In this episode, we have the privilege of speaking with Dr. Michael Lewis, renowned expert in brain health and traumatic brain injury (TBI), and author of the groundbreaking book, When Brains Collide. Dr. Lewis is the founder of the Brain Health Education and Research Institute and BrainCARE. With a military background and extensive experience in traumatic brain injuries, Dr. Lewis has dedicated his career to exploring how omega-3 fish oils can play a vital role in preventing and recovering from concussions, TBI, stroke, and neurodegenerative diseases. Key Discussion Points 1. The Role of Omega-3 Fish Oils in Brain Health Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) and Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA), the primary omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil, are crucial for maintaining brain structure and function. Omega-3s are anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective, making them vital in protecting the brain from injury and supporting recovery. 2. High-Dose Omega-3 Fish Oil for Concussions and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Dr. Lewis emphasizes how high-dose fish oil can help mitigate damage following a concussion or TBI. Dosing Protocols: In acute brain injury cases, Dr. Lewis recommends significantly higher doses of fish oil (e.g., up to 3-9 grams of combined DHA and EPA per day) to reduce inflammation, promote healing, and restore brain cell membrane integrity. Case studies demonstrate remarkable improvements in TBI patients, including quicker recovery times, reduced brain fog, and restored cognitive function. 3. Fish Oils for Neurodegeneration and Stroke Prevention Regular intake of omega-3s is shown to be effective in reducing the risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Omega-3s help prevent stroke by reducing blood clot formation, improving vascular health, and lowering inflammation in brain tissues. Dr. Lewis advocates for omega-3s as part of a preventive strategy, particularly for aging individuals at higher risk of neurodegenerative conditions. 4. Using Omega-3s as Preventive Medicine Consistent omega-3 supplementation is not just for recovery—it's crucial for maintaining optimal brain health. Athletes, military personnel, and individuals at risk for head trauma should use omega-3s proactively to strengthen their brain's resilience to injury. Preventative Dosing: Dr. Lewis suggests a daily intake of at least 2-3 grams of DHA and EPA combined for ongoing brain health and injury prevention. 5. How to Choose a High-Quality Fish Oil Dr. Lewis explains the criteria for identifying a high-quality fish oil supplement: Purity: Free from contaminants like heavy metals and toxins. Potency: Look for a high concentration of DHA and EPA. Stability: Avoid fish oils that oxidize easily, as rancid oils can be harmful. Sourcing: Prefer fish oils sourced from wild-caught, sustainably harvested fish. Importance of third-party testing to ensure the product is safe and effective. 6. Personal Stories and Case Studies Dr. Lewis shares inspiring stories of patients and athletes who have successfully used omega-3 therapy to recover from brain injuries. Examples include a football player who recovered from multiple concussions and a stroke survivor who regained cognitive function with high-dose omega-3 supplementation. 7. How to Use Omega-3s After Brain Injury Immediate supplementation following a brain injury can make a significant difference in recovery outcomes. The sooner omega-3s are introduced post-injury, the better. Dr. Lewis provides insight into the timing and administration of omega-3 supplements during the acute phase of brain injury treatment.

In this episode, we delve into a revolutionary longevity molecule that you might not have heard of before: 1-MNA. If you're interested in staying younger longer and if you want to maintain your energy and vitality then this is an episode for you. Perhaps you have read the groundbreaking book by Dr David Sinclair "Lifespan" where he talks about NAD and how crucial it is for the body and how it can help upregulate sirtuin genes (longevity genes) and help you maintain your cellular health and energy. We are now 4 years on we have more data, studies and information to share in this arena. Perhaps you have been trying to improve  your NAD metabolism, taking NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide)  or NR (nicotinamide riboside), and upregulating sirtuin genes, if you have then you need to hear this.  We'll explore the intricacies of NAD pathways, the role of key enzymes, and why simply supplementing with NAD precursors may not be the best holistic approach and how we can improve on that approach to anti-aging Key Points Discussed: Introduction to NAD Metabolism: Overview of previous episodes on NAD metabolism with experts like Professor Joseph Baur, Dr. Elizabeth Yurth from the Boulder Longevity Institute, and Dr. Elena Seranova.Importance of understanding the complexities of NAD pathways beyond the basics. Understanding 1-MNA: Explanation of 1-MNA and its role in controlling NAD levels by blocking the enzyme NNMT (Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase).The dangers of upregulating NNMT, which degrades NAD and can lead to various health issues. Key Enzymes in NAD Metabolism: Discussion on the salvage pathway and two critical enzymes that degrade NAD.Importance of regulating NNMT to prevent its deleterious effects, particularly in senescent cells, cancer cells, and fat cells. Benefits of 1-MNA How 1-MNA can help maintain a balanced NAD metabolism by inhibiting NNMT.Potential benefits for conditions like schizophrenia, neurodegeneration, liver diseases, and cancer. Research and Studies: Overview of studies showing the positive effects of 1-MNA on post-COVID conditions, inflammation, and mitochondrial function.Insights from animal studies on 1-MNA's protective effects against metabolic disorders. Practical Applications: Recommendations for integrating 1-MNA into supplement regimens, especially for those taking NMN or NR.Potential benefits for various conditions, including obesity, metabolic syndrome, cardiac disease, liver disease, cancer risk, long COVID, and fatigue. Balancing NAD Levels: Importance of maintaining NAD levels for energy production, DNA repair, neurotransmitter health, and longevity.The role of NAD as a redox molecule and the balance between NAD+ and NADH. Conclusion: Encouragement to explore further research on NNMT and its impact on health.Final thoughts on the potential of 1-MNAas a crucial supplement for maintaining NAD balance and promoting longevity.

Emphasizing diet, exercise and a healthy lifestyle, Dr. Clearfield was the “go to” guy when other physicians, even specialists at NYU and the University of Pennsylvania were baffled, in his adopted hometown of Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Dr. Clearfield graduated from the College of Osteopathic Medicine and Surgery, now Des Moines University, in 1978.  He interned at Metropolitan Hospital in downtown Philadelphia and followed that up with a residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology and Family Medicine. In 1984 he tested and successfully implemented one of the first individualized computer generated diet programs (on an Apple IIc no less) and instituted the Medifast Protein Sparing Modified Weight Loss program at Nesbitt Memorial Hospital in Kingston, Pa. In 1990, a curious combination of family events, a cousin who, after ten years of fertility issues, became pregnant after three sessions, and a chance encounter with a ninety-year-old practitioner from the Peoples Republic of China, on a trip back home, led him to UCLA’s Medical Acupuncture Physicians training. Dr. C. took to acupuncture quickly, becoming the second medical doctor in the Wilkes, Barre-Scranton area to offer acupuncture in his practice. He became. Elected to the board of directors as the education director of the American Academy of Medical Acupuncture in 1992, Dr. C began a student with experienced acupuncturists which continue to this day. After election as the Secretary of the American Academy of Medical Acupuncture in 1994, Dr. C obtained his most prized academic degree. The secretary of the AAMA signed the diplomas earned in that session. In short, Dr. Clearfield signed his diploma! His 1992 treatise “Celestial Stems-5 Element Diet and Exercise Program,”  based on Traditional Chinese Medicine dietary laws, was well received in the complementary medicine community. In 1994 Dr. Clearfield established the first combined functional and alternative medicine pain clinic at John Heinz Rehabilitation Hospital in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. He partnered with staff physiatrists, physical therapist, speech pathologist and psychologists to offer a comprehensive pain management program. A 1995 article “Form Follows Function; The Treatment of Musculoskeletal Head and Neck Disease,” is the model used taught today for all shoulder and neck injuries. In 1997 he chaired the 9th Annual Symposium of the American Academy of Medical Acupuncture in Washington, D.C. Dr. C was the fourth licensed osteopathic acupuncture physician in the state of Pennsylvania. Moving his practice to Reno in 2013, Dr. William Clearfield and the Clearfield Medical Group has quickly become the source in which patients turn to when looking for alternative and functional medicine.     Personalised Health Optimisation Consulting with Lisa Tamati Lisa offers solution focused coaching sessions to help you find the right answers to your challenges.

This episode offers valuable insights for anyone interested in the intersection of nutrition, immune function, and brain health.Connect with Dr. John Lewis Website: Dr. John Lewis Nutrition If you want to get Daily Brain Care visit our online curated range of cutting edge longevity and anti-aging supplements at  BIO John E. Lewis, Ph.D. is the Founder and President of Dr Lewis Nutrition™. Dr. John E. Lewis has spent most of his career developing a unique approach as someone who "walks the walk" through all of his combined professional and personal experiences to attaining optimal health through nutrition, dietary supplements, and exercise. Throughout his research career, he has evaluated many different nutritional approaches to enhancing well-being, particularly for brain health, immune function, and counteracting aging. He can separate fact from fiction regarding how to utilize nutrition and dietary supplements to help you achieve and maintain optimal health. If you need a trusted source of information, products, and services, then look no further than Dr. Lewis and how he can help you achieve your health-related goals. Professional Career Dr. Lewis is past full-time Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and the Founder and President of Dr Lewis Nutrition™. He is a Diplomate, Faculty Member, and Advisor of the Medical Wellness Association. He has been the principal investigator of over 30 different studies on human health in his research career. During that time, he either directly raised or indirectly supported raising over $23 million in grants, gifts, and contracts for research studies and clinical trials and educational programs for medical students. In addition to his research, Dr. Lewis has been an invited national and international lecturer and guest speaker at conferences and as a guest on television shows. He is a well-known author with over 180 peer-reviewed publications in some of the world's leading scientific journals. He has also mentored many different students, from undergraduates to post-doctoral trainees, in not only how to conduct clinical research but to apply the principles of health promotion into daily practice. Research Interests Much of Dr. Lewis's research has focused on evaluating the effects of nutrition, dietary supplements, and exercise on various aspects of human health. He and his colleagues have been continually searching for ways to help people achieve and maintain health through natural treatments that align with our physiology. A primary stimulus for the origin of Dr Lewis Nutrition™ occurred after Dr. Lewis ran his landmark study on how an aloe polysaccharide multi-nutrient complex improved cognitive and immune functioning after 12 months in persons with moderate to severe Alzheimer's disease, leading to the creation of the dietary supplement, Daily Brain Care. Daily Brain Care showed clinically and statistically significant improvements in cognition according to the ADAS-cog cognition score and statistically significant improvements in inflammation (according to TNFα and VEGF), immune function (according to the CD4/CD8 ratio), and adult stem cells (according to CD14+ cells). His seminal publication from the study in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease not only spurred him to leave academics and pursue a science-based business career, but also enabled him to be selected for a widely-acclaimed TEDxMiami talk. Founding Dr Lewis Nutrition™ While Dr. Lewis still maintains an academic affiliation, he chose to leave a full-time research career to pursue his true passion of helping people achieve health through nutrition, dietary supplements, and exercise. His research in brain health and immune function was key in the creation of Daily Brain Care, but afterward he chose to shift into business where the opportunity to reach a larger audience is greater. Dr Lewis Nutrition™ is the vehicle through which Dr. Lewis leverages his many years of personal and professional work to spread a message of health that is so desperately needed, particularly for those who are afflicted with an all-too-common chronic disease, e.g., neurodegeneration, immune dysfunction, or cardiac and metabolic disorder. Dr. Lewis will continue to be a thought leader to help people utilize the power of nutrition and dietary supplements and learn how to take control of and optimize their health.         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 I interview founder of the The Quiet Mind Foundation Dr Marvin Berman Ph.D., C.B.T., he is specialised in Photobiomodulation psychology and EEG Biofeedback expert. Alzheimers is set to become one of the biggest health issues Key Projections: World Health Organization (WHO): Estimates suggest that the number of people living with dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, will reach 65.7 million by 2030. Alzheimer's Association: Projections indicate that the number of Americans age 65 and older with Alzheimer's disease may grow from 6.2 million in 2021 to 8.5 million by 2030. Global Prevalence: By 2030, it is expected that there will be around 76 million people worldwide living with dementia, primarily Alzheimer's disease. These estimates highlight the growing public health challenge posed by Alzheimer's disease as populations age. Efforts in research, treatment, and prevention are critical to addressing this impending increase in cases. In this episode we fight back against this coming tide. We discuss the history of PBM and it's application in a wide range of neurodegenerative diseases from Alzheimers and dementia to Parkinsons, stroke and aneurysm to traumatic brain injury to brain fog and the effects of long covid and beyond. If you have a brain and you want to preserve it then this is a must listen to episode.  We now have the technology and the research to reverse cognitive decline, no longer is the diagnosis of one of these terrible diseases, a death sentence.  We can proactively address many of the underlying issues. We discuss the thesis of the 36 holes in the roof  approach that Dr Dale Bredesen  (a previous guest on the show) teaches in addressing cognitive decline and how PBM covers off 34 of these and how combined with lifestyle interventions and supplementation etc we have the power to save our brains. BIO Dr. Marvin Berman earned his Master's and PhD in Psychoeducational Processes from Temple University, where he studied group and organizational behavior. He obtained certification in Bioenergetic Analysis at the Philadelphia Institute for Bioenergetic Analysis in 1983. He has participated in extensive post-graduate training and in Systems-Centered Therapy, and the Feldenkrais Method. He was certified in EEG biofeedback in 2003. Dr. Berman is a recognized thought leader in the application of photobiomodulation and EEG biofeedback and related technologies to better understand neurodegenerative, neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders. Dr. Berman consults with academic neuroscience researchers, healthcare providers, and integrative healthcare clinics on the application of photobiomodulation and neurofeedback.    Personalised Health Optimisation Consulting with Lisa Tamati Lisa offers solution focused coaching sessions to help you find the right answers to your challenges.

The longevity research world is exploding right now, it's so exciting and the technology is advancing in leaps and bounds and we are able now to discover faster than ever before thanks to AI and co to test more molecules that can impact human health than ever before in the history of mankind. What would have taken years now takes weeks or months. In this episode I talk to Michael Antonelli CEO and founder of Healthgevity. Michael is a master formulator who has spent decades in the anti-ageing and longevity space learning at the feet of many masters and who is at the forefront of working with companies at the cutting edge in peptide and bioactive ingredient development. All his formulations are science backed with clinical research and I was excited to learn about something of these novel molecules Introduction to Healthgevity and its CEO, Michael AntonelliOverview of Healthgevity's approach: merging clinical research, AI, and medical expertiseExploring the importance of longevity in today's societyMichael Antonelli's journey and motivation behind founding HealthgevityThe role of cutting-edge science in developing longevity supplementsHow Healthgevity collaborates with clinical practitioners and doctorsDeep dive into Healthgevity's science-backed formulationsExamples of specific ingredients and their benefits in promoting longevityThe impact of AI in optimizing formulations and personalizing supplementationAddressing common misconceptions about longevity supplementsFuture prospects and advancements in the longevity industry   BIO   Throughout a career spanning over 17 years, Michael passionately devoted himself to pioneering methods aimed at enhancing longevity, optimizing healthspan, and elevating overall quality of life. His focus revolves around collaborating with leading healthcare professionals, researchers, and other likeminded healthcare leaders to create natural solutions that elevate patient outcomes.

His expertise extends beyond conventional approaches, emphasizing holistic well-being and personalized care as essential components to any successful medical practice. By championing novel methodologies and innovative technologies, Michal facilitates transformative changes within the healthcare landscape, fostering advancements that positively impact both practitioners and the individuals they serve.  Michael continues to remain dedicated to the pursuit of innovative strategies that enhance health and vitality while reshaping the paradigms of healthcare.   Some of the products mentioned in this podcast:   CARDIO NAD+ Vascular health and aging are the most important health care problem in the world today. Healthy aging requires healthy arteries and a healthy heart. Cardio NAD+ is a state-of-the-art solution which uses the most novel ingredients available to help optimize cardiovascular health. As one of the most important systems in your body, we have designed this combination to be synergistic to the many different areas of cardiovascular health while demonstrating cardioprotective effects including the emerging connection between NAD+ and heart health. Featured Supportive Benefits: Improves net NAD+ status by supporting both its synthesis and limiting its degradationSupports healthy blood pressureImproves vascular aging and endothelial functionSupports healthy fibrinolytic activity and clotting functionPromotes healthy circulation and blood flowInhibits platelet & red blood cell aggregationDecreases blood viscositySupports clinical measures of inflammationSupports healthy blood sugar and insulin levelsInhibits lipid peroxidationSupports healthy lipid metabolismDemonstrated reduction in various independent cardiovascular risk factors   Resolve+ Resolve+ contains numerous compounds that have been found to reduce the inflammatory response by targeting a variety of mechanisms.  Acmella oleracea ("jambu") is sourced from Sardinia, Italy and rich in alkylamides mainly represented by spilanthol. Its flowers are widely used in folk medicine to treat toothache due to tingling, numbness, and local anesthesia caused in the mouth.  Acmella oleracea has been shown to be active in fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) inhibition the enzyme responsible for the degradation of fatty acid amides and cannabinoid type 2 (CB2) activation.  There are almost 100 studies suggesting the supportive potential for anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and analgesic effects of Acmella. Studies reported in this review confirmed activities of Acmella, postulating that transcription factors of the nuclear factor-κB family (NF-κB) trigger the transcription iNOS and COX-2 and several other pro-inflammatory mediators, such as IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α. Curcumin, a natural polyphenolic compound derived from turmeric (Curcuma longa L.), has been well documented to exhibit various health benefits. There have been many claims on the health benefits of curcumin on neurological, cardiovascular, lung, metabolic, and liver function, mainly through its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Despite its promising potential, the clinical application of curcumin has been limited due to its low bioavailability. To enhance curcumin absorption, we are the first to feature Theracurmin Super® 85X, a proprietary curcumin utilizing the latest technology that transforms standard curcumin into an amorphous structure. Theracurmin Super® 85X uses the latest technology to transform regular curcumin particles into a more bioavailable structure. This is done by splitting curcumin particles' crystal structure amorphous, therefore, making it easily absorbed and bioavailable to maximize its supportive potential. Tetrahydrocurcumin (4-HC) is the key bioactive derivative of curcumin, it's also given credibility as the engine behind all that curcumin brings to the table. With a newfound ability to extract and isolate the compound, research has even seen tetrahydrocurcumin outperform its parent compound in several tests of its capabilities. Researchers have also confirmed that 4-HC attenuated pro-inflammatory indicators like interleukin-1, interleukin-6, TNF-⍺, and prostaglandin E2.  After reviewing the data, we found many advantages to infuse tetrahydrocurcumin as CurcuPrime® stacked with Theracurmin Super® 85X into Resolve+. Quercetin is a well-known studied dietary flavonoid ubiquitously present in various vegetables. Quercetin is known for its antioxidant activity in radical scavenging and anti-allergic properties characterized by stimulation of immune system, antiviral activity, inhibition of histamine release, decrease in pro-inflammatory cytokines, leukotrienes creation, and suppresses interleukin IL-4 production.  Multiple studies have confirmed its supportive potential as an immune modulator and its ability to support a healthy inflammatory response. It can improve the Th1/Th2 balance, and restrain antigen specific IgE antibody formation However, chemical instability, poor water solubility and low bioavailability of quercetin greatly limit its applications which is why a phytosome technology which we feature in resolve is the preferred delivery system to overcome these limitations.  This enhanced form of quercetin has been shown to be as much as 20 times better absorbed than other quercetin options.  Casperome®  boswellia phytosome is a potent extract made from the resin of Boswellia serrata trees and is also referred as Indian frankincense. Boswellia extracts have been demonstrated to be effective in the management of various inflammatory response functions including those that occur in the bowel, joints, bones, respiratory airways and in the brain. The mechanism of action that involves the modulation of the natural inflammatory response both acting on prostanoid synthesis (mPGE2S) and protein degradation (caspases), and transcription factors (Nf-κB).  We have selected Casperome® which is a highly standardized in boswellic acids to match the natural composition of boswellia, formulated with phytosome technology to achieve optimized absorption and has been validated by over 10 human studies. Perilla frutescens is an annual herb belonging to the mint family (Lamiaceae). It is mainly produced in countries like China, Japan, India, Thailand and Korea. Recently, Perilla is gaining more attention because of its medicinal benefits and phytochemical contents. The functional compounds of Perilla Seed Extract are flavonoid Aglycons – polyphenols such as Luteolin, Apigenin, Chrysoeriol, and Rosemarinic Acid. Studies have shown that Perilla seed polyphenols regulate allergic and inflammatory response due to its 5-lipoxygenase inhibitory activity and suppression potential of histamine release from mast cells. AstraGin® is a natural compound derived from the roots of two traditional Chinese herbs: Panax notoginseng and Astragalus membranaceous which contain astragaloside I, II, IV and ginsenoside Rb1. AstraGin® has been shown to provide full-spectrum gut support through enhanced absorption, microbiota and immune cell viability, and supporting a health. AstraGin® has been shown in numerous studies to increase the absorption of peptides, amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins, and phytonutrients by up regulating the absorption specific mRNA and transporters, such as SGLT1, CAT1, and GLUT4. Additionally, AstraGin® was shown to reduce intestinal inflammatory biomarker MPO, the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6, IL-17, and IL-1β in ulcerative colitis patients. Prime Gut Health Prime Gut Health was created because the digestive system is the foundation of getting and staying healthy. There are many benefits to an optimal digestive system such as a healthy immune system and the protection against harmful viruses, bacteria, fungi, and yeast. The ingredients selected in Prime Gut Health work together to help restore gut homeostasis and GI barrier function.    There are many benefits to taking Prime Gut Health, including:  Supports healthy GI barrier function*  Helps restore gut homeostasis*Binds and neutralizes bacterial toxins in the gut* Promotes a healthy immune system and respiratory health*Supports digestive health and gut discomfort* Increased nutrient absorption* Supports gut inflammation especially within the intestinal wall* Promotes a healthier GI environment*Promoted regularity and healthy bowel function*    WHAT MAKES PRIME GUT HEALTH SO IMPACTFUL? ImmunoLin® is the branded ingredient serum-derived bovine immunoglobulin/protein isolate (SBI) with over 40 human studies demonstrating its clinical efficacy in digestive and immune health.   SBI has been shown to be a broad-spectrum modulator of the immune system by targeting excessive or imbalanced immunity.* In addition, ImmunoLin® works by binding, neutralizing, and removing pathogenic bacteria, viruses, and other gut irritants that can lead to inflammation.* It also helps to repair the gut lining and restore gut homeostasis.*   Tributyrin (as CoreBiome®) is a postbiotic and the most important short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) for supporting digestive, gut, immune and gastrointestinal health. CoreBiome® is a unique butyrate formula intended to pass intact through the stomach and small intestine to deliver butyrate right where it's needed—the colon.  CoreBiome® supports: Delivery of butyrate to the colon where it helps maintain the integrity of your intestinal lining*Helps repair the gut lining and restore gut homeostasis* Tight junctures in the intestinal lining* Regularity and regulation of a normal inflammatory response* Sporebiotics:  Soil-based probiotics have been touted for their stability, ability to improve digestion, stimulate the immune system, and help maintain a healthy gut microbiota. Bacillus coagulans SNZ 1969®, Bacillus subtilis SNZ 1972 and Bacillus clausii SNZ 1971 are supported with an over 50 year history of use and over 30 human studies covering gut health, gastrointestinal discomfort, immunity against GI tract pathogens, inhibition of food borne pathogens, inhibition of bacteria causing dental carries and gingivitis along with bacterial vaginosis. AstraGin® is a 100% natural compound derived from the roots of two traditional Chinese herbs: Panax notoginseng and Astragalus membranaceous,  containing astragaloside I, II, IV and ginsenoside Rb1. AstraGin® enhances nutrient absorption by up-regulating nutrient transporters, such as CAT1, SGLT1, and FR. AstraGin® restores gut wall integrity by triggering an anti-inflammatory response and activating the mTOR pathway for rapid intestinal stem cell migration and differentiation in the inflamed intestinal mucosal barrier (epithelial cell and tight junction). AstraGin® promotes gut ecosystem homeostasis by the symbiotic effect of restoring gut wall integrity and increasing microbiota-immunity communication.  AstraGin® activates the immune system through the symbiotic effect of improved gut wall integrity and enhanced microbiota-immunity communication. AstraGin® demonstrated in a recent published human clinical trial, to improve upon a number of measurable factors relating to gut health making it an ideal addition into Prime Gut Health.  PrimeTime  Prime Time is a comprehensive blend of 12 key natural ingredients shown to have a role in supporting age management powered by industry leading 10mg's of spermidine per serving.  Prime Time has been formulated with ingredients to mimic fasting and catalyze your body's natural ability to rid itself of aged cells.  Various publications demonstrate the potential this formula will have in your longevity protocols as Prime Time was formulated to support:   Epigenetic aging* Boosting autophagy and promote cellular renewal* Fasting*Memory, cognition, and brain health*Cardiovascular health*Beauty from within*Mitochondria*  WHAT MAKES PRIME TIME SO IMPACTFUL? Spermidine Spermidine, a natural polyamine, plays a critical role in molecular and cellular interactions involved in various physiological and functional processes. Spermidine has been shown to modulate aging, suppress the occurrence and severity of age-related diseases, and prolong lifespan.  The concentration of spermidine declines with age, and exogenous spermidine supplementation reverses age- associated adverse changes and supports health span. Given that it interacts with various molecules, spermidine influences aging through diverse mechanisms.  Autophagy is the body's way of cleaning out damaged cells, to regenerate newer, healthier cells and is the main mechanism of spermidine. In addition, spermidine exerts its effects through other mechanisms, including anti-inflammation, histone acetylation reduction, lipid metabolism and regulation of cell growth and signaling pathways. Nicotinamide mononucleotide  Nicotinamide mononucleotide, a naturally occurring molecule present in all species.  NMN is rapidly absorbed and converted to NAD+, which evidence shows declines as we age.  In numerous studies, supplementation has increased NAD+ biosynthesis, suppressed age-related adipose tissue inflammation, enhanced insulin secretion and insulin action, improved mitochondrial function, and improves neuronal function in the brain among much more. Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG)  Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is the major catechin in green tea.  There is consistency in the literature about the beneficial role of green tea on senescence-related mechanisms, thanks to its scavenging properties against reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) and its ability to stimulate autophagy  Alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) Alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) is a molecule involved in several metabolic and cellular pathways that declines with age. It works as an energy donor, a precursor in amino acid production, and a cellular signaling molecule, and it is a regulator of epigenetic processes.  Dihydroquercetin (Taxifolin)  Dihydroquercetin is a powerful antioxidant of plant origin that can protect cells from the harmful effects of free radicals and protect cell membranes against damage Apigenin Apigenin is a natural bioactive plant polyphenol with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and immune system boosting properties.  It also helps to support against oxidative stress for better cellular function. Studies have shown that apigenin prevents excessive loss of NAD+ by reducing the amount of circulating CD38, allowing NAD+ stores to remain at higher, more youthful levels. Luteolin Luteolin is a flavonoid naturally found in plants. Flavonoids like luteolin have been found to have beneficial effects on human health by reducing oxidative stress.   Trimethylglycine (TMG) Trimethylglycine (TMG) is an amino acid derivative that occurs in plants and has been shown to support methylation which, in turn, supports the homocysteine levels. Taking TMG along with NMN provides the ideal balance for NAD+ production in the body.  Resveratrol  Resveratrol is part of a group of compounds called polyphenols, which act as antioxidants to protect the body against age-related conditions.The anti-aging mechanisms of resveratrol are mainly modulating oxidative stress, relieving inflammatory reaction, improving mitochondrial function, and regulating apoptosis. Resveratrol is considered for the prevention and support of aging and age-related diseases as it mimics the effects of calorie restriction.  Pterostilbene Pterostilbene is a phenolic compound in the same family as resveratrol and is present in small amounts in a large variety of foods and beverages like blueberries or red wine. Multiple studies confirm pterostilbene's remarkable anti-aging effects. Cell and animal studies have shown that pterostilbene can extend the lifespan of various animal models of human longevity by regulating three major pathways linked to longevity: mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), and sirtuins Bergamot Bergamot (Citrus bergamia) is a type of citrus fruit native to Italy. It has been shown that bergamot juice exerts antioxidant, cardioprotective properties and antisenescence effects.  AstraGin®  AstraGin® is a natural compound derived from the roots of two traditional Chinese herbs: Panax notoginseng and Astragalus membranaceous. AstraGin® increases the absorption of peptides, amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins, and phytonutrients by up-regulating absorption-specific m RNA and transporters such as SGLT1, CAT1, and GLUT4.

Ever since the book "Lifespan" came out from Dr David Sinclair, everyone and their dog and has been supplementing with nicotinamide mononucleotide and nicotinamide riboside and an effort to increase our levels in the body.NAD is essential to life. No energy production can happen without NAD. NAD Also decreases as we age so the question has always been should we and can we increase our NAD levels. As usual in biology it's very complicated and as the science has developed we have learned many new detailed insights.  Here is an update on the latest in that science. In this episode of "Pushing The Limits" I have the wonderful privilege of interviewing one of the world's leading researchers in NAD metabolism, sirtuin genes and metabolic health Professor Joseph Baur. Professor at the Perelman School of Medicine of the University of Pennsylvania, How can you increase NAD+ levels? And do higher NAD+ levels really lead to better metabolic health? What does the research say on their benefits for Longevity. We cover this critical pathway in-depth looking what the research is saying and what it currently isn't and what we have still to learn. We look into mice studies and then also where the human research is at. We cover the salvage pathway as well as the Preiss Handler pathway. The possible role of the Microbiome and in NAD metabolism. We also discussed the various NAD pools and why the mitochondria maybe a key in a NAD pool. We discuss the transporter for NAD into the mitochondria that was recently discovered by Prof Baur and other labs. We discuss also the possible risk factors and how we can mitigate these. We look at where the research is at in relation to cancer and NAD Metabolism. The role of CD 38 as a voracious consumer of in NAD and how lowering CD38 in the body may be even more beneficial than taking the precursor enzymes. We discuss also why CD38 increases as we age and what we can do about it and the role of senolytics. How we can increase the NAMPT enzyme so we recycle more of our NAD And whether we need to support our methylation donors when we are supplementing with the likes of NMB and NR.   If you are fascinated by longevity science and want to know how you can optimise your health moving forward then this is the episode for you!

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 angiogenesisWe 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 mitochondriawhat 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.
