In this episode (watch on YouTube), we explore the groundbreaking potential of psilocybin—the active ingredient in psychedelic mushrooms—as a promising treatment for Parkinson’s disease. 🧠🍄

A recent pilot study by researchers at UC San Francisco found that psilocybin, when combined with psychotherapy, led to significant improvements in mood, cognition, and even motor symptoms in people with mild to moderate Parkinson’s.

🌟 Key Highlights:

  1. How psilocybin may reduce depression and anxiety
  2. Surprising reports of improved movement and reduced tremors
  3. The role of neuroplasticity and inflammation in Parkinson’s
  4. What this means for future treatments and clinical trials

This is the first time a psychedelic has been tested in a neurodegenerative disease population—and the results are encouraging.
