Angela is joined by Dr Emily Leeming, to talk about the intricate relationship between diet, gut health, and mental well-being. They discuss how serotonin produced in the gut is utilised for digestion and muscle contractions, while gut microbes play a crucial role in supplying the brain with tryptophan, a building block for serotonin.
Emily and Angela also discuss the significant findings from population studies and a randomised control trial that link poor dietary choices, particularly ultra-processed foods, to increased prevalence of mental health disorders.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
A poor quality diet, particularly one high in ultra-processed foods, is associated with a higher prevalence of mental health disorders. A randomised control trial in 2017 showed that participants following a Mediterranean diet experienced significant improvements in depressive symptoms.
There are differences in the gut microbiome of individuals with conditions like autism and ADHD. While some early research suggests that specific probiotics may alleviate certain symptoms, it remains unclear whether these microbiome differences are a cause or a consequence of the conditions.
The gut microbiome plays a role in recycling oestrogen. Certain gut microbes can break down oestrogen waste and help reintroduce it into the body. The effectiveness of this process may vary between populations, as seen in studies comparing Japanese and American gut microbiomes.
Chronic stress negatively affects the gut microbiome, leading to an imbalance that can compromise immune function. While short-term stress can be beneficial, prolonged stress creates an inhospitable environment for gut bacteria.
BEST MOMENTS
"We know from big population studies that if you have a poor quality diet, you're more likely to have a mental health disorder."
"What we do know is that there's some early research around probiotics... helping to alleviate some symptoms of autism."
"When oestrogen is got rid of in your body, it's waste, it goes into your gut. and your microbes can help to pull apart this oestrogen."
"What happens when you're chronically stressed... is that train track starts to get a little bit rockety and the wheels start maybe coming off the train."

Angela presents a bitesized edition alongside Morgan Nolte, in which they look at the critical differences between insulin resistance, prediabetes, and type 2 diabetes, emphasising the often-overlooked role of insulin in blood sugar regulation.
They explain how insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas, helps move glucose from the bloodstream into cells for energy storage, and how high insulin levels can lead to insulin resistance, where cells become less responsive, requiring more insulin to achieve the same effect.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Hidden Insulin Resistance: 88% of adults in the U.S. have some degree of insulin resistance, even if their blood sugar levels appear normal. Standard blood tests like fasting glucose and HbA1c often miss early warning signs. How Insulin Works: Insulin helps regulate blood sugar by moving glucose into cells for energy. Over time, if insulin levels stay high, cells become resistant, requiring more insulin to maintain balance, leading to metabolic dysfunction. Early Warning Signs: High blood pressure, unexplained weight gain (especially belly fat), sugar cravings, fatigue, brain fog, and joint pain can be early indicators of insulin resistance before it progresses to prediabetes or type 2 diabetes. Testing Beyond Blood Sugar: Checking fasting insulin levels (optimal is under 6) and using the HOMA-IR test can provide a clearer picture of insulin sensitivity. These tests can detect issues up to two decades before a diabetes diagnosis. Practical Solutions: Lifestyle adjustments, including a low-carb, high-protein diet, strength training, stress management, and prioritizing sleep, can improve insulin sensitivity, support metabolic health, and help reverse insulin resistance.TIMESTAMPS & KEY TOPICS
00:05 – 88% of adults have insulin resistance, even with normal blood sugar. 00:24 – Introduction to the episode and guest Dr. Morgan Nolte. 02:11 – Why insulin resistance worsens with age, especially in women. 03:31 – Understanding insulin’s role in blood sugar regulation. 04:37 – How cells become resistant to insulin over time. 06:02 – Why fasting insulin is a critical but often overlooked test. 07:10 – Insulin resistance as a spectrum, from normal function to diabetes. 08:20 – How to get tested for fasting insulin at home or through labs. 10:22 – Why standard blood tests might not reveal insulin resistance. 12:07 – Signs of insulin resistance: blood pressure, cravings, fatigue. 13:54 – The connection between insulin resistance and joint pain. 15:30 – How to reverse insulin resistance with diet and lifestyle.VALUABLE RESOURCES

Angela welcomes Dan Levitin, author of "Music as Medicine," to explore the profound impact of music on our biology and mental health. They discuss how music affects neurotransmitters and hormones, the intricate process of how we perceive sound, and the emotional connections we form with music.
Dan shares insights on the therapeutic applications of music for conditions like anxiety and depression, emphasising the importance of personal music preferences in achieving relaxation and emotional healing.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Music & The Brain: Music is more than just entertainment—it directly affects brain function, influencing neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin. It can enhance mood, reduce stress, and even improve cognitive functions like memory and focus. Performance & Endurance: Music has a profound impact on physical performance. Whether it’s helping athletes run faster by synchronizing their pace with the beat or increasing endurance by reducing the perception of effort, the right music can be a powerful tool for improving workouts. Music & Emotions: Music is deeply connected to our emotions and memory. A song can instantly transport us back in time, evoking strong feelings tied to specific moments in our lives. It can also be used intentionally to shift mood—whether to energize, calm, or provide comfort in difficult moments. Healing & Prevention: Research shows that music can boost the immune system by increasing immunoglobulin A (IgA) and natural killer cells, which help fight infections. It also reduces blood pressure, eases muscle tension, and supports overall health, making it a valuable tool for preventive care. Memory & Mental Health: Music plays a vital role in mental health therapy. It can help reduce anxiety, lift depression, and support Alzheimer’s patients by triggering memories. Additionally, sad music is often more effective than happy music in helping people process emotions and feel understood.TIMESTAMPS AND KEY TOPICS
00:05 – Music boosts the immune system and enhances endurance. 03:34 – How music affects neurotransmitters and hormones. 06:11 – Music’s role in emotional responses and anticipation. 10:10 – The impact of music on metabolic function and energy. 13:30 – Why repetitive listening can diminish a song’s effect. 15:21 – How music tempo influences athletic performance. 18:30 – Dopamine release from music vs. addictive behaviors. 22:14 – Music and spiritual connection: accessing flow states. 30:40 – Music therapy for anxiety, depression, and schizophrenia. 35:56 – How music strengthens the immune system and prevents illness. 39:51 – The benefits of playing an instrument beyond just listening. 41:14 – Singing and its impact on well-being and mental clarity.VALUABLE RESOURCES

So her own practice was born.
For two decades, Anna has worked with thousands of leaders, private clients and corporations around the world including Greenpeace and multinational investment banks. Described as 'the face of the new shamanism' by The Sunday Times Style, she takes her clients on a journey that reconnects them to complete health physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Her work gives them the confidence to express their full potential through living multi-faceted and fulfilling lives that are in alignment with their purpose and their joy.
The Shaman In Stilettos (Penguin) is Anna’s bestselling memoir.

Angela is joined by fitness guru Vince Sant, to talk about the complexities of women's fitness, particularly as they approach perimenopause and beyond. The discussion emphasises the importance of resistance training, clarifying the benefits of lifting heavier weights versus higher repetition ranges for body composition and muscle definition
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Muscle vs. Fat: Muscle is denser than fat, so building muscle while burning fat results in a leaner, toned appearance. Optimal Rep Ranges: For strength, use low reps (5x5). For body composition, prioritize 8-15 reps to maximize muscle fiber engagement and metabolism. Intensity Matters: Challenge muscles during workouts for better results. Proper effort is crucial, regardless of weight range. Debunking Myths: Women won’t “bulk up” by lifting heavier weights due to hormonal differences. Resistance training builds lean muscle and boosts metabolism. Fasted vs. Pre-Fueled Training: The best approach depends on your schedule and personal preference. Consistency and enjoyment are key for long-term adherence. Progress is Nonlinear: Everyone has off days. The focus should be on discipline and maintaining habits, even when motivation wanes.TIMESTAMPS AND KEY TOPICS

Angela talks to TJ Power, the author of "The Dose Effect," who shares his personal journey through mental health challenges and the insights he gained from studying psychology and neuroscience.
They discuss the importance of understanding the four key brain chemicals—dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins—and how they influence our motivation, relationships, mood, and stress levels. TJ emphasises the significance of managing expectations to enhance happiness and explores practical strategies for improving mental well-being, such as spending time in nature, breaking down goals into manageable steps, and addressing the inner critic.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The Power of D.O.S.E.: Understanding dopamine (motivation), oxytocin (connection), serotonin (mood), and endorphins (stress relief) is essential for improving mental health and performance. Avoid Overstimulation: Overuse of phones, social media, and sugar can overstimulate dopamine pathways, leading to crashes and low mood. Start your day with action, not distractions, to reset your brain. Nature for Mental Clarity: Spending time in nature without distractions helps process thoughts, calm the mind, and increase serotonin for balanced mood and focus. Oxytocin Builds Confidence: Connection and contribution elevate oxytocin levels, boosting confidence and improving social interactions. Break Goals into Small Steps: Avoid feeling overwhelmed by long-term goals by breaking them into manageable chunks with attainable short-term deadlines. Balance Technology: While helpful, tools like fitness trackers can trigger dopamine spikes. Regular detoxes or mindful use improve mental health. Quiet Moments Matter: Take time to reflect without distractions. Regularly spending time in silence or with minimal stimulation helps clear mental clutter.TIMESTAMPS

Angela is joined by Dr Stacy Sims for a bitesize edition devoted to the intricacies of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and resistance training specifically tailored for women navigating perimenopause and postmenopause.
They discuss the importance of adjusting workout intensity and frequency based on hormonal changes, emphasising the need for increased doses of sprint interval and strength training as women transition through these phases.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Take Ownership of Your Workouts: You’re paying for your classes and fitness routines, so tailor them to your body’s needs. Intervals and training formats must work for you, not the other way around.
Strength Training at All Stages: Building muscle before menopause creates a foundation for better health, stronger bones, and more energy. Women should focus on resistance training and power-based exercises to maintain joint stability and lean mass.
HIIT and Sprint Training Adaptations: Women in perimenopause benefit from 2–3 HIIT or sprint sessions weekly, while postmenopausal women need increased doses of shorter sprint and resistance training to stimulate muscle and bone health effectively.
Periodization is Key: Adjust training in phases throughout the year to match hormonal changes, seasons, and lifestyle. Periodized programs with focused blocks (e.g., VO2 work, hypertrophy, or strength) allow sustainable progress.
Consistency Builds Strength and Longevity: A gradual approach to higher-intensity training ensures joint and muscle health, particularly in late postmenopause. The goal is to gradually increase intensity and frequency, avoiding injury while building resilience.
Plyometric Training Misconceptions: High-intensity activities like box jumps or battle ropes can count as plyometric or sprint work. The key is short bursts of effort at high intensity (RPE 9–10).
