1 00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, Welcome to another edition of Wisdom Wednesdays, and 2 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:18,280 Speaker 1: we are continuing our series on anti aging. Are combating 3 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,880 Speaker 1: the major hallwarks of aging, and today is episode six, 4 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,480 Speaker 1: so we are halfway through and we're going to talk 5 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 1: today about disregulated nutrient sensing. So, hi, metabolism and aging 6 00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 1: are connected, and disregulated nutrient sensing or deregulated what if 7 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 1: you want to call it, that's one of the key 8 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: drivers of aging. So in simple terms, to explain it, 9 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:47,200 Speaker 1: nutrient sensing refers to how our cells detect and respond 10 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:51,559 Speaker 1: to nutrients such as glucose, amino acids, and fats, and 11 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 1: this process controls our energy balance, whether or not we're 12 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 1: gaining or losing weight, but also cellular growth and our 13 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 1: longevity as well. But as we age, we know that 14 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 1: our ability to properly regulate nutrients sensing declines, as to 15 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 1: do many metabolic processes, and that leads to increased metabolic 16 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: issues such as insulin resistance, obesity, type two diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, 17 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: and accelerated aging. Now, the good news is that, like 18 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:27,400 Speaker 1: the rest of these hallmarks, exercise, diet and targeted interventions 19 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: can have an impact, and we know that they can 20 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 1: restore nutrients sensing and help to slow aging at a 21 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:38,400 Speaker 1: cellular level. So let's dive in a little bit so ourselves, 22 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: they rely on these key pathways to monitor and respond 23 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 1: to nutrient levels. So think of them like biological fuel gauges. 24 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: I think that's probably the best analogy. And they adjust 25 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: metabolism based on our food availability. And there's four major 26 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: pathways involved in nutrients sensing. So the first one is 27 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: in sin and IGF one and that's a growth pathway, 28 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: so inin and inchin like growth factor one, they regulate 29 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 1: regulate sorry our glucose uptake and our cell growth. And 30 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: when they're overactivated, these pathways contribute to aging and increased 31 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: disease risks, particularly of diabetes and obesity. And then the 32 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 1: second pathway is m tour mammalian target of rapamycin, and 33 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: that's a growth and anabolism pathway, so it's a building pathway. 34 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 1: So are now this m tour promotes protein synthesis and 35 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:47,079 Speaker 1: sell growth. Now, chronic overactivation of it due to excessive calories. Overall, 36 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: being in a constant fed state is linked to obesity, cancer, 37 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: and reduce longevity. But as I'll explain, later there's a 38 00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 1: lot of controversy in this topic. Then the third word 39 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 1: pathway is AMPK and that's I think of this as 40 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: a real energy sensor. So when our energy is low, 41 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: if we've been fasting or exercising, AMPK activates fat burning 42 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:18,239 Speaker 1: and mitochondrial function, and also autophogy the cellular cleanup where 43 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 1: it recycles lots of damage parts of the cell to 44 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 1: actually recreate energy, which is very very clever. And we 45 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:30,079 Speaker 1: know that higher activity of AMPK is linked to longer 46 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: lifespan and better metabolic health. And then the fourth pathway 47 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: are cerituons, and these are often referred to as longevity regulators. 48 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: And these certuons regulate our cell repair, our DNA stability, 49 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: and mitochondrial function, and they're activated by and things such 50 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: as fasting and calorie restriction. And then there's a lot 51 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: of controversy about this. Certain plant compounds reds veratrol was 52 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: touted as a real act the Vieta of turturns largely 53 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: the work of David Sinclair, which has now been firmly debunked. 54 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: So I'm going to come back to res virtual in 55 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: a little bit, but we can see that there's still 56 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 1: a lot that we don't know about these different pathways, 57 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: and we know more about some than others. Now, when 58 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: we're young, all of these systems working harmony. But when 59 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: we eage, this nutrient sensing becomes dysregulated, leading to metabolic dysfunction. 60 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 1: And so what happens is insulin resistant develops. We become 61 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: less responsive to insulin, and that leads to chronically high 62 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 1: blood sugar, increased diabetes risk, and dementia. You've heard me 63 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: talk about dementia and particularly Alzheimer's diseases, type three diabetes 64 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: and the other thing. M tour can become overactivated, and 65 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: that can contribute to chronic inflammation, excessive cell growth, reduced 66 00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: a toophogy, and accelerated aging, and then this AMPK that declines, 67 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,719 Speaker 1: and when that is lower, your body tends to store 68 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 1: more fat, it burns less energy, struggles with cellular repair, 69 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,720 Speaker 1: and you put on weigh and start to fall apart, 70 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: and Thenswertwin's become suppressed. Particularly this is accentiated by poor 71 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:19,039 Speaker 1: that lacks of lack of exercise and excessive calorie intake, 72 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: and that then impoers mitochondrial function and longevity. And the 73 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: result of all of this, it's a higher risk of 74 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: metabolic diseases, you get increased inflammation and faster biological aging. 75 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 1: So let's now talk about the interventions. So again, first off, 76 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: cab off the rank you'll not be surprised to hear 77 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 1: is exercise. We know that exercise increases insulin sensitivity. There's 78 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: oodles and oodles of research around that both aerobic slash, 79 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 1: high intensity interval training and strength training, and all of 80 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: them enhance glucose uptake and lower our blood sugar, make 81 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: it more stable and reduce our diabetes risk and our 82 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:04,840 Speaker 1: risk of Altimer's disease. Exercise also activates a MPK pathway 83 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: and that promotes fat metabolism, reducing inflammation and enhances our 84 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 1: cellular cleanup. Exercise also balances M tour and this is 85 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 1: the key thing. This M tour needs to be in balanced, 86 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: this growth versus repair. And we know that that moderate 87 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,280 Speaker 1: to vigorous physical activity stimulate its M tour just enough 88 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 1: to build muscle while allowing proper cellular repair. We know 89 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: that overeating without exercise leads to constant M tour activation, 90 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: increasing disease risk, and some researchers think there's a significant 91 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 1: difference between M tour being activated within the muscle cells 92 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,720 Speaker 1: and M tour being activated outside of the muscle cells. 93 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: So the M tour pathway certainly is not crystal clear. 94 00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: You know, some longevity components are proponents talk about that 95 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: we should be doing fasting and long term calorie restriction, 96 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,720 Speaker 1: and that is probably not looking like it's the answer, 97 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 1: particularly for primates and especially humans. And then the fourth 98 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: way that exercise restores are the nutrients sensing. Is it 99 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: boosts or tuns and these DNA repairer and longevity pathways 100 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 1: and improves mitochondrial function and reduces eating markers. So other 101 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: things that we can do is following a balanced diet 102 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: and making sure we're not constantly in a FAED state. 103 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: And so this is where I think we should be 104 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: eating a diet, And it doesn't matter whether you're vegetarian, vegan, paleo, 105 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 1: high fat, low carb, low fat, high carb, just reducing 106 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: our amount of ultra processed foods, making sure that we're 107 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: eating lots of real foods what I call low hi stuff, 108 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: and making sure we're having lots of of fresh fruit 109 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: and vegetables with have polyphenols and flavonoids that really help 110 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 1: to support these cellular pathways. I think that's really key. 111 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 1: And then making sure that we're not in a constantly 112 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 1: fed state. I think this whole idea that we should 113 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: have three meals a day plus snacks is really not 114 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,679 Speaker 1: helpful because it particularly impacts on M tour and switches 115 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: M tour on all of the time. I think we're 116 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: much better to have two, if you like, but certainly 117 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,559 Speaker 1: three good solid meals that have enough protein and fat, 118 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: and then you won't need the snacks in between, and 119 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: you won't constantly turn on that M tour pathway. So 120 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: another promising mechanism to help with this is intermittent fasting 121 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 1: or time restricted eating. So fasting naturally activates ampk and sertoons, 122 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 1: and the thinking is certainly in mace and other animals 123 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: that can reduce age will of the damage. There's still 124 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 1: a little bit of debate about this with humans, but 125 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 1: it would appear that periods of fasting, such as like 126 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: a three or a five day water fast can really 127 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: help with cellular cleanup. And then fifth sixteen to eight 128 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 1: fasting or or you know, pressing your your eating into 129 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 1: a ten hour window or a worst case, a twelve 130 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 1: r window, or certainly an eight our window. That is 131 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 1: a simple way to reset nutrient sensing. But I would 132 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: say it really depends here whether or not you're doing 133 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: you should be doing intermittent fasting really depends on your 134 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 1: life stage and your metabolic health. So I would say 135 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 1: that if your metabolic health is not great, then give 136 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,679 Speaker 1: intermittent fasting or time restricted feeding a crack. But if 137 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 1: you're a bit older, certainly fifty plus, and you're in 138 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: good metabolic health, right, you're pretty late. You've got no 139 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 1: issue with your blood sugar or those sorts of things, 140 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 1: and maybe doing constant time restricted feeding might not be 141 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,440 Speaker 1: useful because of its impact on muscle mass. So that 142 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 1: still needs to be cleared up. So I'm one that 143 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,200 Speaker 1: kind of sits on the fence a little bit. I 144 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 1: used to do sixteen eight. I stopped doing it because 145 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: I was losing muscle quickly, But I've since realized that 146 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: that was probably to do with my congenital heart issue, 147 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 1: and that the bicos but aotic valve that I had 148 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: causes you to lose weight and particularly muscle, So I 149 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 1: might revisit this. But it is certainly not a close 150 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: case about fasting whether or not it is beneficial for everybody. 151 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,199 Speaker 1: If you want to lose weight, time restricted eating can 152 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 1: be very very effective, mostly because it reduces your calories. 153 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,079 Speaker 1: If you've got issues with your blood sugar, it can 154 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: be really effective and it can help you with metabolic flexibility. 155 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:09,680 Speaker 1: And that's why I say you've got to look at 156 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 1: what are your major health goals. Right. If you've got 157 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: a reasonable amount of muscle, but you're not metabolically healthy, 158 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 1: then maybe give it a crack. Then the next thing 159 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: around nutrition is to make sure you're optimizing your protein intake. 160 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 1: So again this is controversial around M tour. Some people 161 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: say we don't want to overstimulate M tour, so we 162 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: should have a low protein diet. I think that the 163 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 1: evidence for that in humans and primates is really really weak. 164 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:44,680 Speaker 1: We know that one of the biggest issues for long 165 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 1: term health is scarcopenia, that loss of muscle mass, and 166 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 1: like I said earlier, M tour inside the muscle cells 167 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 1: seems to be different than M tour outside of the 168 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: muscle cells. So, especially as you get older, we want 169 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 1: to be having one point six to two grams of 170 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: protein per kilogram of body weight. Now, if you're significantly overweight, 171 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 1: you would look at your target weight, and you would 172 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:15,079 Speaker 1: do that that calculation the old recommended daily intakes. In 173 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: fact they're still there is zero point eight grams per kilogram. 174 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,439 Speaker 1: There are many many researchers, myself included, who think that 175 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: that is way too low. It was based on old 176 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 1: nitrogen balanced studies and it was never meant to be optimal. 177 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 1: It was meant to be the amount to prevent disease. 178 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 1: And we think now that that is definitely too low. 179 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,839 Speaker 1: So one point six to two grams spread over those 180 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 1: three meals will make sure that you're getting enough protein, 181 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: stimulating your muscle, and making sure you're not having lots 182 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 1: of snacks so that you're not switching on m tour 183 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: all of the time. Then when we get into the 184 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 1: idea of supplements again a bit of controversy here. Now, 185 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 1: Berberine is one that I would give a big tick. 186 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:06,239 Speaker 1: It has been shown to activate AMPK and improves insulin sensitivity. 187 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 1: It can help people who have diabetes, and that's a 188 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:14,840 Speaker 1: natural supparant called berbermine. Berberine. Sorry, res veratrol, there was 189 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: a lot a lot of stuff around res viatrol. It 190 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: has been well and truly debunked that it's been shown 191 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: that it does not activate surtoons, it does not increase lifespan. 192 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: It's been tested in the Interventions Testing program, it's been debunked, 193 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 1: and Professor David Sinclair has been called a charlatan by 194 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: his Harvard colleagues. So if you're spending your money on 195 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 1: res viatrol, I would suggest that you spend it elsewhere. 196 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 1: And met Foreman is another one that showed a lot 197 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,199 Speaker 1: of promise because there was an early study showing that 198 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 1: people who had diabetes who were taking met foreman actually 199 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 1: outlived people who did not have diabetes and were not 200 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 1: taken met forman. But since then and that created this 201 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 1: whole stuff in the longevity space, and there was all 202 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 1: these people taking met forman. We know that met forman 203 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 1: interferes with exercise, and another study then came out and 204 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 1: showed that actually people on diabetes who had met forman 205 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: didn't live any longer. And when they went and reanalyzed 206 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 1: the data from the first paper, it showed that there 207 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: were a lot of methodo logical issues. So met forman 208 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: is one that's kind of a yeah nah, But it 209 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: is being tested in longevity research, so we may see 210 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 1: that there are some benefits and one thing that has 211 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 1: been consistently shown to extend lifespan, and this is just 212 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: in MAE, but this is through the Interventions Testing program, 213 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: which is the most rigorous assessments of molecules that could 214 00:14:55,800 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 1: potentially extend lifespan is rapamycin and that has been shown 215 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 1: over and over again to consistently extend lifespan in mice, 216 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: and it appears to do so through its impact on 217 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 1: m tour amongst other things. It is now being tested 218 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 1: on dogs and if that shows promise on dogs, then 219 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 1: I think people will really start to get excited. And 220 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of people who take rap 221 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: of mice in off label as a longevity drug. If 222 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: you live in Australia, you get no chance of getting it. 223 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 1: If you live in the States, you can probably get 224 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 1: it from a doctor off label. So in closing this, 225 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 1: disregulated or deregulated nutrient sensing is a major driver of 226 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 1: aging and disease, but it is also highly controllable and 227 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 1: through exercise, intermittent fasting, eating a whole food, low heat 228 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 1: side diet, and potentially some targeted supplements, and by doing 229 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 1: that we can restore our metabolic balance, we can improve 230 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 1: our longevity and reduce our disease risk. So that's it 231 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 1: for this week, folks. I'll catch you next time for 232 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 1: episode seven.
