Dive into the fascinating world of longevity research as we explore rapamycin, potentially the most powerful anti-aging pharmaceutical currently known. Dr. Rick Cohen, longevity physician with over 25 years of experience, reveals how this natural molecule discovered on Easter Island targets a fundamental cellular pathway called mTOR that acts as our body's metabolic switch between growth and repair.This episode is sponsored by Gatlan who makes rapamycin that we will be discussing available in their program. I am an advisor to Gatlan but I only advise companies that I believe in and would use for myself and my family. The conversation uncovers the remarkable story behind rapamycin's discovery - how it sat forgotten in a researcher's freezer for years before its life-extending properties were recognized. Dr. Rick explains that mTOR has been conserved through billions of years of evolution precisely because it's so critical to survival, sensing nutrient availability and telling cells whether to grow or repair themselves.What makes this discussion particularly valuable is Dr. Rick's practical approach to using rapamycin as a metabolic health tool rather than a miracle drug. He shares insights on proper dosing strategies, emphasizing the importance of cycling between periods of mTOR suppression and activation to mimic natural patterns our bodies evolved with. This cycling approach - perhaps taking rapamycin for a few months, then taking a month off for anabolic growth through strength training - may be key to optimizing its benefits.The breadth of rapamycin's benefits is truly remarkable - from hair regrowth and skin rejuvenation to improvements in hearing, fertility, and protection against diseases ranging from Alzheimer's to atherosclerosis. This suggests rapamycin isn't just treating symptoms but addressing a fundamental mechanism of aging itself.Ready to understand how this single pathway could influence every aspect of how we age? Listen now to discover why balancing growth and repair cycles might be the key to extending your healthspan and potentially your healthspan and potentially your lifespan.https://www.gatlan.com/Lies I Taught In Medical School : Free sample chapter- https://www.robertlufkinmd.com/lies/Complete Metabolic Heart Scan (LUFKIN20 for 20% off) https://www.innerscopic.com/Fasting Mimicking Diet (20% off) https://prolonlife.com/Lufkin At home blood testing (20% off) https://siphoxhealth.com/lufkinMimio Health (LUFKIN for 15% off) https://mimiohealth.sjv.io/c/5810114/2745519/30611 Web: https://robertlufkinmd.com/X: https://x.com/robertlufkinmdYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/robertLufkinmdInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/robertlufkinmd/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertlufkinmd/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@robertlufkinThreads: https://www.threads.net/@robertlufkinmdFacebook: ...
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Ben Weitz, a chiropractor with nearly four decades of experience and a deep-rooted passion for functional medicine. After suffering a serious bone injury on Halloween 2023, Dr. Weitz turned his own recovery into a masterclass in functional healing—skipping surgery and injections in favor of peptides, targeted supplementation, and upstream thinking. This isn't theory—it's application. We unpack what worked, what didn't, and why root-cause resolution still matters most. We dive into key healing tools like Forteo, collagen, and vitamin D3 + K2, while also covering deeper concepts like mTOR, longevity science, and why chiropractors often lead the way in integrative care. It's a powerful reminder that movement dysfunction, not just aging, is the true driver of poor health—and that healing starts when you treat the system, not just the symptom. Key Takeaways: Functional Medicine's Role in Healing: Dr. Ben Weitz utilized a functional medicine approach, including advanced supplements and anabolic compounds, to address a severe femur fracture. Integration in Medicine: The conversation highlights the importance of integrating functional medicine with conventional treatment strategies for optimal health outcomes.

In this episode, Dr. Gil Blander welcomes Dr. Haim Cohen to Longevity by Design to explore his revolutionary approach to understanding aging. Haim's team analyzed acetylation sites across 107 mammalian species, creating its most extensive comparative study. This computational approach revealed specific post-translational modifications that evolved exclusively in long-lived animals.The research identifies critical pathways where evolution engineered longevity solutions. These acetylation changes affect DNA repair, cell cycle regulation, and mitochondrial function. Unlike traditional aging research focusing on single pathways like mTOR or caloric restriction, Haim's unbiased screening simultaneously reveals multiple longevity targets. Evolution provided a natural laboratory for testing anti-aging modifications over millions of years.The findings offer exciting therapeutic possibilities for human longevity. Haim's team is now creating transgenic mice to test whether mimicking these evolutionary changes can extend lifespan in the lab. This research suggests humans could potentially "accelerate evolution" by implementing modifications that nature has already proven effective in whales, elephants, and other long-lived species.

Healing isn't linear—and comfort is killing your progress. In this episode, we get real about why true metabolic flexibility (mTOR & AMPK), fasting vs. feasting, building muscle, electrolytes/hydration, and strategic protocols all demand seasons of intentional discomfort. We unpack the classic mistake: doing the right thing at the wrong time, wrong dose, or wrong order, and why your SIBO protocol, keto phase, or GI-MAP obsession didn't fix the terrain (liver, gallbladder, adrenals, stomach acid, biofilm, mold) that caused it. We also hit business, marriage, and mindset: new levels, new devils—and how to keep going when flares hit and faith is all you've got. *** Get Your Tickets Now: Use code REVIVAL for $100 discount FitMom | UNSTUCK: The Women's Health & Hormone Summit *** Gut & Hormones all messed up? ➡️ Take the quiz ***

Dr. Arny Ferrando shares groundbreaking research on essential amino acids, muscle protein synthesis, and emerging cognitive benefits of targeted amino acid supplementation.• Essential amino acids (EAAs) produce greater anabolic response than whole proteins due to requiring no digestion and producing higher blood concentrations• Free-form EAAs need only 15 grams for maximal response compared to 40 grams of whey protein• Taking EAAs one hour before exercise provides optimal muscle protein synthesis due to increased blood flow during workouts• Physiological aging matters more than chronological age when determining nutritional interventions• New research shows EAAs may enhance cognitive function by modulating dopamine/serotonin balance• EAA supplementation helps mitigate muscle loss during bed rest or recovery from injury• The mTOR pathway's connection to cancer is often misinterpreted and shouldn't discourage proper protein intake• Testosterone replacement therapy should be based on symptoms rather than numbers alone• Higher protein turnover is energetically expensive, potentially helping with weight managementTry combining essential amino acids, protein, and creatine supplementation for optimal results, especially when recovering from injury or dealing with age-related muscle loss.

Seizures, sleepless nights, and mysterious white patches on his skin marked the beginning of Daniel's journey with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC). Diagnosed at age 6, Daniel faced a childhood filled with MRIs, EEGs, and specialist visits, often requiring cross-country travel for coordinated care. In this moving episode of On Rare, David Rintell, Head of Patient Advocacy at BridgeBio, and Mandy Rohrig, Senior Director of Patient Advocacy at BridgeBio Gene Therapy, speak with Daniel, a 31-year-old living in Seattle, about growing up with TSC, the emotional toll of visible symptoms, and the stigma he faced from peers. He reflects on the cognitive and mood impacts of TSC, including OCD and outbursts, and how he often kept to himself to feel more accepted. Today, Daniel is an active advocate in the TSC community, emphasizing the importance of connection, representation, and finding support among those with shared experiences. As he puts it, “You have to find your people.” Che-Wei Chang, Principal Scientist at BridgeBio, presents a medical overview of Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC), a rare genetic disorder marked by seizures and benign tumors throughout the body. TSC results from a spontaneous mutation in a single copy of the TSC1 or TSC2 gene, which normally inhibit mTOR, an enzyme that regulates cell growth. Loss of this inhibition leads to mTOR hyperactivation, leading to abnormal cell proliferation and tumors in the brain, kidneys, skin, and other organs. Diagnosis typically involves identifying tubers in the brain along with tumors in other organs and is confirmed through genetic testing. Treatments include mTOR inhibitors, which are effective against many TSC-related tumors, and anti-seizure medications, although drug resistance is common.

In this special episode of Skin Anarchy, host Dr. Ekta Yadav celebrates a milestone moment—her latest mini review, Inflammation and Aging: The Skin Inflammasome in the Context of Longevity Science, has been published in the Journal of Cellular Immunology. This episode offers listeners a deep but accessible dive into the mechanisms that link chronic inflammation, skin health, and the biology of aging.Dr. Yadav unpacks the concept of “inflammaging,” explaining how low-grade, persistent inflammation accelerates skin aging and predisposes us to a host of conditions—from acne and psoriasis to pigmentation disorders. Central to this is the NLRP3 inflammasome, a cellular sensor that responds to both internal stress and external insults. But the conversation doesn't stop at surface-level inflammation—it zooms out to show how NAD+ depletion, mTOR signaling, sirtuin activity, and cellular senescence all play a role in the skin's aging clock.Listeners will get a taste of the therapeutic landscape too—from the promise of repurposed drugs like metformin and rapamycin to the caution needed around immune modulation. Dr. Yadav also weaves in emerging research on gut-skin interactions and psychoneuroendocrine links, emphasizing the systemic nature of skin health in the context of longevity.If you're curious about the future of aging, biohacking, or the real science behind graceful skin longevity, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in to learn what's next in skin biology—and why inflammation is more than just skin deep.Read the full article HERE.To learn more about Dr. Ekta, visit her social media.

Send us a textEpisode Summary: New research on how dietary fats, particularly omega-6 fatty acids like linoleic acid, influence triple-negative breast cancer progression by activating the mTOR pathway, a key regulator of cell growth; role of the FABP5 protein in enhancing cancer cells' sensitivity to omega-6 fats; differences between breast cancer subtypes; broader implications of dietary balance for health.About the guest: John Blenis, PhD is a Professor of Pharmacology at the Meyer Cancer Center at Weill Cornell Medicine. Nikos Koundouros, PhD is a postdoctoral fellow in Blenis' lab.Note: Podcast episodes are fully available to paid subscribers on the M&M Substack and everyone on YouTube. Partial versions are available elsewhere. Transcript and other information on Substack.Key Points:mTOR pathway acts as a cellular “brain,” sensing nutrients like amino acids, glucose, and fats to regulate growth. Its dysregulation can drive cancer.High dietary omega-6 fatty acids, like linoleic acid found in seed oils, can fuel triple-negative breast cancer growth by activating mTOR.FABP5, a lipid chaperone protein, is overexpressed in triple-negative breast cancer, making these tumors more sensitive to omega-6 fats, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic target.Modern diets with high omega-6 to omega-3 ratios disrupt inflammation balance, unlike historical 1:1 ratios, potentially increasing cancer risk.Genetic variations and cancer subtypes highlight the need for tailored dietary recommendations, as blanket nutrition advice may not suit all patients.While omega-6 fats exacerbate existing triple-negative breast cancer, their role in initiating cancer remains unclear, requiring further study.High omega-6 intake may influence other cancers (e.g., prostate, colon) and chronic diseases like obesity, linked to FABP5 and inflammation.Related episode:M&M 200: Dietary Fats & Seed Oils in Inflammation, Colon Cancer & Chronic Disease | Tim Yeatman & GaneSupport the showAll episodes, show notes, transcripts, and more at the M&M Substack Affiliates: KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB + potassium, calcium & magnesium, formulated with kidney health in mind.

On les retrouve dans une grande variété d'aliments : produits laitiers, viandes, œufs, poissons, légumineuses, céréales… Pourtant, consommer trop de protéines, notamment via les régimes hyperprotéinés ou les produits enrichis (barres, poudres, yaourts), peut présenter des risques réels pour la santé.C'est ce qu'alerte l'Observatoire de la Prévention de l'Institut de cardiologie de Montréal. Dans un article de 2024, il met en garde contre le surdosage protéique, notamment issu des sources animales, qui pourrait augmenter le risque d'accidents cardiovasculaires (AVC). Cette alerte repose sur une étude américaine récente, menée à la fois sur des humains et des souris, qui s'est intéressée aux effets de la leucine, un acide aminé abondant dans la viande, les œufs et les produits laitiers.Les chercheurs ont observé que la leucine stimule une voie biologique appelée complexe mTOR, qui, en s'activant dans certaines cellules immunitaires (les macrophages), favorise la formation de plaques d'athérosclérose. Ces plaques peuvent obstruer les artères et augmenter significativement le risque d'AVC ou de crise cardiaque. Ainsi, consommer un repas très riche en protéines animales (plus de 25 g en une seule fois) serait un facteur aggravant, notamment chez les personnes à risque cardiovasculaire.En France, l'ANSES (Agence nationale de sécurité sanitaire de l'alimentation) recommande 0,8 g de protéines par kilo de poids corporel et par jour, soit environ 50 à 60 g pour une personne de 70 kg. Or, les données montrent que 85 % de la population dépasse cette dose, et près de 25 % consomment le double. Les chercheurs montréalais conseillent de ne pas excéder 1,4 à 1,5 g/kg/jour, soit 100 g maximum pour un adulte de 70 kg.Il est également essentiel de répartir les apports protéiques au cours de la journée : un excès ponctuel à un seul repas est plus nocif qu'une consommation modérée étalée. Par exemple, un petit-déjeuner avec un peu de fromage, un déjeuner avec une portion de viande, et un dîner végétarien à base de légumineuses permet un équilibre plus sain.En conclusion, si les protéines sont indispensables à la santé, leur excès, surtout d'origine animale, peut nuire aux artères et au cœur. Comme souvent en nutrition, l'équilibre reste la clé. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

In this episode of the Heal Nourish Grow podcast, Dr. Chris Rhodes, a nutrition scientist, discusses his journey into the fields of longevity and fasting. He explains the significance of autophagy and shares his personal experiences with fasting. Dr. Rhodes also introduces Mimio, a product designed to mimic the benefits of fasting at the molecular level, and discusses the clinical studies that support its efficacy. The conversation delves into the science behind Mimeo's ingredients and their roles in promoting healthspan and longevity. Visit Mimio to learn more and get an awesome discount! Takeaways Fasting can activate longevity bio programs within our cells. Autophagy is a crucial process for cellular health and longevity. GLP-1 drugs like Ozembic may positively impact longevity pathways. Mimeo is designed to mimic the benefits of fasting without actual fasting. Clinical studies show Mimeo can improve metabolic health markers. The formulation of Mimeo includes powerful anti-aging molecules. Nicotinamide plays a key role in cellular energy and metabolism. Using Mimeo can enhance the benefits of shorter fasting periods. Maintaining a balance between mTOR activation and fasting pathways is essential for health. https://youtu.be/CidbXEJcj3k Episode transcript Cheryl McColgan (00:00.834)Hey everyone. Welcome to the Heal Nourish Grow Podcast. I don't even know the name of my own podcast. It's loving my words today. But anyway, I'm really excited about today's guest. I'm here with Dr. Chris Rhodes and he is a nutrition scientist. I'll let him better describe himself, but you will have heard his full bio, of course, before this, but I always like to start out, Dr. Rhodes, with just having you kind of share in your own words, what brought you into this space? What made you passionate about working with Mimeo Health and the technology there. Like what led you to this point? Dr. Chris Rhodes (00:32.962)Yeah, great question. Really happy to be here, Cheryl. Thanks for having me on. really got me interested into the longevity space, the healthy aging space, and eventually the fasting space was coming out of college. I got my BS in biochemistry from Leroy LaMaria Mount University, but like a lot of college kids didn't really know what I wanted to do there. So to try and figure that out, took an immunology fellowship at Stanford, just kind of pouring through all the research I could get my hands on going to all these seminars, and eventually came across the longevity research. And I thought that was so fascinating because it was this thing that used to be relegated to myth and legend, right? It was like Ponce de Leon and the Fountain of Youth. And now it's this very active, very rigorous area of scientific research with a ton of funding and a ton of companies and a ton of government and scientific attention on it. And it's one of those things that helps with everything, right? If you can solve aging, then you can pretty much also solve disease because by and large, most young folks don't get disease. really see that aging is something that's an underlying factor in every disease that happens. So if you can tackle these fundamental issues of aging at the cellular level and really slow that process down, then you can not only potentially enhance lifespan but also healthspan at the same time, which I think is what we're all really going for, living our lives as well as possible and as best health as possible for as long long as we can. When you're in the healthy aging and longevity space, eventually you come across fasting because fasting is one of the only ways that we know of to reliably extend lifespan and health span helps to treat, prevent, or delay most major diseases. And the reason why that was so fascinating to me is because it does all of that without actually adding anything into the system, right? So it's not this superfood or this wonder drug that's doing al...
Dr. Keith Baar is a Professor at the University of California, Davis in the Department of Physiology and Membrane Biology. During his Ph.D. studies, his research revealed that mechanical strain on muscle fibers activates the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway, a crucial regulator of muscular hypertrophy. Subsequently, he studied the molecular dynamics of skeletal muscle adaptation to endurance training under the guidance of Dr. John Holloszy, a legend in the field of exercise physiology, considered the father of modern exercise biochemistry. Building on all of this experience, he conducted research into tendon health and the potential for engineering ligaments, which could have implications for treatment and recovery from injuries.Sponsors:Cresset prestigious family office for CEOs, founders, and entrepreneurs: https://cressetcapital.com/tim (book a call today)AG1 all-in-one nutritional supplement: https://DrinkAG1.com/Tim (1-year supply of Vitamin D (and 5 free AG1 travel packs) with your first subscription purchase.)Shopify global commerce platform, providing tools to start, grow, market, and manage a retail business: https://shopify.com/tim (one-dollar-per-month trial period)*Links to everything discussed: https://tim.blog/2025/02/26/dr-keith-baar/Timestamps:[00:00:00] Start [00:07:12] How I discovered Keith's work through a tweet about tennis elbow and rock climbing.[00:07:54] Emil Abrahamsson's hangboard training protocol.[00:09:20] The fundamental principles of strength training and connective tissue adaptation.[00:10:36] mTOR complex 1 and its role in muscle growth.[00:12:06] Engineered ligaments and the discovery of minimal effective doses for tendon adaptation.[00:13:50] The refractory period between optimal tendon loading sessions.[00:16:42] Rapamycin's effects on muscle hypertrophy.[00:18:49] Protocols for tennis elbow rehabilitation.[00:20:28] Why isometrics work better than eccentrics for tendon healing.[00:22:14] Stress shielding and how load distribution affects tendon healing.[00:29:07] The misconception about eccentric loading for tendon injuries and why velocity matters.[00:29:58] Ideal duration for isometric holds (10-30 seconds) based on injury status.[00:33:50] My elbow issues and current rehab approach.[00:36:02] Overcoming vs. yielding isometrics and optimal loading strategies.[00:47:11] Dr. Barr's movement prescription for my tennis elbow.[00:52:18] Loading timing post-surgery and RICE protocol criticism.[00:56:58] Achilles tendon rehabilitation after surgery.[01:00:18] Critique of orthopedic suturing techniques and recommendation for resorbable sutures.[01:04:02] Multiple position isometrics for tennis elbow rehabilitation.[01:07:26] Collagen synthesis, supplementation, and vitamin C timing.[01:12:59] Critique of BPC-157 and other injectable peptides for tendon healing.[01:18:19] Evaluation of orthobiologics' (PRP, prolotherapy, stem cells) effectiveness.[01:21:37] JAK-STAT inhibitor drugs and their effects on tendon growth.[01:25:35] Drugs that increase risk of tendon ruptures (fluoroquinolones, AT-1 receptor drugs).[01:29:33] How estrogen affects tendon stiffness and injury risk in women.[01:32:48] Testosterone's opposite effects on tendon compared to estrogen.[01:35:31] Protein intake recommendations and timing.[01:40:11] Ketogenic diet effects on mitochondrial biogenesis and longevity.[01:41:57] Comparison of ketogenic diet, low protein diet, and rapamycin for longevity.[01:47:19] Inflammation's role in adaptation and when to reduce it.[01:51:17] Timing of ice baths relative to training for optimal recovery.[01:52:33] Parting thoughts.*For show notes and past guests on The Tim Ferriss Show, please visit tim.blog/podcast.For deals from sponsors of The Tim Ferriss Show, please visit tim.blog/podcast-sponsorsSign up for Tim's email newsletter (5-Bullet Friday) at tim.blog/friday.For transcripts of episodes, go to tim.blog/transcripts.Discover Tim's books: tim.blog/books.Follow Tim:Twitter: twitter.com/tferriss Instagram: instagram.com/timferrissYouTube: youtube.com/timferrissFacebook: facebook.com/timferriss LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/timferrissPast guests on The Tim Ferriss Show include Jerry Seinfeld, Hugh Jackman, Dr. Jane Goodall, LeBron James, Kevin Hart, Doris Kearns Goodwin, Jamie Foxx, Matthew McConaughey, Esther Perel, Elizabeth Gilbert, Terry Crews, Sia, Yuval Noah Harari, Malcolm Gladwell, Madeleine Albright, Cheryl Strayed, Jim Collins, Mary Karr, Maria Popova, Sam Harris, Michael Phelps, Bob Iger, Edward Norton, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Neil Strauss, Ken Burns, Maria Sharapova, Marc Andreessen, Neil Gaiman, Neil de Grasse Tyson, Jocko Willink, Daniel Ek, Kelly Slater, Dr. Peter Attia, Seth Godin, Howard Marks, Dr. Brené Brown, Eric Schmidt, Michael Lewis, Joe Gebbia, Michael Pollan, Dr. Jordan Peterson, Vince Vaughn, Brian Koppelman, Ramit Sethi, Dax Shepard, Tony Robbins, Jim Dethmer, Dan Harris, Ray Dalio, Naval Ravikant, Vitalik Buterin, Elizabeth Lesser, Amanda Palmer, Katie Haun, Sir Richard Branson, Chuck Palahniuk, Arianna Huffington, Reid Hoffman, Bill Burr, Whitney Cummings, Rick Rubin, Dr. Vivek Murthy, Darren Aronofsky, Margaret Atwood, Mark Zuckerberg, Peter Thiel, Dr. Gabor Maté, Anne Lamott, Sarah Silverman, Dr. Andrew Huberman, and many more.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Can You Mimic Fasting—Without Actually Fasting? Chris Rhodes, a biochemist and longevity researcher, joins Dave to reveal a groundbreaking fasting mimetic that could revolutionize how we approach aging, metabolism, and health. Fasting is one of the most powerful tools for longevity, but what if you could achieve the same benefits without hunger, energy crashes, or social sacrifices? Scientists have identified key compounds that mimic fasting at the cellular level—offering a way to extend lifespan, boost metabolism, and enhance cognitive function without giving up food. Enter Mimio, a blend of four key molecules naturally produced during fasting, is engineered to deliver the life-extending benefits of fasting—without starvation. For decades, fasting has been the gold standard for longevity, but over-fasting can wreck hormones, metabolism, and muscle mass. So, what if you could get the benefits of a 36-hour fast without the downsides? Chris breaks down the science behind fasting, autophagy, and the game-changing compounds that trick your body into entering a fasted state—even while eating. What You'll Learn: • The optimal fasting window for maximizing lifespan (Hint: It's not 16 hours) • The four fasting metabolites that extend life by 96% • How Mimio mimics fasting benefits—without giving up food • The real reason over-fasting destroys your metabolism and hormones • Why traditional longevity drugs (Metformin, Rapamycin) fall short • Can you build muscle and burn fat at the same time?
