Longevity Drugs You Should Consider for Immune Health

Metformin and Rapamycin, two popular longevity drugs, have been shown to support immune health in elderly and high-risk subjects as well as decrease mortality in persons infected with COVID-19. We discuss the science and rationale for prophylactic blood sugar health support in non-diabetics for longevity and immune health.  Support your fasting lifestyle with Berberine HCl & Alpha Lipoic Acid by by MYOXCIENCE Nutrition: https://bit.ly/berberine-biotin-ala-stack Use code Podcast to save Related Podcast: Latest Breakthroughs In the Biology of Aging with Matt Kaeberlein, PhD   Time Stamps: 0:00 intro 0:38 mTOR inhibitors 1:15 Low Side effect profile 2:19 Metformin and influenza 2:50 Metabolic and immune health are one in the same 3:15 Aging and Immune Competence 3:52 Microdosing mTOR inhibitors 4:31 Dog Aging Project 5:07 Aging and Immunity 6:10 T Cells are Essential 6:55 Metformin was initially helpful for Influenza 8:11 Why chronic inflammation is bad 9:39 Pulsing mTOR inhibitors 13:38 Electrolytes and Creatine 14:19 Drugs are not always bad 15:28 Poor blood sugar control is a problem 18:20 Metformin and B Vitamins 19:15 Metformin and C*19   Articles Mentioned: Bischof, E., C Siow, R., Zhavoronkov, A., & Kaeberlein, M.
