Summary

EP. 219: 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?

0:13.3	We're going to talk about this paper. I saw this circulating and I honestly didn't want to read it.
0:19.7	It's called botulinum neurotoxin induces neurotoxic microglia mediated by exogenous inflammatory responses.
0:28.8	It is a 2024 paper.
0:32.3	Let's see.
0:33.9	University of California, advanced science was the journal, advanced science.com. You guys can
0:39.5	grab it. I'll make sure it's in the show notes. I didn't want to read this. This one's heavy.
0:47.1	Let me tell you why. The more I get into it, the more upsetting this is. I did a post about it the other

0:59.6	So I've been using predominantly dysport, which is in the class of neuromodulators.
1:06.0	Neuromodulators are like Ziamen, dysport, Botox.
1:10.7	These are botulinum toxin derivatives that are supposedly
1:14.6	safe that we put into our face to get rid of wrinkles. I do think that I look the way I look today
1:21.7	because I have been using them regularly since I was in my 30s, early 30s. I have a very heavy brow. I was under a
1:30.8	tremendous amount of stress for a long time, and I did this a lot. I have nothing in my face right now.
1:36.9	The last time I injected my face with disport was a year ago, and the time before that was a year before that so i've been slowly but
1:46.3	surely realizing this probably wasn't great for me i have met a few younger women who've told me that
1:53.2	they've had really horrific reactions to botox they did it forever they were using it for years and years
