She addresses the science behind cortisol, its effects on energy levels, sleep, and metabolism, and offers practical strategies for managing cortisol levels through lifestyle adjustments, nutrition, and exercise. Angela also answers questions about optimising cognitive function and brain health, emphasising the importance of omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and hydration, and how to adjust workout routines for fat loss and muscle tone as we age, highlighting the significance of strength training and high-intensity interval training (HIIT). MAIN TAKEAWAYS Mitochondrial density and quality are crucial for energy levels, especially for women going through perimenopause, as reduced mitochondrial function can lead to lower energy. Elevated cortisol levels due to chronic stress can negatively impact performance, sleep, and metabolism. Managing cortisol through circadian alignment, nutrition, and stress-reducing practices is essential for overall health. Consuming omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants (like blueberries), and B vitamins is vital for supporting cognitive function and reducing brain fog, particularly in women experiencing hormonal changes. Strength training and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) are effective for maintaining muscle mass and promoting fat loss as one ages. Progressive overload in strength training is key to stimulating muscle growth. IAdequate recovery is crucial to prevent overtraining and burnout. Incorporating rest days, proper nutrition, and hydration supports muscle recovery and overall well-being. BEST MOMENTS "During perimenopause, we see reduced mitochondrial density and number, which affects your energy."  "Circadian misalignment is implicated in 100% of mental health conditions."  "Regular, moderate exercise can lower baseline cortisol over time."  "Omega-3, particularly DHA, is essential for brain health and supports cognitive function."  "Strength training is absolutely going to be your friend here for maintaining muscle strength and metabolic health."
