Pushing The Limits

Arthritis is a severe disease that's uncomfortable at best and debilitating at worst. It is a leading cause of disability worldwide. Most people think that arthritis only happens to the elderly, but it can affect anyone. It is a disease that begins in your 20s or results from injuries sustained as a child. Unfortunately, most of what the general public is misinformed about arthritis: what it is, how it starts, and how to treat it!

In this episode, Dr Elizabeth Yurth addresses common misconceptions about arthritis. She defines the disease and offers realistic alternatives to established treatment options. If you want to learn more about longevity-based proactive measures to address arthritis, this episode is for you!

Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode:

1. Recognise arthritis as an inflammatory process rather than a wear-and-tear disease.
2. Understand the importance of addressing arthritis early on — as early as your 20s!
3. Learn how longevity studies-based supplements and treatments improve the immune system and combat arthritis.

Episode Highlights [03:30] Breaking the Misconceptions about Arthritis

• Arthritis is more than a wear-and-tear condition; it's an inflammatory disease process.
• It is not limited to the elderly. The disease process can begin with minor injuries, even those sustained as a child.
• Arthritis is a combination of genetics and environmental factors triggered by trauma.

[08:25] Arthritis as an Inflammatory Disease Process

• Arthritis is a disease process like neurodegenerative and cardiac illnesses.
• Our bodies follow a balanced way to deal with injuries. It releases the level of cytokines that set off the body's response to healing and recovery. Afterwards, cytokine levels fall, and anti-inflammatory proteins take over.
• The disease process begins during Imbalance in any part of the process. It can be started as too many cytokines lead to zombie cells and lack of autophagy.

[12:20] General Approaches to Addressing Arthritis

• Turn off inflammatory cytokines through simple supplements like curcumin or epigallocatechin.
• Turning down the inflammatory response allows the injury to heal better.
• Inducing autophagy or knocking off the bad cells helps reduce injury as well.

[13:36] Arthritis is a Preventable Disease

• Arthritis is a disease that should be given more attention, as it has a significant impact on people's quality of life.
• It is the primary cause of disability among people of working age.
• Arthritis is preventable to a large degree, despite genetics and other factors.

[18:32] Current Orthopedic Treatments for Arthritis

• The focus in addressing arthritis is to treat the disease process.
• Steroid injections temporarily reduce inflammatory cytokines, but they also inhibit those that aid in healing.
• Arthroscopic surgery can provide immediate comfort. However, it can also inflict tears that can cause the rapid progression of arthritis.
• Back fusion can help cases of spinal instability. However, for degenerative discs, the long-term success rate of surgery is around 10% of those who undergo it.

[24:09] Degenerative Disc Disease as an Inflammatory Disease

• Degenerative disc disease is an inflammatory disease caused by high levels of cytokines. This includes the nuclear factor kappa beta.
• The goal is to focus on the issues that cause disc destruction, such as elevated cytokine levels, rather than the disc itself.
• Ageing processes, like degeneration, should serve as a wake-up call to reconsider one's diet. This also includes reconsidering supplements, and exercise, as well as one's cardiovascular health.

[27:18] Changing the Perspective about Arthritis

• People should be aware that arthritis begins in their 20s, similar to brain disorders, heart ailments, and cancers.
• All these immune and inflammatory diseases come down to curing ageing.
• We need to take proactive steps and opt for longevity instead of a mechanical standard of care.
• Opting for the 'expensive' care earlier will save you time, stress, and money. People often exhaust traditional options first before pursuing longevity treatments.

[38:49] Pentosan Polysulfate: 'A Cure for Arthritis'

• Pentosan polysulfate is a repurposed drug that reduces cytokines causing degenerative disc pain.
• According to studies, even after just six weeks of using Pentosan Polysulfate, you can continue to reap the advantages for up to a year.

[45:07] Vitamins and Supplements to Combat Arthritis

• Another strategy to fight arthritis is to make sure your nutrients are optimised.
• Vitamins D and C, and zinc are critical but straightforward micronutrients.
• Epigallocatechin gallate, or EGCG, has many benefits that aid in addressing arthritis. Its benefits include muscle-building, fat loss, and myostatin blocking.

[47:07] Benefits of Gaining Muscle

• Muscle, as an organ, produces endocrine glands, and myokines have very beneficial effects on joints.
• Those with sarcopenia or muscle loss are more likely to develop joint arthritis.
• Electrical stimulation of muscles can be done for individuals who are further along in a disease process.
• Static contraction or contracting the muscles for three seconds every hour also helps muscle-building.

[51:03] Inducing Autophagy Process Using Spermidine

• Spermidine is a polyamine compound that comes from bacteria in certain foods.
• Polyamine is produced by the human body as well. However, as we become older, we make less of it.
• It is an autophagy-Inducing agent that aids in getting rid of damaged cells.
• Spermidine works better than steroids at reducing inflammation. It preserves the joints without making them worse.

[54:06] Trehalose: The 'Sugar Substitute'

• Trehalose is glucose that impacts oxidative stress and helps clean up the cells.
• It has zero glycemic impact, which helps blood glucose under control.
• Trehalose is looked at for neurodegenerative diseases but can benefit joint pain.

[56:57] Peptide Therapies as Simple, Inexpensive Aid

• If you are looking for simple, inexpensive aid, collagen peptides can also be beneficial.
• They typically are part of a mixture including Vitamin C, which helps cartilage cells.
• A more expensive option is aggressive peptides, like BPC 157 or Body Protection Compound 157. These peptides can aid joint regeneration.
• It's vital to understand the role of inflammation in arthritis rather than jumping at treatments, like stem cell therapy.

[59:54] The Role of Stressed Immune System

• Almost every disease is related to over-aggressive, pro-inflammatory cytokines, disruption in mitochondrial function, and autophagy.
• Ageing causes a significant number of diseases.
• The immune system goes awry for many reasons, including viral exposures.

[59:54] Antiviral Drugs, Hormones, and Fasting

• Antiviral drugs, hormones, and fasting can help the immune system fight diseases as healthy as possible.
• EGCG and curcumin are natural compounds that have some antiviral properties. Acyclovir is also a safe choice for combatting the herpes virus and Epstein-Barr, among others.

• Our immune system produces fewer hormones as we become older. Our bodies need hormones to function, so we need to replace them somehow.
• Hormones have huge immune-modulating properties that help stop oxidative stress.
• The immune system benefits from the recovery period following a fast. It can be very beneficial to clear out dead cells.

[1:08:55] Rapamycin and Metformin: The 'Future' of Arthritis

• Rapamycin is a chemotherapeutic medication with a solid immune-modulating effect.
• It is well-known for activating autophagy, which can lengthen lifespan in all mammalian species scientists have studied.
• Metformin is an inexpensive medication that keeps glucose control.
• It has some interesting studies on arthritis. One study shows the overlapping benefits in cardiovascular, renal, cancer, and obesity protection.

7 Powerful Quotes

"[Arthritis as an inflammatory disease process] is the same thing that goes on with COVID. Right? Yes. Why do some people die of COVID? [It's] usually not the virus itself -- it's the immune reaction to the virus."

"So we know we have to treat [cytokines] and not the disc itself. That's the end game. Treat the problem that's causing the disc damage."

"...[W]e're really trying to get into the heads of these [20-year-olds] and say, the [disease process starts when you're] 20. Yeah, like your brain diseases, your heart diseases, and your cancers are all those processes are starting in our 20s."

"The plastic surgeons are doing fine. [P]eople are more than willing to spend that money on their facelifts and things like that [than] internally to feel better."

"You can have no cartilage and no pain or no discs, and no gain. The pain is an inflammatory sign."

"Go back, go back up the tree. And then you had all of the diseases in mitochondria and information."

"Be it cancer, metabolic disease, cardiovascular disease, or neurologic arthritis, they're all the same disease. You've got to get the immune system as healthy as possible. You have to stop oxidative stress."

It's the clear liquid that surrounds the cells of your body. Except for cartilage, nails, and hair, your entire body is bathed in lymph. You are literally swimming in lymphatic fluid, so its nickname is the Body Aquarium. If you have a chronic pain or illness like Lyme, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, IBS, Crohn's Disease, etc., you will have a lymphatic problem. You just need to discover how much. About five years ago Dr Perry got very sick. H had many health issues and felt like crap all the time. He supposedly got better by medical standards, yet still felt terrible. Feeling bad was his new normal. When you get so used to feeling awful you just assume that's the way it is. You forget what good feels like. Well, you don't have to suffer. Dr Perry's illness helped him discover why he felt so terrible and why nobody in medicine could help him. His lymphatic system was a complete disaster. You might be surprised to discover healthcare providers get very little education about the lymphatic system's role in poor health. He learned all be could about the lymphatic system and brought himself back to feeling amazing again with what Lisa and Dr Perry talk about in this show. Ever wonder why chronic pain doesn't get better despite all your therapy and medications? Your lymphatic system may be the problem. If the body can't rid of cellular waste during the healing process, the inflammation simply stays in the tissues causing pain. If it can't get out of the body, you can't get better. Feeling hopeless, tired, fatigued, poor concentration and overwhelmed with lack of progress in your recovery? You need to check your lymph and Dr Perry shows you how. The lymph is connected to your brain and your brain can't function optimally when the lymph is dysfunctional. Dr Perry Nickelston shares with Lisa everything you ever wanted to know and all the things you never even thought to ask, about the lymphatic system. You can find out more about the courses Dr Perry offers and all his resources at www.stopchasingpain.com and find him on instagram under the handle @stopchasingpain Perry Nickelston, DC, NKT, FMS, SFMA, is a Chiropractic Physician with primary focus on Performance Enhancement, Corrective Exercise, and Metabolic Fitness Nutrition and trained fromThe American College of Addictionology and Compulsive Disorders.

Visit: https://relentlessbook.lisatam... for more Information

ABOUT THE BOOK:

When extreme endurance athlete, Lisa Tamati, was confronted with the hardest challenge of her life, she fought with everything she had. Her beloved mother, Isobel, had suffered a huge aneurysm and stroke and was left with massive brain damage; she was like a baby in a woman's body. The prognosis was dire. There was very little hope that she would ever have any quality of life again. But Lisa is a fighter and stubborn.

She absolutely refused to accept the words of the medical fraternity and instead decided that she was going to get her mother back or die trying.

This book tells of the horrors, despair, hope, love, and incredible experiences and insights of that journey. It shares the difficulties of going against a medical system that has major problems and limitations. Amongst the darkest times were moments of great laughter and joy.

Relentless will not only take the reader on a journey from despair to hope and joy, but it also provides information on the treatments used, expert advice and key principles to overcoming obstacles and winning in all of life's challenges. It will inspire and guide anyone who wants to achieve their goals in life, overcome massive obstacles or limiting beliefs. It's for those who are facing terrible odds, for those who can't see light at the end of the tunnel. It's about courage, self-belief, and mental toughness. And it's also about vulnerability... it's real, raw, and genuine.

This is not just a story about the love and dedication between a mother and a daughter. It is about beating the odds, never giving up hope, doing whatever it takes, and what it means to go 'all in'. Isobel's miraculous recovery is a true tale of what can be accomplished when love is the motivating factor and when being relentless is the only option.

We are happy to announce that Pushing The Limits rated as one of the top 200 podcast shows globally for Health and fitness.

Episode Highlights [04:20] Entering The Peptide Space

• Brian is a peptide specialist at Boulder Longevity Institute.
• When he first entered the peptide space, he worked more on performance optimization.
• He underwent educational training at the American Academy for Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine and earned a formal certification.
• He met Dr. Yurth while she was working at an orthopedic practice. They focused on bringing medical innovation to clinical relevance through collaboration.

[06:48] What Are Peptides?

• Peptides have been around for some time, even in traditional medicine.
• They are naturally-occurring products that help regulate or stimulate a given process. For example, insulin is a peptide that regulates blood glucose to prevent neuropathic pain and other complications.
• Many things can be targeted on a cellular level with a given peptide.

[09:07] Proteins vs. Peptides

• A protein that's a large peptide has more binding sites or activity.
• Smaller sequences of amino acids become more specific for a given cellular target.
• When chopped up, large proteins are basically made up of peptides.
• Many environmental factors inhibit your body's ability to make a given peptide, such as prioritization and accumulation of stressors.
• The aging process is associated with a decreased ability to make certain peptides.

[12:05] BPC-157

• BPC-157 is a gastric-derived peptide that naturally occurs in the digestive system and helps support the cells and makeup of the digestive system.
• It increases blood flow, thus helping modulate healing and recovery processes, especially in the musculoskeletal system.
• It also helps with neuron regeneration and improves the integrity of the blood-brain barrier.
• It's an F-actin sequestering peptide that dampens the effects of scarring.

[17:00] What's Happening in the Peptide Space

• The peptide space is incredibly dynamic with lots of innovative research and people working hard to get it to clinical relevance.
• While much of it is on the bench, there are many strides in the peptide space.
• There are many factors affecting the accessibility of peptides, such as market exclusivity.

[19:42] Increasing Accessibility

• Brian has been advocating and informing his patients of what's available to them and gives them access if possible.
• Peptides that are in clinical development and have gone through safety trials require an API.
• Unfortunately, there are still some inconsistencies in products with company pharmacies that they partner with.
• It's important to assess what's going to be effective for you.

[23:24] SS-31

• SS-31 is a mitochondrial peptide that has market exclusivity.
• It targets the inner mitochondrial membrane and buffers lipid peroxidation, improving the overall system.
• Brian and his team are working on enhancing its effects by adding other synergistic materials to it.

[27:33] GHK-Cu

• GHK-Cu is widely known in the aesthetic space for collagen deposition and reduction of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Peptides should be used with caution because taking too much might compromise your health.
• It's also being used for postoperative recovery and it could potentially help reorient genetic issues and damage.

[31:15] Ta1

• Thymosin alpha 1 modulates the immune system. It protects immunocompromised people who are more vulnerable to viral bacteria.
• It's used for vaccines against viral hepatitis, certain types of cancer, and autoimmune diseases.
• Essentially, it helps with immunosurveillance by identifying foreign invaders, such as viruses and bacteria, and removing them.
• Though it has an incredible safety record, it's under scrutiny and there is limited access to it.

[31:15] Semaglutide and GLP-RA

• Semaglutide and GLP-RA are synthetic peptides that regulate metabolism, increasing energy utilization and decreasing fat storage.
• It's commonly used for glucose control.
• It also regulates metabolic processes in the brain, potentially reversing cognitive issues.
• However, it might also lead to nausea, vomiting, distension, and other issues because it slows down stomach emptying.

[43:42] MOD GRF 1-29

• Overstimulation of CJC-1295, which upregulates growth hormones, can lead to a host of issues, such as fluid retention and neuropathic pain.
• MOD GRF 1-29 promotes more robust growth hormone production.
• Using growth hormone-stimulating hormones might cause dependence because it will shut down your ability to produce growth hormones.
• Abusing growth hormones can shut down your body's abilities.
• Growth hormones are released robustly at night and put you in a position to recover.

[49:23] Other Peptides

• Brian is only familiar with Epithalamin with regards to pineal gland-derived peptides.
• Cerebral lysine supports the nervous system and can potentially treat Alzheimer's disease, brain injury, stroke, etc.
• MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide that's associated with longevity.
• Humanin is used with MOTS-c, due to its synergistic effects, to encourage greater levels of mitochondria and metabolic flexibility.
• Metabolic flexibility translates to overall system integrity, resiliency, and performance.

[57:24] Supersapiens

• Supersapiens sensors track glucose, ketones, and lactate in real-time.
• It helps enhance your performance and guides you in knowing what you need.
• It's best to seek guidance when you start getting into the peptide space so you'll be able to do things effectively and safely.

7 Powerful Quotes

"... essentially, what it does is it helps to regulate a given process. And that's what peptides do, they are essentially a key to a door or an opportunity to either lock a door of a given process or open it up…"

"[Peptides] could be analogous to a dimmer switch on the wall: you're turning up the light or turning down the light, but that's going to correspond with the given physiologic mechanism."

"Just because this stuff looks good on paper doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be good for everyone. It's really important to distil down what is going to be effective for you so you're not wasting your time and your money doing a treatment that you don't necessarily need."

"If you're in a chronic deteriorative state where your body's sort of ill-equipped to address that need, then you're going to chronically upregulate inflammation and essentially chronically deteriorate, unfortunately."

"More is not always better."

"Everything happens in a rhythm. Everything has its own clock."

"It's important [...] to have guidance, whether that's with me or someone else that is skilled and understands this constantly evolving field to really do things effectively."

Episode Highlights [03:17] Anne's Childhood

• When she was a child, her parents noticed she walked on her heels. Bone deformities grew on her feet, but she couldn't get surgery until she was 13.
• After her surgery, she wasn't given crutches or a wheelchair; instead, the doctors gave her an orthopedic boot to push her forward on her feet.
• When she took off her cast, she found that it was easier to run than walk.

[06:30] The Start of Her Running Journey

• She joined the Otahuhu Athletics Club in South Auckland at 14 years old.
• She tried high jumping and long jumping but ultimately found that she loved running.
• She finished third in the Auckland Senior 800m Champs and was recruited by her first coach into his athletic squad.
• When she began running, the longest distance in Olympic Games for women was 800m.

[10:06] Progressing Into the Major Leagues

• She started racing cross country in the senior races at 14 years old.
• At 15, she won the New Zealand road championships and Auckland vs. Waikato.
• Then at 16, she raced in the New Zealand championships in the 1500m but wasn't able to go to Munich though she qualified for the Olympics because she was too young.

• Anne got her airfare to England by getting into a New Zealand cross country team to go to Madrid in March 1981.

• Anne then came to the United States and finished third in a 10k in New Orleans.

[19:58] The First Professional Race

• Back then, they just raced and won trophies; but road race directors wanted the sport to go professional to stop the under-the-table payments.
• Phil Knight, the founder of Nike, also supported the change so he can sponsor runners.
• In June 1981, Anne won a 15km race in Portland, Oregon — the first professional race — where there was equal prize money.
• Despite the consequences, she believed she deserved a chance to earn money, too.
• Because she was only in the United States on a visitor's visa, she got in trouble since it was illegal to accept money and those who do can get a lifetime ban from the sport.

[25:28] How Her Career Took Off

• The United States road race directors ignored the ban, and allowed her to continue her sport.
• She was able to race at the Peachtree Road Race in Atlanta and continued road racing.
• By the end of 1981, she had earned $22,000. She also signed with Nike, becoming the first female runner to sign with the company.
• She eventually chose to become an American taxpayer and deal with immigration.

[28:02] Helping Athletes Grow

• Races becoming professional shook up a lot of sports and gave opportunities for student-athletes to get sponsorship agreements.
• Becoming a full-time athlete allowed her to get better accomplishments.
• She was one of the first to get the H-1B visa, which is now used by many athletes.
• She was only reinstated a week before racing in Brisbane at the Commonwealth Games.
• Anne believes that athletes should get opportunities to grow when they're young.

• She set the world record in the 5000m at Mt Smart Stadium.
• In 1982, she was undefeated in the United States and broke the course records of each race that she ran in.
• Her two biggest decisions were going pro in the United States and changing coaches.
• Listen to the full episode to hear all about the amazing races and accomplishments that she garnered in her running career!

[36:15] Transitioning Out

• She retired due to mental reasons since she started losing focus and discipline.
• Once she made her decision, her coach, John Davies, said she just needed six months of sabbatical, but she knew she was done.
• In 1993, she founded what became the largest women's only event in the United States.
• She put her passion into building that event and empowering women to participate in the 5000k race.

[45:16] The Biggest Lesson

• Her sport taught her how to live a focused, calm, and healthy life, which was particularly useful during the pandemic.
• Learning to live a simple life is the greatest gift.

7 Powerful Quotes

"Every dream is to go to the Olympic Games and you can always look back and say, 'It might have been my one and only chance.'"

"So what I was getting out of my sport then was a whole bunch of world travel free, which was absolutely amazing. But who knew where it was all going to go? So I split my career into [...] 11 years as an amateur, and then things could have gone backwards or forwards."

"If I can earn money out of my talent, then I want the same chance."

"And so all these people go, 'Well, they should be doing it for the love of their country' and so forth. Well, I did it for the love of my country for 11 years, and I was almost lost. I wouldn't be sitting here with another 11 years of even better accomplishments if I had not been proficient."

"How do you grow athletes if you don't give them a chance when they're young?"

"In '81, I was two weeks away from being gone from the sport; and in '82, I had a world record, a gold medal, and was unbeaten. So here's the difference my decision made in my life."

"I think if you can learn to live a very simple life, which we do learn to live a very disciplined, focused, but also a very simple life as professional athletes, that's [...] one of the greatest gifts that you get."

[23:42] Andrew: 'I just got it through my head that it doesn't matter how long it took me to do 50k… It didn't matter. I could only do what I could do'

[25:22] Lisa: 'I don't care whether they make it or not make it… because people who are putting themselves out there on the line to do something epic and for good and for their own sporting achievement as well deserve to be congratulated for giving it their all.'

[36:53] Lisa: 'It does reinforce your belief in humanity because we can get pretty damn cynical in the world that we live in. You know how terrible things can be. Then, you get on the other hand, just amazing people doing amazing things. It's just giving and caring.'

[46:15] Lisa: ​​'Please don't just dive into the next thing. Because you have this tendency when you come off the back of something epic that you've just done, and you've achieved, and you've done so well, to rush into something else because there's a big hole in your life.'

[46:49] Lisa: 'That was the beautiful thing about ultra-marathon running. You only had one problem to solve that day and that was to get you across the finish line —5 0k's away. And that's a beautiful purity of purpose.'

[50:50] Andrew: 'Don't be afraid to give it a go. But find someone to help you.'

[52:54] Andrew: 'Celebrate the small wins. Success breeds success.'

About Andrew

Andrew McCrory made a name for himself as a runner for children who couldn't walk. While trapped on his sofa for four months due to an accident, he had plenty of time to consider what he could do once he regained his strength. Thus, he began his campaign for kids with cerebral palsy.

Since then, he's run thousands of kilometres in favour of the cause. His most recent accomplishment was running 50 kilometres for 40 days to raise money for children with cerebral palsy and need the costly Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR) surgery in the United States.

Apart from being an ultra-marathoner, Andrew is an instructor at Peak Fitness and Health and a Services Pathway Tutor at the Eastern Institute of Technology (EIT), where he prepares students for the field of law enforcement. Andrew is also a loving husband and father of two.

Over the past years, longevity science has been evolving, with the emergence of several anti-ageing supplements in the market. However, the body may not absorb these supplements effectively enough to slow down the effects of ageing.

In this episode, Dr Elena Seranova explains how the ageing process works. She details how to use supplements, complemented by lifestyle changes, to reverse ageing. She also shares how NMN can be coupled with TMG to create the ultimate longevity supplement. There's no one supplement to optimise your health, but good habits and lifestyle changes are integral to having a longer and healthier life!

If you want to learn how to reverse ageing through supplements and lifestyle changes, then this episode is for you!

Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode:

1. Understand the aging process, its vicious cycle, and how it affects and changes our bodies.
2. Learn how you can slow down and reverse the effects of aging.
3. Discover how you can combine TMG with NMN for better results.

Episode Highlights [01:53] How Longevity Science Is Growing

• There are a growing number of anti-ageing products as we understand the ageing process better.
• Multiple cellular processes decline or become imbalanced as people age.
• There are 9 hallmarks of ageing, and the study recently added another hallmark to include inflammation.
• The top four killer diseases are cancer, cardiovascular disease, neurodegeneration, and diabetes. The older you are, the higher your chance of developing one of these diseases.
• Our body peaks at 25 and starts the aging process from there.

[06:06] Why Is NMN Important?

• NMN stands for nicotinamide mononucleotide and is a Vitamin B3 derivative.
• It's a natural molecule that you can get from food, but getting an efficient dosage requires supplementation.
• NMN is a precursor to help our metabolism, and it boosts NAD levels. NAD serves as fuel for SIRTUIN proteins that are involved in rejuvenation processes.
• NAD is vital to keep our cells healthy and ensure they don't lose their identity.

[09:23] What Happens in the Body as We Age

• Cell identity is vital. What differentiates cells is how certain parts of the genomes are read. As we age, this process can become chaotic.
• Chromatin is a substance in a chromosome. Lightly packed chromatin under active transcription is called euchromatin. Heterochromatin, on the other hand, is more condensed and transcriptionally silent.
• Epigenetic changes can dictate which areas will be active or inactive. This defines how a cell can be expressed.
• Sirtuins are crucial in making sure the right genes are active and mediating DNA repair. However, they become less efficient as we age.
• This is how our epigenetic regulation becomes loose, leading to genomic instability and loss of cellular identity.

[15:33] How Aging Can Create a Vicious Cycle

• NAD is the fuel source of sirtuin genes. When these genes are depleted, our DNA can't be repaired.
• As we age, NAD production depletes. DNA breaks and genome instability also increase.
• This becomes a vicious cycle of needing more energy but with less production.
• Furthermore, genome instability can increase senescence or zombie cells. These can further increase genome instability.
• Senescent cells are cells that forget how to do their function well and stop replicating. These cells can further drain NAD levels.

[18:19] The Link Between Fasting and Cell Autophagy

• Autophagy is the process where cells can get rid of toxins and other things that are not needed anymore.
• Autophagy ensures housekeeping and can be triggered by fasting.
• 12 hours of fasting can start autophagy in the liver, while 20 hours of fasting can start the process in other tissues.
• Eating can activate mTOR, which is another vital cell regulator. This process is deactivated through supplements like Berberine.
• Learn to balance both eating and fasting. Hear about Dr Elena's fasting schedule and supplements in the full episode!

[27:48] Why Dr Elena Launched TMG

• Methylation is vital for the body's most critical functions. These include creating neurotransmitters, cell division, energy production, metabolism, and epigenetics.
• Dr Elena launched TMG to boost NMN's effectiveness and metabolism.
• Methylation and TMG can control homocysteine levels, which correlate with cardiovascular diseases. TMG may also enhance athletic performance.
• It also has a good safety profile with no side effects despite higher dosage.
• Dr Elena recommends a 1:2 or 1:3 ratio of NMN to TMG. For every 500 milligrams of NMN, take 1 to 2 grams of TMG.

[33:31] Do We Need to Worry about Hyper-methylation?

• It's difficult to hyper-methylate. However, individual genetic factors can affect homocysteine levels.
• To check your homocysteine levels, you can undergo a blood test or check your gene variants with a genetic test
• TMG is an osmoregulator that helps regulate cell balance and can optimize methylation.
• After taking over 20 grams, a laxative effect may appear.

[39:41] Where to Start

• Dr Elena recommends taking NMN, TMG, and extra virgin olive oil for anti-ageing.
• NMN can also help increase insulin sensitivity and boost collagen production, as seen in human clinical trial in prediabetic women.
• The market has a lot of collagen supplements, but not all of them are absorbed by the body effectively.
• Insulin sensitivity decreases as we age. This is the body's ability to let glucose flow freely into cells.
• You can reverse ageing problems with a better lifestyle and supplements. Dr Elena recommends avoiding carbohydrates in your diet.

[42:55] How to Have a Healthier Diet

• Around 80% of adults in the West may be pre-diabetic.
• So many foods nowadays are made to be addictive.
• While a vegan diet can help you detox at first, you will eventually experience amino acid depletion. Dr Elena prefers a carnivore diet.
• She also does fasting with a three-hour eating window. You can start with a longer eating window and slowly reduce it.
• You don't want a glucose spike in the morning.

[48:06] You Don't Need to Be Perfect

• You don't have to be perfect every day, but make sure you stay consistent with your overall longevity routine.
• Exercise and saunas activate Sirtuins. Try to have a routine for one or both.
• Optimize your routine and find out what works for you.

[50:52] NMN Bio's Growth

• Dr Elena shares that her company has been growing rapidly. They now have a UK warehouse, UK Amazon FBA, and another warehouse in Europe.
• They are also expanding to the United States.
• Remember that no one supplement will do everything for you. You also need to change your lifestyle, which includes diet, exercise, and even biorhythms.
• There's a lot of information about longevity online, and it can become overwhelming. This is why Dr Elena created an online course about longevity.
• Dr Elena recommends making sure your circadian rhythm is not disrupted.

7 Powerful Quotes

[04:28] 'The older you are, the highest your risk of getting one of these diseases; so if it's not gonna be one of them, it's gonna be the other one… Now we start realising when does aging start, which is actually at quite a young age, basically at the age of 25. Because this is where our hormones peak…'

[12:25] 'There are multiple functions that Sirtuins need to attend to within the cell. With age, this function becomes less and less efficient, basically, because sirtuins become more forgetful.'

[16:02] 'So as we age, the production of NAD is declining. So this means that there is less NAD available for sirtuins to use as their fuel to do their job.'

[39:52] 'There are so many collagen supplements on the market, but not all of them are efficient. And actually not all of them are being absorbed properly because when you do take collagen orally, basically, it's broken down into amino acids in your digestive system. And then those amino acids may or may not be used to produce more collagen.'

[47:56] 'We're all on this road of re-educating ourselves and don't go for perfection. Just go for better, I think is a message as well, you don't have to be perfect.'

[52:22] 'With regards to the longevity field, I think that it's very important for people to understand that there is no such thing as the fountain of youth. There is no one supplement that you're going to take that is going to do everything for you.'

[56:40] 'If your melatonin is disrupted, then you will have less defense against reactive oxygen species and that there is another plethora of processes that melatonin is also implicated in and then you don't have all these benefits. And then you're basically aging faster… Takeaway message from today's podcasts. Make sure that you go to sleep early, everyone.'

Dr Paul Wood has had a very colourful life. At age 18 and having just lost his mum he was on a path for disaster, a drug addict and entrenched already in a criminal underworld. One night a drug dealer tried to molest him and the young Paul reacted violently and caused the death of this man. He had just days before lost his mother and had been the victim of sexual abuse in his childhood and so his reactions were beyond what the situation called for. He was convicted and would spend the next 11 years in jail, most of it in the high security unit at Paremoremo but this is where the story gets interesting. Instead of living the predictable criminals life, Paul eventually got the chance to study while inside and this changed him and his destiny. He was the first inmate in NZ to come out of prison with a Doctorate to his name.

Since then he has completely turned his life around and continues his work in helping others escape their own mental prisons.

He discusses the need for more emotional literacy especially amoung young men and the need to teach more resilience, mental strength and how to manage emotions.
