Numerous studies have concluded that psilocybin causes cells of the body to not drop the telomeres as often.
This means that many cells can have up to five years greater lifespan when psilocybin is applied to them.
This could defer many effects of aging.

This is something David Kessler often says about people in grief. But I also think it pertains to when we have a chronic illness, or trauma, or any kind of experience that was not what we planned and breaks us. We can’t create the life we wanted so we just think it’s over.
