MEN'S AGING

Aging with strength

Men experience age-related muscle loss starting in their 30s, with a decrease in testosterone levels by about 1% per year after the age of 40.

Proactive lifestyle changes can help counteract these effects and support healthy aging.

Stay strong, live long

Aging doesn’t have to mean slowing down. By focusing on the right areas, men can stay strong, vital, and active throughout life.

Our treatments

Studies indicate that metformin can extend lifespan by improving metabolic efficiency and delaying the onset of metabolic diseases. Metformin activates the AMPK pathway, which is pivotal in regulating metabolism and cellular energy homeostasis.

Talk to your healthcare provider to see if a glucose management plan is right for you. Prescription products require an online consultation with a physician who will determine if a prescription is appropriate. See product page for important safety information.

How does Rapaymcin work?

Rapamycin slows aging by targeting the mTOR pathway, shifting the body’s focus from growth to repair. It promotes cellular recycling, reduces overgrowth linked to disease, and enhances resilience to stress.

Imagine your body as a city, bustling with activity.

Cells are the workers, and mTOR (mechanistic target of rapamycin) is the city planner, deciding where to focus resources – building new structures, cleaning up waste, or repairing old ones.

As we age, mTOR often prioritizes building (cell growth) over maintenance (cellular repair), leading to “clutter” in our bodies that contributes to aging and disease.

This is where Rapamycin comes in.

It acts like a wise advisor to mTOR, convincing it to slow down unnecessary growth projects and focus on clean up and repair instead.

Specifically, Rapamycin:

Activates cellular recycling (autophagy):

Think of autophagy as the city’s waste management system. Damaged parts of cells are broken down and reused, keeping the system efficient and healthy.

Reduces harmful overgrowth:

Overactive mTOR has been linked to diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s. By dialing back excessive growth signals, Rapamycin helps prevent these issues.

Supports stress resilience:

When cells are less focused on growing, they’re better equipped to handle stress, repair damage, and maintain long-term health.
