In this episode, Alex sits down with Angela Foster — award-winning nutritionist, high-performance health coach, and host of the High Performance Health podcast — to unpack the 7 daily habits she credits with transforming her health (and helping her test with a significantly “younger” biological age). They explore her journey from corporate law and burnout to recovery, and break down the foundations that matter most: daily movement, strength training, VO₂ max, protein + plants, omega-3s, consistent sleep timing, and the overlooked power of purpose, connection, and nature.
