Is it more beneficial to eat a high-protein diet as we get older or to reduce protein to slow the mTOR response, based on the episode Dr Layne Norton: The Science of Eating for Health, Fat Loss & Lean Muscle | Huberman Lab Podcast #97, the clip Protein and Longevity, the episode Protein, fasting, cancer, and longevity | Valter Longo, PhD, and the clip Protein Intake Impact, as well as the episode Dr. Gabrielle Lyon: How to Exercise & Eat for Optimal Health & Longevity and the clip Protein and Muscle Health?
I have a question about this episode Dr Layne Norton: The Science of Eating for Health, Fat Loss & Lean Muscle | Huberman Lab Podcast #97 and this Protein and Longevity. I'm concerned about the role of mTOR and IGF-1 in tumor growth as discussed in the episode Dr. David Sinclair: The Biology of Slowing & Reversing Aging | Huberman Lab Podcast #52 and the clip Leucine and Longevity. Can we achieve a balance 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?
