It didn't surprise me. I've argued that Alzheimer's is a metabolic disease driven by insulin resistance, mitochondrial dysfunction, and neuroinflammation, not simply amyloid buildup. Under that model, neurons don't die immediately. They hibernate.
Two recent studies explain why psilocybin can wake them up. A 2026 study found it triggers active remyelination, rebuilding the brain's signal timing infrastructure. A 2025 Nature study found it extends cellular lifespan, boosts mitochondrial function, and reduces oxidative stress.
Essentially, psilocybin targets the metabolic root causes of the disease. Read More »
