Will psychedelics produce the next longevity drug?
Dr Halland Chen on longevity medicine, mindset and the potential of psychedelics to improve human longevity.
This November, researchers, clinicians, and investors will descend on Miami, Florida for the annual Wonderland conference. This year, the world’s leading psychedelics conference is expanding its focus to include longevity for the first time, welcoming top speakers from across the field, from Bryan Johnson to Aubrey de Grey.
Through a series of keynotes, round table and panel discussions, and town hall open mic sessions, the event aims to explore the increasingly linked topics of psychedelic medicine, mental health, and longevity medicine.
My take on this: Every month it seems, more and more research is highlighting the connection between mental health and longevity – from accelerated biological aging to reduced life expectancy. With psychedelics simultaneously demonstrating compelling results in the treatment of mental conditions, from depression to PTSD, the synergies between longevity and psychedelic medicine are clear. We caught up with leading longevity physician Dr Halland Chen to tap into his views on recent developments in longevity medicine and its links with the psychedelic world.
One aspect of longevity that Dr Halland feels isn’t often talked about is the impact of someone’s mindset.

“We’re not taught about how to think about our health, and I believe a lot of people have problems with their health, because their mindset is incorrect,” he says. “Our tendency is to only deal with our health when it’s a real problem. But do you really want to be that person who only takes their health seriously when things go really bad?”
