Wall Street Macro Investor Reveals: HRV, Longevity, Bitcoin & The AI Revolution | Jordi Visser
Pushing The Limits
Wall Street veteran and macro investor Jordi Visser spent 30 years managing billions in risk — building turbulence models to predict market crashes before they happened. Then he turned that exact same framework on his own biology. The result? He raised his HRV from the high 20s to the 60s over six years. Not with a protocol. With a system. Jordi is back on Pushing The Limits for round two and this episode covers everything. We go deep on HRV and longevity — what your wearable is actually telling you, why your gut health is the foundation of your HRV, why breathwork beats meditation, why...

The Dark Side of NMN Nobody Tells You About
Pushing The Limits
Is your NAD+ supplement actually working against you? Millions of people are taking NMN or NR thinking they're doing something smart for their longevity. And the science behind NAD+ is genuinely extraordinary. But the way most people are supplementing it is incomplete — and there's growing evidence it could be creating downstream harm most people never connect back to their supplement. In this episode I break down the full NAD+ story — the methylation trap, the CD38 drain, why high-dose NMN may be elevating your cardiovascular risk markers, and...

Why Your Diet Isn't Working - And Why It Might Be Your DNA
Pushing The Limits
What if the diet you've been following diligently — eating all the right things, tracking your macros, staying committed — is actually wrong for your specific biology? In this solo episode I share the anonymised case of a real client who gained eight kilograms following a ketogenic diet perfectly. Not because she was doing it wrong. Because her genetics made her one of the worst possible candidates for high saturated fat eating — and nobody had ever looked at her DNA. We go deep on the three specific genetic variants that predicted her poor response to keto, what her full microbiome...

Immunosenescence: Why Your Immune System Is Aging Faster Than You Think (And How to Reverse It)
Pushing The Limits
Your immune system doesn't just fight colds — it's the foundation of your longevity, brain health, and recovery capacity. But here's what most people don't realize: immune aging (immunosenescence) begins as early as your teenage years, and your thymus gland — the training ground for your T-cells — is already shrinking. Your thymus shrinks 3% every year from your teens and 80% of adults carry a dormant virus silently hijacking their immune capacity. In this episode, Lisa dives into the Immunosenescence Paradox: why aging makes your body less effective at fighting...

When Medicine Fails: How Functional Medicine Defies “Incurable” Diagnoses with Dr Aaron Hartman
Pushing The Limits

In this powerful and deeply personal conversation, I sit down with Dr. Aaron Hartman, family physician turned functional medicine specialist, whose entire medical philosophy changed after his adopted daughter Anna was diagnosed with cerebral palsy and given a hopeless prognosis. Despite being a doctor himself, Aaron watched specialist after specialist offer only medications, surgery, and limitations. But when he and his wife pursued a functional medicine approach...
info_outlineWhat happens when AI makes intelligence essentially free — and unlimited energy plus humanoid robots make physical labour free too? The economic models we've built our entire civilisation on stop working.
In this episode I sit down with Cern Basher — a CFA charterholder, CIO of Brilliant Advice, and one of the sharpest minds at the intersection of AI, Bitcoin, and macroeconomics. Originally from New Zealand, Cern has built a massive following for his work connecting the dots between exponential technology and the future of money.
We go deep on his thesis that AI and Bitcoin are two sides of the same coin — AI collapses the cost of intelligence (deflationary), and Bitcoin provides a monetary system that can't be inflated away. We explore Jason Lowery's Softwar thesis (which the US Department of Defence placed under security review), why AI agents will naturally adopt Bitcoin for autonomous transactions, and Cern's provocative argument that infinite output multiplied by zero price equals zero GDP — making our most fundamental economic metric meaningless.
If you've ever wondered what the economy actually looks like when abundance replaces scarcity, this is the conversation.
In this episode we discuss:
- Why AI and Bitcoin are "two sides of the same coin"
- Jason Lowery's Softwar thesis and why the DoD took notice
- How AI is already contributing more to US GDP growth than consumer spending
- Why AI agents need Bitcoin — permissionless, no KYC, no intermediaries
- Cern's "death of GDP" thesis — infinite supply × zero price = zero GDP
- The dematerialisation of physical products (cameras, maps, books, money)
- What this means for New Zealand and small economies
- How abundance economics breaks traditional supply and demand
