Bitesize: How to Reinvent Yourself with John R Miles

Angela talks to John R Miles about the theme of rising above self-doubt and reinventing oneself in a rapidly changing world. They emphasise the importance of authentic living and breaking away from societal norms to author one's own fulfilling life story, highlighting the staggering statistics on unfulfilled individuals globally and the impending automation of jobs, urging listeners to awaken to the evolving landscape. KEY TAKEAWAYS Embrace the quest for authentic living and rebel against societal norms to define your own standards for a fulfilling life. With automation on the rise, individuals should focus on their uniqueness and consider paths like entrepreneurship or freelancing to navigate the changing job landscape. The current education system may not adequately prepare the next generation for the evolving world, emphasizing the importance of developing anti-fragility and passion-driven mindsets. Novak Djokovic's relentless pursuit of personal mastery and mental toughness serves as a prime example of shaping one's life to mirror inner values and aspirations. BEST MOMENTS "It's about a rebellion against the societal norms that seem to dictate our lives. It's a refusal to settle for a life that's defined by someone else's standards instead of defining them for yourself." "I think more and more people are going to end up having to become maybe a solo entrepreneur, a solopreneur where instead of working for these corporations or what have you, you're going to become a freelancer." "I think for many people, what I notice is the aspect you talk about there in terms of where we might need to reinvent ourselves, but also as a mother of teenage children, I feel like the education system isn't guiding them particularly well."

Dr Sara Gottfried (Part 2): Trauma, Autoimmunity & Inner Healing

In the second part of a very special two-part conversation, Angela talks once more to the remarkable Dr Sara Gottfried, an expert in hormones and autoimmunity, about the alarming rise in autoimmune conditions, particularly among women and adolescents. Dr. Sara delves into the connection between trauma, stress, and the development of autoimmune diseases, shedding light on the impact of unresolved stress responses on the body's immune, neurological, and endocrine systems. The conversation also explores the role of self-love, psychedelics like MDMA and psilocybin, and ketamine in treating mental health issues and trauma-related conditions KEY TAKEAWAYS The prevalence of autoimmunity is high, with one in three individuals having an autoimmune condition Rates of autoimmunity are escalating, especially in men and adolescents, with a significant number showing antibodies against their own cells. While women are traditionally more vulnerable to autoimmune diseases, recent observations suggest an increase in anti-nuclear antibodies in men, indicating a shift in susceptibility. Trauma, especially in women who experience more trauma than men, is a significant trigger for autoimmunity, with unresolved stress responses contributing to dysregulation. Psychedelic-assisted therapy, including substances like MDMA and psilocybin, shows promise in addressing trauma, depression, and autoimmune conditions, offering a new approach to mental health treatment. BEST MOMENTS "We think that there's differences in terms of gender, those are sex-based differences, but there's also gender-based differences." "It's a more generally feminine approach to a stress response. Now, if you take those who are born male who do more fight flight, they are using big muscle groups to fight, or to run, and there's a way that that mobilizes the stress response and helps them recover fast." "It's really fundamental. Yeah, you know, if you do an adverse childhood experiences score, if you do the ACE questionnaire, there's a lot of things that aren't asked in that questionnaire” "And MDMA opens you up to more kind of like love experiences, experiences of love, right? And joy."

Through her practise, Dr Gottfried treats people with a host of conditions, and educates about hormone balance, metabolic health and the interaction between food and your metabolism. From the Harvard and MIT-educated physician, and New York Times bestselling author of The Hormone Cure, The Hormone Reset Diet and Younger, comes a brand new book on the impact of trauma on your body and immune system – and what you can do to heal. Up to 80 per cent of patients with autoimmune disease experienced significant emotional distress before getting sick. In other words, trauma and autoimmune disease are intimately linked, and Dr Gottfried shows us how. A leading voice in the autoimmune and women’s health space, Dr Gottfried’s insights into the gut, women’s health and hormones, and trauma as it pertains to autoimmune illness is essential reading Conventional medicine falls short when it comes to both diagnosing and treating autoimmune disease. Many people suffer from mysterious symptoms like severe fatigue, brain fog, aches and pains, feelings of tingling and numbness, stubborn weight gain, abdominal pain, digestive problems, hair loss, insomnia, and even anxiety, and don't realize their immune system is at the root of their symptoms. In her precision medicine practice, Dr Gottfried noticed a seemingly unusual pattern: many of her patients who suffer from autoimmune disease and symptoms have a history of trauma. Dr Gottfried has created a powerful programme designed to break the vicious cycle of autoimmune disease, reset your immune system and restore your health, with advice on diet, sleep, supplements, breathwork, microbiome restoration, somatic therapy and much more.

Bitesize: Hormone Doctor Milli Raizada On How To Harmonize Your Hormones in Perimenopause & Beyond

Angela talks to Milli Raizada, an experienced NHS GP who has personally navigated hormonal challenges, about the key aspects that women in their 40s and early 50s should focus on to optimise their health. Dr. Raizada discusses the fluctuations in hormones during the perimenopause phase, emphasising the impact on various bodily functions such as brain health, muscle health, and bone health. She also highlights the importance of understanding hormone levels, particularly oestrogen, and its influence on neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin KEY TAKEAWAYS Understanding the hormonal changes during perimenopause is crucial for women in their 40s and early 50s. Declining oestrogen levels can lead to various symptoms like weight gain, brain fog, and mood changes due to its influence on neurotransmitters. Nutrition plays a vital role in managing hormonal health, with a focus on unprocessed whole foods, probiotics, and prebiotics for gut health. Tailoring exercise routines to include strength training and moderate-intensity activities can help maintain muscle mass and overall health during perimenopause. Empowering individuals with knowledge about their bodies and personalized lifestyle plans can help manage hormonal issues effectively without relying solely on medication. BEST MOMENTS "Eating foods that are naturally lower in carbohydrates... eating unprocessed natural carbohydrates, fruits and vegetables and everything in moderation is so important." "I think it's looking at when we know that in our 30s muscle and bone health decline with age you know you get sarcopenia you get loss of bone density." "I had a problem with chronic pain and the consultant offered me some morphine and I just thought, you're putting the plaster on the issue here. I really do want to know what's causing the problem."

Bitesize: Break Free of Limiting Beliefs & Rewire Your Mind for Success with Paul Sheppard

Angela is joined for this bitesize edition by Paul Sheppard, to discuss how conditioning from past experiences can limit individuals from achieving success and how some may self-sabotage when they reach a certain level of achievement. Paul and Angela touch on the idea that conditioning often occurs in early childhood but can also manifest later in life, impacting relationships and overall well-being KEY TAKEAWAYS Many people are held back by conditioning from their past that limits their beliefs about what they can achieve or deserve. Some individuals reach a certain level of success and then unconsciously sabotage themselves, possibly due to deep-rooted conditioning. Conditioning can occur during childhood, particularly before the age of seven, but can also develop later in life through experiences like relationships with narcissists. Coaching is favoured for addressing anxiety as it focuses on proactive steps to move forward rather than solely delving into past issues BEST MOMENTS "You know, it's usually conditioning from their past that says you can't achieve something. You're not allowed to have something." "I think it's important to have a coach or a therapist to explore not only where these things have come from, which is nice." "When I had anxiety, there was no help or no advice that would have helped me with my anxiety."

Bitesize: Signs of Burnout & How to Prevent It With Dr Molly Maloof

Angela is joined by Dr Molly Maloof to discuss burnout and its impact on energy metabolism. This bitesize edition looks into the ways in which we can recognise the signs of burnout, the importance of understanding cortisol levels through testing, and the role of blood sugar regulation in managing burnout. Angela and Dr Molly stress the need for individuals, especially women, to prioritise rest and lifestyle changes when experiencing burnout, rather than relying solely on diet modifications KEY TAKEAWAYS Look out for fluctuating blood sugar levels, low energy, and issues with hormone regulation as potential signs of burnout. Before addressing stress, get hormones tested, assess blood sugar regulation, and evaluate overall physiological function to understand what's happening inside the body. Rest is fundamental to healing from burnout. Slowing down, getting adequate sleep, and prioritizing rest are crucial steps in the recovery process. Eliminate processed and fast foods from the diet to reduce brain fog, inflammation, metabolic inflexibility, and gut dysfunction, which can exacerbate burnout symptoms. BEST MOMENTS "You know, it's funny, when I was writing this book, I had a little bit of a freak out because my editors were like, women who are burned out are going to buy this book." "What they're doing is they're forcing their body to pump out more cortisol the best it can but eventually it's going to just flatline." "It's really high when you're in an insulin resistant state. But when you're fully burned out and you're like I can't get out of bed in the morning because I'm so exhausted."

"I think it's all about trying to get your body to work in a better, younger way for you. So rather than try and impose something else on your skin or your body and force it into doing something, I think to give it the tools to do it for itself is a more successful option."

Bitesize Biohack: Why Self Care is The Secret To Boosting Metabolism & Weight Loss with Dr Libby Weaver

Angela is joined by Dr Libby Weaver to discuss the complex relationship between women's bodies and achieving the ideal body composition. Drawing from personal experiences and observations with patients, they challenge the traditional belief that calorie restriction and intense exercise are the only factors influencing body shape and size. The discussion highlights the impact of stress hormones, particularly adrenaline, on the body's ability to burn fat and store fat KEY TAKEAWAYS The traditional belief that the calorie equation is the sole factor influencing body shape and size is challenged by real-life experiences where calorie restriction does not always lead to weight loss. The idea that intense exercise is necessary to maintain weight or body shape can be deeply ingrained, leading individuals to over-exercise unnecessarily. Elevated adrenaline levels due to psychological stress, rather than physical danger, can disrupt the body's natural processes, affecting digestion, fuel utilisation, and food cravings. Modern lifestyles with constant stressors can lead to chronically elevated adrenaline levels, impacting the body's ability to use fat as fuel and increasing cravings for sugary foods. BEST MOMENTS "You meet people who are very good at restricting calories and they still don't lose any body fat, they don't lose weight. In fact, sometimes it goes in the opposite direction." "I ran like that because it was so ingrained in me in my education that you had to exercise intensely to maintain the way that you are, to basically be able to eat." "So many women still think like that. And it breaks my heart because they live in this world of, I feel like I've got to eat like a tiny little bird and I've got to exercise like a maniac." "And it's our perceptions of pressure and urgency and it's the way we unconsciously worry about maintaining the approval of others. So in other words, it's caffeine and primarily psychological stress rather than a threat to our life."

Angela is joined by Vince Sant, the world’s fastest growing fitness coach and viral sensation, to talk about optimising metabolic health and achieving ideal physical shape, especially with the upcoming spring and summer seasons. Vince shares insights on overcoming obstacles in body re-composition, understanding different body types, setting realistic fitness goals, and the importance of tailored approaches to diet and exercise, as well as delving into the significance of cardio training, including various forms like steady-state, low-intensity, and HIIT workouts. KEY TAKEAWAYS Tailoring fitness routines and diet plans to individual goals, body types, and lifestyles is crucial for long-term success. Understanding body types (ectomorph, endomorph, mesomorph) can help in choosing the right training and diet strategies for optimal results. Different forms of cardio (steady-state, low-intensity, HIIT) offer varied benefits, and selecting the one that aligns with personal preferences and schedules is key. Consider incorporating essential amino acids, caffeine, and electrolytes like salt for improved workout performance and recovery. Consistent adherence to a workout routine that is enjoyable and fits into one's lifestyle is more important than following a rigid plan that may not be sustainable. BEST MOMENTS "I think enjoyment trumps all” “I lift heavy weights. I like going midday. I like getting two or three meals a week." "BCAAs are a phenomenal option. BCAAs are essential, they have your essential amino acids in them." "I was in pretty terrible shape, to be honest.
