Pushing The Limits

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 necessary steps to fight for my dad's right to live. After a few days, we were asked to consider turning off my father's life support. I wasn't willing to settle for that result, and insisted that he remain on life support until we were able to successfully wake him and assess his brain function. The very next day, my father woke safely from his coma, and responded to instructions the doctors gave him. After a month in ICU, dealing with multiple crises and complications, my father was healthy enough to come home. His brain function is perfect. A few months of physical therapy rebuilt his muscle mass. He is completely himself, and alive, thanks to Lisa sharing her story two years ago.

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.   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 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.   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 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. This is for educational purposes only.     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.
