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 cleanup 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.
