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. We also discuss drug induced nutrient depletions.

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.   Personalised Health Optimisation Consulting with Lisa Tamati Lisa offers solution focused coaching sessions to help you find the right answers to your challenges.   Topics Lisa can help with:  Lisa is a Genetics Practitioner, Health Optimisation Coach, High Performance and Mindset Coach.

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.   If you enjoyed this episodes make sure to check out our Ebook/Interview series "What Your Oncologist isn't telling you" Ebook  with 20 world leading experts on this approach and adjunct therapies.   People can donate to Professor Seyfried's crucial work via this link the https://foundationformetaboliccancertherapies.com/   Dr Thomas Seyfried Bio Thomas N.

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.  You can see the results for yourself - Debbi looks like she is in her early 40's So check out the interview and you can get a great discount on her products at https://www.restoracell.com/pages/lisa-tamati   Personalised Health Optimisation Consulting with Lisa Tamati Lisa offers solution focused coaching sessions to help you find the right answers to your challenges.   Topics Lisa can help with:  Lisa is a Genetics Practitioner, Health Optimisation Coach, High Performance and Mindset Coach.
