Does increasing IGF-1 lead to cancer? | Rich Roll 

I lost too much muscle mass as a vegan. I have tried 2x and unfortunately it does not work well for me. For some people it works well but I needed to add seafood and cow protein powder and supplement for months with BCCAS to get my muscle strength back. I kept the very healthy plant based eating habits though. If maybe you burn lots of calories with exercise then maybe you can get enough protein--like Rich Roll.

@@chrisnamaste3572 -- Similar story: I had a personal trainer and saw no gains while vegetarian. After my sessions with the trainer ended I started eating meat again. Not only did I feel way better, but I was actually gaining significant muscle mass by changing nothing in my weight routine. I remember the first time I had red meat after being vegetarian for nearly 8 years my mood improved so dramatically and so instantly that if I didn't know any better I would have thought someone laced my food with drugs. I know there are entire cultures that are vegetarian, so maybe it's a genetic thing. But based on experience, my body and brain chemistry needs meat.

@@ShowMeWhatINeedToKnow were you supplementing with D3,K2,B12, & Omega 3 EPA/DHA? Were you eating enough legumes (lentils/beans/chickpeas/peas/tofu/tempeh) for the protein? The science clearly shows that being vegan or atleast minimizing animal protein intake is much better for longevity and health...

@@chrisnamaste3572 Most seafood contains heavy metals & PCB because the oceans are so polluted. You can just take Omega 3 supplements tested by 3rd parties for heavy metals. As for a protein supplements its better to take a vegan protein supplements (Like sunwarrior), as animal protein is very high in methionine which is correlated with a shortened lifespan.

@@jazeeradxb -- Yes, I ate beans and rice, or tofu, EVERY day -- and my stomach suffered for it (sure I had leaky gut). Beans have obvious drawbacks and digestive issues -- which leads to malabsorption of nutrients. Tofu (unless fermented) is an estrogen mimicker. Excess carb consumption, such as with rice, and beans, eventually leads to diabetes (look at east indian population) -- which is the cause of a myriad of health issues. The fact that you have to supplement with B12, Omega 3s, etc, is proof that veganism is inherently deficient. You're vastly oversimplifying vegan dogma. No; veganism and little to no animal protein is not a superior diet -- please relisten to the interview. Also note that the studies linking meat consumption to cancer don't correct for poor diet and processed meat.

Depends on how much u balance heart health and lean muscle mass I think. Frailty vs heart

​​​​​@@SuperAwesomedude20 the heart doesn't give a fuck about whether that 100 lb is muscle or fat, and senescent cells with Mtor don't care either. these TRT freaks and gym rats chugging down 200+g of protein 24/7 don't live long.... the lean sprinters and marathoners with their conventional diet schedules are the one who do.

For sure but it depends. Are you a professional bodybuilder that increases IGF1 chronically by abusing growth hormone year round? If that's the case then you may reduce healthspan as well as lifespan. I like IGF1-LR3 though. It puts lean muscle tissue on that seems much more permanent than tissue acquired through training alone, or even steroids. The muscle gained from IGF1 needs to be starved off basically and it comes back so so easily. The cognitive benefits/ neurogenesis can't be understated too. I've increased IGF1 by increasing growth hormone in the past, and I've used IGF1-LR3 for a few weeks at a time twice now. In a completely untrained state after months of not training I carry around 50lbs more lean body mass than I used to at the same body fat percentage in my early 20s.

These guys die early compared to the lean sprinters and marathoners that just follow a standard issue diet. there's many cases of them having BAD cancers with famous ones

This. Most Americans eat very low quality red meat and poultry because the good stuff ain’t cheap.

How was it informative? What’s even the name of the studies? I can’t find them when I try. Just a waste of time. Blah blah blah

sleep also increase it

The increase in igf-1 and hormones is very short lived from exercise. It isn't a chronic issue.

​@@derrickbyal8462IGF 1 also goes to other places instead of being left to sit in the blood and organs where it causes all this damage and senescence. (exercise actually lowers MTOR in the organs. too!)

Perhaps their meat is more natural while our meat from farms after pumped full of hormones and feed non traditional foods. Like cows should be grass feed, but mostly are living a corn diet due to a large market on corn syrup in the US.

It's clear that health conscius people are told to reduce saturated fats from their diets nowadays. These people will exercise, Control their calories, drink less, smoke less etc. So it's possible that the red meat has nothing to do with It.

Follow what your oncologist tells you, all those videos are good but they are not everything. Most people tell others to get on keto and they won't get cancer, still you where on keto for a long time and still develop cancer. Its clear that cancer is a lot more complicated then fasting and keto cutting sugar etc. Yes some studies showed that cutting out sugar going low carb fasting does help but always follow the advise of your medical doctor and not a video by someone. Remember that lots of studies contradict all the time. I am 49 just started GH therapy i sleep a lot better, my hair is growing back i am losing fat and i do the IGF1 LR3 1 month a few times per year and i feel great. Good luck

@@truthbetold6496 no one, and I mean no one, says get on keto and you won't get cancer. not one. ever.

How did you make out Candace?

My elderly friend does FMD and meat based keto along with IF, and we sprint and lift without the gym. you need to consider whether chronic MTOR overactivation might be making your muscles sarcopenic and anabolically resistant. give them a break!

Hope you're ok.
