    Forever Strong - Why Muscle is Key to Longevity with Dr Gabrielle Lyon

    Forever Strong - Why Muscle is Key to Longevity with Dr Gabrielle Lyon

    Angela is joined by Dr. Gabrielle Lyon who’s here to discuss her new book, "Forever Strong," which focuses on the importance of skeletal muscle health for overall well-being. Dr. Lyon shares insights on preventing muscle wastage, especially in the context of aging and hormonal changes like menopause, focusing on the significance of starting early with resistance training and proper nutrition to maintain skeletal muscle mass.

    They also investigate the relationship between physical strength and mental resilience, highlighting the role of courage, perseverance, self-discipline, adaptability, and resilience in achieving overall strength.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Nutrition plays a crucial role in supporting healthy skeletal muscle mass, with a recommended protein intake of 1 gram per pound of ideal body weight.
    • The discrepancy between DEXA and in-body scans for measuring body fat percentage highlights the need for alternative methods like waist-to-hip ratio for those without access to advanced scans.
    • Building mental strength is just as important as physical strength, with attributes like courage, perseverance, self-discipline, adaptability, and resilience being key factors.
    • Dr. Gabrielle's "Forever Strong" community offers a supportive platform for individuals to access resources, training programs, recipes, and engage in discussions on health and fitness.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "It is much more dangerous to lose skeletal muscle mass than it is to gain fat. So we have focused all about adipose tissue, but actually, who cares about that?"

    "The biggest, most exciting thing that I'm thrilled about is that we get questions like this all the time. So I have created a community and it's called a forever strong community."

    "The first thing that I would say is, What have you ever done worthwhile that didn't require courage?"

    "I was told I would never come off bipolar medication. And now I'm completely medication free and I credit that to the daily discipline of looking after myself."

    Beat Perimenopause Fatigue & Weight Gain: Top Nutrient Deficiencies and How to Fix Them with Louise Digby

    Beat Perimenopause Fatigue & Weight Gain: Top Nutrient Deficiencies and How to Fix Them with Louise Digby

    Angela is joined by Louise Digby, who discusses her passion for helping women optimise their metabolism and harmonise their hormones.

    Louise shares her journey of specialising in hormonal health after noticing common challenges women face with weight loss, especially after the age of 35. Louise also delves into the key factors that can hinder weight loss, such as gut health, toxic load, and nutrient deficiencies.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Gut health, high toxic load, and nutrient deficiencies are common factors that can hinder weight loss and hormonal balance in women.
    • Nutritional insufficiencies, such as B vitamins, magnesium, and zinc, can significantly impact metabolism and lead to symptoms like fatigue and hair issues.
    • Addressing cravings by listening to the body's signals for specific nutrients can help improve overall health and reduce the reliance on unhealthy foods.
    • Fasting can be a useful tool for weight loss and health improvement, but it should be introduced gradually and monitored closely, especially for individuals with high stress levels or intense exercise routines.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "Belly fat isn't caused by greed or laziness and overindulgence. It's typically caused by an imbalance in hormones, namely high cortisol and sometimes insulin as well."

    "I think it's really important to have the foundations in place before incorporating fasting. It can add an extra stress burden, especially for highly stressed individuals."

    "Food really is information. It's nutrition. We need to focus on adding in the stuff that we're lacking as opposed to obsessing over what we can't eat."

    "The reality was about 80% of those strategies were similar. The other 20% was the nuances that we found within the individual."

    "I think if your sleep is hyper optimised, if you're consuming enough protein feedings a day, and it's worth highlighting that that is the biggest downside of intermittent fasting."

Brian emphasises the importance of living with Arete to close the gap between one's potential and actual self. They discuss the significance of energy, work, and love as the "big three" fundamentals for a fulfilling life.

    The conversation touches on topics such as building anti-fragile confidence, the role of meditation in improving consciousness, and the necessity of humility in maintaining success. Brian shares practical tips for optimising daily routines, focusing on the process rather than the outcome, and cultivating a mindset of continuous improvement

    "The higher the mountain, the more important the most basic fundamentals are. You better be doing the smallest little things well."

    "I adamantly do not agree with the basic idea of the law of attraction that states that you simply need to imagine that which you want to see manifested in your life."

    "I love the separation between the process and the outcome. Clearly we want to have goals, outcome goals that we're thinking about."

    "The first and most importantly, think about that. What would a masterpiece day look like for you?"

    Bitesize Biohack: Longevity, Detoxification & Cellular Energy with Dr Christopher Shade

    Bitesize Biohack: Longevity,  Detoxification & Cellular Energy with Dr Christopher Shade

    Angela is joined by Dr Christopher Shade to talk about the importance of phosphatidylcholine in the body and how it plays a crucial role in cell membranes and organelles. They also delve into the significance of maintaining healthy membranes for optimal biochemical power and the consequences of damaged membranes. The conversation then shifts to the topic of toxicity, specifically mercury, and the process of detoxification.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Phosphatidylcholine is an important component of cell membranes and membranous organelles, and its deficiency can lead to cell disruption and dysfunction.
    • Membranes play a crucial role in driving biochemical power in the body by separating opposites and maintaining polarity.
    • Mercury toxicity can be a concern, especially from consuming larger fish like tuna and swordfish. Choosing smaller fish with lower mercury levels is recommended.
    • Mercury detox involves using glutathione and glutathione S-transferase to release mercury from proteins in cells, pushing it out of the cell with the help of ATP and magnesium, and eliminating it through bile flow and stool.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "Membrane drives all biochemical power in the body by separating opposites." - Interviewee

    "You can eat those as your sole protein source three times a day and never become toxic." - Interviewee

    "The way you do mercury detox, and this is really a model for how you do all detox." - Interviewee

    "We should live really strongly past our 80s. We should pretty easily get up to around 100."

She breaks down the concept of oestrogen dominance and explains that it can occur due to various factors such as excess oestrogen production, impaired oestrogen breakdown, and exposure to oestrogen mimickers in the environment.

    Dr. Milli also talks about the importance of understanding the role of hormones in the body and how they can be influenced by lifestyle factors such as nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress management, addressing the challenges in diagnosing and treating hormone imbalances within the current medical system, highlighting the need for more research and personalised approaches to care.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Oestrogen dominance is a complex issue that can occur through multiple mechanisms, including high oestrogen levels, low progesterone levels, and exposure to xenoestrogens.
    • Lifestyle factors such as nutrition, exercise, sleep, and avoiding toxic substances play a crucial role in hormone balance and overall health.
    • Perimenopause is a phase characterised by fluctuating and declining oestrogen levels, which can lead to various symptoms such as weight gain, brain fog, and mood changes.
    • Personalised management plans, including hormone replacement therapy (HRT), can be beneficial for women experiencing perimenopausal symptoms, but lifestyle changes should also be incorporated.
    • Body identical HRT, which includes oestrogen and progesterone, is the recommended approach, while bioidentical HRT is unregulated and lacks robust clinical trials. Progesterone therapy can be individualised based on patient needs and preferences.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "We know oestrogen is broken down and then we look at those oestrogen metabolites... they have been associated and correlated with certain health conditions."

    "We need to remember that [the NHS] is an excellent system for people who are presenting who are unwell and not necessarily people who are wanting preventative care."

    "Nutrition is the biggest pillar in the chapter in my book... eating unprocessed whole foods is very important."

    Bitesize: Unlocking Vitality -The Secret Hack to Skyrocket Your Metabolism & Energy with Dr Steven Gundry

    Bitesize: Unlocking Vitality -The Secret Hack to Skyrocket Your Metabolism & Energy with Dr Steven Gundry

    Angela presents a bitesize featuring Dr. Stephen Gundry, a renowned cardiologist and author, focussing upon mitochondrial uncoupling, a fascinating process that can turbocharge metabolism and aid in weight loss. Dr. Gundry explains how mitochondria, the powerhouses of our cells, generate energy through the coupling of oxygen and protons.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Mitochondrial uncoupling is a process that turns cells into high-performance machines, similar to a Ferrari.
    • Uncoupling allows mitochondria to release excess pressure and protect themselves from damage caused by the energy production process.
    • Uncoupling leads to the generation of heat, which helps in maintaining body temperature.
    • Uncoupling also reduces the workload of each mitochondrion, allowing them to divide and create more mitochondria within a cell.
    • Older people who are thriving and individuals in blue zones have highly uncoupled mitochondria, which contributes to their longevity and overall health.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "Believe it or not, the best way to keep your mitochondrial healthy is to uncouple them."

    "We reduce the work of each mitochondria, but because mitochondria have their own DNA, they can divide and make more mitochondria within a cell without the cell dividing."

    "And then you start looking at some of the blue zones, and it turns out that the food that these blue zones eat our foods that hopefully we'll talk about are really good at uncoupling mitochondria."

    "There's a theory of aging called the cost of living hypothesis. And it's quite a nice theory. And that says the higher your metabolic rate, the shorter your lifespan."

    Unlocking Hidden Doors: The Role of Psychedelics in Healing Anxiety, Depression & Expanding Human Consciousness with Matt Zemon

    Unlocking Hidden Doors: The Role of Psychedelics in Healing Anxiety, Depression & Expanding Human Consciousness with Matt Zemon

    Angela talks to author and psychedelics expert Matt Zemon, about psychedelics and their potential for personal growth and healing.

    Matt shares his personal journey with psychedelics, including his first experience and the profound insights he gained. They discuss the importance of intention, set, and setting when using psychedelics, as well as the different types of psychedelics and their effects.

    Matt emphasises the role of integration in harnessing the transformative power of these substances and how they can help individuals connect with their true selves and experience a sense of interconnectedness

     

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Psychedelics can be a catalyst for personal growth and self-discovery, but they are not a cure-all and should be approached with caution.
    • The three key factors for reducing risk when using psychedelics are source (knowing where the medicine comes from), set (having the right mindset and intention), and setting (creating a safe and supportive physical environment).
    • Different psychedelics have different effects and purposes. For example, MDMA can be used for treating PTSD, psilocybin can facilitate deep introspection, and DMT can provide profound spiritual experiences.
    • Integration work is crucial after a psychedelic experience to incorporate the insights and lessons into everyday life.
    • Psychedelics can also be beneficial for end-of-life care, helping individuals and their families navigate the process with more peace and acceptance.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "The first thing they're going to do is quiet down your default mode network. So that's that inner narrator that is constantly telling you you're not enough, you need to do more, you're not worthy."

    "I think that combination of three medicines over a few days is really a powerful arc."

    "It's so interesting what you're saying. So interesting. I remember being with my father when he passed away and just realizing in those final moments, the just how much human touch could make a difference."

    Bitesize: Banish Brain Fog, Boost Mood & Support Healthy Oestrogen Levels

    Bitesize: Banish Brain Fog, Boost Mood & Support Healthy Oestrogen Levels

    www.angelafosterperformance.com/hormones

    Angela discusses the topic of oestrogen and its impact on women's health during perimenopause, focussing on the various symptoms that can arise when oestrogen levels drop, such as hot flashes, brain fog, low mood, irritability, and anxiety.

    Angela provides valuable nutritional strategies to support healthy oestrogen levels, including incorporating phytoestrogen-rich foods like nuts, flax seeds, soy, and red clover. Omega-3 fatty acids from sources like oily fish and grass-fed meat are recommended to boost serotonin levels and alleviate mood-related symptoms. Cruciferous vegetables, probiotics, and foods rich in polyphenols are also highlighted for their ability to support gut health and oestrogen metabolism.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Phytoestrogens, found in foods like nuts, flax seeds, soy, red clover, pomegranate, and kudzu, can help alleviate menopausal symptoms by improving oestrogen levels.
    • Omega-3 fatty acids, found in oily fish like salmon, mackerel, anchovies, sardines, and herrings, can help boost serotonin levels and improve mood during perimenopause.
    • Cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, bok choy, brussels sprouts, kale, mustard, kohlrabi, and turnip, contain DIM, which can shift oestrogen metabolism to favour healthy oestrogen metabolites.
    • Consuming probiotic-rich foods like live yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi, kombucha, and limited amounts of sourdough bread can support a healthy microbiome and oestrogen levels.
    • Calcium D Glucarate, found in fruits and vegetables like Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cabbage, and apples, can inhibit enzymes that contribute to breast and colon cancer and reduce oestrogen absorption from the digestive tract.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "Perimenopause can be a bit of a curve ball for many women." (Host)

    "Phytoestrogens have healthy oestrogen-like activity that can help alleviate menopausal symptoms." (Host)

    "Omega-3 fatty acids can help improve low mood and serotonin levels." (Host)

    "Cruciferous vegetables contain DIM, which can shift oestrogen metabolism to favour friendly oestrogen metabolites." (Host)

    "Good quality fats are associated with a lower risk of heart disease and breast cancer."

    The Impact of Birth Control On Stress with Dr Sarah E Hill

    The Impact of Birth Control On Stress with Dr Sarah E Hill

    Angela and guest Dr Sarah Hill discuss the fascinating research on the stress response and cortisol in relation to hormonal birth control, highlighting the profound influence of sex hormones on the body and how women on hormonal birth control have a blunted cortisol response to stress.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Women on hormonal birth control have a blunted cortisol response to stress.
    • Cortisol is beneficial in the short term for coping with stress and memory formation.
    • Chronic exposure to cortisol can be detrimental to the body, leading to a shutdown of the stress response.
    • Women on the birth control pill exhibit a blunted cortisol response similar to individuals with PTSD or trauma.
    • The first three months of birth control pill use may cause the HPA axis to go into overdrive, leading to a shutdown of the stress response.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "Cortisol helps our body and our brain cope with whatever it is that we're experiencing that's stressful."

    "Women who are on the birth control pill exhibit this blunted cortisol response to stress because they essentially have the HPA axis, which is the brain adrenal axis, which is the thing that drives cortisol release and regulates cortisol release."

    "I think the body goes into cortisol overdrive when you go on the pill, and I think it probably has to do with the progestins binding to these cortisol receptors."

    Heart Rate Variability, Resilience and High Performance with Kristen Holmes

    Heart Rate Variability, Resilience and High Performance with Kristen Holmes

    Angela is joined by Kristen Holmes, to discuss the features and benefits of the WHOOP physiological monitoring device. They delve into the concept of recovery and how WHOOP helps individuals understand their body's response to external stress.

    They also explore metrics such as heart rate variability, strain, and sleep consistency, highlighting their importance in achieving optimal health and performance, looking at the impact of circadian rhythms, light exposure, and sleep-wake times on overall well-being.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • WHOOP is a 24/7 physiological monitoring device that tracks heart rate, heart rate variability, strain, and sleep.
    • Recovery is a key metric that measures how well your body is adapting to external stressors.
    • Sleep regularity, or consistent sleep-wake times, is crucial for optimal health and functioning.
    • Heart rate variability is a measure of your body's ability to adapt to stress and is associated with improved cardiovascular and metabolic function.
    • Strain is a measure of cardiovascular load and can be influenced by factors such as exercise intensity, sleep, and stress levels.

    BEST MOMENTS

    " We want to try to get ourselves into a regular sleep-wake cycle, we want to focus on waking up at a similar time every single day, because what that does is then where our exposure to light is happening at a similar time”

    "When we started this whole kind of campaign around strain, it was really to understand how hard your heart is working."

    "I think it's just getting out of this, like, step mindset and thinking about, 'Alright, how hard is my heart working? And how active am I versus sedentary?'"

    "It’s velocity-based training is kind of what we're understanding how quickly you're moving the weights. And there's an algorithm that helps us understand what that load on your musculoskeletal is."

    90-Second Success Formula Daily Habit Mastery for Achieving Your Goals

    90-Second Success Formula  Daily Habit Mastery for Achieving Your Goals

    Angela discusses the importance of controlling the process in order to achieve goals. While we may not have control over the outcome, we can control our actions and focus on the present moment.

    Angela looks at the need to celebrate wins along the way and avoid comparing ourselves to others, as comparison can be demotivating. She also explores the emotional cycle of change and the stages one goes through when trying to create behaviour change

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • While we may not have control over the outcome, we can control the process by visualising ourselves doing the work and taking steps towards our goals.
    • Instead of focusing on the gap between where we are and where we want to be, it's important to celebrate the progress we make each day. This helps to stay motivated and avoid comparing ourselves to others.
    • The emotional cycle of change consists of stages such as uninformed optimism, informed pessimism, the valley of despair, informed optimism, and success.
    • Pushing through the valley of despair is crucial for achieving goals.
    • Prioritise the actions that will have the most impact on moving closer to your goals.
    • Make small, consistent changes that build self-confidence and self-esteem

    BEST MOMENTS

    "Comparison is really the thief of joy."

    "If you go through that valley of despair and then you kind of step back, you don't continue with what you're doing, you're not going to achieve your goals."

    "When we follow through on things, that helps to build our self-confidence and our self-esteem."

    "If you just focus on getting 1% better every day, within 12 months you will be 37 times better."

    Bitesize: The Power of Visualisation

    Angela delves into the power of visualisation, discussing goal visualisation and process visualisation.

    She emphasises the importance of embodying the person who achieves the goals and taking inspired action, and touches on the significance of belief in oneself and the universe's power to help manifest goals

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Visualisation is a powerful tool for achieving goals, and there are two types: goal visualisation and process visualisation.
    • Goal visualisation involves visualising the outcome and feeling of achieving a goal.
    • Process visualisation focuses on visualising the steps and actions taken to reach the goal.
    • Taking inspired action, developing self-discipline, and releasing attachment to outcomes are important for achieving goals and co-creating with the universe.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "You're effectively co-creating with the universe, but you're releasing attachment. That this is going, everything is unfolding for you."

    "Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become."

    "How does your ideal self show up and conduct activities? What kind of decisions does he or she make? What habits and routines do you have to support yourself in that process?"

    Overcome Limiting Beliefs and Step Into Your Future Self with Paul Sheppard

    Overcome Limiting Beliefs and Step Into Your Future Self with Paul Sheppard

    Angela is joined by Paul from Mindset Change UK, to discuss the key factors that prevent people from living their best lives and creating the changes they desire. Paul explains that conditioning from the past often holds people back, leading to self-sabotage and an upper limit problem.

    They delve into the importance of devaluing negative thoughts and programs, as well as the role of coaching in overcoming anxiety and achieving personal growth. They also explore the concept of self-love and the power of mindfulness in shifting mindset.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Conditioning from the past often prevents people from living their best lives.
    • Conditioning can occur at any age, not just during childhood.
    • Anxiety is often caused by neglecting emotional and physical needs.
    • Seeking help and coaching is important for personal growth and overcoming limitations.
    • Focussing too much on the mind rather than the mind-body-heart connection can also lead to anxiety.
    • Devaluing negative thoughts and programs is important in order to break free from them and create new, positive beliefs.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "We can have what's known as an upper limit problem. So some people get to a certain level when it comes to success and then they do everything they can to sabotage the hell out of it."

    "There is a lot of science talking about what we pick up conditioning-wise from our parents and adult caregivers as we were growing up."

    "The more we begin to devalue it and make it boring... the more quickly we change."

    "If you're not seeking help, you're falling into the trap of staying miserable. You're falling into the trap of struggling, which is another way of you not reaching your goals."

    Bitesize: Make 2024 Your Best Year - How to Remove Hidden Blocks to Achieving Your Goals

    Bitesize: Make 2024 Your Best Year - How to Remove Hidden Blocks to Achieving Your Goals

    Angela kicks off the new year with a bitesize episode exploring the real reason why people may not be achieving their goals, and looking at the power of the subconscious mind, which directs 90% of our actions.

    To achieve our goals, Angela suggests developing habits and rituals that become automatic, highlighting two potential obstacles: values that are not aligned with the goal and hidden commitments in other areas of life

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • The subconscious mind plays a significant role in directing our actions and behaviours, with 90% of our actions being driven by the subconscious.
    • To achieve goals, it is important to establish habits and rituals that become automatic and aligned with our values.
    • Hidden commitments can hinder goal achievement, and it is crucial to identify and address them.
    • Resistance and hidden commitments are different, with resistance being the feeling of not wanting to follow through on a particular action, while hidden commitments arise from conflicting priorities or commitments.
    • Motivation comes through action, so it is important to start taking action towards goals rather than waiting for motivation to appear.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "Now, we know that 90% of what we do is directed by our subconscious mind, not by the conscious mind."

    "Understanding that you will always act in alignment with your highest values is really, really important."

    "Resistance is when we feel like we can't sort of or we don't want to follow through on a particular area."

    "Motivation comes through action. So do not wait for motivation to get started."
