In this episode the incredible Dr Thomas Levy, Board Certified Cardiologist and Attorney, author of 13 books including:
Curing the Incurable - the Vitamin C story and it's therapeutic effects
The Hidden Epidemic - the story around dental infections, root canals and their affect on cardiovascular disease and breast cancer and beyond.
Death by Calcium - the truth about calcium and why supplementing with calcium is a bad idea.
Rapid Virus Recovery - all about dealing with viruses successfully
Magnesium: Reversing Disease
Dr Thomas has been on this show twice so make sure you also listen in to those episodes Curing the Incurable all about IV and oral Vitamin C (this one has had over 150,000 views/listens.
In this episode we dive into Dr Thomas's latest learnings and his top 8 (affordable) supplements and why he thinks most people would benefit from these and how they work in the body.
We dive into his research on Methylene Blue and its ability to help those with mitochondrial dysfunction and energy problems.
We also get into why 100% of root canals are infected and the terrible effect that can have on your risks for developing heart disease and also breast cancer.
We dive again into the benefits and many faceted roles that vitamin C plays in the body as not only a powerful antioxidant but how it has the ability to get everywhere in the body and why that makes it much more powerful than many other antioxidants and we discuss it's roles in everything from cancer to covid to sepsis to cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis.
We also discuss his indepth research into why calcium is so detrimental when it is higher in the body than it should be and why just a small increase of calcium in the soft tissues outside of bone and teeth has such deleterious effects and why magnesium is so beneficial and how it counteracts calciums deleterious effects in the body.
We also look into iron and how it promotes cancer and why it can be elevated in people suffering with viruses and pathogens that are chronic. We also discuss copper toxicity and why so many have too much free copper which can be as toxic as mercury.
Antimony is another topic we get into and why it's so high in the population.
Lastly we dive into osteoporosis why it's actually focal scurvy and a lack of vitamin C.
This episode is a masterclass in health optimisation that you will want to repeat over and over again.

I am getting my mojo back with regards to my health and running after treatment for breast cancer, I connected with Lisa as I was looking for positive influences from people who are long distance runners and understand our mindset. Lisa’s podcasts have been a key factor in getting me out of a negative space where I allowed others limiting beliefs to stop me from following my heart and what I believe is right for me. After 18 months of being in cancer recovery mode I wanted to get out of the cancer mindset and back to achieving goals that had been put aside. Listening to Pushing The Limits has put me onto other great podcasts, and in the process I have learnt so much and am on a pathway to a much better place with my mindset and health. Thanks so much Lisa for doing what you do and always being you.
