Exercise and Cognition
Exercise plays a crucial role in balancing mTOR and autophagy, with the catabolic nature of workouts driving cellular breakdown. The optimal strategy involves exercising at the end of a fasting period to maximize mTOR activation during recovery. Incorporating intermittent fasting with a defined eating window enhances muscle rebuilding and overall cognitive protection.In this clip

What is the timing for mTOR activation after exercise?
Is there a balance that can be achieved between activating mTOR and IGF-1 pathways for muscle growth and strength training and downregulating them through fasting, as discussed in the episodes 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? 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?
