High Performance Health

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 first edition, Angela and her guests discourse on subjects such as what intermittent fasting is, how long the fast needs to be, how supplements can help to regulate energy, and how to enhance mitochondrial health. KEY TAKEAWAYS To get ahead and use true preventive medicine, hormones should be checked once a year up to the age of about 40, and then twice a year from then on. NAD plays hugely critical roles within our physical make up. It's a big part of our energy production, and without NAD, our mitochondrial pathway would not work. Fasting can be classified into two groups - intermittent fasting is any fast below two days, and prolonged fasting which is any fast that goes above two days. In the small amount of research that is out there on postmenopausal women and exercise fasting is not recommended. BEST MOMENTS 'If you need to start or tweak something, then doing it as early as possible is going to be better in terms of efficacy' 'I refer to it as the most important molecule that you've never heard of' 'You have three defence lines when you are not eating' 'It's a stress on the body that increases cortisol' VALUABLE RESOURCES High-Performance Health Podcast Series -https://angelafosterperformance.com/podcasts/ Biohack Your Way to Your Best Self - Join My Exclusive Female Biohacker Collective – angelafoster.me/fbc 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    Kyle Gillett Episode - https://omny.fm/shows/high-performance-health/optimise-your-hormones-menopause-transition-with-d Nichola Conlon Episode - https://omny.fm/shows/high-performance-health/impact-and-optimise-your-longevity-and-biological Dr Antoun Episode - https://omny.fm/shows/high-performance-health/optimising-fasting-longevity-with-dr-joseph-antoun Stacy Sims Episode - https://omny.fm/shows/high-performance-health/science-backed-training-sleeping-and-fasting-proto ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster Angela is a Nutritionist, Health, and Performance Coach.

If you're considering an indulgent festive period, but still wish to manage your blood glucose levels effectively, then Angela is here with a biohack, courtesy of Wade Lightheart, in which he talks about how to optimise glucose control and insulin sensitivity. KEY TAKEAWAYS There is a growing body of evidence that suggests that blood sugar dis-regulation is extremely rampant in society. There is much collateral damage leading to cholesterol. We have evolved to eat natural whole foods, but the rapid industrialisation in food have led to quick-digesting foods that have a high sugar content that upsets blood sugar. You should aim to limit the amount of insulin being released and keep within a narrow range, so that you become a fat metaboliser. People can have genetic predispositions due to their inherent body type. This causes different foods to react in different ways depending on who eats it. This means a one-size-fits-all approach can't comprehensively work for everyone. BEST MOMENTS 'We all want to have fun while remaining fit and healthy' 'Blood sugar dis-regulation is contributing to the top three diseases' 'The consequences for people are huge' 'There's no set amount of responses to individuals' VALUABLE RESOURCES High-Performance Health Podcast Series -https://angelafosterperformance.com/podcasts/ Biohack Your Way to Your Best Self - Join My Exclusive Female Biohacker Collective – angelafosteracademy.com/female-biohacker-collective-enrol 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  Full Wade Lightheart episode - https://omny.fm/shows/high-performance-health/120-hph ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster Angela is a Nutritionist, Health, and Performance Coach.

In this special episode, Angela shares some empowering tips designed to help you navigate the Christmas period effectively - how to have fun but still remain on track, health-wise. People always want to maximise their fun but refrain from undoing the good work they've done throughout the year, and in this episode, Angela tells you exactly how to do it. KEY TAKEAWAYS You will feel a lot better if you stick to a twelve-hour overnight fast, regardless of how much you eat during the day. High intensity exercise and resistance training have been shown to help activate a transport protein called Glute 4, which helps to move glucose into muscle tissue without producing insulin. If you do overindulge in alcohol then do take care if engaging in exercise. It severely limits your ability to burn calories and fat, because your liver prioritises the alcohol first. Have some electrolytes and watch the caffeine levels. Vitamin C is incredibly important, especially if you've been drinking alcohol, which causes a rapid consumption of Vit C in the body. You can take up to about 3 grams per day split into three doses. BEST MOMENTS 'You have full permission to enjoy Christmas. It's an opportunity that comes once a year, where we can slow the pace down' 'High intensity exercise for the win!' 'Chlorophyll can help to reduce the damage done to DNA' 'Eat lots of cruciferous vegetables. They're so important for female hormone health' VALUABLE RESOURCES High-Performance Health Podcast Series -https://angelafosterperformance.com/podcasts/ Biohack Your Way to Your Best Self - Join My Exclusive Female Biohacker Collective – angelafosteracademy.com/female-biohacker-collective-enrol 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.

Angela shares some invaluable knowledge from her first interview with Dr Stacy Sims, in which the discussion centred around why women should not be engaging in intermittent fasting for any length of time, and why layering in factors such as keto and exercise is not a good idea. KEY TAKEAWAYS When you eliminate things from your diet, then your body naturally asks why. Intermittent fasting, plus keto and exercise is incredibly stressful for the body. Exercise is already placing your body in a fasting state. The food aspect and exercise that you do must work together. Throwing varied forms of exercise, fasting and diets shouldn't just be throw into your routine haphazardly. BEST MOMENTS 'If you're layering exercise and intermittent fasting, then it's above and beyond the stress that a woman's body should handle' 'Most outcomes are based on male populations or sedentary obese women' 'Exercise itself is a fasted state' 'We need to think about how this affects our daily life' RESOURCES FOR THIS EPISODE Episode 94 - Sex Differences in Training, Nutrition and Environmental Conditions, Working Positively with Female Physiology with Dr Stacy Sims - https://omny.fm/shows/high-performance-health/094-hph VALUABLE RESOURCES High-Performance Health Podcast Series -https://angelafosterperformance.com/podcasts/ Biohack Your Way to Your Best Self - Join My Exclusive Female Biohacker Collective – angelafosteracademy.com/female-biohacker-collective-enrol 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.

Dr Michael Mosley is a science presenter, journalist and executive producer. He is also the the author of the international bestselling books The Clever Guts Diet, The Fast Diet, Fast Exercise and The 8-Week Blood Sugar Diet. Dr Mosley joins Angela to discuss his new book, 'Just One Thing', which is dedicated to different biohacks you can use to upgrade your health, your performance and your longevity, as well as wearables and how effective and accurate they can be. KEY TAKEAWAYS People's metabolisms are struggling today far more than ever before, largely due to the increase in junk food and processed foods we are seeing on the marketplace. Squats can be used as a helpful way to boost your brain and BDNF levels, because of the increase in blood flow caused by this. The three things you really need to crack in order to remain at optimal health are healthy weight, mindfulness, and exercise. Exercise is truly essential as it helps to optimise muscle mass. The two greatest predictors of life expectancy are your insulin sensitivity, and the amount of oxygen you can burn when you're really pushing yourself during exercises that test your maximum limits. BEST MOMENTS 'Unfortunately these kinds of foods are quite alien to us' 'After the age of 30, you will lose up to 10% of muscle mass every decade' 'He's demonstrated cognitive improvement in people who do these particular exercises' 'Make the most of the cold winter!'
