My levels have increased after I did 20mg rapamycin more frequently… But not to like… problematic levels

Whereas in 2020 and all years prior, I had TG of like 42 (less than HDL) and LDL in the 60s/70s
There are papers showing that rapamycin can increase blood lipids. Robert Lustig says TG/HDL ratio should ideally be below 1.5.

Bryan Johnson does * Rapamycin 13mg, bi-weekly (Rx) and has 55 triglycerides and 74 LDL. Agh.

He is a pediatric endocrinologist. Take a look at experts like Allan Sniderman or Thomas Dayspring instead.
Of course it’s important to read some of the studies they cite too (or write).

@AlexKChen I didn’t notice any changes in my cholesterol. You can see my year 1 results here. My Results: A Year on Rapamycin
20mg is a higher dose than I was taking. You might reduce for a month and see if your cholesterol levels change.
