Avoid Excess Protein Intake, Especially Leucine
Lower amino acid availability, especially leucine, isoleucine, and valine, to help downregulate mTOR, which senses protein intake. Leucine-driven growth signaling may be pro-aging.

“And then there's this other system called mTOR, which is sensing how much protein you're eating. ... through lack of amino acids, particularly three of them, leucine, isoleucine, valine, the body will downregulate mTOR.”
