Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website. I'm excited to be joining Dr. Lorne Brown on the Conscious Fertility Podcast to dive into a fascinating topic: Rapamycin. While it's started to be used as an anti-aging drug, I've been exploring its potential for reproductive health, especially in improving fertility and delaying menopause. In this episode, I share my personal experience taking Rapamycin, including how it's affected my skin, menstrual cycles, and overall health. We'll also get into the science behind it and how it may be beneficial for women going through menopause or undergoing fertility treatments like IVF. While I'm passionate about this topic, I want to emphasize that this is not medical advice—always consult your doctor before considering any new treatments. I also share how my alcohol-free lifestyle supports my approach to healthy aging and fertility. Key points covered include:

How Rapamycin may help delay menopause, reverse its effects, and support fertility treatments.
Some of the potential side effects, like cystic acne and mouth sores.
Why I started using and prescribing Rapamycin for longevity and helping women improve fertility later in life.
My personal experience with Rapamycin, including smoother skin, regular cycles, and no gray hair at 48.
The importance of consulting your doctor before trying Rapamycin, as this podcast is informational and not meant as medical advice.
