We take a clear-eyed look at low-dose naltrexone (LDN) and map the two mechanisms that make its wide-ranging potential believable rather than hype: TLR4 modulation that quiets microglia in the brain, and a brief opioid receptor blockade that triggers rebounds in endorphins and opioid growth factor (OGF). First, we unpack ...

Drawing on MRI studies, longitudinal MBSR trials, and effective connectivity analyses, we trace how long-term practitioners maintain higher gray matter volume across the cortex—especially i...
