Hi Jason, No it wasn’t me. Baumgartner isn’t exactly common but there are more around than I thought (Kevin Costner’s Ex for example-Christine Baumgartner). I grew up in North Carolina, moved to Oregon and now live in Mexico.
About mental sharpness, I’m 70 and really didn’t really notice much change/decline until my early 60s and even then it wasn’t dramatic. But when I started experimenting with supplements and suddenly all that sharpness comes back, it’s very noticeable, and you’re going…“Yeah, that’s what I’m talking about…give me more of that!” Unfortunately, I haven’t honed in on exactly what did it because, like a lot of us, I rotate around among a bunch of different supplements. My guess at the moment-and I know it won’t be popular here-is liposomal NMN in combination with something else I’m taking. I went off for 3 months and then started again about a month ago and yes I could feel the difference. I know we’re all different and we’re all looking for that special key that fits your own personal lock, that’s why I’m interested in testing and being detailed so I can streamline my protocol down to the bare essentials that keep me functioning at my maximum potential.

One of the very clear effects of the study for me was a 33% reduction in visceral fat, as shown by the DXA scans done during the study.

I do plan on doing a Dexa scan (too bad they’re so expensive) pre and post starting Rapamycin. I’m 6ft and 172 lbs so BMI of 23.3. Not really expecting Rapamycin to change that but changes in visceral fat aren’t visible are they? And I guess the bone density measures should be valuable.

BTW, back to fertility on Rapa, my N-of-1 definitely shows great improvements towards youthful cycles after year+ of 6mg/wk.

Rapamycin has definitely improved my sleep patterns and I feel much more fresh and alert during the day!

Overall better sleep and mood in general!

Now on Rapamycin for many months. I have noticed some beneficial effects. One is that my Tinnitus seems to have greatly reduced. Still occasional but much less pronounced.

But the the one that has me most intrigued is that I feel a very pleasant tingling sensation that I believe is called “frisson” much more often. It is something I have not felt regularly for years and it has returned. That indicates some interesting things are going on with my neurological condition.

I just noticed two people say it helped their tinnitus. Is this a known benefit, to the best of your knowledge? If so, I’m going to discuss this with my brother who has it. Ty

Sorry, my experience from taking rapamycin for 2 1/2 years is it has done nothing for my tinnitus. However, results may vary. IMO: It is a nice gesture if you can get a family member to take rapamycin.

I think Rapa helped but I could not say for sure.

Now that I have been taking this for over 7 months, I can also say that my immune system seems a lot stronger. Not sick once during the winter, which is rare. And recently, everyone in my house got sick from something…but it was very minor for me. I had one day of mild symptoms and done, everyone else took many days to beat it.

Excellent to hear! Hey, on that note, have people discussed feeling they are less likely to get covid? (Anecdotally of course)…

Less likely to get it… and like me if you do get it… was a stuffy nose for 3 days… then negative test and done. Quickest and hardly noticable illness.

I’ve gotten COVID twice since starting Rapamycin. Both times were moderately severe. First was worst than second. I took PAXLOVID for both. I do believe COVID can be very damaging to your body.

Interesting. I’ve just realized i may be benefitting from this too. I’ve been taking rapa (very sporadically) for about 15 months. And this winter has come and gone with no urtis. Whereas my kids and wife have had multiple coughs and colds.

Same here. I now have virtually no allergies. I’m not sure when this happened because I live in Australia and my allergies are particularly bad in the UK. Grass pollens and Horse Chestnut trees are the worst - go figure. I started Rapa in November 2021 and visited the UK April 2022. This is when I realised - unexpectedly - that my allergies had all but gone. It was a complete and wonderful surprise.

I am inspired by the improvements some have had in tinnitus and allergies. Those have been my two of my most annoying health problems.
