  • Reverse Biological Ageing: Does Fasting Shorten Lifespan? | Dr Valter Longo

    Reverse Biological Ageing: Does Fasting Shorten Lifespan? | Dr Valter Longo
    Feb 9 2026
    Today I’m joined by Professor Valter Longo to unpack what actually slows biological ageing, and what most women are getting wrong about fasting, protein, and diet. We explore the difference between chronological age and biological age, how biological ageing is measured, and why chasing extreme fasting or high-protein trends may quietly undermine long-term health. Professor Longo shares decades of research behind the Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD), explains why most popular fasting protocols may increase cardiovascular risk, and outlines the dietary patterns consistently linked to the world’s longest-living populations. This conversation cuts through longevity hype with evidence from human trials, centenarian studies, and 100 years of ageing research, offering a grounded, practical framework for improving healthspan without extremes. WHAT YOU’LL LEARN • The real difference between chronological age and biological age – and how it’s measured • Why blood biomarkers may be more reliable than epigenetic ageing clocks right now • What organ-specific ageing clocks reveal about hidden health risks • How long it actually takes to activate meaningful autophagy in humans • Why most intermittent fasting protocols may increase heart disease risk • The science behind the 5-day Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD) • FMD vs water fasting: gut health, muscle preservation, and safety • Why skipping breakfast is linked to higher cardiovascular mortality • The optimal daily eating window for longevity (and why 12 hours matters) • How often to use FMD for longevity, metabolic health, and disease prevention • Why excess protein may accelerate ageing and disease risk • How much protein humans actually need for longevity • The ideal macronutrient balance for healthspan and lifespan • How nutrition consistently outperforms exercise for lifespan extension • Practical longevity habits around sleep, stress, and lifestyle timing Timestamps 00:00 Intro: Biological Age vs Chronological Age 04:03 Organ-Specific Ageing: Why One Age Score Can Be Misleading 06:15 Autophagy Explained: How Long It Really Takes in Humans 08:59 The Longevity Diet & Fasting Mimicking Diet Explained 11:26 Why Most Fasting Protocols May Be Harmful Long-Term 16:58 Skipping Breakfast, Cholesterol & Heart Disease Risk 18:36 Water Fasting vs FMD: Gut Health, Microbiome & Muscle Loss 35:03 Protein Intake Myths: Muscle, Ageing & Disease Risk 42:46 Sleep, Stress & Lifestyle Factors That Extend Healthspan VALUABLE RESOURCES A BIG thank you to our sponsors who make the show possible: • MitoQ NAD+ 👉 Use Code ANGELA for 10% off • Timeline 👉 http://timeline.com/angela | Enter code ANGELA for 10% off your first order ABOUT THE GUEST Professor Valter Longo is a world-leading longevity scientist, biogerontologist, and Director of the Longevity Institute at the University of Southern California.

  • Why Women Gain Belly Fat in Midlife And the 5 Simple Shifts That Fix It

    Why Women Gain Belly Fat in Midlife And the 5 Simple Shifts That Fix It
    Feb 6 2026
    Angela addresses the common misconception that a slowed metabolism is the primary cause of weight gain during midlife, particularly for women experiencing menopause. Instead, the focus is on the impact of visceral fat and insulin exposure, which can lead to stubborn belly fat. Angela episode outlines five actionable levers to combat these issues, including increasing daily movement, prioritising resistance training, strategically using high-intensity interval training (HIIT), choosing fibrous whole food carbohydrates, and improving sleep and stress resilience WHAT YOU’LL LEARN: Insulin Exposure: Elevated insulin levels throughout the day hinder the body's ability to mobilise stored fat. Improving insulin sensitivity is crucial for effective fat loss, particularly around the abdomen. Five Effective Levers: To combat midlife belly fat, focus on five key strategies: Break up long periods of sitting and increase daily movement. Prioritise resistance training three times a week. Use high-intensity interval training (HIIT) strategically. Choose fibrous whole food carbohydrates instead of cutting carbs entirely. Improve sleep quality and manage stress to enhance metabolic health. Personalised Approach: The most effective strategy for reducing belly fat varies for each individual. Factors such as sleep disruption, stress load, glucose swings, and training intensity should be considered TIMESTAMPS [00:01:35] Visceral fat and health risks. [00:04:24] Break up sitting and movement. [00:09:20] Sleep disruption and stress load.

  • Do You Really Need a Detox: Daily Strategies to Support Liver and Gut Detoxification | Adam Parker

    Do You Really Need a Detox: Daily Strategies to Support Liver and Gut Detoxification | Adam Parker
    Feb 2 2026
    Angela takes a look at the essentials of daily detoxification with executive wellness coach and Ideal Day podcast host, Adam Parker. Moving beyond the hype of fad cleanses, Adam and Angela explore how our bodies naturally process modern environmental toxins, from heavy metals to microplastics, and why proactive support is vital in 2026. From the controversial benefits of coffee enemas to the science-backed power of sauna protocols, mineral replenishment, and binders, this conversation provides a roadmap for boosting metabolic flexibility, clearing brain fog, and reclaiming your cellular energy. WHAT YOU’LL LEARN: Detox is a Continuous Process: The body is always detoxing through breath, sweat, and elimination; however, the modern toxic load often exceeds our natural capacity The Bottom-Up Protocol: Effective detoxification should follow a specific sequence starting at the colon (the bottom of the drainage funnel) and moving up to the liver, gallbladder, lymph, and finally the cells The Role of Lipophilic Toxins: Many modern man-made chemicals are fat-soluble (lipophilic) and store themselves in fat tissue Minerals as the "Spark Plugs": Heavy metals often compete with essential minerals for cell receptors. Replenishing with fulvic and humic minerals or unrefined sea salt is a foundational daily habit to push out heavy metals and fuel metabolic pathways. TIMESTAMPS [01:41] — Defining Detox: Adam explains why the body needs extra support in today’s environment compared to a decade ago. [05:25] — Fat Tissue & Toxin Storage: A discussion on why toxins hide in body fat and the symptoms that occur when they are mobilised. [08:52] — The Supplement Strategy: Deep dive into magnesium for the colon and milk thistle/dandelion for stagnant bile flow in the liver. [11:51] — The Coffee Enema Debate: Adam breaks down the 100-year history and the hepatic portal vein mechanism behind this controversial practice. [17:09] — Maximum Sauna Benefits: How to use binders, hydration, and "sweat-wiping" techniques to optimise heat-based detoxification.
