Alkalinity and Muscle Growth
Catharine highlights the importance of maintaining an alkaline environment for cellular health, emphasizing that cancer cells struggle to thrive in such conditions. While David agrees on the benefits of mTOR activation for muscle growth, he clarifies that it's primarily branched-chain amino acids, rather than animal protein, that stimulate this pathway. Together, they discuss the balance of suppressing and activating mTOR to combat muscle loss as we age.In this clip

I'm concerned about the role of mTOR and IGF-1 in tumor growth as discussed in episode 36. AMA#2: Acid/base balance, APOE4/FTO, omega-3s, carnivore diet types, the problem with broccoli and more! and 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?
