Weekly low‑dose rapamycin + metformin + matrixyl serum – my 3‑month feel‑check

I’ve been running a low‑dose rapamycin protocol for about ten weeks now, 4 mg every Sunday, and paired it with metformin 500 mg twice a day since early March, tbh the idea was to hit both mTOR and AMPK pathways and see if anything noticeable shows up beyond the usual “feeling a bit clearer”. After the first month i noticed my sleep latency dropped a few minutes, I’d fall asleep quicker even on nights when i’d had a late night writing sprint, and my morning energy felt steadier, not the usual crash around 10 am. Around week six i added a matrixyl‑rich night cream (around 3 % peptide) because i’ve been getting more fine lines around the eyes from all the screen time, and after another three weeks the skin on my forehead felt a bit tighter, the lines seemed shallower when i looked in the mirror, and there was a mild tingling that went away after a day. I’m not claiming anything dramatic, just wanted to share the timeline and ask if anyone else has tried a similar combo and what subtle changes they’ve picked up, especially around skin texture or recovery after hard training sessions.
