    Peptides And Epigenetic Age Testing - Optimising Your Future Health Now With Ryan Smith

    Peptides And Epigenetic Age Testing - Optimising Your Future Health Now With Ryan Smith

    In this weeks episode of "Pushing the Limits" Lisa interviews the Co-founder of Trudiagnostic and previous founder of Tailor Made Compounding who make peptides. Ryan Smith is an expert in both peptides and  the Epigenetic age testing.
    In this episode we dive deep into both of these critical areas in the longevity science game.  Learn what peptides do in the body, what they are and how they work and how you can use them to get your health on track. Then we dive into the world of Biological age clocks. Not your chronological age but how are you aging on the inside independent of how many trips around the sun you made.
    Having the ability to track, measure and optimize our biological age is the most game changing and innovative approach to biohacking and optimization the world has ever seen.
    It is also a sign the future of specialized health care is within reach.
    TruDiagnostic is a revolutionary new tool that allows us to measure an unprecedented amount of data providing full access and control to one’s aging and health.
    The biological age test developed by Tru Diagnostic is set to change how we measure health and ultimately, how we can improve it.

    What you will learn in this episode:
    * What is Tru Diagnostic?
    * How is it going to forever change the integrated health space?
    * Where can this technology go, and how does the data it provides empower us?
    In this episode, Ryan Smith from Tru Diagnostic talks about why this development is going to be so revolutionary.
    Biological Aging is only the first step. Trudiagnostic has leveraged data generated in the largest private epigenetic database in the world to create tools that look at specific methylation to detect changing disease risk. They are already running clinical trials with products that claim to reduce aging, to see if they’re really as effective as they say they are.
    They work with universities and top scientists from around the world to create new methods of epigenetic identification, new algorithms, and expanding what was once an epigenetic testing lab into a full multi-omic suite.
    You can get your biological age testing done and leverage the insights to improve your future. 
    Reach out to us at support@lisatamati.com if you are interested in getting tested.

    Stem Cells The Ultimate Anti-aging Health Optimising Power Within Us With Dr Christian Drapeau

    Stem Cells The Ultimate Anti-aging Health Optimising Power Within Us With Dr Christian Drapeau

    In this week episode Lisa interviews world renown stem cell scientist Dr Christian Drapeau on the power of stem cells to heal the body and how we can mobilise many more of these stems cells from our bone marrow through the use of specific botanicals that have been clinically shown to do just that and how people suffering from a myriad of disease all have one thing in common and that is low circulating levels of stem cells.
     
    We dive into the fascinating world of stem cell science and you will learn:
     
            * The types of stem cells there are
            * The various use cases for the different stem cells
            * The history of embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells.
            * The botanical discoveries he made that have shown to mobilise your own stem cells without needing invasive procedures that harvest your own stem cells from bone marrow or fat
            *Lifestyle interventions shown to improve stem cell mobilisation and other habits that are detrimental to your stem cell supply.
            * we dive into many stories giving insight to the mechanisms of actions, case studies that are astounding from burns victims healing 50 year old scars to diabetics getting off insulin, to heart repair, brain repair and more.
            * we dive too into the clinical research he and others have done
     
    Dr Christian is the author of "Cracking the Stem Cell Code" and is a tireless advocate for sharing this powerful and world changing information.
    If after listening to this show you want to try STEMREGEN, Dr Christian's product you can go to and use code "Lisa" for a discount off your purchase and check back in Lisa's own anti-aging shop as she will soon have STEMREGEN  in stock at www.shop.lisatamati.com [1]
    Dr Drapeau says “Our health industry calls for a new paradigm… One where we exit the disease-based model of care and enter a model based on maintaining optimal health.  To fully embrace this new approach, we must first understand the process by which our body maintains health of its own accord.  Through years of research, we have discovered that adult stem cells are the building blocks of this process, and we have discovered plants capable of tapping into the healing potential of adult stem cells in order to support our highest potential for vibrant health.”

    Dr Christian Drapeau Bio
    Christian Drapeau is a pioneer in Adult Stem Cell research and has attained global recognition for his nutraceutical applications in the fields of regenerative medicine and wellness.
    Christian Drapeau holds a degree in Neurophysiology from the Montreal Neurological Institute, affiliated with McGill University in Montreal, Canada.  He has been the Chief Science Officer for Cell Tech, Desert Lake Technologies, and Stemtech International. He is currently a member of the Scientific Advisory Board for Jeunesse Global and the President/CEO of Kalyagen where he continues his work of Research & Development, investigating novel stem cell enhancers.
    The natural role of stem cells in the body as the foundation of the body’s daily repair and tissue regeneration system was first described in Christian’s book Cracking the Stem Cell Code (2010). A new edition was published in 2021 presenting all the data on plant-based stem cell enhancers, along with descriptions of cases showing remarkable recovery using natural stem cell enhancers to support Endogenous Stem Cell Mobilization (ESCM).
    Working on the aquatic botanical Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA), in the late 1990’s, and observing that consumption of AFA was leading to benefits touching many aspects of human health, Christian Drapeau proposed that bone marrow stem cells constitute the natural repair system of the body and that AFA’s mechanism of action consisted in supporting stem cell release from the bone marrow.
