Another suggested video, after the one with Dr. Attia, a shorter one and extremely interesting, on the ancestral body sensor of nutrients, the mammalian target of rapamycine, or mTOR.
The message here is clear: eat less proteins, live longer. As simple as that. mTOR is a genetic sensor which is activated by an abundance of proteins. This in ancestral times was the signal to grow and reproduce. Growth, after youth, is at the expense of manteinance & repair. Apparently, the body cannot grow and significantly repair at the same time. Growth, past the age of youth and barring exceptional circumstances like pregnancy, recovery and so on,  is also a mode which favours cancer cells growth and degenerative disease = premature death.
Again, I'm astounded that such doctors give out freely their time to the dissemination fo such priceless knowledge.
