Bitesize: How to Eat to Avoid Micronutrient Deficiencies with Dr Chris Masterjohn
Angela presents a bitesize biohack alongside Chris Masterjohn with a focus on the foundations of living a healthy and vibrant life through nutrition. The discussion revolves around the importance of obtaining nutrients from whole foods rather than relying on fortified foods and delves into the pitfalls of relying on fortified foods and the potential deficiencies that can arise from not diversifying one's diet. KEY TAKEAWAYS Focus on getting nutrients from whole foods to ensure a healthy diet. Avoid relying on fortified foods and instead construct a well-rounded diet. Diversify protein sources, including meat, fish, dairy, eggs, and legumes. Balance carbohydrates with whole grains, starchy tubers, legumes, and fruits. Individual factors such as menstrual blood loss can affect micronutrient needs. BEST MOMENTS "I think rule one is how could you get all your vitamins and minerals and proteins, fats and carbohydrates and calories and everything that you need from whole foods." "It's interesting if you look at history how that generally only works for a period of time." "If you are trying to eat a very restrictive diet, you really need to think a lot about this." "I seem to really struggle with enough potassium. That's just something It's been right from the days when I was practicing as a lawyer."

Bitesize: The Truth About Supplements for Women with Dr Stacy Sims
Angela presents a bitesize biohack alongside Stacy Sims, in which they highlight the benefits of blackcurrant juice concentrate for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, particularly in alleviating PMS symptoms. They also touch upon the importance of vitamin D supplementation, especially in regions with limited sunlight during winter, emphasising its role in mood, immunity, and overall health KEY TAKEAWAYS Blackcurrant juice concentrate is beneficial for women with PMS or inflammation issues due to its anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties. Supplementing with blackcurrant juice concentrate can help enhance total recovery and alleviate symptoms of bloating, cramping, and mood changes associated with PMS or PPMD. Vitamin D is crucial for mood, immunity, iron status, muscle function, gut health, and brain health, especially in regions with limited sunlight exposure. It is recommended to consume around 20ml of blackcurrant juice concentrate or tart cherry juice concentrate for their anti-inflammatory benefits. Regular monitoring of vitamin D levels through blood tests is essential, and supplementing with at least 2000 international units every other day may be necessary, particularly during darker winter months to combat deficiencies and improve overall health. BEST MOMENTS "Blackcurrant juice concentrate is really more of a real food way. It's considered a supplement, but when you're looking at all the supplements that are out there, a juice concentrate is closer to the real food spectrum than a powder." "There's a little bit more evidence for the anti-inflammatory responses from the blackcurrant than there is from the tart cherry." "Vitamin D is super, super important. I can't stress how important it is, especially when we live in places that are far away from the equator and we have lots of time of rain and dark winters."

Angela is joined by special guest, Dr. Andrew Steele to discuss the topic of aging and longevity. Dr. Steele shares insights on the biology of aging, potential advancements in anti-aging treatments, and the importance of funding aging biology research. They also delve into various aspects of aging, including the ten hallmarks of aging, the role of mitochondria, and the impact of telomere length. Dr. Steele touches on the differences in aging between men and women, highlighting the unique evolutionary aspects of menopause and mitochondrial inheritance KEY TAKEAWAYS Dr. Steele discusses the importance of evidence-based research when it comes to supplements and aging. Should aging be seen as a disease of some kind, with considerations for regulatory advantages and perspective shifts? The 10 hallmarks of aging include DNA damage, telomere shortening, protein dysfunction, mitochondrial issues, and immune system changes. Mitochondria, known as the powerhouse of the cell, play a crucial role in energy production and aging processes. Evolutionary theories, such as the grandmother hypothesis, shed light on menopause and longevity differences between genders. BEST MOMENTS "The best piece of health advice is to campaign for more funding for aging biology research." "We've got ideas for how to slow down the aging process, how maybe even to reverse it." "The risk of death doubles about every eight years. This is a phenomenally universal fact of being human." "Mitochondria are the only part of your cell that have their own DNA."

Bitesize Biohack: Peptides, Ozempic (semaglutide), Hormones & Blood Glucose Control with Dr Jacey Folkers
Angela presents a biohack alongside Dr Jacey Folkers, in which they discuss the importance of strategically dosing carbohydrates before a workout for optimal performance. They delve into the impact of insulin resistance on blood glucose control, and hormone balance, particularly in women, and how certain peptides and supplements can help improve insulin sensitivity and hormonal health. The conversation also touches on the benefits of peptides like semaglutide and terzipatide for weight loss and appetite suppression, as well as the use of supplements like berberine, alpha lipoic acid, and chromium to optimize blood sugar levels KEY TAKEAWAYS Strategic carbohydrate consumption before a workout can be beneficial for active individuals. Peptides and supplements can help improve insulin resistance and lead to positive effects on hormones. Berberine, alpha lipoic acid, chromium, and B vitamins are recommended for optimising blood sugar levels. Dosing of peptides like semaglutide should be individualised to avoid side effects like nausea and loss of appetite. Tailoring treatment to the patient's response is crucial in achieving desired outcomes and minimising side effects. BEST MOMENTS "Insulin itself is considered a peptide and kind of a hormone. It's one of my favorite peptides. I have a daughter that's a type 1 diabetic, and she wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for insulin." "Berberine has a lot of positive things it can do. Obviously, one of them is to help improve blood sugar levels, insulin resistance. It also has been shown to improve the lipids, the cholesterol." "I've definitely noticed that with PCOS, the common thing is, you know, for me, because I've got that more kind of pro-androgenic, if I have too much sugar, it leads to breakouts. That's the first thing that I'm going to see."

Blood Sugar Mastery with Danielle Hamilton
Angela is joined by Danielle Hamilton to talk about the importance of blood sugar regulation and its impact on overall health. They discuss the far-reaching effects of blood sugar dysregulation on various bodily functions and organs, and delve into the role of circadian rhythms, stress, cortisol, leptin, and mineral deficiencies in influencing blood sugar levels. They also explore the nuances of managing blood sugar based on individual needs, such as considering exercise levels, meal timing, and mineral intake. KEY TAKEAWAYS Blood sugar affects how we feel and impacts long-term health, affecting every cell and organ in the body. 93% of Americans show signs of metabolic dysfunction, even before reaching pre-diabetes or diabetes. Circadian rhythm and stress play a significant role in blood sugar regulation, emphasising the importance of light exposure and meal timing. Leptin and insulin levels are crucial for metabolic health, with leptin signalling energy storage and insulin facilitating glucose utilisation. Sodium, magnesium, and potassium deficiencies can impact blood sugar regulation and overall health, highlighting the importance of mineral balance in the body. BEST MOMENTS "So our blood sugar affects how we feel at every second of every day, and it has huge impacts on our long term health." "I see chronic stress as being one of the number one causes of chronically high blood sugar." "I think that it's no coincidence that these high starch foods, which raise insulin, are autumn foods, because we were meant to raise our blood sugar and insulin to put on fat for the winter." "I've noticed was that my potassium became very low and that seemed to be impacting my blood glucose."

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."

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." "The reality is, and no matter how good your diet is, you're going to need supplements to fill the holes or your genetic weaknesses."
