High Performance Health Angela Foster

Angela and special guest, Dr Izabella Wentz discuss the importance of removing gluten from the diet, particularly for individuals with leaky gut, celiac disease, Hashimoto's antibodies, and subclinical hypothyroidism.
Dr Wentz shares her clinical experience and personal journey of eliminating gluten and dairy, leading to significant improvements in symptoms such as brain fog, fatigue, weight gain, and digestive issues.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Removing gluten from the diet can have significant benefits for individuals with celiac disease, Hashimoto's antibodies, and subclinical hypothyroidism. Even without celiac disease, many individuals with Hashimoto's report feeling better off gluten, experiencing improvements in symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, weight gain, and digestive issues. Gluten sensitivity may lead to a case of mistaken identity where the body reacts to gluten proteins that cross-react with the thyroid gland, potentially exacerbating thyroid issues. Addressing underlying issues like a protozoal parasite (such as blastocystis hominis) or supporting the body post-pregnancy with specific supplements like carnitine and alfalfa can lead to improvements in food sensitivities and overall health. BEST MOMENTS
"So, in some cases, there might be a case of mistaken identity if the body is reacting to the gluten molecule for whatever reason. It may also react to the thyroid gland."
"I was like, wait a minute, And I was like, where did these ads come from like I'm not bloated. And my reflex went away and the carpal tunnel and the IBS and I was like, holy cow”
"I know quite a lot of people that feel gluten sensitive and this would apply to me, they don't really have any gluten unless it's in sourdough bread."

Angela welcomes Dr. Emily Leeming, a research fellow at King's College London, to discuss the fascinating connection between the gut microbiome and brain health.
Dr. Leeming shares insights on the impact of stress on the microbiome, the importance of fibre and diverse foods for gut health, and the role of omega-3 in mental well-being. They also look at topics such as the production of short-chain fatty acids by gut bacteria, the influence of diet on mental health conditions like depression and ADHD, and the potential benefits of post-biotics.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Eating foods rich in fibre and polyphenols, such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, can support the gut microbiome and brain health. Consuming omega-3 fatty acids from sources like oily fish can help prevent cognitive decline and support mental health. Chronic stress can negatively affect the gut microbiome, leading to inflammation and other health issues. The impact of artificial sweeteners on the gut microbiome is still being researched, with varying results depending on the type and dose. The gut microbiome can produce a wide range of metabolites, emphasising the importance of consuming a diverse range of foods to support gut health. BEST MOMENTS
"So the microbiome really means all the microbes that we're covered in. So we're covered in microbes inside and out."
“That was one of the key things that I took away from the book when I was reading it."
"I think with the research where we know it at the moment in terms of the menopause, with taking soy foods and phytoestrogens is that it's very much on an individual basis."

Angela presents a biohack episode alongside previous guest, Christa Biegler, delving into the intricate relationship between thyroid health and overall hormonal balance, particularly focusing on the ovarian-adrenal-thyroid axis (OAT axis).
They focus on the critical role of adrenal function in hormone production and stress response, highlighting the impact of cortisol on various bodily functions.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Understanding the ovarian adrenal thyroid axis (OAT axis) is crucial as it involves the production of sex hormones, aldosterone, DHEA, and cortisol, which play vital roles in blood pressure, blood sugar, and stress response.
The adrenal glands are essential for hormone production, especially cortisol, the "darling stress hormone," which affects energy levels, blood flow, and overall organ function.
The thyroid is closely linked to metabolism, with symptoms such as fatigue, hair loss, feeling cold, and mental health issues like depression and anxiety indicating potential thyroid dysfunction.
Pregnancy and postpartum periods can increase the demand for thyroid nutrients, leading to more thyroid-related symptoms like sluggish motility, fungal overgrowth, and dry skin.
Recognising and addressing thyroid symptoms is crucial, as they can impact various bodily systems and functions, highlighting the interconnected nature of hormonal health.
BEST MOMENTS
"If you don't have cortisol, you die. It's the most essential. And so that one is almost at the top of the triangle to me."
"I always think your symptoms matter more than your lab results because there's nothing more frustrating to a woman."
"The top thyroid symptoms, which I did not resonate with, I resonated with different ones."
"When you're pregnant and postpartum, your thyroid needs, the nutrients for the thyroid go up dramatically, of course, right?"

Angela welcomes special guest, Karen Martel, to talk about hormones, menopause, and women's health.
Karen and Angela delve into the misconceptions surrounding oestrogen and hormone replacement therapy, emphasising the importance of understanding the benefits of hormone replacement for women's overall health. They also touch on the significance of testosterone and DHEA in women's health, highlighting the potential impact on energy levels, mental health, and sexual well-being.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can be highly beneficial for women going through perimenopause and menopause, providing relief from symptoms and reducing the risk of various health issues. It is important for women to understand that experiencing health issues, such as weight gain or migraines, does not necessarily indicate a lack of effort in maintaining health, as human bodies naturally age and may face challenges despite healthy habits. DHEA supplementation can support adrenal health and energy levels, but it is essential to be cautious with dosages to avoid potential side effects like acne and hair loss. Women should not feel pressured to address every health issue through natural remedies or emotional healing, as sometimes medication or hormone replacement therapy may be the most effective solution. It is crucial for individuals to recognise that not all health trends or treatments, such as psychedelics or specific supplements, are suitable for everyone, and personal health decisions should be made based on individual needs and circumstances. BEST MOMENTS
"Women can find that sex drive is better and sex life is better the older they get."
"I always tell women like, you'll have better orgasms, more satisfactory."
"I did that for like 20 years. I was like, oh, my my freaking dream board isn't good enough."

Angela presents a biohack episode alongside previous guest, Nathalie Niddam, where they discuss various strategies for slowing down the aging process and promoting overall healthspan. They touch on the importance of stress management, quality sleep, nutrition, exercise, and addressing underlying chronic infections and toxins.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Collagen can be beneficial for health, but it's important to maintain a balanced diet with various nutrients to avoid deficiencies. Bioregulator peptides, such as epitalon, have shown potential in slowing down the aging process by restoring form and function to tissues, glands, and organs. Fasting and caloric restriction, when done properly, can stimulate autophagy and have been studied for their effectiveness in slowing down aging. Addressing underlying chronic infections and toxins, such as heavy metals or tick-borne diseases, is crucial for maintaining optimal health and function. Bioregulator peptides like epitalon are available as nutritional supplements and have been shown to have positive effects on hormone balance, sleep, bone density, and immune function. BEST MOMENTS
"I get collagen in all kinds of places... I am a fan of collagen, for sure."
"We have to have a mechanism by which we're restoring function to our tissues, glands, and organs as they naturally wear out."
"Epitalon in studies was shown to normalise melatonin production in elderly adults... It was supportive of a whole bunch of foundational aspects of health."
"The bioregulator peptides are essentially epigenetic switches that flip on genes that signal a tissue, gland, or organ to produce proteins that help to restore form and function."

Angela welcomes Patrick Holford who’s discussing the importance of nourishing and protecting the brain for optimal health and performance.
He delves into the intricate workings of the brain, emphasising the significance of omega-3 DHA, phospholipids, and B vitamins in maintaining brain health. He also highlights the role of homocysteine as a biomarker for various diseases, the impact of B vitamins on methylation, and why he believes the onset of Alzheimers may be something that we can do something about
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The brain is over 60% fat, with omega-3 DHA being a key component that attaches to phospholipids, essential for brain function and structure. Elevated homocysteine levels are linked to a range of conditions, including neurological disorders, heart disease, and cancer, making it a vital marker to monitor for overall health. B vitamins play a crucial role in the methylation process, which is necessary for incorporating omega-3 into the brain. Proper methylation is vital for cognitive function and overall brain health. Understanding how to change behaviours related to diet, lifestyle, and supplementation is crucial for preventing cognitive decline and reducing the risk of various diseases. BEST MOMENTS
"Your brain currently has to be underperforming because you didn't know what it was that you need to optimally nourish your brain."
"The recommendation for children is to eat fish twice a week. Less than 5% of children achieve even that."
"I can't believe it's ignored. It's never on like a standard doctors or even like a pupil health check."
"The single hardest bit is not finding out what is the problem, which we, of course, will do."
