This podcast from Dr. Peter Attia is a great resource. He is discussing rapamycin as with two of the leading authorities on the molecule. Dr. David Sabatini discovered how rapamycin works to slow aging and delay chronic illness by inhibiting the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR). He is the leading authority on the basic science of mTOR and rapamycin.
Suddenly talk of rapamycin is everywhere. I look forward to your thoughts. There is a talk on YouTube comparing and contrasting rapamycin to metformin.
Rapamycin is placed in heart artery stents and it slowly leaks out to inhibit scar formation and inflammation that can block the artery again. It plays a key role in the development of chronic disease and more rapid aging. Metformin does the same thing. We know the human dose and have been using it in people with diabetes for 50 years. It is only $4 a month without insurance at Walmart.
