Margaret Floyd Barry is a certified Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and Master Restorative Wellness Practitioner who specialises in Thyroid function and autoimmunity She talks with Angela about the role of digestive dysfunction in chronic illness and how the thyroid and your gut are affected by stress, toxins, diet, lifestyle, and lack of sleep. With this combination of stressors exhausting the immune system, it can be in a constant inflammatory loop but as Margaret explains the key is to identify and systematically remove the stressors from the immune system whilst also supporting it to calm down and pull it away from the pro-inflammatory loops, she shares great content on how this can be approached along with invaluable information about the links between the thyroid and fertility   KEY TAKEAWAYS There are thyroid receptors on every single cell in the body The vast majority of the immune system lives in or around the gut and digestive tract, so this is a good starting point Much of the conventional diet causes damage to the digestive system and triggers the immune system resulting in a consistent burden and drain on it Focusing on digestive healing and removing inflammatory foods, can be enough to put some individuals into full remission from autoimmune conditions such as Hashimoto's and Graves Some of the proteins in gluten containing grains can look very similar to thyroid tissue so removing gluten from the diet is essential Our immune system gets really good at doing what we ask it to do most frequently and we ask it to inflame all of the time Helping your immune system to calm, resolve and anti-inflame is critical Changes and imbalances in any hormone affect the signalling to glands The thyroid and adrenals are closely linked and if you have dysregulation in one the body often makes adjustments through the other The adrenals play a vital role in the transition from peri menopause through to menopause how robust and healthy the adrenals are will often dictate how smooth the transition will be when you have an underactive thyroid it affects the hypothalamus hormone GRH which in turn can lead to hormone dysregulation and an anovulatory cycle The research indicates there is some form of autoimmune mechanism that is contributing to complications with fertility   BEST MOMENTS ‘It has an incredible role in our metabolism and energy levels’ ‘There isn’t a body system that the thyroid isn’t impacting in some way’ ‘We are supporting the immune system to come back into balance and this means supporting the digestive system’   RESOURCES FOR THIS EPISODE Instagram: @angelasfoster https://summit.healthoptimisation.com/  - enter code Angela Foster for a 20% discount on a ticket https://angelafosterperformance.com/angela-recommends/ enter code Angela 10 for a 10% discount on Eat Pluck organ based seasoning https://eatpluck.com/ https://www.eatnakedkitchen.com/thefirstfive/ https://www.eatnakednow.com/ www.restorativewellnesssolutions.com Instagram: @margaretfloydbarry     VALUABLE RESOURCES High Performance Health Podcast Series -https://angelafosterperformance.com/podcasts/ Join Angela’s Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/femalebiohacker Free Fasting Guide -https://angelafosterperformance.com/fasting/  Biohack Your Way to Your Best Self - Join My Exclusive Female Biohacker Collective -  www.angelafosteracademy.com/female-Biohacker-collective Watch my Free Masterclass on how to master your metabolism -www.angelafosteracademy.com/master-your-metabolism  Download my free Guide to Harmonising Your Hormones -www.angelafosterperformance.com/hormones  Download my free Guide to Sleep Like a Boss -www.angelafosterperformance.com/sleep Get my bestselling book Rethink Health -https://amzn.to/3vbzYOV   ABOUT THE GUEST Margaret Floyd Barry is a functional nutritionist, writer and real food advocate who’s been on the pursuit of the most nutritious and delicious way of eating for the better part of her adult life.

Angela talks with Robb Wolf,  former research biochemist, New York Times and Wall Street Journal Best-selling author and co-host of ‘The Healthy Rebellion Radio’ podcast They discuss their own blood sugar issues, effectively tracking blood sugar, the impact of moving to a low carb diet and how the 7 Day Carb Test can help you to make better-informed decisions Robb also shares great information and advice for those who want to optimise their health but have additional  challenges such as complex autoimmune and metabolic issues, explaining exactly how you can achieve optimum health and the results you want This is also a great opportunity to hear about the vital role sodium plays in the body and why it’s so important to rehydrate and remineralise in the right way   KEY TAKEAWAYS Individuals can eat a zero carbohydrate diet and still have elevated blood glucose levels due to hepatic glucose release in response to high levels of stress and poor sleep Eating particular  foods can register as a stress response due to the process of eating it or how it interfaces with the gut biome The state of ketosis is subjective to the individual and the volume and intensity of their activity and individually how metabolic healthy and flexible they are Every nerve impulse and muscle contraction is driven by changes in sodium potassium status both inside and outside of cells Elevated insulin levels from overeating and intake of refined foods can be the driver for hypertension When people clean up their diet they reduce both their carbohydrate load and sodium intake Heat, humidity, and physical activity all increase the demands for good rehydration   When you reach the required level of sodium your appetite for sodium rich foods decreases All nutrients and micronutrients have a flavour but only sodium has a specific taste receptor. Sodium rich foods are usually more protein dense and more nutrient dense The 7 Day Carb Test helps you to determine how you handle the glycaemic load of carbohydrates From person to person the carbohydrate response can be very different, everyone varies and you need to focus on your total glucose displacement over time   BEST MOMENTS ‘I shifted into a low carb diet and it was magic for me’ ‘When you are intolerant to a particular food it results in stress for the body’ ‘People rarely have an accurate insight into their blood glucose responses to different foods, the 7 Day Carb Test provides this so that individuals can make informed decisions’   VALUABLE RESOURCES High Performance Health Podcast Series -https://angelafosterperformance.com/podcasts/ Free Fasting Guide -https://angelafosterperformance.com/fasting/ Free Health Check & Personalised Report -https://www.yourtotalhealthcheck.com/ Join Angela’s Female Biohacker Community -https://www.facebook.com/groups/femalebiohacker  Biohack Your Way to Your Best Self - Join My Exclusive Female Biohacker Collective -  www.angelafosteracademy.com/female-Biohacker-collective  Get a free health check and personalised report atwww.yourtotalhealthcheck.com Watch my Free Masterclass on how to master your metabolism -www.angelafosteracademy.com/master-your-metabolism Download my free Guide to Harmonising Your Hormones -www.angelafosterperformance.com/hormones Download my  free Fasting Guide -www.angelafosterperformance.com/fasting/ Download my free Guide to Sleep Like a Boss -www.angelafosterperformance.com/sleep Join my free Facebook Community -www.facebook.com/groups/femalebiohacker Get my bestselling book Rethink Health -https://amzn.to/3vbzYOV   RESOURCES FOR THIS EPISODE http://bit.ly/female-biohacker   https://robbwolf.com/ Wired to Eat - Robb Wolf Sacred Cow - Diana Rodgers, Robb Wolf The Paleo Solution - Robb Wolf Robb Wolf Instagram Robb Wolf Substack   ABOUT THE GUEST Robb Wolf is a former research biochemist and 2X New York Times/Wall Street Journal Best-selling author of The Paleo Solution and Wired To Eat.

Supplements and is passionate about supporting and facilitating change. Having worked across multiple industries and functions, Adam is no stranger to change, yet it was only when he left his previous role as Managing Director of one of the UK’s fastest growing grocery start-ups and landed in Bali for a sabbatical that he really felt the effects of it.    Disinterested, fatigued and low in mood, the reality that he was burnt out started to dawn on him and he started to investigate the supplement space. Not satisfied with what he found, he has spent the last two years developing an entirely different proposition which helps to support the three vital wellness zones (brain, body, and spirit) during times of change, but crucially also overcomes the problems he identified with taking supplementation.     CONTACT DETAILS  www.zaagsupplements.com @zaagsupplements     ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster Angela is a Nutritionist, Health, and Performance Coach.
