Known as the “Mushroom of Immortality,” this ancient fungus isn’t promising eternal life—but it is offering better sleep, stronger immunity, and a calmer nervous system.

Psychedelic therapy isn’t just for the youth—Boomers are getting back in the groove, this time with guided mushroom sessions and science to back them up. “Tripping With Grandma” explores how psilocybin and other psychedelics are helping older generations heal old wounds, rediscover wonder, and even bond with younger folks over shared experiences.
