Ben, the dose of Rapamycin for longevity purposes in not 5mg a day, its taken on a WEEKLY or bi weekly basis. most people take 6 to 8 mgs once a week. It’s only prescribed on a daily dose for organ transplant patients.
Yes, sorry I meant 5mg/wk, which is what I am now doing.
Curious question, Ben, do you take Rapamycin continually or do you use on and off periods like 12 weeks on and 6 weeks off. The reason I’m asking is that I would like to add you to this list of longevity leaders who takes Rapamycin.

Hi Ben
This particular podcast (and I have listened to many) feels like you have reached a stunning summit, one of many more to come. Why? because the knowledge you share is potent and falling more and more into the realm of the many,
due to its simplicity, effectiveness and financial attainability.
My personal premise for profound health and unity, is that if its only for the mega wealthy then its not necessarily the way. Surely, the chemistry for a long, healthy life is attainable for everyone, we are a multi diverse
team, playing for the ultimate reality, a reality that is already here, right
In front of us, so says zen.
thanks for the feedback
