Psilocin notably increased levels of Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), a protein known to regulate cellular aging, oxidative stress, and DNA repair, which might explain these results in part
The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
It also reduced markers of aging like β-gal activity, boosted sirtuin (SIRT1) levels, lowered DNA damage and oxidative stress, and preserved telomeres.
In vitro, psilocin (psilocybin’s metabolite) extended cellular lifespan by 29% at baseline and 57% at higher doses.
