I'm concerned about the role of mTOR and IGF-1 in tumor growth as discussed in the episode 19 of the Huberman Lab Podcast, "Can we live forever? A conversation about aging with David Sinclair PhD," and the clip "Diet and Longevity." 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?
