Dr Dani Gordon | Medical Cannabis, CBD and Resilience (stimulating forms of breath work)

Dr Dani Gordon is a world-leading expert in CBD and medical cannabis, and joins Angela for a thought-provoking discussion about their benefits, when is the right time to use more stimulating forms of breath work, how to optimise your own wellbeing practices, as well as her authored works on the subject of CBD and resilience. KEY TAKEAWAYS Resilience is the metric which shows us how well we bounce back from challenge. For people who are well in the first place, resilience can still be used to "bounce forward" - a building block for even more resilience. Hemp CBD does not work as a sleep aid. In fact it can have the opposite effect, making people far more alert and awake. Like anything else, if a substance is abused then it can hurt resilience instead of helping to build it. The key is to be aware and not let it overtake you. There is evidence that legalising cannabis does not lead to an increase in misuse by the younger generation. This is something of a myth. BEST MOMENTS 'It's about health and wellbeing resilience' 'We want to make people who are well already, bounce forward' 'It can wake up some of the parts of the brain involved with keeping us awake and alert' 'You actually need more stress to build resilience' VALUABLE RESOURCES High-Performance Health Podcast Series -https://angelafosterperformance.com/podcasts/ Biohack Your Way to Your Best Self - Join My Exclusive Female Biohacker Collective – www.femalebiohacker.com Get a free health check and personalised report www.yourtotalhealthcheck.com Watch my Free Masterclass on how to master your metabolism -www.angelafosteracademy.com/master-your-metabolism Download my free Guide to Harmonising Your Hormones -www.angelafosterperformance.com/hormones Download my  free Fasting Guide - www.angelafosterperformance.com/fasting/ Download my free Guide to Sleep Like a Boss -www.angelafosterperformance.com/sleep Join my free Facebook Community -www.facebook.com/groups/femalebiohacker Get my bestselling book Rethink Health - https://amzn.to/3vbzYOV   ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster Angela is a Nutritionist, Health, and Performance Coach.

Bitesize Biohacks: Glucose, Insulin Resistance, Metabolic Flexibility and Your Microbiome with Dr Will Bulsiewicz

Angela revisits her interview with Dr Will Bulsiewicz, and his vital messaging regarding glucose levels, and why keeping a keen eye on flattening the curve is important, as well as making sure that we have good insulin sensitivity. KEY TAKEAWAYS The mechanisms of gaining free fat are through obesity, and also through our dietary intake. The microbiome is related the way that we process our food, and is a part of establishing what our blood sugar is after a meal, and also what our blood fat is. Even though we are genetically similar to family members, and live in the same environment, we sometimes share only around 35% of the same microbes.

Dr Tara Swart | The Science of Manifestation - How to Use Neuroplasticity and Universal Laws to Create the Life You Want

Often we are searching for a way to connect the mind to the body in order to realise our full potential, and no one knows more about how to achieve this, than this week’s guest, Dr Tara Swart, the Chief Science Officer at Heights, pioneers of the Heights Smart Supplement, designed to boost brainpower and allow you take control of your health. Dr Swart discusses the female brain and the unique challenges faced each day, as well as how we can optimise for a healthy brain, manage longevity and manifest your best life. KEY TAKEAWAYS Men’s brains are also affected by the arrival of babies. Their oxytocin levels increase due to bonding, and testosterone levels decrease simultaneously, and even more so if the baby sleeps in the bedroom alongside the parents. Your brain can grow and change at any age, any stage and any mindset. This scientific truth is neuroplasticity, and is the foundational element behind manifestation. Women are proven to get more dementia than men, and while it is hard to prove why, schools of thought believe that it may be due to the diminishing sleep levels that occur during child-rearing. Negative impacts from the perimenopause period in life can occur, but they aren’t necessarily a prerequisite. We should not assume that the effects are mandatory and must never tell ourselves that we can expect negative degradation when it arrives. It’s not always the case. BEST MOMENTS ‘The science that underlies manifestation is neuroplasticity’ ‘Women do get dementia more than men’ ‘Breaking everything down into bite-sized chunks is a very important part of building in micro-habits that make your brain work better’ ‘Positive expectancy is definitely the thing. It also helps to build resilience’ VALUABLE RESOURCES High-Performance Health Podcast Series -https://angelafosterperformance.com/podcasts/ Biohack Your Way to Your Best Self - Join My Exclusive Female Biohacker Collective – www.femalebiohacker.com Get a free health check and personalised report www.yourtotalhealthcheck.com Watch my Free Masterclass on how to master your metabolism -www.angelafosteracademy.com/master-your-metabolism Download my free Guide to Harmonising Your Hormones -www.angelafosterperformance.com/hormones Download my  free Fasting Guide - www.angelafosterperformance.com/fasting/ Download my free Guide to Sleep Like a Boss -www.angelafosterperformance.com/sleep Join my free Facebook Community -www.facebook.com/groups/femalebiohacker Get my bestselling book Rethink Health - https://amzn.to/3vbzYOV     ABOUT THE GUEST Dr Tara Swart is an Oxford University-trained medical doctor and neuroscientist, bringing over 25 years of brain expertise to Heights and has been appointed as Chief Science Officer.

Bitesize Biohacks: Yoga, Mindfulness and The Female Brain with Dr Tara Swart

In a very special preview of a soon-to-come conversation with Dr Tara Swart, she explains about the effects of sleep, the incredible potential of the female brain, and why we should think of yoga as a mindfulness practice. Hear the full episode this Friday, 20th January 2023! KEY TAKEAWAYS Periods can be associated with lots of emotional dis-regulation which has to be learned to overcome during a crucial time in life. One night's bad sleep can lead to IQ being lowered by 10% each day. Several nights' sleep missed can lead to the mental equivalent of being drunk. Women get more dementia than men, and this has been tentatively attributed to less sleep during the child-rearing phase. It's more likely connected to the fact that women live longer. BEST MOMENTS 'There are lots more ups and downs than there are for men' 'It hit me how much there is going on for the female brain' 'You really need to be in bed for seven to nine hours' VALUABLE RESOURCES High-Performance Health Podcast Series -https://angelafosterperformance.com/podcasts/ Biohack Your Way to Your Best Self - Join My Exclusive Female Biohacker Collective – www.femalebiohacker.com Get a free health check and personalised report www.yourtotalhealthcheck.com Watch my Free Masterclass on how to master your metabolism -www.angelafosteracademy.com/master-your-metabolism Download my free Guide to Harmonising Your Hormones -www.angelafosterperformance.com/hormones Download my  free Fasting Guide - www.angelafosterperformance.com/fasting/ Download my free Guide to Sleep Like a Boss -www.angelafosterperformance.com/sleep Join my free Facebook Community -www.facebook.com/groups/femalebiohacker Get my bestselling book Rethink Health - https://amzn.to/3vbzYOV   ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster Angela is a Nutritionist, Health, and Performance Coach.

Jim Steele | Unashamedly Superhuman: Harness Your Inner Power and Achieve Your Greatest Professional and Personal Goals, With Award-Winning Author & Speaker

With clients including Google, London business school, Deloitte and Astra Zeneca, Jim’s corporate speeches are designed to deliver quantifiable performance results and are centred around practical strategies that employees can use to reach their peak potential. Jim joins Angela to talk about his latest work, 'Unashamedly Superhuman', a book designed to designed to help you "Harness Your Inner Power and Achieve Your Greatest Professional and Personal Goals". KEY TAKEAWAYS The label of "Superhuman" is often reserved for a privileged few, and can feel a little unrelatable at times. But we all have that potential inside us. No one ever instinctually believes that they are working to their full potential. We inherently know that we can always do better. Specialists in endurance train their people to reward themselves through self-administering dopamine, a technique known as "thin slice recognition". It's about rewarding yourself each step of the way and not using the distant end goal as the prize. When you enter a mindfulness practice, you build and develop centres of the brain that cause you to recruit the focus circuits. When you go into your day, you will find that this helps you to feel less distracted.

In a special mini-series of episodes, Angela takes a look back at some of the highlights from the past twelve months, showcasing some of the most insightful wisdom and practical advice shared by her amazing gallery of guests. In this second retrospective edition, Angela and her guests come together to talk about the way in which we can show up as our best selves for the new year ahead, and how to make sure we're empowered enough to achieve the goals we set for ourselves. KEY TAKEAWAYS In order to set yourself up to win you have to first be okay with where you're at, and then gain clarity over where you wish to be. When you're trying to achieve something new in life, you need to create a new form of yourself and overcome your former programming. When you focus your attention, you are telling the infinite universe and its source of energy how to move. Overcoming the barriers of our minds begins when we truly begin to understand what is possible. The people who wish they could, but use self-limiting beliefs as an excuse, simply need to decide how much they want it, then prioritise their time.

Bitesize Biohack: Optimising Brain Wave States for Flow, Productivity and Sleep

Now is a great time to focus and reflect, and part of this is optimising our bodies for high performance. Sleep, in this respect, plays a huge part in making sure that we're at our best, and in this week's bitesize biohack, Angela looks at the insights provided by Dr Patrick Porter, and how we can achieve a more consistent state of flow, enabling us to rapidly accelerate our productivity levels. KEY TAKEAWAYS When we are in a flow state we are up to five times more productive. Theoretically, by reaching the flow state we could 5x our output. All brainwaves are important in the right context, so we need to contextualise them all as a symphony that work together instead of single elements. All dopamine reactions are designed with movement in mind. If we are in a state of relaxation, or seated, then dopamine reactions cause our brains to fry. The gamma brain wave is a higher level of creativity and problem solving. Gamma is very important in helping people to overcome dementia and Alzheimers.
