    Biological Age Reversal With Natural Supplements with Greg Macpherson

    Can we really reverse biological age?  In this groundbreaking episode, I sit down with Greg Macpherson, biotechnologist, pharmacist, and founder of SRW Laboratories, to explore the cutting-edge science behind reversing biological ageing — backed by real human clinical trial data. We discuss SRW’s latest clinical study, which demonstrated measurable reductions in biological age markers through targeted supplementation. Greg unpacks how biological age is assessed using epigenetic markers like DNA methylation, and how SRW’s formulations are designed to influence key aging pathways including: sirtuins, NAD+ production, AMPK, and mTOR modulation. What you’ll learn from the episode:  What biological age really means  How SRW’s trial measured age reversal using TruDiagnostic epigenetic clocks  Key molecules and compounds driving the effect  The importance of cellular senescence, mitochondrial function, and genomic stability  What’s next in the field of longevity biotechnology Whether you're a health professional, biohacker, or longevity enthusiast, this episode is packed with science-forward insights and actionable takeaways.

    The power of KAATSU Training with Sandy Nelson

    Welcome back to Pushing the Limits for another insightful episode. Today, we dive into Kaatsu Training with Sandy Nelson, exploring how this blood flow restriction technique boosts bone density, muscle growth, and brain health for older adults and athletes. Key Points: Research suggests Kaatsu Training helps older adults with osteopenia by improving bone density. It seems likely that Kaatsu Training increases IGF-1 and BDNF, supporting muscle and brain health. The evidence leans toward Kaatsu Training offering neuroprotection, likely via BDNF. Kaatsu Training appears to enhance athlete performance, aiding recovery and strength. What is Kaatsu Training? Kaatsu Training, also known as Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training, is a method where special bands partially restrict blood flow to the limbs during exercise. This creates a hypoxic environment in the muscles, promoting growth and strength with lighter loads. It was developed in Japan by Dr. Yoshiaki Sato and is used for both rehabilitation and performance enhancement. Benefits for Older Adults and Osteopenia For older adults, Kaatsu Training can help combat osteopenia, a condition with low bone density. Studies suggest it can maintain or increase bone density, reducing fracture risk and supporting mobility, especially for those with joint issues like osteoarthritis. Its low-impact nature makes it suitable, allowing strength gains without excessive joint stress. Impact on IGF-1, BDNF, and Neuroprotection Research indicates Kaatsu Training increases Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1), vital for muscle and bone health, and Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), important for brain health. This likely contributes to neuroprotection, potentially reducing neurodegenerative disease risk by supporting cognitive function. Benefits for Athletes For athletes, Kaatsu Training can enhance performance by improving muscle strength and hypertrophy with lighter weights. It can also aid recovery by promoting growth hormones, reducing muscle damage, and allowing more frequent, intense training, benefiting Olympians and professional athletes.
