Angela discusses the invisible barrier that may be preventing individuals from seeing results in their fitness and nutrition efforts, explaining how stress, particularly high cortisol levels, can hinder weight loss and body composition goals.

Angela also focusses on the importance of managing stress and finding balance in order to optimise health and performance, touching on topics such as heart rate variability, nutrition strategies, and the impact of stress on various aspects of well-being

"When you're stressed, it can have so many factors on the way your physiology is operating. So one of the key things is stress is tightly linked and the hormone cortisol with your blood sugar regulation."

"What we need to do is to try to address the stress. Modern life is inherently stressful, but what we can do is start to bring in practices that are going to help us moderate that stress."

"That's why I'm not a big fan of going too restrictive, definitely not for too long. It down-regulates things that you don't want it to down-regulate, that you then feel like you're not enjoying life as much, because it's not much fun"
