Neuroscientist Dr Caroline Leaf talks with Angela about the mind, what it is and how you can reduce toxic stress and tune into the signals to make positive change In this fascinating look at the non-conscious, subconscious and conscious aspects of the mind Dr Caroline explains how the mind is the driving force that keeps the brain and body going and discusses the ways it processes and brings understanding to our experiences As Dr Caroline discusses we can’t see mind but the product of  mind are how we communicate and express our uniqueness   KEY TAKEAWAYS The mind is the ability that we have as humans to use our brain and body to express our uniqueness The mind is the driving force that keeps the brain and body going The mind is our aliveness, our ability to think, feel and choose on a psychological level It is what helps the heart, beat and the body make new cells The biggest driving force part of the mind is the non-conscious It’s the part that is active all the time helping us to process and understand our experiences   The most obvious part of the mind is the conscious mind and it draws on the non-conscious for understanding The subconscious part of the mind is the bridge between the infinite non-conscious and the finite conscious parts of the mind Thoughts are made of memories and our mind makes these thoughts made of memories out of experiences and builds them into the brain as structural changes We build every experience into the brain, body and mind and this is driven by the non-conscious As humans, we need to tune into the signals so that we can move things into the conscious mind and change We need to allow ourselves to feel depression and anxiety, accept it and then weaken the pathway to You can train yourself with the neurocycle process to get your conscious mind to connect with and listen to the subconscious to find the thoughts in the non-conscious and deconstruct and reconstruct them Thoughts can be changed when they are pulled into the conscious mind When we build in the wrong expectation the result is a loss of selfhood     BEST MOMENTS ‘Everything about  your aliveness is coming from this driving force of the mind ‘You can’t see mind but you see the product of mind in our ability to communicate Post-natal depression is a very normal response to a challenging situation What we say and what we do is an outpouring of our thoughts  RESOURCES FOR THIS EPISODE Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess: 5 Simple, Scientifically Proven Steps to Reduce Anxiety, Stress, and Toxic Thinking - https://amzn.to/3Vqnqzr    Neurocycle app: https://neurocycle.app  CF program: https://neurocycleinstitute.com  Book: https://drleaf.com/collections/all/products/pre-order-cleaning-up-your-mental-mess     Visit my website at https://drleaf.com  for more free resources -Instagram: @drcarolineleaf:  https://www.instagram.com/drcarolineleaf/-  -Facebook: Dr. Caroline Leaf: https://www.facebook.com/drleaf  -Twitter: @drcarolineleaf: https://twitter.com/DrCarolineLeaf  -Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/drcarolineleaf      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.

In this extract from Angela’s interview with Dr Joseph Antoun hear about the most important aspect of fasting, stressing the body and how to optimise your fasting period Getting into autophagy, as Dr Joseph explains, takes longer than most people think and exercise is an effective tool for getting into autophagy and benefitting from the duality of intermittent fasting, cutting fat and increasing muscle enhancement    KEY TAKEAWAYS When you fast for a long enough period of time there is restructuring and cellular renewal as you  move into autophagy The most crucial aspect of how fasting works is how you are stressing the body Fasting increases the growth hormone and the muscle tone is high Getting into autophagy is determined by the intensity of the crisis, the speed of the crisis and how much reserves the body has to compensate Autophagy is happening every day at every moment  across the body’s cells  BEST MOMENTS ‘It doesn’t happen as quickly as many people think ‘Eat protein after fasting  and train the muscle in cycles of rejuvenation and muscle enhancement’ RESOURCES FOR THIS EPISODE High Performance Health Episode 181   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 Stacy Sims joins Angela to discuss the science behind training effectively as a woman and explains how in the years leading up to menopause it's vital to instigate different techniques in training and nutritional strategies to offset what your hormones are no longer doing This in-depth interview is a great opportunity to hear about what supports the maintenance of lean mass and the adaptations that should be made during perimenopause to support effective autophagy   KEY TAKEAWAYS We need external stress to create a signal of adaptation the way our hormones did To aesthetically change body shape you need to train a minimum of four times a week You need to spend time learning techniques and the mechanics before you build load, lifting heavy is about the neuro-muscular connection For women, when there is no carbohydrate available as fuel when exercising you burn lean mass To maintain lean mass we have to do things when fuelled Sprint interval training is about being short, sharp and very efficient You should avoid high-intensity work in the luteal phase because it’s a strong stressor The primary objective of intermittent fasting is weight loss Aerobic exercise promotes the growth of brain tissue Exercising is a huge stimulus for creating autophagy in the brain and cardiovascular system Our bodies revert to using lean mass first over fat and carbohydrates The limited research available on post-menopausal women indicates fasting isn’t beneficial A small amount of pre-fuel makes all the difference   BEST MOMENTS ‘Exercise has more robust data to support longevity’ ‘If you are trying to do high-intensity training or heavy-weight training and you don’t have fuel on board it causes a quagmire of increased cortisol’ ‘Women have a gene adaptation in the liver that upregulates - storing everything and burning lean mass’ ‘It’s really important that women remember to eat’   ABOUT THE GUEST STACY T.

Dr Joseph Antoun, physician and CEO of L-Nutra has a passion to bring fasting to the world and help humanity to live in a more healthy way and longer He talks with Angela about his research and how the fast mimicking diet means you can move to autophagy and protect your lean muscle Understand more about how to optimise fasting and longevity in this informative episode   KEY TAKEAWAYS There are 2 categories of fasting – intermittent and periodic Autophagy begins for most people at around 48 hours and the most important aspect of fasting is stressing the body Stress elevates cortisol and with a focus on protein you can restructure muscle The duality of fasting means you are accessing your fat reserve and protecting lean muscle mass Fasting allows you to go beyond day 2 and Prolon’s five-day regime  effectively supports this A cellular fast means the cells are getting nutrients but not spiking insulin The body switches to keto and autophagy on days 2 and 3 and then on days 4 and 5 the feeling is euphoric and  cells are being rejuvenated The mimicking fasting diet puts the body in a good metabolic state to optimise nutrition around your treatment Intermittent fasting can help to keep cancer cells in check in the early stages Cancer cells can’t survive fasting mode because they need calories, they don’t know how to stop replicating by design   BEST MOMENTS ‘It’s not sci-fi it’s the speed of the crisis, the intensity of the crisis and how much reserves you have to compensate for it’ ‘If you want to benefit from autophagy you have to give it time’ ‘Prolon is short enough that people can do it but long enough to get people into autophagy’ You should be aiming to under nourish cancer cells not feeding them to grow   RESOURCES FOR THIS EPISODE https://www.linkedin.com/in/drjosephantoun https://mobile.twitter.com/drjosephantoun https://prolon.co.uk/ https://l-nutra.com/   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 GUEST Dr. Joseph Antoun always knew he wanted to help others through medicine, which is why he trained to be a physician.

Dame Amanda O’Reilly, Lifestyle Entrepreneur, the ‘Worthiness Whisperer ‘and founder of Worthy Wands, talks with Angela about self-worth and how understanding who we truly are is the key to inner self-worth Amanda discusses how she was addicted to the ‘doing’ in life to validate who she was and how the key to freedom was working on her inner sense of worth and understanding that we decide on how worthy we are not others When you upgrade your own inner sense of worth and confidence everything changes because if you believe you are worthy and enough what you can accomplish is limitless   KEY TAKEAWAYS Self-worth is how we feel about ourselves not how others feel about us, we decide how worthy we are, it’s something we own We are wired for connection and become chameleons to be able to fit in Our souls are always listening and the brain works on repetition so if the dialogue is negative that will be what we manifest Being alone with yourself and journaling can help with naming it to tame it It’s very hard to outperform your identity and anything that follows ‘I am’ becomes your identity You can think one thought and it can lead to a hundred others but just because you think it doesn’t make it true unless you believe it When you experience pain, sadness and frustration it’s because you are out of alignment with your inner self It’s questioning your thoughts and asking where would you be without that thought? It's deciding what you want and who you need to become to have those things You have to plant the thoughts you want to make reality Things don’t happen to you, they happen for you If you believed you were worthy and enough what could you accomplish?   BEST MOMENTS ’ You should measure your success by how you feel’ ‘When we care more about how we feel about ourselves everyone around us benefits’ ‘The key to freedom is that we are not our thoughts, we are just the thinker of our thoughts’ ‘I have an unbreakable, unshakable relationship with self now that I didn’t have before and it started with making friends with the woman in the mirror’   RESOURCES FOR THIS EPISODE https://www.worthywands.com/ enter ‘Angela 20’ at checkout for a 20% discount Amanda O'Reilly Instagram Get a free health check and personalised report www.yourtotalhealthcheck.com   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.angelafosteracademy.com/female-Biohacker-collective 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 Amanda O’Reilly Lifestyle Entrepreneur, Dame ( yup! she was Knighted), and the Creator of Worthy Wands, Amanda is the definition of confidence and empowerment.
