This week's bitesize delves into the fascinating world of peptides, particularly focusing on GHK and its role in supporting collagen networks within the body. The discussion highlights the significant collagen loss women experience post-menopause and how this impacts both appearance and joint health, while exploring the benefits of combining GHK with hyaluronic acid and vitamin C to enhance skin health and hydration from the inside out.

Synergistic Effects of Ingredients: Combining GHK with other supplements like hyaluronic acid, collagen peptides, and vitamin C can enhance overall skin health and anti-aging effects, as they work through different mechanisms. Liposomal Delivery: Using liposomes to deliver peptides like GHK improves absorption rates significantly, allowing for better efficacy compared to traditional methods.

This episode of High Performance Health is a powerful reminder that the true path to longevity isn’t found in chasing supplement stacks or living to 160—it’s about becoming immune to aging by mastering the fundamentals. Angela sits down with Dr Jenna Macciochi, immunologist, author, and high-performance breathwork coach, to explore how chronic inflammation, lifestyle, mindset, and motherhood all shape our biological age far more than we realize. Dr Jenna's new book Immune to Age presents a revolutionary framework: understanding the immune system as a dynamic force through the seasons of life—from birth to old age. In this heartfelt, science-rich conversation, Jenna and Angela dive into everything from burnout and HRV to intuition, parenting, alcohol, and the myth of the perfect biohacking protocol. This is the longevity conversation every woman needs to hear.   KEY TAKEAWAYS: Chronic Inflammation: The Silent Driver of Aging : The immune system's slow burn of inflammation is the root cause behind most chronic diseases and early aging. The Parenting Connection: Children phase-lock to their mother’s HRV—your emotional regulation teaches them how to regulate themselves. Burnout & Intuition: Ignoring your intuition and pushing through stress leads to burnout. Slowing down and listening is the real path to resilience. Longevity Isn’t Just About Data: Healthspan matters more than lifespan. Fancy tests are fun, but it’s the basics—food, movement, sleep, breath—that move the needle. Alcohol, Sleep & Energy: Giving up alcohol even temporarily can have a massive ripple effect on mood, energy, and parenting. Immune System Through the Life Course: From womb to old age, your immune system evolves—and it’s never too early or too late to care for it.   TIMESTAMPS AND KEY TOPICS: 0:00 – Introduction 3:49 – Why healthspan matters more than lifespan 8:34 – Advice for working women juggling everything 12:15 – How meditation rewires stress and physiology 16:42 – Garbage time, HRV, and parenting insights 22:23 – Female intuition, hormones & relationships 29:10 – Jenna’s daily health and movement routine 34:28 – Alcohol and the “tiny experiment” approach 41:52 – Jenna’s new book: Immune to Age 49:37 – Cancer, inflammation & microbiome connection 59:24 – How to filter conflicting wellness advice 1:00:16 – Tests that matter (and those that don’t)   VALUABLE RESOURCES Get a free snapshot of your health and personalised report at www.yourtotalhealthcheck.com Join The High Performance Health Community Click here for discounts on all the products I personally use and recommend A BIG thank you to our sponsors who make the show possible: LVLUP HEALTH: Slow aging, repair gut health boost collagen and recovery and more with LVLUP Health’s amazing products.

I'm a bestselling author published in 13 languages, host of the Biohacking News podcast, and an expert in behaviour change, health optimisation, and human performance. Before turning my focus fully to my author career, I spent 15 years as a national broadcaster, hosting shows for Sky News, Sky Sports, and ITV — good times, although I don't miss the 3am alarms. These days, I help experts, entrepreneurs, and high performers transform their health, behaviour, and impact. And perhaps my biggest (ahem) flex: I'm the world's bestselling histamine intolerance author. Life’s full of surprises. I trained in Neuro-Linguistic Programming to the highest level with Richard Bandler, Paul McKenna, and Andy Smith, alongside further certifications in coaching leadership, EFT, and energy psychology. This work now underpins my coaching across health, mindset, and human performance.

In this rich and deeply personal episode of the High Performance Health Podcast, Angela sits down once again with her good friend and repeat guest Tony Wrighton for a powerful conversation about the real drivers of longevity. This is not your typical biohacking talk—Tony shares why mindset, identity, and nervous system regulation might be more important than any supplement stack or cold plunge when it comes to aging well. They explore the dangers of over-biohacking, how subconscious beliefs affect your healthspan, and why emotional regulation, human connection, and the way you talk to yourself could add more years to your life than any wearable device. Angela and Tony also open up about parenting, histamine intolerance, HRV hacks, and how to rewire your habits and behaviors from the inside out.   KEY TAKEAWAYS: Mindset Drives Longevity: A positive belief system around aging can add up to seven years to your life—more than giving up smoking. Cold Plunges Aren’t Always Healing: For anxious or overstimulated types, daily cold plunges may increase stress, not reduce it. Human Connection Heals: Simple moments like cuddling your kids or laughing with loved ones can measurably spike your HRV. Tracking Creates Lasting Change: Tony shares his daily accountability method with WhatsApp and how it keeps habits on track long-term. Overdoing Biohacks Can Backfire: Supplements, fasting, and intense training may accelerate aging if not balanced with recovery and intuition.

I'm a bestselling author published in 13 languages, host of the Biohacking News podcast, and an expert in behaviour change, health optimisation, and human performance. Before turning my focus fully to my author career, I spent 15 years as a national broadcaster, hosting shows for Sky News, Sky Sports, and ITV — good times, although I don't miss the 3am alarms. These days, I help experts, entrepreneurs, and high performers transform their health, behaviour, and impact. And perhaps my biggest (ahem) flex: I'm the world's bestselling histamine intolerance author. Life’s full of surprises. I trained in Neuro-Linguistic Programming to the highest level with Richard Bandler, Paul McKenna, and Andy Smith, alongside further certifications in coaching leadership, EFT, and energy psychology. This work now underpins my coaching across health, mindset, and human performance. I also work with high-level experts and authors to publish impactful books through my Premium Publishing Support program.
