First 8 weeks on weekly rapamycin – sleep, skin, and energy updates

Tbh i started the 3‑mg weekly rapamycin protocol 8 weeks ago after reading about how it mimics calorie restriction and boosts autophagy, so i thought it could help with my sleep, skin, and that constant post‑workout fatigue i’ve got, and i did. The first few weeks i had a couple of mouth sores and a rough gut – i took a probiotic and it eased up. I kept a sleep diary and i noticed that by week 4 i was falling asleep 10–15 minutes faster and waking up feeling less groggy, even when i hit the gym after.

Skin-wise i saw a subtle but real drop in those post‑exercise blemishes – i swear i could see the difference in the mirror in the morning. Energy was a bit of a rollercoaster at first, but by week 6 i had the steady “all‑day” kind of buzz that doesn’t crash. I’m still on the 3‑mg dose, but i’ve tweaked the timing to 6 days a week because i feel it keeps my gut calmer, and i’ll keep tracking. I’m curious if anyone else has seen a similar pattern or has a different rhythm that works better for them.
