Longevity science is starting to ask a deeper question: What if aging well is about more than keeping the body alive longer? UC Berkeley’s new study is looking at the aging brain through the lens of plasticity, memory, emotion, perception, and overall well-being. The focus is healthy older adults. So much of aging research begins after something has already gone wrong: memory loss, cognitive decline, disease, or diagnosis. This study is more proactive. It looks at whether the brain later in life may still have more room to adapt, reorganize, and stay flexible than we usually assume. Researchers will use MRI scans and follow-up assessments to look for measurable changes in brain structure, brain activity, emotional regulation, social connection, awe, and stress recovery. That makes this less about “anti-aging” in the shallow sense and more about successful aging. Can the brain remain open to change? Can older adults maintain deeper emotional resilience? Can science better understand the biology of aging well before decline begins? That may be one of the most important questions in longevity. Because living longer only matters if the mind, memory, and sense of connection can come with us.

Terence Meets the Machine Elves: A visual replication of the DMT breakthrough experience generated through a bespoke generative media pipeline. built in collaboration with: @noonautics & @alieninsect 👁️

At over 70 experiences now, we are seeing patterns in dose response and journey trajectories, however each is overwhelmingly unique. We are so excited to be booking into the fall as we approach triple digits. There is always a learning curve as we dial this in and discover how DMTx entry works with individual metabolism and mindset. We are excited to work with researchers and explorers who are exploring consciousness in novel ways. Collaboration has become and will continue to be a key element of how our space promotes connectivity and exploration. We have exciting things coming up! And we can’t share as events unfold😀 but we still have some availability in the fall to share our ceremonial space for personal exploration!

Psilocybin may be pushing scientists to ask a different question: what if OCD is less about fear, and more about the brain’s addiction to certainty?wired.com/story/book-excerpt…

Bryan Johnson approached 5-MeO-DMT as part of a structured longevity experiment, applying the same system he uses for every intervention. His goal has always been simple: identify what creates the biggest impact on human health and performance. His framework looks like this: • Start with fundamentals like sleep, nutrition, and exercise • Layer in advanced protocols like sauna and hyperbaric oxygen • Test high-impact variables that could shift the system 5-MeO entered that system once he saw a gap. It had been explored in other areas, but rarely through a longevity lens, making it worth testing. He treated it as a high-impact variable, asking whether it could create a deeper reset than traditional protocols. What he reported was a full-system shift that stood above his daily optimization stack. That result led to new questions: • How long do the effects last? • Does the benefit fade over time? • Where does this fit in a long-term protocol? For Johnson, the takeaway is clear. Longevity may involve more than steady optimization, with certain interventions capable of rapidly shifting the system in ways traditional methods do not. Source: All In Podcast
