In a pilot study, 50 women aged 35-45, all just before perimenopause, took 5mg of Rapamycin or a placebo weekly for 12 weeks. The results suggest this dose could delay ovarian aging by 20%, potentially giving women up to five additional fertile years.
In animal studies, Rapamycin has been shown to:
✨ Delay menopause
✨ Preserve ovarian follicles
✨ Enhance egg quality
✨ Improve the ovarian microenvironment
While these findings are promising, they’re still in the early stages. Larger human trials are needed to confirm long-term safety and efficacy before this can become a reliable option for women over 40 trying to conceive.
As soon as we have clear direction on the safety and effectiveness of protocols like this, these are exactly the kinds of advancements I integrate into my practice. But in the meantime, we don’t have to wait for future science to start improving our fertility today.
The Fertile After 40 Masterclass is rooted in science, incorporating hundreds of studies that show how nutrition, lifestyle, environment, and targeted supplementation can have a powerful impact on fertility. These are the tools we know work to support hormone balance, enhance egg quality, and optimize your reproductive health right now.
