Angela talks to Professor Stuart Philips, who challenges the long-standing "Anabolic Window" myth, revealing that muscle sensitivity to protein actually lasts up to 48 hours post-exercise rather than a mere 30-minute window.  The conversation cuts through the noise of modern protein obsession, establishing that while the RDA is a baseline, the true sweet spot for muscle synthesis lies between 1.2g and 1.6g per kilogram of body weight. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: The protein "sweet spot": While the baseline requirement is 0.8g/kg, optimal benefits for muscle maintenance and growth occur between 1.2g and 1.6g per kilogram. The myth of the 30-minute window: The "Anabolic Window" is much larger than previously thought; muscles remain sensitive to protein for up to 48 hours after a workout. Dosage limits: For most people, including perimenopausal and postmenopausal women, 30g to 40g of protein per meal is the effective limit for stimulating new muscle growth. Carbohydrates are essential: Despite modern "carb-phobia," carbohydrates are the primary drivers of high-intensity performance TIMESTAMPS [01:50] The confusion between calculating protein [03:52] The "Baking the Cake" analogy [05:54] Debunking the idea that you can only absorb 20g of protein at a time.

Angela talks to Ari Whitten, the founder of The Energy Blueprint and an expert in mitochondrial health about his comprehensive approach to overcoming fatigue and optimising energy levels by addressing the cellular engines of the body—the mitochondria.  Ari explains how modern lifestyle factors, such as poor light exposure, chronic stress, and nutritional deficiencies, signal the mitochondria to enter a defence mode rather than an energy-producing mode WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: The Cell Danger Response (CDR): Mitochondria have a dual role; they are not just energy producers but also environmental sensors that shift into a defensive state when they perceive threats Circadian Rhythm and Light: Proper exposure to natural light in the morning and minimising artificial blue light at night is critical for regulating the mitochondrial clock and ensuring deep, restorative sleep. Hormetic Stress: Introducing controlled stressors—such as high-intensity exercise, cold exposure, or heat—can actually strengthen mitochondria and increase their capacity to produce energy The Importance of Nutrient Density: Specific nutrients, including CoQ10, magnesium, and polyphenols, are essential "fuel" for the electron transport chain TIMESTAMPS [00:04:15] The "Energy Gap" [00:18:30] Mitochondria as Sensors [00:32:45] The Power of Red Light Therapy [00:52:10] Building Metabolic Flexibility VALUABLE RESOURCES ⁠Join The High Performance Health Community⁠ ⁠Click here⁠ for discounts on all the products I personally use and recommend A BIG thank you to our sponsors who make the show possible The Ultimate Guide to Red Light Therapy  Find out your biological age and how your daily habits are influencing it with DNA, bloodwork and microbiome testing with a Stride One membership - visit https://www.getstride.com/angela/ for 10% off.

What if the missing piece in your menopause journey isn't hormones, but your nervous system? I'm Dr. Betty Murray, and in this episode, I sit down with Dr. Patrick Porter, founder and inventor of of BrainTap technology, a revolutionary light, sound, and vibration system that uses brain wave entrainment to flip the switch on sympathetic syndrome (chronic fight-or-flight), restore sleep, build stress resilience, and rewire neural pathways in just 20-30 minutes a day. Dr. Porter has been pioneering neuroplasticity technology since 1986, starting with the first personal light and sound machine for pain clinics.  You'll Discover: ●    Why our ancient brains weren't designed for modern life ●    Why modern brains operate on only one gear (stress, frustration, anxiety) when we need multiple gears like a car, and how BrainTap uses light (810-850 nanometer), sound (beat frequencies), and vibration to regulate five primary brain wave networks (alpha, beta, theta, delta, gamma) like switching Wi-Fi networks ●    The four T's destroying biological systems: Thoughts, Traumas, Toxins, and Technology (the new fourth T) ●    How brain voltage drops from 18.1 volts at birth to 10.1 volts by age 16-17, creating resistance where life becomes an energy equation that starts in brain, moves down spine, out to limbs ●    Why neural pruning accelerates in menopause due to estrogen loss affecting mitochondria and the cannabinoid system. ●    Why affirmations fail: brain doesn't respond to false statements of fact ●    Why drinking coffee first thing in morning is worst thing for biological system} ●    The three critical BrainTap times: morning, afternoon, sleep preparation This episode is for women struggling with sleep, chronic stress, brain fog, or feeling stuck in fight-or-flight mode despite doing "all the right things" with diet and hormones. If you want to understand how 20-30 minutes a day of brain wave entrainment can rewire neural pathways and restore nervous system balance, this conversation will change how you think about healing.

Angela examines the intricacies of training for muscle strength, hypertrophy, and endurance, referencing a key paper by Brad Schoenfeld that outlines effective rep ranges for different fitness goals.  She discusses the importance of neuromuscular adaptation for beginners and suggest starting with bodyweight exercises before progressing to kettlebells and heavier weights, as well as the significance of tailored training programs, especially for women undergoing menopause, advocating for high-intensity interval training and heavier lifting. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: Training Ranges: Hypertrophy is typically achieved with 8 to 12 reps, strength with 1 to 5 reps, and endurance with 15 or more reps. It's important to follow a structured program to maximise results. Neuromuscular Adaptation: Beginners will experience significant improvements through neuromuscular adaptation, which involves learning proper movement patterns. Starting with bodyweight exercises like squats and pushups is effective. Progression: As individuals advance, they should gradually incorporate resistance training, starting with bodyweight exercises, then moving to bands, and eventually to weights like kettlebells for functional movements. Training for Life: Emphasis should be placed on training that prepares individuals for everyday activities, such as lifting children or carrying luggage, rather than just focusing on traditional weightlifting.

Angela addresses the common misconception that a slowed metabolism is the primary cause of weight gain during midlife, particularly for women experiencing menopause. Instead, the focus is on the impact of visceral fat and insulin exposure, which can lead to stubborn belly fat.  Angela episode outlines five actionable levers to combat these issues, including increasing daily movement, prioritising resistance training, strategically using high-intensity interval training (HIIT), choosing fibrous whole food carbohydrates, and improving sleep and stress resilience WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: Insulin Exposure: Elevated insulin levels throughout the day hinder the body's ability to mobilise stored fat. Improving insulin sensitivity is crucial for effective fat loss, particularly around the abdomen. Five Effective Levers: To combat midlife belly fat, focus on five key strategies: Break up long periods of sitting and increase daily movement. Prioritise resistance training three times a week. Use high-intensity interval training (HIIT) strategically. Choose fibrous whole food carbohydrates instead of cutting carbs entirely. Improve sleep quality and manage stress to enhance metabolic health. Personalised Approach: The most effective strategy for reducing belly fat varies for each individual. Factors such as sleep disruption, stress load, glucose swings, and training intensity should be considered TIMESTAMPS [00:01:35] Visceral fat and health risks.

Angela takes a look at the essentials of daily detoxification with executive wellness coach and Ideal Day podcast host, Adam Parker.  Moving beyond the hype of fad cleanses, Adam and Angela explore how our bodies naturally process modern environmental toxins, from heavy metals to microplastics, and why proactive support is vital in 2026.  From the controversial benefits of coffee enemas to the science-backed power of sauna protocols, mineral replenishment, and binders, this conversation provides a roadmap for boosting metabolic flexibility, clearing brain fog, and reclaiming your cellular energy. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: Detox is a Continuous Process: The body is always detoxing through breath, sweat, and elimination; however, the modern toxic load often exceeds our natural capacity The Bottom-Up Protocol: Effective detoxification should follow a specific sequence starting at the colon (the bottom of the drainage funnel) and moving up to the liver, gallbladder, lymph, and finally the cells The Role of Lipophilic Toxins: Many modern man-made chemicals are fat-soluble (lipophilic) and store themselves in fat tissue Minerals as the "Spark Plugs": Heavy metals often compete with essential minerals for cell receptors. Replenishing with fulvic and humic minerals or unrefined sea salt is a foundational daily habit to push out heavy metals and fuel metabolic pathways. TIMESTAMPS [01:41] — Defining Detox: Adam explains why the body needs extra support in today's environment compared to a decade ago. [05:25] — Fat Tissue & Toxin Storage: A discussion on why toxins hide in body fat and the symptoms that occur when they are mobilised. [08:52] — The Supplement Strategy: Deep dive into magnesium for the colon and milk thistle/dandelion for stagnant bile flow in the liver. [11:51] — The Coffee Enema Debate: Adam breaks down the 100-year history and the hepatic portal vein mechanism behind this controversial practice. [17:09] — Maximum Sauna Benefits: How to use binders, hydration, and "sweat-wiping" techniques to optimise heat-based detoxification.

This episode explores the scientific nuances of workout timing, specifically tailored to women's health and physiology. The conversation delves into how circadian rhythms, cortisol levels, and appetite hormones like ghrelin influence the body's response to exercise at different times of the day.  We discuss findings from various training studies, highlighting that while morning workouts are particularly effective for reducing abdominal fat and visceral adiposity in women, afternoon sessions may offer superior strength and powergains due to enhanced neuromuscular recruitment WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: Training in the morning, regardless of the exercise type (high-intensity or resistance), is notably effective for reducing abdominal fat Women tend to see greater strength gains and improved neuromuscular fibre recruitment when training in the afternoon or evening. The body's response to morning exercise is partly driven by a higher baseline of activated ghrelin While biology suggests optimal times for specific goals, consistency and sticking to a routine that fits one's lifestyle are ultimately the most important factors for long-term success. TIMESTAMPS 0:00 – Discussion on how morning workouts specifically target abdominal fat reduction in women. 0:25 – Explanation of why women generally experience greater strength and power in the afternoon. 0:44 – Overview of studies showing morning exercise reduces visceral fat in women, but not in men. 1:18 – Analysis of how the hunger hormone ghrelin triggers fat burning during early morning sessions. 1:43 – Insight into how resistance training signals the liver to use fatty acids for metabolism rather than storage. 2:38 – A concluding look at why personal consistency often outweighs biological "perfection" in a routine.

Today I'm joined by neuroscientist and mitochondrial health expert Siobhan Mitchell to cut through the noise around mitochondria, inflammation, NAD, and what actually matters for energy, recovery, and brain health in midlife We unpack why mitochondria are not just “battery packs”, they are a master regulator of oxidative stress, immune signalling, and cellular aging. Siobhan explains the difference between hormetic stress that upgrades your system (like training) versus chronic stress that drains it WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: • What mitochondria actually do, beyond “energy production”  • Mitophagy and mitochondrial biogenesis, and why both decline with age  • The difference between hormetic stress (exercise) and chronic stress (modern life)  • Why mitochondrial dysfunction can drive inflammation and immune overactivation  • How brain energy demand and oestrogen loss intersect in menopause symptoms  • CD38, inflammation, and why staying lean matters for NAD preservation  • Why NAD precursors can be wasted, and what supports conversion inside the cell  • The practical take on timing, training, and recovery support TIMESTAMPS 00:01 Mitochondria, ATP, and the oxidative stress trade-off  04:14 Mitophagy, mitochondrial biogenesis, and aging  16:13 Mitochondria as immune regulators, inflammation and cytokines  23:09 Brain energy, menopause, oestrogen, and cognitive decline mechanisms  29:33 NAD explained, CD38, and why NAD drops with age  48:56 NAD, GLUT4, insulin sensitivity, and perimenopause metabolism  53:19 Where to learn more, discount code, and closing VALUABLE RESOURCES ⁠Join The High Performance Health Community⁠ ⁠Click here⁠ for discounts on all the products I personally use and recommend A BIG thank you to our sponsors who make the show possible Get 10% off MitoQ NAD+ - www.mitoq.com with code ANGELA Get 35% off Timeline Mitopure by visiting this link while the offer lasts - https://www.timeline.com/promotions/angela35 Upgrade your cellular health - get 20% off Beam Minerals at http://beamminerals.com/ANGELA & use code ANGELA at checkout ABOUT THE GUEST Dr Siobhan Mitchell - Chief Scientific Officer - MitoQ Siobhan is the Chief Scientific Officer at MitoQ.

Most women think brain fog in perimenopause is inevitable. It isn't. In this episode, I explain what's really going on: your brain isn't broken, it's running on empty; and that's a solvable biology problem, not a willpower problem. I break down what happens as estrogen and progesterone fluctuate, how that impacts brain energy, and why symptoms like forgetfulness, poor focus, and “slow-motion thinking” can show up even when you're doing everything right. Then I share four science-backed strategies to rebuild a sharper, more resilient brain—covering nutrition, training for cognitive performance, regulating your mental “gears,” and a practical supplement toolkit to amplify the foundations WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: How blood sugar crashes sabotage cognition (and the breakfast fix) Why protein & healthy fats matter for focus in perimenopause The role of omega-3s (EPA/DHA) in neuroinflammation and clarity Why higher-intensity exercise can improve focus via lactate → BDNF How to use training strategically before deep work or high-stakes meetings The 3 Gears framework for focus, creativity, and stress regulation Why micro-breaks between meetings improve engagement and reduce stress buildup The supplement stack discussed (omega-3s, magnesium forms, ubiquinol/CoQ10, B vitamins) How to start with one change and build momentum without overwhelm TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Brain Fog in Perimenopause: What's Really Going On 02:37 Strategy 1: High-Quality Nutrition 05:25 Strategy 2: Exercise for Focus (Lactate, BDNF & Brain Energy) 08:59 Strategy 3: 3 Gears Framework for Focus & Stress 13:05 Strategy 4: The Supplement Toolkit (What Actually Helps) 17:28 How to Reclaim Your Focus & Energy VALUABLE RESOURCES ⁠Join The High Performance Health Community⁠ ⁠Click here⁠ for discounts on all the products I personally use and recommend • Longevity Supplement Masterclass – https://academy.angelafosterperformance.com/longevity-masterclass-27 • Omega-3 Episode featuring Dr. Bill Harris – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J42kJPyHPoA A BIG thank you to our sponsors who make the show possible Get 10% off MitoQ NAD+ - www.mitoq.com with code ANGELA Get 35% off Timeline Mitopure by visiting this link while the offer lasts - https://www.timeline.com/promotions/angela35 ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster is an award winning Nutritionist, Health & Performance Coach, Speaker and Host of the High Performance Health podcast.

Join Angela and Simon Alexander Ong, a life and business coach and author of the book Energize, for a discussion on how to transform your life by managing your energy rather than your time, focussing on the power of perception and mindset in achieving an "extraordinary life".  Simon shares his personal journey from the financial sector during the 2008 crisis to becoming a coach, illustrating how obstacles can be reframed as opportunities. They also look at practical strategies for goal setting, maintaining consistency over intensity, and building sustainable systems for long-term success in both personal and professional spheres. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Energy Management Over Time Management: True productivity and the ability to "bend reality" come from managing your energetic state and perception rather than just managing your calendar. Consistency Trumps Intensity: Success is rarely a straight line; it is more like a maze where long-term consistency in habits and systems is more effective than short-term bursts of intense effort. The Power of Pronoia: Reframing your perspective from paranoia (the world is out to get you) to "pronoia" (the universe is conspiring in your favour) significantly changes how you respond to challenges and opportunities. Value and Service as Business Foundations: In business, shift the focus from selling to providing value and service; Simon suggests that money is simply an "echo of value". TIMESTAMPS AND KEY TOPICS: [0:56] The career journey [2:50] “The messy middle" of any journey and why it's crucial to fall in love with the process [7:46] The difference between goal-setting (like training for a marathon) and building systems [13:48] “Daily non-negotiables," including physical exercise, reading across multiple formats, journaling for mental clarity, and using voice notes VALUABLE RESOURCES ⁠Join The High Performance Health Community⁠ ⁠Click here⁠ for discounts on all the products I personally use and recommend A BIG thank you to our sponsors who make the show possible Try Beam Minerals now at beamminerals.com/angela using code ANGELA for 20% off Take the BioSyncing Quiz: https://angelafoster.me/quiz ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster is an award winning Nutritionist, Health & Performance Coach, Speaker and Host of the High Performance Health podcast.

Join Angela and Dr William Li for a look at the complex world of heart health and hormonal shifts, in which they tackle the often-confusing link between menopause and rising cholesterol levels, debunking common myths and providing clarity on the real risks of high LDL.  Dr. Li shares his expert insights on the nuances of heart disease prevention, the importance of blood sugar balance, and how a holistic, evidence-based approach can help you navigate these sudden health changes with confidence and balance. KEY TAKEAWAYS: High LDL cholesterol is linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease because it can build up as plaque in the arteries and impede blood flow. Total cholesterol levels are no longer the primary indicator of heart disease risk; instead, doctors focus on the ratio of "good" HDL to "bad" LDL cholesterol. While some people have genetic predispositions to extremely high cholesterol, modern medicine emphasises a more nuanced understanding of different cholesterol components. Maintaining blood sugar balance is crucial, but health influencers often exaggerate the dangers of minor "spikes" and "crashes" that are actually normal bodily functions. TIMESTAMPS AND KEY TOPICS: 0:45 How LDL cholesterol sticks to artery walls like "Velcro," 1:42 How medical understanding has evolved from tracking total cholesterol to focusing on HDL/LDL ratios. 3:07 The influence of health influencers on public anxiety regarding blood sugar and cholesterol levels. 4:03 Importance of "homeostasis" and how the body naturally strives for balance in its systems.

Angela is joined by Dr Will B to examine the critical relationship between meal timing, gut health, and inflammation.  They discuss how eating close to bedtime can negatively impact heart rate variability and create an inflammatory state in the body, particularly affecting the gut microbiome. They also look at the importance of allowing the gut to enter a recovery mode during the night and emphasise the benefits of earlier meal times KEY TAKEAWAYS: Meal Timing and Inflammation: Eating close to bedtime can lead to increased inflammation, as the body's inflammatory response peaks about six hours after a meal Importance of Fasting: Allowing the gut a fasting period of about 12 hours overnight can help recalibrate the gut microbiome, promoting a healthier gut environment and supporting overall health. Four Nutritional Pillars: To support a healthy microbiome and reduce inflammation, focus on four key nutrients: fibre, polyphenols, healthy fats, and fermented foods Dietary Patterns: While various dietary patterns (like vegan, carnivore, or keto) are often debated, the focus should be on ensuring adequate intake of the four nutritional pillars rather than adhering strictly to a specific diet TIMESTAMPS AND KEY TOPICS: [00:02:21] Nighttime gut microbiome recovery. [00:04:36] Inflammation and health risks. [00:08:03] Mediterranean diet and health.

Angela is joined by Sarah Rusbatch, to discuss the hidden health risks of alcohol, particularly for women in midlife. Sarah reveals the physiological reasons why women metabolise alcohol differently than men, leading to increased health risks, and shares the alarming statistic that four out of five women are unaware of the link between alcohol and breast cancer.  Together they focus on the three core pillars for successful behaviour change: focusing on what you gain, replacing the habit with a positive alternative, and embracing the power of small experiments KEY TAKEAWAYS: The Hidden Risks for Women: Women metabolise alcohol less efficiently than men due to lower levels of the alcohol dehydrogenase enzyme, making them more susceptible to alcohol's negative effects Alcohol's Link to Cancer: One in five breast cancer deaths are linked to alcohol, and the risk increases dose-dependently. Four out of five women are unaware of this direct connection. The Power of Positive Substitution: Successful behaviour change requires moving the focus from the deprivation (loss aversion) to the gains (e.g., better sleep, more energy, better skin) and replacing the drinking habit with an effective, positive alternative. Addressing the Root Cause: For many, alcohol is a "solution to the problem" of boredom, stress, or escape. Lasting change requires looking at what alcohol is masking and making fundamental changes to your life TIMESTAMPS AND KEY TOPICS: 0:01:25: One glass of alcohol can be too much for those with genetic predispositions 0:03:08: Why women metabolise alcohol differently 0:04:45: Four in five women are unaware of the link between alcohol and breast cancer. 0:06:50: The alcohol industry's successful marketing strategy that led to the rise of female-targeted pink drinks 0:11:35: The three core pillars for behaviour change VALUABLE RESOURCES ⁠Join The High Performance Health Community⁠ ⁠Click here⁠ for discounts on all the products I personally use and recommend A BIG thank you to our sponsors who make the show possible Get weekly science tips to optimise your health and longevity to your inbox with Angela's free newsletter.

Angela talks to Dr. Ash Kapoor, a longevity specialist and cellular health expert, who shares his approach to health that focuses on understanding and addressing the root causes of disease and aging, particularly through the lens of the 12 Hallmarks of Aging.  Dr. Kapoor talks about the fact that true longevity is not just about extending lifespan, but about maximising independence, purposefulness, and fulfilment, explaining that modern stress depletes the body's primary energy source (ATP), forcing it to steal from the immune, hormonal, and nervous systems KEY TAKEAWAYS: Longevity Redefined: True longevity is defined not merely by living longer, but by being independent, purposeful, and pursuing fulfilment until an achievable age of 123. The Root Cause of Decline: All 126,000 known diseases can be traced back to the 12 Hallmarks of Aging, a breakdown in the body's cellular systems that is often driven by chronic modern stress A Strategy for Optimisation: Dr. Kapoor's approach involves a multi-stage strategy of detoxifying (cleaning the liver and gut), repairing (restoring hormones and nutrients, and re-establishing circadian rhythm), and renewing the body's cellular environment The Power of Inner Energy: The core problem is operating on stress-based energy (like cortisol and immune/hormonal reserves) instead of the primary mitochondrial energy (ATP) TIMESTAMPS AND KEY TOPICS: 0:01:25: Defining Longevity: What true "living" means beyond just existing. 0:03:00: The Science of the 12 Hallmarks of Aging and the control we have over them. 0:08:48: The link between the external world (success) and internal depletion (energy crash). 0:18:25: The fundamental strategy: Detox, Repair, and Renew in the correct order. 0:25:05: Understanding hormone depletion: Why the body "steals" hormones and the concept of "restorative hormone therapy."

In this thought-provoking podcast episode, Angela and special guest, Peter Crone, delve into the challenges women face in reconciling their achievements with feelings of inadequacy.  They explore the concept of the "hungry ghost," where external success fails to address deeper internal beliefs of not being enough. The discussion emphasises the importance of shifting from a mindset of searching for validation to one of exploring possibilities, highlighting that true peace and joy come from within, rather than from external circumstances KEY TAKEAWAYS: Inner Perspective vs. External Success: Achieving external success does not necessarily change one's internal beliefs about self-worth.  The Concept of the "Hungry Ghost": This term illustrates the idea that individuals can never feel satisfied with external achievements if they have unresolved internal beliefs of inadequacy.  Exploration vs. Searching: There is a distinction between searching, which stems from feelings of lack, and exploring, which is rooted in joy and curiosity.  Freedom and Joy as States of Being: Freedom and joy are not dependent on external circumstances but are states of mind.  TIMESTAMPS AND KEY TOPICS: [00:02:01] Inner peace vs. external success. [00:03:58] Exploring vs. Searching. [00:08:08] Imagination and personal potential.

In this powerful episode of the Healthy Hustle Podcast, Rachel sits down with Dr. Patrick K. Porter, a neuroscience expert, inventor of BrainTap®, and founder of BrainTap Technologies. With decades of experience helping over 120,000 people—including pro athletes, veterans, and high achievers—Dr. Porter shares practical, science-backed strategies to boost focus, improve sleep, and build resilience so you can show up as your best self in life and business. His work blends brainwave science, visualization, and neuroplasticity to make peak mental performance achievable for everyone. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or stuck in chronic stress, this conversation is a MUST listen. Dr. Porter breaks down complex brain science into simple, actionable steps that anyone can use—starting today. What You'll Learn in This Episode 1. Your Brain Is More Powerful Than You Realize How every cell in your body is constantly "listening" to your environment—thoughts, foods, people, light, sound, and stress—and mirroring it back through your biology. Why your DNA is continually updating based on how you perceive life: as a threat or as a challenge. 2. Why Stress Isn't Just a "Mindset" Problem The link between chronic stress and disrupted neurotransmitters, sleep cycles, gut health, and blood sugar. Why Dr. Porter says we don't have a mental health crisis—we have a physiological crisis. 3. Brainwaves 101: Understanding Your Inner Operating System Dr. Porter breaks down: Beta – reactionary, can be tied to fear, frustration, anxiety. Alpha – daydreaming, creativity, presence, flow. Theta – deep relaxation, super-learning, memory integration. Delta – deep sleep and brain detox. Gamma – the "bass drum" that helps keep the whole brain orchestra in sync. You'll hear how modern life pushes many people out of balance—and what that looks like in everyday symptoms (brain fog, burnout, poor focus, anxiety). 4. The Science Behind BrainTap® You'll learn how BrainTap uses light, sound, and vibration to: Support brainwave balance Increase ATP (cellular energy) Improve sleep architecture and deep delta sleep Regulate the nervous system Support gut-brain communication and overall resilience Dr. Porter also dives into: Red light therapy and mitochondrial energy Circadian rhythms and why timing of sleep matters Why a 2 PM "reboot" can increase productivity by 26% 5. A Daily BrainCare Routine You Can Start Now Dr. Porter outlines a simple structure you can plug into your day: Morning: a short "digital coffee" BrainTap session to energize the brain without relying on caffeine. Midday (around 2 PM): a 20-minute reboot session to reset your nervous system and restore focus. Evening: a session that guides your brain into delta for deeper, more restorative sleep. Plus, a simple 4–8 breathing practice before bed to activate the parasympathetic nervous system. Try BrainTap Free Dr. Porter offers a 14-day free trial of the BrainTap app. No headset required to start Just your phone + audio Most people report noticeably better sleep by night three

Dive into the science of training intensity with Stacy Sims, who's here to explain why the RPE scale (Rate of Perceived Exertion) is your most reliable metric, and how concepts like "moderate exercise" can be misleading.  You'll learn how to effectively use stress to build fitness and the importance of a foundational base before pursuing maximum-effort workouts KEY TAKEAWAYS: RPE is Key: The Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) scale is an essential tool for measuring how hard your body is working. A "10 out of 10" effort is when you are physically stopped and "literally can't do anything more" (the "vomit scale"). The Vague "Moderate": "Moderate intensity" is a general guideline for the public, often representing a "gray zone" that may not optimise results for people with a training history. Foundation First: Building a base of fitness is crucial, especially as you age, before engaging in high-intensity work, as pushing too hard too soon can reveal underlying health issues. The Power of Stress: Movement is medicine, and the body requires stress (like high-intensity bursts) to adapt and survive well, pushing it out of its comfortable, algorithmically flat existence. TIMESTAMPS AND KEY TOPICS: Defining the RPE Scale (0-10) for Workouts 4:32 - 6:01 Pacing and Intensity for 4-Minute Intervals 6:01 - 6:53 Clarifying "Moderate Intensity" Exercise 7:06 - 8:05 High-Intensity Training and Health Screening 10:49 - 12:47 VALUABLE RESOURCES ⁠Join The High Performance Health Community⁠ ⁠Click here⁠ for discounts on all the products I personally use and recommend A BIG thank you to our sponsors who make the show possible: Podcast Exclusive Discount on Carol Bike with code ANGELA ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster is an award winning Nutritionist, Health & Performance Coach, Speaker and Host of the High Performance Health podcast.

Unleash your brain's hidden potential with Patrick Holford, who in this bitesize edition, reveals the electrifying truth that your brain is a powerhouse of fat and protein, and you're likely running it on empty.  Also, discover the four "Horsemen of the Mental Health Apocalypse"—from sugar to missing B vitamins—that are sabotaging your focus and dramatically increasing your risk of dementia KEY TAKEAWAYS: Your Brain is Composed of Fat and Protein: The brain's structure is predominantly fat (over 60% of its dry weight) and protein. White matter consists of fatty insulation (like electrical wires), and grey matter is made of the neuron bodies Optimal Nutrition is the Foundation of High Performance: High performance in any area, including sports, starts with a properly functioning brain The Four Horsemen of Mental Health Decline: Patrick identifies four key factors that negatively impact brain health: brain fats (Omega-3, Vitamin D, phospholipids), methylation (B vitamins), sugar, and antioxidants Dementia is Not Inevitable: Apart from a small number of cases caused by rare, early-onset genes (less than 1%), developing dementia is not a necessity.

In this episode, Angela sits down with Ulrich Dempfle, co-founder and CEO of CAROL Bike, to uncover the science and innovation behind one of the most time-efficient ways to boost VO₂ max, metabolic health, and brain function. Ulrich explains why VO₂ max is the most important marker for longevity, how it declines without training, and how short, AI-guided REHIT sprints boost mitochondria, BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor), and cardiovascular fitness in just minutes. He also breaks down how Reduced-Exertion High-Intensity Interval Training (REHIT) works, why traditional zone 2 training doesn't work for everyone, and how gamification and real-time performance data make staying consistent easier than ever. What You'll Learn: Why VO₂ max is the strongest predictor of health and longevity How REHIT delivers major fitness gains in just minutes Why zone 2 training doesn't work for everyone How short, AI-guided sprints boost mitochondria and brain function Metabolic and cognitive benefits of REHIT How CAROL Bike personalises training to maximise VO₂ max TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Intro & The Importance of VO₂ Max 01:00 How VO₂ Max Declines and Why It Matters 04:22 Zone 2 Training Myths & Non-Responders 09:09 Mitochondria 101: Density vs. Efficiency 12:00 The Science Behind REHIT & CAROL Bike 19:09 Gamification, Dopamine & Workout Adherence 22:02 Lactate, BDNF & Brain Health Benefits 26:04 Insulin Sensitivity & Metabolic Effects 30:17 Efficient Weekly Training Structure 34:51 Afterburn Effect & Fat Oxidation Misconceptions 45:00 VO₂ Max Testing & Fitness Score Tracking 52:00 Peer-Reviewed Research & AI Personalisation 57:30 Real-World VO₂ Max Improvements 1:01:00 How to Get Started & Special Listener Offer VALUABLE RESOURCES ⁠Join The High Performance Health Community⁠ ⁠Click here⁠ for discounts on all the products I personally use and recommend A BIG thank you to our sponsors who make the show possible: Exclusive discount for podcast listeners on Carol Bike - the bike that gets you fittest the fastest - click here WWW.CAROLBIKE.COM and use code ANGELA Hormone Harmony - go to LVLUPHEALTH.COM/ANGELA and use the code ANGELA at checkout for an exclusive 15% off ABOUT THE GUEST Ulrich Dempfle is the CEO and co-founder of CAROL Bike, the world's first Reduced Exertion HIIT (REHIT) exercise bike.

Dr. William Li, a world-renowned physician and scientist, discusses the power of food as medicine and its profound influence on health, including its ability to repair DNA, starve cancer cells, and boost the body's five natural defense systems. Drawing on his extensive research, he reveals how everyday dietary choices can activate healing mechanisms like angiogenesis, regeneration, and immunity, providing actionable insights to optimise metabolism, fight disease, and support longevity KEY TAKEAWAYS: Food acts as medicine by activating the body's five health defense systems: angiogenesis (blood vessel health), regeneration (stem cells), the microbiome, DNA protection, and immunity. The focus should be on adding health-boosting foods you enjoy, such as broccoli sprouts, blueberries, kiwi, and tree nuts, rather than restrictive dieting, as nutritional diversity is key to supporting these defense systems. Simple, consistent dietary changes can rewire your metabolism and help the body regulate sugar, manage inflammation, and burn fat, often reducing reliance on medication. Certain plant-based foods contain bioactives like lycopene (in tomatoes) and polyphenols (in tea and berries) that are critical for supporting the gut microbiome TIMESTAMPS AND KEY TOPICS: 02:06 What people get wrong about fat loss 04:28 How food can activate the body's healing defense systems. 07:48 Dr. Li's research-based meal plan 10:16 Discussion of foods that lower inflammation VALUABLE RESOURCES ⁠Join The High Performance Health Community⁠ ⁠Click here⁠ for discounts on all the products I personally use and recommend A BIG thank you to our sponsors who make the show possible: Full episode link https://lnk.to/EP508  ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster is an award winning Nutritionist, Health & Performance Coach, Speaker and Host of the High Performance Health podcast.

You've probably heard that creatine is just for men who want to bulk up, but that's one of the biggest myths in fitness. The truth? Creatine is one of the most well-researched and effective supplements out there, not just for your muscles, but also for your brain, bones, and mood. And it's especially powerful for women over 35, when hormonal changes start to affect our energy, recovery, and resilience. In this episode, I'm breaking down five science-backed reasons why creatine is a total game changer for women in their 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond. I'll share what the research shows, how to use it safely, and why it can help you feel stronger, sharper, and more balanced, both in and out of the gym. This is a topic that's close to my heart. My own experience with perimenopause taught me just how much our energy, strength, and mood can shift, and how powerful it is when we learn to support our biology instead of fighting against it. KEY TAKEAWAYS Why creatine isn't just for “gym bros” How perimenopause affects your energy, focus, and metabolism The science behind ATP, your body's “cellular battery”, and how creatine recharges it Five key ways creatine supports women over 35: energy booster, muscle protector, brain booster, bone guardian, mood stabilizer. TIMESTAMP 00:00 Debunking creatine myths for women over 35 01:07 Understanding perimenopause and energy changes 02:12 The science behind creatine's benefits 03:53 Creatine as an energy booster 05:03 Muscle recovery and performance enhancement 07:54 Creatine as a muscle protector 09:44 Creatine for brain health and focus 11:55 Bone health and strength 13:10 Creatine as a mood stabilizer 14:35 Final takeaways and next steps VALUABLE RESOURCES The Ultimate Guide to Creatine for Women - Dosage, timing, and what to buy (Free download): https://academy.angelafosterperformance.com/creatine-guide Interview with Dr. Darren Kand - Deep dive into creatine science https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLWaRcKNjMo ⁠Join The High Performance Health Community⁠ ⁠Click here⁠ for discounts on all the products I personally use and recommend A BIG thank you to our sponsors who make the show possible: Hormone Harmony - go to LVLUPHEALTH.COM/ANGELA and use the code ANGELA at checkout for an exclusive 15% off Defender Shield - go to DEFENDERSHIELD.COM/ANGELA and use the code ANGELA at checkout for an exclusive 10% off ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster is an award-winning Nutritionist, Health & Performance Coach, Speaker, and Host of the High Performance Health podcast.

Angela welcomes special guest, Dave Asprey, founder of the biohacking movement, on how unseen, pre-conscious processes in your body, particularly within the mitochondria, dictate your energy, reactions, and susceptibility to emotional triggers. Dave also explains why your body's initial operating system, driven by primal needs—fear, food, and fertility—influences your choices and emotional states before your conscious mind intervenes. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Pre-Conscious Body Decisions: Your body, specifically the mitochondria, processes reality and decides your emotional response within a one-third of a second 'censorship window'  The Five F-Words of the Body's Operating System: The body's primal decisions are based on five priorities: Fear (run away from danger), Food (eat everything), Fertility (reproduce), Friend (support community), and Forgiveness (evolution and emotional editing). Suffering as a Choice: People will unconsciously continue patterns of suffering until the pain is great enough to overcome their internal resistance and they actively choose to change Forgiveness as an Altered State: True forgiveness is a measurable, physiological process that happens in the body, which involves finding gratitude for a small positive outcome from a negative event TIMESTAMPS AND KEY TOPICS: 01:06: EMF exposure and its impact on energy, hormones, and recovery. 04:09: The concept of triggers as a 'loaded gun'. 12:53: Explanation of the body's 'censorship window' and the five F-words 23:44: Health and financial challenges  29:10: The scientific difference between loud, reactive Fear and quiet, faster Intuition VALUABLE RESOURCES ⁠Join The High Performance Health Community⁠ ⁠Click here⁠ for discounts on all the products I personally use and recommend A BIG thank you to our sponsors who make the show possible: Defender Shield - go to ⁠DEFENDERSHIELD.COM/ANGELA⁠ and use the code ANGELA at checkout for an exclusive 10% off Supercharge your energy and upgrade your mitochondria with Mitopure - go to timeline.com/angela and enter code ANGELA to save 10%  QUANTUM UPGRADE - Go to quantumupgrade.io and use code ANGELA15 to get your 15 day free trial.
