I'm 27, male, from Indonesia. Just wanna say following the podcasts have cured my insomnia, improved my productivity, and helped me in my creative process! Thank you for your insights and dedication, Dr. Huberman! 😄
Gabriel Surija I am hoping to get the same results as you... I am bipolar, so insomnia has just been a way of life for me, but hopefully now I can try some new tools instead of sleep meds.
@@violetszilvas9938 I had really bad insomnia last spring. I followed all of Andrew's tips and I started doing high intensity skipping rope 2-3 times a week, 20-30 min sessions. My insomnia is gone, good luck with yours.
@@VaibhavSrivastava15 after breakfast or after lunch works best for me. Evening workout sessions tend to keep me up at night. You have to experiment to see what works best for you.
@@markmui Evening workouts didn't suit me as well, but it was the only time I could do it. In mornings, I do 1-1.5 hr yoga/meditation routine, so I think ill give afternoon a try. Thanks!
I do in parts sometimes. as the episodes are quite long it is not possible to go over everything multiple times. thought like audio books listening twice at 2x does help.
Topic request: Another episode like this delving deeper into chronic pain; fibromyalgia, myofascial, RSI etc. and the frontier treatment options for those traditional therapies didn’t work. Perhaps a deeper dive with your colleagues with fibromyalgia will be super useful. Have a friend with severe chronic pain and it’s so sad to see him bed ridden and so depressed. Your podcasts is awesome and thank you for your work.
@@scottyg5403 I wil happy if you could refer me to good links with info on Dr Sarno and Dr Ratner work. Im suffering from severe fibromyalgia. I will happy to find and learn anything that could help me. TNX in advance
Love seeing this channel grow - No one deserves a noble prize more than he does - His choice to serve humanity in the way he does is rare - His gift of explaining this information is also rare - so anyone who shares his links , spreads the word of what he teaches helps him reach the world and make it a better place - hit that like and share please - the planet needs this !
Your greatest Costello fan. Have been listening to you religiously since your first podcast. I am a conservator/restorer of cultural heritage, based in Florence, Italy. I listen to you whilst working on scaffoldings restoring ancient wall paintings. Not sure what fascinates me more, my work or your words. Grazie e bravo.
@@hubermanlab restoration is a combination of chemistry, physics and philosophy. We train our eyes to see what others perceive, neuroplasticity is key to achieve this. Your podcast helps me better understand my profession. Thank you for this.
Out here from the Detroit area, building fences all winter listening to these podcasts. Utilizing all this information has made it possible to get through the winter with ease. My performance in skateboarding has increased tremendously also.. thank you so much for these videos!
My uncle lost his hearing in 2019 and was completely deaf for a year. He got a cochlear implant in June of 2020 and he can hear better than he's ever heard in his life. Love science and love this podcast 💪🏼❤💪🏼
Kyle, Thank you for sharing that. I’m always delighted to hear when neuroscience studies eventually lead to reduced suffering and positively enhanced experience. The cochlear implant is a remarkable feat. Thank you for your feedback as well. Best wishes, Andrew
I am a medical student getting into the medical working field in 2 years time. While I get heart broken and emotionally distressed being away from family & not helping them in their suffering during Covid , I am fortunate for this particular podcast for coming out now when I wish from my bottom of my heart to be able to channel the pain towards keeping active -in my accumulation of knowledge, in maintaining & improving mental health & in being a support to others out there. I got a previous background in academia & dare I say I love how concepts are outlined & showcased to the wider public. Thank you!
As a hypnotherapist and life coach I work with the subconscious and have helped many clients free themselves from past trauma that have kept them stuck in depression, anxiety and PTSD. The subconscious constantly is being triggered and past events or trauma plays out over and over again running the same program falsely keeping them safe. It's incredible to see the change, it's like they have unlocked the blockage and find freedom to move past the trauma. I love your channel thank you.
I am Ten years in recovery, which can challenging at times particularly over the past year. I am learning so much about my brain body relationship. It’s absolutely enlightening and I am so grateful for your generosity of time and effort. Thank you all the way from London.
Thank you so much for your feedback and interest in learning about the mind-body relationship through the lens of neuroscience. I am always so impressed by people who have worked through recovery. I plan to do a month related to addiction and recovery, trauma healing etc. I’m planning to host some amazing experts from the medical field. To discuss the research but also what’s emerging on the horizon. Best wishes, Andrew
@@lalalee8728 I'm not a doctor but from what i've come to learn thru therapy, reading, and own experience, there definitely are various forms of trauma and trauma can be physical, emotional, spiritual, sexual, etc.
You should try Lex Friedman's Podcast!! Huberman was a guest two times. It is far more diverse and covers many topics you can choose from. It is different than this one in the point that it consists of interviews/conversations rather than this alone and presenting form Huberman does (so far)
@@christophsteck531 Yes I follow him. But i like the prepared way of presenting information more than a freely spoken podcasts. I think Lex is talking about theories a lot and Huberman is mainly presenting facts.
A week ago, I started to feel to have low energy, but nothing has changed with my daily routine, I meditate, go to work, do yoga, etc. Then I realized that 2 weeks ago, my puppy was neutered, which limited his activity and we didn't do our normal 15-30min walks twice daily. Now that he is healed, we are back to our daily walking routine and my energy level is back. So even though I am going to work, doing meditation, yoga, etc, I found that doing the low intensity exercise of walking daily has its own health benefits, I did not realize until I stop doing it. Thanks Andrew for so much helpful information.
As someone who's had brain / neck injuries in the past and is always trying to optimize, I am really grateful for this. A great mix of scientific evidence and practical application. Thanks!
I don't have injures, thank God, but I'm suffering from a strong chronic joint/muscle pain, which is caused by an autoimmune disease. Nothing worked for me, not drugs, not physio-therapy, not meditation etc. Only COLD showers. That procedure alone had reduced my pain significantly, in about two weeks. I'm now well into the second year of the WH-method. Very happy I discovered it.
Metodę leczenia ciepłem drobnych i większych ran na dłoniach, nogach odkryłam w wieku 5-6 lat. Intuicyjnie "przytulam" ranę do ciepłej kuchni, pieca kaflowego, które w latach sześćdziesiątych były dostępne w naszych domach- rany na początku krwawiły, ale ból znikał i rana goiła się bardzo szybko. Może to efekt placebo, ale działał lepiej, niż mama z okładami lodu. Słucham wykładów z uwagą. Dziękuję Grażyna
I’m an Indian residing in Malaysia. About that turmeric part... I have to say that turmeric grows in my backyard, in the ground and in some pots. I don’t fertilize or care for it much. Just dig into the roots whenever I need some for my rendang etc. It is naturally dark orange and has always been. It’s like your wild blueberries, nobody’s adding heavy metal contaminants!
6 years ago, I made the right decision despite the "med" experts point of views which did not understand my iunjuries / no pill / no surgery ... everyday actions with faith until today ... what a great machine we are !!!
I just can’t think of my day without listening to you Sir, I just wait every morning after my workout to plug in and listen to you talk. I have learnt so much from your talks. I am a home maker and interested in science a lot and these talks make my day so much more enriched and honestly they have made me a better person , not to sound philosophical at all. I am from India and your evidence based talks only make me appreciate my culture so much more as some of these things are very deep rooted in here. I was very dismissive of so many things that I have seen growing up but your talks have made me a accept them as I have always been a person looking out for scientific evidence. Thank you so much for what you do so selflessly and wishing you good health and happiness ( the most precious commodities on our planet)
I have been suffering back pains for years caused by herniated disks and other back conditions. I have recently discovered Prof Staurt McGill and have already been reading his books and incorporating his exercise recommendations and lifestyle changes in my daily activities. I think an episode with him will greatly benefit a lot of people, as well as myself, who exercise for years and lead an ultra healthy lifestyle, but yet suffer back pains greatly. Thank you for your great work. We are your committed fans. Watching your podcasts everyday.
Dear Dr Huberman I am honored to consider myself one the oldest student of ( huberman univercity ) As for the breathing method mentioned in your podcast. I have practiced yoga all my life but started classical yoga taught by @ Sadhguru at Isha foundation, an was amazed how various breathing can help to not just improve the health of body and mind but increasing power of healing. 1- in 2006 I fell and broke my wrist and elbow, didn’t require any pain med ( I was well I’ve 60 ) they both healed well. 2- 2012 had hypothyroidism by increasing the time of one particular meditation, never needed meditation. 3- 2018 fell and had torn meniscus in both knees because of my age was recommended to have total knee surgery. But by practicing yoga and meditation my knees function well and I can do my yoga practice without any difficulty. Breathing you talked about is part of my meditation daily which I do in the morning/ noon ( because position of earth 🌏 ) and 9 pm I eat one meal a day and have no issues with hunger either. 😀🙏🏽
I don’t have Instagram, Facebook or Twitter, I find it all incredibly distracting, and it all seems geared to consumerism!!🙈 Thank goodness for RUclips and this podcast!!!🙏🏽✌🏽
I really agree with you. Since finding Dr Huberman I am spending so much more on his videos and ignoring others. But I do like his IG page. You just have to be careful not to get sucked into the IG distractions...not easy
Can you talk about ADHD please. What it actually is doing to the brain?, and any tips for helping cope with it? Also if there’s any way to help rewire the brain or use neuroplasticity to help minimise the effects of ADHD? This is something I’ve struggled with my whole life and is a massive issue for me and my actions/thoughts so any tips or information would be amazing. Also thanks for starting this amazing podcast. The information and delivery from yourself is truly remarkable and a blessing for all. Thanks for all the hours of podcasts you have provide with us so far, truly life changing. Such a blessing to have you do this. You are the f’ing man 💙
I strained my knee and treated it different then my strained ankles. 30 years ago I got tapes for 6 weeks and hence a weak food after. even every change of position was a maneuver i decided without I looked for exercises online and started slowly and carefully on day 2. my first attempt to balance on day 5 wasn't good but everything gets better remarkably each day. after a week I found scientific confirmation in this podcast of what I am doing. I would love to encourage everyone in need. It is not just about rest and ice I just put it on right after the accident in the care of the paramedics.
Your podcasts on sleep mark the first time anyone has given me helpful advice- and I’ve seen several specialists. Also, I don’t find your voice at all annoying as that person you were in a class with did. I find it soothing- and often fall asleep in the middle of the podcast.
@@владимирмелешко-ф5д he’s a scientist and scientists are the ones that find the cures and treatments for these diseases, as a neuroscientist he studies neurology extensively
I've had tears in my rotator cuff and hip labrum. Got PRP injected into both, and both repaired quickly. As a result, I'm a huge fan of PRP and try to spread the word. Thank you for your most excellent, helpful information.
To think. Another neuroscientist has a platform to educate the world, and in part thanks to Rogan! We love everything you do Dr. huberman, thank you so much for spreading your knowledge on a digestible manner. I have benefitted massively since you started this podcast. Keep it coming!
Professor Huberman … thank you so much. I’ve said it in other videos but I still can’t believe just how rich, helpful & informative these lectures/podcasts are. You are helping so many. All blessings on you and yours 🙌
@57:00 As physical therapists, we use functional dry needling with electrical stimulation frequently as a modulator for pain and creating changes in the muscles and in the nervous system to allow for reinforcement of movement patterns that were painful before with progressive reloading afterwards.
Hi Andrew, thank you for highlighting TBI. March is brain injury awareness month - we love serving this community of TBI warriors in their post-acute rehabilitation.
I'm so looking forward to hearing more about migraine. Thank you so much for bringing the spotlight of science onto the good and the bad of the wellness industry. Really appreciate the time and effort you put in to sharing your knowledge and that of worthy others.
Had a friend have a horrible injury, who broke his neck, became a quadriplegic, last year he climbed his first 14k' mountain, and had a baby and is walking today. Neuro-plactisity is amazing.
Huberman's podcasts have helped me so much in my own personal growth journey! I would hate to think of where I might still be if it weren't for people such as himself and Jordan B Peterson being free to listen to on such platforms, educating us all beyond any measure that a school system could teach upon. I am and will forever be grateful for the information that we have access to in this day and age. Thank you to the brilliant minds that share their knowledge with the world. Thank you Dr Huberman.
Tools for reducing pain are: 01.) get infatuated/”obsessed” with someone and look at their picture 02.) get deep sleep / feet elevated / sleeping on one side 03.) do low level cardio 3x / week 04.) try acupuncture, but treat the right pathway, otherwise it will make the pain worse 05.) stimulation of feet & hands can reduce inflammation 06.) don´t use Turmeric (it´s contaminated with lead and acute inflammation is good) 07.) heat is better than cold for injuries 08.) restrict the injury above and below 09.) maintain movement 10.) “chronic pain is plasticity gone wrong” → get more red light by more sunlight exposure → preferably naked but without getting arrested 11.) injecting blood from young people will rejuvenate the body (but you have to figure out how/where to get it yourself)
Thank you for the new episode ! I‘ve read few books about Holocaust survivors, and listening to your podcast today, got the confirmation that certain humans can go through challenges more further because of their mindset 🦋
Thank you Andrew.... I get goosebumps thinking about the service you are providing. I've been a shift worker and you have empowered me with some agency. Anyone reading this take good notes on these episodes? The episodes all need there own personal cliff notes edition lol
You have saved me. I had stage 4 ov ca and many obstructions in colon , stomach, gastric bypass, and suffer SEVERE neural pain. Luke tooth ache in my body. I am only 60 and was very fit. I still try and do whatever I can, weights, walking, gentle spinning. Am so so tired of pain op ….. cannot carry on with targinact, arcoxia, pethedine. It talked me away from my life and my wonderful young surfer parter. But THANK YOU
Monday again...yes! 👍I am slow in following all the episodes but it 's so nice to know a new one is coming. And I am sure it will be great. 1000 Thx 🙏🙏🙏😊
I suffered from chronic pain after one botched back surgery led to 10 more surgeries. I ended up on opiates for 22 years. Now I’m dealing with huge dopamine issues. Your videos have helped me understand so much. Thank you. Btw, after coming off opiates I now have very little chronic pain.
As ever, thank you for your amazing contribution to our collective understanding. I appreciate the time and effort you've obviously invested in this podcast.
Thank you Dr Huberman for talking about PRP. I have a dysplastic hip that shows all the degenerative symptoms including pain, progressively restricted movements, and tension in the hip. There were episodes when I felt the pain during the night. After being able to make an X ray and find a proficient orthopedic doctor something like 1 year since the aggravation of the state I was offered to have injected a triple PRP in the hip together with ozone and hyaluronic acid. I was making some research and was aware that it is quite a new method, even for where I live in Sothern Europe it is completely mind-blowing to find a doctor that is skillful for such an intervention. I was willing to try since the other option for hip replacement is not yet considered or at least it is highly recommended to wait for quite some time if possible like 15 years. With the pain that is always present after longer walk and sometime during the night, I decided to accept the treatment in August 2020. So far I may say only subjectively that eventually the pain span time that still occurs after longer walks tends to be lesser than prior to the injection. Unfortunately, I couldn't make any physical rehabilitation treatment but will see this summer if at least the state was preserved as close as possible to one of the last years since basically, this is the goal until the moment of hip replacement. You mentioned the umbilical cord blood. I have preserved the umbilical cord blood of my daughter so in 5 years we should decide whether to still keep it...would you know some reliable sources on this topic and maybe some other information on who can use this blood if needed. It is sure it is kept in case of need for my daughter and I always hope she never reaches any state to need it. However, I would be grateful to know for her to decide later if she may like to donate it and if it is only the same blood type person that can use it or any other in need.
I've been so extra excited all week for this topic and can hardly wait until the afternoon when I'm free to listen! I'm always talking about and sharing what I learn in these podcasts and other interviews, so to say I'm extra excited is saying a lot! I've been deep into mindbody pain (and non-pain) syndromes for the past year. Personally I have completely cured my chronic hip pain, avoided needless surgery, and am back to endurance running pain free because of this knowledge. I'm very passionate about increasing awareness of this subject because of how it changed my life and seeing the latest research on it has me hopeful. I'll be taking tons of notes tonight!
Thanks again Andrew. I’d love to see an in depth discussion as to the power of belief in overcoming illness/injury as I understand it’s a very powerful component but hard to quantity. Going into detail in placebo/nocebo and the work of people like Dr. John Sarno who helped people overcome back pain (a mental component that caused real pain in people).
I love how he Tackles Eastern Practices with a Scientific point of view, Than Arguably by the end gives a twist on Qanon and legit Reasons where rumors arise from.
Makes a lot of sense. Soviet professor of sport science V. N. Seluyanov mentioned that a lot in his lectures how training bigger muscle groups during injuries helps to heal faster due to hormones release when training. Thank you for sharing
I am truly grateful for your dedication to share your knowledge with us 🙏❤ On the TBI month, I would really appreciate if you covered brain fatigue (caused by TBI or other things). How, why and what to do to recover.
I get to learn from great professors without paying any money or going to a prestigious university to learn all these things. Thanks to Huberman and the internet.
Thank you very much for this Andrew. I’ve been suffering from chronic pain for 5 years now, although it’s much less severe and much more manageable. Ironically, it never crossed my mind to incorporate low intensity exercise for extended periods of time. I’ve always pushed my workouts. It’s no wonder I have found moments of relief after being on the bike for extended periods of time. I do suspect there is also a psychological component to this as I developed a certain fear of movement, which has definitely not helped my condition. From experience, I can say that I’ve definitely perceived a vicious cycle, where one injury led to deep negativity of thoughts, which then led to further issues with the body. How in the world do you break out of these things? I guess for some of us, “management” is the best option we have. Thank you for your knowledge and excellent scholarship!
Ed, check out RUclips channel "Pain Free You". Information on chronic pain is GOLD. Don't manage it when you can heal it. There are also some great books such as "Unlearn Your Pain" by Dr. Howard Schubiner. I was disabled with terrible constant pain for 12 years. Now I'm 75% improved and living life, and I know I'll reach 100% soon. Best wishes!
Hi, there's a Facebook group called, 'Tell me about your pain' with psychotherapist Alan Gordon. He teaches pain reprocessing techniques that replace fear and anxiety about pain with messages of safety to the brain. It's part of the curable app.
As every other episode great stuff. I am becoming a better version of myself with every episode. I am trying to apply everithing that is relevant to me and I cant wait for the next one.
Thank you for touching on TBI. I’m 8 months out from 2 consecutive concussions and still not better. Looking forward to the month on TBI. Appreciate you!
Hang in there. It will get better. I went through something like that 3+ years ago. It was brutal, but I am doing well now. You will too. It takes time. I just wish I had been given all this info when I was seeing my doctors. They didn't tell me any of this. Its unfortunate. Be kind to yourself, cut yourself slack. You deserve it. You are doing great!
@@andreaabrahamson4093 thank you so much for your kind words, it really makes a difference to know I’m not alone and to help maintain hope of getting better. It’s truly a struggle!
I, and likely every other person suffering from long term chronic pain, would very much appreciate a conversation with any expert that have devoted a significant amount of time to researching this complicated topic. Thank you for your consideration! I've listened to both of the podcasts that have covered some of this topic, great episodes! - Control Pain & Heal Faster with Your Brain How to Control Your Sense of Pain & Pleasure
My god, I love myself so much right now :)) I was just removed of a cast of 6 weeks because I broke my dominant arm. And I insisted all the time to keep operating it as much as I could. Intuitively, I had that notion of atrophy in mind, and thinking that I want my recovery period after removal to be as short as possible, I wanted to give my brain the message that the whole system is balanced and I made a point to use my broken arm as much as I could, of course without hurting it. For example I continued doing my running and resistance exercise, incorporating the arm as much as I could. Doc said my x-rays are showing very quick rebuilding of the bone. And now that my cast is off, I feel like I'm getting back to the usual "feel" of the arm very quickly. This is SO RELEVANT to me right now :)
Hi Andrew, I'd be interested to hear any methods for overcoming addiction. Are there ways we can hack our brain function to alleviate cravings? Having a degree of control over how and when Dopamine is released seems to be pretty crucial to the learning process so methods to help gain control over that would be really useful.
AJ, look into Neurofeedback, if you haven’t already. I struggled with pornography since 12. I’m 33 now and started direct Neurofeedback with a therapist as well we use active Neurofeedback. I haven’t had any craving since December. We began treatment in October. Hope it helps .
I used alot of the stuff Andrew teaches without knowing I was doing it. My comment regarding the 29 minute mark above speaks to one of the things that helped. I've overcome several chemical addictions and altered a great deal of my physical, mental, and emotional habits and outlooks at the same time
@@hubermanlab Hi Andrew! I have a question about ADHD. You've spoken about the importance of dopamine and it's effects. Can you please speak to the theory of ADHD being an effect of dopamine deficiency and how one with ADHD might increase dopamine levels on an ongoing basis? Thanks in advance for any advice and thanks for the great work you do!
Dear Andrew Huberman, thank you so, so, so much for your absolutely wonderful podcasts. I could stay home all day every day watching and learning from you and your interesting guests. You are truly a treasure. Thank you for all the hard work that goes in to producing such quality work.
Hi Prof. Huberman, you have not mentioned anything about how social and/or intimate contact impacts our health and recovery. This is tremendously important, esp. nowadays. Loneliness is the disease of our century.
he mentions oxytocin's impact on health in other episodes, the chemical is released after 20 mins of hugging/snuggling. This occurs between humans as well as dogs! There are many factors that contribute to the neuromodulator's upregulation. Obviously having a strong social bond (establishment in the tribe) will aid in homeostasis and neurostasis as well.
Thank you for the amazing information. I am 70 Yo., broke my wrist, currently doing PT, and experiencing a lot of pain. After the first session, I was told to do a contrast bath of 4 min. with warm water and 2 min, with cold water. The pain I experienced when first putting my hand in the cold water was excruciating but I continued for the 4 reps. Afterward, I was pain-free. Subsequently, I tried the cold packs without much success in pain relief. What has helped is doing the contrast bath, one basin of warm water for 3 min,, one basin of cold water for 1 min. for two reps. I did not experience the same excruciating pain that I felt with the first session but do have pain relief that NSAIDS and a cold pack did not provide.
you may not see this but i wanted to say thank you SO much for you and your videos. the mind (especially neuroscience) is something i am extremely fascinated with but i avoided learning more as i struggled with science at school. this resulted in thinking that it was too difficult and put me off ever learning/studying. i am now in my 30s and through discovering you/your work i feel like i actually do understand more than i realised and know anything is possible for me, plus the the weight of perceiving myself as less intelligent has lifted. thank you ❤️
Truly an honor you put this online. I share all your information with the people I know. Still waiting on Andrew Huberman, Lex Fridman, Eric Weinstein, Jordan Peterson, Michael Malice, Tim Dillon, and Joe Rogan all in one podcast please!!
Hello Huberman Lab Podcast! Thank you so much for your generous wisdom on the nervous system. Huberman Lab Postcast is 5 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. My questions are about exploring and explaining more about the process of radial glia in neural mapping and neural development, glymphatic dysfunctions as the root of neuro degenerative disorders, glymphatic drainage implications in focal cortical seizures, the pia glial interface, CSF drainage impairments in autism and sensory processing and manual therapy techniques that attend to CSF drainage, CSF flow, and strain patterns in the meninges. Thank you!!!! Elizabeth
I have only recently discovered you but i want to let you know how much i appreciate you sharing your knowledge with me / everyone. i just wanted to tell you my experience with a blood transfusion. of course it's only anecdotal, but that is where many ideas start, i suppose. So in the summer of 2003, when the hospital gave me a transfusion, i got the whole bag! perhaps 2 bags. I was simply very anemic -- low red blood cells. this happened gradually, over time. I was told i was a little anemic while i was pregnant with my 5th child (i remember this because i had to spend her 1st birthday in the hospital). so anyway, i was unaware how anemic i had become (over the past 18 months or so); basically i had no idea why i couldn't even walk across my small living room without having to grab a wall and lower my head closer to my knees to avoid completely passing out. Sorry for carrying on, i would just give you the numbers if i remembered them. like ?? 15 was good, i was down to 5, so they wanted to shoot for 12 with "new blood." one nurse told me my blood was pink, not red, lol. Needless to say, i was blessed to go from a 2 to a 9.5 in my energy level and just feeling GREAT! the strange thing was, my first night sleep in the hospital, all hopped up on some random A+ blood, i had amazing dreams like i hadn't had since i was a child. i had completely forgotten that i used to fly in my dreams, it hadn't happened in so many years. But that night, in my dreams, of course, i flew for what felt like days. I am certain that i received some very special blood; that some lovely spiritual person donated their precious red cells and blessed me with my gift again --- flying and lucid dreaming. And i still fly most every night 25 years later. --- I really appreciate you, Andrew, the way you can be all scientific and still be aligned with Spirit, at least in acknowledging "top down" as you call it -- simply put, mind-body medicine. I know very well i'm responsible for my choices and talk to my doctor and all that, but I HANG ON EVERY WORD when i watch you video. and i know finding your podcast on youtube was no accident. THANK YOU for what you do. Your lessons are absolutely FASCINATING!
I had been looking for a podcast on neuroscience for some time, so thanks for making the best one out there. I have an interest in getting a master's in the field and all the content you put out has been helping me a lot. Thanks!
Truly.. Can't thank you enough. There are no words to convey the benefit that your knowledge & sharing publicly (that knowledge) has had on the masses. I am constantly passing on the information i am guided to know & you have been "information overload." It takes me about 3 to 4 times of listening to the podcast (taking notes when life tasks permit) but after that.....Stuck like Chuck 👍. Again, a massive "Thank You" from myself & the Masses who are benefiting.
Thanks Andrew for another enlightening podcast, i'm working my way through an online course with Dr Sarah McKay which is wonderful (you recommended her work to me) - so thanks for that, it is great to be working through her course and listening to you every Mondays! I'm learning so much
Zone 2 exercise for help with TBI, got it! I start to get headaches and neck pain if I overdo it exercising and exploring zone 2 exercise makes a huge difference!
In his book, Viktor Frankl wrote that he survived in terrible circumstances by helping other people, keeping his sense of humor and thinking about his wife, hoping that they're gonna meet again. Love is a real power. Maybe that's why lonely people are much vulnerable. Thank you!
I love that you make these videos 90 minutes! Also, I have to say that i'm really impressed with this whole podcast. Currently i'm taking some subjects in university, and because of covid they are all online classes. The funny thing is that your free lectures on RUclips are more engaging, more structured and it is even easier to plan my viewing of these videos than my Uni lectures. You are even using the science you teach about to make these lectures as wonderful they are, which make your teaching trustworthy and instantly relatable. Thank you Andrew, sincerely! Btw, I have a suggestion! For us that study psychology, could you please write down the different terms that are directly related to your topics, and put them in the description? I know I could just write them down as you talk, but personally I much prefer to just listen and think, then process and organize the information afterwards :)
This is probably the best thing about the internet - it gives us this amazing opportunity to enjoy beauty of science and enables absolutely EVERYONE to develop a general understanding of scientific process and specific topics to a degree that was just recently only available to selected elites. This podcast alone is pure art. Lots of episodes ahead of me, I have no words to describe how excited I am! With regard to injury healing processes I recall Bret Weinstein discussing how his son broke his arm and after medical aasessment they decided to not put the cast on and allow their son to carefully use broken limb. They came to that decision based on evolutionary thinking and here we have a perfect explanation of mechanism at work 👌 I would love to see you and Bret in a conversation, I feel like there will be many instances where your field of study and Bret's evolutionary insights would come to similar conclusions. Thank you for doing this amazing work!
Hi Andrew, I absolutely love this podcast 😊 thanks for today’s episode- I have a request related to this topic. I have severe endometriosis and live with frequent chronic pain, I also run a business which is quite mentally stressful. Could you give advice on learning to increase your endurance for things like this. I know you work a lot with members of the special forces who must obviously have huge resilience to stress and suffering, are there any things that us regular people could do to develop more of that type of resilience. I’d also love to hear any knowledge you have on how things like menstruation, menopause and hormonal contraceptives impact the brain
I read an article that having arrhythmia/heart murmur affects you rhythmically. I then connected that with why I can never sing on beat. It doesn't come naturally. My timing is always off in music and sports and it really affects my efforts in improvement.
Could you speak on floaters in the eye? What causes them? Why sometimes they appear to flare up and at other times one can't see them? Can they be cured/removed? P.s I've listened to every episode and I've been recommending this to all my family and friends! I love it
Glymphatic! That’s why, as soon as I feel like I’m falling asleep, I get burning in back of skull, neck, kidneys, bladder, bowels, ears (liquid like). Not when I lie down, but actually feel sleepy. As I wake up, these “fluids” start to shift and flow. I stopped a medication, and it got better. My glymphatic system was cleaning house!
Hi Andrew! Thanks for creating this amazing channel: tons of useful information to apply in everyday life. Your mission in delivering this information to a young generation is especially important, I think. Hence, as a mother of a teenager who is not good in managing his time effectively and efficiently, I wanted to suggest the topic for future episodes: what neurological mechanisms behind procrastination are and how to master the science of small steps. Recently, my son had the whole week to complete his assessments in High School. Nevertheless, he did nothing until the last day. As a result, his performance was much weaker, than it could be. He also got very frustrated, for he had no time to finish his last assessment. I believe many teenagers would benefit from the discussion of this topic. Thank you very much!
The experience of pain, and how we cope with it in the moment can also really be exemplified through the experience of childbirth, which I’ve done three times without intervention. I was lucky enough to have a Doula who coached me in pain management and showed me through the process that it’s the bodies natural wayof delivering a human being onto the planet, so the concept of pain gets reframed as sensation. I found this very helpful and carried it into other times of my life where I’ve had to endure physical pain.
I just wanna thank you for indirectly helping me with my work. I'm an English teacher and my students are mostly neurologists and psychiatrists and these really help me not only learn the English terms, but there's also a fine balance in your explanations between theory and the pragmatic aspect of the information. Sometimes I think that you've overlooked a detail, covered something too superficially, but by the end of the episode, I realize it's just concise and I wanna commend your ability to distinguish what's important from...just superfluous details that only a doctor would benefit. Yeah, you take into account that your average listener is a layman, but also you don't dumb it down, assuming that we're brainless. Thank you for that and for facilitating my teaching. Also, to throw in a platitude for this topic - ''The strain in pain lies mainly in the brain'' :)

I'm 27, male, from Indonesia. Just wanna say following the podcasts have cured my insomnia, improved my productivity, and helped me in my creative process! Thank you for your insights and dedication, Dr. Huberman! 😄
Gabriel Surija I am hoping to get the same results as you... I am bipolar, so insomnia has just been a way of life for me, but hopefully now I can try some new tools instead of sleep meds.
@@violetszilvas9938 I had really bad insomnia last spring. I followed all of Andrew's tips and I started doing high intensity skipping rope 2-3 times a week, 20-30 min sessions. My insomnia is gone, good luck with yours.
@@markmui skipping rope in the morning or evening?
@@VaibhavSrivastava15 after breakfast or after lunch works best for me. Evening workout sessions tend to keep me up at night. You have to experiment to see what works best for you.
@@markmui Evening workouts didn't suit me as well, but it was the only time I could do it. In mornings, I do 1-1.5 hr yoga/meditation routine, so I think ill give afternoon a try. Thanks!
Does anyone else watch or listen multiple times because you know you missed great info the first time round??
I do in parts sometimes. as the episodes are quite long it is not possible to go over everything multiple times. thought like audio books listening twice at 2x does help.
I have started taking detailed notes like it is a class.
Yup, just amazing the info I keep learning every time I rewatch..this professor is pure gold, bless him always.
Yes sir❗️😅
@@Cyko702 Ditto - there is too much good info! I am now taking notes. It is uni all over again but ten times better :)
Topic request: Another episode like this delving deeper into chronic pain; fibromyalgia, myofascial, RSI etc. and the frontier treatment options for those traditional therapies didn’t work.
Perhaps a deeper dive with your colleagues with fibromyalgia will be super useful. Have a friend with severe chronic pain and it’s so sad to see him bed ridden and so depressed.
Your podcasts is awesome and thank you for your work.
Check out the work of Dr. John Sarno and Dr. Dan Ratner. Among others.

As a hypnotherapist and life coach I work with the subconscious and have helped many clients free themselves from past trauma that have kept them stuck in depression, anxiety and PTSD. The subconscious constantly is being triggered and past events or trauma plays out over and over again running the same program falsely keeping them safe. It's incredible to see the change, it's like they have unlocked the blockage and find freedom to move past the trauma. I love your channel thank you.

You should try Lex Friedman's Podcast!! Huberman was a guest two times. It is far more diverse and covers many topics you can choose from. It is different than this one in the point that it consists of interviews/conversations rather than this alone and presenting form Huberman does (so far)

A week ago, I started to feel to have low energy, but nothing has changed with my daily routine, I meditate, go to work, do yoga, etc. Then I realized that 2 weeks ago, my puppy was neutered, which limited his activity and we didn't do our normal 15-30min walks twice daily. Now that he is healed, we are back to our daily walking routine and my energy level is back. So even though I am going to work, doing meditation, yoga, etc, I found that doing the low intensity exercise of walking daily has its own health benefits, I did not realize until I stop doing it. Thanks Andrew for so much helpful information.
so happy for you! Being in nature is so healing and energizing. I Teach seniors yoga and we talk about the ideal sate of alert but relaxed
As someone who's had brain / neck injuries in the past and is always trying to optimize, I am really grateful for this. A great mix of scientific evidence and practical application. Thanks!
SIR, what a magnificent resource you are.
It's a privilege to walk the earth in your time!!!!!!
I don't have injures, thank God, but I'm suffering from a strong chronic joint/muscle pain, which is caused by an autoimmune disease. Nothing worked for me, not drugs, not physio-therapy, not meditation etc. Only COLD showers. That procedure alone had reduced my pain significantly, in about two weeks. I'm now well into the second year of the WH-method. Very happy I discovered it.

I just can’t think of my day without listening to you Sir, I just wait every morning after my workout to plug in and listen to you talk. I have learnt so much from your talks. I am a home maker and interested in science a lot and these talks make my day so much more enriched and honestly they have made me a better person , not to sound philosophical at all. I am from India and your evidence based talks only make me appreciate my culture so much more as some of these things are very deep rooted in here. I was very dismissive of so many things that I have seen growing up but your talks have made me a accept them as I have always been a person looking out for scientific evidence. Thank you so much for what you do so selflessly and wishing you good health and happiness ( the most precious commodities on our planet)
I have been suffering back pains for years caused by herniated disks and other back conditions. I have recently discovered Prof Staurt McGill and have already been reading his books and incorporating his exercise recommendations and lifestyle changes in my daily activities.

Thank you for your great work. We are your committed fans. Watching your podcasts everyday.
Dear Dr Huberman
I am honored to consider myself one the oldest student of ( huberman univercity )
As for the breathing method mentioned in your podcast.
I have practiced yoga all my life but started classical yoga taught by @ Sadhguru at Isha foundation, an was amazed how various breathing can help to not just improve the health of body and mind but increasing power of healing.
1- in 2006 I fell and broke my wrist and elbow, didn’t require any pain med ( I was well I’ve 60 ) they both healed well.
2- 2012 had hypothyroidism by increasing the time of one particular meditation, never needed meditation.
3- 2018 fell and had torn meniscus in both knees because of my age was recommended to have total knee surgery. But by practicing yoga and meditation my knees function well and I can do my yoga practice without any difficulty.
Breathing you talked about is part of my meditation daily which I do in the morning/ noon ( because position of earth 🌏 ) and 9 pm
I eat one meal a day and have no issues with hunger either. 😀🙏🏽
I don’t have Instagram, Facebook or Twitter, I find it all incredibly distracting, and it all seems geared to consumerism!!🙈 Thank goodness for RUclips and this podcast!!!🙏🏽✌🏽
I really agree with you. Since finding Dr Huberman I am spending so much more on his videos and ignoring others. But I do like his IG page. You just have to be careful not to get sucked into the IG distractions...not easy
Chronic pain sensitisation is an interesting form of plasticity.
Hope you also talk about the sensitisation of fatigue one day.
Can you talk about ADHD please. What it actually is doing to the brain?, and any tips for helping cope with it? Also if there’s any way to help rewire the brain or use neuroplasticity to help minimise the effects of ADHD? This is something I’ve struggled with my whole life and is a massive issue for me and my actions/thoughts so any tips or information would be amazing.
Also thanks for starting this amazing podcast. The information and delivery from yourself is truly remarkable and a blessing for all. Thanks for all the hours of podcasts you have provide with us so far, truly life changing. Such a blessing to have you do this. You are the f’ing man 💙
I will cover this in a future episode. I am talking to colleagues and experts in the research and clinical realm now. Thank you!
This is my favourite podcast right now because there's no politics, no negativity, no bullshit, just straight-up facts and tools.
Thank you so much for investing so much of your time, money, and energy for our benefit.
I strained my knee and treated it different then my strained ankles. 30 years ago I got tapes for 6 weeks and hence a weak food after. even every change of position was a maneuver i decided without I looked for exercises online and started slowly and carefully on day 2. my first attempt to balance on day 5 wasn't good but everything gets better remarkably each day. after a week I found scientific confirmation in this podcast of what I am doing. I would love to encourage everyone in need. It is not just about rest and ice I just put it on right after the accident in the care of the paramedics.
Sir u r impacting millions of life.... I m seeing transformation in my life just because of you lots of love from India ❤️
Your podcasts on sleep mark the first time anyone has given me helpful advice- and I’ve seen several specialists. Also, I don’t find your voice at all annoying as that person you were in a class with did. I find it soothing- and often fall asleep in the middle of the podcast.
Would you be able to discuss Multiple sclerosis and other neurological disorders on the podcast?
All the best 😇

You are helping so many.
All blessings on you and yours 🙌
Thank you, Dr. Huberman, for all that you share. You are star! As a Pain Psychologist, I would *love* more material on Chronic Pain.
Having suffered from chronic pain; I can tell you mind body approach is real. Cured. I’m thankful for the pain and what it taught me.
@57:00 As physical therapists, we use functional dry needling with electrical stimulation frequently as a modulator for pain and creating changes in the muscles and in the nervous system to allow for reinforcement of movement patterns that were painful before with progressive reloading afterwards.
Hi Andrew, thank you for highlighting TBI. March is brain injury awareness month - we love serving this community of TBI warriors in their post-acute rehabilitation.
I'm so looking forward to hearing more about migraine. Thank you so much for bringing the spotlight of science onto the good and the bad of the wellness industry. Really appreciate the time and effort you put in to sharing your knowledge and that of worthy others.
I could tolerate any level of pain by thinking about how much I love the Huberman Lab podcast.
I already know it will be a great podcast as usual!!Thanks a lot Andrew..You really made me passionate about neuroscience..Greetings from Italy..🇮🇹
Had a friend have a horrible injury, who broke his neck, became a quadriplegic, last year he climbed his first 14k' mountain, and had a baby and is walking today. Neuro-plactisity is amazing.
His nerves regrew?
This has been my favorite podcast by far! I've shared it with all my friends. I really hope it keeps on going.
Huberman's podcasts have helped me so much in my own personal growth journey! I would hate to think of where I might still be if it weren't for people such as himself and Jordan B Peterson being free to listen to on such platforms, educating us all beyond any measure that a school system could teach upon. I am and will forever be grateful for the information that we have access to in this day and age. Thank you to the brilliant minds that share their knowledge with the world. Thank you Dr Huberman.
Tools for reducing pain are:
01.) get infatuated/”obsessed” with someone and look at their picture
02.) get deep sleep / feet elevated / sleeping on one side
03.) do low level cardio 3x / week
04.) try acupuncture, but treat the right pathway, otherwise it will make the pain worse
05.) stimulation of feet & hands can reduce inflammation
06.) don´t use Turmeric (it´s contaminated with lead and acute inflammation is good)
07.) heat is better than cold for injuries
08.) restrict the injury above and below
09.) maintain movement
10.) “chronic pain is plasticity gone wrong” → get more red light by more sunlight exposure → preferably naked but without getting arrested
11.) injecting blood from young people will rejuvenate the body (but you have to figure out how/where to get it yourself)
Please do this every time 🤣

You have saved me. I had stage 4 ov ca and many obstructions in colon , stomach, gastric bypass, and suffer SEVERE neural pain. Luke tooth ache in my body. I am only 60 and was very fit. I still try and do whatever I can, weights, walking, gentle spinning. Am so so tired of pain op ….. cannot carry on with targinact, arcoxia, pethedine. It talked me away from my life and my wonderful young surfer parter. But THANK YOU
Easily one of the most fascinating videos on RUclips. Can't thank you enough Andrew.
Dr. Huberman is one of the best communicators of science. He is as good as Neil DeGrasse Tyson. It's so much fun learning from such people.
Monday again...yes! 👍I am slow in following all the episodes but it 's so nice to know a new one is coming. And I am sure it will be great. 1000 Thx 🙏🙏🙏😊
I suffered from chronic pain after one botched back surgery led to 10 more surgeries. I ended up on opiates for 22 years. Now I’m dealing with huge dopamine issues. Your videos have helped me understand so much. Thank you. Btw, after coming off opiates I now have very little chronic pain.
As ever, thank you for your amazing contribution to our collective understanding. I appreciate the time and effort you've obviously invested in this podcast.
Thank you Dr Huberman for talking about PRP. I have a dysplastic hip that shows all the degenerative symptoms including pain, progressively restricted movements, and tension in the hip. There were episodes when I felt the pain during the night. After being able to make an X ray and find a proficient orthopedic doctor something like 1 year since the aggravation of the state I was offered to have injected a triple PRP in the hip together with ozone and hyaluronic acid. I was making some research and was aware that it is quite a new method, even for where I live in Sothern Europe it is completely mind-blowing to find a doctor that is skillful for such an intervention. I was willing to try since the other option for hip replacement is not yet considered or at least it is highly recommended to wait for quite some time if possible like 15 years. With the pain that is always present after longer walk and sometime during the night, I decided to accept the treatment in August 2020. So far I may say only subjectively that eventually the pain span time that still occurs after longer walks tends to be lesser than prior to the injection. Unfortunately, I couldn't make any physical rehabilitation treatment but will see this summer if at least the state was preserved as close as possible to one of the last years since basically, this is the goal until the moment of hip replacement. You mentioned the umbilical cord blood. I have preserved the umbilical cord blood of my daughter so in 5 years we should decide whether to still keep it...would you know some reliable sources on this topic and maybe some other information on who can use this blood if needed. It is sure it is kept in case of need for my daughter and I always hope she never reaches any state to need it. However, I would be grateful to know for her to decide later if she may like to donate it and if it is only the same blood type person that can use it or any other in need.
At last, someone bringing cutting edge science directly to the mainstream!
I've been so extra excited all week for this topic and can hardly wait until the afternoon when I'm free to listen! I'm always talking about and sharing what I learn in these podcasts and other interviews, so to say I'm extra excited is saying a lot!
I've been deep into mindbody pain (and non-pain) syndromes for the past year. Personally I have completely cured my chronic hip pain, avoided needless surgery, and am back to endurance running pain free because of this knowledge. I'm very passionate about increasing awareness of this subject because of how it changed my life and seeing the latest research on it has me hopeful. I'll be taking tons of notes tonight!
Thanks again Andrew. I’d love to see an in depth discussion as to the power of belief in overcoming illness/injury as I understand it’s a very powerful component but hard to quantity. Going into detail in placebo/nocebo and the work of people like Dr. John Sarno who helped people overcome back pain (a mental component that caused real pain in people).
The reason I'm listening to this is to use the info to support my roommate who regularly feels a lot of pain. Thank you for all your professing! :)
I love how he Tackles Eastern Practices with a Scientific point of view, Than Arguably by the end gives a twist on Qanon and legit Reasons where rumors arise from.
Makes a lot of sense. Soviet professor of sport science V. N. Seluyanov mentioned that a lot in his lectures how training bigger muscle groups during injuries helps to heal faster due to hormones release when training. Thank you for sharing
I am truly grateful for your dedication to share your knowledge with us 🙏❤
On the TBI month, I would really appreciate if you covered brain fatigue (caused by TBI or other things). How, why and what to do to recover.
I get to learn from great professors without paying any money or going to a prestigious university to learn all these things. Thanks to Huberman and the internet.
Thank you very much for this Andrew. I’ve been suffering from chronic pain for 5 years now, although it’s much less severe and much more manageable. Ironically, it never crossed my mind to incorporate low intensity exercise for extended periods of time. I’ve always pushed my workouts. It’s no wonder I have found moments of relief after being on the bike for extended periods of time.
I do suspect there is also a psychological component to this as I developed a certain fear of movement, which has definitely not helped my condition. From experience, I can say that I’ve definitely perceived a vicious cycle, where one injury led to deep negativity of thoughts, which then led to further issues with the body. How in the world do you break out of these things? I guess for some of us, “management” is the best option we have.
Thank you for your knowledge and excellent scholarship!
Ed, check out RUclips channel "Pain Free You". Information on chronic pain is GOLD. Don't manage it when you can heal it. There are also some great books such as "Unlearn Your Pain" by Dr. Howard Schubiner. I was disabled with terrible constant pain for 12 years. Now I'm 75% improved and living life, and I know I'll reach 100% soon. Best wishes!

Huberman is the Van Halen of Neuroscience, keep rocking dude!
@Richard P. Hey, I'd call him the Steven Tyler of Neuroscience LOL!!!
My god, I love myself so much right now :)) I was just removed of a cast of 6 weeks because I broke my dominant arm. And I insisted all the time to keep operating it as much as I could. Intuitively, I had that notion of atrophy in mind, and thinking that I want my recovery period after removal to be as short as possible, I wanted to give my brain the message that the whole system is balanced and I made a point to use my broken arm as much as I could, of course without hurting it. For example I continued doing my running and resistance exercise, incorporating the arm as much as I could. Doc said my x-rays are showing very quick rebuilding of the bone. And now that my cast is off, I feel like I'm getting back to the usual "feel" of the arm very quickly. This is SO RELEVANT to me right now :)
Hi Andrew, I'd be interested to hear any methods for overcoming addiction. Are there ways we can hack our brain function to alleviate cravings? Having a degree of control over how and when Dopamine is released seems to be pretty crucial to the learning process so methods to help gain control over that would be really useful.
AJ, look into Neurofeedback, if you haven’t already. I struggled with pornography since 12. I’m 33 now and started direct Neurofeedback with a therapist as well we use active Neurofeedback. I haven’t had any craving since December. We began treatment in October. Hope it helps .

Dear Andrew Huberman, thank you so, so, so much for your absolutely wonderful podcasts. I could stay home all day every day watching and learning from you and your interesting guests. You are truly a treasure. Thank you for all the hard work that goes in to producing such quality work.
Hi Prof. Huberman, you have not mentioned anything about how social and/or intimate contact impacts our health and recovery.
This is tremendously important, esp. nowadays. Loneliness is the disease of our century.
he mentions oxytocin's impact on health in other episodes, the chemical is released after 20 mins of hugging/snuggling. This occurs between humans as well as dogs! There are many factors that contribute to the neuromodulator's upregulation.
Obviously having a strong social bond (establishment in the tribe) will aid in homeostasis and neurostasis as well.
he mentioned love, which sums up the same chemical soup family of components you mentioned.
Thank you for the amazing information. I am 70 Yo., broke my wrist, currently doing PT, and experiencing a lot of pain. After the first session, I was told to do a contrast bath of 4 min. with warm water and 2 min, with cold water. The pain I experienced when first putting my hand in the cold water was excruciating but I continued for the 4 reps. Afterward, I was pain-free. Subsequently, I tried the cold packs without much success in pain relief. What has helped is doing the contrast bath, one basin of warm water for 3 min,, one basin of cold water for 1 min. for two reps. I did not experience the same excruciating pain that I felt with the first session but do have pain relief that NSAIDS and a cold pack did not provide.
What a good way to start the week! Thank you so much!
Your efforts to share your knowledge to educate those who are curious means a lot. I trust you. Thanks Andrew.
Thanks a lot!! You completely changed my mindset about success and happiness.
you may not see this but i wanted to say thank you SO much for you and your videos. the mind (especially neuroscience) is something i am extremely fascinated with but i avoided learning more as i struggled with science at school. this resulted in thinking that it was too difficult and put me off ever learning/studying. i am now in my 30s and through discovering you/your work i feel like i actually do understand more than i realised and know anything is possible for me, plus the the weight of perceiving myself as less intelligent has lifted. thank you ❤️
I hit the like button first and than I watch. Thank you for the podcast.
Same here, and never regretted.
😂
Truly an honor you put this online. I share all your information with the people I know. Still waiting on Andrew Huberman, Lex Fridman, Eric Weinstein, Jordan Peterson, Michael Malice, Tim Dillon, and Joe Rogan all in one podcast please!!
Hello Huberman Lab Podcast!
Thank you so much for your generous wisdom on the nervous system. Huberman Lab Postcast is 5 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.
My questions are about exploring and explaining more about the process of radial glia in neural mapping and neural development, glymphatic dysfunctions as the root of neuro degenerative disorders, glymphatic drainage implications in focal cortical seizures, the pia glial interface, CSF drainage impairments in autism and sensory processing and manual therapy techniques that attend to CSF drainage, CSF flow, and strain patterns in the meninges. Thank you!!!! Elizabeth

I have only recently discovered you but i want to let you know how much i appreciate you sharing your knowledge with me / everyone. i just wanted to tell you my experience with a blood transfusion. of course it's only anecdotal, but that is where many ideas start, i suppose. So in the summer of 2003, when the hospital gave me a transfusion, i got the whole bag! perhaps 2 bags. I was simply very anemic -- low red blood cells. this happened gradually, over time. I was told i was a little anemic while i was pregnant with my 5th child (i remember this because i had to spend her 1st birthday in the hospital). so anyway, i was unaware how anemic i had become (over the past 18 months or so); basically i had no idea why i couldn't even walk across my small living room without having to grab a wall and lower my head closer to my knees to avoid completely passing out. Sorry for carrying on, i would just give you the numbers if i remembered them. like ?? 15 was good, i was down to 5, so they wanted to shoot for 12 with "new blood." one nurse told me my blood was pink, not red, lol. Needless to say, i was blessed to go from a 2 to a 9.5 in my energy level and just feeling GREAT! the strange thing was, my first night sleep in the hospital, all hopped up on some random A+ blood, i had amazing dreams like i hadn't had since i was a child. i had completely forgotten that i used to fly in my dreams, it hadn't happened in so many years. But that night, in my dreams, of course, i flew for what felt like days. I am certain that i received some very special blood; that some lovely spiritual person donated their precious red cells and blessed me with my gift again --- flying and lucid dreaming. And i still fly most every night 25 years later. --- I really appreciate you, Andrew, the way you can be all scientific and still be aligned with Spirit, at least in acknowledging "top down" as you call it -- simply put, mind-body medicine. I know very well i'm responsible for my choices and talk to my doctor and all that, but I HANG ON EVERY WORD when i watch you video. and i know finding your podcast on youtube was no accident. THANK YOU for what you do. Your lessons are absolutely FASCINATING!
I had been looking for a podcast on neuroscience for some time, so thanks for making the best one out there. I have an interest in getting a master's in the field and all the content you put out has been helping me a lot. Thanks!
Truly.. Can't thank you enough. There are no words to convey the benefit that your knowledge & sharing publicly (that knowledge) has had on the masses. I am constantly passing on the information i am guided to know & you have been "information overload." It takes me about 3 to 4 times of listening to the podcast (taking notes when life tasks permit) but after that.....Stuck like Chuck 👍. Again, a massive "Thank You" from myself & the Masses who are benefiting.
Thanks Andrew for another enlightening podcast, i'm working my way through an online course with Dr Sarah McKay which is wonderful (you recommended her work to me) - so thanks for that, it is great to be working through her course and listening to you every Mondays! I'm learning so much
Zone 2 exercise for help with TBI, got it! I start to get headaches and neck pain if I overdo it exercising and exploring zone 2 exercise makes a huge difference!
A VERY BIG thank you, super appreciate your knowledge & the generosity with which you share it
In his book, Viktor Frankl wrote that he survived in terrible circumstances by helping other people, keeping his sense of humor and thinking about his wife, hoping that they're gonna meet again. Love is a real power. Maybe that's why lonely people are much vulnerable.
Thank you!
I love that you make these videos 90 minutes! Also, I have to say that i'm really impressed with this whole podcast. Currently i'm taking some subjects in university, and because of covid they are all online classes. The funny thing is that your free lectures on RUclips are more engaging, more structured and it is even easier to plan my viewing of these videos than my Uni lectures. You are even using the science you teach about to make these lectures as wonderful they are, which make your teaching trustworthy and instantly relatable.
Thank you Andrew, sincerely!
Btw, I have a suggestion! For us that study psychology, could you please write down the different terms that are directly related to your topics, and put them in the description? I know I could just write them down as you talk, but personally I much prefer to just listen and think, then process and organize the information afterwards :)
This is probably the best thing about the internet - it gives us this amazing opportunity to enjoy beauty of science and enables absolutely EVERYONE to develop a general understanding of scientific process and specific topics to a degree that was just recently only available to selected elites.
This podcast alone is pure art. Lots of episodes ahead of me, I have no words to describe how excited I am!
With regard to injury healing processes I recall Bret Weinstein discussing how his son broke his arm and after medical aasessment they decided to not put the cast on and allow their son to carefully use broken limb. They came to that decision based on evolutionary thinking and here we have a perfect explanation of mechanism at work 👌 I would love to see you and Bret in a conversation, I feel like there will be many instances where your field of study and Bret's evolutionary insights would come to similar conclusions.
Thank you for doing this amazing work!
Hi Andrew, I absolutely love this podcast 😊 thanks for today’s episode- I have a request related to this topic. I have severe endometriosis and live with frequent chronic pain, I also run a business which is quite mentally stressful. Could you give advice on learning to increase your endurance for things like this. I know you work a lot with members of the special forces who must obviously have huge resilience to stress and suffering, are there any things that us regular people could do to develop more of that type of resilience. I’d also love to hear any knowledge you have on how things like menstruation, menopause and hormonal contraceptives impact the brain
I read an article that having arrhythmia/heart murmur affects you rhythmically. I then connected that with why I can never sing on beat. It doesn't come naturally. My timing is always off in music and sports and it really affects my efforts in improvement.
Could you speak on floaters in the eye? What causes them? Why sometimes they appear to flare up and at other times one can't see them? Can they be cured/removed?
P.s I've listened to every episode and I've been recommending this to all my family and friends! I love it
Glymphatic! That’s why, as soon as I feel like I’m falling asleep, I get burning in back of skull, neck, kidneys, bladder, bowels, ears (liquid like). Not when I lie down, but actually feel sleepy. As I wake up, these “fluids” start to shift and flow. I stopped a medication, and it got better. My glymphatic system was cleaning house!
And yes, on my side, more burning...on back, just in head, kidneys low back.
Hi Andrew! Thanks for creating this amazing channel: tons of useful information to apply in everyday life. Your mission in delivering this information to a young generation is especially important, I think. Hence, as a mother of a teenager who is not good in managing his time effectively and efficiently, I wanted to suggest the topic for future episodes: what neurological mechanisms behind procrastination are and how to master the science of small steps. Recently, my son had the whole week to complete his assessments in High School. Nevertheless, he did nothing until the last day. As a result, his performance was much weaker, than it could be. He also got very frustrated, for he had no time to finish his last assessment. I believe many teenagers would benefit from the discussion of this topic. Thank you very much!
The experience of pain, and how we cope with it in the moment can also really be exemplified through the experience of childbirth, which I’ve done three times without intervention. I was lucky enough to have a Doula who coached me in pain management and showed me through the process that it’s the bodies natural wayof delivering a human being onto the planet, so the concept of pain gets reframed as sensation. I found this very helpful and carried it into other times of my life where I’ve had to endure physical pain.
Best way to start our mondays!
I just wanna thank you for indirectly helping me with my work. I'm an English teacher and my students are mostly neurologists and psychiatrists and these really help me not only learn the English terms, but there's also a fine balance in your explanations between theory and the pragmatic aspect of the information. Sometimes I think that you've overlooked a detail, covered something too superficially, but by the end of the episode, I realize it's just concise and I wanna commend your ability to distinguish what's important from...just superfluous details that only a doctor would benefit. Yeah, you take into account that your average listener is a layman, but also you don't dumb it down, assuming that we're brainless. Thank you for that and for facilitating my teaching.
Also, to throw in a platitude for this topic - ''The strain in pain lies mainly in the brain'' :)
