Who it's for
Rapamycin is ideal for adults ages 35+ who are interested in proactive, research-backed ways to support long-term health and aging.
Why Rapamycin?
Rapamycin is often prescribed to support long-term health by influencing biological processes linked to aging at the cellular level.

Taking Rapamycin
How it works
Rapamycin works by supporting all stages of the cellular life cycle. Early on, it slows a key pathway in your body called mTOR, which helps regulate how cells grow and divide. It also enhances how cells respond to stress and repair themselves, and when it comes time, rapamycin promotes autophagy, which is the process through which the body cleans out old or damaged cells. By influencing these natural processes, rapamycin may support healthier aging, immune balance, and overall resilience.
What to expect
Rapamycin is often prescribed in low, intermittent dosing schedules, not daily use. Effects are gradual rather than immediate, as the medication works at the cellular level over time. Individual response may vary. Your provider will guide dosing, monitor labs when appropriate, and adjust treatment based on your response and goals.
Potential side effects
The most common side effects are usually mild and temporary, including mild mouth sores, gastrointestinal discomfort, headache, fatigue, or changes in cholesterol levels. Your provider will review your health history and monitor results to help minimize potential risks and ensure the treatment is safe and effective for you.

Blood work
Provide lab results to establish your baseline levels.
Doctor review
A licensed provider will determine if the treatment is the right fit for you.
Free standard shipping
Your treatment will ship quickly and discreetly to your door at no cost.
Providing bloodwork
Lab work is required before starting treatment, again at the 3-month mark, and once a year thereafter. These check-ins ensure the medication is working as intended and give your provider the information needed to adjust your treatment for optimal results.
You can use previous bloodwork if they meet the minimum requirements, or obtain new results at your chosen lab. We recommend LabCorp On Demand or Quest Diagnostics.
Why in-person labs?
• Choose any clinic or lab – Go wherever is convenient for you; you're not limited to a specific provider.
• No need to collect samples yourself – Skip the hassle of at-home kits or figuring out how to draw your own blood.
• Insurance may help cover the cost – Many labs accept insurance, which can lower your out-of-pocket expenses.
• Faster turnaround time – Since samples don't need to be shipped back and forth, results often come in sooner.
Helpful, but not required: GFR, fasting blood glucose, A1c, CRP, testosterone (men), estradiol, magnesium, potassium, DEXA Scan
You'll be asked to submit your bloodwork during your intake, but if you don't have them yet, you'll have 10 days to upload them in your patient portal. If we don't receive them within that window, your prescription request will be cancelled. You'll also use the portal to upload future results for follow-up visits.
