Episode #238. Left with questions after last week’s conversation with Dr Valter Longo? You’re not alone. In this episode, Dr Longo returns to answer some of the queries I had in the wake of our last episode, tying off some loose ends and clarifying his stance on protein consumption and longevity.

Specifically, we discuss:

Intro (0:00)
Reduce Cancer Risk with IGF1 (1:47)
Biological Age Test (4:11)
Laron Syndrome & Longevity (6:24)
Does Everyone with High IGF1 get cancer? (13:06)
Pressure for Longevity (20:30)
Does Exercise Reduce Risk? (22:15)
Average IGF1 (26:19)
Conclusion (31:03)

Make sure to listen to the last episode of The Proof, where Dr Valter Longo and I examine protein consumption in detail. To connect with Dr Valter Longo, you can find him on Instagram and Facebook. Learn more about Dr Longo’s research on his website, https://www.valterlongo.com/, where you will also be able to view and purchase his book, The Longevity Diet. Dr Longo first appeared on The Proof in Episode #106, which you can listen to here.
