The discovery of rapamycin sounds like something a Joe Rogan guest would pontificate about. What an interesting drug.

Joe Rogan only shows interest to conspiracy and contraversy, so I don't think he would invite a guest to pontificate about science and medicine that could be benefitial to humankind. But it is an interesting drug: >> The protein, now called mTOR, was originally named FRAP by Stuart L. Schreiber and RAFT1 by David M. Sabatini;[6][7] FRAP1 was used as its official gene symbol in humans. Because of these different names, mTOR, which had been first used by Robert T. Abraham,[6] was increasingly adopted by the community of scientists working on the mTOR pathway to refer to the protein and in homage to the original discovery of the TOR protein in yeast that was named TOR, the Target of Rapamycin, by Joe Heitman, Rao Movva, and Mike Hall

  Just googled "Joe Rogan rapamycin". Seems like he talks about it in multiple episodes with (at least) doctors Peter Attia and David Sinclair.

    Not surprising. Rogan is also an aging gymbro who would definitely be interested in anything that might boost performance to youth-like levels.

    I just have a bad taste for David Sinclair after his whole debacle of cashing in on company and making billions of false promises. He was also sacked from harvard for this https://longevity.technology/news/david-sinclair-resigns-as-president-of-the-academy-for-health-lifespan-research/ https://longevity.technology/news/david-sinclair-resigns-as-... He also blocked Brad Stanfield (who, I kind of look up to for a lot of health research) Hard to take him seriously after all this.

  Joe is a very curious person, so it goes in that direction sometimes just because it's interesting to think about. He's had biologists, virologists, bio-hackers, engineers, doctors, regenerative farmers, psychologists, wild life experts, physicists, etc.
