Pushing The Limits

In this weeks episode of "Pushing the Limits" I interview one of my idols in the world of health optimisation medicine, hyperbaric oxygen therapy and cellular health Dr Scott Sherr, a repeat guest to the show. In this episode we go deep into the benefits of: Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, what it does, the pathways it affects from: Stem cell production to inflammation downregulation to lymphatic support to angiogenesis We discuss the health issues this powerful therapy can benefit  We discuss protocols, the different types of chambers and pressures and how to build a foundational health protocol around the person's treatment.  We also do a deep dive into one of my favorite research subjects at the moment - Methylene Blue and it's myriad of effects in the body and how it may help support:  energy production by bypassing the first two complexes in the electron transport chain in the mitochondria what ailments it may help with from alzheimers and cognitive declines to TBI to UTI's to depression to athletic performance to carbon monoxide poisoning, mitochondrial dysfunction to malaria and it's use as the world's first antibiotic and more   We dive into it's long history and where the current science stands on this exciting compound.  We look at how it has a biphasic response curve and how it works as both an antioxidant and pro oxidant and why pharmaceutical grade is crucial. Then we dive into the GABA system and how it affects recovery and sleep and formulations that support this system besides taking actual GABA that alone doesn't cross into the blood brain barrier.  We also discuss Dr Scott's and Dr Ted Achacoso's non profit educational arm https://homehope.org/ where doctors and practitioners can advance their learning in the holobiont. They provide the framework for doctors and health care practitioners to learn how to optimize their clients' health, rather than treat disease. Health Optimization Medicine (HOMe) was founded in the Philippines by Dr. Theodore Achacoso after realizing that illness medicine, in which he is trained and excels as an interventional neuroradiologist and pharmacologist, was reactive, interventional, and could benefit from an entirely different approach: one that optimized health rather than treated disease. Over several years, he became an expert in the intricacies and power of metabolomic, gut, and hormone optimization, along with the additional pillars of what became HOMe.  How to find Dr Scott and his work  You can visit Dr Scott's hyperbaric oxygen therapy clinics at  https://www.hyperbaricmedicalsolutions.com Visit his supplement company Troscriptions where they have formulations including methylene Blue among others here You can use the code LISA  His hyperbaric educational company One Base Health here Transcription products from Dr Scotts company are not available for New Zealanders unfortunately however if you are interested in getting methylene Blue please reach out to us directly at support@lisatamati.com   BIO  Dr. Scott Sherr is a Board Certified Internal Medicine Physician Certified to Practice Health Optimization Medicine (HOMe) and a specialist in Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT).  He graduated Summa Cum Laude from UCLA as an undergraduate and Magna Cum Laude with Alpha Omega Alpha distinction from the University of Maryland Medical School. Dr. Scott is the founder of HOMe-SF, the first HOMe clinic in the United States, and is also the Chief Operating Officer of Health Optimization Medicine and Practice (HOMe/HOPe)–USA, a nonprofit education company. The HOMe/HOPe essential certification (plus two advanced modules in Peptides and Cannabis) teaches doctors and healthcare practitioners how to detect and correct the root causes of health, not disease.  In addition, Dr. Scott is also COO of Smarter Not Harder, the for-profit arm of HOMe/HOPe.  SNH is the company behind Troscriptions, a line of buccal troches that are Democratizing Enlightenment by addressing the bottlenecks along the path to optimal health. They have several products on the market including Blue Cannatine, Just Blue, Tro Calm, and Tro Zzz Dr. Scott's clinical practice includes HOMe as its foundation plus an integrative approach to hyperbaric oxygen therapy that includes cutting-edge and dynamic HBOT protocols, comprehensive laboratory testing (using the HOMe framework), targeted supplementation, personal practices, synergistic technologies (new and ancient), and more.   Dr. Scott lives in Louisville, CO with his wife and his 4 children.   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 dive into a topic that is close to my heart after watching the pain and suffering my mum went through and the complications and difficulties she has had after falling in her bedroom one day and breaking her hip.   This experience of course led me deep into the research on osteoporosis and in todays video/podcast we cover  What osteoporosis is and what osteopenia is  How is it diagnosed  What drugs are used to to treat it - the good, the bad and the ugly of these What exercises you can do to stave off osteoporosis and reverse bone loss What nutrient deficiencies or diseases can lead to osteoporosis  What supplements can reverse and or slow bone loss The role of different hormones in osteopororsis  The role of nutrition in osteoporosis  What medications can cause osteoporosis  What lifestyle factors can lead to osteoporosis Who is more at risk for osteoporosis. General info on osteoporosis  Loss of Bone Mass Density Dexa Scan T-score  -1.0 to -2.5 is Osteopenia                     T-score  less than -2.5 is Osteoporosis Bone is 40-50% inorganic component (hydroxyapatite), 10-15% water and 35% organic component(protein).  90% of the organic component is collagen Type 1 and the remaining 10% non-collagenous proteins Osteoblasts-formation of bone, secrete alkaline phosphatase to create sites for calcium and phosphate deposition. Osteoclasts-bone resorption, secretes acid phosphatase which unfixes the calcium Osteocytes are osteoblasts which are responsible for homeostasis of oxygen and mineral levels. Function: Supports the body, protects the organs, produces blood cells, and stores minerals and fats. Collagen, the protein that gives bones a framework for strength and   flexibility Calcium-phosphate mineral complexes, that fill in the gaps between the collagen frame work, making bones hard and strong Living bone cells that remove and replace weakened sections of bone KoACT-Calcium collagen chelate Animal Study-8 weeks 4 groups No supplement KoACT-increased bone density by 3.5% 10x KoACT-increased bone strength by 10% Calcium and Collagen supplement increase bone strength by 1% Study 39 women 2 groups-12 months Post-menopausal women. 5 g of CC(calcium-collagen chelate) which contains 500 mg of elemental calcium and 200 IU Vitamin D 500 mg of calcium and 200 IU of Vitamin D The loss of whole body BMD in women taking CC was substantially lower than that of the control group at twelve months KoACT improves bone synthesis and reduces bone loss KoACT counteracts the natural process of bone loss in post-menopausal women KoACT improves bone mineral density KoACT improves bone mineral density better than calcium in post-menopausal women KoACT improves total body bone mineral density significantly better than calcium in just three months Biomarkers for bone formation were increased significantly with KoACT KoACT improves biomarkers for bone formation, better than calcium. KoACT improves bone strength significantly better than calcium in animals Peak bone mass is around 30 years old. Losing 2-3% a year thereafter. 20% of hip fracture patients will pass away within a year. 1 out of 3 post menopausal women will fracture a bone Osteoporosis drugs (Bisphosphonate) slows down osteoclast activity. Increase risk of jaw necrosis and atypical femoral fractures.  After 3 years of use the suggest a "Drug Holiday" Lifestyle: Lack of physical activity Excessive exercise Inflammation Smoking Alcohol Medication Family history Vitamin and nutrient deficiency Gluten Eliminate excess sugar, cigarette smoke and phosphoric acid-containing soda. Be sure your intake of calcium and magnesium is in the 700-1000 mg range of each daily. Other trace minerals, boron, manganese, chromium, copper, zinc, silicon...animal food Weight bearing activity Post-menopausal women make consider bioidentical hormone replacement. Mediterranean diet with increase protein intake. Vegetarian and vegan diets and risks of total and site-specific fractures increases significantly. Exercise: Weight bearing resistance exercise is best Vibration-10 minutes per day 2-3x per day (check with your medical professional first) Muscle-vibration 20-50 hz Exercise inhibits bone loss, frequency matters     clinical research links mentioned in this podcast  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1308846/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9177517/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9431639/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK499863/#:~:text=Wolff's%20Law%20states%20that%20bones,strengthening%20of%20the%20cortical%20layer. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23702931/#:~:text=Menaquinone%2D4%20(MK%2D4,health%20in%20healthy%20postmenopausal%20women.   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 of "Pushing the Limits", I had the amazing opportunity to be a guest on the Fit Father Project Podcast with Dr. Anthony Balduzzi. In this uplifting conversation, I share my journey from professional ultra-endurance athlete to health optimisation, longevity, anti-aging, and high-performance expert. We delve into the incredible journey of determination and resilience that mum and I have been on.  After my mother suffered a massive aneurysm and was told she would never have any quality of life again, I was catapulted from the world of sports into the world of health. Refusing to accept the prognosis. I dove deep into the research and spent the following years helping mum rehabilitate herself. She went from having hardly any function to having complete independence, including getting her driver's license back, walking up to 5 km a day, and going to the gym five days a week. The story doesn’t end there. After all of that progress, mum was hit with a terminal cancer diagnosis and given just weeks to live.  Again, not willing to give up, I plunged back into the research and devised a comprehensive protocol using everything from the science around the metabolic approach to cancer to peptides, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, a strict keto diet, and more.  The result? My mum is now cancer-free, while she is still dealing with a few issues she is loving life and enjoying her time as a grandmother at age 82! My conversation with Dr. Anthony highlights the importance of mindset and pushing through mental and physical limits. I hope my story inspires you to never give up, no matter what you are facing.  Key Takeaways: Mindset is crucial in overcoming challenges and pushing through limits.  Starting small and setting achievable goals can lead to accomplishing bigger goals. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be beneficial for brain repair and recovery.  Advocating for proper medical care and resources is essential in critical situations. Persistence and dedication are key in helping a loved one recover from a serious health condition.  Researching and implementing various treatments can lead to miraculous recoveries. A supportive team and advocating for your needs are crucial in navigating the medical system.  Learning and staying on the cutting edge of wellness can lead to optimal health and longevity. Dr Anthony Balduzzi a man who has helped hundreds of thousands of people all around the world with his communities aimed at whole person health and fitness. He is driven by a passion to help families in particular. At age 9 he lost his own father to cancer (he was just 42) and this fundamentally changed Anthony's mission in life. Through his unwavering commitment and efforts, Dr. Balduzzi has successfully helped over 60,000 families across more than 100 countries through his Fit Father and Fit Mother Programs.   You can find out more about the Fit Father Project and their mission here: https://store.fitfatherproject.c Fit Father Project website https://www.fitfatherproject.com/never-give-up-lisa-tamati/   Apple Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/never-give-up-lisa-tamatis-incredible-journey-of/id1566009525?i=1000649571160   Spotify https://open.spotify.com/episode/3Lw6adfiwuYBZEfp2tPQJI   Fit Father Project Podcast YouTube Channel https://youtu.be/22OfJv50rGA   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 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. Links Below  Dr Sandra Kaufmanns website  https://kaufmannprotocol.com/ Dr Sandra's Books: The Kaufmann Protocol Book  Aging Solutions Book  If you are interested in getting Exosomes done after listening to the episode join Dr Kaufmann's interview reach out to me at support@lisatamati.com Instagram: @kaufmanantiaging   BIO Dr. Kaufmann began her academic career in the field of cellular biology, earning a Master's Degree from the University of Connecticut in Tropical Ecology and Plant Physiology. 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.
