Unlock Your Longevity: Mastering the mTOR Pathway for Optimal Health and Age-Defying Fitness
Manage episode 362796846 series 3453883
In this episode of The Modern Vital Podcast, the focus is on the mTOR pathway, a crucial protein complex responsible for regulating cell growth, metabolism, and survival in response to various environmental signals. The discussion highlights that mTOR is both activated and inhibited by exercise and plays a key role in extending our lifespan and health span. The pathway is involved in various diseases, such as cancer, metabolic disorders like type 2 diabetes, and neurological disorders.
The connection between insulin resistance and mTOR is explored, with the idea that mTOR activity can be modulated by diet, lifestyle, and environment. Caloric restriction and exercise, particularly high-intensity interval training, have been shown to impact mTOR activity. Additionally, supporting our mitochondria through nutrients can also support the mTOR pathway. Insulin resistance, which is the main factor in many diseases, can impair mTOR signaling and lead to problems like sarcopenia.
Lastly, the podcast suggests ways to activate the mTOR pathway, emphasizing the need for the right balance of activation. Resistance training, adequate protein intake, sun exposure, and mitochondrial support through supplements can all contribute to mTOR optimization. The conclusion stresses the importance of optimizing the mTOR pathway daily to support longevity and overall health.
