Rapamycin, Curcumin and Human trials for aging - Dr Brad Stanfield

In this video I had the great pleasure of speaking with Dr Brad Stanfield, Medical Doctor trained in New Zealand and KZreadr, discussing the latest research surrounding aging and health. Here we discuss all the details regarding Brad's recently announced Rapamycin human trial as well as other recent interests including Curcumin, senolytics and AKG.

    Brad, maybe pick up the phone and call Sergey Young? There are little pockets of money interested in testing these drugs. Seems to be mid-life people with money. The good news is there are a lot of those people out there who are also technically inclined. Unfortunately most of the computer programmers I know are not too concerned with their health. Also.. how about arranging trials in a place like India where conducting the research is perhaps less expensive than in Western countries?

    I agree with Matthew. Sergey Young is, I believe, a venture capitalist with a strong interest in longevity. If he's not willing to invest in your trial, I'm sure he could point to investors who would be.

    Really, very interesting! I"ve been following the news surrounding rapamycin for a while now and find it fascinating. I'm currently signed up for the PEARL trial, but haven't started yet. As a 72 year-old, who both exercises and engages in excellent nutrition, I'm at a point in my life where I'm looking for validated protocols beyond nutrition and exercise. Were I younger, I'd wait, but at my age, I'm willing to take a calculated risk with bio-hacking.

    Why not do metformin or berberine in the meantime? If we purposefully switch on mTOR with resistance training and more protein, then we can switch it off w metformin/berberine and intermittent fasting mediated autophagy?

I've been notified that I can get rapamycin through my metformin provider and I can afford it but wonder if it is of any benefit at my age.

    Amazing body composition and health profile -- just to clarify, HIIT can't be done for 3 hours a week, it's simply not possible to do that level of intensity for 3 hours in a week and if you are then it might be healthy cardiovascular activity, but not High Intensity Intervals. Should be 7-10 minutes maximum per session with somewhere between 4 to 10 sets of 30 second work/30 second rest, and doing that too many times in a week would surely be detrimental as it's extremely taxing on the body and demands proper recovery. Peter Attia says to not do it more than 1-2x per week, if you can do 31 seconds or longer it's not at that HIIT intensity :)

    I was curious about the 30 second chair test, because I’m two moths out from chemotherapy and 70 years old, (female) so I thought I would see how weak all this made me. According to the CDC guidelines a female my age should be able to do 10, but chemo is known to cause muscular deterioration. I have been exercising all throughout chemo when I felt up to it, and all throughout my life. I have definitely noticed significant fatigue, though, days after the chemo treatments and even now feel some weakness in my legs on the stationary bike as opposed to last Spring when I could easily ride 25 miles. Still, I succeeded in 17 rises, well over the 10 required and even over the 12 required in females a decade younger, I think perhaps the expectations are too low. (But I still got cancer, so there is that…..)

The question I chose for my diss was "Does our modern understanding of epigenetics challenge the principles of Neo-Darwinism?" Basically I am looking at longevity in populations and especially centenarians to see if they have certain genes that are more influential in their lifespan or if their methylation patterns are different compared to other populations etc. I'm looking into diet and methylation patterns there, environmental attributes to health and other factors etc. It is really interesting that's for sure and certain genes like APOE are significant in my review too.

    Hi Doctor - do u think maybe good to look at few physical parameters at start and end other than just stand test which is mainly looking at lower body strength? Maybe grip strength which in many other studies shows some correlation to lifespan? And maybe pull ups, for upper body testing, with this at your clinic site at start and end. Here could use a weighted assist pull up machine as many have issues for just one pull-up?

    I applaud the effort, but the study design fails to address a critical problem in most of the research on longevity. Testing subjects who didn't previously exercise artificially selects for people who are functionally "sick". Anyone who doesn't exercise is destined to live a shorter life (on average). In effect, you're stacking the study. You may only prove that Rapmycin is an analogue for exercise, not a drug that truly moves the needle on the maximum health or lifespan. It would be far more interesting to test a cohort who was in the peak of health. People who exercise, are vegan, get 8 hours sleep and don't engage in high risk activities like smoking. You're not really achieving anything until you extend the lives of people who were already going to live longer than the average person.
