Bitesize Biohack Episode - Overcoming Oestrogen Dominance Aug 19, 2022

Show notes

In the SHIFT protocol, ‘H’ is for hormones and in this bitesize episode Angela looks at the sex hormones beginning with oestrogen

If there is an oestrogen dominance you need to understand why before you make changes and when you are looking at hormonal support and lifestyle you need to work with a practitioner and test first to have the information needed to effectively balance and optimise

Angela explains the ways in which oestrogen impacts the body and why to have a successful transition into menopause good adrenal function is key along with advice about what you can do to effectively boost your oestrogen levels

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Oestrogen is made in the ovaries and synthesized from the hormone DHEA
After menopause, the ovaries stop producing oestrogen and the production is taken over by the adrenal glands
Insulin sensitivity and blood glucose management make a huge difference
Oestradiol is the major oestrogen produced by the ovaries in your cycling years, Post menopause it’s derived from testosterone via aromatization
The Dutch test means you can see what pathway your oestrogen is going down
Including flax seeds in your diet will naturally boost oestrogen levels and seed cycling can help promote the production of oestrogen and progesterone
If you are perimenopausal you can follow the moon cycle

BEST MOMENTS

‘Oestradiol is the strongest and most active form of oestrogen in the body and can be converted into both E1 and E3’

‘A combination of hormone therapy alongside lifestyle changes can really help’

‘There are a lot of oestrogen disruptors in the environment’

Heal Your Gut & Optimise Your Metabolism Part 2 with Dr Will Bulsiewicz Aug 09, 2022

Show notes

Dr Will Bulsiewicz returns to discuss more on how to optimise your metabolism and explains the crucial role your gut microbiome plays in achieving balance

Both fat and blood sugar play significant roles and they are interconnected and how our microbiome interacts with our diet is key with fibre vital in supporting a healthy microbiome

You can rebalance and reset your microbiome and Dr Will has great advice on how you can take individualised action right now to make a positive difference to your gut health and metabolism

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Insulin resistance is pre-diabetes, when you reach a point where your pancreas is producing as much insulin as possible and not able to achieve balance you have type 2 diabetes
Lipotoxicity is the free fatty acids in the body blocking the path of the blood sugar into the tissues
Carbohydrates are interconnected with insulin resistance and play a role in the imbalance
The level of the free fat in the blood that translates ultimately into insulin resistance
When the fat cells are full the fat moves into the bloodstream
Mechanisms for getting free fat include obesity and diet
We believe that of the 8 billion people on the planet no two microbiomes are the same
This unique individuality explains our very individual response to food, one size doesn’t fit all
Specific foods react differently with different people's microbiomes
Trans fats and saturated fats drive up free fatty acids and predispose us to insulin resistance
The omega 6’s saturates the receptors, that are allowing us to make the conversion away from ALA and other forms of omega 3
Sustainability has to be part of the conversation and oysters could be part of the solution

BEST MOMENTS

‘There is an explosion of insulin resistance-related conditions right now in both adults and kids’

‘The microbiome is centrally evolved in the equation’

‘There are different components that can drive up free fat

4-Hour Work Weeks, Flow States & Quality Family Time with Ashao Freesky Aug 01, 2022

Show notes

Ashao Freesky is passionate about helping parent-preneurs create more time and reclaim magic moments with their family as they build their businesses

He talks with Angela about some of the ways you can effectively change your work pattern and be focused and present for activities and time throughout your day when you have the right mindset

When you plan, schedule and are intentional with your attention time can be more productive and you claim back time to spend with your family, listen in and hear Ashao’s invaluable advice

KEY TAKEAWAYS

We are energy-based beings and when we deplete our energy, time becomes depleted because of our lack of energy
Time without energy and attention is meaningless
Being intentional about time and not fracturing it, giving yourself time for renewal is crucial
Context switching brings a new set of rules that you need to reorientate yourself to and attention residue happens when you continually switch from one task to another
It’s being intentional about how you structure your day and schedule activities
When you have scheduled a time for each activity it means you can be focused, intentional and present for the task you are working on
The concept of diminishing and negative returns means more time can lead to less output because of your depletion of energy
You can start small with any new behaviour and build a habit that can grow
When you have larger amounts of time that are not fractured you can achieve more
I plan my week to include maker time and manager time, maker time is high-value deep work time and manager time is communication and meetings that support the high-value work
Making sure you get an adequate amount of sleep is crucial along with movement throughout the day as this keeps your energy high

BEST MOMENTS

‘It starts with having the right mindset’

‘I like to front load my day with the most important tasks’

‘I’ve learned to flow more in the middle and start the day with a chunk of time for myself’

‘You are going to build your business by creating a team and not thinking you have to do it all yourself’

Bitesize Biohacks: How to Stress Less & Lose Body Fat Faster Jul 22, 2022

Show notes

Dr Libby Weaver, nutritional biochemist really understands how stress impacts women’s hormonal balances and in this bitesize episode, she explains the link between elevated levels of cortisol and the storage of abdominal and upper back fat.

This is a great opportunity to hear how when you tune into yourself and use restorative practices you can change how your body responds

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The pattern of adrenalin production today leads to inflammatory compounds in the body
We naturally produce effective anti-inflammatory substances and one of these is cortisol
We only produce cortisol as a response to long-term stress and one of the roles of cortisol is to slow down the body’s metabolism
One of the aspects of burnout is very low cortisol levels loss of anti-inflammatory protection
Our actions and behaviours are driven by our beliefs
It’s about whether the message is to burn fat or store fat
When you breathe diaphragmatically you are signalling to the body that you are safe

BEST MOMENTS

‘There are little things across the day that lead to adrenalin going up and up

‘Cortisol thickens you around your torso because this is where your most

important organs are’

‘Your body has extraordinary wisdom but it is responding to the information you give it’
