@Perry Staltic Important point from you and @Momma . I think it's important to move away from the obsession with biohacking; that's how I ended up in this forum...I look at my three kids.
Through observation (how i have succeeded with or messed each one up) i see what true health or youthful metabolism is. It does not depend on anything supplemental.
As an adult i think using therapeutic agents judicially is wise. But long term does not bring health. And dependencies are a step backwards.
Of course I wasn’t referring to food. Water. Or air.
Glad to be on the forum. Been following Dr Peat since 2015. I am grateful to be a part of this community and his prolific reach and legacy.
There really has not been much talk of Rapamycin on this forum. When it was brought up in the past, its mTOR inhibition was often talked about as a negative. Many assumed this would lead to muscle wasting and catabolism.
Well I am here to tell you, it is worth looking into. Alone it has given me a level of health I did not think possible when I first joined these forums almost 8 years ago.
I started experimenting with it around March and April of this year. At first, it made me tired, hungry, and gave me some mental boosts. I thought it might be giving me energy but I wasn’t sure. As time went on, I realized it was a massive game changer, but in a very subtle way.
The biggest thing it did for me is I stopped caring about my health. I don’t post much here anymore, not like I used to. I am out enjoying life and doing things. I have my health back, or at least, a good chunk of it, and I attribute a big part of that to Rapamycin.
Maybe things will change one day, and my CFS will come back with a vengeance. But as of now, I lift weights 3 times a week, walk 30k steps per day, sleep great (although sometimes it’s rocky), and don’t journal anymore about what I am taking or how I am sleeping.
I was lucky enough to ask Peat about Rapa earlier this year before he passed. I don’t think he really understood enough about to see how revolutionary it is. This is what he said:

I have taken laxatives and quickened transit time before. Rapa does so much more. Rapa is going to change the world, and change humanity. I am more sure about that then almost anything. I am not an expert on Rapamycin, or a doctor, I am just the messenger to tell you to look into it.
I did a podcast about it where I dive into the nitty gritty for side effects, dosages, and where to get it. If you have tried it, I would love to hear about your experience here. Maybe I am an outlier, but I don’t think so.

Dr Peat recommends taking selenium if you take Vit D and one other supp (I forget) but when I buy selenium and find that almost all selenium supplements sold are Seleniumethionine, organic selenium. How do you get around that? HOw do you avoid methionine?Rapamycin is good because it suppresses mTOR, mammalian/mechanistic target of rapamycin. Sometimes confusing terminology.
A mnemonic: caveat mTOR, beware of Me. Me being methionine.
Thank you for that!It's about quantity. Methionine in less than a gram selenomethionine isn't significant.

Been working with Dr Alan Green for guidance on rapamycin. He has hundreds of patients from around the US. I don't live in easy driving distance from his office, but I only needed to see him once, for first time, and rest of "office visits" are on phone or Zoom.

Im not sure if im understanding what youre saying, but are you able to just give us the contact info of the pharmacy that you use and bypass India Mart?@Peater To add on to what was said in the podcast, if you just want to try it, alldaychemist is good, but if you are going to take it long term, going to India Mart online and contacting a pharmacy over there directly is going to be less expensive. However you have to wire them money, so it is a bit riskier.
