This week Angela is talking all about blood sugar and why it’s so important to manage blood sugar spikes because when you continuously spike your blood glucose you are affecting your mitochondria over time and to optimise, your mitochondria need to be as healthy as possible Angela explains what happens when you continually spike your blood sugar and shares 3 key hacks that you can use daily at home to flatten your glucose spike and optimise your health   KEY TAKEAWAYS Your fasting  glucose should be between 4milimoles per litre and 5.4milimoles per litre Going to 7 millimoles and above you are in the diabetes range More free radicals mean more oxidised stress Oxidative stress is a driver of heart disease, cognitive decline, and ageing If you are spiking your blood glucose you are also spiking your fructose Glycation is where sugar molecules attach to other cells and damage them Fructose can overwhelm the liver When you change the composition of the calories you are consuming you can lose weight on the same number of calories Fibre is your friend and has 3 key superpowers, eating more fibre slows down the release of glucose into the blood. Fibre creates a viscous mesh that limits the absorption of glucose The order of eating matters, start with the veggies Start your meal with vinegar to reduce blood glucose the acetic acid the way you start your day plays a vital role in your blood glucose, as you will be more sensitive to glucose   BEST MOMENTS ‘Your mitochondria are the powerhouses of your cells so you want to keep them as healthy as possible ‘Wrinkles are something you can get from too much glycation’ ‘The narrower the range of the spike the better your health will be with less cravings and fat storage   RESOURCES FOR THIS EPISODE angelafoster.me/biohacker The Glucose Revolution Jessie Inchauspe   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 HOST Angela Foster Angela is a Nutritionist, Health, and Performance Coach.

Angela talks with Michael Juergens, senior partner at Deloitte and Master of wine about how to optimise your life for everything you want to do They discuss how you can train for recovery and the value of cold exposure as a part of your routine along with Michael's passion for wine and how he has founded the wine industry of the Kingdom of Bhutan. This is a fascinating insight into a truly unique individual with a passion for life, living and great wine, listen in and hear more   KEY TAKEAWAYS Recovery is very personal and dependent on a range of factors like body type, muscle fibre and how long you have been doing something You need to have a range of tools in your toolbox and know what to use when A cold plunge can be more effective than a cold shower Using a range of metrics can be helpful in ensuring you are on the right path The mindset you have and how you reinforce a positive mindset plays an important part in recovery There is a positive neurological impact from starting the day by letting your eyes take in the natural sunlight Different meditation techniques resonant in different ways, it’s about finding the right one for you Picking the grapes at the optimum point of ripeness is key in the creation of good wine   The data doesn’t support sulphates in wine being harmful and the body itself naturally produces sulphates Wine is about sharing, community, and the experience. Resveratrol in wine interacts with the food and can be positive in increasing absorption of quercetin which has health benefits The resveratrol in the blue zone in Sardinia is intrinsically linked to the longevity of those who are drinking wine daily   BEST MOMENTS ‘You do have enough time, you just need to manage your life differently’ ‘I trained myself to run on 5 hours of sleep and it was a game changer’ ‘We are all individual it’s about finding what works for you’ ‘I started the wine industry in the Himalayan country of Bhutan and we are about to produce the first bottle of wine ever in the country’   RESOURCES FOR THIS EPISODE https://www.drinkingandknowingthings.com/ Insta -@bhutanwine.com http://www.bhutanwine.com/   http://www.redlightrising.co.uk Code ANGELA for discount.

Margaret Floyd Barry is a certified Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and Master Restorative Wellness Practitioner who specialises in Thyroid function and autoimmunity She talks with Angela about the role of digestive dysfunction in chronic illness and how the thyroid and your gut are affected by stress, toxins, diet, lifestyle, and lack of sleep. With this combination of stressors exhausting the immune system, it can be in a constant inflammatory loop but as Margaret explains the key is to identify and systematically remove the stressors from the immune system whilst also supporting it to calm down and pull it away from the pro-inflammatory loops, she shares great content on how this can be approached along with invaluable information about the links between the thyroid and fertility   KEY TAKEAWAYS There are thyroid receptors on every single cell in the body The vast majority of the immune system lives in or around the gut and digestive tract, so this is a good starting point Much of the conventional diet causes damage to the digestive system and triggers the immune system resulting in a consistent burden and drain on it Focusing on digestive healing and removing inflammatory foods, can be enough to put some individuals into full remission from autoimmune conditions such as Hashimoto's and Graves Some of the proteins in gluten containing grains can look very similar to thyroid tissue so removing gluten from the diet is essential Our immune system gets really good at doing what we ask it to do most frequently and we ask it to inflame all of the time Helping your immune system to calm, resolve and anti-inflame is critical Changes and imbalances in any hormone affect the signalling to glands The thyroid and adrenals are closely linked and if you have dysregulation in one the body often makes adjustments through the other The adrenals play a vital role in the transition from peri menopause through to menopause how robust and healthy the adrenals are will often dictate how smooth the transition will be when you have an underactive thyroid it affects the hypothalamus hormone GRH which in turn can lead to hormone dysregulation and an anovulatory cycle The research indicates there is some form of autoimmune mechanism that is contributing to complications with fertility   BEST MOMENTS ‘It has an incredible role in our metabolism and energy levels’ ‘There isn’t a body system that the thyroid isn’t impacting in some way’ ‘We are supporting the immune system to come back into balance and this means supporting the digestive system’   RESOURCES FOR THIS EPISODE Instagram: @angelasfoster https://summit.healthoptimisation.com/  - enter code Angela Foster for a 20% discount on a ticket https://angelafosterperformance.com/angela-recommends/ enter code Angela 10 for a 10% discount on Eat Pluck organ based seasoning https://eatpluck.com/ https://www.eatnakedkitchen.com/thefirstfive/ https://www.eatnakednow.com/ www.restorativewellnesssolutions.com Instagram: @margaretfloydbarry     VALUABLE RESOURCES High Performance Health Podcast Series - https://angelafosterperformance.com/podcasts/ Join Angela’s Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/femalebiohacker Free Fasting Guide - https://angelafosterperformance.com/fasting/  Biohack Your Way to Your Best Self - Join My Exclusive Female Biohacker Collective -  www.angelafosteracademy.com/female-Biohacker-collective 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 Guide to Sleep Like a Boss - www.angelafosterperformance.com/sleep Get my bestselling book Rethink Health - https://amzn.to/3vbzYOV   ABOUT THE GUEST Margaret Floyd Barry is a functional nutritionist, writer and real food advocate who’s been on the pursuit of the most nutritious and delicious way of eating for the better part of her adult life.
