Welcome

Phil Micans welcomes everyone to the Profound Health Summit.

TITLE TBA

Dr. Bill Cham will describe his incredible discovery of a natural plant extract on his native island of Vanuatu. It has been clinically proven to reverse skin cancers when applied as a cream and has to date been used on tens of thousands of people, yet despite it being published in numerous medical journals remains relatively unknown.

Reversing the Aging Face & Body and Protecting Them Against Free Radicals and Reactive Oxygens

Dr. Richard Lippman, an expert on free radicals. Free radicals and ROS are the strongest toxins on the planet. They are generated externally by radiation or internally by mitochondrial oxygen metabolism. As we age, our bodies naturally defend against these toxins with four cellular lines of defence. When these lines of defence fail, we develop problems related to aging such as edema, atherosclerosis, breathing difficulties, and slowed thinking.

First, we can boost our lines of defence with nutrients such as BHT, NDGA, N-acetyl carnosine, N-acetyl cysteine, l-glutathione, HGH, IGF-1, and ACF228. Second, we can naturally mitigate consequent inflammation caused by free radicals by treatment with ACF228.

11.00 – 11.30

TEA BREAK

11.30 – 12.00

Brain inflammation: quench the fire and regenerate

Meleni Aldridge will be showing the deleterious effects of brain inflammation and how it can be successfully dealt with.

It’s well known that unresolved low-grade inflammation creates the foundation for dysfunction to proliferate in the body, ultimately leading to the development of chronic disease. However, the brain also becomes inflamed, diminishing capacity, eroding resilience and hastening the onset of neurodegenerative disorders and diseases.

Brain fog, brain fatigue, disordered thinking, poor short-term memory, multiple ‘senior moments’ in a day, difficulty in decision making, confusion without a cause and persistent low mood, are not normal brain states – no matter how normalised they have become. Join Meleni as she characterises the terrain of the inflamed brain and outlines practical strategies to safeguard this most important asset.

12.00 – 12.30

Micronutrients that save lives: looking beyond essentiality

Dr. Rob Verkerk has the task of trying to elaborate on which diets and nutrition could assist older people to live a life full of energy.

Nutritional science categorises micronutrients into three main groups: essential, conditionally-(or semi-) essential and non-essential. A substance is considered essential when it must be obtained from the diet to maintain base functions because the body either does not synthesize it at all or it does but not in sufficient amounts to meet base requirements that prevent classical vitamin or mineral deficiency diseases (e.g., scurvy, pellagra, rickets, goiter, beriberi). Reflecting the implied relative importance of these categories is the emphasis placed on each in terms of research, education and clinical practice. Nutrition surveys repeatedly show in Western societies that it is not deficiencies below reference intakes of essential nutrients, but rather insufficiencies or imbalances in all nutrient groups, especially conditionally- and non-essential micronutrients, that contribute to degenerative or chronic conditions, many of them seriously limiting both the quantity or quality of life.

Dr Verkerk will explain how this disproportionate classification has impacted health care and perceptions of the value of nutrition. He will also provide evidence of the ‘essentiality’ of a wide range of so-called conditionally- and non-essential micronutrients for enhanced healthspan, lifespan and whole system performance.  

12.30 – 13.00

Maximising Healthspan with NAD+. Brain & Cellular Optimisation.

Dr. Elena Seranova’s lecture looks at the various health benefits of heightened NAD levels and the best methods today of achieving healthier levels.

Our cells have an essential energy engine called the Krebs cycle, which relies on a powerful co-enzyme called NAD+ to produce energy (ATP). As we age, NAD+ levels decline, impacting our cellular health and crucial processes like autophagy. Autophagy is vital for maintaining optimised healthspan and cognitive function. This talk delves into the interplay of of NAD+ and autophagy in our health. We’ll focus on how they affect brain function and explore their role in neurodegeneration and overall aging process, while mentioning how we can maximise our healthspan, aka the number of years we spend in good health.

13.00 – 14.00

TITLE TBA

Hormesis and hormetins as drugs for health and longevity.

Suresh Rattan, Ph.D., D.Sc. discusses Mild stress-induced hormesis by hormetins is a promising and successful approach as drugs for maintaining, recovering, and enhancing health and longevity. Physical, nutritional, and mental hormetins initiate single or multiple cellular stress responses resulting in the strengthening of the homeodynamic space of an individual. The main stress responses through which hormetins and hormesis work are autophagy, anti-oxidation, DNA repair, chaperones, sirtuins and inflammation. Discovering and developing novel hormetins involves elucidating and establishing immediate and delayed stress response profiles of cells, followed by cell type-specific functional assays to demonstrate their health-promoting effects.

10.00 – 10.30

The interesting sTORy of Rapamycin.

Marios Kyriazis, M.D. DSc Rapamycin is a drug with immunosuppressive and anti-cancer properties. Derived from a bacterium found on Easter Island, it inhibits the mTOR pathway, which regulates cell growth and proliferation. Initially used in organ transplantation to prevent rejection, it has shown promise in extending lifespan and treating various age-related diseases in preclinical studies, though its long-term effects in humans are still being researched. Rapamycin’s potential to delay aging and combat age-related ailments has generated significant interest in the field of anti-aging research, making it a subject of ongoing scientific investigation and debate.

10.30 – 11.00

Genes are not destiny: new options for APOE-ε4

Dr. Brian Delaney singles out the APOe gene, one that is more common than one may suspect, its impact on brain health and how gene therapies can make corrections.

The APOE-ε4 allele is a significant genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease and other age-associated neurodegenerative diseases, as well as for heart disease and stroke. I will explain why apolipoprotein Ε4 increases disease risk, and then outline new, innovative types of gene therapy that can mitigate or even eliminate the risk that this allele confers.

Also learn about the current limitations of epigenetic clocks, along with how to find an accurate and comprehensive epigenetic test to discover your Biological Age. Lastly, Went will be focusing on TruDiagnostic’s new algorithm, OMICmAge and why it’s the best biological age clock created to date.

13.00 – 13.30

Abdominal obesity: More than a cosmetic concern, it’s a sign of a complex insulin resistance syndrome requiring functional medicine assessment and reversal.

Sly Nedic, M.D., IFMCP Abdominal obesity, coupled with insulin resistance, poses a significant global health challenge, often underestimated as a mere cosmetic issue. The increasing incidence of type 2 diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease highlights the urgency to address this epidemic due to its implications for morbidity and mortality. Current aesthetic procedures targeting subcutaneous fat fail to address the underlying problems associated with visceral fat, necessitating a paradigm shift in treatment approaches. Liposuction, a popular aesthetic intervention for abdominal fat reduction, proves ineffective in altering critical markers of visceral fat and insulin resistance. Inflammatory markers, plasma concentrations of CRP, IL-6, TNF-α, adiponectin, as well as insulin sensitivity in muscles, liver, and adipose tissues, remain largely unaffected post-liposuction, thereby leaving other risk factors for coronary heart disease unaddressed. To effectively combat the rising prevalence of abdominal obesity and its related complications, a comprehensive understanding of its pathophysiology is essential. Treating abdominal obesity as a complex insulin resistance syndrome requires a nuanced assessment and personalized treatment strategies, encompassing both cosmetic and functional considerations.
