Protein and Longevity
The discussion delves into the complex relationship between protein consumption and the mTOR pathway, emphasizing its critical role in muscle health. Gabrielle explains that while mTOR is essential for muscle growth, concerns about excessive stimulation from dietary protein are misplaced. Instead, she highlights the importance of timing meals and balancing protein intake with exercise to support overall longevity and repair processes.In this clip

I'm concerned about the role of mTOR and IGF-1 in tumor growth as discussed in episode 313: What science still gets wrong about longevity | Robb Wolf, biochemist & New York Times bestselling author, and the clip Fasting and mTOR. Is there a balance that can be achieved between activating these pathways for muscle growth and strength training, and downregulating them through fasting? For example, could a cycle of 1 month of muscle-building weight training followed by a week of fasting help strike that balance? What might an optimal approach look like?
