mTOR Suppression Cycling

Meaning

A structured clinical strategy involving alternating periods of intentional inhibition and subsequent activation of the mechanistic Target of Rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway. mTOR is a central cellular growth and anabolism regulator, and its periodic suppression is utilized to promote cellular cleanup, repair, and stress resistance. This cycling is a key component of longevity protocols, aiming to balance the anabolic drive of growth with the catabolic necessity of cellular maintenance. The deliberate rhythm ensures that the body benefits from both growth signals and essential autophagic processes.
