Psilocybin may be a metabolic reset button for the brain. My blood sugar control improved from the top 2% of the population to 0.2%, better than 99.75% of 18-25 year olds.
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.
This data suggests that a neuroplastic event might have downstream effects on the liver and pancreas that mimic or exceed these drugs.

My blood glucose control dramatically improved, moving from the top 2% to the top 0.2% of the entire population, including healthy 18-25 year olds. + 8% reduction in mean blood glucose, reaching 80.84 mg/dL, a new personal best. + 11% reduction in fluctuation, indicating smoother glucose peaks and improved control. + This single session reduced my estimated HbA1c 0.3 6.8% from 4.7% to 4.4%, (a relative reduction of 6.8%).
Psilocybin appears to have triggered a previously unknown metabolic reset in my brain, an unexpected breakthrough.
Psilocybin may be a metabolic reset button for the brain. We expected brain changes, but not a potential metabolic breakthrough. My blood sugar control improved from the top 2% of the population to 0.2%, better than 99.75% of 18-25 year olds.
