“Rapamycin is the most effective anti-aging drug that’s ever been
discovered.” 


“These days, people start eating at 7 in the morning and do
breakfast, lunch and dinner and mid-meal snacks and dessert after
supper and maybe an evening cocktail. So, from 7 in the morning
until 7 at night, that’s 12 hours, another 4 hours to finish
digesting food, that’s 16 hours. Whereas ancestral humans only
had 4 hours of eating and digesting a day.” 


“You can’t be in a go, go, go position all the time or you will
burn yourself out.”


“In animal studies, virtually every single type of age-related
disease improves when the animals take rapamycin.”
