This podcast from Tim Ferris is incredibly informative and interesting. He brings on some of the world’s foremost experts in metabolism and life extension and discusses the latest in real science about Metformin and Rapamycin. This podcasts does a spectacular job in updating my layperson understanding of these two drugs.
There is a lot of super interesting topics they touch on, I haven’t finished the podcast yet but heres a sampling:
mTOR, what it is and that it is probably the most important protein in regulating metabolism
Rapamycin may be more beneficial for older people, extending lifespan because it boosts the immune system
Metformin is more upstream and its effects are less targeting of mTOR, whereas Rapamycin clearly targets mTOR(mechanistic target of rapamycin)
Rapamycin mimics fasting
Intermittent supplementation might be better than continuous supplementation and why that might be
