High Performance Health

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

Angela talks to behavioural coach Emma Dunwoody about the fascinating world of human design, exploring its synthesis of ancient wisdoms such as Western astrology, the Kabbalah tree of life, the Chinese I Ching, and the Hindu chakra system. Emma explains how human design serves as an energetic blueprint that reveals our unique superpowers, challenges, and life lessons, highlighting the importance of understanding one's design to enhance manifestation and personal growth, as well as the impact of conditioning on our true selves. KEY TAKEAWAYS Human design is a synthesis of four ancient wisdoms—Western astrology, the Kabbalah tree of life, the Chinese I Ching, and the Hindu chakra system—providing an energetic blueprint that reveals how individuals are designed to operate in the world. There are five main types in human design: Manifestors (initiators), Generators (inspired doers), Manifesting Generators (multi-passionate hybrids), Projectors (guides), and Reflectors (mirrors of truth). Each type has a unique way of interacting with the world and making decisions. Conditioning can lead individuals to pursue goals and desires that are not truly aligned with their authentic selves. Human design helps individuals recognize their true desires and superpowers, allowing them to break free from societal expectations and conditioning. In human design, understanding one's strategy and authority is crucial. For example, Generators are encouraged to respond to external stimuli and trust their gut feelings, which helps them identify what truly lights them up and brings them energy. BEST MOMENTS "Human design is a synthesis of four ancient wisdoms which are Western astrology, the Kabbalah tree of life, the Chinese I Ching, and the Hindu chakra system." "The more I was becoming aligned to my design, the more I had authentic desires, authentic things I wanted to manifest." "What human design often shows us is that the thing we want to fix or change is actually something that is our superpower." "The most amazing thing could turn up in your life, but if you have no passion, no energy, no lit up for it, then it's just not correct for you."

Everyone wants to burn more fat and stay healthier, but what's the best way to go about it? In this short, sharp biohack episode, Angela flies solo to tell you about three ways to dynamically reduce your body fat and set yourself up for a leaner life in general. KEY TAKEAWAYS We can often confuse our minds and bodies with a variety of diets, and get caught up in copying the success of others. We need to remember that certain diets don't work for everyone. A great way to add protein into your first meal of the day is to add greek yoghurt with a small handful of almonds and raspberries or blueberries. Look for ways to bring more movement into your day, even if it's just getting up more regularly. At places such as work, set small alarms and make sure you're doing something to raise your heart rate. BEST MOMENTS 'All of us have that little bit we'd like to lose' 'Nice fibre, healthy fats and some proteins' 'If you employ these principles, you are going to burn more fat' VALUABLE RESOURCES Get a free snapshot of your health and personalised report at www.yourtotalhealthcheck.com Join The High Performance Health CommunityFree Fasting Guide - www.angelafosterperformance.com/fasting ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster is an award winning Nutritionist, Health & Performance Coach, Speaker and Host of the High Performance Health podcast.

Angela is joined by Siim Land, the author of "The Longevity Leap," to discuss the intricacies of aging and the various factors that influence longevity. Together, they look into the biological mechanisms behind aging, including mitochondrial dysfunction and chronic inflammation, while also exploring the concept of peak physical performance across different life stages. Siim also discusses the importance of exercise, particularly cardiovascular training and strength training, in enhancing VO2 max and overall health. KEY TAKEAWAYS Aging is a complex process influenced by various factors, including cellular dysfunction, mitochondrial health, and chronic inflammation. Key characteristics of aging include telomere shortening, cell senescence, and loss of autophagy. Different aspects of physical performance peak at various ages. While metabolic health is generally best in the teenage years, muscle strength peaks in the early 30s for men and early 40s for women. After the 30s, many individuals may start to experience a decline in health, often exacerbated by a sedentary lifestyle. VO2 max, a measure of maximum oxygen consumption during exercise, is crucial for longevity and overall health. It can be improved through both low-intensity and high-intensity cardiovascular exercises, with longer intervals (2-4 minutes) being particularly effective for enhancing VO2 max. Strength training is essential for maintaining muscle mass and strength as one ages. Focusing on compound lifts (like squats and deadlifts) and progressive overload is key to promoting muscle growth and functional fitness, which are linked to reduced mortality risk. BEST MOMENTS "The average person doesn't usually lift weights after their 20s... A lot of it is also just because of being sedentary and not actually lifting anything."  "If you want to improve your overall cardiorespiratory fitness, then you need to address all of the heart rate zones as well to increase your fitness."  "Chronic inflammation is pretty central to aging and all the whole chronic diseases as well."  "I think there's no evidence that multi-day fasting has benefits or that it would be providing any unique benefits that you wouldn't get from just a regular healthy diet." - VALUABLE RESOURCES Get a free snapshot of your health and personalised report at www.yourtotalhealthcheck.com Join The High Performance Health CommunityFree Fasting Guide - www.angelafosterperformance.com/fasting The Longevity Leap Book Siim Land - https://www.siimland.co/ Get 10% off Magnesium Breakthrough with code ANGELA10 at www.bioptimizers.com/angela Use ANGELA15 to save 15% on Primeadine Spermidine at angelafoster.me/primeadine ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster is an award winning Nutritionist, Health & Performance Coach, Speaker and Host of the High Performance Health podcast.

In this engaging discussion, Peter Sage, a well-known entrepreneur and mindset coach, shares his insights on self-worth and emotional mastery. He emphasizes the transformative power of auto-suggestion and the necessity of aligning heart and mind for affirmations to take root. Peter highlights how our environments and peer groups shape our beliefs and behaviors, urging listeners to choose supportive influences. He also dives into the brain's filters and how they affect what we focus on, revealing strategies for cultivating a positive self-image and attracting abundance.

Dr. Andrew Hill, a brain mapping expert dedicated to optimizing mental performance, joins Angela to delve into the fascinating intersection of neuroscience and well-being. They discuss how brain mapping measures brainwave activities and its implications for attention and stress management. The duo emphasizes the critical role of quality sleep and proper meal timing in enhancing cognitive function. They also debunk myths surrounding blue light exposure, explore the efficacy of sleep trackers, and share valuable insights into nutrition's effect on brain health.

Angela is joined by Dani Gordon to discuss the importance of brain flexibility and resilience. They explore various techniques to optimise brain function, including simple mind-body practices like breath work and meditation. Dani emphasises the significance of matching practices to an individual's current state and journey phase, as well as the benefits of SMR training for achieving calm focus and stress resilience. KEY TAKEAWAYS Flexibility in changing brain states is crucial for resilience and optimal performance. Simple mind-body practices, such as breathwork, can help reduce stress and improve brain function. SMR neurofeedback can promote calm focus and resilience to stress. Tailoring practices like cold therapy and sauna to individual needs and tolerance levels is essential for effectiveness. Ketamine therapy, combined with psychotherapy, can be an effective treatment for chronic pain and depression. BEST MOMENTS "So it's actually the ability to flexibly change states is so important."  "SMR is actually similar to the flow state. So there's high-tech ways of hacking it, there's low-tech ways of hacking it." "It's finding what is the best way for you to tap into your flow state, really." "Ketamine psychotherapy is a treatment we can do now in the UK for treatment-resistant chronic pain and for treatment-resistant depression."

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

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

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

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