Bitesize Biohack: The Key Peptides You Need to Know About for Energy and Anti-aging with Dr Neil Paulvin

Angela presents a bitesize alongside Neil Paulvin, in which they discuss the benefits of mitochondrial peptides, specifically MOTC, SS31, and Eumannan. These peptides work on reading frames within the mitochondria, initially thought to be beneficial for aging and mitochondrial health, but now linked to other advantages. However, availability of these peptides varies by country, with the US having more accessibility compared to the UK. KEY TAKEAWAYS MOTC, SS31, and Eumannin are mitochondrial peptides that have been linked to various health benefits, including anti-aging, improved mitochondrial health, increased energy, and anti-inflammatory effects. MOTC works on AMPK, an energy chemical hormone in the body, and can simulate exercise, making it beneficial for workouts. It also improves insulin sensitivity and induces mitochondrial biogenesis. SS31 is a potent antioxidant and has shown potential in improving heart function and helping patients with heart failure. It may also be used for tendinopathy and tendinitis. Eumannin is less studied compared to MOTC and SS31 but has shown potential benefits for osteoporosis, muscle building, infertility, and PCOS. BEST MOMENTS "MOTC does a lot of things… It's kind of like getting a workout without doing it." "SS31… has many more studies… It's really been shown to help improve heart function." "Peptides are very hard to find… I've had patients who come here on trips will get a vial when they went because it's legal here versus where they're coming from."

Bitesize: The Invisible Barrier: Why You're Not Seeing Result with Fitness / Nutrition

Angela discusses the invisible barrier that may be preventing individuals from seeing results in their fitness and nutrition efforts, explaining how stress, particularly high cortisol levels, can hinder weight loss and body composition goals. Angela also focusses on the importance of managing stress and finding balance in order to optimise health and performance, touching on topics such as heart rate variability, nutrition strategies, and the impact of stress on various aspects of well-being KEY TAKEAWAYS Managing stress is crucial for achieving fitness and nutrition goals. High levels of stress can lead to elevated cortisol levels, which can hinder weight loss and body composition goals. Adherence is key. Going on overly restrictive diets can be counterproductive and lead to cravings and rebound weight gain. It's important to create a calorie deficit through a combination of increased movement, exercise, and moderate calorie reduction. Nutrient density is important for overall health and weight management. Focusing on consuming a variety of nutrient-dense foods, such as vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, and healthy fats, can support optimal health and help reduce cravings. Prioritising goals and values and allocating energy accordingly can help prevent burnout and maintain overall well-being. It's important to allocate energy to different areas of life, including business/personal success, relationships, fitness, and recovery. BEST MOMENTS "When you're stressed, it can have so many factors on the way your physiology is operating. So one of the key things is stress is tightly linked and the hormone cortisol with your blood sugar regulation." "What we need to do is to try to address the stress. Modern life is inherently stressful, but what we can do is start to bring in practices that are going to help us moderate that stress." "That's why I'm not a big fan of going too restrictive, definitely not for too long. It down-regulates things that you don't want it to down-regulate, that you then feel like you're not enjoying life as much, because it's not much fun" ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster is an award winning Nutritionist, Health & Performance Coach, Speaker and Host of the High Performance Health podcast.

Fix Your Thyroid and Adrenal Health with Award Winning Dietician Nutritionist, Christa Biegler

Angela talks to Christa Biegler, an expert in helping women with burnout and adrenal function. They discuss the importance of thyroid health and its connection to adrenal and sex hormone function, with Christa sharing her own journey of experiencing skin outbreaks and gut issues, which led her to discover the impact of stress on her thyroid and adrenal function. The show also delves into the symptoms of thyroid dysfunction, such as fatigue, hair loss, and cold intolerance, focussing on the significance of mineral balance, particularly potassium and sodium, in supporting optimal thyroid function KEY TAKEAWAYS Thyroid health is crucial for overall well-being and metabolism. Symptoms of thyroid issues include fatigue, hair loss, feeling cold, and sluggish motility. Adrenal function plays a significant role in thyroid health. When cortisol levels are elevated due to stress, it can lead to potassium depletion, which affects digestion, thyroid function, and energy levels. Fasting and under-nourishing the body can worsen adrenal and thyroid function. It is important to prioritise nourishing foods and avoid extreme fasting practices, especially if already depleted. Adding mineral-rich foods to the diet, such as potatoes with skin, avocados, and bananas, can help replenish potassium levels and support overall mineral balance. Lifestyle behaviours that promote balance and support adrenal, sex hormone, and thyroid function include avoiding excessive stress, getting adequate sleep, managing inflammation, and incorporating holistic practices like mindfulness and self-care. BEST MOMENTS "So many of our issues are just hung up in control of wanting to control every outcome, everything” "If you're fluctuating more than five pounds or two, two and a half kilos of body weight over a couple of days, that's inflammatory water weight that can be related to a bigger picture of inflammation." "I think there's a mineral issue. And also from an energetic perspective, sometimes it's indicative that you're holding onto things that you need to let go of the most."

Bitesize Biohack: Nutrition for Happy Hormones

Angela presents a special episode in which she discusses the changes that occur in women's bodies during perimenopause and menopause, focussing on the way women store fat shifts, with a transition from storing fat around the hips and thighs to storing more around the abdominal area. Angela stresses the importance of proper nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress management in combating these changes, as well as the potential benefits of hormone therapy, such as estrogen and progesterone, for bone density and cognitive function. TAKEAWAYS The distribution of body fat changes in women as they go through perimenopause and menopause. Initially, women tend to store fat around the hips and upper thighs, but as they approach menopause, fat distribution shifts to the abdominal area, which can be more risky due to the presence of visceral fat. To combat changes in body fat distribution during perimenopause, it is important to focus on the right nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress management. Hormone therapy, such as estrogen and progesterone, can be helpful for bone density and brain fog, but it is not a magic solution. Overall lifestyle factors play a significant role in reducing body fat effectively. Progesterone production can be affected during perimenopause due to anovulatory cycles, where ovulation does not occur. This can result in lower progesterone levels and potential symptoms of estrogen dominance. Natural ways to support progesterone production include incorporating maca into the diet (unless there are thyroid issues) and managing stress to maintain good adrenal function BEST MOMENTS "The distribution of that body fat is changing… So how do you combat that? It's going to be through the right nutrition and the right exercise and managing sleep and stress." "Taking hormones, like hormone therapy in terms of estrogen and progesterone, is super helpful for bone density and brain fog, but it's not like a magic elixir." "Your microbiome, contained within our gut, is a mixture of healthy and less healthy gut bacteria… There is a specific group of bacteria that can cause or release something called beta glucuronidase." "If you're in perimenopause and you're not ovulating every single month, you're producing less progesterone. This can make you more prone to things like anxiety and symptoms of estrogen dominance."

Farm to Table: What's in Your Food with Natalie Kovarik and Tara Vander Dussen

Angela is joined by Tara Vander Dussen and Natalie Kovarik, for a very special episode in which they discuss various aspects of farming and food production, focusing on dairy farming, beef, and poultry. They address common concerns and misconceptions surrounding dairy products, such as the inflammatory effects of dairy and the presence of hormones, and the differences between grass-fed and grain-fed beef, the labelling confusion in the poultry industry, and the impact of different farming practices on the environment, emphasising the importance of food choice and transparency, encouraging listeners to make informed decisions based on their own preferences and values. KEY TAKEAWAYS There is ongoing research suggesting that milk does not cause inflammation, but the effects may vary depending on factors such as added sugars. Hormones naturally occur in dairy products, but the concern is more about added hormones. In the United States, RBST is no longer used in milk production. Homogenisation is a process that breaks up the cream in milk to create a consistent texture. Non-homogenised milk may require shaking before consumption or may have cream that rises to the top. Grass-fed, grass-finished beef may have higher omega-3 content compared to grain-finished beef. However, the omega-3 content in milk is generally low, regardless of the type of cow or diet. Food labelling can be confusing, and it is often more helpful to directly source food from local farmers to ask questions and gain transparency about the farming practices. BEST MOMENTS "There is a lot of new research that is really positive in milk, not causing inflammation, depending on, you know, are you adding, you know, sugar to it as a chocolate milk, all these different things that you can or cannot do." "I think if you have the means and access to supporting local and buying direct from the farmer, I think that's kind of the point, right? Cause then you can ask all those questions." "I think sometimes we get so in the weeds about the conversations of, you know, like you said, Omega threes versus Omega sixes. And, um, and we kind of lose sight of the big picture, which is, you know, meat is one of the most, um, milk to, you know, whole, whole animal proteins are one of the best things we can put in our body." "So there's a lot, I think when it comes to the environment part, that isn't necessarily true about, um, practices. And then also I think we're really, really losing sight of, um, what are, what actually happened to our bodies."

Bitesize Biohack: How To Be More Resilient, Calm & Focussed

Angela presents a biohack edition featuring Eliza Kingsford from episode 261, exploring the profound impact of our nervous system on our thoughts, emotions, and actions, emphasising the importance of being in a regulated state to access a flow state and enhance creativity. Eliza explains that carrying a disregulated nervous system into a task or activity can hinder productivity and lead to distractions like food, scrolling, or checking email. By recognising and understanding our own nervous system states, such as safety and connection, fight or flight, and shutdown, we can better navigate our reactions and behaviours. TAKEAWAYS Our nervous system plays a crucial role in our thoughts, feelings, actions, and creativity. Being in a flow state requires a regulated nervous system. If we carry a disregulated nervous system into a flow state, it will hinder our productivity and creativity. Disregulation can lead to engaging in shallow tasks or seeking distractions. Recognising and being aware of our nervous system is essential. It drives our behaviour and how we interact with others. Different cues can activate different states in our nervous system. Mapping out the flavours of our nervous system can help us understand our own unique states. This involves describing what makes us feel safe and connected, as well as what activates our fight or flight response or leads to shutdown. BEST MOMENTS "Being in a flow state requires a state of nervous system regulation." "If you carry a disregulated nervous system into that state, it's not going to be productive." "No one is immune to this. We all have a nervous system and all of them are picking up on cues all day long." "It's just getting to know what's the state of your system, right? And bringing in as much description as possible to be able to describe that."

Glucose Tolerance, Fasting & Radiant Health: Unlocking the "Peacock Effect" with Chris Masterjohn

Angela welcomes Chris Masterjohn, an expert in nutrition and health, to discuss the importance of getting nutrients from whole foods and the limitations of relying on fortified processed foods. Chris particularly focusses upon the need for a well-rounded diet that includes proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals from a variety of sources, and addresses the misconception around hydration, explaining that people should drink water when they're thirsty and not worry about arbitrary guidelines. Chris and Angela also delve into the topic of blood sugar spikes and the individual variability in response to certain foods, the importance of context, such as glycogen depletion and exercise intensity, in understanding glucose tolerance. KEY TAKEAWAYS Focus on getting nutrients from whole foods: The first rule of nutrition is to try to get all your vitamins, minerals, proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and calories from whole foods. Avoid relying on fortified processed foods. Consider individual needs and variations: Everyone's nutritional needs are different, and factors such as genetics, lifestyle, and health conditions can affect nutrient requirements. It's important to listen to your body and adjust your diet accordingly. Don't be afraid of blood sugar spikes: Blood sugar spikes after consuming certain foods are not necessarily a cause for concern, especially if you are healthy and have no glucose intolerance. Avoiding foods that cause spikes can actually lead to glucose intolerance over time. Consider glycogen depletion and exercise: The glycogen stores in your body can affect your glucose tolerance. Intense exercise that depletes glycogen, such as zone two running, can improve glucose tolerance. Rest days and different types of workouts can also impact glycogen levels. BEST MOMENTS "There's no better way to make yourself glucose intolerant than to not eat things that spike your blood sugar." "You shouldn't need to think about it. Your hypothalamus does that unless it's damaged." "If you're not getting a negative symptomatic response to it, you don't want to regularly spike your blood sugar to 200, but you can afford to do it again and see what the trend is." "There's no better way to make yourself glucose tolerant than to eat things that spike your blood sugar."

He served as a postdoctoral research associate in the Comparative Biosciences department of the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Illinois. He was also an Assistant Professor of Health and Nutrition Sciences at Brooklyn College. In the fall of 2016, he made the decision to leave academia and pursue entrepreneurship a transition he completed on January 1, 2017. He is currently conducting independent research, consulting, working on information products, collaborating on information and technology products, and producing tons of free content to help people gain better health. He has deep and personal experiences with the power of food, movement, and mindfulness to support health and well being. Chris wants to take what he’s learned and pay it forward. He is constantly learning from his own challenges, failures, and successes, and by scouring the scientific literature, whether uncovering long-forgotten and neglected evidence from yesteryear or following and deciphering the latest findings. chrismasterjohnphd.com ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster is an award winning Nutritionist, Health & Performance Coach, Speaker and Host of the High Performance Health podcast.
