East Meets West in a Comprehensive Brain Health Strategy - Episode 190
Gladden Longevity Podcast -- formerly Living Beyond 120
The Effects of Methionine Restrictions on Longevity
Methionine is an amino acid that can be restricted in a number of ways. Restricting methionine levels shifts the physiology in a very positive manner, much like fasting. So you get an increase in tophagy and all of these cell repair processes. It's still early days, but it seems to have some implications for longevity.
