In this podcast episode, the host introduces the concept of mTOR (mechanistic target of rapamycin) and its significant role in aging, healthspan, and longevity. The guest, Dr. Dudley Lamming, an expert in aging and metabolism, explains mTOR's function in nutrient sensing and cellular processes. They discuss how mTOR activation promotes growth but can accelerate aging and disease if overly active. Dr. Lamming shares insights on how fasting, caloric restriction, and balanced protein intake can modulate mTOR activity to enhance health and longevity. Practical lifestyle changes, such as intermittent fasting and maintaining metabolic health, are recommended for optimal mTOR regulation.
