Can Psychedelics Slow, and Even Reverse, Aging?
The data is starting to look impossible to ignore.
Mice experiencing cellular age reversal. Parkinson's patients seeing symptom relief. Brains rewiring after decades of trauma. All from compounds we've criminalized for 50 years.
The emerging research on psychedelics and aging is paradigm-shifting. And it raises a provocative question: what if we've been thinking about brain health, resilience, and longevity completely wrong?
In this talk, Nina Patrick, PhD, cuts through the hype to explore:
→ The actual mechanisms: how psychedelics interact with aging biology at the cellular level
→ What the clinical trials really show (and don't show) about cognitive decline
→ How these compounds might unlock neuroplasticity we thought was lost forever
→ The tension between ancient wisdom and modern pharmaceutical science
→ What's being overhyped vs. what deserves serious attention
This isn't medical advice or pseudoscience, it's a rigorous look at where the research stands right now.
Whether you're a biohacker, a longevity enthusiast, or simply curious about the future of brain health, you'll leave with a clear-eyed understanding of what psychedelics might (and might not) offer for healthspan extension.
Perfect for: Science-curious professionals, longevity enthusiasts, healthcare practitioners, and anyone interested in the intersection of psychedelics, neuroscience, and aging.
