#73 Balancing Autophagy and mTOR - Biohacker Summit Tallinn 2018
Life consists of anabolic and catabolic processes that are governed through many fuel sensors inside your body. The main pathways that direct anabolism and catabolism are mTOR, autophagy, and AMPK.
This is my speech about balancing anabolism and catabolism with mTOR and autophagy at the Biohacker Summit Tallinn 2018.

#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.

#70 Invincible Immunity with Teemu Arina
Did you know that "boosting your immune system" may actually make you more vulnerable to getting sick?
Taking a lot of antioxidants and drinking your superfood green smoothie isn't always the best thing for general health and immunity.
The key to not getting sick and living longer is to have a robust immune system that's able to cope with environmental stressors without suffering from some sort of sickness
Welcome to the Body Mind Empowerment Podcast. I'm your host Siim Land and our returning guest is Teemu Arina who's the creator of The Biohacker Summit and Biohacking Center. He's co-authored the book Biohacker's Handbook and he's involved with biohacking, entrepreneurship, and future technologies.

#69 Treating Epilepsy With the Ketogenic Diet - Michel Lundell from Ketonix
Did you know that the ketogenic diet was originally used to treat epilepsy in children?
Being in ketosis provides an alternate fuel source to the brain in the form of ketones, which help the person maintain stable energy and experience fewer seizures.
Epileptic patients who've gone keto have actually managed to cure themselves of the disease completely after being on the diet for a while. What's more, they can then return to a different way of eating without getting remissions. That's quite crazy and magnificent!
Welcome to the Body Mind Empowerment Podcast I’m your host Siim Land and today our guest is Michel Lundell.
Michel is the founder and CEO of Ketonix, which is the leading ketone breath analyzing device in the world. He’s treating his own epilepsy with the ketogenic diet and is innovating the science of ketosis by helping people understand this mysterious metabolic state a lot better.

#64 Dr Ted Achacoso on Health Optimization Medicine and Evolutionary Medicine
When it comes to health, are you more motivated by the fear of getting sick or by the benefit of being vigorous and health?
That's the difference between health optimization medicine and disease treatment medicine.
The traditional medicine focuses solely on how to treat the sicknesses people have already got instead of thinking about how they could be prevented in the first place. They also try to fix the symptoms not the root causes of disease.
Welcome to the Body Mind Empowerment Podcast. I'm your host Siim Land and our guest today is Doctor Ted Achacoso. Doctor Ted is a health optimization doctor who experts in clinical metabolomics, chronobiology, epigenetics, neurointerventional radiology and so much more. He’s also European Double-Board Certified in Nutritional Medicine and Anti-Aging Medicine which makes him one of the smartest people in health optimization and evolutionary medicine.
