Mindsip insights from this episode:
Investigate 6mg weekly Rapamycin for muscle performance in older adults
A clinical trial is exploring the effects of a 6-milligram weekly dose of Rapamycin combined with at-home exercise on muscle performance in older adults.
Implement weekly Rapamycin to activate autophagy
Using Rapamycin just once a week could switch off mTOR, allowing muscles a chance to clear out old, damaged proteins through the process of autophagy.
Manage mTOR activation to enhance muscle health with age
As we age, our muscles seem to overactivate the mTOR enzyme, which unfortunately prevents the clearance of old, damaged components rather than building new strength.
Block mTOR with rapamycin to extend lifespan by 20%
By blocking the mTOR enzyme, Rapamycin has been shown to reliably extend the lifespan of both male and female mice by over 20%.
Take mTOR blockers without fear of increased cold risk
Two studies on healthy people found that taking mTOR blockers did not increase their chances of catching a common cold.
