FoundMyFitness | The IGF-1 Trade-Off: Performance vs. Longevity @FoundMyFitness | Uploaded September 2013 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.

Reduced growth hormone and IGF-1 increase lifespan by increasing the expression of genes involved in stress resistance but at an expensive cost when it comes to muscles and brain. Learn all about the trade-off and ways to circumvent it.
