Mindsip insights from this episode:
Address cellular hyperfunction to combat aging and chronic diseases
Longevity is not primarily limited by wear and tear but by cellular hyperfunction, an over-activity of metabolic pathways like mTOR that drives chronic diseases.
Understand timeline for clearing bad foods from your body
It can take days to feel the effects of cutting carbs, up to 90 days for grains, and months to years to clear inflammatory seed oils from your body.
Overcome fat cravings by repairing cell membranes with a healthy fat diet
Intense fat cravings may subside after about two years on a healthy fat diet, which is the estimated time it takes to repair your cell membranes.
Repurpose low-dose Cialis to enhance longevity through improved blood flow
Low-dose Cialis is being repurposed as a longevity drug because it improves blood flow to the brain, kidneys, and heart, not just for erectile dysfunction.
Increase salt intake to lower cardiovascular risk and enhance longevity
Contrary to common advice, eating more salt may increase longevity by lowering renin levels, which is a major cardiovascular risk factor.
Choose french fries over cigarettes for better health choices
A single serving of french fries can contain more toxic compounds than a pack of cigarettes, making the cigarettes a potentially less harmful choice.
Recognize fructose as a liver toxin to combat fatty liver disease
Fructose is a major driver of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease as it's metabolized like a toxin in the liver, similar to alcohol.
Sprinkle acarbose on meals to block carbohydrate absorption
The carbohydrate-blocking drug acarbose can be kept in a salt shaker and sprinkled on meals to slow the uptake of carbs.
