The main way sirtuin is activated is through restricting calories, but it's also done through the heat-shock mechanism as a survival mechanism. When animals are exposed to extremely hot water, sirtuin kicks in to help them survive the shock and live on. Sirtuin production can also be turned on by other things—resveratrol in red wine being a biggie, as well as quercitin in apples and onions, and physical activity.
