Perfect Amino Supplement by Dr David

Your brain defines who you are: taking care of its health and longevity is important. I know that better than anyone after having nursed my mum through strokes, aneurysms, concussions and neurodegeneration for years.
So when it comes to brain optimisation and protection I want to know about it and Dr Lew Lim is the man to learn from.
His technology  is featured in the most published research in the field of brain photobiomodulation.
It helps in the brain, the gut and the vagus nerve. 
Dr Lew Lim, PhD, MD, MBA has been studying photobiomodulation (PBM) and low-level light therapy for over 30 years. In the mid 1990's he invented intranasal photobiomodulation as a non-invasive method of introducing therapeutic photonic energy into the human body. He is the founder of vielight.com which brings intranasal and transcranial devices using photobiomodulation to the consumer.

In this weeks episode we dive into a topic that is close to my heart after watching the pain and suffering my mum went through and the complications and difficulties she has had after falling in her bedroom one day and breaking her hip.
 
This experience of course led me deep into the research on osteoporosis and in todays video/podcast we cover 
What osteoporosis is and what osteopenia is  How is it diagnosed  What drugs are used to to treat it - the good, the bad and the ugly of these What exercises you can do to stave off osteoporosis and reverse bone loss What nutrient deficiencies or diseases can lead to osteoporosis  What supplements can reverse and or slow bone loss The role of different hormones in osteopororsis  The role of nutrition in osteoporosis  What medications can cause osteoporosis  What lifestyle factors can lead to osteoporosis Who is more at risk for osteoporosis. General info on osteoporosis 
Loss of Bone Mass Density
Dexa Scan T-score  -1.0 to -2.5 is Osteopenia
                    T-score  less than -2.5 is Osteoporosis
Bone is 40-50% inorganic component (hydroxyapatite), 10-15% water and 35% organic component(protein).  90% of the organic component is collagen Type 1 and the remaining 10% non-collagenous proteins

Osteoblasts-formation of bone, secrete alkaline phosphatase to create sites for calcium and phosphate deposition. Osteoclasts-bone resorption, secretes acid phosphatase which unfixes the calcium Osteocytes are osteoblasts which are responsible for homeostasis of oxygen and mineral levels.
Function: Supports the body, protects the organs, produces blood cells, and stores minerals and fats.

Collagen, the protein that gives bones a framework for strength and   flexibility Calcium-phosphate mineral complexes, that fill in the gaps between the collagen frame work, making bones hard and strong Living bone cells that remove and replace weakened sections of bone

KoACT-Calcium collagen chelate
Animal Study-8 weeks
4 groups
No supplement
KoACT-increased bone density by 3.5%
10x KoACT-increased bone strength by 10%
Calcium and Collagen supplement increase bone strength by 1%

Study
39 women
2 groups-12 months Post-menopausal women.
5 g of CC(calcium-collagen chelate) which contains 500 mg of elemental calcium and 200 IU Vitamin D
500 mg of calcium and 200 IU of Vitamin D
The loss of whole body BMD in women taking CC was substantially lower than that of the control group at twelve months

KoACT improves bone synthesis and reduces bone loss
KoACT counteracts the natural process of bone loss in post-menopausal women KoACT improves bone mineral density KoACT improves bone mineral density better than calcium in post-menopausal women KoACT improves total body bone mineral density significantly better than calcium in just three months Biomarkers for bone formation were increased significantly with KoACT KoACT improves biomarkers for bone formation, better than calcium. KoACT improves bone strength significantly better than calcium in animals Peak bone mass is around 30 years old. Losing 2-3% a year thereafter. 20% of hip fracture patients will pass away within a year.
1 out of 3 post menopausal women will fracture a bone

Osteoporosis drugs (Bisphosphonate) slows down osteoclast activity. Increase risk of jaw necrosis and atypical femoral fractures.  After 3 years of use the suggest a "Drug Holiday"

Lifestyle:
Lack of physical activity
Excessive exercise
Inflammation
Smoking
Alcohol
Medication
Family history
Vitamin and nutrient deficiency
Gluten

Eliminate excess sugar, cigarette smoke and phosphoric acid-containing soda.
Be sure your intake of calcium and magnesium is in the 700-1000 mg range of each daily.
Other trace minerals, boron, manganese, chromium, copper, zinc, silicon...animal food
Weight bearing activity
Post-menopausal women make consider bioidentical hormone replacement.
Mediterranean diet with increase p

In this weeks episode of "Pushing the Limits", I had the amazing opportunity to be a guest on the Fit Father Project Podcast with Dr. Anthony Balduzzi.
In this uplifting conversation, I share my journey from professional ultra-endurance athlete to health optimisation, longevity, anti-aging, and high-performance expert. We delve into the incredible journey of determination and resilience that mum and I have been on. 
After my mother suffered a massive aneurysm and was told she would never have any quality of life again, I was catapulted from the world of sports into the world of health. Refusing to accept the prognosis. I dove deep into the research and spent the following years helping mum rehabilitate herself. She went from having hardly any function to having complete independence, including getting her driver's license back, walking up to 5 km a day, and going to the gym five days a week.
The story doesn’t end there. After all of that progress, mum was hit with a terminal cancer diagnosis and given just weeks to live. 
Again, not willing to give up, I plunged back into the research and devised a comprehensive protocol using everything from the science around the metabolic approach to cancer to peptides, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, a strict keto diet, and more. 
The result? My mum is now cancer-free, while she is still dealing with a few issues she is loving life and enjoying her time as a grandmother at age 82!
My conversation with Dr. Anthony highlights the importance of mindset and pushing through mental and physical limits. I hope my story inspires you to never give up, no matter what you are facing. 
Key Takeaways:
Mindset is crucial in overcoming challenges and pushing through limits. 
Starting small and setting achievable goals can lead to accomplishing bigger goals.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be beneficial for brain repair and recovery. 
Advocating for proper medical care and resources is essential in critical situations.
Persistence and dedication are key in helping a loved one recover from a serious health condition. 
Researching and implementing various treatments can lead to miraculous recoveries.
A supportive team and advocating for your needs are crucial in navigating the medical system. 
Learning and staying on the cutting edge of wellness can lead to optimal health and longevity.
Dr Anthony Balduzzi a man who has helped hundreds of thousands of people all around the world with his communities aimed at whole person health and fitness. He is driven by a passion to help families in particular. At age 9 he lost his own father to cancer (he was just 42) and this fundamentally changed Anthony's mission in life. Through his unwavering commitment and efforts, Dr. Balduzzi has successfully helped over 60,000 families across more than 100 countries through his Fit Father and Fit Mother Programs.
