In this weeks episode we catch up with Dr Bill Andrews who happens not only to be a top age level ultra marathon athlete who has competed in literally hundreds of ultramarathons in his life time including some of the absolute toughest like the Badwater Ultramarathon and La Ultra - The High, two that I know well, but he is also a world leading longevity scientist who focuses his research mostly on telomeres and extending life span and health span. Telomeres are found at the tips of our chromosomes and have been shown, in thousands of scientific peer-reviewed studies, to be the clock of aging in humans. When telomeres get shorter, we get older, and our health declines. Dr Bill says that while telomeres may not be the single cure for ageing, we can't cure ageing without fixing the telomere shortening problem. Telomere attrition (shortening) is one of the known hallmarks of aging and Dr Bill shares in this insightful interview how we can: slow or even reverse ageing through the lengthening of our telomeres: how he discovered the worlds most powerful telomerase inducing substances. what we can expect in the near future and how we can harness this knowledge today what we can do from a lifestyle perspective to slow the shortening of our telomeres why lengthening telomere protects you from cancer rather than causing cancer as has been rumored in the past. what the longevity and anti-aging field doing today and how he believes that the many breakthroughs are already here or coming very soon. he elaborates on his life long mission to cure ageing and what he does personally to at age 72 to prevent the normal declines (hint - he still running 100 milers and going for an age group record in the next year or two. If you want to delay disease, decline and decrepitude then this is the podcast for you! As a scientist, athlete, and executive, Bill continually pushes the envelope and challenges convention. He has been featured in Popular Science, The Today Show, and numerous documentaries on the topic of life extension including, most recently, the movie The Immortalists in which he co-stars with Dr. Aubrey de Grey. See www.theimmortalists.com/watch. Bill is known for being a scientist first, focusing on scientific research, allowing others, instead, to market the products that his company discovers. Bill has been a medical researcher in biotech since 1981, focusing on cancer, heart disease, and inflammation research, while at Geron Corporation, Bill led the research to discover both the RNA and protein components of the human enzyme called telomerase. This enzyme is responsible for preventing telomeres from shortening in human reproductive cells, and this is why our children are born younger than we are even though they come from our old cells. Inducing this enzyme to lengthen telomeres in all our cells, not just our reproductive cells, to reverse aging and declining health due to aging, is the principal goal of Sierra Sciences and Sierra Holdings.

The longevity research world is exploding right now, it's so exciting and the technology is advancing in leaps and bounds and we are able now to discover faster than ever before thanks to AI and co to test more molecules that can impact human health than ever before in the history of mankind. What would have taken years now takes weeks or months. In this episode I talk to Michael Antonelli CEO and founder of Healthgevity. Michael is a master formulator who has spent decades in the anti-ageing and longevity space learning at the feet of many masters and who is at the forefront of working with companies at the cutting edge in peptide and bioactive ingredient development. All his formulations are science backed with clinical research and I was excited to learn about something of these novel molecules like Peptistrong, Astragin, Factor 21, NAD3, Ameal Peptide and many more. In this episode Michael walks us through some of the cutting edge molecules, what they do and how they impact various biological pathways to hopefully improve our healthspan and lifespan. If after listening to this episode you want to check out some of the range we now have in our shop. Click the links below: Ignite -Metabolic health and weightloss Ignite+ is an exclusive breakthrough formula combining the leading ingredients available to increase metabolism, improve insulin signaling, body composition, reduce uptake of glucose into our bodies, and so much more. One of the best ways to prevent insulin resistance is to help remove excess glucose from our blood. We are the first to pair these several effective glucose disposal agents together to target several vital pathways that regulate metabolic efficiency. Ignite+ is an advanced metabolic optimization formula whose ingredients have been shown to support: Reduction of adiposity and visceral fat* Increase thermogenesis by raising the metabolic rate and calorie burning* Browning of white adipose tissue* Diet-induced weight gain* Increase fatty acid oxidation* Ramp up ketone levels* Improves glucose tolerance and glucose control* AMPK activation* Leptin and ghrelin levels* Regulation of a healthy metabolism and mitochondrial health* Longevity Biological aging is directly impacted by physiological integrity. Muscle strength, mass, function, quantity, and quality loss are some of the main issues associated with the process of aging. As we age the performance of our muscle cells decline which leads to a weakened immune system, sarcopenia, obesity, and chronic disease among much more. Healthgevity has selected PeptiStrong™, Senactiv® and AstraGin® which are all clinically proven ingredients to put your muscles in the best position to thrive regardless of your age. In a recent study it was concluded that lower muscle strength in late adolescence showed direct connection with higher risk of chronic disease. As such, skeletal muscle might be the central integrator between sarcopenia, obesity, immune senescence and more in an aging biological system. Preserving muscle mass is critical for optimizing health span. Research shows the strongest one-third of the population over the age of 60 has a 50% lower death rate than the weakest, making muscle a key predictor of longevity. Recent discoveries of clinically proven 'growth promoting' ingredients have made the process of building and preserving muscle more obtainable. PeptiStrong™, Senactiv® and AstraGin® work synergistically to target multiple mechanisms, to provide a wide range of benefits in muscle health. CARDIO NAD+ Vascular health and aging are the most important health care problem in the world today. Healthy aging requires healthy arteries and a healthy heart. Cardio NAD+ is a state-of-the-art solution which uses the most novel ingredients available to help optimize cardiovascular health. As one of the most important systems in your body, we have designed this combination to be synergistic to the many different areas of cardiovascular health while demonstrating cardioprotective effects including the emerging connection between NAD+ and heart health. Featured Supportive Benefits: Improves net NAD+ status by supporting both its synthesis and limiting its degradation Supports healthy blood pressure Improves vascular aging and endothelial function Supports healthy fibrinolytic activity and clotting function Promotes healthy circulation and blood flow Inhibits platelet & red blood cell aggregation Decreases blood viscosity Supports clinical measures of inflammation Supports healthy blood sugar and insulin levels Inhibits lipid peroxidation Supports healthy lipid metabolism Demonstrated reduction in various independent cardiovascular risk factors Rejuvenate Cellular senescence is a hallmark of aging, it is a permanent state of cell cycle arrest induced by cellular stresses. This has numerous implications for the body, including its ability to adapt to changes in its environment, as well as its capacity to regenerate itself. This can be beneficial for i

In this weeks episode of "Pushing the Limits" the tables are turned on Lisa as she is interviewed by renown longevity expert, author of "The DNA way", past CEO of the DNA Company in Toronto, Kashif Khan. In this episode, Kashif and Lisa discuss the importance of knowing one's genetics in order to fully optimize your health, longevity, and rate of aging. Lisa's profile is the perfect example in this case. Lisa shares how she deals with oxidative stress, how she reverted her health into an optimal state, diet, lifestyle, and keeping her ageing rate to at 0.69 according the Trudiagnostic Dunedin Pace study, meaning she has one of the slowest rates of ageing in the world. Throughout the discussion, Lisa also shares one of her most memorable races, also known as the world's highest running race, where she battled through a series of trials, from hypoxic concussions to ripped ligaments to asthma attacks, to lack of oxygen from being at extreme altitude, fear, extreme temperatures, and everything else unimaginable while running/walking/crawling through 222km in the Himalayas at altitudes up to 5,800 metres.

This week on "Pushing the Limits" join me on this journey through cellular pathways and longevity as I delve into the inner workings of cells and their impact on your overall well-being. We start by unraveling the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway, responsible for regulating metabolism and maintaining cellular balance. We explore how AMPK senses energy levels and its activation benefits for cellular health and energy conservation. We then compare AMPK with another key player, mTOR, and discuss their roles in cellular health and highlight the differences between these pathways and their contributions to longevity. We will look at Autophagy, the cellular cleansing process, emphasizing its significance and its connections to both AMPK and mTOR pathways. The video concludes by discussing how balancing AMPK and mTOR pathways can lead to a longer and healthier life, touching on the secrets of healthy aging, autophagy-inducing supplements and the drug Rapamycin.

In this very funny, warm and enlightening episode with the very funny and skilled teacher, strength and conditioning coach, Phd candidate, author and broadcaster Craig Harper is all about understanding what drives your behaviours and how to get your brain to behave. We go deep into meta cognition Metacognition refers to the awareness and understanding of one's own thought processes, cognitive abilities, and the strategies used for learning or problem-solving. It involves thinking about one's thinking, reflecting on one's cognitive processes, and having the ability to monitor and control one's mental activities. At the end of the day, we all generally know what is good for us and what isn't - why then don't we always do the 'right thing", eat the right food, sleep when we should, exercise appropriately In this episode Craig shares in his very light hearted and funny way some very serious issues that we all face. How to actually do what we want to do How to stop our brain sabotaging our activities How to create constructive habits How to step outside your own thinking to evaluate what and why you are doing and feeling that way. This is an episode that will empower you, that will help you look at the what's really going on in your mind without judgment or guilt.

In this weeks episode of "Pushing the Limits" I interview one of the world's leading phytochemical and nutrigenomics researchers who specializes in sulforaphane. Todays episode is all about improving cellular health, the core of health, and how activating the Nrf2 pathway through such phytonutrients like Sulforaphane (the precursors of which Glucoraphanin and Myrosinase) are found in Broccoli sprouts and other cruciferous veggies. You will learn: How sulforaphane upregulates the Nrf2 pathway How the Nrf2 pathway acts as a master switch, turning on over 250 genes and impacting thousands of enzymes in their function. How the Nrf2 pathway upregulates the cells own intelligent endogenous antioxidant systems Why just throwing a bunch of antioxidants into the body doesn't work in quenching oxidative stress The impact of upregulating Nrf2 in relation to the gut How it has system wide implications Why probiotics don't colonize the gut like you think they do How probiotics (or certain strains) can still be useful in immune modulation Why you should have a food first approach The traps to watch out for when buying a 'sulforaphane' supplement and why most of the ones on the market are a waste of your time and money How long you should take it, typical dosing regimens, combinations with other phytonutrients and supplements. How to use this information to optimize your health Why it pays to work with one of Dr Christines trained G.E.M.M protocol trained clinicians Why some people have a reaction when they start, and why that means you need it most and how to adjust the dosing while not giving up BIO Dr Christine Houghton has enjoyed a fulfilling and varied career in Nutritional Medicine spanning more than 30 years — and her influential work continues to stay at the forefront of this rapidly evolving profession. As a clinician, author and educator, she is dedicated to promoting a model of health care that closely reflects the diet and lifestyle choices Mother Nature would choose herself. An individual's unique biochemistry is a significant contributor to this model. Christine's intense appreciation of the power of food as therapy began in the 1970s, an era when there were very few supplements available. With few other choices, she soon discovered the real power of food as a potent clinical intervention tool; to this day, she adopts a 'food first' philosophy. A decade into practice, she established a thriving multi-disciplinary practice, the Centre for Integrated Medicine near Brisbane. There, she specialized in musculoskeletal conditions, glucose-regulating disorders including type 2 diabetes and other cardio metabolic conditions, digestive health and infant and child health, especially those associated with immune dysfunction. Passionate about the relationship between nutrients, phytochemicals and cellular defenses, Christine subsequently engaged in research at the University of Queensland, earning her a PhD in Nutritional Biochemistry-Nutrigenomics. Christine is highly-regarded internationally as an expert in the clinical application of the broccoli-derived phytochemical, Sulforaphane in human health. As founding director of Cell-Logic, she has formulated a number of nutrigenomically-active supplements which are underpinned by her doctoral research. In addition to her scientific and other publications, Christine is the co-author of two evidence-based nutrigenomics courses: FOUNDATIONS IN NUTRIGENOMICS and ADVANCED TRANSLATIONAL NUTRIGENOMICS, both self-paced online courses for practicing clinicians and the only comprehensive courses of their kind available anywhere globally. A regular speaker at Australian and international conferences, Christine is an engaging speaker whose evidence-based presentations often challenge existing paradigms.

This week on "Pushing the Limits" I talk Mindset, resilience, the life of an athlete with the indomitable Tiffanee Cook - boxer, sexual abuse survivor, business owner, podcaster and all round vulnerable/tough chick. DING, DING, DING... No turning back now, hands encased in leather, mouth guard in and the world and everyone else in it faded into the background. Sights, sounds, thoughts, stories... gone. Blows, danger, failure, truth... standing toe to toe, bearing a soul not yet seen.8pm October 27, 2012 ROUND 1 Was this the first time she had truly 'let go', 29 years in? Over in both a heartbeat and yet an eternity rolled into one. Terror, adrenaline, fear, courage, isolation, trust, visibility and uncertainty. Yet ironically, a certainty she had never-before experienced. 'Letting go' wasn't what she'd dreamt it to be. Emerging with both hands now free to grab hold of a whole new reality. Perhaps she wasn't truly born in 1983, but rather in a ring in 2012. The referee clutched that now free left hand and raised it above her head. A stance that changed her forever. The underdog can come out on top... they don't even have to know the rules. One crazy 'say-yes' moment accidentally and deliberately changed the course of this girl's life. Through the gloom and darkness, a crack of light showed a path, a doorway she could and would eventually walk right through. Boxing was the playground that allowed Tiffanee Cook to develop the courage, grit, resilience, curiosity, vulnerability and power that had lay dormant within her and bend and twist it to her favor. The fight wasn't over on October 27, 2012... It had just begun, and she was now a force to be reckoned with. BIO Everyone has a plan, until they get punched in the face". Tiffanee Cook has learned this as a businesswoman, performance coach and boxer; from the comfort, predictability and safety provided by the corporate world, to the lessons and let-downs in and out of the boxing ring. Coming to the realization that, in order to have one's hand raised in triumph, adversity, discomfort and combat must be navigated. In the face of the messiness of life, do we fight or do we flee? Tiffanee speaks openly of her own personal experiences (good and bad) and how those experiences have enabled her to develop self-awareness, resilience, courage, independence and the skill to be able to maximize passion, possibilities and potential. She talks about getting knocked down (literally and metaphorically) and what it is that makes some of us get back up and some, stay down. Working in business, sport, high performance and personal development, Tiffanee explores a range of ideas, tools, skills, resources, philosophies and strategies to empower individuals, teams and organizations to improve everything from productivity, efficiency, culture and communication to physical, mental, emotional and social health.

When I was young, I was very heavy. I changed my eating to a healthier, lower fat, natural foods diet, and started exercising and I lost a lot of weight. Then when I was reaching my later teenage years, I was not happy being a 90 lb. weakling–in fact a 150 lb. weakling, so I started to weight train and and eat more protein and I put on muscle and became a succes

In this weeks episode I have the world leading expert on NITRIC OXIDE to guest Dr Nathan Bryan. Dr Bryan has published over 100 scientific papers on Nitric Oxide and is the author of FUNCTIONAL NITRIC OXIDE NUTRITION alongside 4 other books. Dr Bryan has made many seminal discoveries in the field. These discoveries and findings have transformed the development of safe and effective functional bioactive natural products in the treatment and prevention of human disease and provide the basis for new preventive or therapeutic applications. What does Nitric Oxide do in the body? Nitric oxide or NO is considered one of the most important molecules produced in humans. This simple molecule controls oxygen and nutrient delivery to every cell in the body, it regulates cellular communication and even has anti-microbial properties that protect our body from invading pathogens. In fact, this molecule is so important it was named "Molecule of the Year" by Science Magazine in 1992 and in 1998 a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to the three US Scientists responsible for its discovery. ADEQUATE NO PRODUCTION IS REQUIRED FOR OPTIMAL HEALTH AND DISEASE PREVENTION Loss of nitric oxide production is recognized as the earliest event in the onset and progression of most if not all chronic diseases, including the number 1 killer of men and women worldwide, cardiovascular disease. There are two ways the body normally makes NO. One is from the amino acid L-arginine. The enzyme that converts L-arginine into nitric oxide becomes dysfunctional. This is due to many factors including aging, oxidative stress, poor diet, lack of physical exercise, smoking, diabetes, high sugar diet, etc. The other pathway is from nitrate and nitrite found naturally in some foods. Each pathway contributes about 50% of the total NO production and one can compensate for the other. However, when NO production from both pathways becomes limiting, then that is when health problems start to occur. What you will learn in this interview: How our bodies produce nitric oxide and it's role as a signaling molecule that sets many cascade of reactions in the body Why mouth wash may be destroying your nitric oxide production and how that affects everything from blood pressure, to dementia to gut health to immune health to cardiovascular health. Why athletes will benefit from optimising their nitric oxide levels What the Nitric oxide synthase enzyme is and why it uncouples and what affects this has as we age. Endolethial dysfunction and it's connection to Nitric oxide Why topical use of Nitric oxide creams can prevent aging skin, wrinkles, rosacea and why how Dr Bryan used it on his father who has non healing skin wounds from being a paraplegic and how this led to his wound healing study trials and his skin care range that will revolutionize your skin care. What fluoride in the water does to our Nitric oxide status and it's affects on thyroid, as a neurotoxin and how it damages thyroid tissue. TEN FACTS ABOUT NITRIC OXIDE (NO) Nitric oxide is one of the most important molecules produced in the human body. NO is a potent vasodilator that keeps your arteries open and clean from plaque build-up. Nitric oxide is made by every cell in your body; however, production declined by 10-12% per decade starting in the early 20s. By age 40-50, we make only 50%. Loss of NO production is associated with all major cardiovascular risk factors. Prescription drugs, such as proton pump inhibitors, NSAIDS, and Cholesterol lowering Statin drugs block the production of NO Loss of NO production is due to the inability to convert L-arginine into NO so products that contain L-arginine or L-citrulline are not always effective at restoring NO production NO has been shown to support healthy lowering blood pressure. NO may help improve the aging function and make you feel younger. NO is responsible for blood vessel dilation in the sex organs and is critical for optimal sexual function. Foods like beets and green leafy vegetables are rich in nitrite and nitrate that can be converted to NO when consumed.

After a two year post-doctoral fellowship, in 2006 Dr. Bryan was recruited to join faculty at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston by Ferid Murad, M.D.,

As you age, your bones lose density.This leads to osteoporosis,falls and fractures. In this week's episodes I speak to Perry Eckert on bone strength and how to avoid,prevent and reverse bone loss through specific weight training using the "Osteostrong" model. In this episode you will learn: How to do a non-invasive, drug-free approach to help improve bone density and overall skeletal strength. Designed to benefit various age groups and backgrounds, particularly those at risk of osteopenia, osteoporosis, and other conditions related to low bone density. How to use nutrition to optimise your bone health Why balance is also important to consider How pilates and yoga, balance and strength training are part of the picture but why they just aren't enough to stop bone loss How hormones play a role in bone density How muscles help in your bone density strategy Risk factors for Osteoporosis and Osteopenia: Osteoporosis and osteopenia are conditions characterized by a decrease in bone density, which makes bones more fragile and susceptible to fractures. Several risk factors can increase the likelihood of developing these conditions. Here are the top 5 risk factors for osteoporosis and osteopenia: Age: Aging is one of the most significant risk factors for osteoporosis and osteopenia. As people get older, their bones naturally become less dense and more fragile. The risk increases significantly after the age of 50 for women and 70 for men. Gender: Women are more prone to osteoporosis and osteopenia than men. This is because women typically have lower bone density and undergo hormonal changes, especially during menopause, which accelerates bone loss. However, men can also develop these conditions, especially if they have other risk factors. Hormonal Changes: Hormonal imbalances can contribute to bone loss. For example, reduced estrogen levels in women during menopause and in men as they age can lead to decreased bone density. Conditions like hyperthyroidism or overactive thyroid and low levels of sex hormones in men (hypogonadism) can also increase the risk. Family History and Genetics: A family history of osteoporosis or fractures can be a significant risk factor. Genetics plays a role in determining bone density and structure, so if you have close relatives with these conditions, your risk may be higher. Lifestyle Factors: a. Dietary Choices: Inadequate intake of calcium and vitamin D, both essential for bone health, can increase the risk. Additionally, excessive caffeine or alcohol consumption may have a negative impact on bone density. b. Physical Activity: A sedentary lifestyle can contribute to bone loss. Weight-bearing exercises and resistance training help maintain bone density and strength. c. Smoking: Smoking has been linked to lower bone density and an increased risk of fractures. d. Low Body Weight: People with a low body mass index (BMI) are at higher risk because they often have less bone mass to start with. OsteoStrong builds upon the work of Julius Wolf (1836-1902), a German anatomist and surgeon who discovered that bones become thicker and stronger when subjected to repeated oesteogenic loading. Building on this scientific principle, known as Wolf's Law, Dr John Jaquish (a biomedical engineer) invented the Spectrum system which safely applies an osteogenic load of the precise level required to encourage the body's natural ability to rebuild stronger bones. These Spectrum patented devices are used exclusively by OsteoStrong centres worldwide as the cornerstone of this unique scientifically proven program. We support this regime with a range of recovery technologies to help build strength and balance naturally, which then has an impact on your wellbeing, vitality and energy.

Ever Wondered how well you were doing on the ageing front. Are the lifestyle interventions, the fitness regime, the supplements, the good foods that you're eating all making a difference to how fast you age? In this interview, Ryan Smith CEO of trudiagnostic takes me through my own personal age report, the exceptional, the good the bad and the ugly it's all here. We discussed DNA methylation, Dunedin pace study, immune age, extrinsic and intrinsic and even how my genes are in relation to obesity or whether smoking has been a part of my history (hint I have never smoked but my mum did during pregnancy and you can see that on my DNA methylation - wow) - mind you back then she was told it was healthy to smoke. Grrr. We look to the future and why these tests are going to be a crucial tool in your arsenal of interventions to slow ageing. By doing these tests regularly you can plot your trends, see how you are doing against your peers, compete against yourself, it's motivating to say the least. I was super excited that my pace of ageing is up there with the best in the world at .69 of a year for every year I live which shows that much of my extensive protocol is working although I am having to claw back earlier damages done as an extreme athlete, overtraining for decades. Hmm that wasn't healthy but I had a ball.

This is a powerful episode, its very raw and rather emotional but I have Aleisha Pienaar to guest who shares her story of her Dad who had a heart attack last year at the tender age of 53 and who was, after being revived, left fighting for his life in ICU. Aleisha had read my book "Relentless" and had attended one of my speeches where I talked about my Mum and Dad's stories, It was in her time of need that these stories became the catalyst for her to fight hard for her Dad. The ICU team were convinced her Dad would not wake up from the coma and that if he did, after having been without oxygen for 46 minutes, that his life would be not worth living and that the brain damage would be massive or he would be in a vegetative state. They were told they must take him off life support. Aleisha reached out and I encouraged her to fight, to be vigilant and not to give up when all others had. A couple of days after they were told to take him off life support her father incredibly, woke up and although his rehab was hard and rather long her Dad is now back full into life, working, exercising and enjoying his family again. I share too, my personal story of fighting for my Dad in ICU and how I was blocked at every turn from getting what I needed for him. Please note these are our very personal, real stories and your experiences may be very different but we want to share openly, the good, the bad and the very ugly of what we experienced and a message of empowerment and a message of not to give up too early. If I had my mum would also not be with us now. We hope by sharing this, we will help other families faced with similar situations, we also hope that it might initiate change in our system. I have a dream and that is to get a law change in NZ - to get "The Right to Try" law which is implemented in some states in the USA which basically says that if the doctors have no more answers and someone is dying that you can sign a waiver and try anything reasonable to save that person's life. I wanted that for my Dad, I was wanting intravenous vitamin C and thiamine as per the protocol of this study But I was blocked due to legal issues and I had to fight for 15 days against the ethics committee - all mind you, while my father was dying and they had nothing more to offer and while they were actively trying to get me to sign off on taking him off life support. I eventually won the right by finding a loophole that allowed Dad's GP to come in and administer it but by then he was in multiple organ failure and could die at any minute and despite that the very first infusion (which was only half of what I wanted) dropped his CRP in half, improved his kidney function and enabled them to take him of Noradrenaline but then we were blocked for 18 hours from getting him the next infusion and again the next infusion and by then - it was way too little and way too late and I was forced to take him off life support and they morphined him in front of my own eyes until he died. Now I am left not knowing if we had been allowed to do it from the very beginning whether his life could have been saved and quite openly I have been left severely traumatized from this experience. Some of the things I witnessed in there were horrifying, I don't and can't share all of what we went through but suffice to say I believe things could have been different had we been given a chance. BIO Aleisha and her husband, Emil, are based in Dunedin Otepoti, New Zealand. Aleisha is a full-time parent to two little girls, and Emil manages a rest home. They have a heart for people whose voices are not heard, and have invested time in humanitarian work in the Amazon Jungle, as well as local outreaches to those who struggle in their home city. With a strong mission-mindset, Aleisha and Emil are working towards creating more impact in their community. They have faced several medical challenges, including misdiagnosis of a now-irreversible medical condition, two miscarriages, as well as the very near loss of Aleisha's father to a heart attack. As a whanau, their desire is to raise awareness of complications in the medical field that can be addressed if caught early enough, and believe that if enough people are vulnerable and willing enough to share their story, we can see a change in the health care system that will bring a lot more happy endings. And now a summary of how your book and story helped us save my dad. Lisa spoke at a conference that Emil and I attended two years ago, sharing the story of how she rehabilitated her mother through determination, self-education, and persistence. In 2022, I found myself facing a similar situation, when my father suffered a catastrophic heart attack. In all the confusion and uncertainty, Lisa's story came to mind, and I knew I needed to get my hands on her book, "Relentless." I devoured the pages, reread my notes from the conference, and what I immediately saw was the importance of standing firm, comparmentalizing emotions, and taking the

In this weeks episode of "Pushing the Limits" Lisa gets to talk to a world leading anti-aging and longevity expert Dr Bill Lawrence who himself is 77 years old but has the telomere length (we explain what that aging biomarker in the show) of someone in their thirties. Dr. Lawrence has a Jurisprudence Degree (UCLA-Law), an MS in Psychology and a Ph.D. in Nutrition. Since 1990 his focus has been on slowing and reversing human biological aging. He has developed numerous science-based protocols focused on optimal aging for health professionals and individual clients. Presently Dr. Lawrence is the administrator of two clinical studies to determine if human biological age can be reversed in collaboration with Dr Vladimir Khavinson of the Saint-Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology Dr Lawrence shares in this episode a presentation of the current study data (note the trial is still ongoing) and the exciting proof we can now REVERSE aging and promote long and healthier lives and reduce our risk of morbidity and mortality using Bioregulators The science behind this is impressive and it's human trials. Dr Lawrence is reinforcing through his findings the research of Professor Khavinson who has been working on Bioregulators and doing the research on these for over 5 decades. I am excited to share this cutting edge information with you and to get going myself on the Bioregulators. BIO BILL LAWRENCE JD. MS, Ph.D. Dr. Lawrence is an American biogerontologist with a Jurisprudence Degree (UCLA-Law), an MS in Psychology, and a Ph.D. in Nutritional Science. For three decades, his focus has been human longevity research and interventions for optimal life and healthspan. He is the administrator of two Russian and American longevity clinical studies: Telomerase activation and DNA/Methylation modification. These studies use Khavinson Peptide Bioregulators developed by Prof. Vladimir Khavinson of the St. Petersburg Institute, for organ regeneration, mortality reduction and reversal of human aging biomarkers. In his presentation, Dr. Lawrence, as a scientist, will report clinical study data and, as an attorney, evidence confirming Peptide Bioregulators are the only proven interventions supported by human studies that accomplish the above. Dr. Lawrence is chronologically 77. His average telomere length, or "Cellular Age" is equivalent to a 23-year-old. His "Epigenetic Age" measured by the Horvath Epigenetic Clock (DNA/Methylation) reports a fifty percent reduction of all-cause mortality risk compared to his same-age peers.

In this weeks episode of "Pushing the Limits" we have the incredible Dr Matthew Phillips who calls himself a Metabolic Neurologist. After spending over 15 years studying and working in clinical practice with patients with neurodegenerative conditions and cancer etc he decided to extend. his approach from just using medications to manage the disease by diving into the study of the metabolic dysfunction that underlies many of these ailments or that contributes to these diseases. He uses these Metabolic Strategies as Therapies in Cancer and Neurodegeneration and is and has done various clinical trials using his approach His foremost passion is to explore the potential feasibility, safety, and efficacy of metabolic therapies, particularly fasting and ketogenic diets, in creating alternate metabolic states that enhance neuron bioenergetics and may lead to improvements in not only the symptoms, but also function and quality of life, for people with Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and a variety of additional neurological disorders. Upon completing his Neurology training in Melbourne, Dr. Phillips realised that he had no interest in going the usual route of further specialising in a particular neurological disorder. He wanted to specialise in a therapy, but no such fellowship existed. Thus, he bought a one-way ticket to the other side of the world and departed the medical system, travelling and working in different places for three years, creating his own self-taught fellowship during which he learned about a variety of therapeutic possibilities that he had never previously considered. Upon completing his 3-year "fellowship" it became apparent too him that metabolic strategies, particularly fasting and ketogenic diets, were promising therapeutic options for a range of disorders. He re-entered the medical system by commencing work as a neurologist in New Zealand, where his colleagues have helped him to apply these strategies to a number of humanity's most difficult neurological disorders so as to determine whether they are feasible, safe, and can make an impact in terms of helping patients. This has resulted in his team conducting a world-first randomised controlled study of a ketogenic diet in Parkinson's and he now has a study underway for Glioblastoma patients. The Canadian-born, Australian-trained neurologist ultimately wishes to help create a new field of Metabolic Neurology that emphasises applying metabolic strategies in healthcare so as to potentially heal many difficult disorders at their core, with the overarching goal being the improved health and enhanced nobility of humanity. In this episode you will learn: How fasting is a part of our evolutionary history and how it benefits us in modern day society. In a world we are led to believe we have to eat 3 to 6 times a day to stay healthy. What is a keto diet and how do we implement it We do a deep dive into mitochondria, what they are and how their function goes way beyond the traditional view of them as "powerhouses of the cell" only. What happens in the body when we fast or adopt a ketogenic lifestyle and. how it can help us with many disease processes from cancer to Multiple sclerosis to Parkinsons, Dementia, Alzheimers and more. The benefits he has experienced in his own N of one experiment The problems with "Germ Theory" and what "Terrain Theory" is How to build immune health through fasting Working within the limitations of the current medical paradigm How mitochondrial dysfunction precedes genetic mutations in disease processes and how we might address this. You can find out more about Dr Matthew Phillips work and current research, publications etc at https://www.metabolicneurologist.com/ BIO Matt is a clinical and research neurologist at Waikato Hospital, Hamilton, New Zealand. His foremost passion is to explore the potential feasibility, safety, and efficacy of metabolic strategies, particularly fasting and ketogenic diets, in creating alternate metabolic states that may benefit people with a variety of neurological disorders. His team conducted the world's first randomized studies in people with Parkinson's and people with a diagnosis of Alzheimer's. He is currently conducting a clinical trial that combines intensive fasting with a ketogenic diet alongside standard treatments in patients with glioblastoma.

In this week's episode of "Pushing the Limits" I interview the incredible Dr Ross Pelton AKA the Natural Pharmacist. Ross Pelton is a pharmacist, nutritionist, author and a health educator who is widely recognized as the world's leading authority on drug-induced nutrient depletions. He was named one of the top 50 most influential pharmacists in the United States by American Druggist magazine for his work in Natural Medicine. He is the author of 13 books including his latest one which we do a deep dive into today on Rapamycin and longevity science About the Book and what you will learn about in this episode (Disclaimer: none of this is medical advice, it is for educational purposes only) Rapamycin, mTOR, Autophagy and Treating mTOR Syndrome We discuss how the prescription drug rapamycin can increase longevity. After the discovery of rapamycin, scientists began conducting experiments in an effort to understand rapamycin's mechanism of action. This led to the discovery of mTOR, which in turn, led to the understanding of how mTOR and autophagy regulate cellular metabolism and ultimately, the health and life of all living things. The discovery of rapamycin resulted in scientific studies that have enabled scientists to gain a totally new understanding of the aging process and how we might use this new information. The topics in this book are collectively one of the most important breakthroughs in the science of life extension that has ever been discovered. Discovery of Rapamycin: Strain of bacteria named Streptomyces hygroscopicus Discovered from a soil sample taken from Easter Island Exhibited anti-proliferative properties The bacterium was discovered from a soil sample taken during a scientific expedition to Easter Island in 1964. The purpose of that expedition was to search for new compounds that might express antifungal and/or antibiotic properties. Rapamycin expressed strong antifungal activity. However, efforts to develop rapamycin as an antifungal drug were discontinued when it was discovered to have potent immunosuppressive activity. Rapamycin also exhibited anti-proliferative properties, which prompted scientists to send samples of rapamycin to the National Cancer Institute (NCI). Tests conducted there revealed two remarkable findings. The first revelation was that rapamycin suppressed the growth in a variety of solid tumors. Rapamycin's Mechanism of Action Over the past 25 years, research into rapamycin's mechanism of action has resulted in the discovery of a new understanding of cellular biology and the aging process. This research has revealed that two mechanisms named mTOR and autophagy, which are found inside every cell, are critical regulators of cellular metabolism. Breakthrough: Rapamycin's Use in Humans A groundbreaking study titled mTOR inhibition improves immune function in the elderly was published that ushered in the era of rapamycin use in humans. The study was conducted by Joan Mannick, MD, who was a senior scientist at Novartis. In addition to being a human clinical trial, Mannick's study is important because it sheds light on WHY and HOW rapamycin can be used safely and effectively in humans to slow down the onset of age-related diseases and increase lifespan and healthspan.

In this episode of "Pushing the Limits" I interview the founder and inventor the QRI Laser Bonnie Brandes a former teacher of children with learning disabilities, autism, down syndrome, dyslexia, ADHD, cerebral palsy who discovered the benefit of reintegrating primitive reflexes and the help and relief this bought the children and their families. Bonnie then went on a journey to do it quicker and better and rather than just using touch and acupuncture she ended up inventing a device to combine low. level cold lasers with sound therapy and acupuncture called the QRI Laser. I have been exploring the use of this device in my mum Isobel's rehabilitation journey as I became aware after studying some of the reflexes she was exhibiting and ways to reintegrate them. In this episode you will learn: What are primitive reflexes and how they are the building blocks for our neurological development in early childhood and how sometimes these reflexes don't get integrated when they should and the implications of this. We learn that primitive reflexes are automatic, involuntary reactions to stimuli such as sound, touch or movement that are essential for survival and development in the womb and in the first few month so of life. How reflexes support the development of higher brain centers that control muscle tone, movement, sensory integration, cognition and learning skills. They also promote psychological development and behavior. How as we get older, unintegrated reflexes may trigger the "fight or flight" response and how this can lead to a stress behavior pattern of response. How incomplete integrated can contribute to ADHD, autism, learning delays, reading and writing difficulties, language and speech delays, coordination difficulties, hypotonic and hypertonic muscles, poor endurance and fatigue. We learn how this can also affect stroke, aneurysm, concussion victims as well as children. Reflex integration opens the door to new possibilities and provides hope for both children and adults to reach their potential.

This week episode of "Pushing the Limits" Lisa interviews internationally recognized expert in the mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases, Dr. Dale Bredesen. Alzheimer's disease is one of the most significant global health threats we face today. It is an ailment that, as our population ages, is forecasted to become a worldwide epidemic. To understand the magnitude of the problem, the COVID-19 pandemic has already led to the death of over one million Americans, however, 50 times more of the currently living Americans let alone the rest of the world— nearly 50 million — will die of Alzheimer's disease if effective prevention and reversal are not implemented. Mainstream medicine would have you believe that it can't be prevented, is untreatable, and is progressive, with most patients not surviving beyond three to eleven years post-diagnosis. After having spent myself 8 years researching brain rehabilitation in the effort to save my mum after an aneursym, stroke, multiple concussions, small vessel ischemic disease and brain cancer I know Professor Bredesen's work to be at the very cutting edge and that his programme approach really the only way to go. In this episode you will learn the different types of alzheimer's the many causes of alzheimers and neurodegeneration how to take a holistic programme approach to recovering your brain why you should get a "cognoscopy" how to get on active prevention stories of the first survivors of alzheimers discussions on the role of toxins, viruses, pathogens, hormones, trophic support, insulin resistance, ketones, adjunctive therapies and more This is an episode that could literally save your brain, the quality of your life or that of a loved one so don't miss it If you want to learn more about brain rehabilitation and the role hyperbaric oxygen therapy plays listen also to this episode with my mum Isobel. https://www.lisatamati.com/podcast--cushla-young-2/ Dr. Dale Bredesen Bio Dr. Dale Bredesen Changing the world of Alzheimer's Disease Research An internationally recognized expert in the mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases, Dr. Dale Bredesen's career has been guided by a simple idea: that Alzheimer's as we know it is not just preventable, but reversible. Dr. Bredesen's dedicated pursuit of the science that makes this a reality has placed him at the vanguard of neurological research and led to the discoveries that today underlie the ReCODE Protocol™. Dr. Bredesen earned his M.D. from Duke University Medical Center and served as Chief Resident in Neurology at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), before joining Nobel laureate Stanley Prusiner's laboratory at UCSF as an NIH Postdoctoral Fellow. He held faculty positions at UCSF, UCLA, and the University of California, San Diego. Dr. Bredesen also directed the Program on Aging at the Burnham Institute before joining the Buck Institute in 1998 as founding President and CEO. Dr. Bredesen's research explores previously uncharted territory in explaining the physical mechanism behind the erosion of memory seen in Alzheimer's disease, and has opened the door to new approaches to treatment. This work has led to the identification of several new therapeutic processes that are showing remarkable early results. Dr. Bredesen is a prodigious innovator in medicine, with over thirty patents to his name. Notably, he put much of his findings and research into the 2017 New York Times' Best-Seller, The End of Alzheimer's. His most recent book, The First Survivors of Alzheimer's, presents the stories of seven individuals who reversed their cognitive decline using the ReCODE Protocol.

This week I had a luminary in the longevity and anti-aging medicine field to guest, Phil Micans is the editor of Aging Matters Magazine and Founder of IAS Group for Anti-Aging. He is an expert in many areas of longevity but todays main topic was Bioregulator Peptides, an incredibly exciting continuation to our series on Peptide therapies. A bioregulator peptide is a short chain of amino acids that functions as a regulatory molecule in biological systems. These peptides are typically derived from natural sources, such as organs, tissues, or other biological substances, and they play a role in modulating various physiological processes in the body. Bioregulator peptides are believed to work by selectively binding to specific target cells or receptors, triggering specific cellular responses and signaling pathways. They can act as messengers to regulate and optimize the functioning of various organs and systems. I am super excited about these "Gene Switches" - signalling molecules that help our cells and organs "act" and "behave" in a younger fashion. Regulating our organs and their signaling molecules in a way that has hardly any side effects. Bioregulators work by supporting and optimizing the body's natural regulatory processes, while pharmaceuticals are designed to specifically target and manipulate disease pathways which can be great but also can have many side effects. In this interview with Phil we discuss the 21 types of Bioregulators and their research history which goes back to the cold war days in Russia, the KGB and the Kremlin through to today and the American Researchers who are diving further into the research. It's one hell of a story. We also discuss other breakthroughs in this longevity space, top researchers and doctors to watch out for and much more in this exciting episode. If after listening you are keen to find out more about Bioregulators or to get your hands on some you can go here As always consult your medical professional before taking any supplements.

In this week's episode of "Pushing the Limits I had the privilege of interview world renown cancer researcher Professor Thomas Seyfried the author of over 150 peer reviewed publications and the author of the book "Cancer as a Metabolic Disease" For 30 years Professor Seyfried has been in the trenches as a geneticist and biochemist studying cancer cells and working out the intricacies of how to stop them proliferating. He says there are two primary fuels that cancer cells use in their abhorrent metabolism, Glucose and Glutamine and that if we can cut the fuel supply of these two things to the cancer cells we have a powerful non toxic way of killing cancer cells. He and colleagues designed the Press-pulse: a novel therapeutic strategy for the metabolic management of cancer and in this interview we dive into his latest research and what you can do if you have cancer or want to lower your chances of getting cancer.

In this weeks episode of "Pushing the Limits" Dr Sharik Peck introduces us to his invention the Rezzimax Pain Tuner Pro II From Stroke, to TBI, autism to migraines, vagal nerve support. From TMJ to stress reduction. This device is incredible. Dr Peck designed this for his own problems, he broke his neck as a two year old and ongoing issues then at a teenager he suffered a major stroke and was left debilitated and unable to walk and spent years rehabilitating himself. He then went onto becoming a physio and started studying the use of vibrational technologies to support healing via the nerves. From the Vagal nerve to the nerves on our arms and legs, neck, jaw and skull. I became aware of the Rezzimax after a neurotherapist friend Dr Harris recommended it for my mum. We were struggling with the after math of the stroke and paralysis, spasticity and fastination on the right side of her body that impairs her walking and balance and have now started to integrate this therapy into her daily regime.

In this weeks episode of "Pushing the Limits" Lisa interviews Skin Expert Debbi Barber. Never before on the show have I ever discussed skin care. It's not an area I have focused on but when I heard about Debbi Barber I had to interview her. For me as a woman in her mid fifties who has thrashed the hell out of her body and run thousands of kilometers across deserts I have given my skin a hard hard time and recently I have started seeing the signs of some of that damage and age. Now I am not the type to spend a fortune on looks, I work more on the inside than the outside but my few wrinkles and crepey skin was starting to get me down. Enter Debbi Barber and Vitali Pro-Aging Skin Care and the amazing world of peptides. Now you know if you follow this show I am deep in the weeds on peptides and love this field of medicine and when I came across a peptide called GHK-Cu I was sold it does so much for the body when taken systemically but then I found Debbi had it in her skin care range along with a number of other amazing ingredients and I had to try it and I am super excited about the results Debbie Barber Bio: Debbi is 67 years old and came out of retirement to produce this incredible range using peptides and carefully sourced ingredients because she needed it.

In this weeks episode of "Pushing the Limits" Lisa interviews the Co-founder of Trudiagnostic and previous founder of Tailor Made Compounding who make peptides. Ryan Smith is an expert in both peptides and the Epigenetic age testing. In this episode we dive deep into both of these critical areas in the longevity science game. Learn what peptides do in the body, what they are and how they work and how you can use them to get your health on track. Then we dive into the world of Biological age clocks. Not your chronological age but how are you aging on the inside independent of how many trips around the sun you made. Having the ability to track, measure and optimize our biological age is the most game changing and innovative approach to biohacking and optimization the world has ever seen. It is also a sign the future of specialized health care is within reach. TruDiagnostic is a revolutionary new tool that allows us to measure an unprecedented amount of data providing full access and control to one's aging and health. The biological age test developed by Tru Diagnostic is set to change how we measure health and ultimately, how we can improve it. What you will learn in this episode: * What is Tru Diagnostic? * How is it going to forever change the integrated health space? * Where can this technology go, and how does the data it provides empower us? In this episode, Ryan Smith from Tru Diagnostic talks about why this development is going to be so revolutionary. Biological Aging is only the first step. Trudiagnostic has leveraged data generated in the largest private epigenetic database in the world to create tools that look at specific methylation to detect changing disease risk. They are already running clinical trials with products that claim to reduce aging, to see if they're really as effective as they say they are. They work with universities and top scientists from around the world to create new methods of epigenetic identification, new algorithms, and expanding what was once an epigenetic testing lab into a full multi-omic suite. You can get your biological age testing done and leverage the insights to improve your future. Reach out to us at [email protected] if you are interested in getting tested.

In this week episode Lisa interviews world renown stem cell scientist Dr Christian Drapeau on the power of stem cells to heal the body and how we can mobilise many more of these stems cells from our bone marrow through the use of specific botanicals that have been clinically shown to do just that and how people suffering from a myriad of disease all have one thing in common and that is low circulating levels of stem cells. We dive into the fascinating world of stem cell science and you will learn: * The types of stem cells there are * The various use cases for the different stem cells * The history of embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells. * The botanical discoveries he made that have shown to mobilise your own stem cells without needing invasive procedures that harvest your own stem cells from bone marrow or fat *Lifestyle interventions shown to improve stem cell mobilisation and other habits that are detrimental to your stem cell supply. * we dive into many stories giving insight to the mechanisms of actions, case studies that are astounding from burns victims healing 50 year old scars to diabetics getting off insulin, to heart repair, brain repair and more. * we dive too into the clinical research he and others have done Dr Christian is the author of "Cracking the Stem Cell Code" and is a tireless advocate for sharing this powerful and world changing information. If after listening to this show you want to try STEMREGEN, Dr Christian's product you can go to and use code "Lisa" for a discount off your purchase and check back in Lisa's own anti-aging shop as she will soon have STEMREGEN in stock at www.shop.lisatamati.com [1] Dr Drapeau says "Our health industry calls for a new paradigm… One where we exit the disease-based model of care and enter a model based on maintaining optimal health. To fully embrace this new approach, we must first understand the process by which our body maintains health of its own accord. Through years of research, we have discovered that adult stem cells are the building blocks of this process, and we have discovered plants capable of tapping into the healing potential of adult stem cells in order to support our highest potential for vibrant health." ~Christian Drapeau, MSc Stem Cell scientist Botanical researcher Author Dr Christian Drapeau Bio Christian Drapeau is a pioneer in Adult Stem Cell research and has attained global recognition for his nutraceutical applications in the fields of regenerative medicine and wellness. Christian Drapeau holds a degree in Neurophysiology from the Montreal Neurological Institute, affiliated with McGill University in Montreal, Canada. He has been the Chief Science Officer for Cell Tech, Desert Lake Technologies, and Stemtech International. He is currently a member of the Scientific Advisory Board for Jeunesse Global and the President/CEO of Kalyagen where he continues his work of Research & Development, investigating novel stem cell enhancers. The natural role of stem cells in the body as the foundation of the body's daily repair and tissue regeneration system was first described in Christian's book Cracking the Stem Cell Code (2010). A new edition was published in 2021 presenting all the data on plant-based stem cell enhancers, along with descriptions of cases showing remarkable recovery using natural stem cell enhancers to support Endogenous Stem Cell Mobilization (ESCM). Working on the aquatic botanical Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA), in the late 1990's, and observing that consumption of AFA was leading to benefits touching many aspects of human health, Christian Drapeau proposed that bone marrow stem cells constitute the natural repair system of the body and that AFA's mechanism of action consisted in supporting stem cell release from the bone marrow. Work done later confirmed these two hypotheses. In essence, he has delineated how the bone marrow releases adult stem cells into the bloodstream to carry out the daily task of tissue repair within all bodily systems, and that the most important parameter in this natural ability to repair is the number of circulating stem cells. More stem cells in circulation has been linked to greater health, and conversely fewer circulating stem cells has been linked to disease formation. This finding has profound implications for every area of regenerative medicine, from disease treatment and prevention to anti-aging. He also discovered that the aquatic botanical AFA works in the body by stimulating stem cell mobilization (release) from the bone marrow. By increasing the number of circulating stem cells, more stem cells are available to participate to the process of tissue repair and renewal.

In this weeks episode we go down the rabbit hole of molecular hydrogen water with Alex Tarnava founder of Drinkhrw HYDROGEN WATER BENEFITS SIMPLIFIED Molecular hydrogen tablets are one of the most promising preventative aging supplements on the market. With over 1500 publications on potential hydrogen water benefits in 170 disease models throughout every organ, H2 tablets have been shown to indirectly mitigate the damages of the Big 3—those nasty three issues that lead to virtually all diseases and are the driving forces in why we get older and die: Imbalances of our oxidative stress, inflammation, and increased insulin resistance. PROTECT YOUR BODY RECOVER RAPIDLY OVERALL ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE H2 enhances the healing mechanisms of every single joint, muscle, tendon, and ligament in your body to help protect against overuse-related injuries, such as stress fractures, sprains, strains and tears. Regulating redox, which is our body's natural balance between beneficial oxidative species and our own production of antioxidants, and the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines back into balance by supplementation with H2 is like adjusting your car's timing to enhance horsepower and gas mileage. It may not fix what is already broken, but it goes a long way to improving the remaining performance. A daily Molecular Hydrogen regimen promotes antioxidant/oxidative balance via activation of the Nrf2 pathway. It ONLY works when this system is not in harmony, making it the most reliable way to tackle oxidative stress.

This week I have my very good friend and world renown cellular health expert, longevity specialist and orthopedic surgeon Dr Elizabeth Yurth (MD, ABPMR, ABAARM, FAARM, FAARFM, FSSRP) of the Boulder Longevity Institute to guest. Locked away in a vault somewhere deep inside the Boulder Longevity Institute lies the secret everyone wishes they could get their hands on – the supplement routine of Dr. Elizabeth Yurth. As Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer of BLI, clients and non-clients alike long to know what perfect blend of supplementation Dr. Yurth uses. Someone in this position must have it down pat! Well, the disappointing answer is: One size does not fit all. What suits the current lifestyle, biology, and needs of Dr. Yurth may be a far cry from the needs of other individuals. We are all unique, and alas, so are our supplement requirements. However Dr. Yurth does offer an overview of supplements that are beneficial to virtually everyone. The areas of cell membrane, gut, and mitochondrial health are key focus points when it comes to more generalised selection of appropriate supplements. For those who are looking to reach a solid baseline that promotes health and longevity, these daily supplements could be the answer. As always, we remind that every individual is different, and you should consult with a physician before starting any new health routines. Dr. Elizabeth Yurth Bio Elizabeth Yurth, MD is Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer of Boulder Longevity Institute, where she has been providing Tomorrow's Medicine Today to her clients since 2006. Dr. Yurth obtained her Medical Degree from the University of Southern California Keck School of Medicine, completed her residency at the University of California – Irvine, and her Fellowship in Sports and Spine Medicine from Stanford-affiliated Sports Orthopedics and Rehabilitation (SOAR) in Palo Alto, CA. Along with her 30 years as a practicing orthopedist specializing in sports and spine medicine, Dr. Yurth has made it her mission to learn and share the latest scientific research on how to truly heal the body at the cellular level. She is Fellowship trained in Anti-Aging, Regenerative, and Cellular Medicine and has completed +500 hours of CME training focused on Longevity, Nutrition, Epigenetics, Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy, Regenerative Peptide Treatments, and Regenerative Orthopedic Procedures. You can reach out to Dr Yurth and her team at www.boulderlongevity.com We would love you to also check out our curated range of longevity supplements in our online store. Lisa went out into the world to find the very best available supplements for her own family and now has bought this curated collection to her audience.

In this weeks episode Lisa interviews Dr Emily Werner nutritionist to the Philadelphia NBA Basketball team and consultant for Timeline Nutrition who produced Mitopure which contains a super excited molecule that you need to know about if you are into anti-aging One of the hallmarks of aging and at the base of much disease is the dysfunction of mitochondria, the little powerhouses in our cells that literally produce the energy we need to live. As we age or after stresses like viruses, too much exercise, toxins etc we get more dysfunctioning mitochondria and this leads to fatigue, and the breaking down of our health on a cellular level that affects everything we do. Urolithin A (UA) is a little-known nutrient that is starting to garner a lot of well-deserved attention. Numerous studies are being released demonstrating its powerful effect on muscle health and longevity. UA's benefit to health is due to its ability to stimulate mitophagy, the process by which older, dysfunctional mitochondria get recycled into more efficient, healthier mitochondria. Urolithin A is not found directly in the food we eat. It is a postbiotic, meaning that the bacteria in our gut convert plant compounds (called polyphenols) into UA. Regularly eating foods high in these specific polyphenols supplies your microbiome with the precursors it needs to generate UA. In this interview you will learn What is Urolithin A How is produced naturally in the body What super foods contain this molecule Why only 30% of people can actually make this postbiotic in their microbiomes What dosage is required to effect mitophagy What mitophagy is and why is it important The role of mitochondrial health in longevity The clinical research going into the effects of this molecule - human and animal trials If you want to get your hands on this amazing supplement use this code to get a 5% discount https://www.timelinenutrition.com/?rfsn=6986640.1a46c4 use cod LISA at checkout For those in the NZ or outside the states you will need to have a US address to have it sent out.

Dr Stephanie Venn-Watson and. husband physician Dr Eric Venn-Watson are one hell of a dynamic duo out to save the planet one person at a time and they started out by helping dolphins live longer. What started as a surprising discovery to protect dolphins' health has become a growing movement to restore our body's C15:0 levels, support our long-term health, and perhaps even slow aging. The groundbreaking discoveries around C15:0's healthy aging benefits have been featured as a TEDx talk, a Fast Company World Changing Idea, and now––a shout out in The New York Times Science section! Amazing! Wait - what is C15:0? Well in this episode we dive into just that very topic. C15:0 (aka pentadecanoic acid) is a healthy, odd-chain saturated fatty acid naturally found in whole fat dairy, as well as some fish and plants. C15:0 is the first essential fatty acid to be discovered since omega-3, which was over 90 years ago. Because pure C15:0 has been shown to have 3x the cellular benefits of the highest performing omega-3, C15:0 is emerging as the essential, essential fatty acid. Numerous peer-reviewed studies have shown that people with higher C15:0 levels have better metabolic, heart, immune and liver health. Unfortunately, our C15:0 levels naturally decline as we age. But I thought fats were bad? Society spent a generation avoiding fat. But what does the science say? Join us in. this episode to find out why your cells will age slower with Fatty15. If after listening you are keen to get your hands on some you can grab it through this link fatty15.pxf.io/ORV41W More facts on Fatty15 Fatty15 is a science-backed, award-winning C15:0 supplement that supports your long-term health & wellness.* Fatty15 delivers whole body and mind health at the cellular level C15:0 is the first essential fatty acid to be discovered since the omegas—over 90 years ago. Fatty15 contains a pure, patented, award-winning, C15:0 powder called FA15™. Fatty15 has 3X more cellular benefits than the purest, highest performing omega-3 (EPA). More cellular benefits than omega-3. Fatty15 and EPA share 10 common clinically relevant benefits. However, fatty15 has an additional 26 benefits EPA doesn't. More cell types repaired.
