More about today’s show:

Structuring our diet so as to minimize our environmental footprint is baked into the nutrition narrative.

It’s why Dr. Shawn Baker says, “The best diet for the environment is the one that keeps you out of the hospital!”

Huh?

The US healthcare system alone generates five times more greenhouse gasses (GHG) than animal agriculture does.

That wasn’t a typo: the healthcare sector adds significantly to air pollution, including acid rain, greenhouse gas emissions, smog formation and more.
So, if you care about the environment, a diet and lifestyle that help you avoid hospitalization is best!

Here are some of my favorite key moments in this conversation:

17:38 The environmental burden of the US healthcare sector
22:00 Low levels of carnitine
48:25 Is fiber actually healthy?
52:37 Headlines and health-risk warnings: relative vs. absolute risk

mTOR is an enzyme that’s expressed when nutrients and growth factors are abundant, like after you eat a big meal.

About Today's Show: 

Certain “longevity experts” talk about how mTOR is an initiator for cancer and other diseases, so in seeking to avoid these diseases, folks should strive to avoid mTOR activation.

Naturally, the conversation will then lean towards avoiding protein and eating more plant-based foods.

The problem with this narrative is that it’s only half the story: plant-derived foods can stimulate mTOR just like animal foods can.

This new video may clear up the confusion and help you better understand the loads of confusion about mTOR, protein, cancer and other diseases.

P.S. Learn new science from mTORman David Sabatini about what regulates mTOR and its involvement in various diseases.

Next time you hear someone say, “We’re all getting older together!” around a birthday, remind them that’s not entirely true.

About Today's Show: 

New testing, aka the myDNAge test, reveals our “epigenetic aging clock” that’s been characterized by Dr. Steve Horvath. This test analyses methylation patterns on more than 2,000 gene regions.

So, while we’re all aging at the same chronological time, our biological age is variable based upon our diets and lifestyles.

In fact, Dr. Horvath recently published data showing how low-dose growth hormone DHEA combined with berberine can actually slow down biological aging.

Here’s the video review and link to the study:

We discuss more about:

-Age-associated inflammation or “inflammaging” (chronic, low-grade inflammation) as the reason why you age
-How this protocol enlarges the thymus gland, which has been shown to shrink with age
-DHEA and metformin as tools to slow down age-related changes in glucose metabolism

Personally, I’ve been a huge fan of both DHEA and berberine (which functions similarly to metformin) for a long time.
