Imagine being in the middle of freakin nowhere - cold, harsh wilderness Would you be able to survive? Will you die? Or can you become a stronger version of yourself? That's what every life form on this planet has had to deal with - early life on Earth was hazardous and it posed some severe adaptation mechanisms on all that was to survive. Charles Darwin said in On the Origin of the Species: It is not the strongest or the most intelligent of the species that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change. That’s what we’ll be talking about in today’s Body Mind Empowerment podcast. It's a rebroadcast of episode #8 published last year. I'm putting it out here again to share this idea with new listeners. I’m your host Siim Land and the topics I’m going to cover right now include physical as well as psychological adaptation in the form of hormesis.  The biological phenomenon to this is called ’HORMESIS’, which comes from the Greek word hórmēsis and it means ‘rapid motion, eagerness’ or ‘to set in motion.' Timestamps:- How does hormesis work - 02:30- Examples of hormesis - 04:29- Foods that trigger hormesis - 09:50- Hormesis and anti-aging - 13:40- How much stress is too much - 17:15- Hormesis and Antifragility - 24:30 And Much More...

Life consists of anabolic and catabolic processes that are governed through many fuel sensors inside your body. The main pathways that direct anabolism and catabolism are mTOR, autophagy, and AMPK. This is my speech about balancing anabolism and catabolism with mTOR and autophagy at the Biohacker Summit Tallinn 2018.  Here are the links to the podcast on all platforms Link to the Audio Podcast on iTunes and Stitcher Link to the podcast on Spotify Link to the podcast on CastBox Download mp3      If you want to support this podcast, then I'd greatly appreciate if you could join my Patreon community.

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.
