This week on "Pushing the Limits" join me on this journey through cellular pathways and longevity as I delve into the inner workings of cells and their impact on your overall well-being. We start by unraveling the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway, responsible for regulating metabolism and maintaining cellular balance. We explore how AMPK senses energy levels and its activation benefits for cellular health and energy conservation. We then compare AMPK with another key player, mTOR, and discuss their roles in cellular health and highlight the differences between these pathways and their contributions to longevity. We will look at Autophagy, the cellular cleansing process, emphasizing its significance and its connections to both AMPK and mTOR pathways. The video concludes by discussing how balancing AMPK and mTOR pathways can lead to a longer and healthier life, touching on the secrets of healthy aging, autophagy-inducing supplements and the drug Rapamycin.

In this very funny, warm and enlightening episode with the very funny and skilled teacher, strength and conditioning coach, Phd candidate, author and broadcaster Craig Harper is all about understanding what drives your behaviours and how to get your brain to behave. We go deep into meta cognition Metacognition refers to the awareness and understanding of one's own thought processes, cognitive abilities, and the strategies used for learning or problem-solving. It involves thinking about one's thinking, reflecting on one's cognitive processes, and having the ability to monitor and control one's mental activities. At the end of the day, we all generally know what is good for us and what isn't - why then don't we always do the 'right thing", eat the right food, sleep when we should, exercise appropriately In this episode Craig shares in his very light hearted and funny way some very serious issues that we all face. How to actually do what we want to do How to stop our brain sabotaging our activities How to create constructive habits How to step outside your own thinking to evaluate what and why you are doing and feeling that way. This is an episode that will empower you, that will help you look at the what's really going on in your mind without judgment or guilt.

In this weeks episode of "Pushing the Limits" I interview one of the world's leading phytochemical and nutrigenomics researchers who specializes in sulforaphane. Todays episode is all about improving cellular health, the core of health, and how activating the Nrf2 pathway through such phytonutrients like Sulforaphane (the precursors of which Glucoraphanin and Myrosinase) are found in Broccoli sprouts and other cruciferous veggies. You will learn: How sulforaphane upregulates the Nrf2 pathway How the Nrf2 pathway acts as a master switch, turning on over 250 genes and impacting thousands of enzymes in their function. How the Nrf2 pathway upregulates the cells own intelligent endogenous antioxidant systems Why just throwing a bunch of antioxidants into the body doesn't work in quenching oxidative stress The impact of upregulating Nrf2 in relation to the gut How it has system wide implications Why probiotics don't colonize the gut like you think they do How probiotics (or certain strains) can still be useful in immune modulation Why you should have a food first approach The traps to watch out for when buying a 'sulforaphane' supplement and why most of the ones on the market are a waste of your time and money How long you should take it, typical dosing regimens, combinations with other phytonutrients and supplements. How to use this information to optimize your health Why it pays to work with one of Dr Christines trained G.E.M.M protocol trained clinicians Why some people have a reaction when they start, and why that means you need it most and how to adjust the dosing while not giving up BIO Dr Christine Houghton has enjoyed a fulfilling and varied career in Nutritional Medicine spanning more than 30 years — and her influential work continues to stay at the forefront of this rapidly evolving profession. As a clinician, author and educator, she is dedicated to promoting a model of health care that closely reflects the diet and lifestyle choices Mother Nature would choose herself. An individual's unique biochemistry is a significant contributor to this model. Christine's intense appreciation of the power of food as therapy began in the 1970s, an era when there were very few supplements available. With few other choices, she soon discovered the real power of food as a potent clinical intervention tool; to this day, she adopts a 'food first' philosophy. A decade into practice, she established a thriving multi-disciplinary practice, the Centre for Integrated Medicine near Brisbane. There, she specialized in musculoskeletal conditions, glucose-regulating disorders including type 2 diabetes and other cardio metabolic conditions, digestive health and infant and child health, especially those associated with immune dysfunction. Passionate about the relationship between nutrients, phytochemicals and cellular defenses, Christine subsequently engaged in research at the University of Queensland, earning her a PhD in Nutritional Biochemistry-Nutrigenomics. Christine is highly-regarded internationally as an expert in the clinical application of the broccoli-derived phytochemical, Sulforaphane in human health. As founding director of Cell-Logic, she has formulated a number of nutrigenomically-active supplements which are underpinned by her doctoral research. In addition to her scientific and other publications, Christine is the co-author of two evidence-based nutrigenomics courses: FOUNDATIONS IN NUTRIGENOMICS and ADVANCED TRANSLATIONAL NUTRIGENOMICS, both self-paced online courses for practicing clinicians and the only comprehensive courses of their kind available anywhere globally. A regular speaker at Australian and international conferences, Christine is an engaging speaker whose evidence-based presentations often challenge existing paradigms.

This week on "Pushing the Limits" I talk Mindset, resilience, the life of an athlete with the indomitable Tiffanee Cook - boxer, sexual abuse survivor, business owner, podcaster and all round vulnerable/tough chick. DING, DING, DING... No turning back now, hands encased in leather, mouth guard in and the world and everyone else in it faded into the background. Sights, sounds, thoughts, stories... gone. Blows, danger, failure, truth... standing toe to toe, bearing a soul not yet seen.8pm October 27, 2012 ROUND 1 Was this the first time she had truly 'let go', 29 years in? Over in both a heartbeat and yet an eternity rolled into one. Terror, adrenaline, fear, courage, isolation, trust, visibility and uncertainty. Yet ironically, a certainty she had never-before experienced. 'Letting go' wasn't what she'd dreamt it to be. Emerging with both hands now free to grab hold of a whole new reality. Perhaps she wasn't truly born in 1983, but rather in a ring in 2012. The referee clutched that now free left hand and raised it above her head. A stance that changed her forever. The underdog can come out on top... they don't even have to know the rules. One crazy 'say-yes' moment accidentally and deliberately changed the course of this girl's life. Through the gloom and darkness, a crack of light showed a path, a doorway she could and would eventually walk right through. Boxing was the playground that allowed Tiffanee Cook to develop the courage, grit, resilience, curiosity, vulnerability and power that had lay dormant within her and bend and twist it to her favor. The fight wasn't over on October 27, 2012... It had just begun, and she was now a force to be reckoned with. BIO Everyone has a plan, until they get punched in the face". Tiffanee Cook has learned this as a businesswoman, performance coach and boxer; from the comfort, predictability and safety provided by the corporate world, to the lessons and let-downs in and out of the boxing ring. Coming to the realization that, in order to have one's hand raised in triumph, adversity, discomfort and combat must be navigated. In the face of the messiness of life, do we fight or do we flee? Tiffanee speaks openly of her own personal experiences (good and bad) and how those experiences have enabled her to develop self-awareness, resilience, courage, independence and the skill to be able to maximize passion, possibilities and potential. She talks about getting knocked down (literally and metaphorically) and what it is that makes some of us get back up and some, stay down. Working in business, sport, high performance and personal development, Tiffanee explores a range of ideas, tools, skills, resources, philosophies and strategies to empower individuals, teams and organizations to improve everything from productivity, efficiency, culture and communication to physical, mental, emotional and social health.

Dr. Weitz is currently working on an anti-aging book. In his own words My purpose is to teach patients how to modify their lifestyle and diet and posture and muscular balance to feel better and have a healthier life free from chronic disease. When I was young, I was very heavy. I changed my eating to a healthier, lower fat, natural foods diet, and started exercising and I lost a lot of weight. Then when I was reaching my later teenage years, I was not happy being a 90 lb. weakling–in fact a 150 lb. weakling, so I started to weight train and and eat more protein and I put on muscle and became a successful bodybuilder. I won the Mr. Los Angeles competition in 1985. I had learned how to lose or gain weight to improve my appearance. However, I looked good, but I felt bad. I had a huge amount of gas and bloating and a lot of stomach pains. I discovered that certain foods, like dairy, and certain carbohydrate foods that had helped me to gain weight, were difficult for me to digest and tolerate. I had nearly constant symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. I also started to suffer from hypoglycemic episodes from eating health food oatmeal cookies and bran muffins that spiked my blood sugar and I realized that I had to avoid eating such high glycemic carbs. I realized that how you eat dramatically affects your digestive system and your physiology. Your digestive system is your key to overall health. It is where you digest your food and absorb nutrients. It is the wall that must be kept intact to keep out toxins. A break down of this intestinal mucosal wall is often referred to as leaky gut. I came to understand that having a healthy gastrointestinal system is a key to your overall health. I have been studying and discovering ways to improve digestion in order to improve your health and help you to prevent and overcome chronic diseases. I want to show others not only how to manipulate your body composition, but to help them figure out a way to eat that makes them feel their best. I also became gradually became more aware of how alterations in your posture and structural alignment can result in pain and altered function. As a chiropractor, by analyzing and helping patients to make corrections in their posture and alignment is one of my focuses in practice. This occurs both with regular chiropractic adjustments and chiropractic treatments, as well as with teaching patients proper postural cues and exercises.

In this weeks episode I have the world leading expert on NITRIC OXIDE to guest Dr Nathan Bryan. Dr Bryan has published over 100 scientific papers on Nitric Oxide and is the author of FUNCTIONAL NITRIC OXIDE NUTRITION alongside 4 other books. Dr Bryan has made many seminal discoveries in the field. These discoveries and findings have transformed the development of safe and effective functional bioactive natural products in the treatment and prevention of human disease and provide the basis for new preventive or therapeutic applications. What does Nitric Oxide do in the body? Nitric oxide or NO is considered one of the most important molecules produced in humans. This simple molecule controls oxygen and nutrient delivery to every cell in the body, it regulates cellular communication and even has anti-microbial properties that protect our body from invading pathogens. In fact, this molecule is so important it was named "Molecule of the Year" by Science Magazine in 1992 and in 1998 a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to the three US Scientists responsible for its discovery. ADEQUATE NO PRODUCTION IS REQUIRED FOR OPTIMAL HEALTH AND DISEASE PREVENTION Loss of nitric oxide production is recognized as the earliest event in the onset and progression of most if not all chronic diseases, including the number 1 killer of men and women worldwide, cardiovascular disease. There are two ways the body normally makes NO. One is from the amino acid L-arginine. The enzyme that converts L-arginine into nitric oxide becomes dysfunctional. This is due to many factors including aging, oxidative stress, poor diet, lack of physical exercise, smoking, diabetes, high sugar diet, etc. The other pathway is from nitrate and nitrite found naturally in some foods. Each pathway contributes about 50% of the total NO production and one can compensate for the other. However, when NO production from both pathways becomes limiting, then that is when health problems start to occur. What you will learn in this interview: How our bodies produce nitric oxide and it's role as a signaling molecule that sets many cascade of reactions in the body Why mouth wash may be destroying your nitric oxide production and how that affects everything from blood pressure, to dementia to gut health to immune health to cardiovascular health. Why athletes will benefit from optimising their nitric oxide levels What the Nitric oxide synthase enzyme is and why it uncouples and what affects this has as we age. Endolethial dysfunction and it's connection to Nitric oxide Why topical use of Nitric oxide creams can prevent aging skin, wrinkles, rosacea and why how Dr Bryan used it on his father who has non healing skin wounds from being a paraplegic and how this led to his wound healing study trials and his skin care range that will revolutionize your skin care. What fluoride in the water does to our Nitric oxide status and it's affects on thyroid, as a neurotoxin and how it damages thyroid tissue. TEN FACTS ABOUT NITRIC OXIDE (NO) Nitric oxide is one of the most important molecules produced in the human body. NO is a potent vasodilator that keeps your arteries open and clean from plaque build-up. Nitric oxide is made by every cell in your body; however, production declined by 10-12% per decade starting in the early 20s. By age 40-50, we make only 50%. Loss of NO production is associated with all major cardiovascular risk factors. Prescription drugs, such as proton pump inhibitors, NSAIDS, and Cholesterol lowering Statin drugs block the production of NO Loss of NO production is due to the inability to convert L-arginine into NO so products that contain L-arginine or L-citrulline are not always effective at restoring NO production NO has been shown to support healthy lowering blood pressure. NO may help improve the aging function and make you feel younger. NO is responsible for blood vessel dilation in the sex organs and is critical for optimal sexual function. Foods like beets and green leafy vegetables are rich in nitrite and nitrate that can be converted to NO when consumed.

He pursued his post-doctoral training as a Kirschstein Fellow at Boston University School of Medicine in the Whitaker Cardiovascular Institute. After a two year post-doctoral fellowship, in 2006 Dr. Bryan was recruited to join faculty at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston by Ferid Murad, M.D., Ph.D., 1998 Nobel Laureate in Medicine or Physiology. During his tenure as faculty and independent investigator at UT, his research focused on drug discovery through screening natural product libraries for active compounds. His nine years at UT led to several discoveries which have resulted in over a dozen issued US and international patents and many more pending worldwide. Specifically, Dr. Bryan was the first to describe nitrite and nitrate as indispensable nutrients required for optimal cardiovascular health. He was the first to demonstrate and discover an endocrine function of nitric oxide via the formation of S-nitrosoglutathione and inorganic nitrite. Through the drug discovery program in natural product chemistry, Dr. Bryan discovered unique compositions of matter than can be used to safely and effectively generate and restore nitric oxide in humans. This technology is now validated in six published clinical trials. He is also a successful entrepreneur who has commercialized his nitric oxide technology through the formation of Human, to the Power of N, Inc (formerly Neogenis Labs) where he is a Founder and inventor. Dr. Bryan has been involved in nitric oxide research for the past 18 years and has made many seminal discoveries in the field. These discoveries and findings have transformed the development of safe and effective functional bioactive natural products in the treatment and prevention of human disease and may provide the basis for new preventive or therapeutic strategies in many chronic diseases. Dr. Bryan has published a number of highly cited papers and authored or edited 5 books. He is an international leader in molecular medicine and nitric oxide biochemistry.

As you age, your bones lose density.This leads to osteoporosis,falls and fractures. In this week's episodes I speak to Perry Eckert on bone strength and how to avoid,prevent and reverse bone loss through specific weight training using the "Osteostrong" model. In this episode you will learn: How to do a non-invasive, drug-free approach to help improve bone density and overall skeletal strength. Designed to benefit various age groups and backgrounds, particularly those at risk of osteopenia, osteoporosis, and other conditions related to low bone density. How to use nutrition to optimise your bone health Why balance is also important to consider How pilates and yoga, balance and strength training are part of the picture but why they just aren't enough to stop bone loss How hormones play a role in bone density How muscles help in your bone density strategy Risk factors for Osteoporosis and Osteopenia: Osteoporosis and osteopenia are conditions characterized by a decrease in bone density, which makes bones more fragile and susceptible to fractures. Several risk factors can increase the likelihood of developing these conditions. Here are the top 5 risk factors for osteoporosis and osteopenia: Age: Aging is one of the most significant risk factors for osteoporosis and osteopenia. As people get older, their bones naturally become less dense and more fragile. The risk increases significantly after the age of 50 for women and 70 for men. Gender: Women are more prone to osteoporosis and osteopenia than men. This is because women typically have lower bone density and undergo hormonal changes, especially during menopause, which accelerates bone loss. However, men can also develop these conditions, especially if they have other risk factors. Hormonal Changes: Hormonal imbalances can contribute to bone loss. For example, reduced estrogen levels in women during menopause and in men as they age can lead to decreased bone density. Conditions like hyperthyroidism or overactive thyroid and low levels of sex hormones in men (hypogonadism) can also increase the risk. Family History and Genetics: A family history of osteoporosis or fractures can be a significant risk factor. Genetics plays a role in determining bone density and structure, so if you have close relatives with these conditions, your risk may be higher. Lifestyle Factors: a. Dietary Choices: Inadequate intake of calcium and vitamin D, both essential for bone health, can increase the risk. Additionally, excessive caffeine or alcohol consumption may have a negative impact on bone density. b. Physical Activity: A sedentary lifestyle can contribute to bone loss. Weight-bearing exercises and resistance training help maintain bone density and strength. c. Smoking: Smoking has been linked to lower bone density and an increased risk of fractures. d. Low Body Weight: People with a low body mass index (BMI) are at higher risk because they often have less bone mass to start with. OsteoStrong builds upon the work of Julius Wolf (1836-1902), a German anatomist and surgeon who discovered that bones become thicker and stronger when subjected to repeated oesteogenic loading. Building on this scientific principle, known as Wolf's Law, Dr John Jaquish (a biomedical engineer) invented the Spectrum system which safely applies an osteogenic load of the precise level required to encourage the body's natural ability to rebuild stronger bones. These Spectrum patented devices are used exclusively by OsteoStrong centres worldwide as the cornerstone of this unique scientifically proven program. We support this regime with a range of recovery technologies to help build strength and balance naturally, which then has an impact on your wellbeing, vitality and energy.

Ever Wondered how well you were doing on the ageing front. Are the lifestyle interventions, the fitness regime l, the supplements, the good foods that you're eating and making a difference to how fast you age? In this interview Ryan Smith CEO of trudiagnostic takes me through my own personal age report, the exceptional, the good the bad and the ugly it's all here. We discussed DNA methylation, Dunedin pace study, immune age, extrinsic and intrinsic and even how you doing on the obesity front genetically speaking or whether smoking has been a part of your history or not or your parents smoking and how that shows on your DNA. Its all there on your DNA. We look to the future Why these tests are going to be crucial in your arsenal of interventions to slow ageing. By doing these tests regularly you can plot your trends, see how you were doing against your peers, compete against yourself it's motivating to say the least. I was super excited that my pace of ageing is up there with the best in the world at .69 of a year for every year I live which shows that much of my extensive protocol is working although I am clawing back earlier damages done as an extreme athlete, overtraining for decades.

Have you ever seen me wearing a crazy, laser-light helmet on my head, with red-flashing nasal probes shoved into my nostrils, and thought... ..."What the heck is that, and why would someone ever choose such a horrific fashion statement?" But stick with me here because there's actually something to the science of this so-called use of "photobiomodulation." A lot of something and a lot of science. The basis of all your thoughts, behavior, and emotions is the communication between your neuronal networks. This interaction leads to the formation of neural electrical signals known as brainwaves. Brain stimulation via photobiomodulation stimulates neuronal mitochondria, which increases cellular energy levels. This results in improved efficiency in neural signaling and communication. The "helmet" red light technology I wear - which I don three to four times per week for 25 minutes - is the first in the world to demonstrate the ability to modulate and alter brainwaves using NIR electromagnetic (light) energy, measured through EEG. Delivering pulsed near-infrared (NIR) light energy into the brain's Default Mode Network (DMN) upgrades brain capability, increases longevity, and improves physiological health. Microchip-boosted cold LED diodes in this setup - made by a company called "Vielight" (use code GREENFIELD to save 10%) - can safely maximize energy transmission into the brain, and intranasal photobiomodulation technology is used for ventral brain stimulation. Transcranial-intranasal systems like this enable comprehensive, non-invasive, and safe brain photobiomodulation. Visit https://bengreenfieldfitness.com/vielight for more info.

Episode Highlights [03:08] What Is Photobiomodulation? Photobiomodulation or PBM utilises the way light physically affects the human body instead of light's effects on our cognitive and mental faculties. Light wavelengths of 600 to 1100 nanometers (nm) have therapeutic purposes. Blue or ultraviolet light is an excellent disinfectant but can't penetrate deeply due to its shorter wavelength. At the red end of the colour spectrum, infrared light may overheat heat or burn cells. There's a sweet spot near the red end that has a nice combination of penetration but without the negative cellular effect. [05:21] How Light Gets into the Body One way to get light into the body is intranasally. There's a profusion of blood cells very close to the surface in the sinuses, so it's a good place to penetrate the blood. Dr Lew Lim, founder and CEO of Vielight, discovered the non-invasive intranasal method. Another path is transcranial using diodes. Vielight's goal has always been to develop and design low-power rechargeable devices that are easy and safe to use at home. Vielight did a study with the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), proving that the whole brain is affected by light diodes. [10:21] Neuro Alpha and Neuro Gamma Vielight's product, Neuro Alpha, pulses at 10 Hz, helping the brain resonate in the alpha wave band. Neuro Gamma, pulsing at 40 Hz, was designed mainly to address the reduction in beta-amyloid plaques, which may be associated with Alzheimer's disease. The effect of the two products has yet to be rigorously scientifically quantified, but users have reported significant benefits. Many sports professionals and psychological trainers use Vielight's products to prepare for a match or game. After Peter was in an accident, Neuro Alpha calmed him down while he had a concussion. He used the Neuro Gamma to help alleviate brain fog while at work. [13:32] Healing Mechanisms of PBM There is an increase in glutamate after a traumatic brain injury, which leads to neurons constantly firing and dying, so glutamate level needs to be controlled post-concussion. Vielight recently completed a study on forty retired athletes with repetitive head injuries at the University of Utah. Pre- and post-fMRIs showed increased blood flow in the brain. One of the key mechanisms of PBM delivered intranasally is a change in the viscosity, which increases microcirculation. PBM also increases nitric oxide and leads to a reduced oxygen species effect. PBM increases adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels — a good indicator of immune function. The Cytochrome c oxidase leads to increased oxygen at the ATP synthase, which increases ATP production. [35:30] 633 Red, 655 Prime, 810 Infrared and Neuro Pro Vielight's 633 red uses a light-emitting diode (LED), while 655 Prime is a red laser diode with more power and penetration. Both products bioinfuse the blood. 810 Infrared is near the infrared band, and its diode produces a red glow. Near-infrared diodes can go into the deep brain. Neuro Pro uses six diodes and an intranasal. Users control each diode with an app, where they can change the power, pulse frequency, and phase. The device can go from 0 Hz up to 10 kilohertz. Vielight's products can help address neurodegeneration, which can come from repeated brain injuries usually experienced by athletes. [35:30] X-Plus and Neuro Vielight's X-plus has an intranasal and applicator. Users can use it with Neuro devices to reach the back of the head or other body parts. Recently Vielight completed a clinical trial with COVID-positive patients, wherein X-Plus was used to stimulate the immune system of the thymus. X-Plus can also be used to repair wounds from injuries in the bones and muscles. Vielight's Neuro uses four diodes, covering the default mode network of the brain. 7 Powerful Quotes “One of the key mechanisms of photobiomodulation, especially directly into the blood through the nose, is a change in the viscosity, increasing the microcirculation, and also an increase in nitric oxide, which is another great healer as well. And, of course, then there's the reduced oxygen species effect, so inflammation gets affected too. So there's a whole bunch of effects that seem to be happening in parallel.” “I think there's hope for Alzheimer's. I just saw another study with autism come out of Italy using neuro as well, which looks really promising.” “I always caution people to think that photobiomodulation is the answer to Alzheimer's. I think even if you look at, for example, antipsychotic drugs, anticonvulsant drugs, all of them, you're not gonna say that one is going to fix everything, and the chances of one fixing anything is less than 30%. [It's] the hit rate.” “It's my belief that underlying conditions that cause plaque in the brain could come from a myriad of sources, and I think it depends on your own individual profile, or physiological profile and chemical pathogenic profile.” “I think a lot of us have now over-excited brains from brain injuries, from toxins in the environment, from the wrong foods and inflammation, and all of the things that sort of happen. Trying to come down and get it in the right zone at the right time is definitely very, very important.” “...The gamma brainwave state of sleep, when you enter that state, that's the key detox part of the brain at night. And so, there is definitely something there to be sought, I think. If you can do it in meditation during the daytime, I think that's even better.” “There's always another quest to research, and it's really patient-reported outcomes that give us great spirit.” Resources Listen to the podcast episode: Photobiomodulation - What it is and how it helps.

Have you ever felt the torture of seeing someone you love suffer an incurable brain disease? Most of us have. But here's the good news: a science-proven treatment is underway…and it's in the form of light!In this episode of Complete Human, “Vielight” CEO, founder, and inventor Dr. Lew Lim takes us to the mind-blowing scientific breakthroughs in photobiomodulation (also called PBM or light therapy). In layman's terms, PBM refers to the use of light in stimulating cellular function, healing, and repair. Want to know more? Research shows that applying PBM to the brain using light-emitting devices or helmets not only improves cognitive performance but also reduces inflammation and accelerates cellular healing! Since 1995, Dr. Lew has been collaborating with world-class scientists, engineers, and business professionals in developing photobiomodulation devices, trademarked as “Vielight.” Tons of clinical research studies and trials prove the potential of PBM as an effective non-invasive and non-pharmacological treatment to the deadliest degenerative diseases (such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's), traumatic brain injuries, and psychiatric disorders. Here, Dr. Lew goes deep into the history and science behind light therapy, how it works, what research needs to be done, and its pivotal role in our pursuit to ultimate health and wellness.

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.

L,ew Lim and I do hope you enjoy this awesome interview. Speaker 2: (01:45) Hi everyone. And welcome back to this week's episode of pushing the limits today. I have a very special guest and I've been wanting to interview this wonderful doctor for a long, long time. Um, he, he has whether he's known it or not influenced my mom's journey with her recovery. And as you, my listeners will know, uh, with mom's brain aneurysm. I we've done a lot of tricks to find answers to help her. And this was one of the ones that I went down. So today I have dr. Lew Lim from the Vielight company with us, dr. Lew, welcome to the show. Thank you for inviting me to speak with you. It's very exciting to talk to you. You're an incredible man, an incredible scientist, uh, and you, you, you're an engineer, you have an MBA and you're a neuroscientist in a natural doctor. Ha ha. How ha how do you do all of that in one lifetime? And my emphasis today is really on this field of photobiomodulation photobiomodulation spread out the, a lot of areas Speaker 3: (03:00) As you might probably know. So it covers anything from aesthetic cosmetic when healing, um, skin, rejuvenation, hair growth, and, you know, um, even, um, affecting, when you, when you go into the facade physiological site, it can affect your, uh, blood circulation. You know, you can, um, can help with pain and that cause for, um, an understanding of the, what the different parameters can do it, the mechanisms. And, uh, but we, you know, I feel that there's a lot to be discovered for the brain and what it can do. So there's my mind. My emphasis is I guess it requires, um, background in of course neuroscience and these ologies natural medicine engineering thing that plays a very big part. So it of skills together. Speaker 2: (04:07) So photo biomodulation, it's a very big word. And a lot of people probably haven't even heard of what that is. Can you break that down? That the photo part, the bio part and the modulation part and what it actually means? Speaker 3: (04:22) Yeah. Um, for, for a long time, this, this whole field was first discovered in 1967. So you went through the process of being called for therapy, cold laser therapy, low level laser therapy. Um, for many years it was known as low level light therapy because it doesn't necessarily have to be laser. And a few years ago, the scientists in this world got together and say, Hey, we've got to have a unifying description of what, what is modality is. And we can go ahead and register with the medical. I think it's like a medical library in the U S then you could get codes and be recognized. And so and so on. And so I guess people got together and decided, okay, let's call it photobiomodulation. And I thought, this is a really big word, but I guess over the last few years, it kind of got more and more accepted and now it flows off people's tongue more easily. And, uh, for those like, you know, bio it's to do with the biology, the organisms in your body, and so on a modulation is to change, modify, or either, uh, generally we aim for the good, but overdoing, it can be bad, so it's actually modulating and modifying the party. Speaker 2: (05:54) So, so when we talk about, you know, we think about, I know a lot of ladies out there would be a know that lasers are very good for the skin. You'd go to your local, um, beautician and they do laser therapy, uh, for, for skin rejuvenation. Um, I know that there was a study, a, an older study on, um, rats or mice where the here the hair grew. So they use it for here, regeneration for skin regeneration. Um, but there's, there's a whole lot more to lasers. Uh, and, and, and photobiomodulation then just, uh, here and skin, um, can you explain the different wave links and what they do and the different colors of the spectrum, if you like, uh, of the, the, the, the photo spectrum or the wavelengths and what, what they do the different, the different wavelengths in the power of the hand. Speaker 3: (06:45) So when you talk about photobiomodulation, we're mainly referring to red and near infrared light, and why do we constrain, you know, this, this is his window. And that's for several reasons, we, you know, you have, if you go to the high energy, N that would be a blue and go to ultraviolet going, then you go the extra gamma rays. So then you have the longer way flying beyond new, for ready to get fined for red. Then you get into microwave and radio waves. So it gives you a sense that these are all electromagnetic waves. So it's not like they're all light. They're not all like x-ray. And, um, that covers, you know, the covers radio waves. So it gives you a sense that the longer the wavelength, the further it penetrates radio waves goes through anything, shorter wavelengths, high energy. It doesn't penetrate much, not even the skin. Speaker 3: (07:52) When you go into the ratio, grape Lang shorter than say, ultra violence. And then you go into X experience, so on, but very high energy can start getting you to imaging, but that's a, but then you get into that spectrum where it can mutate, you know, they call it ionizing until your DNA and cause you problems like cancer, but I absorbed by the mitochondria and the cells mitochondria are, uh, mainly known to be responsible for your energy. So energy, energy, anything will do you think involves, uh, energy from nomadic mitochondria now? So the absorption is mainly within the mitochondria. There is something called the respiratory chain, electronic transport chain and we all. And so those of us who study biology will remember that it is responsible for creating the energy. So this your ITP yup. The ATP and the theory is red and infrared light gets absorbed in the respiratory chain that releases more ATP E and freeze is naturally oxide. Speaker 3: (09:13) Um, that's clogged up in the chain and causes the cell to function below normal, to freeze that nitric oxide goes into your body. It helps with circulation because that's what nitric oxide does. Then it does other things like, you know, has released a transient free, radical ROS, reactive oxygen species, which also signaling molecules. Then at least with gene transcription, creating this protein that helps to heal. So you get your skin rejuvenation because it releases these proteins create these proteins that causes healing tissues, that improve collagen level. So that kind of thing. So, so it's mainly written your infrared. Like there are some, uh, debate now about whether it is mainly for many years. Uh, most of us have been thinking that you've seen the enzyme called cytochrome C oxidase in the, one of the respiratory chain doing, doing this, but today maybe it's not, maybe it is, it is to do with, um, you know, that, uh, trans um, well, that's the membrane the, well, I forget, but it's the, the membrane, the, the water, the membrane, the water and the memory layer. So that, that it may actually reduce the viscosity and help the, uh, some people call it nano meter, but it creates more ATP that we were able to do that better. Speaker 2: (10:53) Okay. So, so, Speaker 3: (10:56) Yep. Speaker 2: (10:57) So mitochondria as a word, you know, that, um, is extremely important. I don't think a lot of people understand what mitochondria do. So mitochondria are like the little power packs and every single cell when it's actually a, an ancient bacteria, that's coming to the human, uh, system billions of years ago when we were evolving and the mitochondria is responsible for, uh, the synergy production in the cell. So when you have a photo biomodulation device from say your company, and it is sending in a read or near infrared light wave, the mitochondria is stimulates the mitochondria without going into the biochemical processes, but it stimulates the mitochondria to create more energy and more energy for healing. Is it sort of a very, you know, high level sort of layperson's overview of how that works? Speaker 3: (11:57) Yeah. Yeah. Um, I guess, you know, it comes down to something called on gene transcription. So the listen to this. So, um, so I guess energy's a very easy, easy way to remember it, but it's very involved producing the right proteins. Um, you don't want to overdo it, you know, when you already do it, you overwhelm, you produce more free radicals than you want to. And again, negatively Frank. So, so some understanding of that, you know, it being low level and, um, just do the necessary thing and not overdo it, not doing it too often can lead to good things. Yeah. Speaker 2: (12:43) Yeah. Okay. So, so it's a bit like, uh, you know, exercise, you know, the right amount of exercise is good for us doing too much is not good for us or not. You know, this is why you build your fitness, um, up and in the body. Uh, so it creates a hormetic stress. If you like, is that what, uh, the, the, these devices are doing? So the light is doing, creating a hermetic stress that has them, or is it Speaker 3: (13:11) Actually, there's a lot of similarity, right? Too much of exercise to reduce the stress comes with a lot of free radicals, free radicals, not EBIT, not being able to clear it, you know, and then even under some sort of stress because, um, I actually, there was just a paper that was published a few days ago. The thing that mitochondria is also linked to the anxiety level, this is stress is you create this unnecessary Mount of all. It's not, you, you're getting the stress hormones in your body in, in the same way this it's causing you anxiety. So for the mitochondria, uh, wellbeing is key. You want to release it from stress. So I guess that's one of the reasons why a low level light therapy for the biomodulation is helpful because it just supports the mitochondrial respiratory chain, this whole functionality to reduce it. So that's one way to look at it Speaker 2: (14:25) And you've developed, so you have a company called Vielight. So everyone we're going to, you know, put the, the links in the show notes to the devices that be like hairs and all the publications and all clinical studies around these incredible devices. And for those watching on the, uh, the video channel here, um, these are two of the devices that I've had for a number of years. And dr. Lew, you've got the most advanced one there. Um, so I've got the nasal. Wow. That's a serious piece of kit. Speaker 3: (14:59) Yeah. He goes, there's one, that's like yours. He goes to the brain. Right. Brilliant. Speaker 2: (15:09) So for those watching on video, you can see dr. Lew has the neuro, which is one of the big transcranial photobiomodulation devices and the ones that I've got here, I've got a six, five, five prime intra-nasal. So, and the another one where the infrared wavelengths of 18, and I use those both pretty much every day to every second day for 20 minutes. Um, and look how good my brain's going. And more importantly, how good my mum's brain is now going. Um, so can you explain why intra-nasal, so we have to get the light on the inside of the body in order for this to work. Now, it's pretty hard to get light through your, we have a, we know about vitamin D synthesis will mirror in the sun, um, and what an avalanche of things that, that causes in the body. Good things. Um, can you explain why intra-nasal and other, other methods to get it into the bottle? Speaker 3: (16:13) Yeah, there is, uh, you know, we've, we've got this, this, uh, invented discovered, uh, in actually about 15 years ago now actually like quite a long time already. And, and, uh, so when we got to working, because this whole field of photobiomodulation in the eighties got into a stage where the Russians started to introduce intravenous and infrared light. Now, the theory is you put it there instead of on your skin and you find more power is getting into your plus circulation directly. And what they found was it actually helps a number of things. You know, the circulation improves better users of recovery more quickly from, from injuries, from surgery. It seems to help with preventing failures and helping to recover. Then you led to studies of diabetes and finding that users are getting more of a better profile marker profile from your annual examination of medical exam. Speaker 3: (17:43) Then they, and then it wasn't really fully understood for a long time, but they know that effect is systemic. Uh, and quite a lot of what we've done later in, uh, researchers in Israel, but finding a Randy, the right, like in animal study, um, to the female of the type bone of the, of the rodent. And they had a Scot hot tissue from simulated heart attack, or from simulator, uh, brain injury or disease, we found that the recovery is better and they can, can see the improvement in the markers as well. Wow. And in the, um, in the not too long ago, I think a few, a few years ago, the researchers in Australia, particularly at university of Sydney, was trying to understand because they were doing studies in Parkinson's in animals. And, uh, they found, uh, similar experiments, you know, mice or arrests. They were bred with transgenic rests with Parkinson's symptoms, uh, actually improved when they erected, like to the, the time. Wow. They did that with, uh, later on sustaining mice with Alzheimer's disease. Speaker 3: (19:17) Wow. I think there is the funding now, or to do a study on what happens if you do a probe into the brain they're actually done in animals and found that it seems to improve the markers in that area of the brain. Wow. So, so like does something, he does, you know, very close to it. It helps a lot, even though it's far away from me, it has this systemic effect. And it's trying to explain it at the time the, you know, some descriptions are used, like abscopal effect kind of like cancer, where you have to one side, another side of their body response, they are equally circulating factors, but not being what it was, but it was just, I think last, last year in 2019, that there was a paper published showing that, uh, there are lots of free floating mitochondria in your body, in the blood. Speaker 3: (20:17) So now we understand that [inaudible] affects the mitochondria. Now, what if you have now circulating mitochondria all the way the body. Wow. And then they kind of really, it just rung a bell, you know, too many of us that said, you know, that's one of the main explanations of why, you know, it has a system, your friend, because mitochondria is in the blood, your blood circulates through your system several times a minute. So guess all over your body. And there was another study in Montreal, two, three years back, three or four years back where the mitochondria also gets deposited, deposited into various parts of the body where it is needed. So you put all these together. It kind of explains from the nose and the nose is good because the, the blood vessels, the, you know, close to the surface, the membrane, so capitalism, very close, pretty tense. Then this is where it gets, you know, it gets all the whole body. Speaker 2: (21:27) So you, when you, you stick it up your nose, so I'm going to demonstrate for those watching on video. Basically you put it up your nose like this, and, uh, this is the 18. Um, so there's not there's. So all the blood in the body is going past this, this area here, isn't it. So it's actually, those light waves are hitting your entire blood supply through the, the intra-nasal delivery mechanism. Is that right? Speaker 3: (21:54) Yeah. That the nasal area is actually one of the areas where there's more blood capillaries per square centimeter, and most parts of the body isn't necessarily because, um, you know, it controls the moisture level, you know, and then you get processed very quickly. Now I'm involved in quite a lot of research on the brain and that's, that's quite important when we use the eight, 10 metal meters. It penetrates deeper. Certainly here's the olfactory bulb and all factors. Bob is always a part of your brain and there's a direct channel to the memory area, the hippocampus, the hippocampus, then we've noticed improvement in memory function. Um, so that led us to, you know, literally develop all these other things and do a clinical trial on Alzheimer's disease, which they're doing now. Um, he's also, there's a direct channel to the Thomas, which is telling us, does this, it, uh, it receives signals from other parts of body and disabilities to different parts of your brain to process it, but that the olfactory is very important. When you have a certain neurological condition, a number of other things, the, you lose the sense of smell. Wow. Early, before you went the other senses, Speaker 2: (23:27) That's one of the warning signs of Alzheimer's isn't it. And the left side, I believe when you lose or you smell Speaker 3: (23:33) Apparently. Yeah. Speaker 2: (23:35) It's an early detection. Um, uh, thanks. So the olfactory, so you, obviously you smell, uh, very closely connected or very close proximity to the hippocampus, which processes, memory, um, enter the hummus. Speaker 3: (23:50) No, you see, it has a direct connection actually to the hippocampus. Wow. Okay. Speaker 2: (23:54) Okay. So, um, so this is why it can have an effect. So when I'm putting the, the, the Vielight up my nose there, the 18 that is stimulating the mitochondria in the blood, that's passing that, that area, uh, in the brain, but also penetrating deeper into the, into the hippocampus, uh, into the development. Speaker 3: (24:15) No, it has to be technical. The direct channel is to the cortex, which is like a gateway to the hippocampus. They're kind of part of the whole system. Speaker 2: (24:26) You are doing a clinical trial at the moment with Alzheimer's patients. Is that correct? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And when, when would this, uh, you know, be, you know, it's hard to comment on a clinical trial in the middle of it. Um, but what are you looking for? What's the hypothesis behind this, this clinical trial? What are you hoping to see? Speaker 3: (24:47) Well, we are totally suspended because of the pandemic. Of course, our target demographics actually moderate to severe patients dot companies have for a long time, try to, um, address the mother form, you know, because hopefully you get a result. Um, the trials generally fail, so this is the more cognitive impairment. So now drug companies are looking into, researching into a prodromal stage before the symptoms appear. Hopefully one day they get know, becomes a vaccine. You, uh, you use it and you prevent you from getting Alzheimer's disease and they don't, I guess they're going to pair it with, if you have copies of certain genes that are related. Speaker 2: (25:52) Yep. Just had mine tested so Speaker 3: (25:58) Happening right now, but there's a company Biogen and things because they got y'all just recently there's you got fast tracked by quick fostering review by FDA because it shows some, they reanalyze the whole data in one of the clinical trials and say, okay, maybe there's something that not sure the details, but you're counting, you know, to do a fast track to update, but you've got to understand that Alabama's disease is multifactorial involves many, many things. It does not a dessert genes. It's interplay of the genes. The markers are not, just am a lot better and alive aspect of it. And a growing number of scientists who believe that, uh, this long held belief or the para beta amyloid being the main thing is maybe not, you know, the progression of Alzheimer's maybe more to do with the tower towers where, uh, these markers are associated with your neurons strangling itself from the insight. Wow. Yeah. Just dealing with the pathogens and things that don't, you know, that, uh, outside of the neurons. So there are many, many, many things in play genes and genes. When you talk about gene is very, very complex, then there is other factors introduced. We found that if you're undergo stress brain injury, it just triggers it. I found that to be the case as well. Yeah. Speaker 2: (27:38) Yep. So, yeah. Um, so, so you, your trial's been suspended at the moment because of the pandemic. That's a, that's a real shame, but what are you, you've already had a number of trials done in the past, in different areas? What is it being showing in those trials? What have you managed to sort of show that uh, photobiomodulation does and delivering it through these mechanisms? Speaker 3: (28:04) Yeah. Um, yeah. Um, before I started, uh, just so the, the interesting thing about photobiomodulation is, and this, I guess it's relates to functional medicine where you try to address this whole problem at its most fundamental, basic level, which is the cell, the mitochondria mitochondria is everywhere. All the energy comes from there and a lot of other things happening. So I guess if we can tackle it at a very basic fundamental level, then these other symptoms and markers, they come many levels above, uh, can be, you know, hopefully you will try to resolve that Speaker 2: (28:42) Makes it makes so much sense. That makes so much sense to me. Yeah, absolutely. Speaker 3: (28:47) And so what we're, so for this particular demographics we're doing, uh, like I mentioned, moderate to severe, and they are pretty far advanced, you know, almost all of them require, uh, the involvement of caregivers because they're not independent. And, uh, and, uh, so we have a battery of tests that particularly apply to them the most of the cases, but, you know, case reports we use, uh, you know, tests for cognitive impairment, you know, um, ads, you know, as I might do these assessments of cognition, we use MMSC mini mental state exam. Uh, we have, uh, uh, yeah, these are amazing. And we have clinical, um, observation reports. And so we found that we, we did one, we started seriously studying Alzheimer's patients and dementia patient in 2015. Have you published this in 2017? It's a small number of cases with the new role you saw is pounds at 10 Hertz, 10 times a second. Speaker 3: (30:08) And that is we do it because it, uh, it used the data from animal study done at Harvard and Massachusetts general by Michael Henry's lab shows that it shows the animal recovery more quickly from brain injury. Wow. So we use 10 Hertz, but he hasn't explored a whole range of frequencies. So use that. It seems to help in this most studies then, uh, then, uh, university of California, San Francisco, uh, professors in the child did a complete, okay. Um, she wanted to replicate what we did and I said, okay, use 40 Hertz because 40 hers, um, in 2016, there were a lot of publications is to do, you know, it shows a 40 Hertz is gamma. This is associated with it's one. You find radio when you're your hippocampus trying to encode memory. So it shows 40 minutes of the memory coding. It helps to reduce the excited toxicity in the brain, you know, when you're in memory and stuff like that, MIT did a very published, very important study towards the end of 2016 dates. It showed that the rent, the direct, when like pals, when you put animals in a cage, the routers or the cage you pass like this externally 40 times a second for years, uh, they, they, uh, you know, the, the markers a better, more like count in a brain region. Speaker 3: (31:51) I've heard of that study. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And they've been using that. Yep. Right. So we thought, okay, they are still doing this. They're, they're still doing studies trying to do human studies. And what they found was the, the markers in the visual context reduced drastically, but not anywhere else on your body when your hippocampus. And I reckon that's because when the animals in the cage, you know, at 40 Hertz was processed to the eyes, goes to the visual cortex and then the markers significantly. Oh, so intra-nasal no, I in photobiomodulation what we do is we direct light renewing for relax. You can penetrate. Yep. And we target, uh, and the default mode network, which is closely associated also with Alzheimer's disease. And, um, so I, so I did a case, I did a single case and it wasn't published. It was presented in Alzheimer's conference. Speaker 3: (33:00) Uh, but Linda, uh, Linda told the, that on eight patients. Wow. And then what's yours. They improve, you know, over 12 weeks. And she also found that. So she's, uh, she's also a professor of radiology. You see? I said, so she used the MRI scan FMR. Oh, actually after 12 weeks, the, you know, the, the, the functions of the brain actually measured through FMR improves significantly as well. Wow. Improving the default mode network. So she did an independent study, the subjects, she used a similar scale EDS, coffin. She did the MRI and found that even through imaging, you know, it confirmed the anxious, but that's fantastic because, you know, you can argue about whether it should be a placebo study and all that, but imaging imaging. Speaker 2: (34:07) Exactly. You can't argue with it. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Speaker 3: (34:12) That was great that we are doing this, Speaker 2: (34:16) You use, so she's using the 40, uh, Hertz, um, w is it delivered through your, your devices or through the intra-nasal and transcranial? Yeah. So it's not, it's not like with the rat study where it's actually just in the, in the room, so to speak, it's actually getting, getting in to the, so that, that makes a whole lot of sense. And, um, so I'm pro functioned over a 12 week period is a pretty short period of time. Um, I wonder what would happen if you did that for a year, you know, w with, with Speaker 3: (34:50) No one, one thing about this and Alzheimer's disease, Alzheimer's disease, if neurodegenerative, so the person would just keep declining decline because of the genome, you know, the function of the genes and there's, uh, so there's not much you can do until you can maybe edit the genes or you can change the gene in some way. So users of our device will unfortunately have to use it forever for the rest of their lives, because this is the stop, the degeneration, but the good thing is our devices a home use. Yeah. So I have to say that, you know, this, this studies are just a few, a few subjects it's very easily dismissed with, you know, it's not statistically, so we reserve our judgment or claim until they've done the full study. So that's Speaker 2: (35:56) Yeah, but the thing is dr. Lew, if you have a loved one who has Alzheimer's now, and you have a, and this is a, you know, my approach with my mum, I can wait 10 years, 20 years for various clinical studies to prove it, say hyperbaric, uh, works or, uh, um, photobiomodulation works or, you know, these things, but these are pretty low risk, uh, interventions. Um, so my argument is, well, we'll let you know if it's my loved one. I'm definitely trying it, you know, like I wanna, uh, I want to use it even if these studies are preliminary studies and they're not yet fully accepted by the scientific community, there's a value for the person listening to this, recording her, um, you know, who wants to do something proactive now who has a loved one, who's suffering from something like this, um, to, to try, you know, um, and if, if we, you know, if we wait forever and to all of the clinical trials for everything is done, you know, we all have to weigh up our own, uh, risk reward scenario. Speaker 2: (37:04) Um, but you know, in the case of my mum, um, we've, you know, we were given no hope that she would ever have any quality of life. Again, massive brain damage, unable to even, she didn't know her name, no memory, no ability to move anything by having a, um, uh, an approach that says, well, I'm going to try everything that is fairly low risk. So I did the risk assessment on each of the interventions that I, that I used with here. And if it wasn't a high risk, I'm going to put it in the, in the bag to do, we're going to do this. And then multipronged approach. Now, I can't say specifically, uh, it was definitely the Vielight eight, one 10 that did it, or if it was the hyperbaric that did it, or if it was the functional genomics or the epigenetics or the new tropics, um, but it worked and she is an anomaly and she, she, she's an exceptional case. And I think it's really important that, you know, um, we have, uh, the right to sort of in these low risk technologies to have a go, you know, and try it. If, if you've got a loved one where it's time bound in you, you need help quickly. And this is why, you know, these preliminary studies are just as important, I think, as the full blown, um, you know, uh, clinical trials that costs a lot of money, um, to end a lot of time, a lot Speaker 3: (38:36) Of people's part to actually have. So I think it's exciting that we have these preliminary trials. Yeah, we, the devices and knowing those America, like the U S so we fall under the category. That is the guidelines or FDA defining this as a low risk general wellness device. So we're not regulated in the U S in Canada where we're based, we are considered a consumer device because it's same is low risk. It's a very similar category. So, uh, so we don't make a claim because it's not a medical device. So we have slightly modified version four for medical devices that are going, this is not a lot different, um, talking about what your mom's going through. We, we, um, we have a tall, a study that's going on at Boston university for traumatic brain injury. And again, that's suspended because of predominate, but that is a, there is an ongoing study and Margaret Liza, the professor there has published some papers already, and she's got, I think some that's not published, but she's taught quite a lot about, uh, you know, money, brain injury, getting treated with photobiomodulation, she's doing this study. Speaker 3: (40:00) We, what we have she's, uh, she's presented, she's done a number of presentations. I think that's being submitted of publications in the case of athletes, professional football players. So they go to repeat it, you know, banging on a head and to get again, a CTE CT, which is, uh, then they, when a, as they get older, they get this, the symptoms are similar to Alzheimer's disease. Dementia, degenerative what's happening is, is repeat your rebuild. It blows on the head has created a situation, right? It's the cow accumulates and starts strangling the neurons in your brain, shrink. It goes to the atrophy. Then you get to a stage where a number of them became suicidal. They get really depressed, you know, with atrophy, you're going to be cognitively impaired. There is a, a number of, um, you know, professional sports, men, football players who retired, who actually wrote, have written testimonials. Speaker 3: (41:12) They're trying to tell each other. And, uh, but again, we need to do this studies to, to, you know, to be sure that it is doing what we think is doing, but you can check yourself. One of them is every carr. His last name is C a R R. So you can Google it, find his blog. And he's talking about, you know, he was interviewed by several newspapers and his Billy for him . And he got, he learned about this because he went to, he went to the Boston university where they're supposed to be a hub of research football, or retired is a American football players brains. Or she ran, he ran and he ran the Sierra. And Ricky was like the big, probably the biggest name in the research for a city. And she connected him to Margaret Naser. We call it him. And now he's writing about it. Wow. You know, you have to prove it, Speaker 2: (42:16) Even though it's anecdotal. Yeah. It's anecdotal, but it's actually, it's one person's life that has been changed through this. Yeah. So Margaret nicer I'll I'll look her up. Yeah, Speaker 3: (42:26) No, the only one, there was another paper that just published with a professional hockey player, ice hockey, um, who got treated again by Linda Shaw at UCF. And he had, you know, bringing the jury on, started out his symptoms improve. And she did now what, what she did was very interesting. That's never been done. She, again, she's a professor of radiology and she found use MRI scan and found that his, his brain actually regrouped because MRI, they could measure the volume, the growth of volume in the brain. Wow. So that is, that is quite profound. I can send you this link. Hang on. Actually, it hasn't been published. I've got the pre-published. Speaker 2: (43:17) Do you want him to wait? Speaker 3: (43:19) Well, publication. So come combine frontiers of urology and maybe the next couple of issues. Yeah. Speaker 2: (43:25) Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. I mean, this is an exciting area of medicine that, you know, looking at all of these things, um, and, and whether it's for mitochondria for, for, for, for wellness and producing more energy and, you know, it's the basis of so many diseases as mitochondrial insufficiency and problems with the mitochondria. Um, so anything that can help support the mitochondria is going to help everybody probably. Um, um, so it's an exciting area that dr. Lou, I won't keep you much longer because you've been very, very generous with your time today. Um, it's been marvelous. I'm, I'm absolutely fascinated with this area, and I really want to thank you for the work you're doing, because it is due to people like you, uh, that, you know, the, one of the reasons why my mum is now completely normal again, after this long battle. Um, and it's one of the, the tools and devices that was very, very helpful for her. Speaker 2: (44:25) And no, I can't prove that clinically in the clinical trial setting, but that is my, uh, belief. Um, and, and therefore, it was really important for me to share this information about photobiomodulation and to give people the awareness, to be able to start to know what it is about, and to do a deeper dive for themselves and to watch out for the studies that are coming through and to try your devices out. So, dr. Lee, where can people, um, contact you and your team, um, and to check out the devices? Um, actually we've got a code. Um, I've got a code Thomas T just the word he at checkout. If anybody wants to buy one of dr. Lou's devices, um, you can use that and get a 10% discount. Just use the word Tommasi at checkout has team has called me, provided that, uh, for me. Um, so dr. Lou, where can they contact reach out to you and your team? Um, and what's the best way to do that? Speaker 3: (45:22) Yeah. Go to the website. You can, there is a page where you can ask questions or you write to info@vielight.com Speaker 2: (45:31) Info.com. Speaker 3: (45:34) Great. And yeah, we're so next, next time we can talk what he does for us. Speaker 2: (45:39) Okay, excellent. Yeah, because this is you. Yeah. You, you, you mentioned, uh, before we went into the interview and started recording that this is this new area that you're going into a, uh, for sports people, uh, to help with things like coordination and motor abilities. Um, so this is another very exciting area of research. Speaker 3: (46:01) Yeah. Yeah. And also how to handle the stress of a competition. That's huge. We're also about study study or meditation. Speaker 2: (46:14) Ah, that's what we haven't covered. Speaker 3: (46:17) Study comes out of rehabilitation. It's super exciting. It's, uh, we've, we've found that, uh, especially this is especially for longterm meditators and they get, uh, so long term meditators, gamma and praying, you know, they get switched on to that state quickly, but we can, um, you know, we have another device called in Europe where we can post from anything from zero to 10,000 and long term meditators have a window. You get into that particular frequency, they just get into an altered state right away. Wow. That's very exciting. Speaker 2: (46:58) That's exciting. So I'll be able to, you know, like instead of spending 40 years trying to work out how to meditate properly and to quickly get into these altered States that, that happen in meditation, we may be able to just put, plug in a device, your device and, uh, get there much, much quicker and to a relaxed and meditative state and have the right brainwaves going. So that's um, so you've got, can you just explain before we do wrap up, um, the different brainwaves and what is stimulated by, uh, the photobiomodulation and what, what is down-regulate Speaker 3: (47:35) As far as brainwaves skies? Yeah. We are noticing that we can use, you know, certain brainwaves influence of waves in the brain, uh, hopefully to, you know, for the brain function better. When your brain gets into a certain state where you're relaxed with your stress you're processing information, or you get into a certain zone, they can be identified with certain brainwave patterns. If you are suffering from attention deficit, your brain with patterns are exhibited in a certain way. We all different too. And so we recognize that and, and there's still a learning process, you know, uh, I can give you an example. You can be you maybe not able to focus and pay attention because see your brain is locked into very slow way and it's difficult to get out of it. And you've again, so it is hyper coherence. And if you can break that up, and I think there's a way to bring it up by introducing, uh, asynchronous patterns and you can free yourself of these locked-in wow. Speaker 3: (48:52) That's hypothetical, but we're going to do a lot of studies, uh, to do that. We got, we have a new, yeah, we have this very advanced model is going to beta testing now is going to help us explore because now you'll be able to see, okay, this person is getting, EEG is looking this way is not right. And you want to change this, then let's induce certain Braven, correct. We've learned to correct it and see what happens. That's hypothetical. And I just did a presentation for the neurofeedback conference talking about various types of brain stimulation, and people are trying to achieve that state. But I think, I think we will be closer than anybody else by the Creek. And do you know, and close look processing if your brain showing this EEG, but you want to achieve another one automatically we set the parameters to correct it right away. Speaker 2: (49:55) That would be so powerful because then I'll be able to go from a state of high performance, into a state of relaxation within minutes for hips, and then to sleep and lower my stress levels, you know, and someone who has problems with, um, too many too, too much brain. Um, yeah, I need to be able to slow things down. So, so being able to do something like that and change. So which of the, the, the, the gamer, uh, so you got alpha beta, uh, theater gamer, which ones are you wanting to upregulate? If you're wanting to increase cognitive performance, as opposed to reducing stress and slowing down, Speaker 3: (50:38) You know, what I'm finding is when your brain is encoding processing information and trying to absorb it's, uh, it's including a very high frequencies. I gamma maybe 80 minutes, you know, and when you are reproducing, it, it could be 40. And then I've seen studies should be 10 because 10 is where you're more relaxed as well. Um, and then there are cognitive performance enhancement where they show you should be coupled with what memory processing data, which is required. It's very slow above four, five, six Hertz and gamma. So I know I've got, uh, and, uh, so you, you, you reproduce it, read the gamma FOS brief is actually a couple with a slow wave. So the slow cycle, you see the fast ones. Wow. And that is, that is all possible just knowing which part of the brain is being produced. So content husband, I'm actually looking at it right now, but, uh, but I say, you know, if you're learning, you're training, you're trying to process you. You want to help your brain. Like, you know, you can induce fast frequencies doing that. And when you go into competition, you want to be collected and you want to be able to reproduce it and not too slow. You want to be, you know, perhaps 10 minutes, which is the alpha to give you a tennis player. You've got someone who is very highly ranked, who's using a device. Speaker 2: (52:20) Wow. That's good. Speaker 3: (52:23) Because you know, a tennis match goes on little five hours. You gotta be strategizing thinking, not just reacting all the time. Right. So that's a, Speaker 2: (52:36) You may be able to in the future, be able to influence the state that we want to be in for that particular time, whether that's distress reduction or whether that's high performance or whether that's, you know, cognitive enhancement. So that's a really exciting area too. Speaker 3: (52:54) Yeah. Speaker 2: (52:55) And not all of us have got, you know, 10 hours a day to sit around on a mountain and to be, um, learning from the monks. Unfortunately, that would be fantastic. But if we can shortcut that process perhaps to getting into the right room, Speaker 3: (53:09) Well, meditation studies dealing with people who are already pretty advanced, but yeah, you do that stage. Like this is a step of a finger, you know? Wow. Very quickly. That sounds excellent. Yeah. Speaker 2: (53:21) That sounds like something I need for sure. Okay. Dr. Lew, well, thank you very much for your time today for all this incredible work that you've doing. Um, all the good that you're doing in the world. Thank you very much. Um, on behalf of my mum as well. Thank you very much. Um, and, uh, it's, it's been fascinating to talk to you. Um, so everybody go to Vielight.com. That's V I E L I G H t.com.

This is the second part of a rich discussion between Anita Saltmarche and Dr Nate Bergman. It features transcranial photobiomodulation (PBM), or shining LED light energy into the brain. Anita has led numerous clinical trials and has over 17 years of experience with this technology. A good discussion about which devices, how much to use, and more information about the VieLight product.
This is the first part of a rich discussion between Anita Saltmarche and Dr Nate Bergman. It features, transcranial-photobiomodulation (PMB), or shining LED or low level laser light energy into the brain known. Anita has led numerous clinical trials and has over 17 years of experience with a variety of photobiomodulation applications. We talk about near-infrared and red light, the important wavelengths and intensities of over the counter and prescriber only devices. We specifically look at the research around the VieLight product.
8 years ago a 22 year old Chloe Hogan was on her way to work at 5.30am one morning. She was gearing up for her second marathon a few weeks out and heading to the gym where she was a PT but disaster struck. An accident, a major one and Chloe was left with a massive brain injury. She lay in a coma for weeks, the Doctors after 19 days telling the family to turn off life support, that there was no hope. 4 days later she awoke and proved them all wrong. But the damage was massive and there wasn't much left of their beautiful daughter. But Brian is a fighter and a feisty Dad who wasn't willing to give up on his beautiful girl so he started researching and working. He ignored all the negative naysayers and powered through years of hard grind, always believing, always looking for the next level and slowly inch by hard won inch they bought Chloe back. After 4 years they discovered Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, Chloe was still completely wheelchair bound, could only speak very slowly, and was incontinent. After 20 treatments the incontinence was gone, Brian did more sessions with her, another 165 to be exact and slowly combined with thousands of hours of physio, a change in diet and a never say die attitude Chloe got better and better. Now 8 years into their journey Chloe surprised her parents for Xmas with the greatest gift on earth, she took her first steps completely unaided. Chloes story is outlined in my new book "Relentless" due out on the 11th of March. This book is about bringing my Mother Isobel back after a major aneurysm and stroke left her like a baby and she, like Chloe has clawed her way back.

How you doing? Good. Thanks. Good morning Lisa. We've had a little bit of technical troubles trying to get you on here, but we've worked it out. So now I have, this is a very special story guys that I wanted to share with you, the audience because Conway's had an incredible difficult journey and who did in a family. And I wanted to shoot a little bit of the story because it sort of parallels a little bit. And so I'm going to start with you. Brian, we what actually happened to Chloe? Can you take us back eight years ago. Speaker 4: (01:49) Okay. Well in the morning of the 22nd her birthday, like she left to go to work at around five 30 in the morning and when about full bath rate case down the road, she for some unknown reason the stage well, what we want you to get or not chase way up to miss something on the road. There was a funny morning. Speaker 3: (02:10) Yup. Speaker 4: (02:11) Yeah, she lost control of the car and slammed passenger side on a heavy concrete pap on. She sustained a traumatic brain injury. Fortunately, there was a, a chromo theater nurse. Well, living within steady. Yeah. 30 meters of the crash. Yeah. It has been, came out sort of situation called the called his wife came out and she stabilized Slatery way stabilized, got a breathing soon after that. Somebody had run a very one of my mum and the ACE arrived and then the ambulance arrived and she was taken to Middlemore hospital. Yeah, no, we were there and it's seven o'clock in the morning, we're gonna knock on our door and our street placements, standing here and of course you get to wonder what this is all about. You think the worst and it was the worst or most and they say cloud and being involved in an accident and that she was very serious. Speaker 4: (03:08) Accident was Neha terminology. A great 9. And right team is a fatality, so like currently offers to drive us through the middle more, which they did at great speed. And we arrived to fund how he had been stabilized in the hospital and that she was totally unconscious. Of course it was hooked up to all sorts of houses and gadgets. And then they then we were told that they didn't have the, the equipment to continue the treatment there she needed through the engine and eventually medical intervention. So put it in an ambulance. And again, we following her, rushed through to walk hospital where she went into intensive care and wow. Yeah. So it was quite a day I had a morning. Speaker 3: (03:56) Yes. Yeah. So it was, and so Chloe was only 22 years old. Major brain injury. So she's hanging on for dear life. She's in the hospital. Of course. Clara, you won't remember any of this. Nothing. Thank goodness. That's a really good thing. So Brian, I know that then it was touch and go for a fairly long time. Chloe was in a coma and the ICU unit what was that time in your life like? Speaker 4: (04:27) Well, I guess that first two or three days you are just a sideline, I observed that really, you couldn't do anything. We were totally numb, totally numb, or it was like an out of body experience. You know, the way we can tell the truth is going to poke through and tell that she was going to die really new. So it was a time of great concern and she was blissfully sleeping. Thank goodness. Yes, I was sick. Mmm. But anyway, I think on the third day Dr. Stevens straight cold us coordinating with the family and set the stage, there was a a high likelihood that she wouldn't die. It's a big paper, a long journey and go with it right at the store. Speaker 3: (05:18) So I know that she was in coma for I think 23 days, but a day like 19 or something, they said to you, you might have to turn off the life support. Speaker 4: (05:27) That's correct. That's correct. She was transferred to high to begin and see after, okay. A week out of 'em [inaudible] and after, I think it was the 19th day or the 20th day, real cold to a meeting with them seeking you register on a high dependency ward, Hey saved to S there is no chance Chi [inaudible] out of her coma. Injuries are too severe and you probably the family to consider the alternatives, which was withdrawal of life support. And I pushed a document or pamphlet across the [inaudible] devastated. Speaker 3: (06:08) You were devastated and you actually refused and you're Brian, we've thought about it. Of course you're has five runs. So yeah, you, you basically you, you know, it came to be that you lifted the life support on and thank God you did. Is that what happened? Speaker 4: (06:35) Well, in it to the little no document on the wall that says they can't, that's where they are intervention. You know, I'm on the ward. You lost it all as your rights. Yes. Brilliant. And so that was it. And everyone went away pretty safe. But anyway, just normal for Kali on the . Speaker 3: (06:58) 22 days she woke up, she woke up just four days later and I were expecting her to, you know, not, not wake up even at all. This is pretty frightening though, Brian. If you think about it, like how many times has life support been tuned off when it didn't need to be tuned off? Yeah, yeah. Certainly not three weeks on and to the drama. I remember with my mom, I was, you know, given non resuscitation orders to sign and I wasn't as polite as you just saying. No, I use some stronger language. It wasn't that way. Always still going there. And you know, so after Callie woke up, of course she had massive brain damage. And Chloe, what is the very first memories that you have? How many months passed or you know, your dad will be able to help you here, but how many months before you can actually remember anything? The first thing I remember was the patient. Okay. So you have actual little bits of memory of actually in the, in the hospital, so okay. No, and their rehab. The rehab. Okay. So after hospital. Speaker 4: (08:25) Yeah. Especially as an open book or hospital for two months to Kevin IBI, which was out in route around Nelly and yeah, so that was probably four months after accident before she has that numeric. Speaker 3: (08:41) Wow. And that was the very first one. Now the cloud we have any any movement, any, any speech, any memory of you at all when she, you know, after a couple of months or was she pretty much you know, non functioning Speaker 4: (08:59) Well at open hospital once well she had an issue with biting her tone. Yeah. We all them. So they had to end up vein was gadgets to stop it tongue movement, which was very divisive and terrible. So she had shaved an amount, the must gadgets stuck in the mouth and she had a trunk. Yeah. And she has had a pig on to tell me to be fade. Sorry. She goes, Oh, what up. So even though she had woken up, she had no real response. We couldn't, she couldn't talk. She could say us. And she made, she'd made eye contact. Yeah. The the left side of her body wasn't functioning, so she couldn't see out the left side. And so that will took probably six months to come back slowly. Speaker 3: (09:57) Then we came back. Okay, Speaker 4: (10:00) Well forget, say what, say you on a high rot side, but hang on. Oh God, that ran the wrong way. My left and right. She could say, say on her right side and left side wasn't functioning. So she couldn't say, Hey, we'll stop. Stop. But then anyway, they, it's but now we're getting after the two months when it was obviously she was stabilized and she was reactive. And little by little like pulled some of these troops and things out. But you're so stuck with us math thing. But once the truck and that came out and I was there on the, not a senior nurse sick, well I think she can cope what ourselves and we're going to remove. So she moved there and they pulled them out, I think to me, his daddy. Speaker 3: (10:59) Oh, then it might give so she remember Jude, she had obviously some functions and some memory still there. No really good sign because I'm early on in the pace, you know, it's pretty hard not, you know, you don't know. I know with mum I didn't know whether she knew who I was and what I was or anything. And Tony, you've got a very, very special mum and dad, haven't you? Yep. So you've been now in this journey for eight years and from that time that you woke up from the injury and then that whole time you've been working really, really hard and your heart and your appearance and your family been working really, really hard to bring you back. How hard is this journey been for you and what, what does it mean? Like terrible. Yeah. So hard. Tell me some of the worst things that you've been through. Like at the very beginning you obviously couldn't control anything in your body at all. Speaker 4: (12:04) No. I don't think so. Well she had 'em up a little reasonable. Not reasonable, but okay. Up. I've I've actually, but she had, you know, we had to help feed her every meal, months, probably six months. Like to go back to one thing and it might, your audience might be interested that and for others going through this, you know, I did as much research as possible. Everything. Dr Google is probably really wonderful. Yeah. And one of the other things on that that I found out was stimulation was important no matter what. So while she goes and well while she was in and and not and high dependency, she I used to sing to her. Speaker 3: (13:08) Okay. Speaker 4: (13:09) And I also used the read to this, I agree to a book laugh out loud so she could hear it, but every time I did that end, even my staying here hat right wig down. So she was selling it for around 90 to a hundred beats per minute hot. Right. Well it had dropped her 70 almost every time. So she was getting it. She was, she was [inaudible] and stimulating and that suddenly, you know, for folks that are in the same situation, they might like to try that. There was a young guy at IBO who was a boxer and he sustained a traumatic brain injury in the prefab and his training and he was almost totally climatized. So his mother was, they regulate but wouldn't, she wasn't nice gun sit with him. And I talked to him about boxing and gosh, you just, yeah. You could say he'd smile and he'd give me . Mmm. Your responsible. Sorry. Can I just, as I said, never give up and try it. I was like this possible, but know simulation on happiness. Is it great? Mmm. Speaker 3: (14:23) And I think it's really important that people treat them as if they are the or O'Brian. Don't talk to them as a fan, not reasons or over them. That's what I found very, very frustrating. In the early days, did you find that like they would talk with a car? We didn't exist. Speaker 4: (14:41) Yeah. Do you let the medical staff talk to, talk over her as like when you're in hospital? But I might've pissed no, and I made them talk to her and address that. Ava, she was our sponsor. We just, we just stuck with it. We're not gonna give out. Speaker 3: (15:04) Yeah. And, and giving people that respect, even though they can't respond, is very, very important for anybody who has disabilities or anybody who can't communicate or has had a stroke or brain injury, you know, always give them the full respect that you'd give anybody else and talk to them about this situation. You know, I find that really, really offensive when people don't do that, even though they can't respond. Yeah, you, you went to dr Google. That's exactly what I did. I went like hardcore researching every thing in the universe on brain injury. And I know like for the listeners, Brian and I connected a few years down the track with Curry and actually I was probably half a year in or a year and with mom's rehab when we connected, I think, and you rang me one day about hyperbaric oxygen therapy and see what I, what I thought about that. I think you'd, yeah. Tell us a little bit about that journey cause that happened already. That was already four years in or so to two colleagues rehab, is that right? Speaker 4: (16:07) Yeah, it was it. Well, almost daily diary, as I said to medical staff, you know, how bout hyperbaric oxygen treatment. And so every single person, every single metal comparison I spoke to gave him no joy at all. Don't know anything about that. That's not proven. It's a hurry. But I, you know, I played, I played in the open rugby up hydrocod color dry for seniors and we played Navy and I took the bait fuck shelf it before it was no blood. Speaker 3: (16:40) Was almost an old black. I'm sure he was glowing Speaker 4: (16:47) That vaccines may or the boys go and you know, we're talking after the guy and mother boys go into the, into the decompression chamber, which I had on the night device, but the next day after the game, and I said, you could watch bruises disappear now that was when I was about 19 or 20. So it was a hell of a year long, long time ago. But that sort of stuck with me. So one of the early things I thought about or have have hyperbaric Novia with it and I, I sort of gave up on it because we got so much negativity from it. Speaker 4: (17:24) But anyway we, she hadn't had an operation, a middle matter hospital to correct her foot. So while we're sitting on the there for bed awakened and I was reading books like really got stuck into this hyperbaric and I found this chamber that's private chamber in, the seven mountain Nelson. And so that was approximately four years. Oh, on this journey. Did we rent them out to her? And Jose, actually, if there's someone who's down the call, I was going through hopper. Greg did, I rang you or she had 2020 treatments of MACRA the first time. And within a week of coming away she'd be, she'd be, she got control of about, so she was before years there was incontinent, a nappy for four years. And and so that, that was just a huge step. Now there was nothing else different than we did the fixed date. Speaker 3: (18:27) So this is 4 years. I want people to listen. Keep it. This is four years into the rehabilitation cause a lot of people have said to me, it's too late. I had a stroke five years ago or 10 years ago. It's now used to be doing that for years after the event. 20 sessions. And you've already got a major, major breakthrough. This might not sound major, but as it is, as both of us and all of us have gone through, being in consonants is major and it's not fun. It's not fun as it Chloe and after 20 treatments to get control, that means that part of the brain is coming back online. That's what that is. And then you, you had to go all the way to map or, so there's a, there's a a medical hyperbaric facility down in map or a Nelson, which I think is unfortunately closing if it hasn't already close his it, Brian. Speaker 4: (19:20) Ah, yeah, it's on the, in the process of closing down, but the much, Oh, absolute tragedy, you know, saying there's so much pressure from people who know about it. So it starts trickling along, but it'll eventually closed. I imagine by the end of this year, Speaker 3: (19:40) If we had, if we had lots of money, we'd go and buy it and get it up and running again. And no. So dr Tim are, is the, is the, is the doctor down there? He was in charge of the costume, a hyperbaric facility before he went in private. Now hyperbaric is a hugely beneficial, and then if you're listening to this guys, he was a, one of the world's leading experts on this podcast over two years ago now, Dr. Scott Scheer, who she has insights and go back and look up and I'll put it in the show notes, the link to that episode because this is really powerful. You did that 20 sessions and then you went back again and this, each time you're taking Kali right down to Nelson, you're staying, living down DHEA, which is a hell of a sacrifice day, isn't it? Speaker 4: (20:24) Oh yeah, I see it. You want to have a holiday? I got him out. Poets. Speaker 3: (20:29) It's a lovely place. But in karma you had to go in this chamber every day pretty much every day. Apart from weekends, weekends I got to go shopping. She's an expensive daughter, isn't she? So how many sessions did you end up having a map or Brian? Speaker 4: (20:52) 195, I think. Speaker 3: (20:54) 95 of the medical grade hyperbaric treatments in as she progressed. What were the things that you saw come back online? Cause when I met she was fully in a wheelchair, unable to stand or anything like that. What happened over there? 185 sessions. There's a lot of sessions, but that's, it's nothing when you compared to a lifetime. Speaker 4: (21:18) Oh yeah. Like it was well it just changed everything. She, she gained weight gain control of her alum. So her feet, you know, the walking out of it, she doesn't and I, I'm a high Walker. Speaker 3: (21:39) Yep. Yep, yep. Speaker 4: (21:40) And she has to have somebody in front of it pulling in somebody behind my conception 40th and the tray. That's as good as she had got. After half the Brack, she was able to walk to the gutter frame and assisted, you know, over a period of talking to them while we were down there. So her fake placement there was a first thing I noticed was probably after 40 stations she could manage her feet and place them in the right place instead of getting them 10 without. So then she was stable on like other friends. So it didn't make a person in front of the person to be healthy. And from that she's going on, she entering the Walker and now she's four, she's walking through and we'll link to basketball court. Speaker 3: (22:27) Wow. Probably tell you you were on television recently. We'd show because it was a Christmas miracle that you gave to your dad. What did, what did you do? May and Jane organized, did they own seven shop? Oh, I wanted to be on TV. Hey, curious, why not? And you showed them and this buddy you showed your dad and your mom, you for the first time taking some steps, is that right? Yeah. And I caught it on camera. I'll put the link to that guy, that video. Guys, these are copies for your steps. Now this is after 195 hyperbaric sessions, thousands of hours of physio therapy. Goodness knows what else you've done as well, Brian, for everything you've done, everything under the sun, pretty much. If someone sees this weird musical therapy, have you stuck? I've got lasers that I stick up mom's nose. I've done everything possible. Speaker 3: (23:33) Yeah, I've still got that. I actually think it's great. You know, in other words, we didn't just, both of us approach this with try everything. If it's risky, try it. And if it's risky, we'll weigh up the risks and we'll have a go at it and research like how, and take responsibility. Don't wait for the medical professionals to give you the go ahead. Don't wait for the green light for hyperbaric therapy. You know, this isn't an advert for five very clear free, but it is a very powerful therapy if you have enough sessions. And it's just an absolute travesty that Maffra is perhaps closing because the regulations around the just terrific. That made it very, very difficult from what I hear for dr terms to function and you leave are these stories. My mum has had 250, half of Barrick sessions. I ended up buying a, what they called a mild hyperbaric chamber, which is not as good as the one in Maffra, but it was the best that we could do. I had the first 53 sessions with you in a, in a proper, if you want to call it then a proper chamber. But it was through a dive company and it was, you know, taken off and we couldn't use it anymore. And I created that would giving me enough brain back of mom's brain that I could then teach you to walk and to do the things. And the same would have been with you I Brian with the, with the, with the policies coming back. Speaker 4: (25:05) Oh yeah, absolutely. And I like fake placements, quite important now with ums and she's got control of them. And I put that down to hyperbaric because nothing else is, well, she's had lots and lots and lots, lots and stuff. But I suppose that's been one of the pickiest parts of the puzzle and putting it back together. Speaker 3: (25:32) It's the key of it because it ha so what hyper hyperbaric does people is it hyper oxygenates your your body. So you're getting about seven times the amount of oxygen into the body and it's compressing the oxygen molecules so that it can actually pass through the blood brain barrier to the parts of the brain that are damaged but not deed. So the deed pats were unable to bring back. But typically around the deep parts of tissue there is what they call way ischemic penumbra and these are cells that are alive but they're not functioning. And these are the ones that we can hopefully target with hyperbaric and bring back. It also hits the inflammation pathways in the brain and in the body. And it also helps produce more STEM cells and all of these things help the body to repair it. So it's not a quick fix. Speaker 3: (26:18) It's something that you need to have a lot of sessions in. But as you can see with probably after four years of not getting very far at all and then having these 185 sessions over the period of, I don't know, a year and a half, two years, she's now walking that is massive. She now has control over her bowels and 40 in control over a hell of a lot more. Whose features also improved greatly, hasn't it? Karma. You're talking pretty now? Cause when I, when I meet slow, yeah. I think when I met you it was quite slow. It was. It was, and that's a huge difference. So it's a hugely powerful and you've got your whole life ahead. You're a super young lady and I know that you've got your 30th birthday coming up. Is that right? You're invited. Oh, I'm invited. It's fantastic. Speaker 3: (27:09) I'll try and get to that point. And so Chloe's dad and I have had sort of exchanged notes along the road, however we, Brian and given each other tips, some trucks of what we've learned along the way. And this has been really a multipronged approach. It's not just the one thing, a huge part of it has been hyperbaric, but it's also thousands of hours and the therapists and training and retraining the mind. It's having the guts and the determination like if Brian wasn't such a feisty, don't take any shirts person who is going to push through every barrier and if I wasn't the same then I don't think mum or Chloe would we be with AR. And by the same token, Chloe and mum are also identical and that they are fighters. They are people that persist that resilient. The positivity that Callie brings to this really difficult journey is nothing short of mind blowing. I've been absolutely astounded to watch you over the last few years on how you've just fought your, your differently. A chip off the old block, aren't you daughter? Speaker 3: (28:23) I have lots of grit. Exactly. So call me. You are just a couple of weeks away from running your first marathon when the accident happened. Day one. So I forgot. I forgot. You'd already need the one. Sorry. I was going to do it and then you want to smash that toe. I'll tell you what though, that dream is still alive in you, isn't it? To athlete again, get out there and race and be in a, in a, in a racing, you've actually done a fiveK , is that right? Yeah. Fun run. And you did it on your, your frame at that time. Zimmer frame funding. Yeah. Speaker 4: (29:14) She doesn't, well, yeah, I guess because it, but yeah, she doesn't walk. Oh by Southwest. We have lots of people around helping her. Oh, and encourage her, right. Very steep that she needed. Speaker 3: (29:30) Yeah. That's insane. That is so amazing. Chloe, you've got mum, I'm up to two Ks with mum. The five K's yet. And story in Brian's story is in my new book, which is coming out in match called relentless. And it's, it's another example of an incredible comeback story. And that's why I was really keen to share this. And Brian is hopefully gonna write the book one day and Brian and chloe, you're gonna get the bums into here and share this insight as well. Even though writing a book is a mission. I hope so because this is an incredible story, Callie and it's not finished yet and she's still got a week wise to go on on. Definitely to get full independence. Ron, do you think Chloe will ever reach full, full independence again and be able to no flat on her own or, or live in a house with, with flatmates and they talked to them. Speaker 4: (30:28) Oh, without a doubt. But they have a death. Speaker 3: (30:30) Really? That's amazing. So at the moment you with mum and dad? Yeah. Yeah. And yet are you sick and mum and dad, do you want your own independence? He goes away sometimes. So it's okay. It's just you and ma and then you girls go shopping, but more on spend. Spend some more money there. Yeah. Yeah. Doesn't really like shopping. They keep a grip on it. They'll say, Oh, hype site. So I call it. What are the next steps in your journey? What are you working on at the moment? Because you're always working on something. Hey. Yeah. To be able to walk without the Walker. Oh, like a long period of time. Yep. Yep. And what are the things that she's struggling with Brian in that respects as a balance or spatial awareness or con coordinating your face and things. Don't Speaker 4: (31:28) A balance really chase get, you know, like every day she gets better at it. You're like, we, we have been away to Tyro since Christmas or so before Christmas. And even I notice even though we're here all the time with it, even I know she can climb the stairs and stairs now with minimal assistance, whereas at Christmas it was, you know, you have to keep a class on I, but she can do it all by herself. Now just with my mind, Speaker 3: (32:00) Are you using functional neurology? That's something that I'd highly recommend you go out and start looking into if you haven't to Willy, which is using a, so doing things like with your eyes balancing, you know, different eye exercises that really helped me with non, with your facial awareness and who balance stuff. So if you, if you, are you doing that at all with, with PI? Speaker 4: (32:20) Yeah. maybe they're not that I'm aware of. Exactly. If you could save me that. Speaker 3: (32:26) Yeah, I'll send you a couple of videos. I'm in links to doctors who, who teach this online. I'd also recommend you go to a good car, Frank, cause it knows about functional neurology or I'm not sure if there's up in Oakland or not, but and just get things looked at it from that perspective because adjusting the bet can also help with I've got mum at the chiropractor at the moment, we're trying to straighten out. It's fine. Of course things are going a little bit skew with after four years of being, you know, leaned over on one side and that can help with neurological function as well. So it's just say people like it's really important to share these insights and information with each other cause we're still learning, we're still growing, we're moving forward. And each time you come, you take a step forward, you actually come up against a new obstacle. I've found a Braun, there's something that, some new place that you haven't thought about. A new, a new level, a new deal sort of thing. Speaker 4: (33:19) Yeah. You know, like the other thing that I think is important is as I'm assessing the notes that you know, the right to make a significant difference as well. I think Speaker 3: (33:33) The right food for our brain is really, really important. And having good high fats, good Omega threes, really important. I have a whole regime of different supplements that I also have mum on. And we also do something called epigenetic testing. And I got into this Brian, it looks because it looks at your gene genetic makeup and how they're expressing now and gives the exact right diet for that person's genes. So it'd be something that we Speaker 4: (34:02) Yeah, for sure. I like look at them. Speaker 3: (34:07) Yeah. Cause I think what, what, what the key takeaway from this guys is obviously hyperbarics really important. Second is resilience in fight in persistence and not giving up in certainly having the support of a wonderful family or friends or people that can help anyone going through a drama like this and being resilient and then also the right diet and taking a really multipronged approach. Not just relying on drugs, not relying on just physio. It's not enough. It's not enough. It's a part of the puzzle, but it's, it's not, it's not enough for brain injury, but there is a way back and there is quality of life. You know, Chloe, you're pretty happy lighting it nowadays that you, you always seem to be jetting around the place and having all travel. You love travel, you've got a wonderful family. You're moving again, you're walking in, you're going somewhere, you've got your job, sort of sit for the next couple of years. What do you get yourself back to? More independence and, but near as quality of life and nearest happiness. Fear and it sounds, yeah, it's an amazing story guys. Brian, are there any last words or closing any last words that you want to encourage people who might be going through hardships? It doesn't even need to be brain injury, but just hard times. Speaker 4: (35:23) Well, I, you know, I, my bag disappointment through or laser as a, a number of the professionals just don't get it. And you know, like a lot, probably more than 50% of the you know, they use psychologists if you like. Have said in front of Chloe, you'll never walk again. You've got unrealistic expectations to hit face. And some of them say, you know, you'll never have you know, never have a pattern in your life and you got any issue and you're going to get [inaudible] don't get used to it. That's, that's how it's going to be. The phone a lot. And I've got so angry and in front of people, I never quite lose it, but I felt like Speaker 3: (36:21) A few times and my big brother have lost it toe a few times. Speaker 4: (36:27) Yeah. And it's just stupid. They put themselves up as so called experts and they, yeah, I know nothing for those facts. We just kept them. You don't want to know anything about them. I've tried them in the door. That's it. We're not coming back. We keep looking and, and we've had some absolutely wonderful caregivers or professionals that are help Chi and, and an event like I, we keep changing providers cause he goes to speech therapists almost every two or three years until we find the right one. But they run out of ideas. They run out of experience and colleagues continue to improve. So therefore some of them you get to a stage where they've topped out, I don't know any more and can't take it to the next stage. Or the challenge is to find the next person who can take it to the next day. And we've been relentless at that nonsense and we look constantly for people that can help. And we just kept the negative ones there immediately. Non-Native might, I don't know. And I just really totally surprises me how how these people lie and I still operate and I just wonder how many people get discouraged by that and just accept it. We're, you know, we document, Speaker 3: (37:52) No, we don't. And, and, and we've, you know, like the thing is like, we're feisty fighters. We, we not people that give up and how many people go under the bus who don't have feisty daughters or fathers or people that will help them. I had times at the hospital where, like in front of my mum, I remember vividly, we had a, we were finally got into a physio program and of course she wasn't ICC like you guys. So we didn't get a lot of support. And I finally got her into a physio program after a year and we did this training with him, which was excellent. And he preceded, I could have done more in my, you know, when lunch break than they did. And at the end of the six weeks, they'd done all these tests with here and they'd talk to her like she was an idiot. Speaker 3: (38:35) And we were in this panel that we had to present the senior, that we were allowed to stay in the program. And we were taken into this room and I said to her, look, Isabel is below the level of the worst dementia patient we've seen. There is excellently no hope. She will never do anything again. We not going to continue in the program and this is in front of my mum. Right. And, and I just turned around to my mum and I said how does it make you feel mum? And she said, well, I was feeling quite empowered until I heard that, that I'm below the level of dementia patient now I'm absolutely depressed and I don't know what to think. And the mouths dropped open. They have never heard her speak a full sentence because that talked down to her, realized she had an intelligence via that they, they had ignored. And these are the professionals, the doctors, they send the fuzzier therapists and you know, I'm not saying that all like that from pig. God, they're not complete idiots. We told them to stop the program. Speaker 3: (39:42) I bet you've seen hates cause I've seen hates and in people who had told me, even, you know, good physios who would come to the end of their abilities, who told me you won't get any more rubbish. Yeah. And you can imagine when you've got a 78 year old how they're even more so, because they're like, she's 78. What do you want? You know, made it go, no, she's my mum and I'm going to fight and I wanted to live to 120, you know, then my attitude and I'm not, I'm not, I'm not happy with where we're at it, I'm very, I'm glad we're here but I want more and Callie wants more. We keep looking for the next layer of people that can help us and that's why we keep exchanging ideas and I've got a couple for Chloe to look into. So Speaker 4: (40:36) Yeah, I guess that that was really my point. I think just don't give up and when you get a divorce that you don't think is right, seek a second opinion or just go elsewhere and I just tell them out. They're not talking to our my niece has just qualified as a medical doctor and I said to her, she was here just over Christmas period. Said to her, what you know, what did they teach your bed? Hyperbaric oxygen treatment. And she said nothing. Nothing, absolutely nothing. Absolutely stupid as that I've been back works for almost, even though I dislocated my shoulder playing rugby years and years ago. And when they told me what I need a shoulder reconstruction thought and I was functioning okay. But I couldn't wash my hair with my left. Well wash it with my right. But so I put up with that for years and years and after that first 20 treatments, Speaker 3: (41:35) Yeah. Wow. What's flowing? No question. That there's no growth like crazy me. It does. We don't ask Dr. Scott share who was on this you know, earlier this, this podcast he said to me, if we can get three treatments, if anybody who's had a heart attack or stroke within a few days we can have the mortality. Right. And I see, why the hell is this not an every single ICU in the world. And you see, because there's no money to be made in it. He said that I'm a doctor, this is not from [inaudible] the company behind it, the clinical trials, they won't do anything cause you can't patient oxygen and they can't make money out of it. And unfortunately that is the general state of our health system. It's very pharmacological based and it's very surgery based. And while that brilliant surgery and the brilliant at those parts of the puzzle, they're not good when it comes to chronic health management and they're no good when it comes to a situation like this. And that's why, you know, I know this is controversial, unnoticeable piss some people off, but this is our experience and it needs to be shared because there's a hundred other people that will back up what we're saying a thousand other people. Yeah. Interesting enough. Was the next a customer in the door, was that an American lady? And we're talking about, she said, well, funnily enough, almost every new mall would you go on until you are in the States nowadays as a wellness clinic. Speaker 3: (43:33) There you go. Yeah, it's growing and, and, and the popping up. We'll have New Zealand. I opened the clinic here with a, what they call a mild hyperbaric facility with, so we can't afford the big ones with the big medical grade, but they are justice just about as good, not quite as good, but it just about as good, they don't have a hundred percent oxygen and these are popping up all over the country. So you guys, if you want to find out about it, this is not just for people with brain injuries. This is for people who want an anti aging. Good for you, for athletes. This is good for healing wounds. This is absolutely proven stuff. And there is clinical trials. I have a season. It is a powerful and by the same token, there's a hundred other Sierra pays or biohacking or whatever you want to call it, stuff out there that is worth looking into. Speaker 3: (44:21) We can't give recommendations for everything there is, but there's a hell of a lot that I've tried. And all combined together. Nope. Do the restaurant, do the risk assessment yourself. And if you think it's for you, go for it. And don't be told what you can and you can't do. And you know, just keep powering on clothing. Brian, you've been fantastic today. Thank you so much for sharing your story. It's really awesome. It's so important Chloe, that you get out there and you tell people this journey that you've been on, there's a reason why you've been through this. We've got to tune it into a positive, even though it's been health, you and your family. This is why the book for me is important to get it out there, to share these insights so that other people don't have to have it as hard as we did. Speaker 3: (45:11) And if we can help people then it's great. So if anybody wants to reach out to calling weaker, they find you guys your famous snare Chloe. Yeah, my Danny that drew runnings, my Facebook page, my journey back to running Facebook. So clubby Hogan on Facebook and I can find you the year under Chloe Hogan. That be right. Chloe is Hogan. Okay. Chloe, Ms. Hogan, what a complicated name you've got. Wow. That is very fancy. So fire was my granddad. Oh wow. That's a pretty cool name. So Chloe, Amy's Hogan, if anyone wants to reach out to Corey, I'm sure she'd love to hear from you. If anyone wants to reach out to me or to Brian, please let us know. You can email me and I can pass any messages on. If you've got any questions. Thank you very much guys for sharing your story. We've got to get it out there more.

I have tightening in muscles in my arms and shoulders which makes it difficult to breathe while walking. Has anyone had success dealing with this problem?I am taking mars venus superfood with minerals and detox lemonade. Has anyone had success with this protocol? Had anyone ever tried near infrared saunas with any success for Parkinson's symptoms? Please explain and compare the advantages of three therapies: Electromagnetic Pulse Therapy (BEMER), photobiomodulation (Vielight) and Biontology.I have problems sticking with a program of recovery that is helping me feel better. Have you witnessed this type of cycle? Please provide insights in how to getting past this. Why does Parkinson's progress in many Parkinson's patients? Is it psychological or is there an underling disease mechanism at play? Robert Rodgers PhD Founder Parkinsons Recovery Road to Recovery from Parkinsons Disease https://www.parkinsonsdisease.me
Dr. Lew Lim discusses his new invention - the X-Plus photobiomudation device and its potential application for symptoms of Parkinsons Disease and Alzheimer's. It can be used in conjunction with the Vielight Neuro Gamma device that many listeners of Parkinsons Recovery Radio have already been using. Neurons are cells that contain mitochondria. Photobiomodulation energizes neuronal mitochondria, triggering a cascade of beneficial cellular functions. Potential benefits are neuroprotective effects, self-repair mechanisms and enhanced function. Vielight’s patented intranasal stimulation technology and microchip LED technology are innovative tools for brain photobiomodulation. Intranasal photobiomodulation is the most efficient method for light energy to reach the brain. Different from electrical and magnetic stimulation, photobiomodulation uses light energy (or photons) of specific wave lengths and power density to simulate cellular function. The company, Vielight, has generously offered followers of Parkinsons Recovery a 10% discount off orders of any of their photobiomodulation devices. After 6 months of use, users can return product for an 80% refund.

is one of the smartest, most cutting-edge physicians I've ever met. In one single dinner in San Francisco with him, I learned... ...how he's using the nootropic methylene blue for solving a difficult medical case... ...how he's upgrading stem cells to make them far more potent... ...how he's treating depression effectively in as little as 20 minutes with a special brew that includes ketamine, NAD and vitamin IV's... ...how he's reversing musculoskeletal disorders using something called "hydrodissection"... ...and much, much more... Dr. Cook founded BioReset Medical Corporation and as acting President, operates a Regenerative Medicine and Pain Medicine practice that offers leading edge non-surgical solutions in orthopedic medicine, sports medicine, regenerative pain medicine, and stem cell medicine. He is a board-certified anesthesiologist with over 20 years of experience in medical practice. Currently Dr. Cook is President of California Anesthesia, Anesthesiologist, Interventional Pain management, and Regenerative Medicine and Medical Director of the National Surgery Center, Los Gatos, CA. In addition, he sits on the scientific advisory board of several high profile medical companies including BM DOC, FREMEDICA & VASPER SYSTEMS. Dr. Cook’s early career as an anesthesiologist and medical director of an outpatient surgery center that specializes in sports medicine and orthopedic procedures provided invaluable training in the skills that are needed to become a leader in the emerging fields of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound imaging, nerve hydrodissection, and stem cell medicine. During our discussion, you'll discover: -What Dr. Cook did with methylene blue, and how he activated it with light...8:55 Met an expert who used it to treat interstitial cystitis, a condition that causes very painful bladder that is difficult to treat. Administered via IV, then uses blue LED light over it. There's a micro biome in the bladder. Blue light causes methylene to absorb into the bladder. Dislocates infections from the wall of the bladder. -Hydrodissection: What it is, and how it differs from prolotherapy...14:35 Sticking a needle under direct vision via ultrasound into a tissue plain in-between two muscles. Operating in a fascial plain: arteries, veins, tendons. Previous procedures involving dissection would cause scarring, sometimes leaving patients in worse shape than when they started. Pressure of fluid separating the tissue plain reduces scarring. How is it different from prolotherapy: Prolotherapy treats ligamentous laxity (joints) Hydrodissection treats the nerves and arteries that go into the joints. Treatments are done in tandem. Combination of ultrasound and x-ray is called fusion. Dr. Cook used this therapy with the Washington Nationals baseball team. -How to think of ground force going through the body...23:45 You must have structural integrity in the nerves. As force (from punching a punching bag for example) moves through the body without structural integrity, you get torque leaking out. Puts stress, wear and tear on the joint. This "leakage" compounded over time causes permanent damage to joints, ligaments, etc. Focus of treatment is to relieve this stress, or leakage, and create high quality movement to create structural integrity and prevent recurrence of the problem. - Dr. Cook's approach to stem cells, and why...28:10 Assess the patient, then tailor an appropriate treatment for the specific problem. Joints, spine, IV treatments Terms to know re: stem cells: Totipotent: capable of giving rise to any cell type or (of a blastomere) a complete embryo. Pluripotent: capable of giving rise to several different cell types. Multipotent: develop into more than one cell type, but are more limited than pluripotent cells. Autologous: obtained from the same individual Mesenchymal: An adult "professional" stem cell from a variety of ways. . Whether adult stem cells can retain their healing properties without repairing tissue. No concrete answer yet. Differing approaches, regulatory apparatus is affecting the ability to answer V Cells (very small embryonic stem cells) Autologous Using umbilical cord blood and Wharton's jelly. You can donate placenta and umbilical cord blood. Wharton's jelly is the tissue that comes off the wall of the umbilical cord. Wharton's jelly, UC blood and amniotic fluid is blended together to make "matrix" of the placenta. Anti-infectious, anti-inflammatory "Nature gives us a lot of clues..." Not that many stem cells in the UC blood. PRP (platelet rich plasma) PRP lysate -Why exosomes may be the most important treatment in the future...55:25 Take stem cells and take to a lab, grow them in tissue culture; immortal cell line. Put stem cells on a ketogenic diet. Why do people still need to go overseas for treatment? "More than Minimum Manipulation": a term created by the regulatory apparatus on stem cell therapy. Must be done in Mexico; can't make there and bring across the border. Culture expanded Stem Cell Culture expanded Natural Killer Cell Therapy - Dr. Cook's unique approach to treating depression and managing pain...1:05:15 Ketamine therapy Turns off a pathway in the brain; turns on receptors (think turning off and on your computer) Makes people feel emotionally safe; gives hope. Your mind leaves "bread crumbs" of this feeling of hope; you remember it the next day, and the next... Creates a parasympathetic state -And MUCH more...

You've no doubt heard of it by now... In an attempt to live longer, some anti-aging enthusiasts are getting themselves injected with the blood of young humans, via a process deemed: plasmaphoresis. This podcast is about several age reversal therapies. It's also about biohacking Alzheimers. It's about all these therapies (senolytics, exosomes, gdf-11, etc) that scientists have been talking about for age reversal. The podcast is about biological aging clocks and biomarkers to measure them. You'll learn about ways that you can biohack Alzheimer's disease, how to measure your biological age, how to reverse aging, what the biggest obstacle to age reversal is, how to get more involved in the anti-aging community and more. About the Guests Mark Urdahl, is a technology entrepreneur from the Silicon Valley. He has numerous patents and has worked in big data. He began his career at IBM's medical instruments subsidiary that pioneered plasmaphoresis. Mark founded to advance new uses for well established therapeutic plasma exchange therapies which have recently evidenced a previously undocumented potential to rejuvenate the body's own stem cells, restore aging immune systems, and prevent the onset of many age-related disease condition, so that we might live healthy as we age and ultimately live longer lives. Tom Ingloglia first appeared on this podcast in the episode "" As you learn in that episode, Tom is a private investor with a master’s degree in finance. In the midst of trading, investing in technology and developing real estate in Costa Rica, Tom became very sick. He was initially prescribed antibiotics, suffered from an adverse reaction and was told that he’d have stomach problems for the rest of his life. In the years that followed, Tom also developed severe food allergies. His symptoms worsened, and he next began dealing with insomnia, anxiety, muscle pain, tendinopathies, joint pain, chronic fatigue syndrome, altered and clouded cognition and headaches. He finally had a mental breakdown in 2008. After a prolonged period of taking antibiotics, Tom began experiencing tendonitis throughout his fingers, hands, wrists and ankles and feet, so he started taking pain medications to relieve this pain. He had to give up his career in trading because his sole focus for the next eight years would be on finding a cure to his growing symptoms. His life consisted of working with physical therapists, going to the gym, going to new doctors, and trying new foods to see if it would help. Throughout Tom’s eight-year battle, he was prescribed consistently and persistently more medication. For six years, he was taking excessive amounts of Hydrocodone and Tramadol every day. Tom became obsessed with researching symptoms and treatments, and learned about the NAD+ treatment. He visited a clinic, and on Day 7 of his treatment, “It hit me. I started feeling better. I felt amazing. There was a calm that came over me. I felt safe. I just had no cravings for drugs or pain meds. There was no need for them. I just didn’t have the excruciating pain that I had before. I felt eight years of pain melting away.” Tom has nearly fully recovered, using related treatments to NAD+, and has engaged two cofounders to assist him in building out a facility to help bring this treatment to others in similar situations. In my conversation with Mark and Tom, you'll discover: -The history of and how "heterochronic plasma exchange" works...16:00 Heterochronic plasma means simply removing old plasma and replacing it with "young" plasma. Others are experimenting with this concept. What Mark does is different from a plasma "infusion." Plasma is approximately half of our blood volume. Mark began with IBM Biomedical Systems, who had invented what we now call the "blood cell processor." -The intricate means of testing used on mice...22:15 Basically creating "siamese twins" with mice by stitching them together. Similar procedures have been conducted on humans for over 50 years. Mark wanted to recruit the best medical professionals to the Young Blood Institute. Many of them have been doing it for 30-40 years. -What, if any, are the risks of these plasma exchanges...29:10 Roughly a 4% risk of a transfusion reaction, which is akin to what you might experience donating blood. One of the safer procedures in the medical field today. You go through 6 exchanges as part of a protocol. -The network of doctors that Mark and Tom have built to do a plasma exchange...32:42 There are medical professionals all over the U.S. that can do the procedure. Submit an inquiry on the website to find a doctor that is near you. -What anti-aging biomarkers Mark is tracking at the Young Blood Institute...34:51 They have more technology testing capability than Stanford, Johns Hopkins and Harvard combined. Key technology: time of flight mass cytometry. Single cell proteionomics. They are trying to develop early detection biomarkers that enables them to prevent the onset of diseases before they become significant. -The lowest hanging fruit for people to track...46:15 The YBI's concern is the function of the body, rather than the age. Your cells are not aware of your "age". -What a biological aging clock is...50:20 Zymo is a lab that has worked with Steven Horvath. Looked at DNA, and seen a pattern from methyl groups attached to certain parts of the genome. -How can we track biological aging, or slow down our biological aging clock?...52:30 Inflammatory markers, heart age, brain age, lung age, skin elasticity. -The anti-aging booth that Mark and Tom will be operating at a conference called RAAD Fest...54:45 Want to have a contest where people calculate their age, and track their progress. Mark and Tom have one of the largest booths at the conference. -Whether NAD actually gets absorbed into a cell via injections or IV...1:00:30 How does Ben feel with an injection? Answer: Incredible. Tom doesn't recommend the injection due to the level of discomfort. -Why compounded formulas such as glutathione and Vitamin B could be taken off the market soon...1:07:30 There's a review similar to a court hearing, where people argue for and against glutathione. Taken off the market for compounding pharmacies. Tom "has his own reasons" for why this could be deemed unsafe. Core problem: the vitamins don't have any intellectual property. Could affect the costs of healthcare. -How to use technologies such as Vielight and exosomes to address Alzheimer's...1:14:30 Alzheimers is a $500 billion industry; the 6th leading cause of death. A Vielight is basically a laser light for your nose and head; photobiomodulation on your skull. -What GDF11 mRNA is and how it works to improve hearing, smell and sight...1:25:30 GDF11 is a DNA repair molecule; makes stem cells active again. Patients see improvements in sex drive, vision, smell, hearing, etc. Legal hurdles to being able to administer it. "Unofficial" results are very positive. -How senolytics works as a therapy for aging and Alzheimer's, and the importance of quercetin and tocotrienols...1:33:45 Describes small molecules that lead to the death of "zombie" cells that don't help the rest of your body.

I have several friends who I would consider to be VIP's, bigwigs, and leading authorities in the field of health and biohacking. Although I will respectfully keep those friends anonymous, I've noted that a relatively large majority of them have one specific man who serves as their personal physician, and he's the same guy who advises some of the world's top military personnel, Spartans, strongmen competitors and obstacle racers. That man is Dr. Anthony Beck, and he's my guest on today's podcast. As a physician who has practiced Functional Medicine for over 20 years and backed by 10’s of thousands of patient encounters, Dr. Anthony G. Beck doesn’t merely manage diseases ~ he helps people resolve them. Dr. Beck has earned 4 national medical board certifications, is the founder and chief medical officer for Balance Protocol Institute, is the founder and CEO of Helion Nutraceuticals and provides philanthropic care for combat veterans through groups such as Warrior Angles Foundation, Millennium TBI Network and Task Force Dagger Foundation. With extensive education in many clinical disciplines such as Functional Medicine, clinical nutrition, systems biology, epigenetics and nutrigenomics, he takes a dynamic approach to assessing, educating, and working with his patients to achieve their highest levels of wellbeing. Dr. Beck’s programs involve a full array of aspects including optimizing ones environment of (air, water, light, sound, EMF), healthful lifestyle design, individualized nutrition, hormone balancing, resolving immune dysfunction, identifying hidden infectious diseases, as well as leveraging extensive laboratory and functional testing to assist patients to determine their biochemical individuality. Even more importantly, Dr. Beck wants to empower patients to demand a higher level of care from their health care providers. So not only is Dr. Beck a wealth of knowledge on advanced health tactics, medical testing, and the combination of biohacking and exercise performance, but he's also the mastermind behind a hydration tactic I've personally been experimenting with: a tiny hydration invention called Oral I.V. - which we explore in great detail in the episode "The Physician Who Personally Advises The World's Leading Health Authorities, And His Tiny Invention That Pro Athletes Swear By." Lately, Dr. Beck has been quite pesky and informative on my own Facebook page - on topics about everything from mushrooms to methylation - so I figured I'd invite him on the show to take a deep dive into some of these controversial topics he has a unique perspective on, including: Psychedelics Lectins Energy Medicine Devices Dietary waters vs pH effect on body EMF devices for health and their consequences During our discussion, you'll discover: -Anthony's fascinating morning routine that includes near infrared, far infrared and photobiomodulation... [00:11:10] -Why Anthony only takes certain supplements during certain seasons, and how he determines that... [00:22:29] -Why Anthony has his Spartan athletes eat differently at different latitudes and why you can eat more fruits and raw vegetables in the spring and summer... [00:30:53] -Why you don't really need to worry about the pH of the water that you drink, and whether carbonated water will really damage your teeth... [00:38:43] -Why Dr. Beck believes the whole Plant Paradox "lectins are bad for you" argument is a bad hypothesis... [00:50:01] -Dr. Beck's favorite self-quantification tests and why... [00:51:19] -The reason Dr. Beck doesn't use cannabidiol based on the RS1135840 and RS1065852... [00:58:00] -All the damage that Dr. Beck has seen 'shrooms do and the damage they can cause... [01:02:32] -How Dr. Beck personally mitigates the effects of EMF, and why he isn't a fan of "EMF" blockers... [01:14:00] -And much more! Resource from this episode: -Oral I.V.

Dr Marvin Berman recieved his PhD in Psychoeducational Processes. He is trained in Bioenergetic Analysis and is trained in numerous other therapeutic interventions including EEG biofeedback and the Feldenkrais methodologies. He consults with senior executives and management teams on the application of cognitive neuroscience in leadership development and performance. Recently, he is exploring the application of EEG biofeedback and related technologies into the treatment of neuropsychological and neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's. In Alzheimer's disease the brain shrinks over time. Certain forms of light energy may help defeat this problem. Near infrared wavelengths are particularly good because not only do they travel deeper into tissues; they are not lost by being absorbed by blood and water before they reach the brain. On this show we talk about two different and distinct technologies on this episode. One is Photobiomodulation the other is Neurofeedback. Neurofeedback we have talked about with Drs Majid Fotuhi (episode 3) and Dr David Merrill (episode 9). Photobiomodulation (PBM) introduces certain frequencies of light. The light has an impact on the brain's mitochondria. Institutions like Harvard, Standford and MIT all have and continue to explore Photobiomodulation. There are LED lights that are placed on head or shined into the nose and they seem to do a several beneficial things. To be clear, the signaling within the (brain) tissue takes place as a result of exposure to light (photonic) energy. The Key players in the PBM story are 1) Cytochrome C oxidase (substance that absorbs light) 2) ATP (energy and healing) 3) Reactive Oxygen Species - mild oxidant that signals cellular repair 4) Nitric Oxide (increases blood flow) Mitochondria have a substance called the cytochrome oxidase that can absorb red and near infrared light and convert the enregy into a form of bilogical energy called ATP. Part of what ATP does is lead to healing and tissue repair. The process - among other things- generates a mild level oxidant (ROS) which acts as a signaling molecule to activate transcription factors that lead to tissue repair. Some people see this as a "redox" signaling molecule. Herein is where the physical healing can be accelerated when photonic therapies (red and near infrared light) is introduces. Another important player is Nitric oxide (NO) - if it sits in the cell it "clogs" the respiratory chain that leads to ATP production. PBM frees the NO back into the body and restors the function fo the respiratory chain. Then it takes on an impotant wide ranging role of improving nerve function and improving circulation by relaxing the blood vessel walls. Dr Berman explains how he connected Neurofeedback and PBM in the development of a comprehensive treatment model. He explains the use of light frequency of 1060-1080nm. For those not involved in research is there any risk or benefit in doing Neurofeedback with a particular doctor and trying out a Vielight (one PBM device) on their own. contact Dr Berman directly.

Neurons are cells that contain mitochondria. Photobiomodulation energizes neuronal mitochondria, triggering a cascade of beneficial cellular functions. Potential benefits are neuroprotective effects, self-repair mechanisms and enhanced function. Vielight’s patented intranasal stimulation technology and microchip LED technology is an innovative tool for brain photobiomodulation invented by Dr. Lew Lim, my guest on Parkinsons Recovery Radio today. Intranasal photobiomodulation is the most efficient method for light energy to reach the brain. Different from electrical and magnetic stimulation, photobiomodulation uses light energy (or photons) of specific wave lengths and power density to simulate cellular function. A 2015 study using subjects with dementia found there was significant improvement after 12 weeks of use involving increased function, better sleep, fewer angry outbursts and less anxiety. These encouraging results have been followed by a series of ongoing studies. The company, Vielight, has generously offered followers of Parkinsons Recovery a 10% discount off orders of the Vielight Neuro Gamma which retails for $1749. After 6 months of use, users can return product for an 80% refund. Enter the coupon code healing4me on the shopping cart to claim the 10% discount at www.vielight.com As of the end of May 2018, 61 Neuro Gamma devices were purchased by listeners in October 2017 who claimed the 10% discount with coupon code healing4me. Only 5 units have been returned. This evidence suggests effectiveness of thie device to be good for approximatey 9 out of 10 users. Robert Rodgers PhD Road to Recovery from Parkinsons Disease

Several weeks ago, in the article, , I told you about an in-ear light phototherapy device called "", which I've been experimenting with for everything from jet lag to a burst of pre-workout wakefulness. Then, in the article, , I taught you how to use something called chromotherapy to change your mood, deal with insomnia, or even treat a variety of health issues. Finally, several days ago (probably because it appears I've lately been obsessed with light biohacks) one of my friends mentioned the word "photomedicine" to me. This word photomedicine was a new term in my vernacular, but when I looked into it, I found that intranasal light therapy, which is literally light stimulation of blood capillaries in the nasal cavity, has been used for the past couple decades as a very non-invasive method to introduce therapeutic light energy into the human body, and there's actually a surprising amount of research on this form of nonionizing radiation on biological systems, including effects on cognitive performance, fighting free radicals, combatting Alzheimer's symptoms and more. So for today's podcast, I hunted down an expert in photomedicine, also known as photobiomodulation (PBM), or low level light therapy. His name is Dr. Lew Lim, and Dr. Lim is the co-inventor of a wearable, intranasal light therapy device designed for home-use called the "Vielight". Dr. Lim is a Doctor of Naturopathy, has a Graduate Engineering Diploma, a MBA, and is a Chartered Accountant. He is also certified in Medical Neuroscience, Neurobiology and Human Physiology. He has obtained qualifications from University of California at Berkeley, Duke University, University of Chicago and University of Sheffield, UK and collaborates with Harvard Medical School and Boston University in research relating to the field of photobiomodulation. During our discussion, you'll discover: -Why any athlete should pay close attention to the emerging field of photomedicine, particularly low level light therapy... -Why the FDA has approved infrared therapy for everything from eliminating microbes and fungus in the human body to killing cancer cells... -What happens to your cells (and specifically to your nitric oxide production) when your cells get exposed to low level light therapy... -How to use intranasal light therapy as a way to "charge up your brain" prior to mentally demanding tasks... -A biohack that combines red light therapy and infrared light therapy... -Exactly when, how and how long to use low level light therapy and intranasal light therapy for everything from brain stimulation to sleep... -And much more!
