Rapamycin for Fertility: The Drug Showing Promise for Women Over 40 with guest Dr. Steven Palter
Rapamycin is changing what's possible in fertility treatment, and in this episode, I'm breaking down exactly how. Originally discovered in the soil of Easter Island and long used by the longevity community to extend healthspan, rapamycin is now showing real promise for improving egg quality, increasing blastocyst formation rates, and helping women over 40 (even over 45) get pregnant. Joining me is Dr. Steve Palter, founder and medical and scientific director of Gold Coast IVF in Woodbury, New York. We cover the science of how it works at the cellular level, the landmark placebo-controlled trial out of China that gave us published data for the first time, my own case series accepted to PCRS, and how I'm now using Rapamycin for egg freezing patients, not just last-resort IVF cases. We also get discuss the Vibrant Trial on ovarian aging, dosing protocols, and why resistance training and protein intake matter for fertility and longevity. In this episode, we cover: • What rapamycin is, where it comes from, and why it's become the darling of the longevity world • How rapamycin may improve egg quality by regulating protein synthesis and cellular repair in aging ovarian cells • The landmark placebo-controlled trial out of China showing significantly higher pregnancy rates in poor-prognosis patients • My own case series (including patients over 45 getting pregnant) accepted to PCRS • Who is (and isn't) a good candidate, and how to have that conversation with your doctor • Why dosing protocols are still evolving and what current regimens look like • The underrated role of resistance training and protein intake for fertility, PCOS, and longevity Read the full show notes, and find the full length episode here.
