INSIGHT

Metabolic Autophagy

  • Metabolism encompasses energy production, growth, and repair.
  • Autophagy is central to metabolic processes, impacting lifespan and various health aspects.
INSIGHT

Intermittent Fasting and Evolution

  • Intermittent fasting aligns with human evolution, as hunter-gatherers often went without food.
  • Caloric restriction and intermittent fasting activate longevity pathways, including autophagy, promoting lifespan extension.
ADVICE

Cycling Metabolic States

  • Cycle between catabolic and anabolic states for optimal metabolic function.
  • Fasting promotes catabolism (AMPK activation, mTOR suppression), while eating promotes anabolism (mTOR activation, AMPK suppression).
