In this weeks episode of "Pushing the Limits", the topic of todays show is Hormone Optimisation for men and women. We dive deep into the myths surrounding hormone optimisation and the benefits of it and delivery methods and what to avoid. We discuss the obesity epidemic and it's influence on hormones and our exposure to estrogens in the environment and the affects this can have. We also discuss my favorite topic peptides - discussing Jay's favorites for uses from weight loss to cognitive function to immune support to mitochondrial function. You can download the peptide cheat sheet and his  course  here BIO Jay Campbell was  a competitive HS athlete in Baseball, Soccer and Basketball, Jay played collegiately for Georgia Southwestern University  While playing competitive men's league basketball at 29 in Southern California, he was kicked in the testicles leading him to a miraculous journey of self exploration where he found the wonderful and transformative power of therapeutic testosterone. Over the next 15 years, Jay taught himself everything there was to know about using therapeutic testosterone via the experience of multiple delivery systems, consulting as a patient with various doctors, interpreting scientific studies and massive individual self  experimentation and tinkering. He became his own meticulous lab rat and bio-hacker in a world where science and clinical expertise was deeply limited if not non-existent outside of the body building and performance  enhancement circles. In 2010 through 2014 Jay competed in the inaugural men's physique division of the NPC where he won multiple first place overall trophies. At the encouragement of his peers, friends and professionals who marveled at his physique and his comprehensive knowledge and mastery of human performance optimization, he wrote his first book The TRT MANual in 2014. The TRT MANual and his second book on Hormonal Optimization The TOT Bible are the #1 5 STAR rated books of all time on Hormonal Optimization. He is the author now of 7 books and runs the "Jay Campbell Podcast" a hugely successful show in the states. https://jaycampbell.com/   Personalised Health Optimisation Consulting with Lisa Tamati Lisa offers solution focused coaching sessions to help you find the right answers to your challenges.

This week I interview longevity queen, Dr Sandra Kaufmann the author of the Kaufmann Protocol and Aging Solutions. Dr Sandra is the head of department of Anesthesiology at  and just happens to be obsessed with longevity science. What started out as her own search to slow and reverse ageing turned into a comprehensive system that allows people to personalize their own regime to their particular set of problems or needs and goals. This ingenious system has revolutionized my approach and makes it so simple to construct a very personalized approach. There are innumerable things a person can read concerning aging, but at the most basic level, organisms age because their component cells age. We are all made of cells or cell products and as they falter, so do we. Because cell aging is multifactorial, the organization of these concepts is important. The Protocol organizes these various theories of cellular aging into seven categories or tenets. The information in this podcast discusses these concepts in the language of science. The following seven tenets encompass all of the presently known modes of cellular aging.  Based on this organizational scheme, Dr Kaufman then developed a strategy where aging is curtailed in every category.   The 7 Tenets are as follows: DNA alterations (telomere attrition, epigenetics) Mitochondrial failure Pathways (Sirtuins, AMP Kinase, mTOR) Quality control (DNA & Protein repair mechanisms and Autophagy) Immune and inflammatory systems Individual cell needs (Senescent, Stem cells) Waste management (Glycation, lipofuscin) Dr Kaufman explains her rating system for various longevity molecules and how to utilize these in your protocols. We also discuss many of the supplements and adjuvants that Dr Kaufmann recommends for each of these tenets and we look at other cutting edge regenerative modalities like Exosomes.  Stem cells are fantastic in terms of longevity, however there are limitations. Exogenous stem cells are currently not available in this country. Meanwhile, autologous stem cells are only as healthy as the person they which they come. Exosomes, on the other hand, constitute up to 80% of the benefits seen with stem cells and are available through Dr Kaufmann in the United States at least,  in addition to being less expensive. I highly recommend Dr Kaufman's books, these are major reference book that will serve those looking to optimise their health, performance and longevity.

Turning to medicine, she received her medical Degree at the University of Maryland, and completed a residency and fellowship at Johns Hopkins in the field of pediatric anesthesiology. For the last five years she has been the Chief of Pediatric Anesthesia at the Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital, a nationally recognized center of excellence. Most recently, she was recognized as "Best in Medicine" by the American Health Council. Her avid interest in the science of anti-aging began many years ago as an intense hobby. Utilizing her knowledge in cell biology, human pharmacology and physiology, this hobby has now become a main focus. The project represents years of non-clinical research leading to the first, ever, comprehensive theory of aging.   Personalised Health Optimisation Consulting with Lisa Tamati Lisa offers solution focused coaching sessions to help you find the right answers to your challenges.

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.
