This One Protein Nutrient Might Be The Key To Longevity! Dr. Gundry Reviews Exciting New Study
An exciting new study out of USC’s Longevity Institute just revealed that almost everything we’ve thought about protein might be wrong. Dr. Gundry has been sitting with a strange contradiction for years. The longest-lived people on earth eat very little animal protein, yet those same populations also have surprisingly high rates of frailty. His friend Dr. Valter Longo just published research in the journal Cell Metabolism that finally explains why, and the answer isn’t about protein at all. It’s about something far more specific, and far more overlooked.
Dr. Gundry walks through exactly what the study found, why the effect only shows up within an extremely narrow window, and why getting it wrong in either direction wipes out the benefit completely. He also connects it to a mechanism he’s been talking about with patients for over 20 years, why the common advice to eat more protein after 60 might be aimed at the wrong target entirely, and a surprising finding involving your gut that behaves almost identically to a certain injectable weight loss drug.
Dr. Gundry doesn’t hold back on where he agrees with Dr. Longo’s research either, and where he thinks something even bigger is being missed.
