Question:
If you have found something such as off-label empagliflozin, rapamycin, etc. that improves your life, health, sense of well-being, etc., do you openly tell your friends? Or do you tell them about some of the things you do if they mention that you seem to be looking good and having plenty of energy?
My Answer:
I generally do not. Many years ago, I had an experience where I shared personal information, and it became the subject of gossip that spread from one person to another. Since then, I’ve been much more selective about discussing my health regimen.
If a friend comments that I look healthy or energetic and asks what I’m doing, I usually avoid discussing things like rapamycin, off-label empagliflozin, etc. or where I obtain them. My concern is that many people would see these treatments as unusual or even radical. Rather than researching the evidence for themselves, I think most would mention it to their friends or their physician, often with skepticism or surprise.
For those reasons, I prefer to keep these aspects of my health routine private rather than risk misunderstandings, unnecessary attention, or becoming the subject of conversations that I have no control over.

Exactly… the fountain of youth, or in our case dirt rejuvenation is a Woo! Woo! topic.
My enthusiasm for saving the world is more selective. I will share with the right minded people, otherwise, it is casting pearls to swine.
Easily mocked by someone with no intention of improving. So, I will just outlive them.
That said, I do have a growing following in my day to day life contacts. With the upcoming University of Arizona - Ken Coit 12 million human clinical trial with rapamycin… it’s a much more believable sell.
