Overview
- Continue Research unveiled a brain‑first ageing model that ties lifelong gravity‑related reductions in cerebral blood flow to systemic decline.
- The group reports early, unpublished data using a new proxy device, claiming active inversions raise brain flow about 13.3%, passive inversions about 20.2%, and six weeks of daily 10‑minute passive inversions boosted baseline flow 7%.
- Gynecologist Rajesh Parikh publicly labeled the claims misleading and dangerous, citing cerebral autoregulation, evidence that headstands can reduce cerebral delivery, space‑medicine findings, and risks for people with hypertension, glaucoma, or cardiovascular disease.
- Goyal’s X thread drew millions of views and wide reactions, and the collective framed the work as open science that invites independent scrutiny rather than a finalized conclusion.
- Goyal recently announced a $25 million fund for the effort and said teams are designing studies, publishing a rebuttal FAQ, and forming a contra group to try to falsify the hypothesis.
