I think rapamycin has some study supporting it

The data on rapamycin (and rapalogs in general) is mixed. There is no reliable evidence that it slows down biological aging in humans. Even if it does have some benefits we don't clearly understand the optimal dosing and schedule.

If only some kind of machine could help us figure that out! /s

200+ references in this journal article: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6814615/

Rapamycin to me is the bat shit crazy aspect of this.

There is no research on taking a powerful immunosuppressant pharmaceutical for the next 40 years for "longevity".

Not to mention testosterone. At least testosterone will make you feel great while you actually shorten your life in the name of longevity.
