So, from 7 in the morning until 7 at night, that’s 12 hours, another 4 hours to finish digesting food, that’s 16 hours. Whereas ancestral humans only had 4 hours of eating and digesting a day.” “You can’t be in a go, go, go position all the time or you will burn yourself out.”“In animal studies, virtually every single type of age-related disease improves when the animals take rapamycin.” Listen to the SuperAge podcast wherever you get your pods. Connect with Ross Pelton:WebsiteBookArticles (1, 2, 3)
