Your Brain on Botox: New Study Reveals Shocking Effects | Quick + Dirty

EP. 219: Join my NEW community for Gen X women: ⁠⁠https://www.skool.com/drtyna/about⁠⁠ This one shook me. A brand new 2024 study in Advanced Science shows that botulinum toxin, the active ingredient in Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin, can travel to the brain, trigger inflammation, damage synapses, and create changes that closely resemble early Alzheimer's. In this episode, I break down what the researchers found, how it connects to microglial activation, chronic pain, memory, and hormone shifts. Topics Discussed: → Can Botox travel to your brain? → Does Botox increase your risk of Alzheimer’s? → What does Botox do to brain cells? → Is microglial activation linked to Botox use? → Are neuromodulators like Dysport and Xeomin safe long-term?
