Psilocybin, Telomeres, and the Hype: Can Magic Mushrooms Really Slow Aging?
This post steps outside the typical world of physical therapy to explore something at the edge of aging science: a new study suggesting psilocybin — yes, from magic mushrooms — may slow cellular aging and extend lifespan in mice.
It’s not a rehab tool. It’s not clinical practice. But it is a breakthrough worth paying attention to if you're interested in the science of longevity and healthspan. The research is early, speculative, and far from human application — but it's opening doors that could reshape how we think about aging at the cellular level.
Curious? Read on to see what psilocybin is doing in the lab — and why sweat, sleep, and strength still reign supreme for now.
Dry Needling & Joint Manipulation to Regulate the Autonomic Nervous System Toward Homeostasis to Treat & Resolve Sleep Walking
Sleepwalking—or somnambulism—impacts around 3 million people in the U.S. annually, often emerging in childhood and triggered by sympathetic nervous system activity during non‑REM sleep. While usually harmless, these episodes can range from amusing midnight snack raids to potentially dangerous behaviors. Health Hive’s innovative approach combines dry needling and joint manipulation to stimulate parasympathetic regulation—promoting deeper, undisturbed sleep and mitigating the sympathetic arousal that underlies sleepwalking. Learn how targeting craniosacral regions, the vagus nerve, and key muscle groups can restore autonomic balance and help you sleep through the night.
