How has taking Rapamycin been working for you? It looks like you started in 2019. What has been your experience with it (pros? cons?)

Re: Using RAPA for AD prevention

Thank you. In my limited research, I thought the "ideal" minimum dose is 6 mg once per week in order for it to be effective. It is good to know that it can be adjusted according to the individual's needs and hopefully still be effective in slowing the aging process (with the goal to preven...

Re: Using RAPA for AD prevention

How has Rapamycin protocol been going for you? I have been reading about possible side effects of raised lipids, triglycerides and glucose issues. It does NOT appear to impact everyone but I am concerned that by introducing one drug, I will need to take another (i.e. diabetes medication, lipid medic...

Re: Stavia's Vegetarian very low fat trial

What is the update on Stavia's LFHC diet? After watching Forks over Knives and knowing people personally who have been on Whole Food Plant Based diets (not adding oil or fats to their food- unless it is in the food naturally), it appears to have helped with weight, blood markers, gut issues, and mem...

Re: Double 4/4 Thread. Unique health pathways?

Hi Floramaria. I did NOT subtract the fiber. I will do that! In addition, two out of the ten cups of vegetables were cooked Brussels sprouts (which came to 22 grams in Cronometer) and one of the other vegetables was a sweet potato which is starchy and probably put me over. The other vegetables (1 cu...
