Could Magic Mushrooms Slow Aging? Neuroscience Says Maybe. (Psilocin, Aging & Ethics) with Neuroscientist David Haggerty
Description
Neuroscientist David Haggerty joins Alessandra Torresani to explore groundbreaking research on psilocin—the active compound in psilocybin mushrooms—and its surprising effects on aging in mice. They discuss how psilocin may boost immune function, extend lifespan, and what these findings could mean for human health. The conversation dives deep into the ethics of animal testing, the promise of personalized medicine, the challenges of translating lab results to real-world applications, and the ongoing debate around SSRIs, pregnant women and mental health. Oh and let's not forget the MAHA movement...what does it mean for the future of science? Whether you’re curious about neuroscience, medical ethics, or the future of healthcare, this episode offers a fascinating, informed perspective.
