I'm concerned about the role of mTOR and IGF-1 in tumor growth as discussed in the episode How To Build Muscle, Lose Weight & Stay Young For LONGEVITY | Donald Layman and the clip mTOR and Aging. Can we achieve a balance between activating these pathways for muscle growth and strength training, and downregulating them through fasting, as mentioned in the episode Dr. David Sinclair: The Biology of Slowing & Reversing Aging | Huberman Lab Podcast #52 and the clip Leucine and Longevity? 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?
