Angela welcomes Dr. Peter Martone, an expert in sleep biomechanics, to discuss the critical impact of sleep positioning on overall health and well-being. Dr. Martone shares insights on how proper spinal alignment during sleep can enhance restorative sleep, improve heart rate variability (HRV), and regulate the parasympathetic nervous system, which is essential for reducing stress and promoting recovery. The conversation delves into the concept of the "triune of sleep," emphasising the importance of alignment, subconscious safety, and conscious relaxation techniques   MAIN TAKEAWAYS The Sleep Triune: Alignment, Safety, and Subconscious Control: Dr Martone presents the Sleep Triune, explaining that true sleep quality starts with proper alignment. If the body is misaligned during sleep, it leads to subconscious pain, causing tossing and turning throughout the night. Corrective Sleep Positioning for Spinal Health:  The ideal sleep position is lying on the back with arms at the side, legs straight, and a pillow under the neck (not the head). This position supports the natural cervical curve and prevents long-term structural problems. Sleep Avatars: Personalising Sleep Based on Subconscious Patterns:  Dr Martone categorises sleepers into three avatars—Armadillo, Gorilla, and Ostrich—based on their subconscious sleep habits. Understanding your sleep type can help tailor strategies to improve both sleep quality and overall health. Optimising the Vagus Nerve for Better Health: Misalignment in the cervical spine can compress the vagus nerve, leading to a range of issues, from poor digestion and immune system dysfunction to anxiety and depression. Aligning the neck properly during sleep can enhance vagus nerve function and improve parasympathetic tone. Breathing Techniques to Calm the Mind: Focusing on long exhalations rather than inhalations helps calm the mind and body. Dr Martone recommends a simple technique: breathe in slowly, let the breath out even more slowly, and pause before inhaling again.   TIMESTAMPS & KEY TOPICS 00:01 – Introduction to Dr Peter Martone and the role of sleep positioning in health. 01:41 – The Sleep Triune: Why proper alignment is crucial for sleep and health. 06:51 – Corrective sleeping position: Back sleep with pillow under the neck, not the head. 13:15 – Understanding the three sleep avatars: Armadillo, Gorilla, and Ostrich. 21:07 – Impact of vagus nerve compression on parasympathetic function. 33:49 – Strategies to calm the subconscious: Pressure points and breathing techniques. 37:42 – Importance of exhaling for falling asleep: A simple breathing exercise. 41:28 – Customising sleep strategies based on sleep avatars. 42:42 – How sleep posture impacts your ability to create the reality you want. 45:15 – Call to Action: Take the Animal Sleep Avatar Quiz at DoctorSleepRight.com.

Angela talks to Rachel Varga about the world of skincare, focusing on the topical application of GHK copper and the intricacies of micro-needling. They discuss the importance of product stability and formulation, emphasising that the effectiveness of ingredients like hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and retinol depends on their molecular size and stability. They also discuss emerging skincare trends, such as NAD and photo-biomodulation, while stressing the need for thorough research and caution when using at-home laser devices. KEY TAKEAWAYS Copper peptides are commonly used in skincare for pigmentation reduction and skin brightening, but the stability of the final product and the formulation's effectiveness are crucial for achieving desired results. Microneedling does not require deep penetration; superficial treatments can enhance product absorption without causing pain or bleeding. Different depths can be used based on individual skin concerns, such as acne scarring or skin laxity. Not all skincare products are suitable for transdermal application. It's essential to choose products specifically designed for use with dermal rolling to ensure safety and effectiveness. Many at-home laser and microneedling devices can be ineffective or even harmful if not used correctly. It's important to research the quality and reputation of these devices to avoid potential skin damage. BEST MOMENTS "You do not need to go that deep. You shouldn't be seeing any blood. It shouldn't be painful." "I always take new things with a grain of salt because I never want to waste anyone's time and money." "Lasers are the number one point of litigation and where things can go wrong in medical aesthetics." "I started to eat the right foods, follow a low inflammatory lifestyle, and now I'm actually at 90% skincare, dermal rolling, healthy living practices."

Angela talks to behavioural coach Emma Dunwoody about the fascinating world of human design, exploring its synthesis of ancient wisdoms such as Western astrology, the Kabbalah tree of life, the Chinese I Ching, and the Hindu chakra system. Emma explains how human design serves as an energetic blueprint that reveals our unique superpowers, challenges, and life lessons, highlighting the importance of understanding one's design to enhance manifestation and personal growth, as well as the impact of conditioning on our true selves. KEY TAKEAWAYS Human design is a synthesis of four ancient wisdoms—Western astrology, the Kabbalah tree of life, the Chinese I Ching, and the Hindu chakra system—providing an energetic blueprint that reveals how individuals are designed to operate in the world. There are five main types in human design: Manifestors (initiators), Generators (inspired doers), Manifesting Generators (multi-passionate hybrids), Projectors (guides), and Reflectors (mirrors of truth). Each type has a unique way of interacting with the world and making decisions. Conditioning can lead individuals to pursue goals and desires that are not truly aligned with their authentic selves. Human design helps individuals recognize their true desires and superpowers, allowing them to break free from societal expectations and conditioning. In human design, understanding one's strategy and authority is crucial. For example, Generators are encouraged to respond to external stimuli and trust their gut feelings, which helps them identify what truly lights them up and brings them energy. BEST MOMENTS "Human design is a synthesis of four ancient wisdoms which are Western astrology, the Kabbalah tree of life, the Chinese I Ching, and the Hindu chakra system." "The more I was becoming aligned to my design, the more I had authentic desires, authentic things I wanted to manifest." "What human design often shows us is that the thing we want to fix or change is actually something that is our superpower." "The most amazing thing could turn up in your life, but if you have no passion, no energy, no lit up for it, then it's just not correct for you."

Everyone wants to burn more fat and stay healthier, but what's the best way to go about it? In this short, sharp biohack episode, Angela flies solo to tell you about three ways to dynamically reduce your body fat and set yourself up for a leaner life in general. KEY TAKEAWAYS We can often confuse our minds and bodies with a variety of diets, and get caught up in copying the success of others. We need to remember that certain diets don't work for everyone. A great way to add protein into your first meal of the day is to add greek yoghurt with a small handful of almonds and raspberries or blueberries. Look for ways to bring more movement into your day, even if it's just getting up more regularly. At places such as work, set small alarms and make sure you're doing something to raise your heart rate. BEST MOMENTS 'All of us have that little bit we'd like to lose' 'Nice fibre, healthy fats and some proteins' 'If you employ these principles, you are going to burn more fat' VALUABLE RESOURCES Get a free snapshot of your health and personalised report at www.yourtotalhealthcheck.com Join The High Performance Health CommunityFree Fasting Guide - www.angelafosterperformance.com/fasting ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster is an award winning Nutritionist, Health & Performance Coach, Speaker and Host of the High Performance Health podcast.

Angela is joined by Siim Land, the author of "The Longevity Leap," to discuss the intricacies of aging and the various factors that influence longevity. Together, they look into the biological mechanisms behind aging, including mitochondrial dysfunction and chronic inflammation, while also exploring the concept of peak physical performance across different life stages. Siim also discusses the importance of exercise, particularly cardiovascular training and strength training, in enhancing VO2 max and overall health. KEY TAKEAWAYS Aging is a complex process influenced by various factors, including cellular dysfunction, mitochondrial health, and chronic inflammation. Key characteristics of aging include telomere shortening, cell senescence, and loss of autophagy. Different aspects of physical performance peak at various ages. While metabolic health is generally best in the teenage years, muscle strength peaks in the early 30s for men and early 40s for women. After the 30s, many individuals may start to experience a decline in health, often exacerbated by a sedentary lifestyle. VO2 max, a measure of maximum oxygen consumption during exercise, is crucial for longevity and overall health. It can be improved through both low-intensity and high-intensity cardiovascular exercises, with longer intervals (2-4 minutes) being particularly effective for enhancing VO2 max. Strength training is essential for maintaining muscle mass and strength as one ages. Focusing on compound lifts (like squats and deadlifts) and progressive overload is key to promoting muscle growth and functional fitness, which are linked to reduced mortality risk.

Angela is joined by Peter Sage to discuss the transformative power of auto-suggestion and affirmations as discussed in Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich." They explore the importance of aligning one's heart and mind to effectively reprogram self-beliefs and self-image, and look at the critical role of environment and peer influence in shaping our thoughts and behaviours, highlighting how conformity can impact personal growth KEY TAKEAWAYS Auto-suggestion and affirmations are essential tools for self-development, but they are only effective when there is alignment between the heart and mind. Self-doubt can undermine the impact of affirmations. The people you surround yourself with significantly affect your self-image and beliefs. Being in a positive environment with like-minded individuals can enhance personal growth, while a negative environment can lead to conformity and stagnation. Humans are naturally programmed to conform to their environment. This means that if you are surrounded by negative influences, you are likely to adopt similar behaviours and mindsets, making it crucial to choose your environment wisely. The brain's reticular activating system filters information based on what is deemed important, such as personal relevance or safety. Understanding this system can help individuals focus on what they want to attract into their lives. BEST MOMENTS "Most people are too busy running around in the level that I call by me... you're swimming upstream against the current of life." "Affirmations don't really do anything if your heart and your mind aren't aligned. If you've got any kind of self-doubt, you're basically putting lipstick on a pig." "We don't get to vote on whether or not we get programmed. We only get to vote on how we want to be programmed." "If you're hanging around with people that have low self-esteem, I don't care how great you are walking into that environment. Over time, environment wins."
