Pushing The Limits

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.   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.

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.   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 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.   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.

Dr. Weitz is currently working on an anti-aging book. In his own words My purpose is to teach patients how to modify their lifestyle and diet and posture and muscular balance to feel better and have a healthier life free from chronic disease.  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 successful bodybuilder. I won the Mr. Los Angeles competition in 1985.  I had learned how to lose or gain weight to improve my appearance. However, I looked good, but I felt bad. I had a huge amount of gas and bloating and a lot of stomach pains. I discovered that certain foods, like dairy, and certain carbohydrate foods that had helped me to gain weight, were difficult for me to digest and tolerate.  I had nearly constant symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome.  I also started to suffer from hypoglycemic episodes from eating health food oatmeal cookies and bran muffins that spiked my blood sugar and I realized that I had to avoid eating such high glycemic carbs.  I realized that how you eat dramatically affects your digestive system and your physiology. Your digestive system is your key to overall health. It is where you digest your food and absorb nutrients. It is the wall that must be kept intact to keep out toxins.  A break down of this intestinal mucosal wall is often referred to as leaky gut.  I came to understand that having a healthy gastrointestinal system is a key to your overall health.  I have been studying and discovering ways to improve digestion in order to improve your health and help you to prevent and overcome chronic diseases.  I want to show others not only how to manipulate your body composition, but to help them figure out a way to eat that makes them feel their best. I also became gradually became more aware of how alterations in your posture and structural alignment can result in pain and altered function.  As a chiropractor, by analyzing and helping patients to make corrections in their posture and alignment is one of my focuses in practice.  This occurs both with regular chiropractic adjustments and chiropractic treatments, as well as with teaching patients proper postural cues and exercises.   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.

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.

Specifically, Dr. Bryan was the first to describe nitrite and nitrate as indispensable nutrients required for optimal cardiovascular health.  He was the first to demonstrate and discover an endocrine function of nitric oxide via the formation of S-nitrosoglutathione and inorganic nitrite.  Through the drug discovery program in natural product chemistry, Dr. Bryan discovered unique compositions of matter than can be used to safely and effectively generate and restore nitric oxide in humans.  This technology is now validated in six published clinical trials.  He is also a successful entrepreneur who has commercialized his nitric oxide technology through the formation of Human, to the Power of N, Inc (formerly Neogenis Labs) where he is a Founder and inventor.  Dr. Bryan has been involved in nitric oxide research for the past 18 years and 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 may provide the basis for new preventive or therapeutic strategies in many chronic diseases.  Dr. Bryan has published a number of highly cited papers and authored or edited 5 books.  He is an international leader in molecular medicine and nitric oxide biochemistry.   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.

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. For more information you can reach out to Perry and his team at www.osteostrong.com.au BIO Managing Director & Master Franchisor Perry Eckert is the Master Franchisee for OsteoStrong in Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) and the Australasian Regional Developer for OsteoStrong.

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.   If you would like to do the trudiagnostic testing you can find the test kits in our shop here: https://shop.lisatamati.com/products/truage-complete?pos=1&sid=859e8b4ad&_ss=r   Health Optimisation and Life Coaching with Lisa Tamati Lisa offers solution focused coaching sessions to help you find the right answers to your challenges.
