Controlling Sugar Cravings & Metabolism with Science-Based Tools | Huberman Lab Podcast #64
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 тра 2024
- I explain how to blunt sugar cravings through fundamental knowledge of how sugar is sensed, metabolized, and utilized within the body. I explain how sugar is processed through the digestive tract and nervous system and how both the taste and nutritive components of sugar can lead to specific appetite changes and cravings. I discuss the connection between sugar, dopamine, and cravings and outline many tools to curb sugar cravings, specifically craving highly processed refined sugars.

I've quit coffee, cigarettes, and probably 90% of my sugar intake in the last two months cold turkey staggered over a couple of weeks.
Now my brain is trying to fill the void with sometimes insatiable hunger. I think sugar is by far the most difficult to quit, because I recognize these cravings as my brain trying to get me to consume as many carbs as possible from other sources. I.e. french fries, bread.. at the same time, I'm not subconsciously trying to sneak cigarettes or coffee.
Sugar is a hell of a drug.
I feel you on this one bro
M men kill g

Sure is.
The difference is that your body needs carbohydrates. It’s not a drug. It’s like stopping to breathe and calling oxygen a drug because your body wants you to start breathing again.
Our bodies forget how to use our fat stores after years of constant carbs. It takes a while to upregulate the liver to restore gluconeogenesis.
As a student getting into Computational neuroscience for PhD you’re the biggest inspiration for me.
That’s a terrific field. I’m delighted to know you are finding the podcast to be of internet/use. Best of luck in your neuroscience journey. I’ll be happy to answer any questions about how to navigate a career in science.
- Andrew
@@hubermanlab It means so much for me coming from you Dr. Huberman I’ve always been a curious kid with minor health issues which is why I’ve always wanted to study more about the body and how to use it properly and your work is just spot on the best I’ve ever come across.
I just got done writing a research paper waiting for it to be reviewed and now I am currently making a list of potential supervisors for the PhD (in the US and Canada) and tbh it’s quite confusing for me (being from India). How would you suggest to choose the right one or what to look in a professor or in his/her projects ?
Thank you!
@@ruturajreddy1 bro best of luck , do u post any kind of any videos, blogs? i am interested in that
I have a degree of constipational pseudoscience. Is that the same thing?
@@ruturajreddy1 stop giving excuses. being from India has nothing to do with not being able to select a potential supervisor. send a bunch of emails to professors who are working on your subject of interest. isn't that how one should go?
You podcasts are literally addictive. It's impressive how non -bias you try to be when sharing all the info with us(your public). Thank you.
I am a nurse by training and always have been interested in health. Dr Huberman’s podcasts and education have been inspiring, transformational, just incredible!! I keep re-watching them, as I they are so content rich! So much to learn!
“If fructose had a dating profile, this would be a red flag” Love it. 😂
Hahahah that’s great 😂😂
That got me too. It was a perfect analogy except it got me thinking about all those dating profiles and "red flags" ...thankfully I was able to reel it back in haha
Got my workout and sunlight in for the morning. Having a protein filled breakfast after a 12 hr fasting period while watching this top tier podcast (still working on my intermittent fasting).
Don't forget fish oil!
12 hours when u have enough dedication to do a workout in the morning? U should be doing 20 hour ones dawg
proud of you man!
Still trying to get to IF too!! Keep up the work! It’s got to pay off
You sound like me!! Way to go Huberman Tribe!!!😎🤙🏽
Sugar messes my thinking up more than anything else. I'm incredibly sensitive to it and even I don't fall asleep from it or get grumpy, the effects can be so subtle that it's exactly like you said, it can prevent a person achieving their goals. It even affects my self-confidence and willingness to go for what I want.
Thanks for uploading this.
Interesting. It sounds like you have a heightened sensitivity to its effects. As you mentioned, even subtle changes in your thinking and mood can have a significant impact on your ability to achieve your goals and feel confident in yourself.
It's great that you're recognizing these effects and taking steps to reduce your sugar intake. By being mindful of what you're consuming and making a conscious effort to avoid sugary foods, you can help to maintain a clear mind and positive outlook.
8:20 is when the sponsors are over and actual video starts.
Thank you!
I listen to podcasts when I wake too early-with the volume just loud enough to hear w/o straining. Huberman is always a tough call because the content is so good, it keeps me up, which defeats the purpose. Well, I DID fall asleep during this episode, and dreamt I met Dr. H in an airport where we had a great discussion about the impacts of cell phones and social media on mental health and well being. It was great! 🙃
I’m glad I found this podcast. I look forward to Monday mornings when this comes out
I am a student of martial arts. Been involved for 20 plus years, since a young kid. No substance has controlled my will as much as chocolate... 6 pack abs and all but when someone put chocolate infront of me, i became weak in my head, knees and all. I couldn't figure out why. That is until I witnessed the knowledge shared in this episode. Thank you for positively impacting so many lives🙏
I'm the same way - lean/cutup but love sweets (chocolate or ice cream mostly). What were your key takeaways from the episode? Do you still ingest chocolate/sweets/sugar?
Maybe, it’s because Chocolate give us this good feeling, maybe it’s a little bit like S…. for our brain.
Cacao
Thank you Dr. Huberman, team, sponsors and supporters. ☀️
While I wouldn’t choose illness for my family members, I am so grateful that this podcast came to me prior to their health issues. With this, I can help them build stronger and healthier. THANK YOU VALUE ADDING HUMAN!
If we get to Seattle and Portland before this channel is at 1 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS… that won’t happen!
This podcast is most clear and makes me learn more about the health than all other podcasts put together. Thank you🙏.
#huberman I was diagnosed w adhd (inattentive type) 18 months ago @47. I figured it out myself after seeing a Dr Russell Barkley video on childhood cognition development, got tested and did a personality inventory also. I was in 94-98% in cognition measurements. I Have done CBT therapy for over 3 years also, which has immensely changed my outlook on life and how I view my world day to day. have listened to hundreds of hours at this point on human development, cognition, adhd, personality etc..from a ton of specialists such as yourself. Sapolski F’N rules. ADHD is on a huge spectrum as you probably know. Hyperactive vs inattentive adhd are at the core the same but also different. Layer on your big 5
Personality traits and wow so many flavors of adhd. Your info has helped me as well especially on things like light viewing, and just setting your bodies biology to its best tuning possible. I also went vegan last July and found a clarity gain and cardio improvement as well.
All plant based no junk.
Thanks!
I still can’t believe all this material he shares is free. We’re very fortunate for this man’s generosity.
Amazing podcast! As a recovered sugar addict, this abject is of great interest to me and as a health coach I shall be sharing this with every single one of my clients. Thank you🙏
Wow! I love fruits and ignored people who say to avoid them due to high sugar content. I guess I never realized that even the small amount of fructose in fruits plays a role in reducing the hormones that suppress ghrelin. It’s nice to finally understand why I often feel hungrier 30 min to an hour after eating fruits! I always assumed it was a mental thing since everyone around me seemed so full after fruit consumption. I will definitely keep that in mind now before eating fruit late at night.
I was on a row food diet for almost 4 years. For this time I was always hungry, chunky. With full fridge of food I was starving, totally NOT delicious food, my body was hungry on cellular level. That is 75% row fruits, vegetables, and 25 % processed foods,but home cooked. Now since a year I am keto and finally I am happy while eating.
I've been following your podcast since you announced it at the end of 2020, and I want give a huge thank you for the knowledge you've shared so far! You've helped me sort my priorities of light exposure, importance of sleep quality and timing, and regulating appetite and food consumption for health and focus, rather than emotion and impulsive habits. You're a role model to me!
I'd recommend joining his patreon if you haven't already
Light exposure what’s the best thing to do ? If lights touches skin isn’t it bad for aging? I usually avoid light because of that
You are a heathen liar.
I can’t stop sharing your videos with my friends!!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us, Dr.Huberman. I’m slowly incorporating them to my daily life and can sense my mental and physical health improving. How do you incorporate alllllll of this into your daily life? What are some things that take the back burner based on your priorities?
Future topic idea: how different phases of the menstrual cycle affects focus, cravings, alertness, motivation, desire, etc.
We have learned so much from your in-depth research and teaching. We would so appreciate an episode on migraine headaches. There is so much that is unknown and so much that is conjecture. Your knowledge on this debilitating condition would be invaluable.
Your time is valued and appreciated Andrew! Thank you for this discussion.
Thank you Dr. Huberman for this amazing information and also thank you UA-cam for this wonderful platform🙂
Huberman is so well spoken, clear, and presents with rationales which are science-based. Love it. I highly respect his presentations, and just signed up for one of the newsletters.
Since listening to your lectures I have improved my lifestyle. The last three lectures are related to proper nutrition and the impact on our health. Thank you very much for your initiative and perseverance in disseminating scientific knowledge to every person.
Thank You so much. You're podcasts are a treasure, they've helped and keeps helping me. Every episode is valuable.
I am so glad I stumbled onto this channel!!! I’ve lived most my life with so much hormonal imbalance, and the doctors never want to get to the bottom of the issues, they just want to give me metformin or spirolonactone for my PCOS.
I really hope I can get some real help from here. I love the teaching style here, very easy to understand. Invaluable information!!
Because of my problem, it has caused me to dive a little more deeper in understanding the link between high fructose GMO corn syrup and many health issues. I personally think it has created a type 3 diabetes.
So enjoyed this segment! As a Type 1.5. LADA diabetic, it was especially interesting to me. Listened to it twice! It helps me control my behavior when I understand what motivates the behavior.
Thank you for making your knowledge available to us with no cost! If you do nothing else for the community!, you are doing an enormous service.
Dr. Huberman, I'd like to extend my gratitude once again for your efforts in bringing nutritional science to the masses. I'm especially grateful for your prevailing message in your podcasts that we aren't perfect nor that we need to seek perfection in regards to the control of eating or intake in general. Your podcast with Dr. Sinclair is what got me into an intermittent fasting, and I've seen exceptional results within last year loosing close to 80lb. Along with that, however, came fear of loosing all the progress even if I side step ever so slightly. Compounded by some of the info out there regarding what foods are good or bad, it has been quite challenging in navigating how much and what I should be eating for maintenance. Rewatching some of your podcasts brought me a peace of mind and crystal clarity, that I shouldn't be so 'neurotic' about my diet. Afterall, life should be enjoyed. Once more, I thank you for your work.
My HBA1C was 6. I brought it down to 5.5 with intermittent fasting. I usually fast for 36 hours. Have dinner, don't eat anything for the next day, have breakfast the daty after. Gave up on sugary stuff completely. Thanks for this podcast.
hi,deepak,sir.i have been following andrew huberman for the past one year,he changed my life completely.his tools are unique,one of the best podcast i have ever come across on youtube.
You got it down by giving up sugar and reducing calories. Not by fasting.
@@sebacatana Fasting was still the vehicle he found easiest to reach his goal. He said he did it using intermittent fasting, not that intermittent fasting the the solution for everyone.
Si
What do you usually have for dinner?
I’m grateful for your podcast - what a gift to the world. I’m astonished by how you manage to do this while being a full time professor and researcher.
A podcast each week is impressive.
Right? I'd love it if he could do a segment on the science of time management !
Ikr! It's a beautiful thing. The quality of life social media has brought to me is so deeply appreciated. Thanks to people like Huberman ☺️☺️☺️
It is the reason why his content is so fluid and full he is speaking on his purpose and passion... Brilliant.
Thank you for shining a light on ADHD and ADD! I didn’t know how sugar played such a high effect on these issues.
Just finished your fantastic podcast. As a mother of young children, your final point regarding the importance of sleep and sugar cravings are spot on for me. It’s a constant battle to eat well (avoid an abundance of sugar and coffee) while sleep deprived. I do like intermittent fasting but find it to be too hard on my body if I’ve been woken by my toddler in the night. Another thing I struggle with which was not mentioned is controlling sugar cravings during the luteal phase of my cycle. Thanks so much, love your work!
I get this . I wouidnt fast with broken sleep and in an elevated cortisol state . I suggest find your natural limit .. maybe you can just do a 10-12hr window without stressing your body out . More important wouid be the belly breathing anc sunshine in the morning . A tip .. protein intake . When I added in more protein it helped heaps. In Oz there are cold mornings .. I love to drink hot water , collagen powder , raw cacoa and Natvia ( erythritol & pure stevia blend ) with a dash of low sugar almond milk .. it’s delicious and fills me up. I’m hoping this is still somewhat fasting.. not completely fasting but not spiking Insulin hardly at all . Now onto the luteal phase… I also craved terrible.. the solution .., take 300mv magnesium, 1g taurine snd b6 ( mines a powder ) take a chromium supplement , and use vitex 1g tablets ( if not on hormonal contraception) . Additionally while I’m usually a sweet tooth I have a need to add in naturally savoury & natural salt . I’ll have that and it helps . But I still make my coconut icecream on erythritol cause I love it !!
Dr. Huberman, I consider your work a treasure for all of us. As a seeker of a degree in Science of Health Science, anytime I thought I completely understood something about biology, I clashed with the robust knowledge of your podcast. Then I have to back to study things more profoundly. Thank you for bringing awareness to all of us! All the best from 🇨🇳 China!
Hey my neighbour
How are you man😅
Just found you😃So happy I did. I love the way you explain all of the information for regular people like me! Can’ t wait for podcast on sleep and weight. 55 and going through menopause, enough said lol . Thank you for caring.
This was a great episode. If you could do an episode on epilepsy, that would be fantastic. Thank you for putting out such interesting, informative content!
Andrew, thank you very much for the podcast!
So in time :) really all the needed info on sugar in one place. I appreciate your work and hope you will continue making us smarter on how our neuro system works :)
Very timely for me. Thanks Andrew, love your content
Very cool information here that validates a lot of my own observations as a type 1 diabetic. I noticed for instance that blood glucose fluctuations gave me cravings, and I also noticed the point you made about homeostatic balance in so far as you can "train" or "condition" your blood glucose curve by "disciplining" it ahead of time, leading to subsequent easier to manage outcomes. Very much appreciate the tools provided in the end of this episode, as a sucker for any and all ways of managing my condition.
I really appreciate you and your sincere interest to help the public become more aware and informed about mental health, wellness and the pursuit of happiness. Thank you much!🙏🌻😊
Love your show and the podcast and Thank you very much for putting this information out in the world for free - Absolutely love it.
I was just speaking to my teens about sugars negative effects on the body. Now, I'll direct them to this episode: )
I REALLY want an episode dedicated to myo functional therapy/ orofacial myofunctional dentistry and it's relationship to sleep apnea, among a host of other preventable disorders.
You are so brilliant! Thank you for making complex neuroscience simple for us and it is also so down to earth that we can apply in our day to day life with understanding and with illumination to our perception and behaviours in relation to brain.
It’s so interesting and enriching to listen to your podcast. Great job! The way you explain for such complex topics is so understandable for the general public. Keep going. It’s real pleasure to listen to you.
Thank you for the awesome podcast. It would be great if you can do an episode on Autoimmune diseases. Much love from Morocco
I am so thankful to have found your channel and I appreciate what looks like an enormous amount of work to create each episode. But I'm really sorry to hear you lost Costello. Bulldogs are such characters...
Thank you for what you do ! I appreciate how thorough you are and the time and effort involved !
Amazing podcast ... Love how you explain the effects on our life and the more scientific side together
I was born with tons of allergies as a toddler. Sugar was one of those many allergies which caused scabs over the majority of the surface of my body - even in my scalp. I can only describe the itch as having to scratch until it bled for relief. This relief didn't last but for a few hours until the process of healing would begin again. After my diet changed, the itching was only in the crux of my arms.
At puberty, the outside skin evidence went away. I began eating like other people which led me down a painful digestion problem. It came to full bloom after age 60. I changed my life regimen over two years ago to basic lectin free foods. Within two weeks, my stomach aches went away never to return. My strength returned to the one I experienced decades ago.
I turned 70 and look and feel wonderful and better than folks less than half my age. If I don't make it, I don't eat it. No alcohol, cigarettes, caffeine, grain, legume, pre-boxed ingredients, therefore, no preservatives or additives., etc, etc ...
Define your goal and strive to bring it to fruition. We are what we eat, and what it ate.
My aim is quality of life. I wish you health and long life.
I've cut out three of those 3 to go.
THANK YOU! I came to listen because I am a hopeless sugar junkie, but I learned something else: it's not my imagination! I've had full mouth dental implants and am still in my first pair of "healing teeth." These have a thicker gum density AND a palate piece....my food does not taste nearly as good, now I know why. 🙂 As always, thank you for all of your excellent work.
Big massive thank you going out to yourself and all involved in producing these as ever ! Peace
Thank you for these videos. I am learning so much! It occasionally goes over my head, but that just adds to knowledge and experience. I can definitely see coming back and rewatching as these things all being to click together and the understanding grows.
Happy Monday ☕ best thing to look forward to every Monday. This topic about sugar is what I really need to learn, and hopefully cut back sugar intake...
1:30:18 or so onwards: omega-3, lemon/lime juice to reduce cravings
Check out the book "Fat Chance" by Dr Robert Lustig, he's a pediatric endocrinologist and his book is all about sugars.
Thank you for the mention of how lemon 🍋 and lime reduce the blood glucose response. As usual, fantastic work, and brain based information. Humanitarian.
They're also great for digestion! You'll be regular for sure.
You are a true inspiration! I'm just starting a RN program and I've always been a fan of neurology. I've been desperate to find a way to improve my memory, focus, etc. and I've just ordered the Thesis starter kit. I love how it tailors the formulation based upon how I answered those questions rather than the typical supplement formulations that take the "one size fits all" approach. There are some great ones out there - Qualia Mind - however we are all different and I feel that product gets close but doesn't quite check all the boxes I need.
Interesting what’s in it? I’ve added got a few things over the years to optimise my cognitive function and attention or the ADHD…ACL in the morning I found quite goood and my collagen erythritol hot choc on water . I like ashwaghanda and Brahmi , l Theanine , some say lions main is brilliant
I've been following your podcast with rapt attention since January this year. I've worked my way through to November. It's been a fantastic journey. I've jumped forward to tis addition so that, as you've suggested almost every week, I have a couple of ideas for topics you could cover. The first is about the Endorphin (natural pain relief circuits of the mind). And also - given it's a natural progression and has been hugely impactful in your country and mine (I'm from Sydney Australia) to speak to opioid addiction which is very different from (what you've professed is in the mega-dopaminergic addiction of cocaine and the amphetamines. The woman who spoke about addiction more broadly was a fantastic guest. Best wishes and thanks again for your work and your commitment to science and to spreading it around.
Listening now on Spotify. I literally wait every Monday to listen your beautiful podcast. Much love from India 💚🇮🇳.
Me too !
@@anjalijha6913 ☺️
I do too 🥰👍
Bhai bhai 🖤💪
@@knowabhimishra 💚🙏 sukriya bhai. Where are you from bro ? I seriously addicted to Andrew huberman podcast
So informative!!! Thank you!!!! So sorry to hear about Costello’s passing!!!! Heartbreaking 💔 🙏
So helpful, and informative. You are a blessing on this platform sir!
You have changed my life and I cant thank you enough
It took me two days, but I finished to listen ❤️
Thank you very much for so useful information 🥰😍💙🙏🏻
I am sorry for your lost 🐶❤️
Sir! Thank you for all the time you put into this podcasts! I've learned so much!
Amazing podcast. Amazing, Thank you for making this level of information available to the world.
Andrew your videos are excellent. To me, UA-cam is the greatest teaching device ever invented...
This is such an awesome channel. I love how content-rich it is--every sentence moves forward. I truly appreciate the time you put into to make sure your information is comprehensive and research-supported.
Happy to see that glutamine was mentioned as an amino acid that can help with sugar cravings. I'm in the chocolate biz and I've used glutamine to reduce sugar cravings for more than 20 years to make sure I don't over indulge, a trick I learned from the book "The Diet Cure" by Julia Ross. She spent her life studying amino acids and I attribute her information to helping me stay lean throughout my life, even while owning a chocolate company and eating a little chocolate every day!
I noticed you mention chocolate a number of times in the discussion of sweet foods that raise blood sugar, but chocolate is actually fairly low on the glycemic index because it contains cocoa butter. When eaten with nuts (almonds, peanut butter, etc) it's even lower better because the nuts fats and protein pull the GI rating down (for example, dark chocolate-covered almonds have a 33 GI).
Chocolate (in moderation!) is a great treat for people who want something sweet without the blood-sugar spike. Dark is healthier of course, but even milk chocolate has a lower GI rating as compared to other sweet treats.
Chocolate-covered Walnuts!
T1D here. Awesome to learn more about this system. Not enough people spreading this research.
Awesome content as always Dr. Huberman !
I suggest (must not be the first one) showing some visual aids/flowcharts while discussing neural pathways, or cause & effect chains. Would help UA-cam audience grasp much more.
It’s a tad off topic but I’m so grateful he does a video version of the podcast. I have more of a tendency to miss portions of what’s being said if I can’t watch whomever is speaking. Especially when there is an abundance of vocabulary words & scientific jargon being used. Thanks for making this fantastic content!
I usually listen when I’m walking or working (I do landscaping), but when I sit down and watch one, I too like it better. I get distracted easily when relying solely on audio (I prefer reading a book to listening).
Literally the fastest growing health and Science related podcast in history! Very much deserved, and primed to be the biggest of all time!
Nothing gets better than this; real, raw, and no sugar coating reality👌👌
Again, chock full of actionable info. Thank you! Correction on cinnamon. It doesn't contain coumadin (aka warfarin), which is a prescription blood thinner/anticoagulant. It does contain coumarin (notice the subtle spelling difference) which does not affect blood clotting. It can however, in large doses cause liver toxicity (as noted in the podcase). Look for "true" cinnamon, also known as Ceylon or Cinnamomum zeylanicum rather than cassia cinnamon as cassia contains more coumarin than true cinnamon.
I recently discovered that I was overdosing on cinnamon verum with the amount I was including in my kefir, banana & berry smoothies. Apparently a teaspoon is the max daily amount a person can tolerate.
@@margaretwinson402 bummer, right? Because I can use a lot of cinnamon in a smoothie.
Ceylon is awesome
@@dawnkeckley7502 Get ceylon type. It's fantastic! Much more flavor.
The liver toxicity comes from the cinnamon cassia. Ceylon doesn't do that if I remember rightly.
Amazing piece here Dr. Huberman! Very informative and enlightening. Keep it up Sir, thank you!
Thank you so-so much. I've launched a 'no sugar challenge' group few weeks ago and your podcasts are a great help for me to lead them.
Well I think you Rock 🤘...yep...no big nerdy words. I just felt moved to convey my appreciation for your always informative and interesting range of topics. Also...I think you have a very nice voice lol. It's not abrasive or hard to listen to at all☺️
Another awesome podcast. But important point that needs to be mentioned when you talk about BERBERINE: it interacts with many prescription drugs via the P450 system causing liver toxicity! I loved the effects of berberine when I was taking it, lowering my blood pressure among other benefits. But then it came time for my annual blood tests and my ALT was greatly elevated out of the blue... I didn't understand, my diet is healthy. Ultrasound test showed fatty liver. The warnings online about drug interactions now made sense. I stopped the berberine and my ALT quickly returned to a nice low number. Liver damage fixed. It's not safe for people who are taking antidepressants or numerous other drugs.
I got other friends and family taking it and they are benefitting from it. But they don't also take prescription drugs.
Johanne, Can I ask what you were taking that interacts with the berberine? I’ve been taking it but my latest labs show elevated AST…which makes me very nervous. I’m wondering if I need to stop the berberine. Thanks!
Wow! Thanks for the information.
@@angiegoff7419 the P450 system is a common pathway for drug metabolism. If you google and speak to your physician or pharmacist, I’m sure you could find out if there are any negative interactions. Chronic liver dysfunction is definitely something to avoid. Good luck.
Thank you🙏I was looking for this info..I take busbar & Zoloft, trazadone to help my insomnia ( mania) is progressing,I've blown up,hair falling out,severe fatigue..Do you think progesterone would help my disease? Pqq? Ubiquonal? They say mitochondria damage is disease..I also read not to eat fermented foods, if you have MTHR gene, Scared😔
On this video, we finally get our own tools to "work" (or even fight against to) on our sugar cravings. That is quite important for us to know where comes from from that "craving enemy". Thank you.
I missed the Portland tour! Sadness. I hope you come back soon! Thank you for this brilliant podcast! I'm a regular listener
Aw man, that was unexpected, my condolences for your loss of Costello :(
Best wishes and prayers go out to you and the little rascal...
Andrew, if you need a break please take one, i doubt anyone would frown you for that
I am just about to embark on a prolonged fast and this podcast couldn't have come at a better time 😁
I'm coming back in my next life as a neuro scientist just like you I can't get enough of this
Dear Dr Huberman, thank you for taking the time to share this with the audience, I kins of got hooked on it at this stage. I'll drop in this comment something that happened to me, hopefully I'll get an explanation from you 😊
I fasted one day per week for a few months and it was a torture! A day before I was anxious about it, on the day I was miserable and the day after I would stuff my face like there was no tomorrow. I would probably have continued, but one fast day in the afternoon I lost my eyesight!! 🤓 That was after about 4 months in. I literally could not see anything on the screen (I was at the office) and barely managed to text a friend in panic. I had thought that my grumpiness was related to the mere discomfort of being hungry, but obviously there's more to it. Luckily I had some sweets on me (I had no food and I wasn't bringing any to work on the fast day) and they saved my day. This episode put me off of fasting probably forever. Obviously there are people whose body deals with fasting much better or I'm doing something wrong. I'd be very curious to learn what happened to my eyesight that day 😃 it all went back to normal after a few sweets and I stopped fasting probably for good.
Thank you in advance!
Check out the 1:46 mark. It sounds similar - maybe u were hypoglycemic
Thank you Dr Huberman!! Love this channel and all of its content. I would be super interested on a similar episode on Alcohol - how it affects Brain function, is metabolized, addiction, etc
Thank you man, you're a great teacher, I really love you're podcast. I have a suggestion for you, if you want you can tell your viewers at the end of each episode the chapter of the next one, and then we can ask questions in regard to the topic and maybe some of them you will want to search or research
I love surprises!
A great topic for a future video would be the science based tools for socialization (ie. how to small talk, make people like you, network etc.) based on psychology and neuroscience. Thanks for all your work!
Thanks again for this. I dig your work very peer reviewed, investigate research as well and the delivery is so casual and not in your face. It's very good when it comes to modern neurosis encounters and your work also helps ones neuroscience and neuropsychology and experience in earth. At times I can't afford your methods but I understand the reasoning behind the work. It be interesting to see how cortisol and menopause medication prescribed in its different forms by different practitioners and the daily pharmaceutical menu does when it comes to sugar, salt, sleep and the unconscious mind... Society places great harm on a dime a dozen of folks,if we had to offload what's on the inside would there space for anything else on earth...
I admire the ease and spontaneity you present and explain information with, without reading from a teleprompter. Thank you!
That's because the man know his subject very well
@@Escalusfr Yes, but one can know their subject and still present it in a dry, dispassionate manner.
@@rositsazlatanova1146 I know, I was just talking about the ease and spontaneity
Thank you once again for a great podcast. I was reminded through this podcast of mother’s milk, on how sweet the tase is from day one. We are made to love sweets. Probably why all mammals like sweets. Yet it is balanced on the fat contents at the end, nature is amazing.
Great stuff!! I love learning through your awesome channel! You're a great teacher.
I'm so sorry to hear that Castello passed away. My condolences. And thank you so much for another great episode.
Is it Monday, then it’s time for HL! Good morning class! Thank you Dr. H. for another great topic. So much to learn about this topic. I am a chocolate chip cookie 🍪 junkie!
I really appreciate all the work and care you put into these podcasts. 🐐
The more I learn about Machine Learning, the neuroscience context I get from this podcast is extremely valuable. Both for my health/productivity and for better understanding the brain and nervous system.
Oh, and I adored your episode with Dr. Anna Lemke, such a mensch :) There is lots more to be said about addiction and I would love it if she could be your guest again.Thanks!
THANK YOU!! Maybe consider talking about the effects of vibration on the ANS?
Your podcasts directly hit on my health issues (eg PoTs, severe binocular vision dysfunction (not strabismus tho), ADHD, leaky gut, hyperacusis...suspect EDS underlies them but not confirmed). Thank you for the tricks /tips. Many I’ve instinctively used & now can explain...others I learned from you & have greatly benefited from implementing (eg strategic light use/placement).
One thing I still can't explain: I start feeling great (ie the issues above almost go away) & then certain types of vibration / noise (eg from jackhammers & generators used in nearby construction) completely derail my progress (eg blurred vision, speech problems, bp swings, extreme sugar cravings, fatigue / sleep disruptions for days after the exposure). If the vibration / sound is strong enough, I have to run away from it as quickly as possible (not just out of discomfort, but out of urgency).
I recognize it's odd (mainly because I’m the only one ever running 🙂). For years, I nor any doctor has been able to piece it together, but it somehow severely disrupts the functions of these same nervous system processes for maybe even weeks afterwards. I understand you're not an MD. I'm just trying to understand the science so I can do what I can (other than the obvious: avoid it as much as possible). Thank you again (and I’m very sorry for the loss of your dog. I lost my 16 yr old Malinois mix in Dec. She also used to snore loudly near me while I worked).
This was great, very very informative. I would have loved to have understood the differences in how the brain uses ketone bodies instead of glucose and what the impact this has on dopamine responses (if any). Are there other videos you’ve done which explore this?
There's tons of different videos on here about it. Check out Dr. Ken berry, Jason Fung, Judy Cho. There's more but I can't remember right this second. You are going down a long ass rabbit hole buddy get ready 🤣🤣🤣 ketosis feels GREAT.
@@jackiemyers2773 And Dr Berg :)
You should do a podcast on how in the world he government came up with "RDA."
How did/do they know a particular human or group of humans need x mg of magnesium a day?
love the way he talks about the interplay between brain and mind.
Enjoyed the information and my understanding is increased. Thank you for your time!
Please do a podcast on diseases of the eye related to aging (astigmatism, cataracts, optical nerve separation, macular seperation, macular degeneration) with possible correction/repair or reference some podcast that you consider a reliable source of good information.
Dear Mr. Huberman would you love to address Tinnitus issue ? This is one of the most underestimated health issue which it sounds no one wants to address. I truly believe it’s not an ENT field, in fact I think this is one of the reason this is still unsolved. Someone like you could have both the knowledge and the connections to pull together a solution.
What about the tinnitus issue ??
I just recently am having an issue with it as well as hearing loss. I have an appointment with an ENT in 2 weeks
Thank you so much for all you do Dr. Huberman!!!
I’ve just watched your discussion with Dr Chattagee relating to light wavelength exposure and enjoyed it so much I’ve popped over here to subscribe. This subject of sugar and other carbs is very much in the forefront of my life at the moment and your advice is so easily absorbed, not so easy to follow (being weak willed as I am) but at least I now know where I’m going wrong!
For those who're interested in cinnamon - Ceylon contains the lowest amount of coumarin, while Cassia has the highest.
