In this video, I introduce the AMPK-mTOR Method, an evidence-informed blueprint designed to help adults navigate the "marginal decade" with strength and durability. I explain the biological necessity of alternating between the AMPK pathway—the repair mode characterized by autophagy and metabolic resilience—and the mTOR pathway, which focuses on muscle protein synthesis and bone density.

In this deep-dive discussion of my book, Strongevity, we challenge the common intuition that the body is like a car that simply wears out over time. Instead, I propose that aging is a signaling problem. Your cells aren't broken; they are receiving muddled, contradictory "memos" from a modern lifestyle that lacks the evolutionary cycles of feast and famine, exertion and rest.

The video demonstrates that one cannot thrive without the other: great skills that go unnoticed remain stagnant, while promotion without substance quickly damages credibility.

For decades, the dominant advice for weight control and health has been simple: eat less and move more. For younger adults, this approach sometimes works - at least for a while. But after age sixty, many people discover a frustrating truth…
