Can Magic Mushrooms Slow Aging? New Research Says Yes, In Mice ๐ง ๐
22 Jul 2025
In this episode, we dive into a groundbreaking 2025 study from Emory University that shows psilocybin, the compound found in psychedelic mushrooms, reversed signs of aging and extended lifespan in mice by 30%. Even more mind-blowing? Human skin and lung cells lived over 50% longer in lab studies.Our AI-generated hosts, explore the science behind how psilocybin impacts oxidative stress, telomere length, DNA repair โ and what it all means for human longevity and the future of anti-aging therapies.๐ฌ What you'll learn:How psychedelics may fight aging at the cellular levelThe science behind telomeres and lifespanWhy mice on psilocybin looked and aged betterWhat this could mean for humans and longevity medicineThe link between mental health, psychedelics, and healthy aging๐ Based on the 2025 study published in npj Aging:โPsilocybin treatment extends cellular lifespan and improves survival of aged miceโAuthors: Louise Hecker, Ali John Zarrabi, et al.DOI: 10.1038/s41514-025-00244-x๐ฌ Sound off in the comments: Would you consider psychedelic therapy for longevity?๐ Donโt forget to like, subscribe, and turn on notifications for more AI-powered episodes on cutting-edge biotech, mental health, and aging.#Psilocybin #AntiAging #MagicMushrooms #Longevity #BiotechPodcast #HealthyAging #Psychedelics #AIpodcastTranscript
