How does one find a doctor willing to prescribe these kinds of drugs for anti aging?

You can order these drugs in bulk from chemical vendors for research purposes (i.e. non-human use). Chemscene, to name just one, sells Rapamacyn at 1440 USD for 5g.

EDIT: I clearly don't recommend you buying this and taking it by the way. You're never quite sure about the purity nor about how to dose this effectively as a layperson without access to a lab. It's also possibly completely illegal, depending on your local laws.

Yeah. By the time you're looking at stuff in the milligram range it becomes quite problematic to ensure consistent doses. I would be confident that I could get an *average* of 1mg/day but I would not be confident I could ensure every day was in .9mg to 1.1mg.
I'm not taking Rapamycin due to costs and immune system concerns, but when researching this niche (specifically, I'm interested in senolytics) I have found this forum with this list of doctors https://age-reversal.net/physician-directory/

Maybe it could help you.

Fisetin is compelling.
Very helpful. Thank you
Pool your money with others and order in bulk from Asian or Sourh American suppliers. No questions asked. There are specific subreddits/forums for this kind of stuff.
Could you point me to some of those subreddits/forums? A quick search didn't yield anything but I'm probably not familiar with the specific terminology they would use.
The easiest way by safely and strongly inhibit mTOR is to simply stop eating for a while. Most people don't need the drug.
you've stated this multiple times in this thread, yet it's ambiguous at most.

if you mean fasting, say that. "stop eating for a while" to most people would be skipping lunch.

your drive by non-chalant "stop eating" / "stop eating nutrients" is just not helpful commenting the way you are
