  • Bitesize Biohack 3 Ways to Burn More Fat!
    Apr 17 2025
    What if the secret to burning more fat wasn’t a fancy diet or punishing workout, but a few simple daily upgrades you could start today? In this solo Bite Size Biohacks episode, Angela answers your most asked question—how to get leaner and boost fat loss in time for summer. Whether you're looking to shift a little or a lot, she shares exactly how to turn your body into a fat-burning machine—without resorting to extreme measures. From muscle-building strategies to protein timing and the underrated power of NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogenesis), Angela reveals the three core principles that will elevate your metabolism, reshape your physique, and keep your energy levels steady all day long. Expect practical, science-backed tips you can implement immediately—and the mindset shift that will make it sustainable. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Master NEAT Movement: Non-exercise movement like walking and even fidgeting can boost daily fat burn by up to 20%. Why Muscle is Metabolic Gold: Muscle burns 2–3x more calories than fat—even at rest—making strength training non-negotiable. Protein is a Fat-Burning Accelerator: Protein has a thermic effect up to 30%, helping you burn more calories simply by eating it. Don’t Diet—Build Muscle Instead: Sustainable fat loss comes from increasing lean muscle, not slashing calories or fasting windows. Fuel Your Day with the Right First Meal: A high-protein breakfast stabilises blood sugar, cuts cravings, and boosts morning energy. Strength After 40 is Non-Negotiable: As we age, we lose insulin sensitivity and muscle—especially around menopause—so strength training is crucial.

  • Grey Area Drinking, Hormones & Midlife: What Every Woman Needs to Know | Sarah Rusbatch author of Beyond Booze
    Apr 13 2025
    What if alcohol isn’t the harmless stress reliever it’s been marketed to be—but a silent saboteur of your confidence, hormones, and nervous system? In this deeply honest and empowering conversation, Sarah Rusbatch, author of Beyond Booze, joins Angela to unpack the hidden costs of "grey area drinking"—the space between social drinking and addiction where many high-achieving women quietly struggle. Together, they explore how alcohol affects female physiology, from rising cortisol and disrupted sleep to impaired hormone detoxification and loss of confidence. Angela and Sarah also dive into the neuroscience of GABA, the truth about alcohol’s effect on your brain chemistry, and what it takes to reclaim joy, vitality, and authentic self-connection without reaching for a glass. Whether you're sober curious, navigating perimenopause, or questioning your relationship with alcohol, this episode is filled with science, stories, and soul-deep wisdom to help you create a life you love—alcohol free. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Grey Area Drinking Defined: The silent space where women drink regularly but don’t identify as having a problem—yet still experience negative consequences. Alcohol’s Hormonal Hijack: Alcohol raises cortisol, disrupts estrogen detox, and accelerates hormonal imbalances—especially in perimenopause. The GABA Trap: Alcohol mimics the calming GABA effect—but leads to a crash in neurotransmitters and increased stress over time. You’re Not Broken—You’re Biologically Wired : Struggling to stop after one glass isn’t a willpower issue; it’s neurochemistry and marketing manipulation. Sex, Intimacy & Sober Confidence: Alcohol isn’t a prerequisite for pleasure—Sarah explains how connection, nervous system regulation, and communication create better intimacy without booze. Curiosity Over Judgment: Take a break. Track the changes. Reconnect with who you really are—free from the fog of alcohol. TIMESTAMPS AND KEY TOPICS: 0:00 – Introduction 5:20 – Social and relational challenges of quitting 11:16 – The neurotransmitter rollercoaster 17:51 – The tipping point: rock bottom vs. gradual awareness 25:25 – How alcohol affects female hormones and liver health 33:49 – How to naturally boost GABA 37:51 – The role of nervous system regulation in sobriety 44:37 – Sex and the nervous system connection 49:08 – The hardest myth to break: alcohol = fun 53:04 – Try a 90-day alcohol-free experiment VALUABLE RESOURCES Listen to Angela’s solo episode on how she started with a 90 day alcohol free challenge, how she navigated the first year and the challenges and personal growth she experienced - listen here Click here for discounts on all the products I personally use and recommend Sarah’s book Beyond Booze https://amzn.eu/d/i6R9R7a Instagram https://www.instagram.com/sarahrusbatch/?hl=en Website: http://www.sarahrusbatch.com/ Facebook community - The Women's Wellbeing Collective - https://www.facebook.com/groups/342319476897067 A BIG thank you to our sponsors who make the show possible: LVLUP HEALTH: Slow aging, repair gut health boost collagen and recovery and more with LVLUP Health’s amazing products.

  • Bitesize Biohack: How To Improve Your HRV
    Apr 10 2025
    Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is one of the most powerful biomarkers we have for understanding how well our body adapts to stress, and it's a core focus in my BioSyncing® Blueprint. But what actually moves the needle on HRV the most? In this week’s bite-sized episode, I’m sharing a clip from my conversation with Kristen Holmes, VP of Performance Science at WHOOP. Kristen reveals the surprising lifestyle factor that had the biggest impact on her own HRV—one she tracked with elite athletes and validated through scientific research. Plus, I share the tool I’ve been testing to optimise my recovery and circadian rhythms: the Ultra Human Ring. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Sleep-Wake Consistency is Key: Regular bed and wake times predict HRV, workplace resilience, and even academic performance. Circadian Rhythm Disruption = Lower HRV: Misaligned rhythms are linked to reduced deep sleep and increased stress load. Tracking HRV Over Time: Your baseline is shaped by past behaviours—but you can improve it. One-Minute Changes Matter: Even small shifts in sleep timing variability can impact your HRV and resting heart rate. The Ultra Human Ring Advantage: No subscription, deep insights on sleep, recovery, and glucose—all in one place. Scientific Backing: Referenced studies from Nature and Military Medicine support the HRV-sleep connection. Women’s Health Insights: Kristen highlights how sleep regularity supports psychological and physiological resilience, especially in demanding environments. TIMESTAMPS AND KEY TOPICS 0:00 – Introduction 1:20 – Lifestyle factors influencing HRV 2:09 – HRV as a measure of stress adaptation 2:48 – Kristen’s 7-year HRV improvement 3:16 – Angela confirms HRV baseline context 3:53 – Harvard study on sleep regularity and GPA 4:46 – Athlete data validates sleep consistency 6:11 – Sleep-wake consistency is Kristen’s top strategy 6:44 – Circadian disruption and mental health VALUABLE RESOURCES Get a free snapshot of your health and personalised report at www.yourtotalhealthcheck.com Join The High Performance Health Community A BIG thank you to our sponsors who make the show possible: Save 10% on The Ultra Human Ring at www.ultrahuman.com/AngelaFoster To listen to the full episode with Kristen Holmes - https://lnk.to/EP317 ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster is an award winning Nutritionist, Health & Performance Coach, Speaker and Host of the High Performance Health podcast.

Highly recommend for female athletes!

Angela does a great job targeting important topics for women and explaining them in a way that’s digestible and applicable. I love the bite size pods too because they’re short and informative!
