In this episode of the Longevity Game Podcast, Michael Ward discusses key pathways that influence longevity and healthspan. He explains the mTOR pathway, AMPK pathway, and the role of sirtuins in cellular health. The conversation emphasizes practical strategies for activating these pathways through diet, exercise, and supplementation, ultimately aiming for a better quality of life rather than just longevity.Takeaways-Longevity is about both lifespan and healthspan.-The mTOR pathway controls cell growth and reproduction.-Strategically activating mTOR can slow down aging.-The AMPK pathway acts as an emergency energy manager.-High-intensity interval training can activate AMPK.-Sirtuins are crucial for cellular repair and longevity.-NAD boosters like NMN can enhance sirtuin activity.-Fasting and plant-based meals can promote longevity.-Quality of life is more important than just living longer.-A longevity blueprint can help individuals optimize their health.Chapters00:00 Understanding Longevity: Lifespan vs Healthspan06:11 Sirtuins: The Longevity Genes and Their ActivationFor Contact, Sponsorship, Press, Support:*Have a question or concern about a topic or particular episode?Hello@TheLongevityGamePodcast.com*Interested in being a guest on the show?
