EDIT: I see now. His foundation of anti aging can be summed up in this quote. He wants stress. But not to the point of excess distress. I think there's definitely something to be said about it" "...“Longevity is correlated with having and meeting a healthy level of challenge – not too little and not too much stress.” A later 2009 blog entry Hormesis and age retardation started out by saying “An important approach to retarding aging that I have not discussed explicitly so far is hormesis, challenging cells and body systems by mild stress resulting in them becoming stronger and resistant to aging(ref). The stress can be physical, chemical and even possibly psychological.”"
This true. And the RPF is not the best place to discuss hormesis since Peat is not too fond of the concept.
There is a lot of material available about autophagy, it’s role in aging/anti-aging and why and how it evolved and functions.
It’s the one point that I personally cannot square well with Peats focus on keeping a super energy metabolism. According to conventional knowledge, that would cause faster aging and disease - we have had many topics here why that also is not entirely true. But if we figure that out we are in for the novel prize 10 years in a row.
Anyway it seems more promising to use the autophagy mimicry by some substances to help the scalp on cellular level. Not amount of fasting or excervisd will bring back hair
