Muscle Mass Matters

Muscle mass plays a crucial role in reducing risks associated with cardiac issues and diabetes. Regular lab testing and strategic fasting can help manage health markers, especially for those with higher protein needs, such as pregnant women and growing children. It's essential to consult a physician when considering supplementation, particularly in unique life stages or conditions.

AMA#2: Acid/base balance, APOE4/FTO, omega-3s, carnivore diet types, the problem with broccoli and more! and the clip Ketosis, mTOR, IGF-1. 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?
