High Performance Health Angela Foster

Angela talks to Maddy Dychtwald, who shares insights from her book "Ageless Aging" focusing on women's health and longevity. They discuss the importance of hormone replacement therapy for brain health, the impact of an anti-inflammatory diet on metabolic health, and the significance of exercise for maintaining muscle mass and balance.

Maddy also delves into skincare and hair health tips, emphasising the benefits of vitamin C and Retin-A products.

KEY TAKEAWAYS


Eating an anti-inflammatory diet, staying hydrated, and avoiding added sugars and alcohol can improve skin and overall health.
Incorporating strength training exercises and balance tests like the Flamingo Test can help prevent falls and maintain physical health as one ages.
Focus on getting quality sleep rather than just quantity, ensuring you wake up feeling refreshed.
Practices like sun exposure in the morning can aid in regulating circadian rhythms.
Consider bio-identical hormone replacement therapy, especially for women experiencing hormonal imbalances during menopause, to support brain health and overall well-being.
CoQ10 can be beneficial for muscle strength and counteracting side effects of certain medications like statins, providing a natural alternative to address health concerns.

BEST MOMENTS

"I've been on this beat of longevity and aging and retirement for, Gosh, close to 40 years. So you do the math, you can figure it out. I'm 74 years old."

"I'm looking at you and I actually can't believe that you just said you're 74 years old because you look so young."

"I think knowledge is power. Having that information is really powerful."

"I find that if I don't drink a lot of water one day or if I've had a little wine, I see it in my skin."

Angela is joined by Mollie Eastman to talk about the importance of aligning our circadian rhythms with our environment and the impact it has on our health. They discuss the seasonal and geographical factors that influence our sleep patterns, referencing health geography and conditions like MS, and explore the concept of "sleep capital" and "social capital" as a way to balance prioritising sleep while also maintaining social connections

KEY TAKEAWAYS


Our bodies are not designed to follow the same circadian alignment throughout the year.
Factors like geographical location and seasonal changes play a significant role in determining our optimal sleep patterns.
Where we choose to reside can have a direct impact on our health and well-being. For example, rates of certain diseases like MS are higher in northern latitude locations compared to closer to the equator locations, possibly due to reduced sunlight exposure and vitamin D connection.
Balancing social interactions and prioritising sleep is crucial. The concept of managing "sleep capital" most of the time but occasionally investing in "social capital" highlights the importance of maintaining a healthy social life while still prioritizing sleep.
Designing an environment conducive to good sleep is essential. This includes ensuring a dark bedroom, minimising exposure to blue light, and creating a relaxing pre-sleep routine to promote the production of melatonin.

BEST MOMENTS

"Our bodies are not designed like that. There are a seasonal nature, but also where we fall geographically on the globe really, really matters."

“An anthropologist anthropologist studied the Hudson tribe and would find, you know, kind of how sleep had been managed in hunter-gatherer tribes."

"So, that might be the time where it's the wedding of the close friend, and you're going to be staying up much later, or friends are going to be coming over and staying with you, so your sleep is going to be a little bit funky during that period."

Angela interviews Dr. Rahul Jandial about the fascinating topic of dreaming from a scientific perspective.

Dr. Jandial, a brain surgeon and neuroscientist, delves into the intricate workings of the brain during sleep and dreaming, exploring the connection between waking life experiences and dream content, and highlighting the importance of understanding the brain's transition between executive and imagination networks.

KEY TAKEAWAYS


The brain needs to dream to stay fine-tuned, imaginative, and maximally adaptive.
It is not just a glitch but a necessary process for the brain to function at its best.
The transitional states of sleep exit and sleep entry are fascinating liminal zones where the brain toggles between executive network function and imaginative network function.
These states can be rich with creative ideas and solutions.
Techniques for inducing lucid dreaming, such as waking up an hour before the usual time and then trying to fall back asleep while maintaining awareness, can increase the chances of experiencing lucid dreams.
Engaging in divergent thinking, which involves creative and imaginative ideation, can lead to fresh ideas and solutions.
This type of thinking is essential for creativity and problem-solving.

BEST MOMENTS

"I believe at some fundamental level that we sleep because we must dream. And that that's the essential feature of the human brain that's taking place during a period we call sleep."

"It's really interesting what you say about divergent focus and just like how you can become more creative and things and tap into that."

"I see dreaming as more of a high-intensity training for the brain, engaging all these different emotions and recesses that wouldn't happen with the routines of our day."

“It’s not physically that we get forced to sleep, the brain will force us to sleep."

In honour of the passing of Dr Michael Mosley, Angela invites you to take a step back in time, to the episode upon which she was joined by Dr Mosley, to discuss his new book, the methods he used to boost brain and BDNF levels, how to remain at optimal health at all times, and and which predictors matter in terms of health.

KEY TAKEAWAYS


People's metabolisms are struggling today far more than ever before, largely due to the increase in junk food and processed foods we are seeing on the marketplace.
Squats can be used as a helpful way to boost your brain and BDNF levels, because of the increase in blood flow caused by this.
The three things you really need to crack in order to remain at optimal health are healthy weight, mindfulness, and exercise. Exercise is truly essential as it helps to optimise muscle mass.
The two greatest predictors of life expectancy are your insulin sensitivity, and the amount of oxygen you can burn when you're really pushing yourself during exercises that test your maximum limits.

BEST MOMENTS

'Unfortunately these kinds of foods are quite alien to us'

'After the age of 30, you will lose up to 10% of muscle mass every decade'

'He's demonstrated cognitive improvement in people who do these particular exercises'

'Make the most of the cold winter!'

Angela talks to Dr. Cate Shanahan about her book "Dark Calories" and the misconceptions surrounding cholesterol, heart health, and the impact of vegetable oils on the body.

Dr. Shanahan emphasises the role of oxidative stress as the root cause of various health issues and explains how vegetable oils contribute to this stress. She delves into the importance of understanding the chemistry behind nutrition, debunking myths about protein consumption, animal products, and the inflammatory effects of dairy

KEY TAKEAWAYS


Oxidative stress is the root cause of many health issues, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and dementia.
It is essential to focus on reducing oxidative stress by avoiding vegetable oils and consuming foods rich in antioxidants.
Dr. Shanahan highlights the harmful effects of vegetable oils, particularly seed oils like corn, canola, cottonseed, soy, sunflower, safflower, rice bran, and grapeseed oil.
These oils are highly processed, lack nutrition, and can deteriorate into toxins, promoting oxidative stress in the body.
It’s vital to understand the link between cholesterol phobia and the rise of vegetable oils in the food supply.
Animal protein does not cause oxidative stress and is essential for building blocks like amino acids needed for various bodily functions.
A balanced intake of animal protein is beneficial and does not inherently lead to inflammation or oxidative stress.

BEST MOMENTS

"The root cause is this state of chemical imbalance called oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is the thing that kills us all."

"People get really, really confused that they don't seem to have a higher protein diet, that it was kind of occasional and this idea that ancestrally we wouldn't have had access and we would have been foraging and occasionally we would have killed an animal."

"The key mistake in what has been envisioned so far is they've decided that LDL particles are just bad and that LDL should not be in our bloodstream."

“Protein does not cause oxidative stress. Now, an imbalance might, like if we're eating so much protein that we don't get other nutrients."

ABOUT THE GUEST

Cate Shanahan, MD, is a board-certified Family Physician and Cornell-trained biochemist. She is standing up to the conflicted health authorities whose unwholesome nutrition advice is making the world sick. Her mission to end chronic disease started in 2002, when she discovered that we’ve all been misled about saturated fat and cholesterol, and began building on the discoveries of experts whose work is being ignored or actively silenced. Her bestselling books have informed a generation of health influencers about the damaging effects of a collection of 8 common seed oils (The Hateful 8) that are the single worst ingredient in the food supply, and the benefits of bone broth, organ meats, fermented foods, and other ancestral health principles. Besides regularly appearing in and writing for national media, she has also worked as director for the Los Angeles Lakers PRO Nutrition program, and currently runs a telehealth practice.

Angela is joined by Roxanne Saffaie to discuss the concept of self-mastery and the journey towards understanding and developing a deep, loving relationship with one's authentic self. The conversation highlights the importance of investing time and energy in cultivating this relationship, emphasising the need to break free from societal programming and connect with one's internal voice

KEY TAKEAWAYS


Self-mastery is a lifelong journey focused on knowing and developing a loving relationship with one's authentic self.
Developing a relationship with oneself is crucial to understanding and overcoming external programming and societal influences.
Journaling is a powerful tool for self-reflection and self-discovery, serving as a portal to one's highest self.
Operating from a place of self-compassion and curiosity rather than self-judgment is essential for personal growth and empowerment.

BEST MOMENTS

"Detoxification is so important now more than ever with the number of toxins we are exposed to daily in our food, water, personal care products and environment."

"I think it's very arrogant for any one of us to think that we just came out and we're supposed to know everything, how to do everything right, how to be perfect, how to do, but for some reason, especially women, there is this hardcore judgment about how we're supposed to just be hitting the mark every single time."

"All we've ever been taught to do is go out there out there out meaning outside of us every answer that you need to create your quote unquote great successful life. You gotta go out there to get it. And I call bullshit on that."
