Has anyone else looked into Rapamycin for potentially delaying menopause?
Hey everyone,
I’ve been diving deep into longevity research lately (it’s become a bit of an obsession), and I keep coming across discussions about the drug Rapamycin. I just read an article that asks a really compelling question: Can Rapamycin Delay Menopause? A New Frontier in Women’s Longevity.
It talks about how menopause isn't just about fertility—the drop in estrogen is linked to so many long-term health risks like heart disease and osteoporosis. The idea that we might one day have a medical option to potentially delay that decline for better healthspan is fascinating, if a little sci-fi.
The article mentions an ongoing clinical trial at Columbia University testing low-dose Rapamycin on women 35-45 to see if it can slow ovarian aging. It's early, but the concept of targeting the biology of reproductive aging itself feels like a new frontier.
I’m curious if anyone else in this community has come across this research or has thoughts on it. Is this a realistic hope for the future, or still too far on the fringe? Would love to hear any insights or other resources you’ve found.
