  • Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, Gluten Sensitivity & Leaky Gut

    Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, Gluten Sensitivity & Leaky Gut
    Jul 25 2024
    Angela and special guest, Dr Izabella Wentz discuss the importance of removing gluten from the diet, particularly for individuals with leaky gut, celiac disease, Hashimoto's antibodies, and subclinical hypothyroidism. Dr Wentz shares her clinical experience and personal journey of eliminating gluten and dairy, leading to significant improvements in symptoms such as brain fog, fatigue, weight gain, and digestive issues. KEY TAKEAWAYS Removing gluten from the diet can have significant benefits for individuals with celiac disease, Hashimoto's antibodies, and subclinical hypothyroidism.Even without celiac disease, many individuals with Hashimoto's report feeling better off gluten, experiencing improvements in symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, weight gain, and digestive issues.Gluten sensitivity may lead to a case of mistaken identity where the body reacts to gluten proteins that cross-react with the thyroid gland, potentially exacerbating thyroid issues.Addressing underlying issues like a protozoal parasite (such as blastocystis hominis) or supporting the body post-pregnancy with specific supplements like carnitine and alfalfa can lead to improvements in food sensitivities and overall health. BEST MOMENTS "So, in some cases, there might be a case of mistaken identity if the body is reacting to the gluten molecule for whatever reason. It may also react to the thyroid gland." "I was like, wait a minute, And I was like, where did these ads come from like I'm not bloated. And my reflex went away and the carpal tunnel and the IBS and I was like, holy cow” "I know quite a lot of people that feel gluten sensitive and this would apply to me, they don't really have any gluten unless it's in sourdough bread."

    Genius Gut: The Life Changing Science of Eating For Your Second Brain with Dr Emily Leeming
    Jul 22 2024
    Angela welcomes Dr. Emily Leeming, a research fellow at King's College London, to discuss the fascinating connection between the gut microbiome and brain health. Dr. Leeming shares insights on the impact of stress on the microbiome, the importance of fibre and diverse foods for gut health, and the role of omega-3 in mental well-being. They also look at topics such as the production of short-chain fatty acids by gut bacteria, the influence of diet on mental health conditions like depression and ADHD, and the potential benefits of post-biotics. KEY TAKEAWAYS Eating foods rich in fibre and polyphenols, such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, can support the gut microbiome and brain health.Consuming omega-3 fatty acids from sources like oily fish can help prevent cognitive decline and support mental health.Chronic stress can negatively affect the gut microbiome, leading to inflammation and other health issues.The impact of artificial sweeteners on the gut microbiome is still being researched, with varying results depending on the type and dose.The gut microbiome can produce a wide range of metabolites, emphasising the importance of consuming a diverse range of foods to support gut health. BEST MOMENTS "So the microbiome really means all the microbes that we're covered in. So we're covered in microbes inside and out." “That was one of the key things that I took away from the book when I was reading it." "I think with the research where we know it at the moment in terms of the menopause, with taking soy foods and phytoestrogens is that it's very much on an individual basis."

  • BITESIZE: Why You MUST Address Adrenal Function FIRST If You Want Your Sex Hormones And Thyroid To Function Properly - with Christa Biegler

    BITESIZE: Why You MUST Address Adrenal Function FIRST If You Want Your Sex Hormones And Thyroid To Function Properly - with Christa Biegler
    Jul 18 2024
    Angela presents a biohack episode alongside previous guest, Christa Biegler, delving into the intricate relationship between thyroid health and overall hormonal balance, particularly focusing on the ovarian-adrenal-thyroid axis (OAT axis). They focus on the critical role of adrenal function in hormone production and stress response, highlighting the impact of cortisol on various bodily functions. KEY TAKEAWAYS Understanding the ovarian adrenal thyroid axis (OAT axis) is crucial as it involves the production of sex hormones, aldosterone, DHEA, and cortisol, which play vital roles in blood pressure, blood sugar, and stress response. The adrenal glands are essential for hormone production, especially cortisol, the "darling stress hormone," which affects energy levels, blood flow, and overall organ function. The thyroid is closely linked to metabolism, with symptoms such as fatigue, hair loss, feeling cold, and mental health issues like depression and anxiety indicating potential thyroid dysfunction. Pregnancy and postpartum periods can increase the demand for thyroid nutrients, leading to more thyroid-related symptoms like sluggish motility, fungal overgrowth, and dry skin. Recognising and addressing thyroid symptoms is crucial, as they can impact various bodily systems and functions, highlighting the interconnected nature of hormonal health. BEST MOMENTS "If you don't have cortisol, you die. It's the most essential. And so that one is almost at the top of the triangle to me." "I always think your symptoms matter more than your lab results because there's nothing more frustrating to a woman." "The top thyroid symptoms, which I did not resonate with, I resonated with different ones." "When you're pregnant and postpartum, your thyroid needs, the nutrients for the thyroid go up dramatically, of course, right?"

  • Sex, Hormones and Getting Your Life Back with Karen Martel

    Sex, Hormones and Getting Your Life Back with Karen Martel
    Jul 15 2024
    Angela welcomes special guest, Karen Martel, to talk about hormones, menopause, and women's health. Karen and Angela delve into the misconceptions surrounding oestrogen and hormone replacement therapy, emphasising the importance of understanding the benefits of hormone replacement for women's overall health. They also touch on the significance of testosterone and DHEA in women's health, highlighting the potential impact on energy levels, mental health, and sexual well-being. KEY TAKEAWAYS Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can be highly beneficial for women going through perimenopause and menopause, providing relief from symptoms and reducing the risk of various health issues.It is important for women to understand that experiencing health issues, such as weight gain or migraines, does not necessarily indicate a lack of effort in maintaining health, as human bodies naturally age and may face challenges despite healthy habits.DHEA supplementation can support adrenal health and energy levels, but it is essential to be cautious with dosages to avoid potential side effects like acne and hair loss.Women should not feel pressured to address every health issue through natural remedies or emotional healing, as sometimes medication or hormone replacement therapy may be the most effective solution.It is crucial for individuals to recognise that not all health trends or treatments, such as psychedelics or specific supplements, are suitable for everyone, and personal health decisions should be made based on individual needs and circumstances. BEST MOMENTS "Women can find that sex drive is better and sex life is better the older they get." "I always tell women like, you'll have better orgasms, more satisfactory." "I did that for like 20 years. I was like, oh, my my freaking dream board isn't good enough."

  • Bitesize Biohack: Peptides, Bioregulators and Lifestyle Hacks for Longevity with Nathalie Niddam

    Bitesize Biohack: Peptides, Bioregulators and Lifestyle Hacks for Longevity with Nathalie Niddam
    Jul 11 2024
    Angela presents a biohack episode alongside previous guest, Nathalie Niddam, where they discuss various strategies for slowing down the aging process and promoting overall healthspan. They touch on the importance of stress management, quality sleep, nutrition, exercise, and addressing underlying chronic infections and toxins. KEY TAKEAWAYS Collagen can be beneficial for health, but it's important to maintain a balanced diet with various nutrients to avoid deficiencies.Bioregulator peptides, such as epitalon, have shown potential in slowing down the aging process by restoring form and function to tissues, glands, and organs.Fasting and caloric restriction, when done properly, can stimulate autophagy and have been studied for their effectiveness in slowing down aging.Addressing underlying chronic infections and toxins, such as heavy metals or tick-borne diseases, is crucial for maintaining optimal health and function.Bioregulator peptides like epitalon are available as nutritional supplements and have been shown to have positive effects on hormone balance, sleep, bone density, and immune function. BEST MOMENTS "I get collagen in all kinds of places... I am a fan of collagen, for sure." "We have to have a mechanism by which we're restoring function to our tissues, glands, and organs as they naturally wear out." "Epitalon in studies was shown to normalise melatonin production in elderly adults... It was supportive of a whole bunch of foundational aspects of health." "The bioregulator peptides are essentially epigenetic switches that flip on genes that signal a tissue, gland, or organ to produce proteins that help to restore form and function."

    Alzheimer’s is Optional! Patrick Holford on How to Upgrade Your Brain
    Jul 8 2024
    Angela welcomes Patrick Holford who’s discussing the importance of nourishing and protecting the brain for optimal health and performance. He delves into the intricate workings of the brain, emphasising the significance of omega-3 DHA, phospholipids, and B vitamins in maintaining brain health. He also highlights the role of homocysteine as a biomarker for various diseases, the impact of B vitamins on methylation, and why he believes the onset of Alzheimers may be something that we can do something about KEY TAKEAWAYS The brain is over 60% fat, with omega-3 DHA being a key component that attaches to phospholipids, essential for brain function and structure.Elevated homocysteine levels are linked to a range of conditions, including neurological disorders, heart disease, and cancer, making it a vital marker to monitor for overall health.B vitamins play a crucial role in the methylation process, which is necessary for incorporating omega-3 into the brain. Proper methylation is vital for cognitive function and overall brain health.Understanding how to change behaviours related to diet, lifestyle, and supplementation is crucial for preventing cognitive decline and reducing the risk of various diseases. BEST MOMENTS "Your brain currently has to be underperforming because you didn't know what it was that you need to optimally nourish your brain." "The recommendation for children is to eat fish twice a week. Less than 5% of children achieve even that." "I can't believe it's ignored. It's never on like a standard doctors or even like a pupil health check." "The single hardest bit is not finding out what is the problem, which we, of course, will do."

  • Bitesize: The Benefits and Risks(!) of NAD

    Bitesize: The Benefits and Risks(!) of NAD
    Jul 4 2024
    Angela welcomes Nichola Conlon to talk about the critical molecule NAD (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) and its importance for the human body. Nichola provides a comprehensive overview of NAD, highlighting its crucial roles in energy production within cells and as a signaling molecule for cellular maintenance and repair. Angela and Nichola also look into how NAD levels decline with age, impacting energy levels and cellular health, ultimately contributing to the aging process KEY TAKEAWAYS NAD, or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, is a crucial molecule for energy production in cells and acts as a signaling molecule for cellular maintenance and repair. NAD levels decline with age, starting from birth, and this decline is linked to reduced energy levels and impaired cellular maintenance and repair, contributing to the aging process. Intermittent fasting, calorie restriction, and exercise are ways to positively impact NAD levels by creating an energy stress that activates the AMPK pathway, leading to increased NAD production. High-intensity interval training and fasting in a fasted state can further upregulate the AMPK pathway, enhancing the body's ability to produce NAD. The salvage pathway in cells is responsible for recycling NAD breakdown products, primarily nicotinamide, back into usable NAD. However, this pathway becomes dysregulated with age due to a decline in the enzyme NAMPT, leading to decreased NAD levels in older cells. BEST MOMENTS "NAD, I sometimes refer to it as probably the most important molecule that you've never heard of." "From research that's been done, it seems like it declines from birth. So by the time you're age 20, you've kind of got half the amounts of NAD that you had when you were born." "I think what's known is that any level of fasting really is going to start to actually increase your NAD levels." "So all the beneficial effects of exercise, fasting, et cetera, are happening because they're increasing the ability of our cells to use this salvage pathway."

  • Everything You Need to Know About Birth Control with Kate Muir

    Everything You Need to Know About Birth Control with Kate Muir
    Jul 1 2024
    Angela welcomes Kate Muir, to discuss her bestselling book, "Everything You Need to Know About the Pill, But We're Too Afraid to Ask." Kate shares her personal journey and research findings related to the effects of hormonal contraception, particularly focusing on the pill. She delves into the impact of different types of pills on mental health, libido, breast cancer risk, and overall well-being. KEY TAKEAWAYS The pill can have significant effects on mental health, libido, and overall well-being, with synthetic hormones impacting serotonin levels and mood.Different types of pills contain varying progestins and oestrogens, leading to different side effects and risks, such as increased breast cancer risk.Options like the copper coil and natural cycles provide non-hormonal alternatives, with potential benefits for mood and overall health.Body-identical pills with natural oestrogen and safer progestins show promise in reducing side effects and improving mood.Trials for male contraception, such as a shoulder gel, show potential with minimal side effects, offering a new perspective on shared contraceptive responsibility. BEST MOMENTS "I think the pill had sort of ground her down. And when she came off it, she was great. You know, there are other issues in people's lives, but that was clearly a cause of her low mood and depression, real flat mood." “Despite me having been diagnosed with three bouts of postnatal depression and then major depressive disorder for a number of years with possible bipolar, their first instinct was, well, we just need to get you back on the pill." “Doctors are really not trained in hormones at all" “We did a big poll for Channel 4. And I think we found about something like, 7 to 14% were getting it for sort of acne or skin. And lots and lots of people were going on it for heavy periods or irregular periods."
