Optimal Protocols for Studying & Learning Andrew Huberman 2024-08-26 | In this episode, I discuss science-supported protocols to optimize your depth and rate of learning of material and skills. I explain the neurobiology of learning and neuroplasticity and how correctly timed, self-directed test-taking can be leveraged to improve learning and prevent forgetting. I discuss the study habits of the most successful learners, ways to limit distractions, how to set study goals, and how tests can be used as tools to learn, not just as a means for evaluating one’s mastery of learned material. A surprising aspect of tests, specifically self-testing soon after exposure to new material, is that they can significantly improve your ability to learn, apply, and maintain new knowledge. I also discuss tools to improve focus and alertness while studying.By the end of this episode, you will have learned various science-supported actionable tools you can use to better learn, remember, and apply new information.Access the full show notes for this episode: hubermanlab.com/episode/optimal-protocols-for-studying-learningThank you to our sponsorsAG1: drinkag1.com/huberman Eight Sleep: eightsleep.com/huberman BetterHelp: betterhelp.com/huberman Waking Up: wakingup.com/huberman LMNT: drinklmnt.com/huberman Timestamps00:00:00 Improve Studying & Learning00:02:11 Sponsors: Eight Sleep, BetterHelp & Waking Up00:06:45 Offsetting Forgetting00:08:22 Learning & Neuroplasticity00:13:06 Periodic Testing00:16:09 Focus & Alertness, Sleep, Tool: Active Engagement00:21:37 Tool: Improve Focus, Mindfulness Meditation, Perception Exercise00:24:38 Sleep & Neuroplasticity, Tool: Non-Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR)00:28:29 Tools: Study Habits of Successful Students00:36:21 Sponsor: AG100:37:33 Studying & Aspiration Goals; Challenging Material00:42:54 Tool: Testing as a Learning Tool00:48:23 Self-Testing, Repeated Testing00:55:29 Testing Yourself & Knowledge Gaps01:01:11 Sponsor: LMNT01:02:23 New Material & Self-Test Timing01:07:21 Familiarity vs Mastery01:10:55 Self-Testing & Offsetting Forgetting01:15:53 Best Type of Self-Tests; Phone & Post-Learning Distractions01:22:03 Tool: Gap Effects; Testing as Studying vs. Evaluation01:25:40 Tool: Emotion & Learning, PTSD, Deliberate Cold Exposure, Caffeine01:33:28 Tool: Interleaving Information; Unskilled, Mastery & Virtuosity01:39:10 Zero-Cost Support, YouTube, Spotify & Apple Follow & Reviews, Sponsors, YouTube Feedback, Protocols Book, Social Media, Neural Network Newsletter#HubermanLab #Science #LearningDisclaimer: hubermanlab.com/disclaimer

We explain how mineral-based (inorganic) sunscreens differ from chemical (organic) sunscreens, whether sunscreen can minimize premature skin aging, reduce cancer risk, and if there are any health risks associated with sunscreen use. We discuss skincare routines to significantly improve skin appearance and how to select skincare products. We discuss how caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, and stress impact the skin and describe how nutrition and anti-inflammatory diets can improve skin health. We also discuss the causes and treatments for common skin conditions, including dandruff, acne, rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, and vitiligo. Our conversation also covers topics such as the use of retinoids, laser treatments, red-light phototherapy, supplements, and how to best monitor for skin cancer. This episode provides numerous actionable protocols, most of which are zero-to-low cost, for improving skin health and appearance, reducing cancer risk, and treating skin problems.Access the full show notes for this episode: hubermanlab.com/episode/dr-teo-soleymani-how-to-improve-protect-your-skin-health-appearancePre-order Andrew's new book, Protocols: protocolsbook.com*Thank you to our sponsors*AG1: drinkag1.com/hubermanROKA: roka.com/hubermanJoovv: joovv.com/hubermanHelix Sleep: helixsleep.com/hubermanLMNT: drinklmnt.com/huberman*Huberman Lab Social & Website*Instagram: instagram.com/hubermanlab Threads: threads.net/@hubermanlabTwitter: twitter.com/hubermanlab Facebook: facebook.com/hubermanlab TikTok: tiktok.com/@hubermanlab LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/andrew-hubermanWebsite: hubermanlab.com Newsletter: hubermanlab.com/newsletter*Dr. Teo Soleymani*Clinical practice: californiadermatology.com/provider/teo-soleymani-md-faad-facmsResearchGate: researchgate.net/profile/Teo-SoleymaniSol Sciences*: sunpowder.co/pages/aboutInstagram: instagram.com/teosoleymanimdLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/teo-soleymani-m-d-f-a-a-d-f-a-c-m-s-151a5941*We have no financial relationship with Sol Sciences.*Timestamps*00:00:00 Dr. Teo Soleymani00:01:35 Sponsors: ROKA, Joovv & Helix Sleep00:05:45 Skin Turnover; Skin Appearance & Stress 00:13:35 Caffeine, Vasoconstriction & Skin Redness00:16:31 Nicotine, Vaping & Skin Appearance00:18:37 Alcohol, Skin Health00:24:33 Hydration, Fluid Intake & Genetics00:26:19 Tool: Selecting a Moisturizer00:29:28 Sponsor: AG100:30:40 Puffiness Under Eyes & Cause00:32:14 Tool: Skin Cleansing; Frequency, Showers00:41:57 Dry & Flaky Scalp, Dandruff00:46:09 Cost & Skincare Products00:50:20 Tool: Sun Exposure & Skin Health, Mood00:56:24 Sponsor: LMNT00:57:35 Sunscreens vs. Sunblocks; Mineral-Based (Inorganic) vs. Chemical (Organic) Sunscreen01:02:45 Physical Barriers, Sunscreens, Oral Supplements & Skin Cancer01:07:27 Skin Cancer, Genetics; Sunscreen, Premature Aging01:12:11 Premature Aging & Skincare00:15:56 Choose Mineral or Chemical Sunscreen?01:20:24 Polypodium Supplement, Sun Exposure, Skin Redness01:26:02 Tool: Selecting Mineral-Based Sunscreens01:28:30 Chemical Sunscreens & Blood-Brain Barrier01:30:13 Nutrition, Gut Microbiome & Skin Health01:34:28 Tool: Nutrition for Skin Health, Protein, Anti-Inflammatory; Collagen; Omega-301:42:58 Retinoids vs. Retinol, Skin Appearance01:49:45 Laser Resurfacing; Exfoliation, Microdermabrasion01:56:52 Red Light Therapy & Phototherapy, Face Masks, Light Panels02:04:10 Psoriasis, Phototherapy02:10:03 Vitiligo, Immune System & Skin Cancer Risk02:15:41 Acne, High Glycemic Index Foods, Dairy02:19:38 Rosacea, Types & Treatments02:23:00 Eczema, Immune System02:25:37 Popping Pimples & Acne Scars; Corticosteroids02:30:15 Tattoos; Tool: Monitoring for Skin Cancer, Moles, Annual Exams02:36:28 HPV, Cancer & Warts; Vaccine & Cancer Risk02:43:31 Zero-Cost Support, YouTube, Spotify & Apple Follow & Reviews, YouTube Feedback, Protocols Book, Social Media, Neural Network Newsletter#HubermanLab #Science #SkinHealthDisclaimer & Disclosures: hubermanlab.com/disclaimer

Dr. Layne Norton: Tools for Nutrition & Fitness Andrew Huberman 2024-08-12 | In this episode, my guest is Dr. Layne Norton, Ph.D., one of the world’s top experts in nutrition and training for physical fitness. We discuss how to evaluate scientific evidence and the validity of different practices aimed at achieving fat loss, muscle strength and hypertrophy, microbiome health, vitality, and longevity.We explore many hotly debated topics, including fasting, seed oils, saturated fats, sugar, red meat, artificial/low-calorie sweeteners, and GLP-1 agonists (e.g., Ozempic). Additionally, we delve into the timing of protein and carbohydrate intake relative to fasting and exercise, fat loss and sleep, and the benefits of dietary protein and fiber on overall health.We also discuss how to accelerate hypertrophy and fat loss, improve strength, whether we need to train to “failure,” how to enhance exercise recovery, and how to manage pain. We cover training before versus after age 50, whether metabolism changes with age, and the connection between muscle health and longevity. We also address why certain behaviors and supplements might work for some people but not others.Listeners to this episode will benefit greatly from Layne’s science-based expertise on a wide range of topics, including health, nutrition, and fitness.Access the full show notes for this episode: hubermanlab.com/episode/dr-layne-norton-tools-for-nutrition-fitnessPre-order Andrew's new book, Protocols: protocolsbook.com*Thank you to our sponsors*AG1: drinkag1.com/hubermanMateina: drinkmateina.com/hubermanEight Sleep: eightsleep.com/hubermanMaui Nui: mauinuivenison.com/hubermanLMNT: drinklmnt.com/huberman*Huberman Lab Social & Website*Instagram: instagram.com/hubermanlab Threads: threads.net/@hubermanlabTwitter: twitter.com/hubermanlab Facebook: facebook.com/hubermanlab TikTok: tiktok.com/@hubermanlab LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/andrew-hubermanWebsite: hubermanlab.com Newsletter: hubermanlab.com/newsletter*Dr. Layne Norton*Website: biolayne.com REPS Research Review: biolayne.com/repsCarbon Diet Coach: joincarbon.com Books: biolaynestore.com/collections/accessories X: https://x.com/BioLayne Facebook: facebook.com/LayneNorton Instagram: instagram.com/biolayne TikTok: tiktok.com/@biolayne YouTube: youtube.com/@biolayne1*Timestamps*00:00:00 Dr. Layne Norton00:01:49 Sponsors: Mateina, Eight Sleep, Maui Nui00:06:39 Science-Based Evidence, Mechanism vs. Outcome00:14:31 Meta-analysis, Methods, Evidence Quality00:22:45 Evidence Hierarchy, Randomized Controlled Trials, Cohort Data00:33:53 Sponsor: AG100:35:05 “Don’t Turn Your Brain Off”; Protein Synthesis00:42:01 Protein Synthesis, Refractory Response; Resistance Training 00:46:05 Protein Intake, Intermittent Fasting & Training00:54:52 Tool: Total Protein Intake, Distribution & Protein Synthesis01:00:25 Muscle Quality, Protein Remodeling, Muscle Growth01:05:34 Sponsor: LMNT01:06:46 Early vs. Late Time-Restricted Eating; Fasting Blood Glucose & HbA1c01:10:30 Carbohydrate Timing, Individual Response, Placebo; Tool: Tracking Diet01:19:50 “The Norton Method”; Tool: Consistency01:25:16 Resistance & Cardiovascular Training; Competition; Immune System & Rest01:33:50 Mind & Body Effects, Stress; Belief Effects01:41:30 Training to Failure, Reps in Reserve, Hypertrophy & Strength Training01:50:24 Fatigue & Training to Failure, Speed, Strength Training01:59:06 Tool: Training After 50, Consistency02:09:12 Fat Cells, Diabetes, Exercise02:16:50 Metabolism & Age-Related Changes?, Appetite02:23:17 Ozempic, Mounjaro, GLP-1 Agonists, Lean Mass, “Food Noise”02:33:42 GLP-1 Agonists, Judgement & Obesity02:40:19 Sugar, Excess Calories, Body Weight02:49:16 Satiety, Sugar & Calorie Budget02:54:56 Tool: Individualization, Context & Diet Psychology02:57:22 Seed Oils, Butter, Olive Oil03:06:56 Red Meat, Carcinogenic?; Simple Diet; Fiber Benefits03:13:43 Saturated Fat, Cholesterol; Seed Oils03:18:41 Artificial & Low-Calorie Sweeteners, Insulin, Appetite03:29:06 Artificial & Low-Calorie Sweeteners, Gut Microbiome; Cancer03:37:58 Tools: Training Recovery, Glycogen Replenishment; Stress & Activity03:45:56 Collagen Supplementation, Skin & Nails, Whey Protein03:57:00 Evidence-Based Approach04:01:41 Zero-Cost Support, YouTube, Spotify & Apple Follow & Reviews, YouTube Feedback, Protocols Book, Social Media, Neural Network Newsletter#HubermanLab #Nutrition #Fitness Disclaimer: hubermanlab.com/disclaimer

Dr. Peter Attia: Supplements for Longevity & Their Efficacy Andrew Huberman 2024-07-29 | In this episode, my guest is Dr. Peter Attia, M.D., a Stanford and Johns Hopkins School of Medicine-trained physician expert in improving human healthspan and lifespan. Dr. Attia is also the host of The Drive podcast and author of the best-selling book Outlive. We discuss the NAD pathway in human cells and its possible links to aging and health. We evaluate how supplementation can augment molecules in the NAD pathway; we compare NAD, NMN, and NR, different routes of administration, their safety, and bioavailability. Then, we discuss the broader research and clinical literature on longevity to decide if supplementation with NAD, NR, NMN, rapamycin, or resveratrol can indeed extend lifespan. Finally, we each describe our supplement regimens and compare the role of supplementation to behaviors such as sleep, nutrition, and exercise for longevity. We also discuss whether tests of biological age are true indicators of aging and whether normal radiation levels increase cancer risk. Listeners of this episode will learn if supplements purported to improve lifespan show any efficacy and the behaviors and other factors that can prevent disease and extend lifespan.Access the full show notes for this episode: hubermanlab.com/episode/dr-peter-attia-supplements-for-longevity-their-efficacy*Thank you to our sponsors*AG1: drinkag1.com/huberman LMNT: drinklmnt.com/huberman Levels: https://levels.link/huberman Eight Sleep: eightsleep.com/huberman *Huberman Lab Social & Website*Instagram: instagram.com/hubermanlab Threads: threads.net/@hubermanlabTwitter: twitter.com/hubermanlab Facebook: facebook.com/hubermanlab TikTok: tiktok.com/@hubermanlab LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/andrew-hubermanWebsite: hubermanlab.com Newsletter: hubermanlab.com/newsletter*Dr. Peter Attia*Website: peterattiamd.com The Drive Podcast: peterattiamd.com/podcastNewsletter: peterattiamd.com/newsletterX: https://x.com/PeterAttiaMD Instagram: instagram.com/peterattiamd YouTube: youtube.com/c/PeterAttiaMD Facebook: facebook.com/peterattiamd *Timestamps*00:00:00 Dr. Peter Attia, NAD Pathway00:02:31 Sponsors: LMNT, Levels & Eight Sleep00:06:38 Categories of Longevity Approaches00:17:22 Peter’s Supplements; Rapamycin & Research Data00:25:01 NAD Pathway: Energy & DNA Repair; Knock-Out & Knock-In, Klotho00:30:35 Sponsor: AG100:32:25 Yeast, Sirtuins, Caloric Restriction & Lifespan00:38:56 Sirtuins, Transgenic Mice, Gender & Lifespan00:43:42 DNA Repair, Sirtuins, Cancer; Resveratrol00:53:31 Perform with Dr. Andy Galpin Podcast00:54:18 NAD & NADH, Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), Mitochondrial Health01:02:17 NAD vs NR vs NMN Supplementation; IV & Oral Routes01:11:33 NR vs. NMN, Doses, Side Effects; Interventions Testing Program01:17:43 Fatty Liver Disease & NR; NMN & Glucose; Clinical Significance01:25:17 Safety & FDA, NMN & NR Supplementation; Skin Cancer Benefits01:30:38 Longevity, NR & NMN Supplementation, Inflammation01:41:00 Rapamycin & Immune Function01:44:37 Biological Aging Tests, Chronologic & Biologic Age; Vigor 01:55:24 Radiation & Cancer Risk01:58:12 Tool: Self-Care in 50s-70s & Aging; Energy Decline02:07:12 Tool: Exercise Timing & Energy Levels02:11:22 Peter’s Supplements02:18:46 Andrew’s Supplements02:24:34 Tool: Supplement Use vs. Critical Behaviors; Titanic Analogy 02:26:52 NAD Pathway Supplementation for Longevity?02:28:52 Zero-Cost Support, YouTube, Spotify & Apple Follow & Reviews, YouTube Feedback, Social Media, Neural Network NewsletterTitle Card Photo Credit: Mike Blabac - blabacphoto.comDisclaimer: hubermanlab.com/disclaimer

Dr. Matthew Hill: How Cannabis Impacts Health & the Potential Risks Andrew Huberman 2024-07-08 | In this episode, my guest is Dr. Matthew Hill, a professor of cell biology and anatomy at the Hotchkiss Brain Institute at the University of Calgary and an expert on the biology of cannabis. We discuss how cannabis affects the brain to produce its psychoactive effects (feeling “high”), including altered time perception, focus, memory, appetite, and stress.We discuss how THC vs. cannabidiol (CBD) affects the brain, the effects of different routes of cannabis administration (e.g., smoking, vaping, edibles), high-potency THC, and whether cannabis is addictive. We discuss if there is a link between cannabis use and the development of psychosis, anxiety, bipolar depression, or schizophrenia. We discuss whether CBD has clinical benefits in regulating stress, promoting sleep, and treating certain diseases. We also discuss if there are real and consistent differences in the biological effects of different cannabis strains, if cannabis impacts hormones, and the uses of cannabis for the management of pain, stress, Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and nausea.Listeners of this episode will get an up-to-date understanding of what is currently known about how cannabis affects the brain and body, including both its potential benefits and risks.Access the full show notes for this episode at hubermanlab.com/episode/dr-matthew-hill-how-cannabis-impacts-health-the-potential-risksThank you to our sponsorsAG1: drinkag1.com/hubermanEight Sleep: eightsleep.com/hubermanLMNT: drinklmnt.com/hubermanBetterHelp: betterhelp.com/hubermanInsideTracker: insidetracker.com/hubermanHuberman Lab Social & WebsiteInstagram: instagram.com/hubermanlab Threads: threads.net/@hubermanlabTwitter: twitter.com/hubermanlab Facebook: facebook.com/hubermanlab TikTok: tiktok.com/@hubermanlab LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/andrew-hubermanWebsite: hubermanlab.com Newsletter: hubermanlab.com/newsletterDr. Matthew HillHotchkiss Brain Institute: hbi.ucalgary.ca/mist/team/research-chairUniversity of Calgary academic profile: profiles.ucalgary.ca/matthew-hillPublications: scholar.google.ca/citations?user=Q494JnAAAAAJ&hl=en&oi=aoLab website: http://www.hill-lab.caX: https://x.com/canna_brainTimestamps00:00:00 Dr. Matthew Hill00:00:00 Sponsors: Eight Sleep, LMNT & BetterHelp00:07:16 Cannabis, THC, Cannabidiol (CBD), Terpenes00:12:08 Psychoactive Effects, Cannabis “High”; Time Perception00:16:55 Cannabis & Brain, CB1 Receptor, Endocannabinoids00:26:19 Endocannabinoids Types: Anandamide, 2-AG00:33:46 “Munchies”, Cannabis & Appetite00:42:17 Sponsor: AG100:44:06 THC & Anandamide, Pharmacology00:52:37 THC & CB1 Receptors, Intoxication & Appetite00:58:57 Cannabis & Focus, Memory01:04:09 Routes of Administration, Concentration, Cannabis Research01:15:12 Self-Regulation, Inhalation & THC, Tolerance; THC Concentrates01:22:25 Sponsor: InsideTracker01:23:36 Addiction & Cannabis, Cannabis Use Disorder01:31:30 Cannabis Legalization & Use, Edibles & ER Visits01:36:48 Oral Consumption, Edibles, Dosing & Time Course01:41:12 Drug Testing & Cannabis, Exercise01:46:04 Cannabis & Hormones, Gynecomastia, Sperm Quality01:54:37 Cannabis & Pregnancy; Selling Recreational Cannabis02:04:07 Vaping02:07:05 Psychosis, Anxiety & Cannabis02:17:17 Cannabis, Psychosis, Schizophrenia & Genetics02:30:45 Cannabis Use & Schizophrenia, Manic Bipolar, THC Potency, Nicotine02:40:37 Schizophrenia, Cannabis Legalization02:45:06 Cannabis Strains, Indica, Sativa, Subjective Effects & Expectancy Bias02:57:00 CBD, Pediatric Epilepsy, Adenosine03:07:22 Entourage Effect; Placebo Effect, CBD & Doses03:19:12 Cannabis Health Risks, Cardiovascular Risk, Schizophrenia 03:27:08 Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome & Hot Shower03:31:30 Cannabis Benefits: Pain, Stress, Anxiety, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)03:40:18 Cannabis & Anxiety, Anandamide & Stress Response03:45:55 Scientific Discussion, Clarification & Advancement03:49:47 Zero-Cost Support, YouTube, Spotify & Apple Follow & Reviews, YouTube Feedback, Protocols Book, Social Media, Neural Network Newsletter#HubermanLab #ScienceTitle Card Photo Credit: Mike Blabac - blabacphoto.comDisclaimer: hubermanlab.com/disclaimer
How to Improve Skin Health & Appearance Andrew Huberman 2024-07-01 | In this episode, I discuss skin health appearance and why both are important indicators of the health status of your immune system, gut microbiome, and other organ systems. I explain why sunlight is essential for skin and hormone health and how excessive sunlight can accelerate skin aging and cause certain skin cancers. I discuss the different types of sunscreens (physical, chemical, and mineral-based) and potential health concerns of the chemicals found in some (but not all) sunscreens.I also discuss the importance of getting your skin (and not just moles) checked for pre-cancerous and cancer growths, the role of nutrition and lifestyle factors that improve skin health and appearance, and how to improve your skin by reducing local and systemic inflammation and supporting your microbiome. I explain what works to improve your skin's youthfulness and appearance, including reducing wrinkles, sagging, and pore size. I review the data on ingesting (or topically applied) collagen, vitamin C, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and retinol, and what is known about the use of peptides (e.g., BPC-157, copper peptides) and red and far-red light phototherapies for improving skin health and appearance.I also discuss the causes of acne, rosacea, and psoriasis and explain nutritional, skin care, and prescription-based approaches to treating these common skin conditions. This episode ought to help everyone better understand the biology of the skin and help them make the best possible decisions for their skin health, care, and appearance according to age, goals, and current skin conditions.Access the full show notes, including referenced articles, books, people mentioned, and additional resources: hubermanlab.com/episode/how-to-improve-skin-health-appearanceThank you to our sponsorsAG1: drinkag1.com/hubermanJoovv: joovv.com/hubermanBetterHelp: betterhelp.com/huberman ROKA: roka.com/huberman LMNT: drinklmnt.com/huberman Social & WebsiteInstagram: instagram.com/hubermanlab Threads: threads.net/@hubermanlabTwitter: twitter.com/hubermanlab Facebook: facebook.com/hubermanlab TikTok: tiktok.com/@hubermanlab LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/andrew-hubermanWebsite: hubermanlab.com Newsletter: hubermanlab.com/newsletterTimestamps00:00:00 Skin Health00:02:59 Sponsors: Joovv, BetterHelp & ROKA 00:07:18 Skin Biology, Skin Layers00:12:40 Sun Exposure, UV Light & Skin Cancers; Sunscreen00:19:51 Aging, Sun Exposure, Skin Cancers, Physical Barriers00:27:24 Sunburn & Skin Cancers00:30:09 Sponsor: AG100:31:58 Vitamin D, Sun Exposure & Sunscreen00:36:50 Organic (Chemical) Sunscreen & Inorganic (Mineral-Based) Sunscreen00:49:20 Skin Cancers, Moles, Laser Resurfacing00:53:59 Sponsor: LMNT00:55:34 Sun Exposure, Melanoma & Life Expectancy01:03:13 Tool: Youthful Skin, Collagen & Vitamin C01:12:55 Peptides, BPC-157, Copper01:20:58 Tool: Niacinamide (Nicotinamide), Youthful Skin, Dark Spots, Hyaluronic Acid01:26:25 Tool: Retinol (Retin-A, Tretinoin, Retinyl Esters), Youthful Skin01:33:07 Tool: Phototherapy, Youthful Skin, Treating Skin Conditions01:41:10 Tool: Nutrition for Skin Health, Anti-Inflammatory Diets01:47:54 Highly Processed Foods, Advanced Glycation End Products & Skin Health01:52:08 Tools: Reduce Inflammation: Gut Microbiome, Sleep, Alcohol, Smoking, Stress01:58:58 Acne, Hormones & Insulin; Tool: Low Glycemic Diet, Dairy02:07:26 Tools: Face Cleansing & Acne; Scarring & Popping Pimples02:13:29 Tool: Treating Rosacea, Alcohol, Skin Care, Nutrition02:18:31 Stubborn Rosacea, Over Cleansing, Pulsed Dye Laser02:21:04 Psoriasis Treatment, Immune System & Prescriptions02:25:24 Zero-Cost Support, YouTube, Spotify & Apple Follow & Reviews, YouTube Feedback, Protocols Book, Social Media, Neural Network Newsletter#HubermanLab #Health #SkinHealthTitle Card Photo Credit: Mike Blabac - blabacphoto.comDisclaimer: hubermanlab.com/disclaimer
Who Should Consider Fasting & Who Should Avoid It Andrew Huberman 2024-06-26 | Time-restricted feeding is just one approach to regulating food intake that many people find useful for weight loss, but others find it less useful than simply caloric restriction across a “normal” meal distribution.Of course, this is individual, but there are certain incentives to fasting that most people don’t consider. Dr. Gabrielle Lyon is the guest on the current Huberman Lab podcast, which is out now. She discusses some of the advantages of fasting as well as who should probably avoid fasting.During the episode, we discuss protein intake and sources and specific types of training for men and women as it relates to physical health and longevity of the body and brain. There’s also an extensive discussion about nutrition and supplementation and a discussion of different types of training, as well as essential takeaways about mindset for building lasting vigor and health.Disclaimer: hubermanlab.com/disclaimer

Dr. Zachary Knight: The Science of Hunger & Medications to Combat Obesity Andrew Huberman 2024-06-17 | In this episode, my guest is Dr. Zachary Knight, Ph.D., a professor of physiology at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), and Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) investigator. We discuss how the brain controls our sense of hunger, satiety, and thirst. He explains how dopamine levels impact our cravings and eating behavior (amount, food choices, etc) and how we develop and can change our food preferences and adjust how much we need to eat to feel satisfied. We discuss factors that have led to the recent rise in obesity, such as interactions between our genes and the environment and the role of processed foods and food combinations. We also discuss the new class of medications developed for the treatment of obesity and diabetes, including the GLP-1 agonists semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro). We discuss how these medications work to promote weight loss, the source of their side effects, and the newer compounds soon to overcome some of those side effects, such as muscle loss. Dr. Knight provides an exceptionally clear explanation for our sense of hunger, thirst, and food cravings that translates to practical knowledge to help listeners better understand their relationship to food, food choices, and meal size to improve their diet and overall health.

Dr. Jonathan Haidt: How Smartphones & Social Media Impact Mental Health & the Realistic Solutions Andrew Huberman 2024-06-10 | In this episode, my guest is Dr. Jonathan Haidt, Ph.D., professor of social psychology at New York University and bestselling author on how technology and culture impact the psychology and health of kids, teens, and adults. We discuss the dramatic rise of suicide, depression, and anxiety as a result of replacing a play-based childhood with smartphones, social media, and video games. He explains how a screen-filled childhood leads to challenges in psychological development that negatively impact learning, resilience, identity, cooperation, and conflict resolution — all of which are crucial skills for future adult relationships and career success. We also discuss how phones and social media impact boys and girls differently and the underlying neurobiological mechanisms of how smartphones alter basic brain plasticity and function. Dr. Haidt explains his four recommendations for healthier smartphone use in kids, and we discuss how to restore childhood independence and play in the current generation. This is an important topic for everyone, young or old, parents and teachers, students and families, to be aware of in order to understand the potential mental health toll of smartphone use and to apply tools to foster skill-building and reestablish healthy norms for our kids.Access the full show notes, including referenced articles, books, people mentioned, and additional resources: hubermanlab.com/episode/dr-jonathan-haidt-how-smartphones-social-media-impact-mental-health-the-realistic-solutionsThank you to our sponsorsAG1: drinkag1.com/huberman Helix Sleep: helixsleep.com/huberman AeroPress: aeropress.com/huberman Joovv: joovv.com/huberman LMNT: drinklmnt.com/huberman Huberman Lab Social & WebsiteInstagram: instagram.com/hubermanlab Threads: threads.net/@hubermanlabTwitter: twitter.com/hubermanlab Facebook: facebook.com/hubermanlab TikTok: tiktok.com/@hubermanlab LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/andrew-hubermanWebsite: hubermanlab.com Newsletter: hubermanlab.com/newsletterTimestamps00:00:00 Dr. Jonathan Haidt00:02:01 Sponsors: Helix Sleep, AeroPress & Joovv00:06:23 Great Rewiring of Childhood: Technology, Smartphones & Social Media00:12:48 Mental Health Trends: Boys, Girls & Smartphones00:16:26 Smartphone Usage, Play-Based to Phone-Based Childhood00:20:40 The Tragedy of Losing Play-Based Childhood00:28:13 Sponsor: AG100:30:02 Girls vs. Boys, Interests & Trapping Kids00:37:31 “Effectance,” Systems & Relationships, Animals00:41:47 Boys Sexual Development, Dopamine Reinforcement & Pornography00:49:19 Boys, Courtship, Chivalry & Technology; Gen Z Development00:55:24 Play & Low-Stakes Mistakes, Video Games & Social Media, Conflict Resolution00:59:48 Sponsor: LMNT01:01:23 Social Media, Trolls, Performance01:06:47 Dynamic Subordination, Hierarchy, Boys01:10:15 Girls & Perfectionism, Social Media & Performance01:14:00 Phone-Based Childhood & Brain Development, Critical Periods01:21:15 Puberty & Sensitive Periods, Culture & Identity01:23:55 Brain Development & Puberty; Identity; Social Media, Learning & Reward01:33:37 Tool: 4 Recommendations for Smartphone Use in Kids01:41:48 Changing Childhood Norms, Policies & Legislature01:49:13 Summer Camp, Team Sports, Religion, Music01:54:36 Boredom, Addiction & Smartphones; Tool: “Awe Walks”02:03:14 Casino Analogy & Ceding Childhood; Social Media Content02:09:33 Adult Behavior; Tool: Meals & Phones02:11:45 Regaining Childhood Independence; Tool: Family Groups & Phones02:16:09 Screens & Future Optimism, Collective Action, KOSA Bill02:24:52 Zero-Cost Support, Spotify & Apple Reviews, YouTube Feedback, Social Media, Neural Network Newsletter#HubermanLab #MentalHealthDisclaimer: hubermanlab.com/disclaimer

Dr. Diego Bohórquez: The Science of Your Gut Sense & the Gut-Brain Axis Andrew Huberman 2024-05-27 | In this episode, my guest is Dr. Diego Bohórquez, PhD, professor of medicine and neurobiology at Duke University and a pioneering researcher into how we use our ‘gut sense.’ He describes how your gut communicates to your brain and the rest of your body through hormones and neural connections to shape your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. He explains how your gut senses a range of features such as temperature, pH, the macro- and micronutrients in our foods, and much more and signals that information to the brain to affect our food preferences, aversions, and cravings. Dr. Bohórquez describes his early life in the Amazon jungle and how exposure to traditional agriculture inspired his unique expertise combining nutrition, gastrointestinal physiology, and neuroscience. We discuss how the gut and brain integrate sensory cues, leading to our intuitive “gut sense” about food, people, and situations. This episode provides a scientific perspective into your gut sense to help you make better food choices and, indeed, to support better decision-making in all of life.Access the full show notes, including referenced articles, books, people mentioned, and additional resources: hubermanlab.com/episode/dr-diego-bohorquez-the-science-of-your-gut-sense-the-gut-brain-axisThank you to our sponsorsAG1: drinkag1.com/huberman Joovv: joovv.com/huberman LMNT: drinklmnt.com/huberman Helix Sleep: helixsleep.com/huberman InsideTracker: insidetracker.com/huberman Huberman Lab Social & WebsiteInstagram: instagram.com/hubermanlab Threads: threads.net/@hubermanlabTwitter: twitter.com/hubermanlab Facebook: facebook.com/hubermanlab TikTok: tiktok.com/@hubermanlab LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/andrew-hubermanWebsite: hubermanlab.com Newsletter: hubermanlab.com/newsletterDr. Diego BohórquezAcademic profile: https://medicine.duke.edu/profile/diego-v-bohorquez Lab website: gutbrains.com The Gastronauts Podcast: thinkgastronauts.com/podcastPublications: gutbrains.com/articlesX: https://x.com/gutbrains YouTube: youtube.com/@thebohorquezlabatdukeunive9762TED Talk: youtu.be/utFG8GEvmfgNature Neuroscience profile: nature.com/articles/s41593-023-01373-w Timestamps00:00:00 Dr. Diego Bohórquez00:02:37 Sponsors: Joovv, LMNT & Helix Sleep; YouTube, Spotify & Apple Subscribe00:06:49 Gut-Brain Axis 00:11:35 Gut Sensing, Hormones00:15:26 Green Fluorescent Protein; Neuropod Cells & Environment Sensing00:26:57 Brain & Gut Connection, Experimental Tools & Rabies Virus00:35:28 Sponsor: AG100:37:00 Neuropod Cells & Nutrient Sensing00:43:55 Gastric Bypass Surgery, Cravings & Food Choice00:51:14 Optogenetics; Sugar Preference & Neuropod Cells01:00:29 Gut-Brain Disorders, Irritable Bowel Syndrome01:03:03 Sponsor: InsideTracker01:04:04 Gut & Behavior; Gastric Bypass, Cravings & Alcohol01:07:38 GLP-1, Ozempic, Neuropod Cells01:11:46 Food Preference & Gut-Brain Axis, Protein01:21:35 Protein & Sugar, Agriculture & ‘Three Sisters’01:25:16 Childhood, Military School; Academics, Nutrition & Nervous System01:36:15 Plant Wisdom, Agriculture, Indigenous People01:41:48 Evolution of Food Choices; Learning from Plants01:48:15 Plant-Based Medicines; Amazonia, Guayusa Ritual & Chonta Palm01:56:58 Yerba Mate, Chocolate, Guayusa02:00:22 Brain, Gut & Sensory Integration; Variability02:06:01 Electrical Patterns in Gut & Brain, “Hangry”02:12:43 Gut Intuition, Food & Bonding; Subconscious & Superstition02:22:00 Vagus Nerve & Learning, Humming02:26:46 Digestive System & Memory; Body Sensing02:32:51 Listening to the Body, Meditation02:40:12 Zero-Cost Support, Spotify & Apple Reviews, YouTube Feedback, Sponsors, Social Media, Neural Network Newsletter#HubermanLab #GutHealth #Science Title Card Photo Credit: Mike Blabac - blabacphoto.comDisclaimer: hubermanlab.com/disclaimer

Protocols to Strengthen & Pain Proof Your Back Andrew Huberman 2024-04-29 | In this episode, I explain how to strengthen and build a stable, pain-free back and how to reduce or eliminate existing back pain. I explain the anatomy and physiology of the spinal cord and vertebrae, intervertebral disks and nerve pathways, and the abdominal and back muscles that together can be leveraged to stabilize the back. Then, I describe protocols: “McGill’s Big 3” exercises, a highly effective psoas stretch, abdominal stabilization, breathing techniques, and protocols to reinforce essential supports for the back, including the neck, pelvis, feet and toes.
