#72 IGF-1, mTOR, Autophagy Deep Dive

You must've heard that eating protein, meat, and dairy gives you heart disease and gives you cancer.  Does elevating IGF-1 and mTOR accelerate aging or do low levels of IGF-1 actually make you more prone to neurodegeneration and shorter life?  Is it better to bulk up fast with carbs or do it slowly on keto? Does bulletproof coffee stop autophagy? How many carbs to eat on the targeted ketogenic diet? These are some of the few questions of this Body Mind Empowerment podcast. I’m your host Siim Land and we’re gonna have another Q & A episode. This time I decided to focus primarily on these anabolic pathways like mTOR or mammalian target of rapamycin and how it affects your longevity. mTOR and IGF-1 make you anabolic and grow but for longevity, you want to know how to balance it with things like autophagy and AMPK. So, most of the questions will be about these topics. Let’s get to it.
