Ep. #127 | DNA Based Health Optimization During a Pandemic with Angela Foster
I am so excited to be accompanied by Angela Foster to today’s episode while we talk about the impact of our DNA on our health and hormones, as well as the effects the pandemic has on our systems.
Angela Foster is a leading female biohacker, certified health, and performance coach. She uses a combination of modern science such as DNA analysis with time-honored holistic practices to transform her clients’ health, energy, and performance. After recovering from a serious illness in 2014, Angela left the world of corporate law with a single mission in mind: to inspire and educate others to live an energetic, healthful and limitless life. Now, she works with high-performing clients (including top CEOs, entrepreneurs, executives, and athletes) in optimizing the expression of their respective genetics for ultimate health.
As a founder and CEO of My DNA Edge, she provides individuals with tools and bio-hacks needed to optimize their genetic expression for optimal health and performance. Angela also hosts the High-Performance Health Podcast; the show where she talks about everything you need to break through limits and achieve a high-performance mind, body, and lifestyle.

If you don’t get proper sleep your mood and body will suffer. Ask yourself if there is anything more you can do to improve your sleep. I use Valericalm by Saint Francis Herb Farm. It is especially good when I feel that kind of anxiousness, the one that prevents you from sleeping because you feel like you’re buzzing. Valericalm is amazingly helpful in calming your nervous system down without feeling drowsy or hungover.
