Join Angela and John R. Miles for a thought-provoking discussion about the challenges of pursuing one's passion amidst financial concerns and life commitments.

0:00 – Introduction
1:25 – The stool metaphor: building multiple supports for life

August 18, 2025Masterclass Replay: Dr Steven Gundry | Unlock the Keto Code (Without Actually Going Keto) and Turbo-Charge Your Metabolism
Dr Steven R. Gundry is an American physician and low-carbohydrate diet author, most famous for his book 'Unlocking the Keto Code'. He is also the founder of Gundry MD, dedicated to dramatically improving human health, happiness, and longevity through his unique vision of diet and nutrition.
Dr Steven joins Angela to talk about mitochondrial uncoupling, specifically how you can eat certain foods designed to turbo-charge your metabolism, effectively wasting calories, enabling you to support energy and vitality while supporting fat loss at the same time.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:

Ketones as Signaling Compounds: Contrary to popular belief, ketones are not a super fuel for the body. Instead, they act as signaling compounds

Role of Diet in Longevity: Certain foods, such as spices (e.g., black pepper, cinnamon), fermented cheeses, and beverages like tea and red wine, can enhance mitochondrial uncoupling

Impact of Cold and Heat Exposure: Both cold exposure and sauna use can uncouple mitochondria, promoting metabolic health

[00:00:27] Mitochondrial uncoupling explained.
[00:05:39] Ketogenic diet for seizure reduction.

August 08, 2025Bitesize: Still Exhausted? Why Your Supplement Stack Isn’t Working | Dr Jacey Folkers
Angela and Dr Jacey Folkers present a bitesize focusing upon the critical role of B vitamins and other supplements in energy production and overall health.

Holistic Approach to Health: While supplements can support health, they are not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle
