Bitesize Biohack: Gluten, Glyphosate and Leaky Gut with Dr Stephen Gundry Jun 29, 2023

Show notes

Angela shares a biohack special from her conversation with Dr Stephen Gundry, in which he talks about mitochondrial uncoupling and how it can be a short cut to upgrading your metabolism, plus the effects of glyphosate on a leaky gut, and why gluten itself may only be part of the problem.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Round Up can potentiate a leaky gut. It can turn people who are not gluten sensitive into people who are incredibly sensitive to gluten, plus it can kill of helpful bacteria.
People with measurable leaky guts also carry antibodies to the various forms of gluten, and to non-gluten proteins. When people have sealed their gut, all of these people lose their antibodies to gluten.

BEST MOMENTS

'Round Up can kill off the bacterial species that enjoy eating gluten'

'These people are uncoupling their mitochondria'

Game Changers: Empowering Women and Young Girls in Sport with Former Medalist and GB Rower, Baz Moffat Jun 26, 2023

Show notes

This week, Angela is in conversation with former Team GB rower, Baz Moffat, about how we can support young girls of all ages in sport much more than we currently are.

Women In Sport recently discovered that almost half of all teenage girls end up disengaging with sport due to a lack of support and the pressures of school work, amongst other reasons, and in this show, Baz and Angela talk through ways in which we can stop so many potential sports stars from losing their sporting passions.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

43% of teenage girls who once actively engaged with, and enjoyed sport, are being sidelined in their teenage years, and being made to feel inadequate, compared to just 24% of boys the same age.
Working and training several times a day. Women are not small men, and go through far more in terms of physiological change. Over-stressing the system can be a challenge in itself.
Puberty happens at different ages for different girls. It doesn't all happen at the same time for everyone. Being given the help and time and space to understand their own bodies as they change is vital.
Guidance and support for girls around subjects such as proper sportswear and sanitary products is crucial, and should be done proactively at the beginning of every year, so as to establish support early.

BEST MOMENTS

'There is a complex barrier and some deep-rooted negative attitudes that are affecting girls' enjoyment of sport'

'There wasn't much space for me as an invididual'

'That was the big difference that lottery funding made - you're able to do more rest and recovery'

'Girls need to be given the chance to understand their bodies'

Reverse Your Biological Age - Peptides, Spermidine, NAD, and Other Anti-aging Biohacks Explained with Dr. Neil Paulvin Jun 19, 2023

Show notes

Angela welcomes Dr Neil Paulvin back to the show, to talk about the latest in longevity science and transformational therapies - including biohacks such as spermidine, NAD and peptides - as well as much, much more.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Women need progesterone and oestrogen for muscle building and brain health, cognition, energy and more. Recent research has suggested that delaying menopause may work to serve health in these terms.
The key to longevity and long term health lies in the "Core 4" - sleep, exercise, diet and stress management. Circadian rhythm in particular can markedly affect the immune system.
For women in their forties, the decade in age itself is one of the busiest. Families are being raised if they've had children, career demands are at an all-time high. Energy demands are very high, and hormonal disruption is taking place. Mitochondrial health is crucial.
SS31 was founded by two scientists and hangs on the inner membrane of the mitochondria, and has been found to be a very good antioxidant. It also has been found to have an anti-inflammatory component, and can help with tendonitis.

BEST MOMENTS

'When we look at menopause, it brings with it potential adversities in terms of health'

'Sleep is when we recycle our hormones and increase the number of hormones we need'

'This has the most hallmark checks of any product in the world'

'I do believe in higher doses of both to get the real benefit of it'

Bitesize Biohack - Spermidine, Glycine and Peptides for Longevity Jun 15, 2023

Show notes

Angela shares an invaluable biohack from her upcoming interview with Dr Neil Paulvin, about how you can begin the age-reversal process using peptides, supplements and biohacking techniques.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

In the US, when a product becomes prescription-only,, it becomes banned as a supplement because the dosage can no longer be regulated by the medical sector.
When considering taking Spermidine, you must be aware of any reactions to gluten that you may already experience. As in most cases, it's wise to consult your doctor before embarking on a course of this

The Science and Faith of Resilience - Unlocking the Secrets to Healing and Overcoming Life’s Challenge Jun 12, 2023

Show notes

Angela is joined by Dr Jill Carnahan, a medical and functional medicine doctor, and author of new book ;'Unexpected: Finding Resilience Through Functional Medicine, Science And Faith'.

Dr Carnahan discusses her incredible story of overcoming breast cancer at the age of just 25, the importance of detoxification in today's modern world, and why loving yourself is the key to developing greater resilience.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

If we want to instil the next great generation of healers, then we must start by teaching them to respect their own basic needs of self-care and self-love.
Taking care of ourselves on a daily basis should be a top priority. When we nurture and protect ourselves, that's where healing starts.
Our souls are born with purposes and aims, and we don't always know what they are until we've experienced some kind of suffering or challenge.
If we re-frame challenge as an opportunity for growth, and take the tools we gain along the way, then we can create a deep abiding sense of hope and joy, despite what might be going on outside of us.

BEST MOMENTS

'How do you train a compassionate physician when you are teaching them to deny their basic needs?'

'In one instant I was changed from doctor to patient'

'What does she need from me today?'

'If you can change your lens, then all of a sudden you can have this deep abiding sense of hope'

Become The Hero Of Your Own Story with Simon Alexander Ong Jun 05, 2023

Show notes

In this week's episode, Angela talks to Simon Alexander Ong, a personal development entrepreneur, about how you can live an extraordinary life and become the hero of your own journey by transforming your energy and awakening your imagination to what is truly possible.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

We will always face setbacks and challenges in life. The real measure of how successful we become is how we choose to respond to them.
When we create an amazing life path for ourselves we are actually helping others. We are inspiring them to want to do the same, and thereby better themselves.
When we procrastinate or have lots of time on our hands, we fall into the trap of working. In reality, if we create boundaries, we form habits and work around them, meaning that our time is better utilised.

BEST MOMENTS

'Even the best laid plans can often deviate'

'When we become the hero of our own journey, it doesn't just help us - it actually helps other people'

'Yes it's good to work, but we've got to be careful not to overwork'

'You may not always see it in the moment, but when you look back you'll realise that season gave you exactly what you needed at that moment'

Intermittent Fasting for Women - How to Fast Like a Girl with Dr Mindy Pelz May 29, 2023

Show notes

We all know how to fast, but there are different rules for women and men. In this episode, Angela is joined once more by Dr Mindy Pelz who talks about the specific ways we should be using fasting as a tool, and optimising our longevity, hormone balance and energy levels.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Fasting works because we are tapping into a whole new system of energy generation and metabolism. It's remarkable that it's taken so long for this to become a better known fact.
As oestrogen drops, we become more insulin resistant, which is one of the main reasons why women over forty in particular, must know how to fast effectively.
A twenty four hour fast can kill bacteria in the small intestine. When we reintroduce food, there's less there to agitate and cause bloating.
If you are spotting, then it's a clear sign that progesterone needs your help. Progesterone needs to peak at a certain level in order for the whole uterine lining to shed.

BEST MOMENTS

'You're tapping into a whole other energy system'

'I can't believe we've gone this long in human existence without this conversation'

'Within twenty four hours, the gut can start to repair'

'These are the conversations we need to have'
