Dr Steven R. Gundry is an American physician and low-carbohydrate diet author, most famous for his book 'Unlocking the Keto Code'. He is also the founder of Gundry MD, dedicated to dramatically improving human health, happiness, and longevity through his unique vision of diet and nutrition. Dr Steven joins Angela to talk about mitochondrial uncoupling, specifically how you can eat certain foods designed to turbo-charge your metabolism, effectively wasting calories, enabling you to support energy and vitality while supporting fat loss at the same time. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Mitochondrial Uncoupling: Mitochondrial uncoupling is a process where the mitochondria waste calories to generate heat, which can enhance metabolism and support fat loss Ketones as Signaling Compounds: Contrary to popular belief, ketones are not a super fuel for the body. Instead, they act as signaling compounds Role of Diet in Longevity: Certain foods, such as spices (e.g., black pepper, cinnamon), fermented cheeses, and beverages like tea and red wine, can enhance mitochondrial uncoupling Impact of Cold and Heat Exposure: Both cold exposure and sauna use can uncouple mitochondria, promoting metabolic health TIMESTAMPS AND KEY TOPICS: [00:00:27] Mitochondrial uncoupling explained. [00:05:39] Ketogenic diet for seizure reduction. [00:19:24] Insulin and fat storage. [00:29:04] Cost-of-living hypothesis and aging. [00:49:45] Melatonin in the Mediterranean diet.

For this bitesize, Angela presents a piece of her conversation with Laura Hof, examining the transformative power of the Wim Hof Method, particularly focusing on the benefits of ice baths and breathing techniques for managing stress and enhancing emotional regulation. They discuss how overcoming the immediate stress response triggered by ice baths serves as a metaphor for tackling various stressors in life, ultimately fostering resilience and confidence KEY TAKEAWAYS Ice Bath as a Metaphor for Overcoming Stress: Engaging in an ice bath serves as a powerful metaphor for confronting various stressors in life, such as work challenges or personal limitations Cross Adaptation and Stress Resilience: The practice of enduring an ice bath leads to cross adaptation, where the skills learned in managing one type of stress can be applied to other stressors in life Impact on Emotional Regulation: Women, particularly high achievers, benefit significantly from improved emotional regulation through methods like the Wim Hof technique Scientific Evidence of Brain Changes: Studies indicate that practicing the Wim Hof method can lead to measurable changes in the brain, such as increased activity in the CB1 receptor TIMESTAMPS AND KEY TOPICS [00:00:10] Overcoming stress through ice baths.

KEY TAKEAWAYS: Understanding Grey Area Drinking: Grey area drinking refers to a spectrum of alcohol consumption that falls between occasional drinking and severe alcohol use disorder.  Social and Relationship Challenges: Individuals in the grey area often find it difficult to navigate social situations and relationships, especially if their friends or partners continue to drink.  Importance of Community Support: Having a support system is crucial for those trying to reduce or eliminate alcohol consumption.  Neurotransmitter Effects: Alcohol consumption affects neurotransmitters like GABA and dopamine, leading to a cycle of temporary relief followed by increased anxiety and cravings.  TIMESTAMPS AND KEY TOPICS: [00:00:57] Grey area drinking explained.

This week's bitesize delves into the fascinating world of peptides, particularly focusing on GHK and its role in supporting collagen networks within the body. The discussion highlights the significant collagen loss women experience post-menopause and how this impacts both appearance and joint health, while exploring the benefits of combining GHK with hyaluronic acid and vitamin C to enhance skin health and hydration from the inside out. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Collagen Loss Post-Menopause: Women can lose up to 30% of their collagen within the first five years after menopause, impacting both visual appearance and overall joint health.

Synergistic Effects of Ingredients: Combining GHK with other supplements like hyaluronic acid, collagen peptides, and vitamin C can enhance overall skin health and anti-aging effects, as they work through different mechanisms. Liposomal Delivery: Using liposomes to deliver peptides like GHK improves absorption rates significantly, allowing for better efficacy compared to traditional methods.

Angela talks to Catherine Arnston about the profound concepts of abundance and spiritual connection. Catherine shares her extensive background in Kabbalah and mindfulness, emphasising that abundance is our birthright and how our perception of reality can limit our ability to receive. The conversation explores the importance of being a vessel for energy, the significance of heart coherence, and the impact of trauma on our capacity to embrace abundance. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Abundance is our natural state, and it is essential to recognise that we are vessels for infinite energy. True abundance comes from operating from the heart, which is always in a state of wholeness and peace.  Many individuals struggle with receiving abundance due to unhealed trauma and limiting beliefs. Establishing a spiritual practice is vital for personal growth and abundance. Engaging in daily rituals, such as gratitude prayers or meditation, can help individuals connect with their higher selves and the divine BEST MOMENTS "We are each a vessel for the infinite... the energy that is swirling the rings around Saturn is the same energy that is flowing through us."  "When you're moving from your mind, which is all ego driven, you'll just keep pushing abundance further and further away."  "You can't have more of something you have a bad relationship with."  "When you believe God is your provision, you're unattached to money.

Angela is joined by special guest, Catharine Arnston to talk about the health benefits of two powerful algae: spirulina and chlorella. Spirulina is highlighted as a "brain food" that energises both mentally and physically, making it ideal for fitness enthusiasts and those on a weight loss journey.

Chlorella with its high chlorophyll content, can support blood health and immune function. Detoxification Benefits: Chlorella has a unique cellulose wall that allows it to bind to and remove toxins, heavy metals, and pesticides from the body Gut Health and Immune Support: Chlorella supports gut health by providing fibre necessary for a healthy gut biome TIMESTAMPS AND KEY TOPICS: 02:12 Chlorella as a wellness tool. 05:02 Chlorophyll's health benefits explained. 07:34 Alkaline diet benefits for health. 11:48 Chlorella and immune system health. 13:53 Benefits of chlorella for digestion.

⚡️Tim shares his favourite biohacks, including cellular health, proper hydration, the power of grounding and much more.

This episode of High Performance Health is a powerful reminder that the true path to longevity isn’t found in chasing supplement stacks or living to 160—it’s about becoming immune to aging by mastering the fundamentals. Angela sits down with Dr Jenna Macciochi, immunologist, author, and high-performance breathwork coach, to explore how chronic inflammation, lifestyle, mindset, and motherhood all shape our biological age far more than we realize. Dr Jenna's new book Immune to Age presents a revolutionary framework: understanding the immune system as a dynamic force through the seasons of life—from birth to old age. In this heartfelt, science-rich conversation, Jenna and Angela dive into everything from burnout and HRV to intuition, parenting, alcohol, and the myth of the perfect biohacking protocol. This is the longevity conversation every woman needs to hear. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Chronic Inflammation: The Silent Driver of Aging : The immune system's slow burn of inflammation is the root cause behind most chronic diseases and early aging. The Parenting Connection: Children phase-lock to their mother’s HRV—your emotional regulation teaches them how to regulate themselves. Burnout & Intuition: Ignoring your intuition and pushing through stress leads to burnout. Slowing down and listening is the real path to resilience. Longevity Isn’t Just About Data: Healthspan matters more than lifespan. Fancy tests are fun, but it’s the basics—food, movement, sleep, breath—that move the needle. Alcohol, Sleep & Energy: Giving up alcohol even temporarily can have a massive ripple effect on mood, energy, and parenting. Immune System Through the Life Course: From womb to old age, your immune system evolves—and it’s never too early or too late to care for it. TIMESTAMPS AND KEY TOPICS: 0:00 – Introduction 3:49 – Why healthspan matters more than lifespan 8:34 – Advice for working women juggling everything 12:15 – How meditation rewires stress and physiology 16:42 – Garbage time, HRV, and parenting insights 22:23 – Female intuition, hormones & relationships 29:10 – Jenna’s daily health and movement routine 34:28 – Alcohol and the “tiny experiment” approach 41:52 – Jenna’s new book: Immune to Age 49:37 – Cancer, inflammation & microbiome connection 59:24 – How to filter conflicting wellness advice 1:00:16 – Tests that matter (and those that don’t) VALUABLE RESOURCES Get a free snapshot of your health and personalised report at www.yourtotalhealthcheck.com 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: LVLUP HEALTH: Slow aging, repair gut health boost collagen and recovery and more with LVLUP Health’s amazing products.

In this rich and deeply personal episode of the High Performance Health Podcast, Angela sits down once again with her good friend and repeat guest Tony Wrighton for a powerful conversation about the real drivers of longevity. This is not your typical biohacking talk—Tony shares why mindset, identity, and nervous system regulation might be more important than any supplement stack or cold plunge when it comes to aging well. They explore the dangers of over-biohacking, how subconscious beliefs affect your healthspan, and why emotional regulation, human connection, and the way you talk to yourself could add more years to your life than any wearable device. Angela and Tony also open up about parenting, histamine intolerance, HRV hacks, and how to rewire your habits and behaviors from the inside out. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Mindset Drives Longevity: A positive belief system around aging can add up to seven years to your life—more than giving up smoking. Cold Plunges Aren’t Always Healing: For anxious or overstimulated types, daily cold plunges may increase stress, not reduce it. Human Connection Heals: Simple moments like cuddling your kids or laughing with loved ones can measurably spike your HRV. Tracking Creates Lasting Change: Tony shares his daily accountability method with WhatsApp and how it keeps habits on track long-term. Overdoing Biohacks Can Backfire: Supplements, fasting, and intense training may accelerate aging if not balanced with recovery and intuition. Histamine Intolerance & Longevity: Stress and inflammation drive histamine issues, and Tony explains how mindset and air quality play a role in relief. TIMESTAMPS AND KEY TOPICS:0:00 – Introduction 3:58 – The stress-histamine connection 7:45 – What Tony learned from Portugal and HRV 10:23 – Oxytocin, cuddles, and nervous system healing 16:02 – How to rewire limiting beliefs 18:45 – Activating parasympathetic healing through rituals 21:22 – How to maintain breakthroughs post-retreat 23:24 – WhatsApp tracking for habit accountability 27:08 – Red light therapy and sinus health 36:39 – Monetising expertise through self-publishing VALUABLE RESOURCES Get a free snapshot of your health and personalised report at www.yourtotalhealthcheck.com 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: LVLUP HEALTH: Slow aging, repair gut health boost collagen and recovery and more with LVLUP Health’s amazing products.

You’re working out harder than ever—but the belly fat won’t budge, your energy’s inconsistent, and the mirror doesn’t reflect how you feel inside. Sound familiar? In this BiteSize episode, I sit down with Dr. Stephanie Estima to unpack exactly what’s going on during perimenopause—and how to train smarter, not harder. We break down the biggest workout mistakes women make in their 40s, why HIIT can sometimes do more harm than good, and how building your upper body can completely reshape your figure and fire up your metabolism. Whether you’ve got PCOS, feel like your workouts aren’t working anymore, or just want to look and feel like YOU again—this episode is packed with science-backed solutions that actually work. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Why Your Old Workouts Fail: Perimenopause shifts your hormonal landscape—meaning what worked before likely won’t now. The Belly Fat Mystery: Fat migrates to your midsection due to hormonal and metabolic changes, but it can be reversed. The Power of Upper Body Training: Shoulders and back are key for creating symmetry and visual balance—don’t skip them! The HIIT Mistake Most Women Make: Too much intensity (especially long HIIT classes) can backfire by raising cortisol and exhausting you. Temporary Keto for PCOS & Belly Fat: A short-term carb reduction can improve insulin sensitivity and reduce visceral fat—but it's not forever. TIMESTAMPS AND KEY TOPICS: 0:00 – Introduction 1:10 – Upper body training for the hourglass shape 4:21 – Angela on PCOS, body shape, and sculpting curves 5:33 – Stephanie’s exercise pyramid explained 7:20 – How much HIIT is too much (hint: once a week max) 9:30 – Temporary keto to reset insulin and fat metabolism 10:10 – Why carbs do matter (eventually) VALUABLE RESOURCES Get a free snapshot of your health and personalised report at www.yourtotalhealthcheck.com Join The High Performance Health Community Link to the full episode - https://lnk.to/EP_407 A BIG thank you to our sponsors who make the show possible: Sign up to my Fresh Start Newsletter: Start your week feeling in control with one simple, science-backed step for your hormones, health and longevity—get your free weekly fresh start at angelafoster.me/freshstart ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster is an award winning Nutritionist, Health & Performance Coach, Speaker and Host of the High Performance Health podcast.

What if you could naturally rewire your brain to feel more motivated, focused, and emotionally balanced—without needing to escape life, go off-grid, or take a two-week digital detox? In this powerful re-release, Angela sits down with neuroscientist and author TJ Power to explore The Dose Effect—his revolutionary framework for recalibrating your brain’s chemistry using four key neurochemicals: dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins (aka DOSE).

You’ve heard that staying hydrated is key to better health—but what if drinking more water isn’t enough? In this powerful episode, Angela sits down with quantum biology expert Carrie Bennett to reveal why true hydration depends on how water behaves inside your cells—not just how much you drink. Carrie shares the science behind structured water (EZ water) and why it holds the key to energy, cellular health, and resilience. From chronic fatigue to gut issues, discover how water’s structure, mineral content, and energetic charge can make all the difference in how you feel—especially if you’re doing “everything right” and still feel off. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Structured Water Is the Missing Link: The water inside your cells behaves like a gel, not a liquid—and this structure powers energy production. Minerals Matter More Than You Think: Mineral-rich, structured water supports hydration at the cellular level—plain RO or distilled water won’t cut it unless remineralised. Why Tap Water May Be Harming You: Carrie breaks down the toxic load hidden in tap water—think fluoride, chlorine, and microplastics. Water Has Memory and Energy: Natural spring water carries geometric patterns that convey information to your body—this goes beyond hydration into quantum healing. How to Re-Structure Your Water at Home: From mineral drops to vortexers and light exposure, simple hacks can re-energise your water and your cells. TIMESTAMPS AND KEY TOPICS: 0:00 — Why drinking water isn’t enough 0:57 — Carrie’s burnout story and the limits of Western tools 4:20 — The body is 70% water—what does that really mean? 5:05 — Dr. Gerald Pollack and the 4th phase of water 8:55 — Spring water, filters, and why structure matters 9:42 — Is your water helping or harming you? 11:00 — How nature-structured water holds energy and healing info VALUABLE RESOURCES Get a free snapshot of your health and personalised report at www.yourtotalhealthcheck.com Join The High Performance Health Community Link to the full episode - https://lnk.to/EP422 A BIG thank you to our sponsors who make the show possible: LVLUP HEALTH: Slow aging, repair gut health boost collagen and recovery and more with LVLUP Health’s amazing products.

Jeff shares his raw and relatable journey from burnout and pre-diabetes to total life realignment—using fasting, breathwork, spiritual philosophy, and muscle building not just to lose 70 pounds but to become the man, father, and leader he always knew he could be.

What if the secret to longevity, fat loss, and hormonal balance wasn’t a punishing workout—but a powerful, restorative walk? In today’s Bite Size episode, Angela shares a clip from her conversation with health renegade Mark Sisson, where they bust the myth that running is the pinnacle of fitness. Mark, once one of the top marathoners in the U.S., reveals why he hasn’t run a mile in 30 years and how walking became the foundation of his health philosophy. From cortisol-driven fat gain to the myths propagated by the shoe industry, this eye-opening episode will make you rethink your relationship with movement. If you're a woman in midlife craving more energy, fewer injuries, and a smarter approach to fitness—this one's for you. Tune in to discover why you were truly Born to Walk. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Walking Reduces Inflammation: One of the most accessible ways to lower cortisol and support blood sugar. Running Can Be Catabolic: Chronic running often leads to muscle breakdown and fat storage due to elevated cortisol. Fat-Burning Secret: Walking helps you burn fat instead of glycogen, supporting better body composition. Rethink Endorphins: Many people don’t love running—they love the feeling after and the label it gives them. Sprinting + Lifting = Longevity: A minimalist combo of walking, sprinting once a week, and strength training wins for healthspan. TIMESTAMPS AND KEY TOPICS: 0:01 – Introduction 1:58 – Mark on why humans were designed to walk—not run 3:10 – Lymphatic flow, digestion, and the dangers of chronic cardio 5:52 – Runners vs. self-selecting walkers: the psychological shift 8:15 – Mark breaks down how running triggers cortisol and muscle loss 11:09 – Body composition, hormonal shifts, and why women should walk more 13:45 – Cortisol, glucose, and why elite runners struggle with muscle mass 14:30 – The role of footwear in injuries and how minimalist movement restores balance VALUABLE RESOURCES Get a free snapshot of your health and personalised report at www.yourtotalhealthcheck.com Join The High Performance Health Community Link to full episode https://lnk.to/EP430 A BIG thank you to our sponsors who make the show possible: Get 20% off the Creatine I love at trycreate.co/ANGELA20, and use code ANGELA20 to save 20% on your first order.

If you’re worried about memory loss or have a family history of Alzheimer’s, this episode is a must-listen. Angela sits down with world-renowned neurologist and author Dr. Dale Bredesen to unpack the groundbreaking science behind Alzheimer’s prevention and reversal—even if you carry the APOE4 gene. With over 30 years of research, Dr. Bredesen shares how to optimise your brain health through metabolic flexibility, inflammation control, and personalised interventions. In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Angela also opens up about her own genetic risk and experience caring for her mum with Alzheimer’s. They explore why cognitive decline is not inevitable and how Dr. Bredesen’s new book, The Ageless Brain, is putting the power back into your hands. Whether you're 35 or 75, the steps to preserve your cognition start now—and the tools have never been more accessible. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Alzheimer’s Is Preventable and Reversible: Dr. Bredesen explains how addressing root causes like inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and toxicity can stop and even reverse cognitive decline. Perimenopause and Brain Fog: Oestrogen loss affects brain energy metabolism, making perimenopausal women more vulnerable to cognitive decline. Your Brain Runs on Supply & Demand: Cognitive health depends on supporting your brain’s high energy needs while reducing inflammatory load and toxic exposure. Check Your Cognitive Biomarkers Early: Blood markers like P-Tau217, GFAP, and A-beta42 can reveal risk decades before symptoms appear. Lifestyle = Medicine: Sleep quality, insulin sensitivity, resistance training, brain stimulation, and even stress reduction all play a critical role. GLP-1s and Alzheimer’s Risk: While popular for weight loss, these drugs may negatively impact cognition in some people—especially APOE4 homozygotes.

If you're navigating midlife and feeling like your body has started working against you—despite clean eating and consistent workouts—this episode is your wake-up call. Angela is joined by functional nutritionist Louise Digby to explore the lesser-known culprits behind stubborn weight, fatigue, and hormonal havoc in perimenopause. Forget willpower. This conversation reframes weight loss resistance through the lens of gut health, toxic load, and nutrient insufficiencies. From brittle nails and dry skin to unexpected acne flare-ups, Louise uncovers the hidden metabolic and hormonal messages your body is sending—and how to respond with science, not shame. KEY TAKEAWAYS Gut Health Trumps Willpower: Many women have gut imbalances without symptoms—but these silent issues can stall fat loss and disrupt hormones. Toxic Load Sabotages Hormones: Environmental toxins from skincare, pollutants, and food can overwhelm your liver and impair hormone detox pathways. Nutrient Insufficiencies Are Common: Even with a healthy diet, modern stress and poor soil deplete key nutrients like magnesium, B vitamins, and vitamin D. Metabolic Clues You’re Missing: Cold hands, brittle nails, poor recovery, and stubborn weight can all signal compromised metabolic health—not laziness. Histamine Intolerance in Perimenopause: Symptoms like rosacea, joint pain, and sinus issues may be worsened by declining histamine tolerance and poor gut health. One Size Doesn’t Fit All: Every woman’s root cause is different—testing and personalised nutrition are key to reclaiming energy and vitality. TIMESTAMPS AND KEY TOPICS 0:00 – Introduction 1:05 – Silent gut issues and how they sabotage fat loss 2:21 – Toxic load: from skincare to hormonal disruption 3:52 – Why good diets still result in nutrient insufficiencies 5:03 – Clues your metabolism is slowing down 6:48 – Top nutrient gaps: B vitamins, magnesium, vitamin D 9:36 – The hair loss and iron connection in perimenopause 12:14 – Why adult acne and rosacea emerge in perimenopause 13:09 – Histamine intolerance, joint pain, and the gut-skin link VALUABLE RESOURCES Get a free snapshot of your health and personalised report at www.yourtotalhealthcheck.com Join The High Performance Health Community A BIG thank you to our sponsors who make the show possible: Sign up to my Fresh Start Newsletter: Start your week feeling in control with one simple, science-backed step for your hormones, health and longevity—get your free weekly fresh start at angelafoster.me/freshstart ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster is an award winning Nutritionist, Health & Performance Coach, Speaker and Host of the High Performance Health podcast.

In this powerhouse episode, Angela sits down with Darren Candow, a leading expert on creatine and Professor and Director of the Aging Muscle and Bone Health Laboratory at the University of Regina, Canada. Darren is also the Director of Research for the Athlete Health and Performance Initiative and past Associate Dean of Graduate Studies and Research in the Faculty of Kinesiology and Health Studies. Together, they unpack the groundbreaking science behind one of the most misunderstood supplements. From brain energetics and mood stability to bone density, fat loss, and anti-aging, this is your comprehensive guide to creatine beyond the gym. Angela and Darren explore the myths, the mechanisms, and the real-world applications of creatine—especially for women navigating perimenopause, high stress, and cognitive load. Whether you’re looking to train smarter, improve memory and sleep, or simply age with more energy and resilience, this masterclass will change the way you think about creatine forever. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Creatine for Cognitive Health: It crosses the blood-brain barrier slowly but significantly, especially under stress or sleep deprivation.

Body Composition Benefits: Contrary to myth, creatine reduces body fat over time and improves lean mass, even in women. Mental Health & Resilience: Early evidence shows potential benefits for depression, anxiety, and sleep quality. Safer Than You Think: Creatine does not cause kidney issues or hair loss—these myths are finally being debunked with new data.

What if the key to lasting behavior change, personal growth, and feeling more confident wasn't about setting epic goals—but running tiny experiments? In this mind-expanding episode, Angela sits down with Anne-Laure Le Cunff—founder of Ness Labs and author of Tiny Experiments—to explore how small tests rooted in curiosity can lead to powerful transformations in every area of your life. From alcohol-free living to productivity hacks, sleep rhythms, and navigating health advice in the age of information overwhelm, this conversation will shift your perspective on goal-setting and self-optimization. Anne-Laure shares why most people get stuck trying to rationalize decisions instead of following data from their own lived experience—and how becoming an “agent of change” helps us reclaim control in an ever-changing world. KEY TAKEAWAYS: The Problem with Pros & Cons Lists: We often use them to justify decisions we've already made rather than explore truth objectively. How to Run Tiny Experiments: Focus on curiosity, one measurable variable, and a fixed timeframe to discover what truly works for you. Why Habit Challenges Often Fail: Without curiosity and internal motivation, behavior doesn’t shift—experimentation creates sustainable change. The Plus-Minus-Next Framework: A simple self-reflection tool to assess what’s working, what’s not, and what to try next—without judgment. Letting Go of Epic Goals: Big dreams can be paralyzing—often, purpose and passion emerge through action, not planning. Becoming Your Own Scientist: Whether it’s a new supplement, workout time, or meditation habit, take charge with your own data-informed experiments.

Angela presents a bitesize in which she explores the profound impact of stress on metabolism and female sex hormones, drawing insights from the works of renowned author Lara Briden. They discuss the autonomic nervous system's role in metabolic health, emphasising the importance of balancing the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. The conversation highlights practical stress management techniques, such as yoga and outdoor activities, and introduces key supplements that can support metabolic health, including magnesium, taurine, choline, inositol, and glycine KEY TAKEAWAYS: Stress significantly affects metabolism and female sex hormones, with the autonomic nervous system playing a crucial role in regulating these processes. Balancing the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems can lead to improved metabolic health and reduced premenstrual symptoms. Monitoring heart rate variability is an effective, non-invasive method to assess the health of the autonomic nervous system. Higher HRV indicates better adaptability and balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems, which is essential for overall health. For women of reproductive age, regular ovulation is a strong indicator of healthy metabolism and a well-functioning autonomic nervous system. Tracking menstrual cycles and ovulation can provide valuable insights into metabolic health. Key nutrients that are often deficient in modern diets include magnesium, taurine, choline, inositol, and glycine. These nutrients support metabolic health, calm the nervous system, and improve insulin sensitivity. BEST MOMENTS "The autonomic nervous system is very involved in metabolic health... it's controlling blood sugar, hunger, energy expenditure." "Regular ovulation is a pretty good sign that metabolism is healthy, that the autonomic nervous system is working well." "Magnesium and taurine... both help to support healthy mitochondria. They calm the nervous system." "I think so many women... are still carrying a lot of that load... that is actually really wreaking havoc with their metabolism."

Angela dives deep with special guest Nikolina Lauc on the subject of biological aging and the role of glycans in our immune system. They discuss how glycans, complex sugars that coat our cells, influence our biological aging and immune function, particularly in the context of chronic inflammation. Nikolina explains the differences between various biological age tests, such as telomere and methylation testing, highlighting the advantages of glycan testing for individual assessments. KEY TAKEAWAYS Glycans are complex sugars that play a crucial role in cellular communication and immune function. They influence biological aging by affecting inflammation and immune responses, with changes in glycan patterns indicating shifts in health status over time. Biological age can differ significantly from chronological age, as it reflects the state of one's immune system and overall health. Glycan testing provides a more accurate measure of biological age, allowing individuals to understand their health trajectory better. Chronic stress, whether from work or personal life, can accelerate biological aging. Lifestyle factors such as exercise, sleep, and nutrition significantly influence glycan profiles, with moderate exercise being beneficial while excessive training can lead to increased inflammation. Women experience a notable acceleration in biological aging during perimenopause due to declining estrogen levels, which can lead to increased inflammation. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can help mitigate this effect and improve glycan age. BEST MOMENTS "Glycans are complex sugars... Most of our molecules have glycans as a component, so all cells are coated in these complex sugars." "Bad news is also good news if you're looking at the glycan perspective, because we would see these different glycosylation patterns change up to 10 years prior to symptoms." "Stress is in your mind or it's a mind response... We're the only species that can create this fight or flight without actually having to run from a lion." "If you have acceleration in glycogen as an individual, this is predictive of an outcome, mortality, morbidity."

Angela welcomes back Ben Azadi, author of the new book "Metabolic Freedom" to delve into the critical differences between metabolic freedom and the common state of metabolic prison, where individuals are trapped in a cycle of sugar burning and insulin resistance. Ben shares insights from his extensive research, stressing the importance of maintaining balanced blood sugar levels and the role of muscle mass in enhancing insulin sensitivity, while Angela recounts her personal journey with PCOS and how dietary changes transformed her health. KEY TAKEAWAYS Many individuals are trapped in a "metabolic prison," primarily burning sugar for energy, which can lead to insulin resistance and various health issues. In contrast, metabolic freedom allows the body to efficiently switch between burning sugar and fat, promoting better energy levels and overall health. High insulin levels are a precursor to metabolic diseases, including diabetes and heart disease. Regular testing of fasting insulin levels is crucial for assessing metabolic health, with optimal levels being in the single digits. Increasing muscle mass through strength training enhances insulin sensitivity and helps regulate blood sugar levels. Maintaining muscle as one ages can prevent metabolic slowdown and promote better health outcomes. Focusing solely on calorie counting can be misleading. Instead, prioritizing the quality of food—such as whole, unprocessed foods—can lead to better hormonal balance and overall health, making weight loss a natural side effect of improved health. Chronic stress can lead to elevated cortisol levels, which promote fat storage and hinder fat burning. Managing stress through various methods, including exercise and mindfulness, is essential for maintaining metabolic health and overall well-being. BEST MOMENTS "Unfortunately, most people are in a metabolic prison. They're handcuffed by food in order to have some short energy... when you are stuck burning sugar, it's not a fun way to live." "I think the misconception is that if we don't have good control of our metabolism, then we're going to look overweight. I certainly didn't... I was slim and fit and looked fine." "High levels of insulin... it's the first domino to fall that leads to all these metabolic diseases. It starts with high blood pressure, you start gaining weight, and then it's pre-diabetes." "We have a slight advantage insofar as we have a menstrual cycle and we can check what's going on... I think that maybe we're a little more conscious of our health because we get these signs."
