Brief summary: 1) Get sunlight to your eyes for 2-10 minutes when you wake up. 2) Spend two hours outdoors without sunglasses. Every day. 3) Windows are filtering a lot of the light, so it is better to look out directly. 4) For every 90 Minutes of close work. Look out for 20-30 minutes. 5) Looking up creates alertness. If you feel sleepy, look up instead of puting your head below. Though I think it is more of a productivity tip, I don't know how it will improve eye sight. 6) Sleep in fully black room. 7) Looking things in very far, on the horizon, is very hepful. 8) Looking at moving objects and tracking them with eye is helpful. 9) Look an object near you, a pen, for 10 seconds than put it far away for 10 seconds. Then get it near. Do it for 3 minutes or so. 10) In early hours of day, looking at very bright, flashy things can be helpful. Though, findings are new and it look risky tbh. 11) Blinking is very helpful. 12) Buying a snelling chart and tracking your improvement can be helpful.
I just read an article that said UV rays can be harmful to your eyes and cause cataracts. Their solution was to never go outside without sunglasses or blue blocking glasses.
Watched the whole podcast, been doing the suggested eye exercises and sunlight advice for almost a week and my astigmatism has become less noticeable. My vision has become more sharper and certain objects in my room became bit more clearer without my prescription glasses. Thank you Andrew Huberman, I am grateful for your free content and your unselfishness contribution to uploading many educational podcasts for us to watch.
Andrew Huberman PhD is generously circumventing the old, out of date information cartel hierarchies. We can rejoice. And we should be grateful. He's a true educator in the highest sense of the word.
Andrew, you might find this interesting: My son with autism asked me when we were shooting arrows in our small backyard, in how many sections do I detect the arrow's flight. I said 3, maybe 4. He said he sees about 14 segments of movement as the arrow goes by. He has found a good job in animation correcting other people's mistakes!
That is fascinating. I have a lot of questions for you actually. If you don’t mind, could you send me a note at the contact form hubermanlab.com regardless, thank you for your comment!
Tou bring tears to my eyes. No one can ever pay you the kindness you have to share such deep knowledge , for free, for us , simple people. From the deep of my heart i thank you, and i will put you in my daily prays. You are a blessed person.
This podcast (not this episode in particular) is by far the most useful and well explained content I've came across on the internet! I am rigorously going through each one of the episodes and so far, I manage to find something to help me improve my life and habits in every one of the episodes and topics. I am extremely grateful to Prof. Huberman for making this content freely available and so easy to grasp for people with zero scientific background!
Dr HUBERMAN DEFINITELY ROCKS!!! MAY THE LORD BLESS HIM OVER AND OVER FOR HIS EMPATHY AND COMPASSION TOWARD US WHO DO NOT HAVE THIS FANTASTIC KNOWLEDGE!! AWESOME NEUROSCIENTIST!!!💙
Since quarantine began I started taking long walks with my spouse on a trail behind my house. During these walks I'd enjoy birdwatching without binoculars or anything, just my good old eyeballs. My eyesight has noticeably improved! I no longer need to wear glasses or contacts in normal lighting situations. I thought it was simply bc I was strengthening my eyes by focusing on things in the distance. Thanks to this podcast I'm happy to know this simple and free hobby includes far more vision improving protocols; distance viewing, self generated optic flow, near far, smooth pursuit, and it goes towards two hours of outdoor time. Next step is to time the walks with sunrise. Good luck everyone. May we all find joyful ways to include these life changing protocols in our lives. Thanks Dr. H, eternally grateful for your wisdom.
Eyes adapt to their surrounding, just like everything else in nature. It’s too bad you don’t get too many optometrists highlighting the importance of vision habits.
Dr. Huberman, I’m an optometrist. I LOVE your podcasts. As an OD in Wisconsin, I provide ALL eye care outside of surgery or injections. For ANY eye issue or emergency and for regular exams, people should see an optometrist. We then decide if and when they may need to be referred to an ophthalmologist. This is a common misconception amongst the public - that ODs only provide glasses and contacts. Thank you for these podcasts, such a fantastic contribution to public education and health!
100%. Mine diagnosed my CSR the very next morning with an eye health check after symptoms starting most noticeably the night before. Such valuable and accessible professional care over here in UK. Came here hoping Huberman may have touched on this condition explicitly but as of yet haven't found this part.
This has helped me so much. Doctors don't explain things. I'm 72 and trying to keep my eye sight. Thank you so much. Love your channel ❤ A big cuddle to Costello. Love and Blessings to you!!
The way the system is set up doesn't allow for doctors to spend time with their patients, it just allows doctors to just treat the issue as fast as possible and move on. It's definitely tragic, that's why teaching ourselves is the most important thing we can do for ourselves!
@@ninjabreadgirl most of the would be doctors are still in medical schools when most of the medicines they prescribe were made in pharma companies. Do we think that after they graduated from medical school they would research about pharma meds? Lucky for those patients if their doctors do that, so search for doctors who explains. That's why we need to research about the meds we are taking and listen what our body tells.
Huberman has the type of personality that is content by guiding others to improved physical, emotional and mental health. He is truly one in billion & being so highly educated is even more rare.
He’s also very nuanced and extrapolates what he talks about. I personally can’t stand it when someone cares so much about brevity that they end up diluting their message. Andrew is super refreshing IMHO
This is why I absolutely LOVE this channel! Full of practical, useful information on how to get on better in life. Viewing morning and evening sunlight has been a MASSIVE game changer for me. Goodbye groggy mornings and insomnia 😊😊😊
C Quin - I agree. Just getting back on track, though, after NOT doing this for awhile. I got so far off track with my sleep schedule thought I'd never right it again. Just ONE day of early sunlight & an eve walk @ sundown and I woke up totally refreshed early today! Helps that the sun is out bright & early, no gray marine cover for half a day, which was part of the issue with not even feeling motivated to open my front door, much less get outside early :/
@@benjaminperez4570 Oh, really? I must have misunderstood. Thought he said last episode he was doing one more lecture on fitness/endurance, then rest of June would be on depression. Musta been dreaming🙄 (I'm usually reading comments while listening, so I guess I heard him wrong). Thanks for letting me know!
I can't imagine a world without Dr. H. I hope everyone is dialed into the wealth of knowledge. I feel like this episode applies to me I check all the boxes. I'm over 40, I stare at a screen all day, and my vision has taken a turn for the worst. Ophthalmology has adjusted my prescription 2 times in the last 3 years. I'm adding these simple hacks to my New Year's resolution. Even if it never stops raining down here in LA.
This is the video that started it all for me! Without surgery I would be completely blind today. Andrew Huberman started me on my health journey, and I can't thank him enough!
Had been knocking on the door for quite sometime, but after listening to this podcast, Prof. Huberman is officially in my top 5 most admired living humans.
This lines up perfectly with my experience this week of feeling “lost” in my day after moving from a yurt where I am exposed to the natural light all day through my yurt dome and surrounded by windows, basically outdoors much of the day, to an apartment where the natural light coming in is much, much less. I’ve felt like a part of myself and daily rhythms have been off and I can’t quite place myself in my day now that I spend the day inside. This was so helpful in understanding why! Fascinating and helpful.
I appreciate your knowledge so...much! I fell a number of years ago and my eyesight changed & continues to worsen. The 1st optometrist, that I saw ignored what I said about my horrible fall. He told me that my eyesight is worsening because "Black mothers don't protect their children from the sun with sun glasses as children". I was livid; I stopped the exam and demanded my check back. I threatened to report him to the medical board if I received a bill. I should have reported him but ignorance and prejudice is rampant in the medical professional. . I find myself constantly, correcting doctors! Mahalo
Dr Huberman, I really enjoy your podcasts! Not only are they educational and informative, they provide practical tips and exercises we can apply in our daily lives. Thank you!
This episode has made me aware of all the damage I’ve done to myself while working night shift. I’ve been working graveyard hours for almost 10 years now, and I never knew that my declining far-sightedness was most likely attributed from my work hours. The negative effects from lack of sunlight exposure that Dr. Huberman described are EXACTLY what I’ve experienced over the years. I hope there is a way for me to reverse it, as I’m more than willing to make lifestyle changes to compensate for my lack of sunlight.
I had a surgery in the brainstem when I was 20y. All my senses changed and I’m learning so much from your podcast that nobody in the last 8years could explain to me. Thank you so much this helps a lot! I’m really excited for the next episodes.
@@brainfood2399 that's it!! Same to you, please be well, keep growing - let's improve where we can to navigate this beautifully complex world :)) We're definitely getting kind of super - and we are not alone. Much is left, and with such support and information as from Dr. Huberman: that's the way to go! Love the name of your channel btw ;) I'm creating one which will be called The Lazy Blink - relief for tired eyes (etc.)
I am very interested in the exercises you've suggested here. Years ago, my right eye was becoming increasingly blurry. I lived in a very remote location and didn't have access to eye care. At the same time, I began using a 'wobble board' or balance board because I was having proprioception difficulties. On a whim, I decided to try to balance while closing both eyes/left eye/right eye and then both eyes open. Over time I noticed an improvement in near/far focus in my right eye, so was encouraged to keep it up. After a year, when I went for an eye test (motor vehicle), I no longer needed glasses to drive. A further year passed and I saw an ophthalmologist for an unrelated issue. She told me that my vision and eye health was great. In light of that experience, I continue to use the wobble board to this day, especially as I have had cardiovascular damage that I'm working to resolve. I notice that my vision is worse now and am hoping the wobble board will improve it and my general health, yet again. Thank you so much for your stimulating podcasts. I've been a fan of yours for several years aa I initially came across your work in regards to breathing exercises. You are providing an incredible service to humanity.
This is very interesting. Can I ask what the link it betweem wobble board and sight? Did you read about this somewhere first? How has progress been since your post? Many thanks.
Your gift to pass on your knowledge can make life better for anyone who follows your advice. Your ability to explain and teach makes it easy to understand. I would be willing to pay but at no charge is a true gift from one of the smartest person on the web. Thank you!
I love how your whole being lights up with your passion and excitement for your subjects, your enthusiasm is so infectious. Thank you so much for all your wonderfully fascinating videos and the valuable tools you share with us.
After listening to some of your podcast, I put fabric over a window in my bedroom to keep out the light from my neighbors' outdoor lamp (shines brightly all night through) and voilà, sleep quality restored. No more waking up and not being able to fall asleep again as had been happening since I moved into this studio 6 months ago. Thank you!
I'm 16 and want to ensure that i can see well for the rest of my life i've already been doing the 20/20/20 rule and now i'll follow some of these guidelines for eye health. Thanks!
Love the zero cost education that I am receiving from this podcast. Thank you for your that Andrew! I love to empathize with struggles pronouncing new words more than anything else. Makes me smile 😊
As an optometry student in Brisbane, Australia, thank you for a very comprehensive listen on eye health. I'll be sure to recommend this to any interested patients 🙂
I would think it would be foundational to inform every one of your patients. This is key information for the lifestyle we now live with hand held devices etc..
Read the book called fixing my gaze by Susan are Barry PHD. It may inspire you to become certified in vision training. There are more than children you would be able to help as you will see if you read the book. You will enjoy it a great deal she’s a neurobiologist. She goes into the science of what happened to her when her stereopsis was restored at age 48. In this doctor Huberman is not correct. Stereopsis is not permanently lost if not addressed in youth.
What I love most about your remarkable podcast is how my sense of agency over my own life with it's challenges is growing episode by episode. My heartfelt thanks to you Dr H and your awesome team!
Lovely! Thank you! In addition to the interesting information, you clearly have a deep appreciation for the complex beauty of the human body. If only everyone shared that passion. I'm 65, but what I see every day still astounds me, and I can't comprehend how others don't feel the same. 🤷🏼♀️
I work in health settings in London in UK and I wish we had at least few of the health professionals just like him in any health settings. Thank you very much for your time, energy and sharing your knowledge with the world. Most appreciated.
Doc, I just came to the awareness of you & your energy via your UA-cam channel yesterday. I AM currently listening to this podcast. The nerd in me is eating this info up & it is so nourishing to my thirsty soul. You are simply brilliant & I love how you are able to connect with us beautiful souls in a relatable, cool & three dimensional way. I AM so looking forward to learning from you & the other teachers/scientist you recommend to us. Thank you kindly. I AM so very grateful! 💙🙏💙
I could not watch the end of this video, but I know that wearing eye glasses to correct vision is the worst thing anyone can do for their eyes. I improved my eyesight by reducing my lens power progressively down until I can now see without glasses and drive without them. And age is not the issue, I am 68 years with better vision than when I was 30. I have also done many eye exercises. Vision, like Huberman says is mental, but in the form of stress, causing the eye muscles to change the lens shape. By removing the stress and exercising the muscles, complete normal vision is possible. Prove it to yourself by googling natural vision approach to eye care. all the best
Muscles of the face mainly lips are the most powerful, they can inducing a reshape in extraocular muscles that hold the eyeballs and cornea. Upper lip, always down, tongue strenghten up, always awareness on tongue when not speaking, eating or drinking. The pencil push-ups drill should tension the face muscles when bringing the pencil close and releasing the tension as moving it further. Its a normal human reflex to tension our face when something comes too close. Myopes they lose its reflex, in reverse mode they do that for distance, they defend themselves from something distant.
@@violaip to get less powerful lens, do not visit the optician, but the lens seller, write the prescription with a lower power magnitude of 0.25 in both eyes, and tell this is the perception you want, no argument. If they refuse, try another
Hey Andrew, your podcast is probably the single most useful resource that I’ve ever found and I appreciate you giving us all this information for free. Is there any possibility for a quick discussion in one of the future episodes about the most optimal protocols for storing and retaining information from lectures? I mean what should one do in preparation for and during lectures (taking notes, writing questions to test yourself later, etc.) to optimize the learning process?
I know you want a response from Dr. Huberman, but I thought, I will give my two cents anyway. Taking notes is definitely a good way to memorize, since during the writing down you internally repeat the information. Since most people can type faster than they can write, it may even be beneficial to write by hand, since you repeat it for longer internally. Of course this process is difficult in a live lecture, because you may miss other information. But in a format like this, where you can pause a video it is great. Afterwards summarizing the info is also good, since you have to basically explain the information in your own words again (opposed to just copying word by word), which gives a deeper understanding. Enjoy studying!
He explains in the episode: Using Failures, Movement & Balance to Learn Faster | Huberman Lab Podcast #7, what one can do before learning. I would guess that during a learning session you should start with increasing your focus (with eye movment). Maybe for learning new stuff it is usefull to not start at the basic but a bit higher so that you make mistakes and you get more plasticity. But I don´t know
@@real.psyched Interesting timing, I just looked into this last night. There was a paper that made a splash in 2014, suggesting that hand-written notes are considerably more effective. The suggestion was both as you say and also that hand-writing is spatially more complex, non-linear and so...(reaching here) requires more reorganization and, etc., so you retain better. But the results didn't replicate a few years later, and there's anohter paper suggesting no real dif between typing, hand-writing, and no notes at all--assuming people who took notes have'nt gone back and reviewed. So probably it's just very individual. I'd think, as you say, in general going slower and avoiding the temptation to transcribe is better. I took remarkably few notes in graduate school in a challenging program and did well, but I think for many others that would not have worked. Them's my thoughts...!
Never will I understand why anyone gives these videos the thumbs down. I'm assuming someone's hand slipped. These podcasts are amongst the most useful videos on the internet!
I think people are so used to being "entertained" with funny/ridiculous/outrageous magical hacks and topics, they get bored with science. That's the only explanation I can think of.
Diet is a very big element. My optician told me my eyesight had improved (which is not unusual). The only thing I was doing differently was eating healthier, vegetables, fruits, and good quality food
Shhh. Don't give YT any ideas. All kidding aside, Andrew Huberman PhD is generously circumventing the old information cartel hierarchies. We can rejoice.
Thank you for sparking many of your viewers' interest in science and also satisfying their interest with distilled plain English information that is neither oversimplied nor too esoteric.
This video might change my whole life. I've always deemed myself as a genius. But bad eyesight has impaired my ability for everything. I won't explain anymore. Just thanks for sharing your knowledge
I listen to these episodes over and over and over until I can almost repeat the information, almost word for word (although I’m much better at pronouncing astaxanthin 😄). I can not say how important and helpful certain episodes have been to me. None of them can be too long for me. (I listened to Reinhard Veith’s lecture on Vitamin D in one session over and over again, too. It changed my life, too. I was dying and didn’t know it).
For Dry Eye: There are tiny little holes near the base of your eyelashes that dispense body oil onto the eyeball with every blink. These get clogged up with old oil, dust, particles, etc. Wash your eyelids to remove the oil plugs (it might take a few washings) to allow the body's natural oils to release onto the eyeball when you blink which is what is supposed to happen. Make a solution of 1Tbs Johnson & Johnson Baby Shampoo and 3Tbs water (very mild). Dip a soft cloth into the solution and cleans the eyelash area for a minute or two, rinse. My Ophthalmologist gave me these directions and they work great. Also, use eyedrops with hyaluronic acid in them such as HyloForte. Hyaluronic acid actually hydrates tissues. Other eye drops contain propylene glycol (medical grade), an oil, that attempts to hold moisture in but doesn't do anything to add moisture to the tissues. My dry eye has all but gone away.
I would never wash my eyes with any kind of face soap, it's not necessary, rinse eyes w/distilled water and a few drops of contact lense fluid in a clean fine-spray bottle is all I use when needed (because it keeps bacteria from forming) which occurs when we touch our eyes for whatever reasons we do that, or as you said, from all sorts of particles or computer screen eye strain....
Andrew I just want to let you know about how you've changed my life at least in one aspect. I used to struggle to run even a mile's distance and would think my lungs would collapse because of the way I was furiously wheezing. I incorporated your double inhale and exhale technique and it worked wonders. I am able to run above four miles comfortably and can complete a mile in half the time I took before incorporating the technique. Thanks a ton! Your service means a lot and has helped changed the life of so many for the better
I want 2 sincerely thank you for this video. It was totally captivating !I have never learned so much in 1 sitting than all the time I spent In nursing school! I extremely appreciate Your ability to obtain knowledge And being able to Translate it Into a communicative form that the majority of us can understand... thank you for that
I appreciate you and what you and your team do and that includes Big C for providing the soundtrack for the episodes. I have not started thus episode yet but I woke up at 4 and couldn't get back to sleep and am thinking about the following: 💭How does neuroscience distinguish between intelligence, knowledge and wisdom? I'm just fascinated by how raw intelligence manifest itself without schooling. 💭Is discipline simply reinforced conditioning? What's the difference between discipline and habit? Is it just levels of discomfort? 💭 Is discipline a close relative to addiction? 💭 Can we get high on just about anything if we hook ourselves to it? Thank you Andrew! I hope what you do in public education brings you equal amount of joy (or more) as it benefits me.
I can not possibly thank you enough to match the level of my gratitude for everything I’ve learned from you over the years. I share your wisdom and knowledge far and wide and it gives me such great joy to do so, it allows me to feel somewhat connected to the possibility of literally changing the world. I also want to say that I feel the pureness of your motivation and of your heart and soul. You influence and heal people in ways that I hope you fully realize. Because I hope you realize how awesome you are and what a positive influence you are in the world. Thank you. So very much.
It is Tues over here and I have been hanging out for 24hrs for this podcast and it's my fav topic and I am just going to listen cos I can't keep up the pace of writing
Andrew Huberman is every bit as clear and succinct of a speaker as Jordan Peterson! This makes for easy listening and learning. I look forward to many more of his podcasts.
Except tools are also information. Anything that isn't a material object is information. Religion. Scientific Discoveries. Plans. Schematics. Literature. History. ALL Information.
I really appreciate your podcast, Doc Huberman. I've had a few things happen to my eyes - a detached retina, subsequent surgery and resulting cataract and its treatment and now I'm in my late 40s having to wear multifocals with their narrow field of focus, which gets me down. But hey, my vision was saved and I'm so thankful I can see. I struggle a little now with depth perception - I've wondered at times if the changes to my eyes have affected my thinking - both cognition and mood... I guess you could say outlook in the senses of visual and mental. What you've detailed seems to confirm that it's all been a bit of a wrestling match for my brain. But you've also given me some tools. Eye care bills can be eye-watering... huge thanks for how you want to and do give zero-cost knowledge. More power to you!
This has been one of the greatest channels I have stumbled upon. I’m starting from the beginning until I catch up, and am already seeing so many benefits from gaining an understanding of what’s going on internally. Thank you Dr. Huberman!
My sister in law with 4 young children (2 sets of twins) developed a massive brain tumor in her frontal lobe following a bad case of Covid in Dec2021. May be from spike protein induced changes to cells behind the nasal cavity. Doctors were able to remove the tumor but she is now completely blind. I’m hoping this episode will help me to help her somehow. Thank you, Dr. Huberman. We love & appreciate you more than words can say! 💖🙏🏼😇
Thank you for the great content, you are one of the best teachers I listened, and I'm both furious and shocked that content like this is not taught at schools.
We focus to read, cook, computer, drive looking straight ahead. The eyes get stuck the mind stiff. Dr. Bates found certain exercises that relax those muscles and healed many elementary students needing glasses to see perfectly. One of them they teach now in India at an Ashram, is to close eyes, then circle your hand around fisted closed while also turning your head. Then the other direction. I love it I feel it actually stimulates my pineal or pituitary gland behind the eyes. I find instant bliss, euphoric electricity, instantly.
I’d love to have a whole month dedicated to adolescence, puberty, and growing up. It would be awesome to know how to best utilize these critical periods. Keep up the amazing work!
I also nominate Dr. Huberman for a Nobel Prize! thank you for the fine eloquence in which you share science with us. Your special voice, along with your brain and speech are gifts given to you and to us.
Thank you Andrew for your thoughtful research... this is such a critical topic. Very few can really appreciate how important this sense is and how impactful its loss is until it's gone.
I m an Opthalmologist and watched the full episode and would like to congratulate you on the clear and pratical tips provided! I would emphasize the value of avoiding prolonged reading in portable devices (phone tablet etc..) particularly in children! Also praticing an open field sport is proved to delay myopia and for persons working in environments with particles (chemical, textil fabrics , gardening farming or animals) use frequent lubricating drops to prevent dry or irritable eyes
I love him and his podcasts but I am particularly interested in knowing something Dr Hubermamn didn't actually specify directly but perhaps touched on it peripherally.. If you start developing myopia as you age.. at its first instance is it not better to avoid wearing reading glasses which correct and compensate vision, essentially accomodating the eyes' increasing muscular weakness and instead work on eye strengthening exercises so that the muscles don't get used to the weakened status and strengthens the muscles to regain the original state of vision?
I truly enjoyed your first podcast regarding the senses. Eyesight is just so important and what we can do to protect our own is vital. Thank you so very much. ))
The limitation of our knowledge (or even anti knowledge) is well mentioned so that it doesn't have a contradiction on the natural behavior of our life system. Great.
Thank you so much for your priceless sharing. I’ve been working with Zeaxanthin and especially Astaxanthin (amazing multi uses) for about 15 yrs professionally. The way it’s pronounced in my circles are ZEE-ah-zanthin and as-TACK-zanthin. It’s a tongue twister without the pronunciation help. Thank you for your bravery, vulnerability and authenticity. Your help heals many.
I was born with lazy eye. Had the patch. then glasses. Finally at ag 35 had laser surgery which was great. Now it's worn off and they say can not redo it. PLEASE address laser surgery and what to do when it's worn off. I love this podcast !!!!!!!
THANK YOU FOR THE PRICELESS INFORMATION SHARED ABOUT PANORAMIC SIGHT TO RELAX OUR EYES…and SHORT DISTANCE SIGHT …HOW IT AFFECTS OUR EYESIGHT…I HAVE ONLY HEARD ABOUT THESE NOW, BLESSINGS 💖🍃….THE IMPORTANCE OF SPENDING TWO HOURS OUTDOORS FOR SUNLIGHT TO BENEFIT OUR VISION…..THEY ARE ALL VALID, MAKE SENSE…
Thank you so much for your podcast! I'm a scientific illustrator in Boston and you do an exquisite job making complex concepts accessible to the layman. 6 years ago I was under a TREMENDOUS amount of stress and suffered from an episode of optic neuritis. My neurologist and neuro-ophthalmologist wanted to put me on immunomodulators for MS, but I decided first to make stress reduction my #1 priority. So far so good - no more episodes of optic neuritis or progression to MS. Do any of your podcast episodes cover the MS/stress connection? Thank you so much for sharing your work with all of us.
My daughter and I watched most of this today! (Until she needed a nap haha) The eyes have always been so fascinating. LOVE this episode and I am sharing these tools with others. You’re doing some incredible things with your time. 👏👏👏 Great job 🙏🙏
I couldn’t love this podcast more! I particularly enjoy the references to Castello (sp?) the accuracy of detail, the biochemistry, the nonjudgmental nature, the dedication to science. I really appreciate the practical ways given so they we can enjoy healthier, happier lives. Thank you so much!
Yes, salmonella is on the outside of the egg. Dr. Huberman, thank you for all of your videos. I’m in urologist and probably have learned more from you than I did during residency and fellowship. I especially appreciate how you present your information and the ease of the manner in which you communicate your knowledge is astounding. Respectfully, a huge fan.
Thank you huberman sir . In January, i got for the first time eyeglasses . And i was disheartened for getting glasses at mere age of 17 . Today ( june ) , i took the eye test again i got rid of my cylindrical power only spherical remaining which is stagnant as measured in january and my eyes didn't degraded on the spherical front. Thanks it gives me more motivation to follow the schedule .
I was born with one closed eye. I’ve had 3 eye muscle operations to straighten it. When I was 2-3 in 1957, I had an eye patch on my “good” eye for 6 weeks. When they took it off I was blind for several days. I still remember that my vision started coming back from the bottom of my vision, floor up. I never gained binocular vision although I once had it for about 1 minute after going to an osteopath. I walk every day at sunrise for 2 hours. Thanks for this podcast!
ANDREW I MUST SAY YOU'RE A GEM OF A PERSON!!!!!! IS THERE SOMEONE ELSE LIKE HIM WHO IS EDUCATING WITH THAT DETAIL ? I AM WORRIED THAT I MIGHT BE MISSING MORE AMAZING PEOPLE LIKE HIM
Great episode! I think this topic unleashed his inner Italian! look at the excitement in his eyes and those animated hand gestures! :) I still remember him talking about how birds of prey can see the differences between blades of grass! Truly fascinating topic! My grandma turns 105 this year, she got Lasik surgery at 85. When she looked at herself in the mirror she said " If I would have known I looked this old, I would have never gotten this surgery! :) What can I say vanity runs in the family :) Go outside, what a concept. I never thought as a child that our modern life would get us to this point, but here we are. Thank you for another great episode, Andrew and Team.
Hi there! My right eye never learned to focus right, and now that I have an issue with my left eye my eye doctor tells me it's "too late to teach the right eye." It just never learned to communicate with the brain, but there is nothing physically wrong with it. I ignored the good doctor and got myself an eye patch, which I wear in the morning while doing my morning chores. After only a week, I can actually read with my lazy eye. It's blurry, but I was able to go through some of my email today! The eye gets tired, so I am careful pacing the process in a gradual way. I think this will work. The issue with my left eye, for which I'll be seeing a specialist, has a silver lining in that it forced me to ask my lazy eye to start working. Hooray for neuroplasticity even in my fifth decade! Thank you for all your podcasts. They clued me into believing that with a bit of discomfort, just about anything is possible.
You can tell you’re passionate about this subject! You smile a lot more & are more animated in this podcast! lovely to see this & as ever very informative, thank you Andrew 👀 🤓 💕
I can't thank you enough for talking in depth about this. I feel like there's hope for my eyes. What a lifesaver❤ going to watch everything you have to offer.
I have a brain injury connected to my right eye. I had prism’s glasses made for me. I was shocked they were working laying on my nightstand. It’s amazing the technology we know of. I’m so Thankful for these videos this eye one, but all sense’s. I’ve always been very hypersensitive. Smell taste sight hearing & feel.
My dad always said that he could see better at close up when he was under natural sun light. He had 20/15 far sight and spent alot of time outdoors and now I believe that is why he didn't need reading glasses as early as others his age.
Thank you so much Andrew. You are included in my gratitude each day. All the information you are providing is so important and beneficial to everyone. Your style of delivery is fantastic. You are enjoyable to listen to and have the ability to make this complex material fun, intereting an easily applicable to the average person. Thank you. I look forward to all of your content.
Hello professor! Thanks to this episode, I think I finally got the motivation and the hope that the case with my eyesight is not hopeless and can really be improved. It really gave the the desire to take care of the one of our senses that takes up so much real estate in our brain! I have myopia, which developed gradually from my mid-early teens (it now got to the point where distant street lights look like abstract, radiating sunflowers if I don’t wear corrective lenses), and is most probably hereditary since in my immediate family, my mom and her mom have/had it, so going against genetic predisposition will surely be a challenge, but I still want to try. I made an excel file to help me with implementing each of the protocols every day (I don't aim at perfection, but to just fit the practices I can when I can in my day and track what I actually did). For one, eggs and raw carrots have been present in my food almost every day for months now. I must already have started taking care of my eyesight on a sub-conscious level haha. Although, for vit A : if I am correct, liver is highest in it, but it’s also mostly unpalatable. I have tried to be open minded about it, but once a month has been my maximum so far (unfortunately, and you can laugh all you want, but as I found out, leaving it in vinegar for a few hours to help with the taste barely helps). I try to limit the use of corrective lenses and wear them only when really necessary (in a classroom for example because I cannot see the writing/text on the board otherwise) but I wonder, for many of the protocols concerning eye training : does each have to be done with or without (or it doesn’t matter) corrective lenses? If I remember correctly, you said for example that it is better with glasses when looking at morning light to better distinguish blue/yellow contrast. In daytime, especially when the sun is out, when I go out, I just have to wear sunglasses, because even if I don’t specifically look at the sky, it is still too bright for my eyes (maybe because I have less protection than brown eyes? I have green eyes), will this still be ok for improving eyesight? Also, just out of curiosity, I have always wondered but never got a clear answer about myopia: does it offset or cancel presbyopia Final question; is presbyopia reversible with the protocols or is it inevitable and everyone will eventually get it with age? Have a great day! Dinara P.S. Judging by the various types of humor in this episode, especially about the animals and doing eye exercises in class I am happy this theme is something you enjoy teaching a lot aswell! About “I was not consulted at the beginning” : someone definitely needs to keep such hubris in check anyways, otherwise it can become dangerous pretty fast haha! Also, and this is totally subjective, but so far and in the future, I have no intention of being the one complaining that the episodes are getting longer than 90 mins :)
Thank you for drawing out so many different angles in this conversation, especially regarding diagnosis of Alzheimer’s and other neurological diseases as well as light exposure treatments. Great podcast!
What an amazing episode!! I have been reading a lot about the subject so some bits and pieces I heard here and there and then looked for science to see what was really true. But I could not glue all of it successfully. Dr. H you have glued and clarified so much so far and I haven’t even had the chance to listen to the full episode! Thank you
So glad we're going to discuss interoception and mental health! I hope you also discuss addiction and neuroscience based tools to aid addiction/bad habits etc. I am I believe TOO interoceptive! I also suffer from many mental illnesses and a rare sleep disorder (idiopathic hypersomnia) ADHD, Anxiety, Major Depressive Disorder, panic disorder
Shannon thx for sharing your disorders as I’m sure you have helped me identify things that are going on with my self for years I’m sure but never had anyone look into it further as I’ve had to manage it myself & thanks to you I’m sure it’s enabled me to give it a name/ identity/ identify so helping me to a better place so thanks & I am a guy I know my I’d is funny but I’m a fella & it’s just a quick note to say thanks for your sharing & help - I’m sure it seems weird. But all the best for you wising so much more better in the future. x D.
Brief summary:
1) Get sunlight to your eyes for 2-10 minutes when you wake up.
2) Spend two hours outdoors without sunglasses. Every day.
3) Windows are filtering a lot of the light, so it is better to look out directly.
4) For every 90 Minutes of close work. Look out for 20-30 minutes.
5) Looking up creates alertness. If you feel sleepy, look up instead of puting your head below. Though I think it is more of a productivity tip, I don't know how it will improve eye sight.
6) Sleep in fully black room.
7) Looking things in very far, on the horizon, is very hepful.
8) Looking at moving objects and tracking them with eye is helpful.
9) Look an object near you, a pen, for 10 seconds than put it far away for 10 seconds. Then get it near. Do it for 3 minutes or so.
10) In early hours of day, looking at very bright, flashy things can be helpful. Though, findings are new and it look risky tbh.
11) Blinking is very helpful.
12) Buying a snelling chart and tracking your improvement can be helpful.
Thanks
Thank you!!!!
I just read an article that said UV rays can be harmful to your eyes and cause cataracts. Their solution was to never go outside without sunglasses or blue blocking glasses.
Thank you :)

Watched the whole podcast, been doing the suggested eye exercises and sunlight advice for almost a week and my astigmatism has become less noticeable. My vision has become more sharper and certain objects in my room became bit more clearer without my prescription glasses.
Thank you Andrew Huberman, I am grateful for your free content and your unselfishness contribution to uploading many educational podcasts for us to watch.
No UV light in the first and last hour of the day. You can get your vitamin D without the damage of harmful UV rays.😊
Andrew Huberman PhD is generously circumventing the old, out of date information cartel hierarchies. We can rejoice. And we should be grateful. He's a true educator in the highest sense of the word.
Well said.
Agreed
Amen
Yes! And funny!
Gospel!
Thanks for putting my exact sentiment into words.
Andrew, you might find this interesting: My son with autism asked me when we were shooting arrows in our small backyard, in how many sections do I detect the arrow's flight. I said 3, maybe 4. He said he sees about 14 segments of movement as the arrow goes by. He has found a good job in animation correcting other people's mistakes!
That is fascinating. I have a lot of questions for you actually. If you don’t mind, could you send me a note at the contact form hubermanlab.com regardless, thank you for your comment!
Oliver Sacks has written about this phenomenon in several of his books and Jason Padget suffers from it after a brain injury.
That’s so interesting and valueable not trying to kill him but giving him a job he is able to do vs another
Great 👍
Cool.

This podcast (not this episode in particular) is by far the most useful and well explained content I've came across on the internet! I am rigorously going through each one of the episodes and so far, I manage to find something to help me improve my life and habits in every one of the episodes and topics. I am extremely grateful to Prof. Huberman for making this content freely available and so easy to grasp for people with zero scientific background!
Just what I just got typing. Yup. EVERYTHING is interesting, regardless of topic. Privietik.
I agree
Yes!!! Exactly what I was going to write! Thank you!
Dr HUBERMAN DEFINITELY ROCKS!!! MAY THE LORD BLESS HIM OVER AND OVER FOR HIS EMPATHY AND COMPASSION TOWARD US WHO DO NOT HAVE THIS FANTASTIC KNOWLEDGE!!
AWESOME NEUROSCIENTIST!!!💙
Since quarantine began I started taking long walks with my spouse on a trail behind my house. During these walks I'd enjoy birdwatching without binoculars or anything, just my good old eyeballs. My eyesight has noticeably improved! I no longer need to wear glasses or contacts in normal lighting situations. I thought it was simply bc I was strengthening my eyes by focusing on things in the distance. Thanks to this podcast I'm happy to know this simple and free hobby includes far more vision improving protocols; distance viewing, self generated optic flow, near far, smooth pursuit, and it goes towards two hours of outdoor time. Next step is to time the walks with sunrise. Good luck everyone. May we all find joyful ways to include these life changing protocols in our lives. Thanks Dr. H, eternally grateful for your wisdom.
Eyes adapt to their surrounding, just like everything else in nature. It’s too bad you don’t get too many optometrists highlighting the importance of vision habits.
Dr. Huberman, I’m an optometrist. I LOVE your podcasts. As an OD in Wisconsin, I provide ALL eye care outside of surgery or injections. For ANY eye issue or emergency and for regular exams, people should see an optometrist. We then decide if and when they may need to be referred to an ophthalmologist. This is a common misconception amongst the public - that ODs only provide glasses and contacts. Thank you for these podcasts, such a fantastic contribution to public education and health!
100%. Mine diagnosed my CSR the very next morning with an eye health check after symptoms starting most noticeably the night before. Such valuable and accessible professional care over here in UK. Came here hoping Huberman may have touched on this condition explicitly but as of yet haven't found this part.

This has helped me so much. Doctors don't explain things. I'm 72 and trying to keep my eye sight. Thank you so much. Love your channel ❤
A big cuddle to Costello. Love and Blessings to you!!
The way the system is set up doesn't allow for doctors to spend time with their patients, it just allows doctors to just treat the issue as fast as possible and move on. It's definitely tragic, that's why teaching ourselves is the most important thing we can do for ourselves!
@@ninjabreadgirl most of the would be doctors are still in medical schools when most of the medicines they prescribe were made in pharma companies. Do we think that after they graduated from medical school they would research about pharma meds? Lucky for those patients if their doctors do that, so search for doctors who explains. That's why we need to research about the meds we are taking and listen what our body tells.
I'm 77.
Huberman has the type of personality that is content by guiding others to improved physical, emotional and mental health. He is truly one in billion & being so highly educated is even more rare.
He’s also very nuanced and extrapolates what he talks about. I personally can’t stand it when someone cares so much about brevity that they end up diluting their message. Andrew is super refreshing IMHO
@@joevaghn457 Agreed
just lacks proper pronunciation skills of LATIN terms ....
😂 he is just entertainer with limited scientific understanding.
This is why I absolutely LOVE this channel! Full of practical, useful information on how to get on better in life. Viewing morning and evening sunlight has been a MASSIVE game changer for me. Goodbye groggy mornings and insomnia 😊😊😊
C Quin - I agree. Just getting back on track, though, after NOT doing this for awhile. I got so far off track with my sleep schedule thought I'd never right it again. Just ONE day of early sunlight & an eve walk @ sundown and I woke up totally refreshed early today! Helps that the sun is out bright & early, no gray marine cover for half a day, which was part of the issue with not even feeling motivated to open my front door, much less get outside early :/
Hmm...somehow I thought this month was going to be all about depression??? Could have sworn Huberman said that sometime in May!

Thanks for letting me know!
@@barbarafairbanks4578 no problem!
I can't imagine a world without Dr. H. I hope everyone is dialed into the wealth of knowledge. I feel like this episode applies to me I check all the boxes. I'm over 40, I stare at a screen all day, and my vision has taken a turn for the worst. Ophthalmology has adjusted my prescription 2 times in the last 3 years. I'm adding these simple hacks to my New Year's resolution. Even if it never stops raining down here in LA.
😂
what are the results now??? @Gregoz987
This is the video that started it all for me! Without surgery I would be completely blind today. Andrew Huberman started me on my health journey, and I can't thank him enough!

This lines up perfectly with my experience this week of feeling “lost” in my day after moving from a yurt where I am exposed to the natural light all day through my yurt dome and surrounded by windows, basically outdoors much of the day, to an apartment where the natural light coming in is much, much less. I’ve felt like a part of myself and daily rhythms have been off and I can’t quite place myself in my day now that I spend the day inside. This was so helpful in understanding why! Fascinating and helpful.
I appreciate your knowledge so...much! I fell a number of years ago and my eyesight changed & continues to worsen. The 1st optometrist, that I saw ignored what I said about my horrible fall. He told me that my eyesight is worsening because "Black mothers don't protect their children from the sun with sun glasses as children". I was livid; I stopped the exam and demanded my check back. I threatened to report him to the medical board if I received a bill. I should have reported him but ignorance and prejudice is rampant in the medical professional. . I find myself constantly, correcting doctors! Mahalo
What the heck? I'm glad you did not pay for that visit of ignorance.
Insane that you had to go through this😮
Dr Huberman, I really enjoy your podcasts! Not only are they educational and informative, they provide practical tips and exercises we can apply in our daily lives. Thank you!
This episode has made me aware of all the damage I’ve done to myself while working night shift. I’ve been working graveyard hours for almost 10 years now, and I never knew that my declining far-sightedness was most likely attributed from my work hours. The negative effects from lack of sunlight exposure that Dr. Huberman described are EXACTLY what I’ve experienced over the years. I hope there is a way for me to reverse it, as I’m more than willing to make lifestyle changes to compensate for my lack of sunlight.
Dr Huberman knows his stuff. I try to listen to his teachings as often as possible. He is a good man.
I had a surgery in the brainstem when I was 20y. All my senses changed and I’m learning so much from your podcast that nobody in the last 8years could explain to me. Thank you so much this helps a lot! I’m really excited for the next episodes.
Same here: Dr. Huberman is giving a voice to my experiences / distorted perception / fatigue post concussion... Grateful.
Take care and let’s keep learning and get kind of SUPER 💪 (at least a little wiser)!
@@brainfood2399 that's it!! Same to you, please be well, keep growing - let's improve where we can to navigate this beautifully complex world :)) We're definitely getting kind of super - and we are not alone. Much is left, and with such support and information as from Dr. Huberman: that's the way to go!
Love the name of your channel btw ;) I'm creating one which will be called The Lazy Blink - relief for tired eyes (etc.)
Great name! Have fun creating
@@brainfood2399 You too! :) and thanks for the kind exchange (Kind of SUPER ;)
I am very interested in the exercises you've suggested here. Years ago, my right eye was becoming increasingly blurry. I lived in a very remote location and didn't have access to eye care. At the same time, I began using a 'wobble board' or balance board because I was having proprioception difficulties. On a whim, I decided to try to balance while closing both eyes/left eye/right eye and then both eyes open. Over time I noticed an improvement in near/far focus in my right eye, so was encouraged to keep it up. After a year, when I went for an eye test (motor vehicle), I no longer needed glasses to drive. A further year passed and I saw an ophthalmologist for an unrelated issue. She told me that my vision and eye health was great. In light of that experience, I continue to use the wobble board to this day, especially as I have had cardiovascular damage that I'm working to resolve. I notice that my vision is worse now and am hoping the wobble board will improve it and my general health, yet again. Thank you so much for your stimulating podcasts. I've been a fan of yours for several years aa I initially came across your work in regards to breathing exercises. You are providing an incredible service to humanity.
This is very interesting. Can I ask what the link it betweem wobble board and sight? Did you read about this somewhere first? How has progress been since your post? Many thanks.
Your gift to pass on your knowledge can make life better for anyone who follows your advice. Your ability to explain and teach makes it easy to understand. I would be willing to pay but at no charge is a true gift from one of the smartest person on the web. Thank you!
I love how your whole being lights up with your passion and excitement for your subjects, your enthusiasm is so infectious. Thank you so much for all your wonderfully fascinating videos and the valuable tools you share with us.

Even ur personality is like the Jesus I saw in my dream!
After listening to some of your podcast, I put fabric over a window in my bedroom to keep out the light from my neighbors' outdoor lamp (shines brightly all night through) and voilà, sleep quality restored. No more waking up and not being able to fall asleep again as had been happening since I moved into this studio 6 months ago. Thank you!
I'm 16 and want to ensure that i can see well for the rest of my life i've already been doing the 20/20/20 rule and now i'll follow some of these guidelines for eye health. Thanks!
Love the zero cost education that I am receiving from this podcast. Thank you for your that Andrew! I love to empathize with struggles pronouncing new words more than anything else. Makes me smile 😊
Can you inform us in your own good time about the prognosis of retinitis pigmentosa?

As an optometry student in Brisbane, Australia, thank you for a very comprehensive listen on eye health. I'll be sure to recommend this to any interested patients 🙂
I would think it would be foundational to inform every one of your patients. This is key information for the lifestyle we now live with hand held devices etc..
Read the book called fixing my gaze by Susan are Barry PHD. It may inspire you to become certified in vision training. There are more than children you would be able to help as you will see if you read the book. You will enjoy it a great deal she’s a neurobiologist. She goes into the science of what happened to her when her stereopsis was restored at age 48. In this doctor Huberman is not correct. Stereopsis is not permanently lost if not addressed in youth.

a brilliantly expressed idea. You’re so right! Our kids need this type of challenging education from day 1!
Lovely! Thank you!
In addition to the interesting information, you clearly have a deep appreciation for the complex beauty of the human body.

I could not watch the end of this video, but I know that wearing eye glasses to correct vision is the worst thing anyone can do for their eyes. I improved my eyesight by reducing my lens power progressively down until I can now see without glasses and drive without them. And age is not the issue, I am 68 years with better vision than when I was 30. I have also done many eye exercises. Vision, like Huberman says is mental, but in the form of stress, causing the eye muscles to change the lens shape. By removing the stress and exercising the muscles, complete normal vision is possible. Prove it to yourself by googling natural vision approach to eye care. all the best
How did you buy the reduced lens power glasses? I’ve searched online but they require a recent script
Muscles of the face mainly lips are the most powerful, they can inducing a reshape in extraocular muscles that hold the eyeballs and cornea.
Upper lip, always down, tongue strenghten up, always awareness on tongue when not speaking, eating or drinking.
The pencil push-ups drill should tension the face muscles when bringing the pencil close and releasing the tension as moving it further.
Its a normal human reflex to tension our face when something comes too close. Myopes they lose its reflex, in reverse mode they do that for distance, they defend themselves from something distant.
@@violaip to get less powerful lens, do not visit the optician, but the lens seller, write the prescription with a lower power magnitude of 0.25 in both eyes, and tell this is the perception you want, no argument. If they refuse, try another
Hey Andrew, your podcast is probably the single most useful resource that I’ve ever found and I appreciate you giving us all this information for free. Is there any possibility for a quick discussion in one of the future episodes about the most optimal protocols for storing and retaining information from lectures? I mean what should one do in preparation for and during lectures (taking notes, writing questions to test yourself later, etc.) to optimize the learning process?
I know you want a response from Dr. Huberman, but I thought, I will give my two cents anyway. Taking notes is definitely a good way to memorize, since during the writing down you internally repeat the information. Since most people can type faster than they can write, it may even be beneficial to write by hand, since you repeat it for longer internally.
Of course this process is difficult in a live lecture, because you may miss other information. But in a format like this, where you can pause a video it is great. Afterwards summarizing the info is also good, since you have to basically explain the information in your own words again (opposed to just copying word by word), which gives a deeper understanding.
Enjoy studying!
He explains in the episode: Using Failures, Movement & Balance to Learn Faster | Huberman Lab Podcast #7, what one can do before learning. I would guess that during a learning session you should start with increasing your focus (with eye movment). Maybe for learning new stuff it is usefull to not start at the basic but a bit higher so that you make mistakes and you get more plasticity. But I don´t know
The books Make it Stick and The Talent Code are full of science-backed info on this.
@@real.psyched Interesting timing, I just looked into this last night. There was a paper that made a splash in 2014, suggesting that hand-written notes are considerably more effective. The suggestion was both as you say and also that hand-writing is spatially more complex, non-linear and so...(reaching here) requires more reorganization and, etc., so you retain better. But the results didn't replicate a few years later, and there's anohter paper suggesting no real dif between typing, hand-writing, and no notes at all--assuming people who took notes have'nt gone back and reviewed. So probably it's just very individual. I'd think, as you say, in general going slower and avoiding the temptation to transcribe is better. I took remarkably few notes in graduate school in a challenging program and did well, but I think for many others that would not have worked. Them's my thoughts...!
Take a 20 min nap afterwards 😴 And don't forget 2 deep inhales and an exhale !
Never will I understand why anyone gives these videos the thumbs down. I'm assuming someone's hand slipped. These podcasts are amongst the most useful videos on the internet!
I think people are so used to being "entertained" with funny/ridiculous/outrageous magical hacks and topics, they get bored with science. That's the only explanation I can think of.
Martha, testify girl!!!😂👍🏽✌🏽
Diet is a very big element. My optician told me my eyesight had improved (which is not unusual). The only thing I was doing differently was eating healthier, vegetables, fruits, and good quality food
It's hard to believe this podcast is still free.. best podcast in YT
It's unbelievable!! Thanks to Mr. Hubermann
Shhh. Don't give YT any ideas. All kidding aside, Andrew Huberman PhD is generously circumventing the old information cartel hierarchies. We can rejoice.
Thank you for sparking many of your viewers' interest in science and also satisfying their interest with distilled plain English information that is neither oversimplied nor too esoteric.
This video might change my whole life.
I've always deemed myself as a genius. But bad eyesight has impaired my ability for everything. I won't explain anymore. Just thanks for sharing your knowledge
The amount of work you put into each Podcast is amazing.... So much respect thank you.......
I listen to these episodes over and over and over until I can almost repeat the information, almost word for word (although I’m much better at pronouncing astaxanthin 😄). I can not say how important and helpful certain episodes have been to me. None of them can be too long for me. (I listened to Reinhard Veith’s lecture on Vitamin D in one session over and over again, too. It changed my life, too. I was dying and didn’t know it).
For Dry Eye: There are tiny little holes near the base of your eyelashes that dispense body oil onto the eyeball with every blink. These get clogged up with old oil, dust, particles, etc. Wash your eyelids to remove the oil plugs (it might take a few washings) to allow the body's natural oils to release onto the eyeball when you blink which is what is supposed to happen. Make a solution of 1Tbs Johnson & Johnson Baby Shampoo and 3Tbs water (very mild). Dip a soft cloth into the solution and cleans the eyelash area for a minute or two, rinse. My Ophthalmologist gave me these directions and they work great. Also, use eyedrops with hyaluronic acid in them such as HyloForte. Hyaluronic acid actually hydrates tissues. Other eye drops contain propylene glycol (medical grade), an oil, that attempts to hold moisture in but doesn't do anything to add moisture to the tissues. My dry eye has all but gone away.
I would never wash my eyes with any kind of face soap, it's not necessary, rinse eyes w/distilled water and a few drops of contact lense fluid in a clean fine-spray bottle is all I use when needed (because it keeps bacteria from forming) which occurs when we touch our eyes for whatever reasons we do that, or as you said, from all sorts of particles or computer screen eye strain....
I love how paternal Dr. Huberman gets!!!🥰 Costello is very blessed!!🙏🏽✌🏽
Andrew I just want to let you know about how you've changed my life at least in one aspect. I used to struggle to run even a mile's distance and would think my lungs would collapse because of the way I was furiously wheezing. I incorporated your double inhale and exhale technique and it worked wonders. I am able to run above four miles comfortably and can complete a mile in half the time I took before incorporating the technique. Thanks a ton! Your service means a lot and has helped changed the life of so many for the better

When I moved out of the Bay Area, where everyday outdoors we see far due to hills, the flatness in Phoenix AZ drove me crazy. Now I know why!
I appreciate you and what you and your team do and that includes Big C for providing the soundtrack for the episodes.
I have not started thus episode yet but I woke up at 4 and couldn't get back to sleep and am thinking about the following:
💭How does neuroscience distinguish between intelligence, knowledge and wisdom? I'm just fascinated by how raw intelligence manifest itself without schooling.
💭Is discipline simply reinforced conditioning? What's the difference between discipline and habit? Is it just levels of discomfort?
💭 Is discipline a close relative to addiction?
💭 Can we get high on just about anything if we hook ourselves to it?
Thank you Andrew! I hope what you do in public education brings you equal amount of joy (or more) as it benefits me.
I can not possibly thank you enough to match the level of my gratitude for everything I’ve learned from you over the years.
I share your wisdom and knowledge far and wide and it gives me such great joy to do so, it allows me to feel somewhat connected to the possibility of literally changing the world.
I also want to say that I feel the pureness of your motivation and of your heart and soul.
You influence and heal people in ways that I hope you fully realize. Because I hope you realize how awesome you are and what a positive influence you are in the world.

I really appreciate your podcast, Doc Huberman. I've had a few things happen to my eyes - a detached retina, subsequent surgery and resulting cataract and its treatment and now I'm in my late 40s having to wear multifocals with their narrow field of focus, which gets me down. But hey, my vision was saved and I'm so thankful I can see. I struggle a little now with depth perception - I've wondered at times if the changes to my eyes have affected my thinking - both cognition and mood... I guess you could say outlook in the senses of visual and mental. What you've detailed seems to confirm that it's all been a bit of a wrestling match for my brain. But you've also given me some tools. Eye care bills can be eye-watering... huge thanks for how you want to and do give zero-cost knowledge. More power to you!
Good luck Ian I hope your recovery has continued
@@ReallyJustAnotherDay Thank you so much, it has :)
This has been one of the greatest channels I have stumbled upon. I’m starting from the beginning until I catch up, and am already seeing so many benefits from gaining an understanding of what’s going on internally. Thank you Dr. Huberman!
Dr. Huberman, you are LIFE CHANGING! Thank you for your incredible channel and content
Mongolian fan/student of Huberman lab. Thanks and cheers.
My sister in law with 4 young children (2 sets of twins) developed a massive brain tumor in her frontal lobe following a bad case of Covid in Dec2021. May be from spike protein induced changes to cells behind the nasal cavity. Doctors were able to remove the tumor but she is now completely blind. I’m hoping this episode will help me to help her somehow. Thank you, Dr. Huberman. We love & appreciate you more than words can say! 💖🙏🏼😇
Unfortunately, this can't help cortical blindness.
Thank you for the great content, you are one of the best teachers I listened, and I'm both furious and shocked that content like this is not taught at schools.
I love Monday, thank you Dr. Huberman.
We focus to read, cook, computer, drive looking straight ahead. The eyes get stuck the mind stiff. Dr. Bates found certain exercises that relax those muscles and healed many elementary students needing glasses to see perfectly. One of them they teach now in India at an Ashram, is to close eyes, then circle your hand around fisted closed while also turning your head. Then the other direction. I love it I feel it actually stimulates my pineal or pituitary gland behind the eyes. I find instant bliss, euphoric electricity, instantly.
Classic Costello! I enjoyed this one particularly. There is a palpable passion for the subject. Thanks again for spending your time doing this for us!
Costello and Dr. Huberman are the bomb!!!!😂👍🏽✌🏽
I have never been so excited about Mondays!!! Huberman Lab - It is my new addiction
I’d love to have a whole month dedicated to adolescence, puberty, and growing up. It would be awesome to know how to best utilize these critical periods. Keep up the amazing work!
Are you planning to do an episode on Tinnitus and Hearing Health? Please do! Thank you so much for doing what you do!
I think in the introduction to this video he said he would address hearing also.
best podcast on the internet. period.
I also nominate Dr. Huberman for a Nobel Prize!
thank you for the fine eloquence in which you share science with us.
Your special voice, along with your brain and speech are gifts given to you and to us.
Thank you Andrew for your thoughtful research... this is such a critical topic. Very few can really appreciate how important this sense is and how impactful its loss is until it's gone.
Thank you for selflessly sharing your knowledge. I so look forward to Mondays now. Learning from you has become a great part of my self-care.
Me too!!!😂👍🏽✌🏽
I m an Opthalmologist and watched the full episode and would like to congratulate you on the clear and pratical tips provided!
I would emphasize the value of avoiding prolonged reading in portable devices (phone tablet etc..) particularly in children!
Also praticing an open field sport is proved to delay myopia
and for persons working in environments with particles (chemical, textil fabrics , gardening farming or animals) use frequent lubricating drops to prevent dry or irritable eyes
I love him and his podcasts but I am particularly interested in knowing something Dr Hubermamn didn't actually specify directly but perhaps touched on it peripherally.. If you start developing myopia as you age.. at its first instance is it not better to avoid wearing reading glasses which correct and compensate vision, essentially accomodating the eyes' increasing muscular weakness and instead work on eye strengthening exercises so that the muscles don't get used to the weakened status and strengthens the muscles to regain the original state of vision?
I truly enjoyed your first podcast regarding the senses. Eyesight is just so important and what we can do to protect our own is vital.
Thank you so very much. ))
The limitation of our knowledge (or even anti knowledge) is well mentioned so that it doesn't have a contradiction on the natural behavior of our life system. Great.
Thank you so much for your priceless sharing. I’ve been working with Zeaxanthin and especially Astaxanthin (amazing multi uses) for about 15 yrs professionally. The way it’s pronounced in my circles are
ZEE-ah-zanthin and as-TACK-zanthin. It’s a tongue twister without the pronunciation help. Thank you for your bravery, vulnerability and authenticity. Your help heals many.
Or asta-zanthin
I was born with lazy eye. Had the patch. then glasses. Finally at ag 35 had laser surgery which was great. Now it's worn off and they say can not redo it. PLEASE address laser surgery and what to do when it's worn off. I love this podcast !!!!!!!
Will do! Thank you for the feedback!
@@hubermanlab Thank you!
THANK YOU FOR THE PRICELESS INFORMATION SHARED ABOUT PANORAMIC SIGHT TO RELAX OUR EYES…and SHORT DISTANCE SIGHT …HOW IT AFFECTS OUR EYESIGHT…I HAVE ONLY HEARD ABOUT THESE NOW, BLESSINGS 💖🍃….THE IMPORTANCE OF SPENDING TWO HOURS OUTDOORS FOR SUNLIGHT TO BENEFIT OUR VISION…..THEY ARE ALL VALID, MAKE SENSE…
Thank you so much for your podcast! I'm a scientific illustrator in Boston and you do an exquisite job making complex concepts accessible to the layman. 6 years ago I was under a TREMENDOUS amount of stress and suffered from an episode of optic neuritis. My neurologist and neuro-ophthalmologist wanted to put me on immunomodulators for MS, but I decided first to make stress reduction my #1 priority. So far so good - no more episodes of optic neuritis or progression to MS. Do any of your podcast episodes cover the MS/stress connection? Thank you so much for sharing your work with all of us.
Have you heard of Terry Wahls?
My daughter and I watched most of this today! (Until she needed a nap haha) The eyes have always been so fascinating. LOVE this episode and I am sharing these tools with others. You’re doing some incredible things with your time. 👏👏👏 Great job 🙏🙏
you are a very honest being... i think you are moving people to caring for themselves better, thank you
I couldn’t love this podcast more! I particularly enjoy the references to Castello (sp?) the accuracy of detail, the biochemistry, the nonjudgmental nature, the dedication to science. I really appreciate the practical ways given so they we can enjoy healthier, happier lives. Thank you so much!
Yes, salmonella is on the outside of the egg. Dr. Huberman, thank you for all of your videos. I’m in urologist and probably have learned more from you than I did during residency and fellowship. I especially appreciate how you present your information and the ease of the manner in which you communicate your knowledge is astounding. Respectfully, a huge fan.
Thank you huberman sir .
In January, i got for the first time eyeglasses . And i was disheartened for getting glasses at mere age of 17 .
Today ( june ) , i took the eye test again i got rid of my cylindrical power only spherical remaining which is stagnant as measured in january and my eyes didn't degraded on the spherical front.
Thanks it gives me more motivation to follow the schedule .
Great content, thank you! What an eye full. Why do optometrists live so long? Because they di-late. Haha Sorry, my jokes are corneas hell. 😉
Oh that's terrible, and oh so good at the same time. Ha!
🤣👏🏼
😂
You are the master and we are but pupils.
I cannot wait to tell my daughter this joke in front of her friends!
Andrew is in a particularly good mood today and I enjoy that.
Why? He usually posts in a bad mood ?
@@28GG No. He's talking about his passion and you can tell he's extra excited about this topic.
I was born with one closed eye. I’ve had 3 eye muscle operations to straighten it. When I was 2-3 in 1957, I had an eye patch on my “good” eye for 6 weeks. When they took it off I was blind for several days. I still remember that my vision started coming back from the bottom of my vision, floor up. I never gained binocular vision although I once had it for about 1 minute after going to an osteopath. I walk every day at sunrise for 2 hours. Thanks for this podcast!
ANDREW I MUST SAY YOU'RE A GEM OF A PERSON!!!!!! IS THERE SOMEONE ELSE LIKE HIM WHO IS EDUCATING WITH THAT DETAIL ? I AM WORRIED THAT I MIGHT BE MISSING MORE AMAZING PEOPLE LIKE HIM
If you found anyone else let me know!
Great episode! I think this topic unleashed his inner Italian! look at the excitement in his eyes and those animated hand gestures! :) I still remember him talking about how birds of prey can see the differences between blades of grass! Truly fascinating topic!
My grandma turns 105 this year, she got Lasik surgery at 85. When she looked at herself in the mirror she said " If I would have known I looked this old, I would have never gotten this surgery! :) What can I say vanity runs in the family :) Go outside, what a concept. I never thought as a child that our modern life would get us to this point, but here we are. Thank you for another great episode, Andrew and Team.
👍👏💓
Hi there! My right eye never learned to focus right, and now that I have an issue with my left eye my eye doctor tells me it's "too late to teach the right eye." It just never learned to communicate with the brain, but there is nothing physically wrong with it. I ignored the good doctor and got myself an eye patch, which I wear in the morning while doing my morning chores. After only a week, I can actually read with my lazy eye. It's blurry, but I was able to go through some of my email today! The eye gets tired, so I am careful pacing the process in a gradual way. I think this will work. The issue with my left eye, for which I'll be seeing a specialist, has a silver lining in that it forced me to ask my lazy eye to start working. Hooray for neuroplasticity even in my fifth decade! Thank you for all your podcasts. They clued me into believing that with a bit of discomfort, just about anything is possible.
You can tell you’re passionate about this subject! You smile a lot more & are more animated in this podcast! lovely to see this & as ever very informative, thank you Andrew 👀 🤓 💕
I can't thank you enough for talking in depth about this. I feel like there's hope for my eyes. What a lifesaver❤ going to watch everything you have to offer.
I have a brain injury connected to my right eye. I had prism’s glasses made for me. I was shocked they were working laying on my nightstand. It’s amazing the technology we know of. I’m so Thankful for these videos this eye one, but all sense’s. I’ve always been very hypersensitive. Smell taste sight hearing & feel.
Yessss, favorite part of getting up early on Mondays!!!
My dad always said that he could see better at close up when he was under natural sun light. He had 20/15 far sight and spent alot of time outdoors and now I believe that is why he didn't need reading glasses as early as others his age.
Thank you Dr. Andrew Huberman for your Educational information.
Thank you so much Andrew. You are included in my gratitude each day. All the information you are providing is so important and beneficial to everyone. Your style of delivery is fantastic. You are enjoyable to listen to and have the ability to make this complex material fun, intereting an easily applicable to the average person. Thank you. I look forward to all of your content.
Hello professor!
Thanks to this episode, I think I finally got the motivation and the hope that the case with my eyesight is not hopeless and can really be improved. It really gave the the desire to take care of the one of our senses that takes up so much real estate in our brain! I have myopia, which developed gradually from my mid-early teens (it now got to the point where distant street lights look like abstract, radiating sunflowers if I don’t wear corrective lenses), and is most probably hereditary since in my immediate family, my mom and her mom have/had it, so going against genetic predisposition will surely be a challenge, but I still want to try. I made an excel file to help me with implementing each of the protocols every day (I don't aim at perfection, but to just fit the practices I can when I can in my day and track what I actually did).
For one, eggs and raw carrots have been present in my food almost every day for months now. I must already have started taking care of my eyesight on a sub-conscious level haha. Although, for vit A : if I am correct, liver is highest in it, but it’s also mostly unpalatable. I have tried to be open minded about it, but once a month has been my maximum so far (unfortunately, and you can laugh all you want, but as I found out, leaving it in vinegar for a few hours to help with the taste barely helps).
I try to limit the use of corrective lenses and wear them only when really necessary (in a classroom for example because I cannot see the writing/text on the board otherwise) but I wonder, for many of the protocols concerning eye training : does each have to be done with or without (or it doesn’t matter) corrective lenses? If I remember correctly, you said for example that it is better with glasses when looking at morning light to better distinguish blue/yellow contrast.
In daytime, especially when the sun is out, when I go out, I just have to wear sunglasses, because even if I don’t specifically look at the sky, it is still too bright for my eyes (maybe because I have less protection than brown eyes? I have green eyes), will this still be ok for improving eyesight?
Also, just out of curiosity, I have always wondered but never got a clear answer about myopia: does it offset or cancel presbyopia
Final question; is presbyopia reversible with the protocols or is it inevitable and everyone will eventually get it with age?
Have a great day!
Dinara
P.S. Judging by the various types of humor in this episode, especially about the animals and doing eye exercises in class I am happy this theme is something you enjoy teaching a lot aswell! About “I was not consulted at the beginning” : someone definitely needs to keep such hubris in check anyways, otherwise it can become dangerous pretty fast haha! Also, and this is totally subjective, but so far and in the future, I have no intention of being the one complaining that the episodes are getting longer than 90 mins :)
Maybe liver supplements?
Thank you for drawing out so many different angles in this conversation, especially regarding diagnosis of Alzheimer’s and other neurological diseases as well as light exposure treatments. Great podcast!
What an amazing episode!! I have been reading a lot about the subject so some bits and pieces I heard here and there and then looked for science to see what was really true. But I could not glue all of it successfully. Dr. H you have glued and clarified so much so far and I haven’t even had the chance to listen to the full episode! Thank you
So glad we're going to discuss interoception and mental health! I hope you also discuss addiction and neuroscience based tools to aid addiction/bad habits etc.
I am I believe TOO interoceptive! I also suffer from many mental illnesses and a rare sleep disorder (idiopathic hypersomnia) ADHD, Anxiety, Major Depressive Disorder, panic disorder
Shannon thx for sharing your disorders as I’m sure you have helped me identify things that are going on with my self for years I’m sure but never had anyone look into it further as I’ve had to manage it myself & thanks to you I’m sure it’s enabled me to give it a name/ identity/ identify so helping me to a better place so thanks & I am a guy I know my I’d is funny but I’m a fella & it’s just a quick note to say thanks for your sharing & help - I’m sure it seems weird. But all the best for you wising so much more better in the future. x D.
