Rapamycin as a Universal Anti-Aging Drug

The side effects of rapamycin. Self-experimentation with the anti-aging drug continues to be strongly discouraged. This is the third and final video in this series. If you missed the previous ones, check out The Enzyme mTOR as an Engine of Aging (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-enzyme-mtor-as-an-engine-of-aging) and Inhibiting mTOR with Rapamycin for Extending Lifespan and Healthspan (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/inhibiting-mtor-with-rapamycin-for-extending-lifespan-and-healthspan). So, how do you suppress mTOR without taking drugs? I have a whole chapter on it in How Not to Age (https://nutritionfacts.org/book/how-not-to-age/). (All proceeds I receive from the book are donated directly to charity.) For a teaser, check out these past videos that touch on it: Prevent Cancer from Going on TOR (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/prevent-cancer-from-going-on-tor/) and Caloric Restriction vs. Animal-Protein Restriction (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/caloric-restriction-vs-animal-protein-restriction/).
