I’m “only” 34, and people usually think I’m younger, so it’s kind of weird that rapamycin affects me so much. I think my health was pretty good when I started rapa (although I was still vulnerable to stressful events) and I lead a generally relaxed lifestyle. I did use to lift weights exhaustively and eat tons of leucine-rich protein powder, so maybe that ramped up my mtor.Yes, exactly. It’s definitely hard to put into words but so many things just feel like they are working correctly again. May I ask your age @Blaine?
I never thought I’d be able to pull off working 12 hour shifts again (ideally I wouldn’t) but the point is that I can do it in my 50’s! My grandmother and great grandmother both died at age 39 and although my mom made it to 69 she had very poor health from her mid 30’s until the end. That’s a big part of what has driven me to really pay attention to my health.
My family situation is a bit odd, but from what I know my grandparents lived somewhat longer than average. I do have an older family member who I want to recommend rapamycin to, but I’m still considering how to approach the subject.
I’m sorry you have to work 12-hour shifts, but it’s also very encouraging that you’re able to pull it off. I would love to be able to crank out long periods of work without running myself into the ground.
Edit: I should mention I do have some forehead wrinkles and freckles on my arms, maybe from the considerable sun exposure I get, so it’s not like I’m completely age-free or anything.
