    Dr. Lynn Marie Morski: Psychedelics and Longevity

    Dr. Lynn Marie Morski returns to discuss the fast-evolving science and practical application of psychedelics, for mental health and longevity. We unpack new studies on psilocybin’s potential to influence cellular aging—like preserving telomere length—and the promise of non-hallucinogenic neuroplastogens for stroke recovery and mental flexibility. Lynn Marie also gets into why “heroic doses” may be counterproductive and how personalizing your set, setting, and compound may be key to safe and effective outcomes. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone curious about cognitive reinvention, therapeutic psychedelics, and how to make informed, safe choices in this complex field. How long will you live?
