“Several factors aid a muscle's recovery, including being recreationally active, hot baths, massage, foam rolling, and getting sufficient protein. In this clip, Dr. Brad Schoenfeld discusses the importance of recovery in building muscle mass and strength.”

“Gluten is a complex mixture of hundreds of related but distinct proteins, mainly gliadin and glutenin, found in wheat. Gliadin binds to a receptor on gut cells, stimulating the release of zonulin, a protein that regulates the tight junctions between cells in the gut.”

“Dr. Valter Longo on Resetting Autoimmunity and Rejuvenating Systems with Prolonged Fasting & the FMD. Ruth Patterson, Ph.D. on Time-Restricted Eating in Humans & Breast Cancer Prevention. Dr. Guido Kroemer on Autophagy, Caloric Restriction Mimetics, Fasting & Protein Acetylation.”

“Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) are proteins that play critical roles in two major growth pathways in the human body. The intake of amino acids regulates these two pathways, which must remain in balance to facilitate muscle growth and repair.”

“These compounds work by inducing the same biochemical changes within cells that starvation and fasting induce, such as the acetylation and deacetylation of proteins. Emerging research suggests that caloric restriction mimetics, when used in conjunction with chemotherapy, enhance the anti-cancer immune response that makes chemotherapy have lasting effects.”

“Inflammation is a feature of many chronic diseases, including heart disease, however, it is also critical to a healthy immune response. Apolipoprotein B, a protein synthesized by the liver, allows for the rapid production of lipoproteins during an immune response.”

“Protein intake increases IGF-1 levels in humans, independent of total caloric consumption. IGF-1 participates in a complex pathway known as the growth hormone/IGF-1 axis, where it exerts its role to accelerate aging.”

“Muscle disuse atrophy is characterized by muscle loss due to inactivity, such as when wearing a cast or being immobilized after surgery. The key mechanism behind this muscle loss is reduced muscle protein synthesis.”

“Identifying the mechanisms that drive these correlations is an area of active research. Decreased carbohydrate intake results in reduced insulin signaling, and reductions in protein intake leads to decreased mTOR activation, two major aging pathways.”
