There is interest in metformin as a "longevity" drug for sure, and a good place to start gathering some decent information on the subject is to google "metformin and Peter Attia".

I almost started this exact thread because I heard Attia talk about it. I’m super interested in his and Rhonda Patrick’s thoughts on healthspan. He’s super smart, but it’s hard to keep up with all his podcasts (the Drive). Anyway, for “reasons,” I think I may be insulin resistant to a certain extent, so I’ve really been interested in Metformin. For some reason, my mom (who was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes a couple of years ago) has an stash of extra Metformin. I mentioned it to her a couple of weeks ago as a potential anti-aging drug, and anyway, she had enough extra to give me 2 months worth. I’m starting it Ash Wednesday and if no side effects and gonna try to take it until Easter and see the difference in my body comp and labs.

One has to pay careful attention for sure. I'm an MD, and enjoy reading and keeping up not only in my specialty, and oftentimes, I find myself going back and listening again as it can be so technical (but that's why I like it).

I'd like to hear what your experience is from an exercise tolerance standpoint (if that's your bag) as the drug apparently can significantly lower mitochondrial performance and thus the lactate threshold to a significant degree.
