High Performance Health

In this fascinating episode, Angela is talking with Fabienne Fredrickson, Founder of Boldheart.com and creator of the Client Attraction System. They talk about the work Fabienne does to help people find what they are here to do in service to the planet and why working with integrity, love and authenticity in business and life are key to achieving balance. There is something for everyone in this very personal interview, with Fabienne sharing her experiences, beliefs and how you can take your message into the world in a bigger way.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Beginning I began in a very different arena but left my corporate job in 1999 because I felt it wasn’t my passion. I started my own practice but didn’t have enough clients, I was making some money but not enough money. By learning everywhere, I could and because I was committed to not going back to corporate or working for someone else in 8 months I filled my practice through authentic marketing and authentic client attraction. I had created a client attraction system for myself and was approached by others who wanted me to teach them how to do the same for their businesses. People then started asking me how they could work with hundreds of clients. To move forward from the overwhelm of 6 figures to 7 figures with your life back is about leveraging your time, your team, your systems and your business model.  The system If you follow and implement the 10 step Client Attraction System you can attract clients and grow your business. The craft is the pillars and it is those that can be leveraged and scaled. You create your proprietary system then you find ways of delivering it in a way where you can work with more people. It helps you take your message into the world in a much bigger way. To whom much is given, much is expected and if you’ve been given a lot its totally ok to have free content, the content that changes lives. The Dalai Lama Through a private invite, a small group of us went there to learn how to change the world. ‘The world is not ok’, ‘if we do nothing our planet will be a desert in 200 years’ We know about climate change but the majority of the population is not paying enough attention. The balance I believe that we, solo entrepreneurs especially the women are the ones who will shift the toxic ways of how we are showing up on the planet. I am both a business coach and here in service of the divine feminine and my belief system tells me it is the toxic masculine that is unbalanced There are 4 things that will change the world; Loving-kindness Compassion Equanimity Living with joy  Boldheart The bold is the masculine – strategy, action,  implementation and mindset The heart  is the feminine – life’s purpose, love,  joy,  friendship, intuition and collaboration. It’s about the difference between masculine and feminine energy. Part of it for women in business is getting back into the feminine. Leveraging time It's about using your time for expediential growth activities that will take you to 7 figures A big part of growing is learning to get your needs met and to no longer needing to people, please. Energy depletion is the worst thing that can happen for a business Getting nutrition, exercise, sleep and your needs met are key to being able to serve A day in the life My daily routine has been different as my journey has progressed. At the start, I used a daily break out and my day was organised to fit absolutely everything in. Now I have a team of 30, I’m very well supported and have a daily breakout where I move from my feminine to masculine and back again. I know the balance is necessary for a happy life. If you want fulfilment you find time to prioritise the things you’d regret if you didn’t, everything is centred around balance and nature.  Self-worth It’s always a deserving issue, if you have the belief that you deserve the best of absolutely everything then you don’t accept anything less than absolutely the best. When you have the right support at home and at work you can do anything. Your team are your collaborators who enable you so you treat them authenticity, lovingly and with integrity.   BEST MOMENTS ‘I help people find that edge, what they are here to do on the planet, then multiply it in service to the world through their business with authenticity, integrity and love’ ‘Money is energy, being rewarded effectively for the value you are giving’ ‘The things that you are passionate about are not random they are your calling’ ‘A strong focus now creates a different future later’   VALUABLE RESOURCES High Performance Health podcast series Boldheart website Angela Foster High Performance Health website   ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster Angela is a Nutritionist, Health and Performance Coach.

“Everything you do creates a change in your brain in the long run.” In this episode of the High-Performance Health Podcast, Angela talks to Dr German Garcia-Fresco, the Director of The Adaptive Neuroscience Research Institute (ANRI) and the Founder of BecomeALearningMachine.com, on how to learn quickly and effectively. Success is highly linked to continuous learning, so as much as possible, we should maintain healthy functioning of our body, especially our brain. Discover today how you can enhance cognition and focus by prioritising your health. Dr German debunks some food myths and gives various advice on nutrition and diet. Aside from this, we dive deep on the difference of IQ & EQ, the benefits of speed reading, and the best learning supplement out there. Get your EarPods ready and start listening. KEY TAKEAWAYS For enhanced cognition and focus, you need to give so much importance to 3 things: nutrition & diet, exercise, and sleep. These also helps in clearing out toxins and reduces the chances of chronic diseases. Overconsumption of alcohol and drugs can cause brain damage or brain injury. The good thing is once you stopped consuming the stuff that’s bad for your health, your brain activity slowly goes back to normal. According to German, it takes 6-12 months for the brain to recover. For quite some time, people believed that fat was bad. Fat is not terrible as you think it is—your body needs it. Companies started making fat-free products so they can still sell. But what people should be worried of is sugar, which has the same effect on the brain when you consume alcohol or drugs. If German were to choose between high IQ and high EQ, he’d choose high EQ. People who have high IQ but have very low EQ are less social, which is something that will ensure high performance and help you climb up the ladder in your career or business. Emotional Intelligence is highly trainable. Understanding how EQ works and affects us is the first step. It’s easier to nurture relationships when we don’t act upon the impulse to react negatively. Techniques to enhance your learning: Interleaving: Studying inter-related subjects at the same time. Dual Coding: Associating words with images. Tips on Speed Reading: Read the back cover or the table of contents so you’ll get the general idea. When you read main text, focus on reading a few words at the same time instead of reading word per word. BEST MOMENTS “Your brain dictates how successful you’re going to be.” “97% of Alzheimer’s cases could have been prevented if you lead a healthy life.” “100 years ago, the average human consumed about 5 grams of sugar per day. Now, the average human consumes 200-300 grams of sugar per day.” “Being addicted to food is harder than being addicted to cocaine.” “The more you know, the more confident you are; the more confident you are, you can sell yourself better.” “Learning is the key to success.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Become A Learning Machine Become A Learning Machine | Dr. German Garcia-Fresco | Udemy Emotional Intelligence 2.0 by Jean Greaves and Travis Bradberry Neuro67 - https://neuro67.com ABOUT THE GUEST Dr. German Garcia-Fresco obtained his PhD. in Molecular Neurobiology at the University of North Carolina.

After almost destroying himself physically through overwork, Tim Gray decided on a complete reboot, starting from the beginning when it came to health.    Since then he has become one of the world’s most influential biohacking experts and health optimisers. Tim joins Angela today to talk about his journey back from the brink, and to share his wisdom and experience in getting the best out of your mind and body.   KEY TAKEAWAYS  Tim was far too focussed on business and not enough upon his health, which caused catastrophic damage to his health, with his immune system essentially shutting down. Needing a complete reboot, Tim decided to focus on rebuilding his health.   Meditation is an extremely effective way of de-stressing your mind and get your brain firing on all cylinders. Couple this with adequate hydration and nootropics to get your brain back to its best.   In order to be at your mental best, Tim recommends a perfect balance of ketogenic diet, hydration, hyperbaric oxygen therapy and smart drugs.   Most of the high performers that Tim knows are all sleeping properly. We need to respect sleep.   If you are going to bed after sunset, use blue-blocking glasses to block out blue light which causes melatonin. Tim recommends using a blackout blind.   Gut health determines our entire physical health. If we’re not chewing properly, if our dental health is not good, and if the enzymes in our stomach aren’t working properly in conjunction with bacteria, then we do not get the nutrients we need.   The reasons we drink water are to flush out toxins, and to help move minerals and nutrients around the blood to fuel the body.   Brain fog can be caused by lack of oxygen, lack of electrolytes, it can be that our electrical system is struggling, and ll these problems can be linked to dehydration.   For people living in cities or towns, Tim recommends hyperbaric oxygen therapy, blue light blocking, grounding mouse mats and bedsheets. We can’t count these things out completely, but we can minimise their effects.   Life is about prioritising health. Money becomes less relevant as our happiness grows. The happiest and smartest people are those who practice preventative health.  BEST MOMENTS  ‘I’ve always been a two hundred mile an hour business guy’   ‘Meditation takes you into the “shower” moment’   ’Sleep is really undervalued’   ‘People really underestimate minerals’   ‘You’ve got to do what you love, and to do what you love you have to be healthy'  ‘Man sacrifices his health to create wealth, and at the end of the life, sacrifices wealth for health'   VALUABLE RESOURCES    The High Performance Health Podcast – Omny  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/timbiohacker/   London Health Optimisation Biohacker Social Circle - https://www.meetup.com/Londons-Biohacker-Bulletproof-Mindset-Social-Circle/   20% Offer - www.bit.ly/optimisehealth   Tim Gray on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkz-XZY4Fc6EWsn-qV66nhg    ABOUT THE HOST  Angela Foster is a Nutritionist, Fitness and Lifestyle Performance Coach.

Diet is not one size fits all. What works for someone might not work for another. In this episode of High-Performance Health Podcast, Angela chats with Bernie Williams, co-founder of myDNAhealth, about the importance of understanding genetics if we want to live healthily. Bernie has always been passionate in nutritional genetics, nutrigenomics, and epigenetics. She shares today how you can practice proper health and nutrition management. We can prevent ill-health by making better lifestyle changes, choosing healthy foods, and situating in a toxic-free environment. Understand how our body works and what’s the best diet and nutrition for you. Be unstoppable in achieving your goals by being fit and healthy. Start tuning in to know more. KEY TAKEAWAYS Gene are a set of instructions for building specific products, such as enzymes. Dietary advice differs from one person to another. Bernie explains that metabolic pathways differ between people, so it’s important you understand how your own body works. Now, how do we distinguish from each other? Genetic Variation, lifestyle choices, environment, and the food you eat. If you’re basing your diet on what a random person on the internet tells you, you’re risking your health. Complications (e.g. inflammation from too much omega-3) can happen when you get more than the enough dose of the supplement. Methylation cycle balance is needed to ensure that every body activity is working optimally. MTHFR (methylenetetrahydrofolate) – if you have this gene variant, enzyme function can reduce up to 6o-70%. So, it’s important to get the right amount of folate and b-vitamins in your body. What is driving obesity? What is driving Type-II Diabetes? Look at your genetic capacity and the choices you make every day. When you understand them already it’s easier to make healthy choices. The improvements will happen and show drastically. Always research on the products before you consume them. Also, make sure you breathe fresh air; stay away from areas that are polluted. BEST MOMENTS “That’s [genetics] only half of the picture, the other half of the picture is actually your environment and your lifestyle.” “When you’re using your lifestyle questionnaires, you want to make sure you’re moving to the right direction.” “The better journey, which is actually easier to do, is to start enjoying food and understanding why it’s better to try cook packed foods…and it doesn’t cause a lot of money.” “How much might you spend to farther down in your health? How much money are you leaving on the table, on your productivity, on your success, by not taking care of your health?” VALUABLE RESOURCES Nutrigenomics: myDNAhealth ABOUT THE GUEST Bernie Williams MA, DIPM, MCIM Co-founder, CEO bernie@mydnahealth.co.uk As a keen sportsperson Bernie has always had an interest in nutrition, health and science and the positive impact in health, longevity and disease prevention. As a young 800m athlete she understood the importance of nutrition for energy utilisation and recovery.       Prior to myDNAhealth, Bernie spent over 20 years in corporate leadership roles where she was recruited to solve problems ranging from growing performance driven multicultural teams, CRM programs and systems and developing brands and products. These corporate environments were highly stressed and her own health and wellbeing was not a priority and she decided to do something about it. So, in 2014 together with the other founders of myDNAhealth, she helped to develop the first DNA testing product and the company was born.

It all starts with your mindset. Your mindset has the power to let you see how and start achieving your goals.  Today on the High-Performance Health Podcast, Angela Foster talks to Lee Tuck, a professional footballer and the founder of 11x Football. Lee started 11x Football to help every aspiring pro footballer and for them to continue to dream. Not everyone has an access to quality training programs provided by professional trainers and coaches. And, as he experienced this kind of dilemma while building his career, Lee offers a helping hand. Through 11x Football, he wants to improve your mindset, your techniques, and your nutrition to help you push yourself in your career. He also shares in this episode his personal stories so make sure to tune in.  KEY TAKEAWAYS  He started playing rugby when he was 8 and football when he was 10. It was when he was 12 that he started training with Halifax Town. He had a year experience of playing professional football. It got tough when he got released.   So, when he moved to Thailand and got a chance to play professional football again, he changed his mindset and his behaviors to start his football career overseas. He trained every day to improve himself.  He has been playing with Terengganu, a professional football club based in Malaysia, for 2 seasons now.  Lee admits that there was no constant football mentor around him while he was building his career. It was the support from his family and his own determination that keeps him resolute in his pursuit of his own legacy.   Having an unstoppable mindset when building your professional football career is powerful. Lee advises to keep visual boards and a journal about your goals, and to meditate to gain focus and clarity.  BEST MOMENTS  “It’s never too late for young males and females to make it (in professional football).”  “What I did was to change my mindset, focus on myself and not what people are doing around me.”  “There’s a lot of players out there who can make it (in professional football) but they don’t know who turn to.”  “Putting this training program in place… it gives these players a chance to improve as players on a professional level and to give them confidence.”  “If you give up, you lose, but if you keep going, then it’s only a matter of time before you’re successful again.”  VALUABLE RESOURCES  11x Football  Lee's free training: https://11xfootball.com/elite-shooting-drills ABOUT THE GUEST  Lee Tuck is an English professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder for Malaysia Super League Terengganu.

Angela is joined in this episode by Stephanie Bellinger, the Spiritual Boss Babe, a mindset expert and spiritual coach who specialises in helping women become the best versions of themselves. By being more aware of our own stories, and by asking the question “Who do I need to be to get where I’m going?”, we can all live the life we’re meant for. Change begins with telling ourselves that we’re ready for it. We are who we want to be, not the sum total of our story so far. In this empowering show, Stephanie talks about the building blocks you need to start effecting positive change immediately. KEY TAKEAWAYS 10 to 20 minute hypnosis sessions with Stephanie each day, in person or by use of her specially produced hypnosis recordings can aid our mindset. The subconscious learns from repetition, so the best way to imprint new beliefs and feelings is take time each day to work new practices into our daily routine. Time is irrelevant when it comes to self-improvement. It’s all about just telling ourselves that we’re ready for change. We’re ready to get out of our own way. I’m ready to learn. Self-belief and an internal energy boost, are the factors that can translate to a more successful business life. If we do the work on ourselves first, then the effects will trickle down. Mental alignment and clarity can only be a benefit to out business perspective. Taking the step first, and taking it yourself, is the first step towards manifestation. You can’t wait for it to come to you. You need to go out there and get it. Stretch your comfort zone. Challenge your identity. In order to build confidence we should do something positive for ourselves each and every day. Also, get out of your comfort zone. It’s harder to  grow in an enclosed space. In business, it’s always better to focus on the energy and gratitude side of your output. Being excited about bringing amazing results to your people should be your primary focus instead of the income you hope to make, which is a by-product of the impact you’re making. Visualise the life you want for yourself. Imagine who is with you. How are you feeling? What does that life look like? By visualising, we take the first step to achieving it.  Life is a constantly evolving journey. We should prepare ourselves for the next stage, and when we reach it, prepare for the stage after that. We’re either growing or dying. The dream life you visualise is only the next step in this journey. There will be more. BEST MOMENTS ‘Hypnosis is so powerful because it puts us in a trance state, and when we’re there we can make new suggestions to the sub-conscious mind, the part of our brain that’s really running the show’ ’Things don’t always have to make logical sense. Instead, more people need to focus on “being”' ‘Jump and it’ll appear’ ‘Action builds confidence and crushes fear’ ‘Imagination is the language of the sub-conscious mind’ ’The whole point of living is to grow and expand. It makes life more exhilarating’ VALUABLE RESOURCES   The High Performance Health Podcast – Omny Stephanie Bellinger - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thespiritualbossbabe/?hl=en Stephanie Bellinger - Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/TheSpiritualBossBabe/ Spiritual Boss Babe - https://spiritualbossbabe.com Spiritual Boss Babe Podcast - http://spiritualbossbabe.com/podcast/     ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster is a Nutritionist, Fitness and Lifestyle Performance Coach.

Angela Foster is joined by AJ Mihrzad, best-selling author, high-performance connoisseur, and founder of Online Supercoach. In this insightful and rewarding episode, AJ shares his formula for success, discusses the importance of health and energy on business and life, and the techniques he uses in order to achieve the state of mind that has led to his incredible success. By doing so, we can always maximise the moment and get the most out of each second. KEY TAKEAWAYS Many people assume that just because a diet works for one person, that it’ll work for them too. But we are each individuals, and our genetic makeup can be completely different. The key is to determine the best course of action depending on our own genetics. Coaching is the art of instilling energy, vitality and health so that people can in turn build healthy, vital companies in turn. AJ is a huge proponent of naps! Regular naps have improved his energy, his vitality and his focus. Coupled with intermittent fasting techniques and meditation, AJ has realised that the “8 Hour Sleep Cycle” is a dormant relic of yesteryear, when work cycles were much different. Our peak periods of creativity may arrive at different times. Some are day people, some are early risers. Some are night owls. It’s okay be creative at these times. Fitting sleep patterns around our most productive periods is perfectly acceptable. Optimising our work areas is a hugely beneficial practice. Allowing ourselves to move and even exercise while working can increase blood flow and productivity, as well as reduce aches, pains and physical stresses. The effect of alcohol on health - Angela is keen to note the difference between drinking a glass of fine red wine, which can contain higher levels of anti-oxidants, and that has been prepared and cared for in a more natural way, is very different to wine you would buy in a store, which is usually full of sulphites. The problem is the quality of the alcohol we consume, and the fact that so many indulge too heavily. Prioritising the care of our health will ultimately ensure our ability to earn. That’s why health is so important to the most successful entrepreneurs and those in business. For AJ, it’s not enough to “fake it till you make it”. The route to real success is built upon the skill to turn ourselves, internally, into the person who achieves our goals.  True success comes from maximising each moment. This begins by asking ourselves constantly: “How can I capitalise on this moment and make the most out of it?" BEST MOMENTS ‘Energy is the biggest thing’ ‘Your main goal is to keep the energy as high as possible' ‘People are attracted to your energy’ ‘When you’re vocal about your biohacks, people understand’ ‘I don’t take any stops when it comes to investing in my health’ ‘Be. Do. Have’ ‘Maximise this moment' VALUABLE RESOURCES   The High Performance Health Podcast – Omny  Onlinesupercoach.com AJ Mihrzad - Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/AJFIT AJ Mihrzad - YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLjX9drBEseUWL7mx83F1lg AJ Mihrzad - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ajmihrzad/ Oura Ring - https://ouraring.com/choose-your-ring/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&gclid=Cj0KCQjwyerpBRD9ARIsAH-ITn-iHO7Kf4z6tH9lQ9zDFnfKQPkW1TPsp9IIQx2n03Nv5r79Mm9uMP8aAj06EALw_wcB Dr Michael Breus's Sleep Test - https://thesleepdoctor.com      ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster is a Nutritionist, Fitness and Lifestyle Performance Coach.

 ‘Everyone can get a good night’s sleep’ In this interview, Angela is discussing the value of sleep with James Swanwick Australian American entrepreneur, speaker, former sports centre anchor on ESPN, host of the James Swanwick podcast and author of the ‘30 day no alcohol challenge’. James shares his extensive advice and expertise on the effects alcohol has on sleep and how we can break the habits that are holding us back. They discuss in depth how the quality of our sleep affects all areas of our lives and the ways in which we can all improve our sleep and improve our lives.   KEY TAKEAWAYS You get to a point where the seemingly innocent drink at the end of the day results in a lack of clarity, focus and energy the following day and all these elements combined lead to a compromised life. The reality is that alcohol is a poison with toxins and those toxins remain in the body for 7 to 10 days. If you do what nature intended and drink water you will look the way nature intended and your hormones will work the way they are supposed to, your clarity focus, and energy increase and your sleep will improve dramatically. If you can sleep the way nature intended it results in a better life. Most people who complete 30-day challenges tell themselves they are depriving themselves and celebrate making it by returning to the same indulgences. I show them how to rewire their brains so that outstanding health becomes the desired reward. The support of friends and family is inconsequential compared to the support you can get from a coach who will hold you accountable when the going gets tough. Some people have very self-destructive behaviour – they are not afraid of failure they are afraid of success and no longer being mediocre. Clarity focus and energy are a choice because naturally, our brain wants to look for danger. If your ‘why ‘is big enough, the ‘how’ just falls into place. Top tips; Don’t drink alcohol Focus on experiencing great sleep – everything starts with great sleep Live in appreciation rather than expectation most of the time Raise your energy with outstanding health – get the right nutrition, hydration and plenty of sunlight. Wear blue light blocking glasses prior to going to sleep. It's about going back to the way we were designed in nature, regulate serotonin and melatonin through exposure to blue light early in the day. Drink lots of water and eat whole foods, those that can be picked, plucked or killed.   BEST MOMENTS ‘Be grateful for what you have achieved, what you have at the moment and grateful for  what you will grow into’ ‘The biggest thing holding us back is ourselves ‘ ‘We are artificially keeping ourselves awake with the devices in our lives’ ‘Alcohol may help you fall asleep, but the quality of sleep will be comprised’ ‘Clarity, focus and energy are a choice because naturally, our brain wants to look for danger’   VALUABLE RESOURCES High Performance Health podcast series Swanwick Organic Comfort Mattress Swanwick Sleep website Discount code; Angela http://jamesswanwick.com/project90 http://30daynoalcoholchallenge.com/ The 30 Day No Alcohol Challenge book by James Swanwick The Power of Habit book by Charles Duhigg   ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster Angela is a Nutritionist, Health and Performance Coach.

In this very special episode, Angela is in conversation with former world boxing champion, personal performance coach, author and professional speaker, Billy Schwer. Since retiring from boxing, Billy has been working with business leaders, showing them how to empower, achieve and score huge wins in business and life.  Billy joins Angela today to discuss his own transformation from boxing as a sport to "Mental Boxing”, an empowering concept born from a period of transition in his own life, along with his seven-step winning formula for success. KEY TAKEAWAYS Billy’s whole life has been founded upon the drive to prove his worth, and to show the world that he is strong enough to take anything on. This is a belief that he tries to instil now into those he coaches. Transitioning from professional sportsman to life in the real world was something that Billy struggled with a great deal, as he was forced to analyse himself all over again. Billy likens the process to mourning the death of a friend. Billy The Boxer was someone who suddenly did not exist anymore, and the effect upon himself was devastating.  Time and perspective have allowed Billy to realise that although he spent the first part of his life fighting and pushing himself in order to achieve his goals, when he reached them, he suddenly came to the understanding that the journey itself was the important part. The things that caused Billy to be a champion inside the ring, also caused him to fail outside of it. Always be conscious of every outcome of the decisions we make in life. By stepping back and analysing himself in detail, he realised that and was able to make valuable adjustments. Failing to admit to ourselves that things aren’t going as planned can often be a huge stumbling block in self=growth. Billy advises that we stop and “man-up”. Admit when things aren’t going well. It might be hard, but the rewards are endless. Part of Billy’s incredible success in boxing was his ability to completely visualise every aspect of every fight, from the arrival at the venue to the fight itself, and even so far as to envisioning the press conference afterwards. By seeing the fight beforehand and visualising his victory over and over again, Billy was able to instil a highly-developed sense of self-belief that often carried him to victory. Self-doubt is a huge killer of the belief in what’s possible. You’re only as good as the future you’re living into and manifesting for yourself. Live for each moment and don’t waste precious time doubting or worrying about the things that might happen. We have coaches to help us along in sports. There are coaches for people in business. Even the most successful and financially wealthy people have coaches. Coaches in life are equally as important and should be more widely accepted. It’s not always about an abundance of training or exercise in order to make ourselves feel better. Being fit, healthy and positive is all about using exercise in an efficient way. Little and often can sometime be far more effective than pushing ourselves to breaking point. BEST MOMENTS ‘I believe there’s always a reason why we do what we do' ‘Opinions are like bellybuttons.

Angela is joined by musician and holistic health expert and entrepreneur Niraj Naik, to talk about his truly inspiring story.  Niraj became known as “The Renegade Pharmacist” after applying the practices of nutritional and holistic therapies alongside his role as a traditional pharmacist. After facing an intense backlash from the big corporations, Niraj was beset by his own health problems that saw him housebound with depression and ulcerative colitis.  But by using his own knowledge and expertise, Niraj managed to cure himself of this condition, and has ever since used this same knowledge and set of techniques to positively transform the lives and health of many, many others.  Join the conversation between Angela and Niraj to hear about his definition of true health, and the inspiring, empowering methods he uses to achieve it. KEY TAKEAWAYS After suffering from colitis and seeing no way out, Niraj was advised that if he healed himself, he would be a great role model to others, and so began to study alternative methods of treatment and form contacts with people around the world who had done the same thing.  Breathing techniques and music led Niraj to develop Soma, music that eases the listener into different brainwave sets. Combining this with breathing techniques, and by placing himself in a sauna environment, Niraj was able to achieve trance states where he was able to re-programme his sub-conscious mind. Niraj believes that when we train our vibrational state through meditation, music, yoga or other methods, we alter our own frequencies, and attract others who may be on the same wavelength and mission. This is what led Niraj to create Soma. Manifestation and magic won’t work unless you feel good. Self-analysis will reveal the things that are making us feel bad and good. Move toward the things that make you feel good.  The diet and lifestyle that work for you may be completely different to those that work for other people depending on your personal energy type. Through pranayama techniques we can control the efficiency of mitochondria through oxygen. The more efficient it becomes, the less you need to breathe. Too much oxygen can cause damage, which Niraj likens to a wildfire on a cellular level. Pranayama is all about optimising our breathing and making our oxygen intake far more efficient. Yoga is about anaerobic exercise as opposed to aerobic exercise. Aerobics is where the practitioner switches from one yoga pose to the next very quickly, and is the most common. Anaerobics is where the pose is held for a much longer time, forcing certain muscles to use up their individual energy supply and nutrients.   By studying people such as the Nepalese Ghurka army and the competitors in the Mexican Olympics, that high altitudes can have an incredible effect upon our strength and health due to low oxygen levels, and in some cases can see a reduction or reversal in symptoms of some diseases. Niraj has incorporated these learnings into his fitness protocols BEST MOMENTS ‘The word “I” as in ill, and “We” as in wellness’ ‘The subconscious mind is like an operating system’ ‘You become an architect of your own software’ ‘The first thing you need to find out is what is your bliss?’ ‘How long you can hold your breath is a measure of how efficient your mitochondria is at using oxygen’ ‘What we’re doing is a spiritual practice without any of the dogma or any of the fluff of religion’ ‘I really believe in the golden rule which is do unto others as you would do unto yourself’ ‘The fact that we are even alive is a miracle' VALUABLE RESOURCES  The High Performance Health Podcast – Omny Soma Breath - https://www.somabreath.com/about-niraj-soma-breath/ Niraj’s 21 day Awakening Breath Protocol - https://www.somabreath.com Exclusive offer of 20% off with the code soma20 for listeners to this podcast! Soma Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/517749358627036/   ABOUT THE GUEST Niraj Naik first discovered the power of breath after finding peace and solace in a sauna after a hard days work from his highly stressful career as a community pharmacist, when frequently visiting a wellness center called Nirvana in his home town of Reading, England.  He instinctively began to extend his exhalation and even make toning sounds with his voice that would bring him into a deep meditative state. To the surprise of other members of the spa, he was able to stay in the sauna for many times longer than everyone else, up to 45-1hr at 90c+ temperatures. Eventually he escaped the pharmacy as he was promoted to the head office of one of the largest supermarket chains in the UK to carry out his novel healthy shopping list system for delivering essential life saving information to patients on diet, nutrition and holistic health.  This helped Niraj form the curriculum for Soma Breath, a system based on the traditional yogic practices before they were altered by modern day practitioners of yoga from which this new field of breathwork has emerged, who have either made yoga more dogmatic or have misunderstood it’s real truth and the real breathwork that is contained in the ancient practices of pranayama.   ABOUT THE HOSTAngela Foster Angela is a Nutritionist, Health and Performance Coach.
