#148 Indistractible: How to Control Your Attention and Choose Your Life with Nir Eyal

You must've heard that eating protein, meat, and dairy gives you heart disease and gives you cancer.  Does elevating IGF-1 and mTOR accelerate aging or do low levels of IGF-1 actually make you more prone to neurodegeneration and shorter life?  Is it better to bulk up fast with carbs or do it slowly on keto? Does bulletproof coffee stop autophagy? How many carbs to eat on the targeted ketogenic diet? These are some of the few questions of this Body Mind Empowerment podcast. I’m your host Siim Land and we’re gonna have another Q & A episode. This time I decided to focus primarily on these anabolic pathways like mTOR or mammalian target of rapamycin and how it affects your longevity. mTOR and IGF-1 make you anabolic and grow but for longevity, you want to know how to balance it with things like autophagy and AMPK. So, most of the questions will be about these topics. Let’s get to it. Timestamps: Are IGF-1 and mTOR Bad for You 02:06 Autophagy and mTOR Explained 12:53 Does Bulletproof Coffee Stop Autophagy 29:30 Bulking on Carbs VS Bulking on Keto 37:00 How Many Carbs on Targeted Ketogenic Diet 44:14 What is Carb Backloading 48:17 And Much More...

Did you know that the ketogenic diet was originally used to treat epilepsy in children? Being in ketosis provides an alternate fuel source to the brain in the form of ketones, which help the person maintain stable energy and experience fewer seizures. Epileptic patients who've gone keto have actually managed to cure themselves of the disease completely after being on the diet for a while. What's more, they can then return to a different way of eating without getting remissions. That's quite crazy and magnificent! Welcome to the Body Mind Empowerment Podcast I’m your host Siim Land and today our guest is Michel Lundell. Michel is the founder and CEO of Ketonix, which is the leading ketone breath analyzing device in the world. He’s treating his own epilepsy with the ketogenic diet and is innovating the science of ketosis by helping people understand this mysterious metabolic state a lot better.  Timestamps: Why Michel Decided to Treat His Epilepsy with Keto 03:05 Different Ways of Measuring Ketosis 08:03 Difference Between Blood Ketones and Breath Ketones 19:25 What Michel is Eating for His Epilepsy 22:14 Why Does Ketosis Help with Epilepsy 31:42 How to Interpret Your Ketone Readings 36:50 And Much More...
