Pushing The Limits Lisa Tamati

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.

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 angiogenesis We 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 mitochondria what 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.
