Quick takeaways

  • Rapamycin and caloric restriction have shown potential to increase lifespan and reverse some age-related declines, but their effects may vary.
  • There is no one-size-fits-all approach to nutrition and anti-aging interventions, considering individual genetic backgrounds and responses.

Rapamycin and Caloric Restriction: Effective Ways to Increase Lifespan

The podcast episode explores the effectiveness of rapamycin and caloric restriction in increasing lifespan. Rapamycin, an mTOR inhibitor, has been shown in many studies to increase lifespan in various organisms. Caloric restriction, on the other hand, restricts caloric intake without malnutrition and has been the most robust intervention to increase lifespan in laboratory animals. While rapamycin has shown promising results in mice and other organisms, it is important to note that its effects may vary depending on genetic backgrounds and age of the subject. Both rapamycin and caloric restriction have the potential to reverse some functional declines associated with aging, but they are not a means to reverse biological aging entirely. Furthermore, there is ongoing research to understand the underlying biology of aging and its complexity. The ultimate goal is to find interventions that optimize health span and increase lifespan, but it is important to consider individual variations and potential risks associated with these interventions.
