I have now got my first prescription for Rapamune (Pfizer) My goal is to setup one N=1 study when I start taking rapamycin. What are the things that can be interesting and/or good to get pre-data points on and also data points during I take it.
Here are some possible data points
HRV tracking
Sleep tracking
Metformin TAME trial biomakers
See link: Table - PMC
Dental records… pocket depth but also dental xrays (get copies of?) - pre and post test, per the discussion around this topic (this study was funded based on the good results of bone growth from oral dosing of rapamycin to mice): New Study Funded: Towards reversing periodontal disease using Rapamycin
One other idea… if you’re close to a medical school they may have an exercise physiology lab there that does low cost testing. I’ve gone to these and you can get all kinds of great tests, from DEXA to VO2max, etc. at low cost.
Thanks for pointing that out. I have a big pallet of blood biomakers and I checked that LDL-C is part of that
The Inbody test is very similiar test as DEXA. It’s not as good but I think tests have shown that the data is around 98% similiar to DEXA. And in that test you get also bone data if I don’t remember it totally wrong.
Interesting with the skin health and hair quality. Is there a good way of testing this?
Last week I paid for a visia scan
It has a cost, but it gives numbers as to facial skin quality which means you can identify a direction of travel. There may be a similar process for other skin, but I would think unless you are using topical molecules skin more generally is likely to respond to the same exogenous molecules in a similar manner.
Its quite a good test because it is easy to tell whether or not you can hear the frequency. The ones which do normal hearing are often about comprehension which can be more subtle.
There are various pages about age ranges. This is one:
From my point of view where the page says “12,000 Hz is hard for anyone over 50 years of age to hear.” I am quite happy in that I can hear 14kHz, but am 62. However, since I have used this test little has changed although sometimes I have heard 15kHz, but not consistently.
