  • Professor Julia Rucklidge: Micronutrients, Mental Health and Why the RDAs Are Broken

    Professor Julia Rucklidge: Micronutrients, Mental Health and Why the RDAs Are Broken
    Jun 12 2026
    The link between micronutrients and mental health is one of the most overlooked stories in modern medicine, and Professor Julia Rucklidge has spent more than two decades proving it matters. In this episode of Pushing the Limits, she shares the research on micronutrients and mental health that has challenged psychiatry's drug-first model, showing that broad-spectrum vitamins and minerals can treat ADHD, depression and anxiety, often as effectively as medication and without the side effects. If you have ever wondered how deeply micronutrients and mental health are connected, this conversation will change how you think about your brain, your mood and the food you eat every day. Professor Julia Rucklidge is a clinical psychologist at the University of Canterbury and Director of Te Puna Toiora, the Mental Health and Nutrition Research Lab. She is co-author, with Bonnie Kaplan, of The Better Brain, and her work has been published in leading psychiatry journals and viewed by millions through her TEDx talk. She came into this field as a sceptic, trained to believe that nutrition was irrelevant to the brain, and changed her mind only when the evidence became impossible to ignore. In this conversation, Julia explains what her clinical trials actually found, and why 60 to 80 percent of people respond to a broad-spectrum approach once you move past the noise of a blinded study. We talk about why feeding the whole system beats chasing a single nutrient, what the biomarkers reveal about inflammation, methylation and the microbiome, and why the RDAs were never designed to support an optimally functioning brain. She makes the case that the recommended daily allowances we rely on were built to prevent deficiency diseases, not to help the brain thrive, and that this gap matters enormously for anyone struggling with their mental health. We also explore the bigger forces at play: depleted soils and what modern agriculture has done to the nutrient density of our food, the rise of ultra-processed food and why Julia calls it the cigarette of the twenty-first century, and the antidepressant withdrawal that so many people are never warned about. She shares her frustration with New Zealand's outdated supplement regulations, where a product can be effectively banned for containing a fraction too much of a nutrient, and a distributor can be threatened with serious penalties for selling something that genuinely works. Most of all, this is a hopeful conversation. It is about taking back control of your health through the food on your plate, understanding the real connection between what you eat and how you feel, and recognising that small, consistent changes can have a profound effect on the brain. Whether you are a parent navigating a child's behaviour, someone managing your own mental health, or simply curious about the science of nutrition and the brain, this episode will give you a new lens on what is possible. If you have ever been told that nutrition is irrelevant to your brain, this episode is for you.

One of the world's leading researchers in nutritional psychiatry, she has spent more than two decades running placebo-controlled trials showing that broad-spectrum micronutrients can treat ADHD, depression, anxiety and stress, often as effectively as medication and without the side effects. She is co-author, with Bonnie Kaplan, of The Better Brain, and her TEDx talk on nutrition and mental health has been viewed millions of times. Based in Christchurch, New Zealand, she is on a mission to put nutrition where she argues it belongs: as a serious, evidence-based part of how we treat and prevent mental illness.

  • R3HBG: The Bioidentical Ketone That Bypasses the Liver | Mike Chesne, Tecton Founder

    R3HBG: The Bioidentical Ketone That Bypasses the Liver | Mike Chesne, Tecton Founder
    May 30 2026
    What if there was an exogenous ketone that didn't go through the liver, didn't cause the GI distress of other ketones, and delivered bioidentical BHB directly to your cells? In this episode, Lisa sits down with Mike Chesne, founder of Tecton and retired US Army Special Forces combat medic, who spent 25 years in special operations before developing R3HBG — a patented ketone molecule that's categorically different from everything else on the market. Mike's journey from battlefield medicine to biotech is extraordinary. After suffering multiple traumatic brain injuries from IED blasts during nearly three years of combat, he went through brain injury rehabilitation and discovered the neuroprotective potential of ketones. He asked one question that changed everything: "If I had been in ketosis when I got blown up, how much better would my outcome have been?" That question led him to Oxford University, to Dr Kieran Clarke's lab, and eventually to designing his own molecule — drawing it on a napkin and spending over a decade turning it into a manufactured, FDA-reviewed product. In this deep-dive episode we cover: Mike's military career and the brain injuries that changed his pathThe DARPA project that spent $10 million searching for a supplement to boost performance and cognition by 30%Why the brain in Alzheimer's and TBI can't access glucose but can still take up ketones R3HBG explained: how lipase (not alcohol dehydrogenase) breaks it down, and why that mattersThe differences between BHB salts, R-1,3-butanediol, the original ketone ester, and R3HBGThe NLRP3 inflammasome and how BHB blocks the inflammatory cascade driving neurodegenerationHDAC inhibition and how BHB switches on your body's own antioxidant and longevity genesNDI #1354 and what FDA New Dietary Ingredient acceptance meansThe GLP-1 agonist connection for weight management and metabolic health Therapeutic dosing for cognition, endurance, and recovery Mike's vision to license R3HBG to every ketone company willing to use it Lisa's experience using ketones with her mother's brain injury and cancer recovery This is the most comprehensive ketone science episode we've ever produced.

  • INUSpheresis: Removing Toxins, Heavy Metals & Microplastics From Blood/ Tash Simons

    INUSpheresis: Removing Toxins, Heavy Metals & Microplastics From Blood/ Tash Simons
    May 20 2026
    What if the reason you're not getting better isn't about what you're putting in — but what you can't get out? In this episode I sit down with Tash Simons from INUSpheresis Perth — the first clinic in Australia and the Southern Hemisphere to offer this advanced blood filtration therapy. We go deep into how double filtration plasmapheresis works, the two specialised filters (TKM58 and INUS 30), and the science behind removing autoantibodies, inflammatory cytokines, heavy metals, microplastics, PCBs, and oxidised LDL directly from your blood — without involving your kidneys or liver. We cover the clinical research across long COVID, ME/CFS, autoimmune conditions, Lyme disease, Alzheimer's, and cardiovascular risk including Lp(a) — one of the hardest lipid markers to shift. Tash shares the personal story of how a family member's chronic fatigue led her and Dr Robbie Simons to discover this therapy in Vienna, and the journey to bring it to Perth — from TGA registration and insurance approvals to Swiss certification and over 100 treatments completed. If you're dealing with a chronic condition that won't budge, carrying a toxic load, or thinking about longevity from a subtractive medicine perspective — this one's for you.
