I came across a great article on LinkedIn “This is not advice” by David Sinclair and I was instantly hooked…. In this article David discusses the supplements he uses to increase healthy human lifespan, as discussed in his book “Lifespan”. So off course then I decided to get David’s book Lifespan.
Although the book was a bit hard to get into, the story just goes on and on and has a lot of data and history in it… about halfway through the middle there are some really interesting finds about mTOR, Metformin and the most interesting thing that I learnt so far is that:
Rapamycin (commonly used to prevent rejection in organ or bone-marrow transplant patients) was first found on Easter Island and the drug’s name comes from the island’s native name, Rapa Nui.
If you are interested in learning more about this check out the book, or these articles:
