Show Notes:

05:05 Rapamycin stops this deterioration and the development of dementia. 09:47 Pharmaceuticals do not treat end-stage disease. 11:15 Rapamycin is anti-mTOR. mTOR is involved in all age-related diseases. 19:35 Evolution’s way to promote new gene variations is to eliminate those with old variations with a short lifespan. 24:40 Ageing is a programed genetic timebomb. 30:50 Slowing mTOR with rapamycin slows ageing. 37:40 Transplant patients do not get the age/health benefits because the dosing of rapamycin is too high. 40:18 Once a week dosing gives a high level at the beginning of the week to knock out mTOR1 and it was low enough at the end of the week to not interfere with mTOR2. 41:15 Reducing mTOR1 reduces the activity of the innate immune system. 42:45 Decreasing the innate immune system is good for stopping chronic inflammation and age-related diseases. 48:30 A typical dose is 6 mg. It is less for a smaller healthy person. 50:17 Rapamycin is good for sports performance because it is good for cardiac performance. 54:10 Rapamycin helps maintain strength and quality of muscles. 55:30 Bodybuilders do not benefit from rapamycin.
