0:00 Intro
0:20 IGF-1 is insulin-like growth factor 1.\xa0
0:45 The paper states that low protein intake is associated with a major reduction in IGF1, cancer and overall mortality in ages 65 and younger.\xa0
1:43 The data set for the study is small, making relative risk appear to be worse.
2:20 Low levels of IGF-1 are as bad as having chronically elevated levels of IGF-1.\xa0
3:00 IGF-1 increases as much as 20-fold during exercise.\xa0
8:15 IGF-1 is increases are triggered by the brain.\xa0
8:45 If testing IGF-1, you may also want to test the relationship with binding protein.\xa0
10:50 Low levels of IGF-1 correlate with chronic disease.\xa0
12:30 IGF-1 is neuroprotective, through repair processes and preventing chronic neuroinflammatory processes.\xa0
12:56 IGF-1 mediates the expression and release of the protective molecule, nitric oxide. \xa0
\xa014:30 Your protein intake should match your activity levels.\xa0
15:20 Make exercise the foundation of your life.
