Harness Your Hormones and Unlock Your Inner Goddess with Alisa Vitti

Alisa Vitta, pioneer of female biohacking, women’s hormone and functional nutrition expert and author of the best sellers ‘Woman Code and ‘In the Flo’ talks to Angela about how to harness your hormones and feel great every day. The links between nutrition and hormones are well established and when women understand their infradian system they can make changes throughout their cycle to make sure they can work at their optimum throughout their cycle. This is a great opportunity to understand more about your infradian rhythm and how you can learn to lean into what you are naturally inclined to do at a particular time in your cycle bringing peak performance and feeling great every day into your life.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Hormonal ratios have to be in optimal balance and when they are you have no symptoms no cramps, no PMS and no heavy bleeding just a healthy vibrant cycle and the benefits that come with that. The infradian rhythm influences six different systems in the body – your brain, metabolism, the immune system, your microbiome, your stress response system and reproductive system The reason the infradian rhythm has been left out of the conversation is because women have been actively left out of medical fitness and nutrition research You are disrupting your infradian rhythm constantly because you didn’t know it existed and you weren’t told  how to take care of it The cycle thinking methodology builds on foundational pillars and finally, you can start to feel like you are supposed to Your metabolism changes during your cycle, in the first half it’s slightly lower so you can and should eat slightly lower calories In the second half of your cycle your metabolism speeds up and you will need to eat more calories each day, if you don’t then you start to store more fuel as fat. You need to alter your calorific intake according to where you are in your cycle Your resting cortisol levels are lower in the first part of the cycle making it a good time to do higher intensity training. As you move into the second part of the cycle resting cortisol levels are higher and you should do strength training Postpartum you should be eating to replenish yourself and rebuild the micronutrients in your body Perimenopause starts at 35 and is the unwinding of the infradian clock Every ovulation is an opportunity for your body to protect your brain, heart and bones both today and beyond the reproductive years Your routines need to change 4 times a month to keep in a peak performance state and you need to be aware of where you are so you can work at your optimum throughout your cycle.   BEST MOMENTS ‘Women from their first period to their last are governed by their infradian rhythm’ ‘Your infradian rhythm touches every aspect of your life and if you lean into what you are naturally inclined to do at that particular time’ ‘80% of women will have a hormonal problem at some point in their lives’   VALUABLE RESOURCES High Performance Health podcast series\ Transform your sleep DNA optimization High Performance website  Floliving In the FLO - Alisa Vitti Woman Code by Alisa Vitti   ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster   Angela is a Nutritionist, Health and Performance Coach.

Transform Your Body and Mindset for the Long Term with Brian Keane

Brian Keane is  a multiple best-selling  author and is one of the most well-known faces of the Irish health and fitness industry In this in-depth episode, he talks with Angela about how you can get both fit and lean and stay healthy and explains why it involves really understanding nutrition and the role training can play. With an incredibly strong mindset, Brian has achieved many global fitness challenges and shares great content on how to build confidence by consistently keeping your promises to yourself, listen in and hear more   KEY TAKEAWAYS Challenges and events made me stronger mentally every time and growth comes from challenging yourself You keep the end in mind and then break the journey down into smaller goals Most things are the most difficult at the beginning. You need to focus on what you can do today that will help you tomorrow Recovery is easy to neglect because it’s easier to keep pushing   I’m very productive in the time I allocate for business and everything is systemised, the entire business can run effectively without me Get clear on the things you should be saying yes to and better at saying no Looking good, staying healthy and weight loss don’t necessarily go hand in hand Fat loss is as simple as understanding that if you are in a calorific deficit, consuming fewer calories than you need, you are going to tap into stored fat and burn it as fuel. When you resistance train you boost your metabolic rate and burn more calories Resistance training is one of the most under-utilised ways to lose body fat Calories are really important to understand but there are a number of other factors that impact on weight loss If you are working to a calorie deficit and not losing weight look to see what maybe the  underlying issue You build confidence by consistently keeping promises to yourself but often the mistake made is to make the promise too big It’s the small consistent things we do over time that build confidence Learn to look at failure as feedback and make the changes needed to succeed There is a time for tough love and a time to be compassionate with yourself   BEST MOMENTS ‘There is a magic to be about early in the morning’ ‘Get better at saying no to things and your life will become considerably easier from that point on’ ‘I was lean and muscular but I definitely wasn’t healthy’   VALUABLE RESOURCES High Performance Health podcast series\ Transform your sleep DNA optimization High Performance website  Brian Keane Fitness   ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster   Angela is a Nutritionist, Health and Performance Coach.

Balancing Hormones, Effortless Weight Loss & Boosting Energy with Dr Libby Weaver

Dr Libby Weaver Nutritional, biochemist and multiple best-selling author talks with Angela about the three pillars of biochemical, nutritional and emotional which underpin her work and why our beliefs and perception drive our behaviours. When we make choices about foods that don’t serve us it’s never about the food it’s the way we distance ourselves from the way we perceive things are when they are not how we want them to be and this fascinating episode explores how the combination of science, belief systems and nutrition is key in achieving effortless weight loss.   KEY TAKEAWAYS There are consequences to shifts in our bio-chemistry There is no one way for everyone to eat because everyone is different. What everyone should do is eat a diet that is based on real wholefoods The focus needs to be on creating good energy and nourishment Detoxification is a process that is always going on inside of us but can be impacted by lifestyle choices Detoxification is a change process; the liver takes toxic substances  and changes them so that they become harmless Eating a wide range of whole real foods supports the liver with detoxification Constantly elevated stress levels start to change the fuel the body perceives as being safe to use When the body is under stress it looks for a fast-burning fuel and it looks to glucose. The pattern of adrenalin production  today has resulted in inflammatory compounds  in the body High levels of adrenalin create inflammation and cortisol has to increase to deal with this Your body responds to the information you give it Our actions are driven by our beliefs and how we perceive ourselves We construct ourselves and live as if we need approval and in unpacking the beliefs you have created you need to be flexible about how others perceive you You have to do the inner work if you want to make changes to your beliefs It’s never about the food its always about the emotions Humans will do more to avoid pain than gain pleasure Ask yourself if what you are thinking is really true?   BEST MOMENTS ‘Every single second there are billions of biochemical reactions going on inside of us that create how we feel, function and look’ ‘We are completely governed by how we feel’ ‘Life can be incredibly challenging and simultaneously mind-blowingly magnificent’   VALUABLE RESOURCES High Performance Health podcast series\ Transform your sleep DNA optimization High Performance website  Dr Libby Weaver   ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster   Angela is a Nutritionist, Health and Performance Coach.

Hormone Repair: Navigating Peri-menopause & Building Metabolic Reserve with Dr Lara Briden

Dr Lara Briden,  best-selling author of the ‘Hormone Repair Manual’ and the ‘Period Repair Manual’ talks to Angela about the changes that take place during peri-menopause and shares great information on not only impact but also what women should do to support their bodies through this critical time. She explains why sleep is so important and some of the ways you can improve insulin sensitivity and build your metabolic reserve in this informative episode and how to positively navigate this crucial stage in life.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Progesterone is a calming hormone and interacts with the data receptor in the brain Every one shifts to more insulin resistance when they are peri-menopause Sleep improves your physiology, insulin sensitivity and sets you up for the day The worst symptoms, if you do suffer with symptoms are in the 10 years prior to the final period and the first year afterwards It’s temporary it’s not how you are always going to be when the brain has completed its recalibration things will be better When there is insulin resistance it’s difficult to have metabolic flexibility and burn ketones as an alternative to glucose The goal is to feel well and its achieving a balance between the benefits of fasting and low carb versus stress hormones Magnesium and Taurine support the mitochondria and both directly calm the nervous system supporting good sleep If you are metabolically healthy and you have had enough protein then fasting should not be difficult The protein leverage hypothesis is the idea that we will keep eating until we have had enough protein and when you reach this point you will stop eating If you don’t have the stomach for protein you are not ready to eat Peri menopausal allergies are related to the connection between high oestrogen and cells that release histamine   BEST MOMENTS ‘How you behave in the peri-menopausal years is so important’ ‘The priority in your mid to late forties has to be sleep’ ‘It’s a time of such change that it is a critical window for your health’   VALUABLE RESOURCES High Performance Health podcast series\ Transform your sleep DNA optimization High Performance website  Hormone Repair Manual Period Repair Manual   ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster   Angela is a Nutritionist, Health and Performance Coach.

The Power of Fasting To Burn Fat, Heal Inflammation and Age in Reverse with Dave Asprey

There is something for everyone in this episode from the inspiration to get started through to great content on how to develop and upgrade yourself to achieve the changes you want.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Metabolic flexibility is the ability to turn any available nutrient into energy efficiently and quickly When you are metabolically flexible you can take all of the air and all of the food and combine it to make electricity During a fast, you are in repair mode and bulletproof coffee is a hack that doesn’t affect insulin levels MCT oil raises ketones more than coconut oil Women don’t do usually do as well fasting as men who will typically do 2-4 hours longer. Bulletproof coffee changes the voice in your head about food If you are exercising make it intense and make it short. If you move for twenty minutes a day it does good things for energy production You need to space out exercise because recovery is when growth happens Our peak energy and movement time is in the afternoon When you combine light exposure and food exposure you can shift your sleeping window to whenever you want. It’s important to know which exercise works best so you can focus your time efficiently The most important variable in sleep is light exposure Plants produce toxins as part of their survival mechanisms and humans can tolerate the toxins but too much does have an effect on the body If we eat plants with lower toxin levels our biology works better.    BEST MOMENTS ‘You can look at a plate of doughnuts and you just don’t want them there is no inner dialogue, no willpower needed and fasting becomes easy’ ‘I want this to be painless for people and with bulletproof coffee you are simply not hungry’ ‘I don’t want to be hungry; I want my brain to work all the time and my body to look the way I want’   VALUABLE RESOURCES High Performance Health podcast series\ Transform your sleep DNA optimization High Performance website  BulletProof website  BulletProof radio     ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster   Angela is a Nutritionist, Health and Performance Coach.
