79: Rapamycin: An Anti-aging Medication?

Listen Later

There has been a lot of buzz lately about medications that could potentially make you live longer with a better quality of life and less chronic disease. We've talked about metformin previously on this podcast, but another drug that's getting a lot of mainstream attention right now. That drug is rapamycin. Listen in as we take a deep dive into this medication, how it works, potential anti-aging benefits, and reasons why it hasn't been distributed in the mainstream as an anti aging medication yet.


Episode Highlights:

  • Rapamycin's history and how it functions
  • Its use as an anti cancer and anti rejection medication and immunomodulator
  • Its potential role in aging or anti aging
  • Cautions and concerns and side effects
