High Performance Health Angela Foster

Angela is joined by the incredible Liz Earle, an expert in empowering midlife women to be stronger and better than ever. Liz discusses the challenges faced by women in midlife, the importance of self-care, and the need to prioritise oneself.

They delve into the significance of hormones, skin care, and biohacking for aging well, plus Liz shares her insights on supplements, skin care routines, and the use of red light therapy for overall health and well-being.

KEY TAKEAWAYS


Start by prioritising yourself, especially during midlife when facing various challenges. Taking care of yourself is essential for overall well-being.
Incorporate small health habits that stack together to have a big impact on your health.
Focus on simple and easy practices that can make a difference at any age.
Understand the importance of hormones, especially oestrogen, in skin health and overall well-being.
Consider hormone replacement therapy if needed.
Focus on a high-protein diet with healthy fats for internal skincare.
For external skincare, consider ingredients like retinol, vitamin C serums, and collagen supplements.
for better education on menopause, hormonal health, and women's health in medical schools and among healthcare professionals to ensure proper care and treatment options are available.

BEST MOMENTS

"I think the key is to start with yourself. You have to prioritise you. You have to make a commitment right at the beginning that you are worth it."

"I think it's all about trying to get your body to work in a better, younger way for you. So rather than try and impose something else on your skin or your body and force it into doing something, I think to give it the tools to do it for itself is a more successful option."

"Using collagen to support bones and joint health, I think is really useful. And I also add things like powdered bone broth to my coffee and shakes and yogurt and soup and anything."

Angela is joined by Dr Libby Weaver to discuss the complex relationship between women's bodies and achieving the ideal body composition. Drawing from personal experiences and observations with patients, they challenge the traditional belief that calorie restriction and intense exercise are the only factors influencing body shape and size. The discussion highlights the impact of stress hormones, particularly adrenaline, on the body's ability to burn fat and store fat

KEY TAKEAWAYS


The traditional belief that the calorie equation is the sole factor influencing body shape and size is challenged by real-life experiences where calorie restriction does not always lead to weight loss.
The idea that intense exercise is necessary to maintain weight or body shape can be deeply ingrained, leading individuals to over-exercise unnecessarily.
Elevated adrenaline levels due to psychological stress, rather than physical danger, can disrupt the body's natural processes, affecting digestion, fuel utilisation, and food cravings.
Modern lifestyles with constant stressors can lead to chronically elevated adrenaline levels, impacting the body's ability to use fat as fuel and increasing cravings for sugary foods.

BEST MOMENTS

"You meet people who are very good at restricting calories and they still don't lose any body fat, they don't lose weight. In fact, sometimes it goes in the opposite direction."

"I ran like that because it was so ingrained in me in my education that you had to exercise intensely to maintain the way that you are, to basically be able to eat."

"So many women still think like that. And it breaks my heart because they live in this world of, I feel like I've got to eat like a tiny little bird and I've got to exercise like a maniac."

"And it's our perceptions of pressure and urgency and it's the way we unconsciously worry about maintaining the approval of others. So in other words, it's caffeine and primarily psychological stress rather than a threat to our life."

Angela is joined by Vince Sant, the world’s fastest growing fitness coach and viral sensation, to talk about optimising metabolic health and achieving ideal physical shape, especially with the upcoming spring and summer seasons.

Vince shares insights on overcoming obstacles in body re-composition, understanding different body types, setting realistic fitness goals, and the importance of tailored approaches to diet and exercise, as well as delving into the significance of cardio training, including various forms like steady-state, low-intensity, and HIIT workouts.

KEY TAKEAWAYS


Tailoring fitness routines and diet plans to individual goals, body types, and lifestyles is crucial for long-term success.
Understanding body types (ectomorph, endomorph, mesomorph) can help in choosing the right training and diet strategies for optimal results.
Different forms of cardio (steady-state, low-intensity, HIIT) offer varied benefits, and selecting the one that aligns with personal preferences and schedules is key.
Consider incorporating essential amino acids, caffeine, and electrolytes like salt for improved workout performance and recovery.
Consistent adherence to a workout routine that is enjoyable and fits into one's lifestyle is more important than following a rigid plan that may not be sustainable.

BEST MOMENTS

"I think enjoyment trumps all”

“I lift heavy weights. I like going midday. I like getting two or three meals a week."

"BCAAs are a phenomenal option. BCAAs are essential, they have your essential amino acids in them."

"I was in pretty terrible shape, to be honest. My lifting had consisted mostly of bodybuilding style exercises, which I do blood work every six months”

Angela is joined by Rachel Varga to talk about the importance of skincare, sun protection, and biohacking for optimal health and wellness. They focus on the significance of wearing mineral sunscreen daily, especially due to the deeper penetration of blue light from screens into the skin.

They also talk about the use of pregnancy-safe and kid-safe products free of harmful toxins, such as parabens and sulfates, exploring the role of peptides, specifically Melanotan-2, in enhancing melanin production, anti-aging benefits, and libido enhancement

KEY TAKEAWAYS


Avoid products with chemical sunscreens like avobenzone or oxybenzone.
Opt for mineral sunscreens with zinc or titanium as active ingredients to protect hormone production.
Look for products free of parabens, phthalates, sulfates, artificial dyes, and fragrances to ensure safety for both adults and children.
Consider Melanotan-2 for tanning: This peptide can help increase melanin production, providing a tan without the need for self-tanners, while also offering other benefits like libido enhancement and appetite suppression.
Be cautious with new rejuvenation options: Wait for products like peptides and stem cells to be well-studied and established in the market before considering them for anti-aging or aesthetic purposes.

BEST MOMENTS

"The blue light coming from your devices and screens is actually penetrating 100 nanometers deeper into the skin than the naturally occurring UVA and UVB rays."

"I'm a big fan of using pregnancy safe, kid safe products for hair care, cleaning, and personal care, free of toxins like parabens, phthalates, and sulfates”

"I do not fear the sun but ensure I have great products on my face, neck, chest, hands, and take hyper-focused antioxidants and supplements for internal defence."

Angela is joined by Dr. Neil Barnard to discuss the benefits of a plant-based diet, particularly focusing on the health implications of avoiding meat and dairy products.

Dr. Barnard explains how fibre, found in plant-based foods, plays a crucial role in reducing cholesterol levels and aiding in weight loss. He emphasises the importance of essential amino acids from plant sources over animal protein for overall health.

Angela and Dr Barnard also delve into the impact of saturated fats on cholesterol levels and the link between animal products and diseases like Alzheimer's

KEY TAKEAWAYS


A plant-based diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and beans has been shown to promote weight loss effectively.
Foods like blueberries, cruciferous vegetables, green leafy vegetables, melons, citrus fruits, and beans are particularly beneficial for weight management.
Saturated fat intake, primarily from animal products like dairy and meat, has been linked to an increased risk of health issues such as Alzheimer's disease.
Avoiding saturated fats and focusing on plant-based sources of essential nutrients can significantly improve overall health.
Insulin resistance, often caused by the accumulation of fat particles in muscle cells, can lead to persistent high blood sugar levels.
Eliminating animal products and reducing added oils from the diet can help improve insulin sensitivity and regulate blood sugar levels effectively.
A balanced plant-based diet with fats comprising less than 10% of total calories, complex carbohydrates as the main energy source, and adequate protein intake can support overall health and weight management without the need for strict calorie counting or macronutrient tracking.

BEST MOMENTS

"The protein in meat is inferior to plant protein."

"The Mediterranean people were annoyed. They thought, I signed up for a research study, and I'm supposed to lose weight, and I'm not losing."

"The answer to that is not to avoid healthy foods. The answer to that is to get the fat out of your cells."

"Your body is designed to use glucose as its favourite fuel."

ABOUT THE GUEST

Dr. Barnard has led numerous research studies investigating the effects of diet on diabetes, body weight, hormonal symptoms, and chronic pain, including a groundbreaking study of dietary interventions in type 2 diabetes, funded by the National Institutes of Health, that paved the way for viewing type 2 diabetes as a potentially reversible condition for many patients. Dr. Barnard has authored more than 100 scientific publications and 20 books for medical and lay readers, and is the editor in chief of the Nutrition Guide for Clinicians, a textbook made available to all U.S. medical students.

As president of the Physicians Committee, Dr. Barnard leads programs advocating for preventive medicine, good nutrition, and higher ethical standards in research. His research contributed to the acceptance of plant-based diets in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. In 2015, he was named a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology. In 2016, he founded the Barnard Medical Center in Washington, DC, as a model for making nutrition a routine part of all medical care.   

Working with the Medical Society of the District of Columbia and the American Medical Association, Dr. Barnard has authored key resolutions, now part of AMA policy, calling for a new focus on prevention and nutrition in federal policies and in medical practice. In 2018, he received the Medical Society of the District of Columbia’s Distinguished Service Award. He has hosted four PBS television programs on nutrition and health.

Angela presents a bitesize biohack alongside Dr Izabella Wentz, where the focus is on fixing adrenal protocols and addressing stressors that impact the body's response to stress. The discussion delves into various factors such as sleep deprivation, psychological stress, history of traumas, nutritional stressors, and the importance of pleasurable activities in reducing stress levels

KEY TAKEAWAYS


Sleep deprivation, psychological stress, history of traumas, nutritional stressors, and excessive exercise can all send danger signals to the body and contribute to adrenal dysfunction.
Ensuring blood sugar balance, consuming adequate protein and fat, replenishing depleted nutrients like B vitamins and magnesium, and incorporating mitochondrial support can help in restoring adrenal health.
individuals experiencing adrenal burnout, longer fasts, extreme exercise, and other high-stress activities may exacerbate symptoms rather than improve them. It's essential to listen to the body and prioritize gentle, nourishing practices.
Engaging in activities that bring joy and relaxation, such as spending time in nature or pursuing hobbies for enjoyment rather than profit, can help shift the body from a stress response to a thriving state.

BEST MOMENTS

"Fasting can be healthy for a lot of people if they're healthy enough to fast, but when you're in a really depleted state, fasting can actually send your metabolism further from what you want it to be."

"I see a lot of improvements in deep sleep. Deep restorative sleep and REM sleep are some of the improvements that we start seeing when the body gets into this state where we start healing in our sleep."

"I think we've kind of been conditioned over the last few years as women that we've got to be doing these super high-profile jobs and fasting for like 16 to 24 hours a day or even three-day water-only fasts."
