We dive again into the benefits and many faceted roles that vitamin C plays in the body as not only a powerful antioxidant but how it has the ability to get everywhere in the body and why that makes it much more powerful than many other antioxidants and we discuss it's roles in everything from cancer to covid to sepsis to cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis.
 
We also discuss his indepth research into why calcium is so detrimental when it is higher in the body than it should be and why just a small increase of calcium in the soft tissues outside of bone and teeth has such deleterious effects and why magnesium is so beneficial and how it counteracts calciums deleterious effects in the body.
 
We also look into iron and how it promotes cancer and why it can be elevated in people suffering with viruses and pathogens that are chronic. We also discuss copper toxicity and why so many have too much free copper which can be as toxic as mercury.

In this episode of "Pushing the Limits" we enter the fascinating world of Kaytee Boyd who is an integrative clinical nutritionist but really the title doesn't really explain the depth of knowledge and expertise and clinical insights this wonderful lady has to share.
We do a deep dive into cancer and the role of the gut, nutrition for cancer, the foundational health principles to support you on your cancer journey but we also go in personalized medicine and nutrition and why there is no "one size fits all" when it comes to diet and lifestyle interventions.
 
We discuss advanced testing techniques and how you can use them to better your health and much much more.
 
Kaytee has extensive clinical experiences dealing with everything from:
Cancer (all types, all stages) High fat diet/ weight and fat loss Chronic fatigue Gut issues: IBS, IBD, FODMAPS, SIFO, LIBO, bacterial overgrowth, candida Auto-immune (Hashimotos,thyroid, Graves, Goiter skin, Rheumatoid arthritis) Cardiovascular conditions Genetics testing Neurological (Alzheimer, MS, Autism, ADD, ADHD, spectrum, depression, anxiety, mental health, insomnia) Hormones (estrogen dominance, endometriosis PCOS) Muscular skeletal (fibromyalgia, polymyalgia) 
 
So this is one episode you won't want to miss and we promise to make a part two.

BIO
A scientist first and foremost, Dr. Tan earned his Ph.D. in chemistry/biochemistry from the University of Otago, New Zealand, and spent several years as a professor at UMass. Dr. Tan has committed himself to the research and development of phytonutrients — natural compounds found in plants that reduce and slow chronic disorders.
Dr. Barrie Tan is hailed as a trailblazer and the world's foremost expert on vitamin E, credited with discovering tocotrienol in three major natural sources and geranylgeraniol, an essential nutrient with implications for sports and active nutrition. A scientist first and foremost, Dr. Tan earned his Ph.D. in Chemistry/Biochemistry from the University of Otago, New Zealand and spent several years as a professor at UMass. Today, his research focuses on lipid-soluble nutrients that reduce and slow chronic conditions.
Dr. Tan is credited with discovering a form of vitamin E called tocotrienol from three major sources: palm, rice, and annatto — a natural dye and food coloring derived from the seeds of the achiote tree, known for its potential health benefits, including antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. Editor of two prestigious books on tocotrienol and founder of the International Tocotrienol Conference, Dr. Tan was dubbed the "Tocotrienol King" by Dr. Stephen Sinatra, a highly respected and sought-after cardiologist.
Dr. Tan has held roles of Chief Scientific Officer and Scientific Board Member for multinational organizations. His career includes periods working in association with the US Armed Forces and a Prince of Thailand. He has successfully launched multiple businesses in the nutrition industry and owns an array of patents and intellectual property, keeping him at the forefront of scientific innovation.
He is an internationally celebrated and sought-after speaker, having presented at multiple respected conferences in the field including; IFT, ADA, ASN, IHS, A4M, NPA, AACR, ICIM, IAOMT, and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

Dr. Tan is currently the President of American River Nutrition, a natural health R&D company he started with his wife, Elizabeth, in 1998. Described as a scientific pioneer, his mission is simple: improve the everyday health of people's lives through the rigorous application of DeltaGold® – the first-ever tocopherol-free tocotrienol product extracted from annatto, and the most potent form of vitamin E in existence today.
