calmer mind at night.

[24:35] Midlife relationships, redefining roles and boundaries. [28:10] Takeaways, practical health tips. BEST MOMENTS "I think the key is to start with yourself. You have to prioritise you. You have to make a commitment right at the beginning that you are worth it." "I think it's all about trying to get your body to work in a better, younger way for you. So rather than try and impose something else on your skin or your body and force it into doing something, I think to give it the tools to do it for itself is a more successful option." "Using collagen to support bones and joint health, I think is really useful. And I also add things like powdered bone broth to my coffee and shakes and yogurt and soup and anything."

Angela talks to Rachel Varga about the world of skincare, focusing on the topical application of GHK copper and the intricacies of micro-needling. They discuss the importance of product stability and formulation, emphasising that the effectiveness of ingredients like hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and retinol depends on their molecular size and stability. They also discuss emerging skincare trends, such as NAD and photo-biomodulation, while stressing the need for thorough research and caution when using at-home laser devices. KEY TAKEAWAYS Copper peptides are commonly used in skincare for pigmentation reduction and skin brightening, but the stability of the final product and the formulation's effectiveness are crucial for achieving desired results. Microneedling does not require deep penetration; superficial treatments can enhance product absorption without causing pain or bleeding. Different depths can be used based on individual skin concerns, such as acne scarring or skin laxity. Not all skincare products are suitable for transdermal application. It's essential to choose products specifically designed for use with dermal rolling to ensure safety and effectiveness. Many at-home laser and microneedling devices can be ineffective or even harmful if not used correctly. It's important to research the quality and reputation of these devices to avoid potential skin damage. BEST MOMENTS "You do not need to go that deep. You shouldn't be seeing any blood. It shouldn't be painful." "I always take new things with a grain of salt because I never want to waste anyone's time and money." "Lasers are the number one point of litigation and where things can go wrong in medical aesthetics." "I started to eat the right foods, follow a low inflammatory lifestyle, and now I'm actually at 90% skincare, dermal rolling, healthy living practices."
