Is it safe to start Rapamycin in my early 20s?

#1

Hi everyone,

I’m 22 years old and I’ve been reading a lot about rapamycin as a longevity drug. I’m wondering whether it would be appropriate for someone my age to start taking it.

I’d also love to hear what other anti-aging or longevity strategies you’d recommend for someone in their early 20s — things I can start doing now while I’m young.

Any advice or personal experience would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

If you do take it take it really infrequently (but I am a bit of a stuck record on that).

In my opinion 22 is too young. Your brain is still growing and developing until at least age 25. You are in no hurry. I’d wait until at least age 28 to 30 (perhaps 28 if you are female - but monitor the research coming out of Columbia University on this, as it may extend fertility by 20%). See: Rapamycin for Fertility and Menopause; Clinical Results

At your age, focus on health, exercise (cardio and strength), and basic good nutrition.
