The Enzyme mTOR as an Engine of Aging

Inhibiting mTOR, the “master determinant of lifespan,” is considered the best validated aging regulator. So, how do you slow it down? This is the first video in a three-part series, so stay tuned for Inhibiting mTOR with Rapamycin for Extending Lifespan and Healthspan (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/inhibiting-mtor-with-rapamycin-for-extending-lifespan-and-healthspan) and Is Rapamycin a Universal Anti-Aging Drug? (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-rapamycin-a-universal-anti-aging-drug).
