I know this is just one positive comment among hundreds, and this doesn't have that much to do with this specific episode, but I am tremendously thankful for the quality and effort that you have put into these podcasts. It's not an exaggeration to say that you've completely changed my life. I've gone from being border-lined depressed and completely drained all day from 1:00 PM - 4:00 AM, to waking up at 8:00 and actually being excited to challenge myself at something. I can now sleep more quickly on the floor than I once was able to with a proper bed (with the help of Yoga Nidra NSDR), I finally know how to properly learn and keep focused - I mean, just knowing that frustration itself helps make it stick is incredibly motivating - and that's just the start of a long list. Any of these improvements on their own would have been amazing, but all of them? Just with a few hours of listening? I still have a huge way to go, but it feels like someone gave me a foundation of stone, when all I've been trying to build on was one of sand. Someone I'll probably never meet, who might not even read or hear a single word I say. Simply incredible. I can't say thank you enough.

I wish you the best in your journey. I felt similarly to you in regards to learning to stay focused. And the scientific explanations for things that have frustrated me, for example feeling a crash in the afternoon and being upset because of it, have really helped me realise that we are wired for that and therefore accept it.

Epic podcast once again! I wrote a bunch a notes that might be useful for some of you. Now I need to spike my epinephrine to make sure I remember everything :) CORTISOL: Cortisol and epinephrine are the main causes of having energy and being healthy. Cortisol and epinephrine are a double ended sword, you want them elevated but not for too long and at the right time. Cortisol is derived from cholesterol (in the same way as estrogen and testosterone are) - both from cholesterol you eat and from the liver. Cortisol is the competitive partner to estrogen and testosterone - meaning if you are stressed then more of the cholesterol you eat or produce will be turned to cortisol. This will result in less production of estrogen and testosterone. You don’t want cortisol too high or at the wrong time. Cortisol 101: -Your brain creates releasing hormones, in this case CRH -This then cause the pituitary gland to releases ATCH -This then causes your adrenals to release cortisol Cortisol is not just a stress hormone, it is a hormone of energy: -You want to move -You don’t want to rest -You don’t want to eat Make sure cortisol is high first thing in the morning by getting outside and getting sunlight (improves focus, energy levels, improves learning throughout the day): Light doses: -Sunny day 5-10 mins -Cloudy day 30 mins -Artificial light 6 hours (too late) Cortisol will increase relevant to unpleasant events, the key is to keep the cortisol spikes brief. Cortisol can pass the blood-brain barrier. EPINEPHINE/ADRENALINE: Epinephrine is your best friend when it comes to fighting off infections and keeping you healthy It’s also your best friend when it comes to learning and remembering (it activates neuroplasticity) Epinephrine 101: -When you detect a stressor with your mind or your body detects a stressor, a signal is sent to the sympathetic chain ganglia and they relates epinephrine throughout the body like a sprinkler system. -You also relates epinephrine from your adrenals Effects: -Increases heart rate -Increases breathing rate -Constricts blood vessels -Increases blood flow to vital organs Things that cause increase: -A stressful event will lead to an increase in epinephrine (and most likely cortisol) -An ice bath or Wim Hoff breathing leads to a similar increase -HIIT or heavy resistance training also lead to increases As a bi-product they also increase your energy and alertness. The body doesn’t distinguish between what type of stressor it is. Cognitively reframing an event doesn’t change the way it impacts your body or brain, it liberates other molecules like dopamine and serotonin that help buffer the epinephrine response. Epinephrine is made from dopamine. TOOLS/PRACTICES: -Cold shower/bath -Wim Hoff breathing -HIIT -Resistance training We want to build a system that trains our body for real life events, so that when we experience epinephrine and cortisol increase we are able to better handle them. We are also able to better use energy overall. Cortisol can pass the blood-brain barrier, whereas epinephrine can’t. Training through cold water exposure: -When you get into cold water epinephrine will be released by the adrenals, if you train yourself to stay calm in these moments by slowing down your breathing for example, then you’ll stop epinephrine being releases from the brain stem to the same degree Inducing stress in the short term has a big impact on the immune system in a positive way. Epinephrine signals the alarm of the nervous system that activates the immune response (sends out killer cells etc). Learning to turn on and off cortisol and adrenaline allows you to turn on focus and your immune system. STRESS ON PERFORMANCE -Increased levels of stress (epinephrine in the body) has a direct positive impact on performance -Too much stress is when epinephrine gets into the brain, often when people focus too much on their somatic experience rather than what they are trying to do -Epinephrine is a smart drug -Memory and learning is greatly increased by epinephrine directly after learning (it consolidates the learning in the brain) -Taking adderall or coffee before learning is actually driving the process in the wrong direction, you’re increasing epinephrine for learning to a certain point, but past a point you are actually degrading learning and performance. OPTIMAL EXECTUTION: -90 minute learning session, directly followed by a cold shower or Wim Hoff breathing, then shower and do a non-sleep deep rest COFFEE IMPACT: -Chronic coffee drinking wires the brain for more anxiety even when not drinking coffee COMFORT FOODS: -We want to eat more fat and sugar when under stress -Body fat sends out signals and the adrenals are producing more cortisol which signals the brain to seek fats and sugars SHORT TERM VS LONG TERM -Short term stress blunts hunger, long term stress increases hunger -Short term stress releases bombesin that makes you want to eat less -Stress that lasts more than 2-3 days is chronic stress GREYING -Activation of the sympathetic nervous system (which releases adrenaline and cortisol) drives depletion of melanocytes in the hair follicle (leads to greying) SUPPLEMENTS: -Ashwaganda has a strong effect on lowering anxiety as well as lowering cortisol FASTING -Epinephrine and cortisol go up if we fast (4-6 hrs) -When we eat we blunt the epinephrine and cortisol -If you want to be alert, stay hydrated and fasted -Have a daily or bi-daily practice where you deliberately increase adrenaline in the body (I.e. cold shower, Wim Hoff breathing) and train yourself to stay calm in your mind. SUMMARY -The goal is to induce cortisol and epinephrine deliberately when they are low , you need them to learn/perform or to push back on infections -You also need to be able to lower them when they get too high (chronic stress) with behavioural practices such as light, sleep and meditation (ashwaganda could also help) -You need to train your system to be in control during high stress events (cold exposure, Wim Hoff breathing etc)

This channel is a gold mine for those who are into NeuroScience and things. Hands down the best content in this domain on YT. I can't believe it's free to watch. More power to you Dr Andrew Huberman. We are rooting for you, keep up the great work.

My favourite podcast... I'm so glad I found this. Monday is such a happy day!

This podcast has been one of the most beautiful thing that happened to me and am extremely grateful for discovering this work of yours. I would also like to add that, in my country India, we have been using ashwagandha for literally thousands of years and this episode made me feel a little more proud of where I come from. So a big thank you to you and your team for this yet another wonderful podcast ❤️

I've listened to almost all the podcasts and have learned so much. Because of the info you have provided, I got my cortisol and melatonin measured and found they are way out of range which explains why I wake up at 4am every night. I'm trying to change my circadian clock by getting outside as early as possible and I believe it is working. Thank you for all the great info and explaining it in a way that is easy to understand! I look forward to each new podcast.

What a refreshing break from the usual self improvement drivel.. Deeply appreciate the attention to detail in the content - in terms of both the information and the presentation! Inspiring stuff Dr. Huberman!

Dear professor, I'am so grateful to you! Now, because of your generosity, I can take care of my health in an efficient way. I do not have a health-care insurance, so you can imagine how important this knowledge is. I wish you and your family many times all the good you share with us. Best wishes from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

I never really fully understood how cortisol and adrenaline worked but now I have a basic understanding (I'll have to re-watch this again) but as someone in their 50's, it now seems possible that I can manage this stuff (and other topics you've covered in your podcasts) that will improve my quality of life ; anxiety, energy, headaches, and so much more. Thank you for your in-depth approach to the topics you cover.

That was my favourite episode so far, thank you, this podcast has dramatically improved my health and each episode really helps!

This is SO helpful I've jumped on the bandwagons for fasting, wim hof breathing/cold exposure, and get-after-it style of exercise. Love them all and recommend them, *BUT* I so wish I had heard this podcast sooner. I have learned the hard way that over doing it leads to horrible insomnia/sleep disturbances, significantly delayed recovery, and eventually leads to injuries from things that should be within my normal range of motion. I'll definitely try to balance out my cortisol elevating activities from now on, thank you!

I just learned in therapy that I'm considered hypervigilant because of my sister's harm to me starting when I was an infant. I believe the psychology of men and women is very different.

Thanks for presenting on this important subject Dr Huberman. In formative schooling, not enough attention is paid to the importance of the endocrine system. Grateful at some point if you can explore the linkages between histamine and physiological optimisation. Ive begun looking into this and at surface level, it seems very interesting.

Great episode! I loved hearing how a spike in cortisol POST learning is what helps solidify the learning pathways. Telling my brain "I like this" to increase dopamine is still one of the weirdest tips I've heard, but I guess the placebo effect is a real thing! Thank you again for this episode, and I can't wait for your book!

Listening for a second time. Gotta say, I’ve always enjoyed learning, but your lectures get me excited about learning that much more!

Taking a potent root extract of ashwagandha is said to bind to GABA A or B receptors I don't remember but I personally have taken very large doses of Sensoril root extract for long periods of time and have indeed noticed withdrawal type symptoms for a few days after stopping. I'll try to find a study 🤷‍♂️ but the general ashwagandha you get at most health food stores isn't a potent extract there's really no issues. But potent extracts do seem to bind to GABA receptors.

Wonderful content Dr. Huberman. I was having sleep issues during the week, and after listening to this podcast it occurred to me that I was working out too late in the day and causing a rise in my epinephrine and cortisol levels. I would always sleep great on the weekends and that is because I don't workout on those days. I just switched to a morning workout routine and I will see how that will work for me. Love what you are doing to help us lay folk. Passing your website to as many people as I can. Thanks for all you do!! 😀🌼

I’m blown away by the amount of information in this one. This will require a second listen.

Okay Doc, this is my favorite episode yet! I do a cold shower + Wim Hoff breathing every morning and my mood, energy, and focus have SIGNIFICANTLY improved since I started (in January). Tip for anyone reading this, if you’re ever feeling irritable or in a bad mood, take a cold shower! It is a magic pill. Works for me every time. I have a question though because I feel blissful after the shower and breathing, but I feel awful after the FB drama type of stress. If they are the same thing (stress) - what is causing the differences in emotional states?

These are the same in terms of releasing adrenaline. That's what he was referring to. The breathing and cold release endorphins and other mood enhancing chemicals which FB drama does not. :-D

I look forward to your podcasts and I feel that I have learned so much to make my life better and healthier. I have 3 questions specific to this episode. 1. Will UV coated glasses or contacts affect the amount of time needed to get the appropriate amount of sunlight in the morning? 2. Will your body adjust to normalize morning cortisol levels if you get the correct morning sunlight on most days or will one or 2 days without AM sun cause a problem? 3. What is the best process if your wake up time is hours before the sun rises? Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Firstly, thank you for this podcast and for this episode! My experience with licorice: When I was chronically stressed (my stressor was a medication), I couldn't consume even the slightest amount of licorice in any form because it caused my elevated cortisol symptoms to go through the roof. Then when the stressor was removed, I crashed into "adrenal fatigue" and since then, I have been unable to function without licorice. I've been in "adrenal fatigue" for over a year now, and I still depend on licorice to get me through my days. Without it, I sleep day and night. Of course, I'm doing other things to restore my adrenals to a healthy state, but the licorice has been the biggest help. I hope I will not need it forever. And btw, licorice does not increase cortisol output, but it keeps the cortisol around longer, letting it build up in your system.

I think I am also chronically stressed as you. You are licorice addicted,and I am tea and coffee addicted. I cannot live without tea or coffee,which I need everyday to wake up in the moring and also in the afternoon. Otherwise,I am sleepy all the time almost 24 hours without motivation and movement. I was prescribed anti-depression drugs to keep the H-5 and noneperinphine stay longer in the neural system. That helped me for about 2 months,but I have to give it up due to the side effects of skin problems. Recently, I am really fatigue and I thought I just would sleep even while I am sitting still. It's really annoying and that blocks me to think clearly and move physically as a normal person. It is really frustrating. But I know it is not anxiety or depression. Just the chemicals differ. It seems that you are suffering the same as me. I have never seen such person in my life. Do you have a way to work out now? I am 40 years old and I would say that it's been for so long since my teenage. Hope to share with you and discuss how to be energic and alert.

Victor Frankl's Man's search for meaning, also reinforces the idea, that even when your body and your mind are put under the worst situation imaginable, the meaning you assign to your tasks makes a big difference in your ability to cope, perform, and survive. It seems to me that he reframed mindful awareness of the body's interoceptive reactions as separation instead of integration, which is more clear in my opinion. A lot of people cannot do this unless they are under very controlled environmental circumstances (yoga class, therpapy session, etc) I think deliberately practicing being under high physical and mental stress for a short period of time to develop "mental toughness" is among one of the best advice he has given. Crossfit and hiking do that for me with the occasional croissant 😄

You might also like Psychiatry and Psychotherapy Podcast with Dr David Puder- just had an episode on Man’s Search for Meaning you might enjoy. I appreciate your comments - as a crossfitter and yoga teacher, I “get” what you’re saying about the meaning we assign to our reality that impacts motivation level or desire to move. Attention and values are linked. JBP talks about vision and the motivation system and values. All this great info on the web== amazing!

I also think a lot of people like to act as if the goal of some aesthetic improvement through these stressful activities doesn't exist but on top of the dopamine spike from working out, there is the endless motivator of looking good and also improving our health

@@CarianneRHixson Yeah, I agree, more than ever we are chasing that carrot of eternal youth and vitality. As long as it comes from a place of self improvement and not of self-rejection. It's valid to do whatever we can to feel and look our best.

He has also recommended for people they wake before sunrise to draw or write on a lightboard. They sell them on amazon and you can adjust the brightness. They are pretty bright about $30-100 depending on the size.

You’re awesome! Thanks for helping me reignite my passion for science and remembering what I learned in my science degree many moons ago. You have helped me to help my clients re-ignite their health🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

This is the best podcast I have ever heard on KZread. Thank you Dr. Huberman for helping change lives. ❤️

In case s/one wants to know .. the word 'anecdotally' comes from the word 'anecdote' which originates from from the greek word 'anekdota' ( ανέκδοτα ) and it means unpublished. ( Starting to sound like the father in the movie " My big fat Greek wedding " here, I'm even laughing with myself right now 🤣🤣 ) .. but here we go , Is an+ekdosi where 'an' is like the 'un' and 'ekdosi' ( έκδοση ) means among other things publication . Also 'anekdota' has the meaning of short story we tell so we can bring laughter and even make satire ( like the ones stand up comedian use nowdays ) that usually were unpublished and went spread from mouth to mouth . It comes from ancient satire and tragedies Ps. Is kind of irrelevant from the topic Professor Andrew, but I remember it while rethinking the tools of this podcast in my mind on a break from my work now and I am using the writing on posts , not in agitational way to make me more epinephrine, but the other opposite way I need now.. the way of knowledge that can relax me . I'll leave the confrontational way for moments my cats wake up at 4 in the morning, so I can get out of the bed easily . I enjoyed it this podcast for one more reason. I can follow instructions easily like it or not, but it is always way easier and more pleasant for me , to understand first the mechanisms and the 'why' so I can feel free to make decisions on my own on what to do for me ( definitely need also the tools till I add some my own) .. but even if I end up doing exactly the same given instructions, still it will make me more determine and happier to follow them. Thank you Professor Andrew, so much, for your time and effort .

This podcast is the best ever. Science based rigorous stuff. Dr. Huberman is an excellent teacher. I'm actually taking notes on every episode. Thank you very much for putting together this excellent source of knowledge. Kudos 👏👏👏👏

Thank you so much for the amazing access to such a wealth of knowledge - I recommend your podcasts to all of my friends and personal traiing clients - I hope some time you will come to the east coast and I get to meet you in person - I cannot think you enough for how you have helped me personally and professionally. You are the best!

Great episode Andrew! Can you please tackle IBS/Crohn's/Ulcerative Colitis? In the past 5yrs it seems like almost everyone around me has been plagued with some type of gut inflammation. The stock expert take is that you're stuck with it for life but you can lessen the pain with a very bland diet.

Please post the QnA on IG on your KZread! It's a pain to watch that on IG. Please!!

I'm definitely coming out of a chronic stress situation. While I'm one to change as little as possible about my routines. I like to excersise long and hard, however I've noticed that I get really tired after workouts. Time to change some things so that I can get out of this stressful period in a healthy way. Can always pick it back up in less stressful times. Thank you Andrew, you are a great source of information on how to improve health!

Thank you so much for all the amazing work you do 🙏🏼 we much appreciate it. Sending you endless blessings ♥️

You mentioned that some of these strategies could be counterproductive to someone who is experiencing burnout. Would be great to have an episode on burnout and breakdowns covering what is happening and recovery strategies.

Dr. Huberman, you can only imagine how useful your podcasts are to us Boomers out here. Now that I've reached my sixties, suddenly, all the ways I've lived my life aren't good enough to maintain my health (and I HAVE been pretty health conscious). This info is a great supplement to the care I am getting from medical specialists. Best of all is that your delivery makes the complex information palatable. A heartfelt "thank you" to you and your team for all your work and all your passion!

Thank you so much Andrew, so tremendously interesting and useful, you are giving the best example of the optimized chemicals' balance we should pursue, a calm and clear mind with a high level of energy and motivation, and they are infectious! Deep gratitude

I fall asleep to the rhythm of your soothing voice every night.

I recently started a new extremely demanding job with a baby on the way. Incorporating Dr Hubermans protocols into my daily routine has kept me performing at my best more frequently. Thank you!

Dr. Andrew Huberman, I’ve been following you since before I started my army career (10 months ago; finishing training) I’ve been applying a lot of your research, especially when it came to understanding the basic functions of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system with breathing. It has helped me through the toughest challenges like being away from home and loved ones. Or dealing with high physical and mental demands. I’m originally from San Jose, CA and seeing your videos really hits home (considering you’re from the bay as well haha) Looking forward to reading your books. I hope down the line I can volunteer/participate in one of your studies. Lots and lots of thanks Dr. Andrew Huberman!!

Can't wait to graduate my Masters program in June so I can go back through all of these episodes this summer when I have some time

Hey Professor, thanks for the content, starts my work week off so well! Awhile back you mentioned a couple that had remarkable insights to parenting, just hoping for the name or link to avoid sifting thru the hours again! 😅 New father, reflex is to do some reading up.

Once again a great and helpful episode, thank you!! 🙏☺️ To the people who do the captions - 1:17:20 non sleep deep rest (not breath).. to keep stress clamped.. stress-induced graying of hairs.. 1:26:45 "its increase is not huge".. just so we non-native speakers don't get confused 💪🤗

Most people dread Mondays, but lately as I lay myself down to sleep on Sunday night, I anticipate waking up to have a brand new dose of learning from you, this week's learning for me was about the stomach grownling, which answered a question about my deceased father, he was diagnosed with parkinsonism at age 84, as the disease progressed he was unable to swallow, he lost a lot of weight the last 6 months of his life, his stomach would growled a lot, I always felt sad because I thought he was very hungry and maybe he was but he def. did not chew his food, and now it all makes sense. At an emotional level, I feel comforted about this fact. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Ive heard Mario Alonso Puig talk about “resisting” and “accepting” affects neuroplasticity, i think it can relate on practices to increase energy without increasing stress

This episode is absolutely mindblowing!!!

I literally have stacked 20 pages worth of hyper-condensed notes accumulated from every single episode and it's been great, it incorporates so easy into my dietetics and sports science framework which additionally applies supremely well to accelerate my studying philosophy, and computer and data science at uni. Just a humble flex but that's how much this podcast has done for me, it's the foundation for all of my serious work. Thank you.
