    High Performance Health

    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.

    Latest Episodes:
    Being You is Always Good Enough – Tatiana Kassessinoff Clinical Hypnotherapist, Transformational therapist & host of the ‘London Heal Podcast’ Apr 23, 2020
    Show notes

    Tatiana Kassessinoff is the host of the ‘London Heal Podcast’, Clinical Hypnotherapist, Advanced RTT Practitioner and Transformational therapist and in this episode, she is discussing with Angela the fear and anxiety that many are experiencing in these very unsettled times and how meditation and affirmations along with trust in our human nature can change things for anyone.

    They discuss the science behind the emotions and how we all initially create limiting beliefs and how if you want to you can change your life. Because it is not what happens to you it’s the meaning you attach to what happens and this is dependent on your state of mind. Tatiana shares great insights into the importance of self-love and how you can positively change how you interact with the world, listen in and hear more.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Fear and anxiety - It’s important to understand what fear and anxiety are and that it’s fine to experience these feelings. Fear is a survival program that is with us from early childhood. There are many techniques that you can practice to lower your levels of stress along with trust in your human nature, as we are highly adaptable creatures.

    Breathing is a great way into the parasympathetic system. Engage in any rhythmic breathing technique where the inhale breathe is shorter than the exhale as this will lower anxiety.

    • Limiting beliefs - Early beliefs are formed as a result of your experience and in adaptation to your environment. A lot of what you think is you isn’t it’s a result of your programming, but it can be changed.

    Any belief is a habit of thinking and you need to get to your unconscious mind if you want to make a change.

    • Meditation - When you are relaxed you are open to the possibilities and your perception is raised. Manifestation is putting yourself in the position where it could happen and being in a receptive state along with being in an intuitive place.

    It’s not what happens to you it’s the meaning you attach to what happens and this is dependent on your state of mind. You can only attach good meanings to the events in your life when you are in a relaxed and rested state.

    • Self-love and self-care - You know more about exactly what you are doing than anyone else. We need to reinforce self-love and self-care and know that being as you are is good enough.

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘We are not practising social distancing we are practising physical distancing’

    ‘It’s important for children to understand they have possibilities’

    ‘I love meditation, it’s my go-to for everything’

    How to treat Coronavirus with Dr Tamsin Lewis, Founder of Wellgevity Apr 16, 2020
    Show notes

    Angela is in conversation with Dr. Tamsin Lewis, medical doctor, former GB elite triathlete and founder of Wellgevity. They discuss how we can all be advocates for our own health and work with medical professionals to co-create positive ‘healthspan’ and a more intuitive sense of self.

    Being heard and having someone to co-create your ‘healthspan’ is all about asking ‘How do we affect the physiology to affect the psychology? because our perceived view of self, our purpose and connectedness to others is key.

    Listen in and hear about not only your ‘healthspan’ but the experience that Dr. Lewis has had with COVID19 and what you can do to be better prepared for a virus that can affect anyone and be different for everyone.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Developing psychological well-being and an intuitive sense of self is key in ‘healthspan’. It is not a generic ‘one size fits all’ and data analysis is a vital part of understanding what is affecting you and what makes a difference.
    • How do we affect the physiology to affect the psychology?
    • The filter on your world is dependent on your biochemistry and the dynamic interplay with others on a day to day basis.
    • From an ancestral perspective, humans evolved with periods of stress followed by periods of downtime; in the world today we want to achieve optimum work all of the time. As humans, we go through periods of flux and we need to be more attune to this.
    • Women have fluctuating hormone variations on a monthly basis whilst the majority of men have relatively consistent levels of testosterone. So men have far more stability. Our hormones and the variances play a huge part in how we feel and function.

    Coronavirus

    • The effects of this virus are unpredictable it has widespread effects that are different for different people. The widespread post-viral syndrome is extraordinary and we don’t know how long it last
    • No one is immune from getting this so following the advice issued, wearing a saturation monitor, having adequate supplies of paracetamol and taking good doses of fish oil are actions everyone can implement.
    • It’s an illness that is very unknown and affects people in different ways and with so many variables it’s important to not to mega dose on any single supplement.
    • The virus sits around and can reactivate affecting your immune system and triggering inflammation and blood glucose level fluctuation that can take an extended time to recover from.

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘You can help yourself by wearing an oxygen saturation monitor and if it drops below 96, call someone’

    ‘We are all reaching out for some security and the issue is that there isn’t any available’

    ‘If you are going out you should be wearing a mask and wearing gloves because we know the most likely way this virus is shedding is through droplets’

    How to Biohack Your Sleep with Dr Jay Khorsandi Apr 09, 2020
    Show notes

    There are 3 pillars of health; movement, nutrition and sleep. In this episode, Angela is in conversation with Dr Jay Khorsandi Sleep Expert, Bio Hacker and host of ‘The Best Night Ever! Podcast.

    They look at the differences between sleep apnoea and snoring and how they can be treated and discuss the bio hacks that Dr Jay Khorsandi uses to optimise his own sleep.

    There are many elements that play a part in good sleep health including nutrition movement and lifestyle.

    Angela and Dr Jay discuss the research and what makes a difference including grounding, supplements and infrared light, as someone who has completely optimised his own sleep Dr Jay is someone who knows what works and why and this is a great opportunity to hear him share his knowledge, listen in and enjoy.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • There is a big difference between sleep apnoea and snoring. Snoring is a result of the body and its muscles relaxing whilst sleep apnoea is when you repeatedly stop and start breathing during your sleep.
    • Ideal sleep architecture is Initial deep sleep in 90-minute cycles moving towards REM sleep later in the pattern.
    • How well you sleep at night starts with the routine of the morning before. When you wake you should get outside and look at the blue of the sky. During a sunrise, there is a high amount of infrared and you will benefit from the full spectrum if you are able to watch this.
    • When we are sleeping the body is resting, rejuvenating and you need to give it the resources to do this. You need to have the right amount of sleep and the right quality. The 2 things that regulate our sleep the most are temperature and light.
    • Earthing - As we go about the day we build up a positive charge in static electricity and we need to get rid of this because a build-up over time can cause inflammation and disease.
    • The digital world means more EMF so it’s important to find ways to mitigate the effects and 20 minutes grounding each day with as much skin exposure is a good way to achieve this.
    • There are 3 pillars of health movement, nutrition and sleep and if you can get these 3 in sync the chances of developing any chronic disease is decreased.

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘We have a set of rules in our DNA but we can change them through our actions and behaviours’

    ‘The more you can connect to the earth the more you can get grounded’

    ‘If you are using red light therapy you need to achieve a balance that optimises your sleep’

    What's the best type of exercise, is there such a thing as too much exercise and does it enhance or lower immunity? Apr 02, 2020
    Show notes

    Darryl Edwards is back for a second time with Angela, talking about the vital role of movement at a time whereas a result of COVID19 we are all staying at home. It’s easy to adopt a very sedentary lifestyle at this time but exercise and movement are beneficial on many levels – physical and psychological. It is also recognised that movement plays a role in effective support of immune function, so this is the time to get started and make sure movement and exercise are part of your daily routine.

    As a movement coach and author of the best-selling book ‘Animal Moves’ Darryl has extensive knowledge and shares some great advice and practical tips on how to get started and create a varied movement routine that you love and will make the difference.

    There has never been a more important time to get moving to stay healthy listen in and hear how you can get started now.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • There are a whole range of movement activities, limited only by your imagination, that you can do in your home.
    • It’s important to enjoy your lifestyle and exercise so having a range of opportunities for movement is key.
    • To maintain good health, it’s important to do a range of different movements, working like this will build endurance and resilience.
    • If you are significantly deconditioned anything you do when you begin to exercise will be high intensity for your body.
    • High-Intensity Interval Training increases bone and tissue strength making you more robust and resilient overall.
    • High-intensity exercise produces more killer cell counts than moderate-intensity exercise
    • Post HITT activity, the higher natural killer cell count means the body is more primed to find cells that are affected by viruses.
    • It’s important to be aware of how intensity can make you more immunologically healthy.
    • It’s about learning what you are capable of doing and making sure your movement program is varied and broad.
    • Whatever activities you choose to do you need to focus on completing exercise that encompasses the full spectrum of movement intensity.
    • The most powerful of movements are those three-dimensional movements that involve the transverse plane and having this type of work included in your routine is vital.
    • When you are learning a new movement pattern it significantly increases BDNF once you have control of a movement pattern you have much less BDNF so it’s important to try new things all the time.
    • Movement is not an easy choice in a sedentary society but now is a great time to get started.

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘The most mindful I can be is when I’m as focused as I can be’

    ‘People need to experience different movement patterns to understand why it’s so important for the brain and the body’

    ‘Dancing is important, it’s great for cognitive benefits and reduces cognitive decline - it’s therapeutically used with early-onset Alzheimer’s.

    Functional Medicine - The Way Medicine Should Be - Interview with Sachin Patel, Founder of The Living Proof Institute Mar 27, 2020
    Show notes

    ‘The simple things you do make all the difference’

    In this fascinating interview, Angela is in conversation with Sachin Patel founder of The Living Proof Institute – an online functional medicine practice bringing practitioners and patients together across the globe.

    Sachin is also a specialist in teaching health care providers how to leverage their businesses successfully online and shares some great advice and links to access extensive expertise in this episode.

    He originally trained as a chiropractor, with the philosophy that our innate potential intelligence is what causes the healing processes in our body and has taken this philosophy into functional medicine where he has been hugely successful in his mission to teach people health restoration and how to optimise with a multi-faceted approach to health and vitality.

    There is someone thing for everyone in this inspiring podcast, listen in and make a change now.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Functional medicine is personalised healthcare that identifies and treats the root cause because sometimes the root cause can be very far removed from the symptoms.
    • Men and women are designed differently and there are a number of things that have to be individualised for them.
    • It’s patient empowered medicine where the practitioner and patient work together on the solution.
    • The philosophy is to teach you how to be healthy so you can teach your children and grandchildren how to be healthy.
    • Functional medicine is everything that people want and is the only healthcare that provides a complete solution.
    • Traditional medicine seeks to match the complexity of the human body but the greatest sign of sophistication is simplicity.
    • The body is very sophisticated so treatment of it can be very simplistic and be very effective.
    • The simpler your strategies the more you can leverage the principles of nature.
    • Every animal in the world lives in a rhythmic pattern with its circadian rhythm except humans, who are the sickest animals on the planet.
    • Sleep is the most powerful tool you have at your disposal along with the multiple dimensions of food.
    • We should be eating what feels right to us and our genetics. Food types and intake plays a huge role in our health as food interacts with our bodies, our genetics mean this is interaction is different for every individual.
    • You can never fix one system at a time you can only fix every system together.
    • To heal and use the resources you supply the body with effectively your body needs to be in a parasympathetic state.
    • The more parasympathetic you can get, the better you can do everything.
    • The mind is very important in your perspective and in influencing the outcomes you create
    • The human mind is the most important thing in the world, it’s not just about what you put into your mouth, but also what goes in through your ears and your eyes because this is what shapes your reality.
    • You are the creator of your own realities, so if you are stressed you create more stress to prove your mind right.
    • You are the ultimate creator of your own destiny and now is the time to do all the work you need to do, to remove all the excuses you have had and to leverage this opportunity to become the best versions of yourself.

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘When I explain functional medicine, people say isn’t that how medicine should be?’

    It’s all about creating a generation of healthy people who are not dependant on the health service’

    ‘Our perception of reality is deterministic in whether we are going to be more parasympathetic or whether we are going to be sympathetic dominant, it’s all do with our mindset’

    Embrace the Journey – with Jason Priest Mar 20, 2020
    Show notes

    Today’s guest is Jason Priest, host and creator of the Dad Bod Pod.

    Originally a registered nurse, Jason subsequently became a health and performance coach, and has since been busy transforming the lives of many entrepreneurs.

    But the journey hasn’t always been a smooth one. In this episode, Jason talks to Angela about the sometimes rocky road that got him there, how his life philosophies and lessons learned have shaped the mentor that he has become, and methods he uses to deliver sustainable health results.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Jason grew up in a troubled home, and endured an uneven childhood. After seizing control of his life, Jason determined to turn his life around by going to nursing school.
    • At the age of 23, Jason began work in the ICU of a hospital, which had benefits and drawbacks. Emotionally, he was not as mature, and so was better able to deal with the things he experienced.
    • Seeing the effects of ill-health up close, Jason has since made it his mission to do all he can to help alleviate the obesity epidemic in America, and around the world.
    • When we become overweight, our health issues are compounded by the unhappiness we feel. This can make finding an effective strategy very difficult.
    • Because of society’s tendency towards instant gratification, many can feel discouraged when attempting to repair their health, and don’t find instant success. The benefits and gains always come in long-term wins.
    • Diets are a short term fix for a long term solution. Jason’s approach is through sustainable solutions that deliver a more realistic approach and outcome.
    • Keeping a gratitude journal can be a great stress-reliever. By focussing only on the positive things in our lives, we reduce our negativity, and add to our fulfilment.
    • There are so many strength exercises that can be performed throughout the day, even at home, from body-weight squats to wall-sits, that will give you and intense, invaluable workout with long lasting effects.
    • The more lean muscle mass you have, the more calories you burn at rest. When you add that mass to your frame, you’re not only giving yourself the ability to reach your goals more swiftly, but adding to your bone strength.
    • Jason’s programme to add positivity to your sleep is:
      • Get to sleep at the same time every night
      • Determine your day’s five wins, no matter how small they may seem
      • Choose five people who made the biggest impact to your day
      • When you wake up, pick five things you’re grateful for
    • Three meals a day, seven days a week, means that you have twenty-one weekly opportunities to do some good for your body.
    • In order to avoid self-sabotage, we need to embrace the journey and realise that the body doesn’t always behave the way that our mind expects

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘We all have a story’

    ‘I got sick and tired of being sick and tired’

    ‘I hate the word “diet”’

    ‘It’s about “crowding out” the bad habits’

    ‘You can’t go to the gym twice a month and get results’

    ‘Some of life’s most elementary things are the most powerful things’

    ‘There’s a reason why, and that reason might change’

    ‘Food is fuel, and we need to treat it that way’

    ‘Action creates motivation, not the other way around’

    ‘Motivation isn’t going to show up on your doorstep in an Amazon Prime box’

    Enhancing Immunity Mar 13, 2020
    Show notes

    Angela shares the best tips for enhancing immunity from flu and the coronavirus, offering advice that goes beyond the usual tips about effective hand washing. She explains the vital importance of lower oxidative stress on the body and the role-specific vitamins and minerals play in health optimisation.

    This episode is about practical ways you and your family can enhance your immunity so if you are unlucky enough to be exposed to the coronavirus your body and its immune system will be functioning at an optimum level through a nutrient density diet.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    1. Eat antioxidant foods to improve your antioxidant status - Look for brighter coloured fruits and vegetables as these are high in antioxidants.
    2. Ensure you have adequate vitamin D levels - It plays a key role in supporting the correct balance of the immune system. To optimise vitamin D levels, you need to expose yourself to sufficient sunlight or use a supplement.
    3. Make sure you are getting enough zinc - This is important for immunity and is required for the function of over 300 enzymes and more than a 1000 transcription factors( the proteins that regulate our gene function).
    4. Take high dose vitamin C - In an infection, the reserves of vitamin C are used up very quickly so taking large doses when the symptoms appear can ensure vitamin C levels are maintained.
    5. Sustain the correct level of selenium through diet – Eating around 4 brazil nuts each day will meet your daily needs.
    6. Make sure you get enough nitric oxide – this is a key signalling molecule between cells and can help to fight against some infections. Include foods such as leafy greens, which can help enhance nitrite oxide production.
    7. Lactoferrins have been shown to protect against viral infections - Buy lactoferrins supplements in a base of colostrum, also key in enhancing gut health.
    8. Make sure you are getting enough collagen – it is an essential building block in immune function. Collagen is an easy supplement to take and can easily be added to drinks as its odourless and tasteless
    9. Mushrooms – certain types of medicinal mushrooms have been shown to enhance immunity stimulating the production of macrophages.
    10. Use immune boosters in the form of raw honey and bee pollen - Honey is an effective treatment for coughs and bee pollen is considered to be one of the most nutrient-dense foods in nature.
    11. Include organ meats, teas, allium vegetables in your diet – these foods will all aid the body’s immune system.
    12. Look after your gut health to increase your immune system - ¾ of your immune system resides in your gut so looking after your gut health is key to overall health.

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘Limit the amount of oxidative stress your body is under and enhance your immune system by not smoking, limiting alcohol consumption and avoiding highly processed foods’

    ‘It is difficult to get enough vitamin D from diet alone’

    ‘If you experience flu or coronavirus zinc would be one of the first supplements to begin taking’

    Show notes

    In response to 2 recent episodes that have been extremely popular Angela is bringing together the information from her guests Dr Amy Killen and CEO of Red Light Rising James Strong about the benefits of red light and near red light therapy

    She discusses the effects of red light therapy on skin health and hair growth and the profound impact red light therapy has on cellulite – estimated to affect 90% of women.

    This is an informative episode that brings together pertinent information about both the benefits and the most effective protocol to put in place for red light therapy at home.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    Skin

    • Red light therapy causes the mitochondria in your cells to be able to make more ATP
    • It benefits your hair and skin and can be part of your routine at home
    • It will improve the texture, tone and brightness of your skin over time.
    • Red light and near red light therapy helps to build the mitochondria in our cells which can then produce more energy, decrease inflammation, help to build the cell defences and increase resilience.
    • Red light therapy is a non-invasive and effective way to rejuvenate the skin and help slow the process of ageing.
    • It stimulates both collagen and elastin production and reduces the appearance of fine lines, scarring and veins.
    • Red light therapy has been shown to lessen the signs of damage to the skin including sun damage and that of UV light, reduces wrinkles and enhances the production of collagen

    Using red light to enhance skin health

    • When you are standing in front of the light and have full body coverage a treatment time of 15 minutes is the optimum time to enhance skin health.
    • The farther away you are (50 to 100cm) the longer the treatment time required.
    • Consistency is very important you should use the light a minimum of 3 times a week with the optimum being 5 to 6 times a week for 15 minutes
    • The red light encourages nutrient delivery to the area where the light is shining
    • Using a derma roller and red light together is a positive and effective protocol to have in place.

    Cellulite

    • Red light therapy has been shown to have a profound effect on cellulite
    • Red light therapy combats cellulite in 3 different ways:
    • Bolsters the production of collagen and elastin and support the fibrous support network that surrounds the cells.
    • Improves blood circulation and blood vessel health in the area
    • Causes fat cells to release their fat into the blood which can then be burnt off.

    Hair growth

    • Red light can be used to enhance hair growth and has also been shown to help with the regrowth of hair.
    • Red light therapy helps hair stay in the growth phase.
    • The more direct the light to your head the better.
    • It enhances energy within the hair cells and it prolongs hair life cycles, it promotes your hair to grow more quickly.
    • For hair, there have been several studies that show red light therapy is effective in slowing hair loss and promoting hair growth.
    • The red light needs to be able to get to the scalp to make a difference.
    • Using it consistently is the key to achieving the optimum results.

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘I do a meditation with the red light on my face – it’s one of my favourite things’

    ‘It’s upsetting for women when they lose their hair’

    ‘Within days you will notice the difference in your skin and in 2 weeks you will see younger-looking skin’

    ‘Putting vitamin treatments onto the skin prior to the red light therapy will enhance further the positive effects’

    How to Optimise Sleep and Find the Right Rhythm for You Feb 21, 2020
    Show notes

    ‘If you are relaxed and ready for sleep you are increasing your chances of effective sleep’

    Angela is with Dr Greg Potter PhD who is a specialist in sleep and nutrition optimisation.

    He is passionate about finding solutions for those experience sleep fragmentation and sleep deprivation and in this fascinating episode packed with useful content explains how sleep patterns are established and the factors that impact on the type and duration of sleep individuals achieve.

    They discuss in detail the importance of a good pre-sleep routine and understanding whether you are a night owl or early bird, listen in and learn.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Most people understand that it’s important to be exposed to high-intensity light during the day and that regular exercise impacts on how quickly you fall asleep.
    • A sleep diary can be an effective way of tracking sleep patterns to identify issues and bedtime restriction therapy can be used to improve sleep efficiency.
    • In a healthy person cortisol peaks in the day and declines in preparation for sleep.
    • It’s vital to have a good pre-sleep routine and undertake activities that help quieten the mind.
    • Before you wake there should be a spike in cortisol, it is part of a rhythmic process that is preparing your body to be able to cope with the activities of the day
    • People who are not in optimal health experience lower amounts of cortisol in preparation for the day and a higher level at night-time which impacts on sleep.
    • If you are an A-type personality research has shown making a detailed ‘to do’ list in preparation for the next day can aid restful sleep.
    • Different chronotypes such as night owls and early birds respond in different ways to the stimulus that impact on circadian rhythms.
    • If a couple are differing types, and it is extreme, a sleep divorce – where you sleep in a different bed to your partner may be the solution.
    • It’s vital to look for a solution that is manageable for both partners as sleep deprivation and disrupted sleep have a huge impact on people’s daily lives
    • There is not a one size fits all for sleep duration and it changes during your life span.
    • The amount you need, as an individual change, continually but when you extend and improve your sleep then you will improve cognitive function.
    • When co-ordinating sleep timing its vital to understand the different timing constructs.
    • The social clock -the timing of the day
    • The environmental clock – the earth about its axis
    • The biological clocks – that bring the changes to rhythms in our biology
    • People differ in the timing of these clocks and this manifests itself as differences in chronotype.
    • During the biological night time, your body is synthesising melatonin during daytime the amount of melatonin produced is almost zero and you are ready for activity.

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘Adolescents naturally shift to a later wake time and research has shown that later school start times would have a huge and positive impact not only on adolescents but on wider society’

    ‘Physical activity is a key driver for anyone wanting to achieve optimum sleep’

    ‘You can’t oversleep you can only sleep as much as you need’

This is a fascinating episode listen in and find out more.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • The lights are all focused on 2 particular wavelengths - 660 and 850 nanometres - these are the wavelengths proven to stimulate the most mitochondrial
    • The red light penetrates around 1.5cm into your skin and the near-infrared penetrates around 5 cm into your body allowing your muscles and organs to benefit.
    • Red light therapy has been extensively studied and the benefits are well documented.
    • If you are trying to establish your circadian rhythm then using the light at sunrise and sunset is preferable as it will increase your circadian marker.
    • Using a red light in the environment around your computer will compensate for the blue light of the device.
    • For skin health consistent sessions will promote collagen synthesis and encourages blood flow bringing nutrient delivery – the skin will rejuvenate more quickly.
    • There are benefits for hair as the light enhances the energy around the scalp prolonging the life of individual hairs and promotes the growth of more hair follicles resulting in thicker hair and more hair on the scalp.
    • Red light can enhance testosterone production if used consistently and for females there are enhanced benefits for fertility.
    • Sleep – latency and deep sleep can be improved through the use of red light and good light hygiene.
    • The enhanced cellular energy and collagen synthesis fibroblast formation as a result of red-light usage enhance the body recovery protocol.
    • It’s easy to train hard one day, it’s about being able to recover to be able to train hard the next day and consistent use of red light can make the difference in recovery and maintaining a training schedule successfully.
