| 0:00.0 | But on the other hand, protein, what it does is upregulate growth pathways in our body. |
| 0:04.5 | So the two things that seem to age people the most from their diet is sugar, |
| 0:08.7 | and the other side is protein. Sugar may be through insulin signaling, effects, |
| 0:13.3 | cancers, it causes metabolic syndrome, which affects everything else. |
| 0:16.9 | But on the other hand, protein, what it does is upregulate growth pathways in our body. |
| 0:21.7 | We often think about foods as nutrients or building blocks, |
| 0:25.2 | but they're also hormones signaling molecules. |
| 0:28.1 | So in protein, you have methionine, which signals, for the methylation cycle, |
| 0:32.9 | and a few other things. |
| 0:33.9 | And then you have lucine, which potently activates what's called the mechanistic |
| 0:38.1 | target of rapamycin, which then activates growth hormone, IGF-1, |
| 0:41.6 | or all these other growth pathways. |
| 0:43.2 | When you fast, you're trying to turn on something called the AMP kinase pathway, |
| 0:46.4 | which is a nutrient sensing pathway that senses when you're in low nutrition. |
| 0:50.9 | So you're not in a stage to grow, you're in a stage of repair. |
| 0:54.0 | Once you add protein into your diet, you screw that up. |
| 0:56.8 | So I remember I saw my friend Steve when he came on the show, |
| 0:59.6 | he was talking about the fasting mimicking diet of VoltoLongo. |
| 1:02.6 | What you'll notice that diet is there's 500 calories from fat, |
| 1:06.1 | 500 calories from plants, which could include glucose. |
| 1:10.0 | Low calorie total is zero protein. |
| 1:12.0 | There is very low protein. |
