My first few weeks on low‑dose rapamycin – what I’ve noticed so far

Hey folks, just thought I’d share a quick log from the past month since I started a low‑dose rapamycin protocol (around 4 mg once a week, taken on a Sunday night). To be fair, I’m still keeping an eye on blood work and have a GP in the loop, but I wanted to put my personal observations out there.

First thing I noticed was a subtle shift in my sleep quality – I tend to fall asleep a bit faster and stay in the deeper stages longer, even though my bedtime routine hasn’t changed. My morning energy feels a touch steadier; I’m not hitting that mid‑morning slump that used to creep in after a heavy breakfast.

On the training side, I’ve been doing three cycling sessions a week (about 45 km each) and haven’t seen any difference in performance, but my recovery feels a little quicker – soreness seems to fade within a day rather than two. My skin has also looked a bit more hydrated, maybe just a coincidence but I’ve had fewer dry patches.

No mouth sores or GI issues yet, which is a relief. I’m planning to keep the once‑weekly schedule for a few more months and will update if anything changes. Anyone else on a similar dose? Curious about any longer‑term tweaks you’ve made. 📚🙂
