Pushing The Limits
Could a simple mineral deficiency be driving mitochondrial dysfunction in autism? In this episode I sit down with Melissa Atchley from MitoSynergy to hear her personal story of using BioCopper1 with her son on the autism spectrum — and the changes she saw that no one expected. I break down the science behind it: Dr Richard Frye's research showing Complex IV dysfunction in children with ASD, the brand new April 2026 Science Advances paper linking copper deficiency directly to ASD-like behaviours through mitochondrial damage and impaired myelination, and why the type of copper matters — Cu1+...

These two doctors are building a clinic where the most advanced longevity therapies have no limits. Dr. Alexander Grinberg (Infinity Epigenetics, San Francisco) and Dr. Dave Jenkins (Bredesen-trained, 40+ years clinical experience) are combining peptide therapy, regenerative medicine, and personalised protocols at a level most people don't know exists. From Klotho protein restoring cognitive function in head injury patients to mitochondrial peptides that can rescue dying cells — this conversation covers the cutting edge of what's actually possible right now. About the Guests Dr. Alexander...

Your immune system isn't just fighting off colds. It's the foundational system that influences all 14 hallmarks of aging — and when it declines, everything downstream accelerates. In this episode, I sit down with Courtney Van Bussum, COO of Longevity Launch Labs, to dive deep into immunosenescence — the aging of the immune system — and why it starts far earlier than most people realise. We unpack what Stanford's landmark 1000 Immunomes Project revealed about the real driver of biological aging, why your supplement stack might be missing the most important piece, and how we built...

What if you could know 20 YEARS before symptoms appear whether you're heading for Alzheimer's? And what if there was a proven way to reverse early cognitive decline? In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend Dr. Dave Jenkins — the leading Dr. Dale Bredesen Protocol practitioner in the Southern Hemisphere — to unpack the p-Tau 217 blood test revolution and the stunning results from Bredesen's latest randomised controlled trial. Dr. Dave breaks down how a simple finger-prick blood test can now detect the Alzheimer's process with 95% certainty up to TWO DECADES before memory symptoms...

The global healthcare system is heading for a catastrophic workforce shortage — 10 to 15 million workers short by 2030. In this episode, financial analyst and Tesla expert Cern Basher (@cernbasher) returns to break down how humanoid robots like Tesla's Optimus could be the only scalable solution, why New Zealand is uniquely positioned to lead a healthcare robotics pilot, and what the Terafab chip factory and Digital Optimus mean for the timeline. From fleet learning to the privacy concerns, from Moxy robots already in 25+ US hospitals to Elon Musk's vision of billions of robots powered by...

🔬 This episode is sponsored by MitoSynergy Copper 1+ Most copper supplements use poorly absorbed oxidised forms that can actually increase free radical damage. MitoSynergy's patented BioCopper1 (Cunermuspir) is a copper-niacin chelate that delivers reduced copper (Cu1+) directly to your mitochondria, supporting ATP production at cytochrome c oxidase. I've been personally testing MitoActivator EX and have noticed a real difference in training power and energy output. 👉 Try it: https://mitosynergy.com/lisaTamati (10% off with this link) -------------------------------------------- New...

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...

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...
