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: Website (https://www.naturalpharmacist.net/) Book (https://www.amazon.com/Rapamycin-mTOR-Autophagy-Treating-Syndrome/dp/1607660156) Articles (1 (https://www.lifeextension.com/magazine/2022/6/rapamycin) , 2 (https://www.townsendletter.com/article/466-anti-aging-and-rapamycin/) , 3 (http://imjournal.com/oa/pdf/Pelton.pdf) )
