Managing BAT Levels
A Proactive Approach to Brain Health
Why Managing BAT Levels™ Matters
Your brain is constantly working to keep itself clear, balanced, and efficient. But like every system in the body, it needs regular check-ins to stay that way.
BAT Levels™ are your brain’s version of a “check engine light.” They help show how well your brain is clearing what it no longer needs and the microscopic buildup that can interfere with long-term brain performance if it isn’t managed.
Small changes in BAT Levels™ over time don’t mean something is wrong. They’re simply signals that your brain’s natural clearance system may be working harder than it should.
By identifying and managing these shifts early, you can support your brain’s resilience and function for years to come.
Think of it this way:
Left unmanaged, subtle shifts in BAT Levels™ can gradually affect the systems that keep your brain clear and functioning at its best.
That’s why BATWatch™ exists… to help people stay proactive, not reactive, when it comes to brain health.
Monitoring your BAT Levels™ through BATCheck™ gives you a clear, measurable way to see how your brain is doing beneath the surface, so you can take small, informed actions that add up over time.
Understanding BAT Levels™ and Drift
Your brain is a self-cleaning system. Every day, it clears away microscopic proteins like Beta-Amyloid and Tau, keeping your neural pathways sharp and efficient.
BAT Levels™ represent the balance between these two proteins… a biological snapshot of how well your clearance systems are keeping up.
Over time, that system can slow down. This gradual change is called drift.
Drift doesn’t mean something is wrong, it simply means your brain’s cleanup and repair systems are working harder than they should.
Think of it like noticing higher cholesterol or slower metabolism… it’s not a diagnosis, it’s data.
When drift is caught early, it can be managed through small, proactive steps that keep your system efficient and responsive.
If left unmanaged, those same shifts may impact brain health down the road by allowing more buildup to persist than your body can clear on its own.
That’s where a BATCheck™ comes in. It’s a simple way to measure and track BAT Levels™ through lab testing, so you can see changes before they become trends.
The goal isn’t to wait for symptoms or worry about outcomes. It’s to stay ahead of drift and protect the systems that protect your brain.
How to Manage BAT Levels™
Managing BAT Levels™ is about balance, not treatment.
Your goal is to keep your brain’s natural clearance systems working efficiently, just as you would maintain your heart, metabolism, or sleep cycle.
There are three simple ways to stay in control of your BAT Levels™:
• Monitor Regularly
o Use BATCheck™ to track your numbers over time.
o Regular testing helps spot changes early, so you can take proactive steps before small drifts become long-term trends.
• Support Naturally
o Reinforce your brain’s natural cleanup process through sleep, movement, stress management, and nutrient support.
o These lifestyle factors directly affect how efficiently your brain clears waste and repairs itself.
• Reset Strategically
o If testing shows measurable drift, your provider may guide you through a short BATReset™ Cycle… a temporary protocol that helps restore balance to your brain’s clearance systems.
o It’s not about medication dependency, it’s about periodic tune-ups that keep things running smoothly.
Managing BAT Levels™ isn’t about treating illness or chasing symptoms.
It’s about maintaining efficiency, extending resilience, and giving your brain the same proactive attention you give every other part of your health.
Lifestyle Strategies that Support Healthy BAT Levels™
Your daily habits play a major role in how efficiently your brain clears and repairs itself.
While lifestyle changes alone may not reverse elevated BAT Levels™, they form the foundation that keeps your clearance systems strong between BATCheck™ screenings and any guided BATReset™ cycles.
Here are the core habits that matter most:
1. Sleep deeply.
• Your brain performs its most active cleanup during deep sleep.
• Think of sleep as your brain’s “overnight rinse cycle”… missing it means waste and byproducts can accumulate faster than they’re cleared.
2. Move often.
• Regular movement improves blood flow, oxygenation, and nutrient delivery to brain cells.
• You don’t need extreme exercise… even daily walks, stretching, or light strength training can help maintain healthy BAT Levels™.
3. Eat smart.
• Support autophagy (your body’s internal recycling process) with nutrient-dense foods and smart eating patterns.
• Whole foods, omega-3 fats, polyphenols, and time-restricted eating windows can all help keep your brain’s cleanup crew active.
4. Lower constant stress.
• Chronic stress interferes with repair and accelerates biological drift.
• Incorporate mindfulness, breaks, or simple breathing routines to help your brain shift from “fight-or-flight” back into recovery mode.
5. Stay connected.
• Human connection is brain fuel.
• Engaging socially, learning new skills, and maintaining a sense of purpose keeps neural circuits active and flexible… another key to long-term brain performance.
• Lifestyle measures can help maintain clearance efficiency, but they don’t replace medical guidance.
• When drift is detected, your provider can determine whether a BATReset™ Cycle is appropriate for additional support.
The BATReset™ Cycle - Guided Clearance Support
When your BATCheck™ results show a noticeable drift, your provider may recommend a short BATReset™ Cycle to help your brain’s natural cleanup systems perform more efficiently.
This is not a long-term medication plan… it’s a temporary reset designed to help your biology get back on track.
What it is:
A guided, time-limited protocol using an FDA-approved medication (Sirolimus) that has been safely used for decades in other areas of medicine, such as transplant recovery, oncology, and longevity research.
How it works:
The BATReset™ Cycle supports your body’s own repair systems, encouraging cellular cleanup and renewal through autophagy… the same process your body naturally uses to remove waste and old proteins.
Duration:
Typically 8–12 weeks. Most people only need a short course before returning to standard monitoring.
Supervision:
All cycles are prescribed, reviewed, and monitored by licensed healthcare providers under clear, evidence-guided protocols. Patients receive detailed information about dosage, timing, side effects, and post-cycle steps before starting.
Goal:
The purpose of the BATReset™ Cycle is not to “treat” or “cure,” but to help rebalance biological systems that have begun to drift, supporting long-term brain health and clearance efficiency.
Think of it like changing your engine oil… not because the engine failed, but because you want it running clean and lasting longer.
Safety, Oversight & Evidence-Based Use
Every BATReset™ Cycle is guided by medical oversight and built on established science.
The approach uses Sirolimus, an FDA-approved medication that has been safely applied for decades across transplant medicine, oncology, and longevity research.
In these fields, it supports cellular repair, autophagy, and tissue protection… mechanisms that the BATReset™ Cycle applies toward maintaining biological balance and supporting the brain’s natural clearance systems.
BATWatch™ builds on decades of exploratory research into mTOR signaling, cellular cleanup pathways, and the biology of aging.
Our internal Evidence Matrix continuously reviews and synthesizes high-impact studies across neuroscience, pharmacology, and aging biology to guide this protocol’s design.
This is considered evidence-guided use, a standard and ethical medical practice recognized across many specialties when supported by robust scientific data.
It’s similar to how medications like Ozempic® and Mounjaro® were prescribed for metabolic support long before formal FDA approval for that indication, guided by data, medical oversight, and transparent patient education.
The same principle applies here: physicians use existing, FDA-approved medications in research-supported ways with full oversight, patient consent, and structured follow-up.
The goal of the BATReset™ Cycle is not treatment… it’s restoration and prevention through safe, evidence-based care.
Important
• Sirolimus (Rapamycin) is FDA-approved for other indications, such as organ transplant rejection prevention and certain rare lung conditions.
• Its use within the BATReset™ Cycle is evidence-guided and consistent with recognized medical standards that allow physicians to apply approved medications in new, research-supported contexts (sometimes referred to as “off-label” use).
• This protocol is not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any disease. It is designed to support healthy brain function and biological efficiency through monitored, temporary cycles.
• The focus remains the same: safety, data, and proactive support… not fear, speculation, or long-term medication dependence.
Ongoing Monitoring & Long-Term Maintenance
Your BAT Levels™ are not fixed… they move with your biology.
Stress, sleep, diet, and even routine changes can influence how efficiently your brain clears and repairs itself. That’s why ongoing monitoring matters just as much as the initial reset.
After completing a BATReset™ Cycle, your provider will recommend continued BATCheck™ testing every 6–12 months to monitor progress and identify any new drift early.
This ensures that even small shifts can be addressed before they become patterns.
Think of it as routine maintenance for your brain.
Just as you check cholesterol, blood sugar, or blood pressure to prevent issues before they start, BATCheck™ keeps your brain’s clearance systems on your radar… so you can make timely adjustments if needed.
Over time, this rhythm of test, act, reassess becomes second nature.
• Test: Keep up your BATCheck™ schedule.
• Act: Adjust lifestyle or consider a brief BATReset™ Cycle if advised.
• Reassess: Review changes, celebrate progress, and keep the system tuned.
The goal isn’t perfection… it’s consistency.
When you stay engaged with your BAT Levels™, you’re not reacting to problems, you’re maintaining performance.
Your brain doesn’t stand still, and neither should your approach to caring for it.
The Takeaway - Staying Ahead of Drift
Your brain doesn’t need rescue… it needs rhythm.
Managing BAT Levels™ is about understanding your biology and staying connected to it.
Just like maintaining heart health or managing metabolism, brain health is something you guide, not chase.
When you monitor, support, and reset with purpose, you give your brain the same proactive care you give the rest of your body.
Drift is natural, but it’s manageable… especially when caught early and addressed consistently.
Through BATCheck™, lifestyle balance, and the occasional BATReset™ Cycle when needed, you can keep your brain’s clearance system functioning as designed: clean, efficient, and adaptive.
Your brain is built for longevity… it just needs maintenance. Stay proactive, stay balanced, and stay ahead of drift.

Sirolimus (Rapamycin) & the BATReset™ Cycle: What You Need to Know
Sirolimus, also known as Rapamycin, is an FDA-approved medication primarily used to prevent organ transplant rejection. Over the past two decades, it has also been studied extensively in oncology, longevity, and cellular repair research for its role in supporting healthy aging and autophagy, the body’s natural cleanup and renewal process.
Within the BATReset™ Cycle, Sirolimus is used under physician supervision to help support the body’s ability to maintain biological balance and efficient brain clearance, particularly when BAT Levels™ show measurable drift.
How Sirolimus Works
Sirolimus modulates a cellular pathway known as mTOR (mechanistic target of rapamycin), a central regulator of metabolism, growth, and repair. By carefully adjusting this pathway, Sirolimus promotes autophagy, helping the body recycle old or damaged cellular material.
This process may support healthy aging and help reduce buildup of proteins such as Beta-Amyloid and Tau, which your brain routinely clears as part of its natural housekeeping system.
✔ Supports healthy brain balance and biological efficiency
✔ Promotes autophagy (cellular renewal)
✔ Reduces chronic inflammation and supports repair systems
✔ Used safely for decades across multiple specialties
Safety, Side Effects, and Best Practices
The BATReset™ Cycle is physician-guided and short in duration, typically lasting 8–12 weeks. Most side effects, if they occur, are mild and temporary, especially at the low doses used in this program.
Common Temporary Effects:
Mild fatigue or headache as your body adjusts
Occasional mouth sores (see below for prevention)
Mild digestive changes, such as constipation or loose stool
Tips for Comfort and Safety
1. Mouth Sores
Occasional canker sores may occur during early use. These usually resolve on their own within 1–2 weeks.
To minimize discomfort:
Rinse with salt water or alcohol-free mouthwash.
Avoid acidic, spicy, or crunchy foods.
Use gentle toothpaste without SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate).
If needed, your provider can prescribe a soothing mouthwash to reduce irritation.
2. Headache or Fatigue
Stay hydrated, rest, and ensure adequate nutrition.
If pain relief is needed, use acetaminophen (Tylenol®), not ibuprofen (Advil®, Motrin®) or naproxen (Aleve®).
Why: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can increase the risk of kidney strain when combined with Sirolimus.
Acetaminophen works safely without impacting kidney function.
3. Food & Drug Interactions
Avoid grapefruit, pomelo, and Seville oranges, these can alter how Sirolimus is metabolized in your liver, potentially raising blood levels.
Avoid St. John’s Wort, which can lower the effectiveness of Sirolimus.
Limit alcohol during dosing days, as it can increase inflammation and liver workload.
Always inform your provider of all medications or supplements you’re taking, including over-the-counter products.
4. Wound Healing
Because Sirolimus slows certain repair pathways, avoid scheduling elective surgeries during a BATReset™ Cycle. If an injury occurs, follow standard wound care and notify your provider.
5. Infection Risk
Sirolimus slightly modulates immune function. Maintain good hygiene, rest, and avoid exposure to illness during the cycle.
If you develop a fever, cough, or unusual fatigue, contact your provider promptly.
Stay up to date on vaccinations before beginning a BATReset™ Cycle (avoid live vaccines while on Sirolimus).
Important
Sirolimus (Rapamycin) is FDA-approved for other indications such as organ transplant rejection prevention and certain rare lung conditions.
Its use within the BATReset™ Cycle is evidence-guided and consistent with recognized medical standards that allow licensed providers to apply approved medications in new, research-supported contexts.
This protocol is not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any disease. It is designed to support healthy brain function, clearance efficiency, and overall biological balance through monitored, temporary cycles.
Avoid NSAIDs, grapefruit products, and alcohol during dosing days. Use acetaminophen (Tylenol®) instead for pain or headaches.
The focus remains the same: safety, data, and proactive support, not fear, speculation, or long-term medication dependence.
