Peter welcomes guests David Sabatini & Matt Kaeberlein, two world-leading experts on rapamycin & mTOR. David & Matt begin by telling the fascinating story of the discovery of rapamycin & its brief history as a pharmacological agent in humans. They then unravel the function of mTOR, a central regulator of numerous biological processes, & they discuss the pathways through which rapamycin exerts its potential benefits on lifespan. They touch upon initial studies that suggested rapamycin may have geroprotective effects & the ongoing research that continues to shed light on this unique molecule. Furthermore, they discuss the elusive details surrounding the frequency & dosing of rapamycin use in humans, & Peter emphasizes his reservations about indiscriminately prescribing rapamycin as a longevity drug for patients.

Much respect to Dr Attia for personally donating and calling on your friends to contribute to the Dog Aging Project's rapamycin study.

[@susymay7831]

Does Peter Atila take rapamycin?

[@SquatFull]

Rapamycin is a potent and selective inhibitor of the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) protein kinase, which acts as a central integrator of nutrient signaling pathways. mTor is a key regulator in maintaining skeletal muscle mass. Rapamycin is an inhibitor of mTOR and mTOR is critical to signaling muscle protein synthesis. Why would rapamycin be used as an anti-aging agent that inhibits muscle protein synthesis? Would resistance muscle training to maintain muscle mass be impaired and cause sarcopenis muscle atrophy?

[@esgee3829]

so disappointed to see you have given a platform to sabatini. he does not deserve a platform. his ethical transgressions are now on you too.

[@raiderkeno]

Peter really reinforced something that I always believed in. I have been exercising religiously since I was a teenager, all strength training and cardio. I am 50 now. I have made a lot of bad choices along the way but the one thing that I never did, was stop training. It made me really excited about all the other pieces of the puzzle. I’m working hard on zone 2 training and loving the progress. 💪🏼

[@zack_120]

Good exercises work even starting in 60s tho start earlier may have certain degree of additional benefits.

[@user-sx4kv3hx9d]

Thank you for the podcast Dr Attia. You are clearly the most ethical Dr on the internet, nowadays when most Doctors online are trying to sell you something. Your position on that matter was very clear, you don't feel comfortable to promote or sell anything as a doctor even if you believe in that product, for the simple reason that it will interfere with your ethical values as a Dr. You took a noble step giving up a lot $$ where the majority of doctors including your colleagues fail. This indicates your ethics as a doctor but first and foremost as person. Respect for that!

[@MichaelMerritt]

This comment is hilarious if you know how much it costs to be one of his patients (100k+), have him speak at a conference (200k+) or even to take one of his pre-recorded classes (early medical is $2500). He drives race cars just as a fun hobby. Altruism and nobility to give up cash was not a choice he made except for maybe for a transitional period of his life. Dude is loaded beyond anyone's dreams and doesn't need to sell any products but himself. But he's worked his ass off for it and blazed a new trail and offers much of his content for free and for that we thank him.

65 yr old man here, no major medical problems. I've been taking Rapamycin for almost a year, 1mg a week. I tried 2 mg a wk but I felt it was "too much" for my body. I'm getting it online but I think I need to get it from my doctor, but he won't "just prescribe it." Feeling pretty good with more energy, for about 3 days, no major side effects except minor mouth sores again for about 3 days. I do hydrogen peroxide with my tooth brushing and that helps. Im also interested in some kind of clinical study. Yes, expensive $12.USD a pill online. Great discussion.😮

[@shineon7641]

Hello and Thank you Doctors. Thus far I cannot get anyone in the Medical field to even acknowledge or discuss Rapamycin with me. It is especially important to me because I am now 68 years old and have been Diagnosed with "Fronto Temperal Dementia" as well. So it is probably readily evident as to why greater knowledge of this Rapamycin would be of import to me. So, I basically have been given an "Expiration Date" of sorts. Whenever I speak to my Neurologist, he pats me on the head & sends me home to... Die?! I want to be much more proactive than that and it appears that this may actually be a promising road to travel, if not for myself, perhaps to help in this research, maybe helping pave the way for others in the future? Thank you for sharing this with us all. God is putting little Gold Stars in your books, up there. (lol) Keep Smiling... Cheers...

My son has been on it (Sirolimus) for 6 years for a genetic immune deficiency thanks to the NIH and it has changed his life! He is now in law school and doing so well - where before his condition was steadily declining and he had lung disease on top of everything else. It has completely reversed his lung disease and put his disease into a remission of sorts. Miracle drug!

What a fascinating podcast as I've been very interested in learning more about Rapamycin. I really need some slides though to make it easier for me to understand the science. 😁

[@bob-ss4wx]

one of your best podcast ever! Thank you.

[@blunoz2907]

Great episode, thanks. I noted the comment about enteric coated tablets and wondered how the dosage for dogs was being done as these are probably half a tablet. I have been giving 1/4 tablet (0.5mg) to each of my cats once per week and I'm wondering if that is ineffective due to Rapamycin being broken down in the stomach as mentioned around 2:48. Anecdotally we have noticed a huge difference in both cats who are nearing 10 years old - they definitely have more energy and are much more playful so perhaps the effect on mood is a real thing!

[@JohnSlack89]

I didn't hear an explicit discussion around the effect of the adaptive immune system vs. the innate immune system. I loved the suggestion to frame the question more broadly: "how is rapamycin improving the immune system?" rather than specifically around methylation. Could it have something to do with how the adaptive immune system works from the top down? (like the thymus being affected?) that'd also be supported by a reduction in inflammation. As the adaptive immune system declines, the innate immune system would have to ramp up, and it just blasts things more indiscriminately with inflammation, right? Could it be that rapamycin modulate adaptive vs innate immune function?

[@5kribbles]

Why doesn't Attia just start crowd funding, or go to his Silicone valley friends? He keeps saying how interesting and important and relatively cheap these studies are. He has a huge platform and is himself a millionaire. DO SOMETHING!

[@Geezerelli]

And he and Andrew Huberman said they are politically correct on one KZbin dialogue so Stanford is quite the woke environment except for the Hoover Institution!😂. Dr Attia changed his mind about Metformin but not Ozempic yet.

[@charlesamrhein1292]

Hi Folks, about rapamycin, John Krystal (one of the original Ketamine New Haven group and a co-author on the rapa/ket study) said that because Ketamine activates mTOR, they expected a block of the antidepressant effect. However the result was the opposite of what theoretical knowledge would predict, a potentiated antidepressant effect, and a more enduring one (up to two weeks). So your questions about mechanism are spot on, but this is a great example of why theoretical knowledge of mechanisms does not mean you can predict outcomes, this remains an empirical question. Oh, also, the rapa was administered two hours before the ketamine infusion (two hours to peak blood levels was the thought), and has a much longer half-life, so timing is also an open question requiring empirical answers. So maybe rapa could be administered a day or two before the ketamine administration, or get different outcomes with how this is timed, or maybe even block the rapamycin effects. Very interesting. There is a youtube podcast where Tim Ferriss interviews Krystal about this study.

[@thecoolguy3498]

Can you put this into really, really simple layman’s terms for me? What is the exact relation between Ket/Rapa? Are you saying the Rapamycin can block the effects of Ket? Thanks!

[@rapamycinnews]

Fantastic discussion! Should be required listening for anyone interested in longevity using rapamycin, or who is already taking rapamycin for longevity.

[@belindaratcliffe6673]

I have been thinking about taking this to help calm down my immune system, I might have RA and am doing well to control whatever the hell is going on by diet, and NMN & resveratrol have helped a lot. I hope that it will just reset or calm down my immune system enough that it causes it to go into remission. The pain in my joints as soon as I eat beef or sugary or refined. I love beef! I am South African and man I miss biltong a lot! If this stuff could help me get to a point where I can eat a tiny bit of bilton, I would be VERY happy! The reason I want to try rapamycin is because I have been given prednisone once before and I had a very bad reaction to it and I had 2 years of heartburn non-stop. It made me feel like I was going to die and so I do not want to take it ever again. If all goes well or even if it fails, I will come back and let you know what my experience is.

[@anthroscope8657]

Tremendous work. Crucial question: what is the implication of what David is saying about R's side effects (ulceration-sores/epithelium) when it comes to autoimmune disease of the GI tract (IBD). It seems that Rapamycin may be effecting 2 opposite directions re: GI autoimmunity. 1.(beneficial) modulating the immune system. 2 causing epithelial breakdown and some ulceration? Any sense of the effect of this on IBD and what prevails?

[@karlpk3907]

Kudos to Peter for having the "cancelled" David Sabatini on his podcast, who in my view is one of the great scientists on the planet, and who should eventually win a Nobel prize, but probably won't. for all the obvious and tiresome reasons.

[@BigDees19]

Why was he cancelled ?

[@karlpk3907]

@@BigDees19 My understanding is that while he was at the Whitehead Institute at MIT, and separated from his wife, he started a relationship with a woman who came to the Institute who was not a direct report but someone who he had "career influence over." The relationship started before she came to Whitehead. The woman eventually brought charges of sexual harassment and Sabatini was obviously going to be kicked out of MIT, so he resigned. Arguably he did violate MIT rules, in that he had a relationship with a fellow MIT citizen. Sabatini was going to move to NYU, but they got cold feet and didn't hire him, sunk ultimately by student protests. While the guy has a couple of start up companies, and apparently some modest funding from Bill Ackman, I think that is it for now. This is the environment we live in. Did he make a policy mistake? Pretty clear he did. Did he engage in harassment? Unclear. In the end, though, none of the actors in this drama will very likely EVER be the significant scientific figure Sabatini is. I daresay this woman got her scalp, and the world of science will no doubt be worse off for it. The cynic in me say brilliance takes a back seat to politically correct woke-ness in today's modern "civilization."

Considering people have water fasted for 30 days and survived you'd probably just feel like sh*t as your body does what it can with your existing stored nutrients until it runs out of the specific nutrients you need and then your systems start malfunctioning.

My observational ‘study’ indicates that rapamycin creates long-windedness and reiterations. Please provide some synthetic comments.

Not a word on prolonged fasting with regards to mTor?

[@jobyyboj]

The marmoset trial published no effect on epigenome. "DNA methylation age analysis of rapamycin in common marmosets".

could the mouth (GI?) sores be remediated by Ozone tx?

[@jameswill175]

Just cut back the dose

[@westfield90]

Sadly I don’t think the required clinical trials will ever take place in our nation since there just isn’t enough of an incentive for anyone to fund them. Hopefully some group in China, India or Japan can conduct the trial and we can finally see if it helps humans

[@bob-ss4wx]

has anyone done a is there any studies of transplant people who are taking daily and larger doses of rapamycin?

[@VladdyDaddy369]

I'm interested in that as well. I take Everolimus 2.25 mg twice per day as an immunosuppressant for organ transplant rejection prevention.... So much I would like to know regarding lipids, strength training etc

[@Coindom65]

So just how long do the animals on Easter Island live are they out living other comparable animals from other parts of the world?

[@user-on5iy1ee3u]

New member and subscriber here. Great topic but too little in the clinical benefits, known or speculated, and too much on the details of lab data on the details of mechanism.

[@bchik9856]

The benefits are well known, 15% to 30% lifespan improvement in dozens of mammal/rodent studies.

MTOR is a fool's errand.

[@hermes537]

trying really hard to keep up with this lengthy video. I wish youtube invented a miniTube so that we could watch shorter versions of videos

[@MichaelMerritt]

Timestamps are your friend my friend. Deep dives are what makes these interviews a beautiful thing, they're doing such a great job providing valuable information to so many people for free without dumbing it down.

[@madison1446]

Fear not, KZbin has shorts to counter TikTok ... AND .... Peter will also chunk this out to some more modest length videos!
