Dr. Lufkin’s emphasis on lifestyle choices and interventions like rapamycin brings a holistic approach to promoting overall well-being. With an engaging exploration of mTOR’s role in health and aging, this episode sets the stage for a deeper understanding of how mTOR influences our health and why it’s crucial for individuals interested in healthy aging and longevity.
mTOR is a metabolic switch crucial for cell growth and repair. Its activation can lead to aging phenotypes and chronic diseases. This nutrient-sensing molecule has a major impact on longevity, chronic diseases, and overall health.
Rapamycin, a drug that targets mTOR, has proved useful for improving skin aging, delaying menopause, and preventing chronic diseases. It can modulate mTOR to enhance the health span and address aging-related conditions. As an FDA-approved drug, it is being studied for both cancer treatment and longevity.
A metabolically-healthy lifestyle influences menopause, fertility, and overall health. Certain lifestyle modifications can also affect mTOR and its impact on longevity quality and delaying chronic diseases.
