mTOR and AMPK Pathways
Discover the critical balance between the mTOR and AMPK pathways, which influence muscle growth and aging. Learn how factors like diet, intermittent fasting, and strength training can either activate or inhibit these pathways. Key compounds such as resveratrol and curcumin play a role in downregulating mTOR, promoting overall health and resilience.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 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?
