Stronger, Faster, Younger: The Science of Mitochondrial Health with Dr Anurag Singh
Angela talks to Dr. Anurag Singh, Chief Medical Officer at Timeline that develops next generation advanced nutritional and skincare products targeting improvements in mitochondrial and cellular health. Dr Singh discusses the critical topic of mitochondrial health and its profound impact on energy levels and longevity. He explains the role of mitochondria as the energy factories of our cells and discusses how aging affects their function, leading to fatigue and other health issues. Together, Angela and Dr Singh look at various factors that can damage mitochondria, including diet, exercise, sleep, and social interactions, emphasising the importance of a holistic approach to health. KEY TAKEAWAYS
Mitochondria: The Body's Energy FactoriesMitochondria act as your cells’ battery packs, fueling energy, performance, and cognitive function. Damaged mitochondria lead to fatigue and aging, but promoting mitophagy helps regenerate healthy ones.
Exercise and Fasting Boost MitochondriaRegular exercise, especially endurance and resistance training, alongside calorie restriction or intermittent fasting, significantly enhances mitochondrial function and overall health.
The Power of Urolithin AUrolithin A, a postbiotic from certain foods, promotes mitophagy, improving energy, muscle strength, recovery, and even cognitive health, with benefits supported by multiple clinical trials.
Mitochondria's Role in Inflammation and ImmunityPoor mitochondrial health triggers chronic inflammation. Optimizing mitochondria enhances immune response and reduces systemic inflammation.
Emerging Insights on Brain HealthEarly research shows urolithin A may support brain health by addressing mitophagy deficits linked to cognitive decline, sleep disorders, and neuroinflammation. TIMESTAMPS AND KEY TOPICS

Bitesize: Stronger, Leaner & Confident: The Workout Strategy Every Woman Needs for Lasting Results | Vince Sant
Angela is joined by fitness guru Vince Sant, to talk about the complexities of women's fitness, particularly as they approach perimenopause and beyond. The discussion emphasises the importance of resistance training, clarifying the benefits of lifting heavier weights versus higher repetition ranges for body composition and muscle definition KEY TAKEAWAYS
Muscle vs. Fat: Muscle is denser than fat, so building muscle while burning fat results in a leaner, toned appearance.
Optimal Rep Ranges: For strength, use low reps (5x5). For body composition, prioritize 8-15 reps to maximize muscle fiber engagement and metabolism.
Intensity Matters: Challenge muscles during workouts for better results. Proper effort is crucial, regardless of weight range.
Debunking Myths: Women won’t “bulk up” by lifting heavier weights due to hormonal differences. Resistance training builds lean muscle and boosts metabolism.
Fasted vs. Pre-Fueled Training: The best approach depends on your schedule and personal preference. Consistency and enjoyment are key for long-term adherence.
Progress is Nonlinear: Everyone has off days. The focus should be on discipline and maintaining habits, even when motivation wanes.

Neuroscientist, TJ Power Reveals The DOSE Effect: Reset Your Brain, Boost Motivation & Confidence
Angela talks to TJ Power, the author of "The Dose Effect," who shares his personal journey through mental health challenges and the insights he gained from studying psychology and neuroscience. They discuss the importance of understanding the four key brain chemicals—dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins—and how they influence our motivation, relationships, mood, and stress levels. TJ emphasises the significance of managing expectations to enhance happiness and explores practical strategies for improving mental well-being, such as spending time in nature, breaking down goals into manageable steps, and addressing the inner critic. KEY TAKEAWAYS
The Power of D.O.S.E.: Understanding dopamine (motivation), oxytocin (connection), serotonin (mood), and endorphins (stress relief) is essential for improving mental health and performance.
Avoid Overstimulation: Overuse of phones, social media, and sugar can overstimulate dopamine pathways, leading to crashes and low mood. Start your day with action, not distractions, to reset your brain.
Nature for Mental Clarity: Spending time in nature without distractions helps process thoughts, calm the mind, and increase serotonin for balanced mood and focus.
Oxytocin Builds Confidence: Connection and contribution elevate oxytocin levels, boosting confidence and improving social interactions.
Break Goals into Small Steps: Avoid feeling overwhelmed by long-term goals by breaking them into manageable chunks with attainable short-term deadlines.
Balance Technology: While helpful, tools like fitness trackers can trigger dopamine spikes. Regular detoxes or mindful use improve mental health.
Quiet Moments Matter: Take time to reflect without distractions. Regularly spending time in silence or with minimal stimulation helps clear mental clutter. TIMESTAMPS

Bitesize: What Every Woman Needs to Know About Building Strength and Power with Dr. Stacy Sims
Angela is joined by Dr Stacy Sims for a bitesize edition devoted to the intricacies of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and resistance training specifically tailored for women navigating perimenopause and postmenopause. They discuss the importance of adjusting workout intensity and frequency based on hormonal changes, emphasising the need for increased doses of sprint interval and strength training as women transition through these phases. KEY TAKEAWAYS Take Ownership of Your Workouts: You’re paying for your classes and fitness routines, so tailor them to your body’s needs. Intervals and training formats must work for you, not the other way around. Strength Training at All Stages: Building muscle before menopause creates a foundation for better health, stronger bones, and more energy. Women should focus on resistance training and power-based exercises to maintain joint stability and lean mass. HIIT and Sprint Training Adaptations: Women in perimenopause benefit from 2–3 HIIT or sprint sessions weekly, while postmenopausal women need increased doses of shorter sprint and resistance training to stimulate muscle and bone health effectively. Periodization is Key: Adjust training in phases throughout the year to match hormonal changes, seasons, and lifestyle. Periodized programs with focused blocks (e.g., VO2 work, hypertrophy, or strength) allow sustainable progress. Consistency Builds Strength and Longevity: A gradual approach to higher-intensity training ensures joint and muscle health, particularly in late postmenopause. The goal is to gradually increase intensity and frequency, avoiding injury while building resilience. Plyometric Training Misconceptions: High-intensity activities like box jumps or battle ropes can count as plyometric or sprint work. The key is short bursts of effort at high intensity (RPE 9–10).

Fresh Starts: The Science of Small Steps to Transform Your Health and Longevity
Angela looks into the concept of fresh starts and how they can be leveraged to achieve lasting change in health and wellbeing. With January serving as a prime example of a fresh start, she highlights the importance of mindset shifts and the power of small, consistent actions over grand resolutions. Drawing on insights from experts like Dr. Katie Milkman and James Clear, Angela focusses on the significance of creating systems that make goals easier to achieve, building momentum through discipline, and connecting deeply with one's "why." KEY TAKEAWAYS Fresh Starts Are Everywhere: Fresh starts don’t only happen in January. Moments like Mondays, spring, or September's back-to-school energy are natural opportunities to reset. Embrace these times to let go of past failures and start fresh, creating a psychological shift that boosts motivation. Start Small for Big Changes: Trying to achieve big goals in one leap often leads to burnout or failure. Instead, break your goals into small, actionable steps. Whether it’s committing to just 10 minutes of exercise or swapping one unhealthy meal for a healthy one, these small wins build momentum and confidence over time. Consistency Fuels Momentum: Motivation can fade, but showing up consistently creates progress. Even on days you don’t feel like it, a simple action—like walking for five minutes or stretching—keeps the habit alive. Remember, it’s about progress, not perfection. Create a System That Removes Resistance: Instead of relying on willpower, set up systems that make it easier to succeed. For example, laying out workout clothes the night before or prepping a single healthy meal simplifies decision-making and reduces the resistance to start. Connect Deeply With Your "Why": Knowing why a goal matters to you creates a strong emotional connection and keeps you motivated. Align your actions with the person you want to become, casting "votes" daily for that version of yourself. Visualize your future self, write letters to them, or make decisions that your 80-year-old self will thank you for. Cap Off Your Day With Intention: Use the CAP method—Celebrate wins, Appreciate gratitude, and Prioritize for the next day. Celebrating progress, reframing setbacks as lessons, and practicing gratitude shifts your mindset to focus on what’s working and prepares you for success the next day. TIMESTAMPS AND KEY TOPICS

Why Walking is the Ultimate Hack for Longevity, Strength, and Happiness with Mark Sisson
Angela talks to health and fitness legend Mark Sisson, a pivotal figure in the ancestral health movement for over two decades. They discuss the critical components of longevity, focussing upon the importance of balance, nutrition, and movement, particularly walking. Mark shares insights from his new book, "Born to Walk," highlighting how walking can be a more effective and sustainable exercise strategy compared to running, especially for those looking to improve their health and energy levels. KEY TAKEAWAYS
Walking for Longevity and Health: Walking is a fundamental human activity, supporting balance, digestion, lymphatic health, and mental well-being.
Rethinking Running: Running, especially with poor form and cushioned shoes, can be harmful for many people. Walking, complemented by occasional sprints and strength training, is more sustainable.
Barefoot Movement: Minimalist shoes or barefoot walking enhances balance, proprioception, and foot health, aligning with the body's natural biomechanics.
Diet and Metabolic Flexibility: Centering meals around protein and achieving metabolic flexibility through lower-carb diets supports energy and fat burning.
Importance of Collagen: Collagen supports joint health, skin elasticity, and overall recovery, making it a crucial supplement for active individuals.

Bitesize: Unlock Your Potential: Overcome Limiting Beliefs & Rewire Your Mind for Success | Paul Sheppard
Angela is joined by life coach and mindset expert, Paul Sheppard, for a look into the concept of mindfulness and the power of present moment awareness, sparked by a compelling question: "What will your next thought be?" They explore how our minds often time travel to the past or future, leading to unnecessary misery and distraction from the present, and highlight the importance of devaluing negative thoughts and conditioning to create new, empowering beliefs. KEY TAKEAWAYS
The Power of the Present Moment: Living in the now eliminates the illusion of a more important future moment, reducing stress and unhappiness.
Mindfulness Question: Asking, "What will your next thought be?" can create a powerful pause in the mind, even for individuals dealing with ADHD or intrusive thoughts.
Devaluing Old Beliefs: To override limiting beliefs, recognize and devalue them by acknowledging their cost and irrelevance to your present life.
Breaking the Stress Addiction: Many people are unconsciously addicted to the hormones of stress and struggle, but mindfulness and intentional habits can break this cycle.
Radical Honesty for Change: Reflecting on why unhappiness feels more important than happiness can reveal hidden patterns and help dismantle them.
