Show notes

Angela presents a special compilation episode, dedicated to exploring the critical role of skeletal muscle health, mastering fat loss, metabolism and blood sugar in optimising longevity and metabolic resilience.

Featuring insights from experts Matt Gallant and Wade Lightheart, Danielle Hamilton and Barielle Lyon, the discussion covers the science behind metabolic flexibility, reverse dieting, and the common pitfalls of traditional fat loss approaches.

Dr Sara Gottfried - https://www.saragottfriedmd.com/

ABOUT THE GUEST

Sara Gottfried MD, is a scientist, researcher, Harvard – educated medical doctor with 25 years of experience, and author of four New York Times bestselling books.

Through her practise, Dr Gottfried treats people with a host of conditions, and educates about hormone balance, metabolic health and the interaction between food and your metabolism.

From the Harvard and MIT-educated physician, and New York Times bestselling author of The Hormone Cure, The Hormone Reset Diet and Younger, comes a brand new book on the impact of trauma on your body and immune system – and what you can do to heal.

Up to 80 per cent of patients with autoimmune disease experienced significant emotional distress before getting sick. In other words, trauma and autoimmune disease are intimately linked, and Dr Gottfried shows us how.

A leading voice in the autoimmune and women’s health space, Dr Gottfried’s insights into the gut, women’s health and hormones, and trauma as it pertains to autoimmune illness is essential reading

Conventional medicine falls short when it comes to both diagnosing and treating autoimmune disease. Many people suffer from mysterious symptoms like severe fatigue, brain fog, aches and pains, feelings of tingling and numbness, stubborn weight gain, abdominal pain, digestive problems, hair loss, insomnia, and even anxiety, and don't realize their immune system is at the root of their symptoms. In her precision medicine practice, Dr Gottfried noticed a seemingly unusual pattern: many of her patients who suffer from autoimmune disease and symptoms have a history of trauma. Dr Gottfried has created a powerful programme designed to break the vicious cycle of autoimmune disease, reset your immune system and restore your health, with advice on diet, sleep, supplements, breathwork, microbiome restoration, somatic therapy and much more.
