High Performance Health is the podcast for ambitious women in midlife who want to stop sacrificing their health for success. I'm Angela Foster, a former corporate lawyer turned High Performance Health Coach and creator of the BioSyncing® Method. After years in the corporate world, I realised there was no roadmap for women like me. No one was talking about how our biology changes in midlife, or what to do when the strategies that always worked suddenly stopped working. So I went searching for answers, and created this podcast to bring the best conversations together in one place. Every week, I interview world-leading experts and share solo episodes to help you optimise your energy, hormones, metabolism, strength, sleep and longevity, strategies you can apply immediately. Because the future of female performance isn't about pushing harder. It's about building your biological capacity.

    Does HRT Actually Help You Build Muscle And Lose Visceral Fat? - Dr. Federica Amati

    Can HRT actually help women in midlife build muscle and reduce visceral fat — or is lifestyle still doing most of the heavy lifting? In this conversation, Dr. Federica Amati explains what her research found, where HRT may be helpful, and why it should be seen as one tool rather than the main driver of body composition. She also explains why building muscle, eating well, moving regularly and protecting sleep before menopause can create a valuable buffer for later life. And for women already well into menopause, her message is equally important: meaningful change is still possible, but the fundamentals need to be built consistently into everyday life. KEY TAKEAWAYS HRT Is Not a Muscle-Building Shortcut — Dr. Amati says HRT alone will not increase muscle mass or reduce visceral fat. HRT May Still Help Indirectly — Better symptom control and sleep can give women more energy to exercise and move regularly. Lifestyle Remains the Biggest Driver — Exercise, nutrition, sleep and daily movement have a greater impact on muscle, bone and visceral fat. Build Muscle Before Menopause If You Can — Going into menopause with more muscle and strong habits gives you a better starting point. It Is Never Too Late — Women who are years into menopause can still transform their health. Want to go deeper?

    Why Women Over 40 Shouldn't Skip Cardio (Even for Belly Fat) | Dr Alyssa Olenick

    Dr. Alyssa Olenick on why cardio doesn't cause belly fat, what fasted training really does for fat loss, and how women in midlife should balance lifting, cardio and carbs. Exercise physiologist and women's fitness researcher Dr. Alyssa Olenick breaks down the most common training myths aimed at women in midlife. She explains why the cortisol released during exercise is a fuel signal rather than a fat-storage trigger, why the extra fat burned in a fasted session adds up to grams rather than real fat loss, and why fat oxidation drops as estrogen declines in menopause. She also shares how to split 150 minutes of cardio between easy and hard sessions, why cutting volume rather than intensity helps recovery in perimenopause, and how much protein and carbohydrate active women actually need. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN - Why adding cardio reduces, rather than increases, body fat in midlife women - The difference between fat burning and fat loss, and why fasted workouts only shift a few grams - How to fit one or two harder sessions into a busy week and fill the rest with easy movement - Why Dr. Olenick would rather you do two hard sets than five easy ones when recovery gets tougher TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Intro: Why Cardio Isn't Making Women Gain Belly Fat 05:41 - Cortisol, Fasted Training and the Best Time of Day to Work Out 10:42 - Fat Burning vs Fat Loss, Metabolic Flexibility and Refueling After Training 20:54 - Menopause, Fat Oxidation and What HRT Can and Can't Do 24:49 - How to Split 150 Minutes of Cardio Between Easy and Hard Sessions 31:37 - Programming Lifting and HIIT for Recovery: Less Volume, More Intensity 42:54 - Protein, Carbs and a Simple Plan to Start Lifting 52:16 - The Supplements Dr. Olenick Actually Takes  VALUABLE RESOURCES Train With Alyssa: https://www.thelyssmethod.com/ Follow Alyssa on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/doclyssfitness/ Subscribe on her YouTubechannel: https://www.youtube.com/@doclyssfitness Listen to her Podcast: https://doclyssfitness.com/podcast/ Learn more at https://doclyssfitness.com/ A BIG thank you to our sponsor who makes the show possible: 🧬 Stride - Find out your biological age and how your daily habits are influencing it with DNA, bloodwork and microbiome testing with a Stride One membership 👉 https://www.getstride.com/angela/ for 10% off ABOUT THE GUEST Dr. Alyssa Olenick, PhD in Exercise Physiology, specializes in Exercise Science, Metabolism, and Female Physiology, bringing real, research-backed fitness insights to the everyday person looking to train smarter.

    How much protein do you actually need to build muscle? | Eric Helms

    How much protein do you really need to build muscle — and do women in perimenopause or menopause need more? In this conversation, Eric Helms breaks down the evidence behind some of the most common protein recommendations, including the widely quoted 1.6 grams per kilogram of body weight, when higher intakes may be useful, and why your starting point matters more than obsessing over a supposedly perfect number. Eric also explains how protein needs change when you’re dieting and trying to preserve lean mass, why resistance training matters far more than squeezing out the last few percentage points from protein intake, and whether women really need 30–50 grams of protein at every meal to stimulate muscle protein synthesis. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1.6 g/kg Is a Strong Target — For most people trying to build muscle, around 1.6 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight is a very reasonable daily target. More Isn’t Always Better — Benefits continue to diminish as protein intake gets higher. Dieting Changes Your Needs — When in a calorie deficit, moving closer to 2 g/kg may help preserve muscle mass. Your Starting Point Matters — Moving from a low protein intake to a moderate one may produce a bigger benefit than pushing an already high intake even higher. Training Comes First — Progressive, intense resistance training is more important for building muscle than maximising protein intake. Per-Meal Protein Is Often Overcomplicated — Daily protein intake and distributing it across at least three meals matters more than chasing an exact dose at every sitting. 30–40 g Per Meal Can Work Well — If your daily protein target is around 120 grams, splitting it relatively evenly across three meals is a practical approach.

    Dr. Abbie Smith-Ryan: The HIIT Workout Shown to Reduce Visceral Fat in Women

    If you’re a woman in midlife and short on time, HIIT may be one of the most efficient ways to improve metabolic fitness and target visceral fat. In this conversation, Dr. Abbie Smith-Ryan breaks down the exact HIIT protocol her research group uses most often: one minute hard, one minute recovery, repeated for up to 10 rounds. KEY TAKEAWAYS The 1:1 HIIT Protocol — One minute hard followed by one minute recovery is the base model Dr. Smith-Ryan frequently uses in research. Visceral Fat Can Respond Quickly — HIIT has been associated with reductions in visceral fat in as little as three weeks in women with higher levels to begin with. You Don’t Need Long Workouts — Even five intervals can still provide benefit when time is tight. Keep HIIT and Strength Distinct — Combining both into one muddled circuit can compromise the quality of each training stimulus. Do Your Priority First — If strength is the goal, lift first; if cardiovascular adaptation is the priority, do HIIT first. Heavy Resistance Can Be Time-Efficient — Dr. Abbie describes a 30-minute protocol using 6–8 rep loads and short rest periods. The Norwegian 4x4 Works Too — Longer intervals are effective, but one-minute bouts may be easier to execute consistently in midlife. Want to go deeper?

    A biological Age of 21 at 59: The Daily Longevity Routine (Coffee to Dessert) Leslie Kenny Follows to Stay Young

    At 59, Leslie Kenny says she has achieved a biological age of 21. In this episode, she takes us inside the simple daily habits she uses to support longevity, brain health, metabolic health and healthy ageing — starting with exactly what goes into her morning coffee. Leslie shares why she adds collagen, MCTs and raw cacao to her coffee, why she’s shifting towards a bigger lunch and lighter dinner for better sleep, and some of the foods she prioritises for spermidine, protein and omega-3s. She also reveals a simple trick with rice that may increase resistant starch and change its metabolic impact. KEY TAKEAWAYS Upgrade Your Morning Coffee — Leslie adds collagen, MCTs and raw cacao to build more into her morning routine. Coffee & Autophagy — She explains why chlorogenic acid in both regular and decaf coffee may support autophagy. Fuel Your Brain — Leslie uses coconut-derived MCTs as part of her morning routine. Eat More Earlier — A bigger lunch and lighter dinner may help prevent going to bed overly full or hungry. Add More Legumes — Peas and other legumes provide plant protein and are dietary sources of spermidine. Pair Protein With Omega-3s — Leslie highlights wild salmon and peas as a nutrient-dense combination. Cool Your Rice — Cooling cooked rice and reheating it can increase resistant starch.

    Fat Burning Is Not Fat Loss: Dr. Abbie Smith-Ryan on Muscle, Fat Loss and Fasted Training for Women 40+

    Dr. Abbie Smith-Ryan explains how muscle quality changes in perimenopause and how HIIT, heavy lifting and protein timing help women over 40 train smarter. In perimenopause, muscle can shift from a lean "filet" toward a "rib eye," with more fat and connective tissue inside it, and a DEXA or InBody can't detect it. Dr. Abbie Smith-Ryan explains why heavier, higher power training recruits the type 2 fibers that fade with age, how 1 minute on, 1 minute off HIIT appears to reduce visceral fat in as little as three weeks, why fat burning is not fat loss, and when about 20g of protein before training helps. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Why muscle quality, not just muscle size, may change first in perimenopause How 1 minute on, 1 minute off HIIT targets visceral fat in midlife women Why fat burning during zone 2 is not the same as fat loss When training fasted costs you results, and when it does not TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Intro: Muscle Quality in Perimenopause and Why a DEXA Can't Measure It 06:31 - How to Train for Muscle Quality After 40: Heavy Load, Power and Type 2 Fibers 10:13 - HIIT and Visceral Fat in Midlife Women: The 1 Minute On, 1 Minute Off Protocol 16:01 - The 30 Minute Heavy Lifting Protocol, the Norwegian 4x4 and Where Zone 2 Fits 25:38 - Fasted vs Fed Training for Women 40+: Protein Before or After Exercise 37:58 - Losing Leg and Glute Definition, HRT and Why Your Symptoms Are Valid 44:28 - Fiber, Omega-3s and Creatine Dosing for Muscle and Brain in Perimenopause 54:05 - Perimenopause Is a Metabolic Transition: Final Advice VALUABLE RESOURCES Effects of high-intensity interval training on cardiometabolic risk factors in overweight/obese women, Journal of Sports Sciences (Smith-Ryan et al.
