Angela is joined for this bitesize episode by Simon Ong to look at the complexities of balancing work, family, and personal well-being. They candidly discuss the common feelings of guilt that many individuals, especially women, experience when juggling various responsibilities. Through personal anecdotes and case studies, they explore the societal pressures that contribute to these feelings of guilt and the importance of setting boundaries. KEY TAKEAWAYS Finding peace with the setup of work and family responsibilities can lead to being more present and productive in both areas. Setting boundaries and utilising time effectively can enhance the quality of time spent with family. Setting boundaries in work hours can lead to improved performance and decision-making. By creating limits, individuals can focus on tasks efficiently and rely more on intuition, leading to better outcomes. Conducting regular energy audits in physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions can help in maintaining a balanced and energised state. Engaging in activities like exercise, reading, journaling, and reflecting on values can contribute to overall well-being. BEST MOMENTS "When she comes home, we as parents have had some rest, we've been able to move forward in the things that are meaningful for us." "I think one of the major contributors is the fact that I had this boundary because once I had the boundary in place I did not have time to overthink." "I see it in four dimensions. So physical energy, mental energy, emotional energy, and spiritual energy."

Angela presents a segment from a live appearance in which she discusses the Mirror Principle, a transformative concept that can significantly impact one's ability to achieve goals. The episode begins by defining the Mirror Principle as a reflection of self-identity and paradigm, emphasising the importance of creating a clear and intentional identity when pursuing a goal. Through personal anecdotes and examples, the host illustrates how the Mirror Principle operates in various aspects of life, from physical health to financial success KEY TAKEAWAYS The Mirror Principle emphasises the importance of creating a clear and intentional identity when pursuing goals. The reflection in the mirror represents past decisions, behaviours, and identity, not the immediate reality. Reprogramming the subconscious mind through intentional identity creation is crucial for achieving long-term goals. Celebrating wins, practicing gratitude, and prioritizing key actions are essential steps in reinforcing the desired identity. Understanding paradigms and worldviews is vital in aligning actions with the desired identity and overcoming self-sabotage. BEST MOMENTS "You're creating this very strong image of who this person is." "You cannot hate yourself into a great body." "Gratitude is the massive amplifier." "Who am I being is the question I want you to ask most often during your day."

Angela is joined by special guest, Brian Johnson, to delve into the concept of Arete, an ancient Greek word meaning virtue or excellence. 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 KEY TAKEAWAYS Prioritise energy, work, and love by focusing on eating, moving, sleeping, breathing, and focusing the mind consistently. Embrace challenges as opportunities to grow stronger by maintaining faith, having a plan, and being prepared for setbacks. Start and end each day intentionally to set the tone for productivity and well-being. Recognise the importance of humility in acknowledging the need to consistently sharpen your skills and prioritize self-care. Plan and structure your day to align with your vision of a successful and fulfilling day, focusing on the small things that matter most. BEST MOMENTS "The science, as I understand it, is unequivocal. You need to have a sense of what you want, but then you need to rub it up against reality." "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?"

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."

Angela is joined by Dr Milli Raizada who discusses the topic of hormone imbalance, specifically focusing on oestrogen dominance and its impact on women's health. 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."

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."

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."

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."

Angela talks to special guest, John R. Miles, author of the book "Passion Struck." John shares his personal journey of resilience and overcoming challenges, including a traumatic brain injury. He discusses the importance of inner grit and perseverance in pursuing one's passions, and emphasises the need to break free from a routine that lacks fulfilment and offers practical advice on how to align intentions with actions. He also explores the concept of self-mastery and the power of reinvention, delving into the mindset and behaviours of high performers, the importance of reading and continuous learning, and the role of intentionality in achieving success KEY TAKEAWAYS The book "Passion Struck" explores the mindset and behaviours necessary for creating a fulfilling and passionate life. The key to breaking free from a life that feels unfulfilling is to align your intentions with your actions and make intentional changes in one area of your life at a time. Developing self-mastery and overcoming self-doubt are crucial components of living a passion-driven life. Time is malleable, and by optimising your time and being intentional with your actions, you can accomplish more in less time. Reinvention and continuous learning are essential for personal growth and success in a rapidly changing world. BEST MOMENTS "It's really coming down to this feeling of, do you want to keep perpetuating a life where you're making other people's dreams come true, but you're not making your own dreams come true?" "To break free from that, it's not something that's just done overnight. I think the first thing that you've got to do is create awareness that you have these behaviours in the first place." "The upper limit problem is something that a lot of us face, we tend to think that we can only grow so far." "The more intentional actions that you start taking in these micro choices that make up your day, the easier that path is going to become."
