Inhibiting mTOR with Rapamycin for Extending Lifespan and Healthspan

Rapamycin appears to be a universal anti-aging drug, extending the lifespan of all animals tested to date; it’s the only known drug to do so. This is the second video in a three-part series. If you missed the first one, check out The Enzyme mTOR as an Engine of Aging (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-enzyme-mtor-as-an-engine-of-aging), and stay tuned for Is Rapamycin a Universal Anti-Aging Drug? (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-rapamycin-a-universal-anti-aging-drug). For more on longevity, see: • Is Longevity Genetic?
