You are very well spoken and knowledgeable - it’s great to see people that are passionate about their profession. I’ll definitely be checking out some of your other content. Thanks for all the information!

Would LOVE to hear you and Dr Gillett discuss menopause, what happens, what to do for it, and how to manage each of the symptoms naturally, if possible. That would be a GREAT podcast and so helpful to a forgotten group of women.
Progesterone is the most important as that stops after menopause. Estrogen is still created in cells after menopause as it does with men too. It may show up low on blood tests but estrogen will store in cells. U can have similar amounts of estrogen stored in cells after menopause as circulating during your cycle. The estrogen unopposed by progesterone increases risk for cancer and other metabolic diseases. The estrogen industry is dubious and still runs the show funding all these studies touting the benefits of estrogen.
You created a wave of sharing knowledge from credible sources and the best minds per field as well as information on how to immediately apply that information. No fluff, no bs. This is how to properly utilize the power of the internet. Free education for all! Thank you Andrew Huberman! As well as all researchers on the frontlines of progressing our species forward.
Absolutely. He's got a full grasp of the mechanisms and technical pathways in and around hormones male and female. Clearly excellent memory also and works on his craft as a lot of this you can forget when you're at the top of your game .
I would love to see a podcast that is directed to peri and post-menopausal women and the role of HRT for symptom relief, overall quality of life issues (sleep, mood disturbance, ability to build and retain muscle mass, motivation, libido, clear-headedness) and what the 'real' optimal hormone levels are, as recorded in blood tests while on HRT (including estrogen/testosterone pellets). Love the podcasts and listen as often and as much as I can. Keep doing what you're doing!!
Love, love love that the impact on women was addressed in each issue, much appreciated. HRT for peri and post-menopause was not addressed, would love to hear an entire episode geared to this topic as there is so much conflicting information, including between MDs
Yes! I came to make a request that you do a podcast on menopause, what is really happening, and what women can do to manage the symptoms and the drop in estrogen. We're told that we should/shouldn't take HRT, that endurance cardio is bad, intense exercise is bad, but strength training is good, and weight gain is inevitable, and we can eat the right foods and symptoms will go away. Family doctors generally know very little, and few drs recommend topical estrogen. It's hard to wade through the false information to find things that are useful. Please help!
DR. HUBERMAN!!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do a session with a menopause professional!!! Women all over the world are struggling, and we’d like to have solutions!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I wish there were a channel like this devoted to women’s issues. My gynecologist refuses any HRT because of concerns over blood clots. The only thing she prescribed was vaginal estradiol cream for vaginal health, which worked very well. I don’t think sexual health is stressed for post-menopausal women, and it’s even more important because many women are in unhappy/unfulfilled relationships at that age.
@@DawnRK3204 The latest medical literature says that transdermal estrogen “does not significantly affect the risk” of clotting, whereas the oral estrogen route shows “excess” risk. It has to do with the fact that the oral version has to go through the liver.
The art of making Mondays feeling like Fridays by Andrew Huberman 😁 Thank you and your guests so much for the absolutely amazing content. Life-enhancing total game changers 🙏 PS I really do believe, our world is in great need of people like Andrew. Generous, great souls, wisdom sharing, open minded, altruistic beings. True guiding lights and role models. Andrew, you restore my (shall I say ours?) faith in humanity, especially in present times, when "les nouvelles sont mauvaises, d'où qu'elles viennent.." Thank you 🙏
I'm the lucky winner who got both PCOS eith insulin resistance and endometriosis--and then developed hypothyroidism. Annnd I develop blood clots with any exogenic estrogen (ie. birth control). So balancing my hormones has been a lifelong tight rope walk. People just have no idea how influential our hormones are until they aren't "normal". It's so nice to see people talking more about this. For over a decade, I was seeking answers that no one seemed to have. Now I have a hormone specialist and it's a game changer! Thank you for continuing to make information accessible to every-day people!
Yes I agree! Sounds alot like me! Birth control RUINED me. When i was on it, i was fine. I stopped taking it and I'm STILL experiencing problems 3 yrs later. I'm currently trying to find a good doctor who can help me. 😔💔
Hopefully these endocrinologists know that estrogen stores in cells. After menopause u can have the same amount of estrogen in the body as u had during cycle but won’t be found in blood tests. Estrogen HRT is nefarious to say the least. Progesterone detoxes estrogen from your cells. Progesterone and thyroid are a very helpful therapy after menopause
HOLY WOW!!! This episode was JAM-PACKED!!! I learned so much, and will definitely be re-listening. I would also love to see independent episodes for both the Pelvic Floor and Peptides, as you mentioned. Thank you Andrew and Dr. Gillet for a STELLAR addition to my evening training session🙏💜🤗
I was diagnosed with a pituitary adenoma last year and was prescribed cabergoline. At 46 my life has changed for the better, I’m back in the gym, back in shape and back alive. The conversation surrounding concussions and trauma as a cause make a ton of sense to me as a former college football player and later in the military. I had 3 concussions in high school playing sports. None of my doctors dared to suggest why I acquired this tumor. This discussion was really eye opening, thank you both!
WOW! Just WOW! I typically don’t make the time to listen to an entire podcast. However, I was actually sorry to hear this one come to a close. I’m in my mid-50s and struggling with hormonal changes… I’ll be utilizing the time stamps to listen again. The wealth of knowledge you two men encompass is ridiculous!! I felt like a school girl again, trying to soak it all in. Thank you!
Omg Costello! 😢 I normally listen to this podcast, but watched this one. Dr. Huberman, Costello still has your back. 💗🙏🏼✨ Such a good episode! Tons of valuable information! 🙌🏼 thank you both! Anyone who menstruares knows hormones are very real and powerful! Sometimes when I get my period, I’m like “well, that explains a lot” 😆 lol I admire Dr. Gillett for including Spirit to his list. Very rare and brave thing to do. It could risk his credibility in some circles. Also, Spirituality is so deeply personal. For me, it’s number 1 on any list. ✨The fun thing about Spirit, its that you can imagine it as whatever you want. When Ricky Gervais was on Stephan Colbert he was asked, “If God doesn’t bring you comfort, what does?” Ricky responded with, “Dogs. I believe in Dogs. If you don’t love a dog back, it doesn’t burn you in hell, it still loves you. A dog loves you more than it loves itself and that’s why I worship Dogs.” 💗 I think a God of our own understanding (even in the form of a dog) is the real connection all of us is truly seeking. ✌🏼💛🐶☀️🥰 sorry for my rant! I’m totally PMS-ing! Lol 😭
Dr. Kyle Gillett is a walking encyclopedia. Incredible knowledge and recall, brilliant. 5 minutes on his Bio and Resume and hours of information. I better get a notepad, and watch it again.
I haven’t missed any of your podcasts since you started on January of last year. Every week I’m looking forward for Mondays I have a dopaminic effect 😜 I love all of your guests and the dialogues are so educational. Could you include Dr Bruce Lipton? He’s a cell biologist and I think it would help us understand better the relationship between our thoughts and emotions related and interconnected with our cells and cell functioning.
Totally agree! Would love to see Bruce on the podcast. Love his theory on the cell and the functions of the organelles within. Like the nucleus is actually the gonad (house the tools for reproduction) and the cell membrane is actually the brain (regulates cell function via selective permeability), just fascinating.
Would be cool to have a full episode on mushroom supplements and their benefits. Things like lions mane, cordyceps, reishi etc. with real studies and insights.
Thank you Dr. Andrew for connecting science and tools. Please bring an episode on prefrontal cortex as it would be benificial for many people because it is the last part of the brain to completely develop and most affected by the environment and least affected by genes .
Most of the more severe illnesses happen to people by surprise, unexpectantly, impacting first in the brain, then in the corresponding organ which that part of the brain controls. The end of WWI had absolutely everything to do with the Flu and lung TB outbreak that occurred killing millions. In nature, the biological conflict linked with a territorial fear (just what it means-a fear in your territory, your home, your community, etc.) is a widening of the bronchia (tissue loss). Your body attempts to widen your bronchia in order to allow more air into your lungs to give you more strength and energy to fight to keep your territory safe. Stay with me.......The biological conflict linked with a death fright impacts the lungs. The lungs attempt to grow larger in order to allow more air in because breath equals life, as we all know. No breath equals death. While you are in the fear or death fright conflict, you notice no symptoms of “disease”, except you have cold hands, cold feet, you can’t sleep, you awaken at 3 AM every night, you have little appetite. During the war, millions of people were in fear of the bombing of their homes and cities where the war was most active. Fearing for their lives, their loved ones in the war, their ability to survive. The food in the stores was sparse due to shortages. This lasted for 4 long years! The longer the conflict, the worse the healing phase. Within 2 weeks of the German Chancellor announcing the end of WWI, these millions of people ALL went into the healing phase all at the same time. It is during the healing phase that you experience symptoms of illness! What is the healing phase of the bronchia widening? Severe bronchitis, pneumonia. The body attempts to refill this lost tissue and you experience inflammation, fever, coughing, body aches, fatigue, etc. What is the healing phase of the extra lung tissue that grew? Decomposing of the tissue by TB bacteria and fungi. The symptoms of this healing phase are: severe coughing up of blood and tissue, fever, inflammation, severe mucous, body aches, fatigue. During this decomposing of the extra tissue (tumor), the body expels a lot of protein, and without replenishment, severe protein loss can result in death. Antibiotics did not exist yet. If TB bacteria does not exist in a person or they have been vaccinated against TB (big mistake), then the tumor will simply encapsulate and become dormant and not harm you. Who died during the Spanish Flu? Mainly the poor who could not afford to buy meat and proper nourishment, and the people who were directly impacted by the bombings and destruction of their homes. Millions of people suffered fear and death frights during the fighting of WWI, and millions of people all went into healing at the end of it. Not everyone was affected because not everyone suffered the same way. It’s not a “flu”, it’s not something you “catch”. It’s biological, meaningful, and unavoidable. One hundred years later, a Fear Campaign begins, using the media to spread it......
What a really comprehensive discussion on hormone health. I've never had such data available to me in this life. Andew has increased my knowledge in so many areas of health. I'm a 78 yr old still working RN but this is such educational data. I'm so grateful to Andrew & all his stellar guests for giving their valuable time & expertise to us all.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring Barbara Oakley on the podcast!!! As an aspiring computer scientist/ engineer I would really love to learn more about how to learn and dive deeper into the neuroscience of learning itself, more specifically mathematical thinking and everything that comes with studying it.

:p Keto is horrible. It's shown to eat at your muscles by 8% in the first month or so. Many report hair falling out, weakness, etc. Carbs are a form of energy, and it depends. Most people doing keto aren't vegan, and carbs mostly come from a vegan diet. Lmfao. Carbs are what grew our brain, according to science. Our bodies were designed for plant-based, according to the largest health studies, even with heating meat (which actual omnivores don't do). Dogs can have hundreds the times of bad cholesterol of humans, and be fine. Keto is retarded, and many fail on it for a reason. Many of the very best atheltes now are vegan, in various sports, including but not limited to weightlifting! Vegan for the planet, for health, for tastes, for ending world hunger, for the animals.
WOW just WOW! This dynamic conversation between 2 highly informed practitioners was a share delight. ..... the range of topics, the clarity of questioning, the sensitivity shown, the science and personal knowledge of the many topics, the SKILLFUL discussion and the weaving through of gender needs and spiritual acuity,... was a rare treat indeed. THANKYOU❤
I wish I didn't have to pause this podcast every 3-5 min to look up the meaning of acronyms used so frequently here. Mind having them explained/spelled out and the meaning of them when used?
Great podcast. It's refreshing to hear an expert who just brings the knowledge and quickly connects the concepts. As an over 60 male I would have been interested in his guidance on hormone replacement and optimization for older men , which didn't seem to be addressed.
This really hit home! Hormonal issues is are real. PCOS is a struggle for some and not understood well. Women suffer in silence but this information is really helpful. Thank you to both of you for sharing and helping others on a day to day basis.
I’ve listened to Andrew before on JRE etc but I don’t know why I’m only going through these episodes now so much amazing information thank you also feels great learning while doing cardio
This was a really good episode, but a few topics might need a deeper dive in a future episode: - Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) - Thyroid health - How to balance hormonal health naturally? Beyond the 6 pillars :). - Optimal estrogen to testosterone ratio, both for men and women. - What lab results to get and how to read them? Most doctors stick to insurance-covered labs and there are a lot of tests that are not getting done. I guess the second part of this podcast might be useful. Also, how do you get the questions from viewers before each podcast? There were several episodes where I had a least 2-3 questions at the end of the podcast. Thanks and good luck!
Why not believe in one's self? Live close to home, for convenience. This dialogue was truly wonderful. Cafeine, I quit, but it makes me happy, so I'll just cut back. Repeat pls!
Wow. Just Wow. I’m saving this one in my library so I can share it quickly. I was an IVF patient many many years ago and could only dream that this kind if information would be available. Now well into menopause, also equally pertinent. Can’t wait until your next podcast with Dr. Huberman and Costello Dr. Gillette! Thank you.
Thank you Dr. Huberman, team, sponsors and supporters!☀️ Dr. Gillett round two🥳 THANK YOU DR. GILLETT!!! #worldchangers #consistentbrilliance #onlythebest
dedicated pcos episode please! So many women struggle with it especially if we don't want to use the pill as a long term solution. There is so so much to cover! Hardly any doctors have the time to explain it in depth either
THANK YOU for making this information accessible Dr Huberman, I would love if you did an episode on Type 1 diabetes, as there’s not much good information after you get your blood glucose under control.
Very high quality content. Thank you Dr Huberman. I feel though as the content was bit disconnected from the audience due to many acronyms, but though it might be that I am not up to the level....
As a cancer psychologist - I'm ever-searching for solid evidence-based psycho-neuro-endocrine-immunological information for my cancer patients who are significantly struggling with iatrogenic symptomology from their cancer treatments. My breast cancer patients really struggle with aromatase inhibitors + ovarian suppressants seriously impacting overall QoL + wellbeing. My (GBM) brain cancer patients really struggle with steroid induced sleep + mood issues. I'm TRYING to teach ALL my cancer patients about introducing some basic form of intermittent fasting + keto-light diet to modulate insulin + metabolic functioning to help "starve cancer". This interview was truly *mind-blowing* in its scientific content, as well as its breadth + depth of knowledge = *THANK YOU BOTH & GOD BLESS!*
Love this! Such a great way to start my week. Two comments: 1. Please do more on women and testosterone/BHRT supplementation. Nothing was mentioned re tissue strength and the benefit of thicker structures. It is so sad to hear my older female friends mention their broken skin, prolapsed uterus, stroke risks, etc which are all related to structural weaknesses (including muscle) that may be helped by testosterone. 2. It is so interesting to be watching the convergence of Traditional Medical theory, which integrates the mind, body, and spirit and uses more than the 6 pillars to diagnose and treat, over the last 10 years. (Joy and sexual activity is also included in addition to epigenetic/multi-generational foundations.) It might be interesting to get an MD/Ph.D type with a FULL TCM degree (none of this 10-day MD certificate wackiness, please!) to discuss the coming paradigm shift (somewhat described by Dr. Doug Wallace's work which extends mtDNA's role into engergetics) and how that new paradigm may solve many gaps in the marketplace resulting in lower cost, more effective treatments with higher protocol adherence.
I started bhrt a month ago. It's been life changing for me. It's trial and error when initially getting the doses correct. Positives for me; I gained back the weight I lost through muscle atrophy, skin issues cleared up, thicker & longer hair and more energy. The best part or the therapy is my confidence/personality is reimmersing. I pay out of pocket for the therapy.
@@bellakim9404 Yes! It is crazy that insurance doesn't cover BHRT yet will cover a myriad of psych meds to mask symptoms. I have a number of +50 yo female friends who now think they have a sleep disorder, depression, or manic issues and will need psych meds for the rest of their lives.
I get so annoyed with how many times Andrew makes comments about his podcast or conversations being dull or boring! People are here to learn and benefit from all the amazing details and data....please stop with this mindset that these chats are anything else! Thanks for taking the time to enrich us with much needed information. 🙏🏻
@@meredithsluckystars thank you so much for asking 🙏🏼🙏🏼we all are doing good. Half of things which you see online are not reflecting true picture. 😀 day before yesterday we cheered for volunteers who are helping all of us .. so we clapped , whistled .. we shouted and thanked them for their contribution but next day morning in all the news channels we saw.. SHANGHAI PEOPLE ARE LOCKED UP AND THEY ARE SCREAMING OUT OF FRUSTRATION AND PAIN.. 😂😂 nothing was true .. 😂😂
Please please invest an entire episode on sleep apnea! So much in this realm is unknown and underdiscussed, obstructive, central, complex, etc. Lines of treatment seem ancient and this is a silent killer for so many and doctors (for the most part) tend to overlook symptomology and focusing more on pharmaceutical treatment of symptoms vs addressing underlying causes. Thanks for all of your amazing public education Andrew, follower from day 1!
Great interview 🙌 So happy he spoke about the spiritual aspect. Coming back to my relationship with Jesus has GREATLY improved my health. The more I learn about the body, the more blown away I am at the awesome Creator we have. Birth control pills DESTROYED my body. I am still having problems 3 yrs later. Something in my Spirit told me to just give my body what it needs (multivitamin, sun, healthy foods from the ground) and the body will heal. With that, I am getting better everyday 🙏🤍😊 Andrew, this podcast was done very well. Great discussion. Bravo 🥰👏
1:13:00 I'd be highly skeptical about the studies that say one serving of alcohol a day is healthy. I've actually only heard this for red wine (you can get polyphenols elsewhere btw), but the reason being is that wine is an investment industry and thus, investors will fund specific studies that will put the product in a good light to increase sales. Studies that would counter them wouldn't receive as much funding. It's like sunscreen. So many studies have been published saying how bad sunlight is for you, yet now we are seeing studies that show it's good for you (in moderation, obviously don't burn yourself). We also didn't get studies to see how sunscreen affects you and that's how we ended up with some that leech through your skin and are found in your blood.
I agree with you! Alcohol is toxic; it damages and kills cells and is the fifth leading cause of cancer. There may be benefits of polyphenols contained in red wine, but to recomend 'alcohol consumption' based on that is highly irresponsible.
You do mention women but this is mostly about men. Women have more horminal issues with so much suffering. We need education like you give Please take it deeper.
I suspected as much. I didn’t listen, only skimmed the transcript and found only partial answers related to women’s hormone health. As much as I have valued many of Dr. Huberman’s episodes, I’m really not convinced he would know what to ask a guest about anything related to women’s health. He’s revealed himself to be incredibly limited in this domain. I do appreciate the attempt here, though. He’s recently indicated that he lives with a woman so I guess we hold out hope that he has an interest in her wellbeing and maybe that will eventually translate to his podcast? Until then, if it helps, I’ve recently come across interviews with Dr. Arti Thangudu (triple board certified endocrinologist) and Dr. Tara Scott (triple board certified OBGYN, regenerative medicine, menopause specialist) that have been most insightful. If you can recommend anyone else, do let us know. Take care.
@@westcoastswingmusic You’re welcome! Dr. Lisa Mosconi is another wonderful advocate for women’s hormone health as it relates to cognitive health and aging cognitive decline. Her book “The XX Brain” is aces. Her most recent study is on estrogen exposure and dementia risk (Jett et al., 2022; Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, open access). And her study published last year on how menopause impacts the brain was most elucidative. (Nature Scientific Reports, also open access). Take care. (Sorry, I tried to link to the articles but UA-cam won’t let me post links)

I am 32 and have been on TRT for the past 4 years. I have become obsessed with researching hormones and how they all work together in the body. I will say this, I’m thinking of switching to this guy as my doctor. I would venture to say he is the most knowledge person in this space.
I was DX with PCOS in my early 20s in the 80s by a very brilliant doctor. Nobody knew what it was. What happens to PCOS after menopause? There is hardly any discussion about it.
About HCG it's now approved as a weight lost treatment, I did it a long ago and as a woman I found it useful with a lot of benefits not just weigh lost. Nice video I will replaying again. God bless you and your team.
I do intermittent fasting almost everyday. My reason: I can not stop eating once I put one piece of any food into my mouth. I literally eat and eat and eat nonstop. And if I resist myself from eating I feel really bad physically, as if something inside my stomach and my abdomen is wrong. And if I do not resist myself from eating (and I don’t, cos I can not resist food) I feel worse and worse with each bite cos I just stuff myself with food nonstop. So whatever I do the end result is horrible. And my anxiety starts to build up. If I intermittent fast until 4-5 p.m. two things happen: physically I feel amazing and the clarity of mind is unbelievable. I’m not hungry at all, I don’t need food at all. I’m full of energy and my anxiety is nonexistent. When I start to eat I don’t stop anymore but cos it’s late in the day I eat much less cos not much time is left in the day. And for some reason I don’t feel physically as bad as if I start to eat earlier, actually most days I don’t really feel bad even though I eat if I start eating late. I’m very slim, I think I categorize for American size zero, 53 years old. So for me - if I want to feel good I need to avoid eating food for as long as possible. Does anyone else have this kind of problem? Once you put a piece of something into your mouth you just eat and eat all the time?
@@westcoastswingmusic why do you assume I did not seek professional doctor? I’ve been “seeking” their help for all of my life. I was taking antidepressants and some tranquilizers for ten years only to find out that magnesium salts calm my thoughts down much more successfully without being sedated and only to find out that diet cures my depression whereas antidepressants only keep my depression at bay but never cures it. And those were not the only medicine prescribed to me. I was feeling worse and worse every day and needing more and more medical help. I’m off everything now and feeling better than ever. My anxiety only comes back a little bit when I eat wrong food but with the help of tools dr. Huberman provides I overcome it almost instantly. As for my illnesses- I have never been breastfed and was on superficial milk from day one and for what I’ve learnt that is probably the reason for my illnesses - messed up gut bacteria. And what do professional doctors know about gut bacteria? Zero ☺️ You don’t get real impression of a person from a youtube comment, in real life people are quite shocked about my youthful appearance and athletic figure and overall health. People of my age literally think I’m much younger than them. What I mean to say is that I’m not in a poor condition and struggling from day to day, quite contrary ☺️
I had this same problem for years. Was so much easier to simply eat nothing than to eat something and try and stop. I literally couldn't. I could eat for hours no matter how full I felt. I believe it was triggered by yo yo dieting and food obsession. I think the constant changes in my weight caused my appetite to surge out of control as though I was high all the time with the munches (I wasn't). Looking back I feel it was hormonal imbalance of grehlin and leptin (hunger and satiety hormones). If I could get in my time machine I'd go to an endocrinologist to have this checked out. For me personally though the ONLY thing that got me off this track was to stop absurd restrictive diets that only worked temporarily and then turned me into an eating machine.
I totally love your podcasts! I am an MSN, and a diet,health and nutrition advocate and best-selling author. I also previously worked in a hormone therapy practice and currently offer my own health & hormone fix program. This is some great, fascinating information. Love it and LOVE your podcasts! I really wish I would have studied neurobiology and majored in that area. I can totally GEEK out on this stuff. Thank you!
I knowed about your podcast from Rich Roll Podcast. I am sure that as many others in the entire world...(here from Spain) I feel grateful for the existence of your podcast. I am a microbiology scientist and since I started listening your podcast I have learned so many interesting and exiting topica about health, mind and wellbeing. I really want to THANK YOU for your time, enthusiam, effort and dedication in that amazing podcast. Please, keep doing it!!!! All the best wishes
Amazing back and forth between these two amazingly smart guys. Admittedly the majority of which was way over my head, but I did get some good take a ways from this session.
Dear Andrew please consider making an episode on andropause. I'm 55 and surely me other men my age could benefit from the updated and comprehensive information you so generously provide. Mainly information on body changes and tips and ways to compenate or alleviate the unavoidable effects of age.
I agree - Dr Briden is a brilliant source of all things hormones for women, especially in regard to menopause. There was definitely a male dominance to the information in this podcast.
This channel and all of these conversations represent the best of what UA-cam can be and is currently. Imagine if such clear, high-quality information could be more mainstream and taken in by more people...so much improvement to our free-falling health and lifestyles and the USA and elsewhere.
This is one of the most informative and memorable podcasts ever. Thank you Andrew and Kyle for what you do! The recommendation from doctors to drink wine is terribly flawed though, even though it supposedly has research to back it up. Drinking alcohol is BAD for you. Case closed. I wish doctors would stop saying otherwise.
@@jimwexell14 Right, let's censor ourselves and hide the truth because somewhere in the world, some people can't deal with facts. Exemplary reasoning. Sun is good for you. "Oh but some people have skin cancer"
like listening to two Jazz musicians who have been playing all their lives and I'm thinking about giving up my guitar lessons LOL, but then that passes and you're truly inspired thanks gents
Can you give a shift working nurse some advice on how to “optimise my hormones”? Shift work is known to interfere with our sleep patterns and hormones. Sometimes the only choice nurses have is to leave the profession to have some kind of control over the lifestyle factors, like good sleep hygiene habits of going to bed at the same time and waking at the same time. We often don’t have control over meal times etc.
He did kind of covered some about that subject during the first month of his podcasts talking about sleep. You might find some ideas of how to try to counterbalance (at least in part ) your schedule with a few tweaks here and there. He also had another podcast about sleep 8 month ago with Dr Matthew Walker and they also discussed a little about the same subject ua-cam.com/video/gbQFSMayJxk/v-deo.html Just today Mike Mutzel released a video that talks about saunas and their benefits for emergency personnel and shift workers ua-cam.com/video/nNotu0HcxHg/v-deo.html
Agree; I use whole turmeric root and freshly ground pepper every day for the health benefits and flavor. Hopefully the negative effects are limited to supplements, not the whole food version.
Oh same here. Use tumeric for all sorts. Food first and foremost. Also use it, when I have a cough and apply to cuts. Hopefully, usage such as this doesn't have too much of a negative impact on the body and DHT levels.🤔
My brain got overwhelmed. A lot of great information here, and I'll be definitely researching it. I have PCOS and I thought once a partial hysterectomy was done, that I didn't have to worry. Wrong.... still dealing with it years later. Thank you so much for putting this out here. I will be watching in increments.
Thank you! I will be watching this a few times to try to take it all in. As a suggestion for another guest Dr Stacey T Sim's work optimising athletic training around the menstrual cycle is fascinating. I would love to hear that conversation!
My favourite source for health related information, I've learned so much in the past year that I would have never learned, my life has improved so much!!
One thing that confused me a little, the doctor said that DHT inhibitors like finasteride are good for Heart health and prostate health, but Hiberman kept insisting on the negative effects of it and turmeric, like he interpreted what the doctor said as negative.. . I’ve been taking finasteride for almost months and it would be very useful to get more insights on how to keep optimal libido while taking oral finasteride. Injecting finasteride locally seems like too much hustle
Thanks for another episode! Would love an interview with Ian McGilchrist sometime, both of his books are a captivating bridge between neuroscience and philosophy
I feel this conversation was a between doctors discussion more than catering the answers towards public understanding. All that wealth of knowledge was too heavy to digest even though Andrew has been pushing constantly for practical examples and notions clarifications. Thank you nevertheless for this amazing channel with free access to medical science.
I am fascinated with Dr. Gillet´s knowledge and simplicity. I admire his holistic approach- mind, body & soul- certainly a highlight in preventive health care. It is amazing to have the opportunity to learn directly from such dedicated scientists. Thanks for this great episode!
my favourite podcast on this chanell so far! from various reasons! mr. gillett is very knowledgeable and smart person with very straight and easy going personality. it was very easy and pleasant to watch!
Yes yet it was more deep and complex but still very easy to understand with the complementarity between Dr. Gilett knowledge and Dr. Huberman to help us
I didn’t really understand - if I intermittent fast my growth hormone increases over night and that is good if you are older? Something we aim for? And if I intermittent fast until late afternoon and only then start to eat I still get more growth hormone? And if I eat until I go to sleep does my growth hormone still increase?
Being the third party in this conversation is so incredibly humbling! These two gents are incredibly brilliant but also very humble themselves! Thank you for this content. Doc you ask for video ideas I have one that many people I think would like information about. I am a firefighter/ paramedic in a relatively large city new DFW. We work 48 hours at a time and are off for 96 ( a fairly common schedule). You have hinted to the negative aspects of shift work. I would be interested in a video of the affects of it on our bodies and ways to mitigate the damage. We wake up typically once but I have had plenty of 24 hour periods where we will not sleep. Unfortunately due to the nature of the work we cannot decrease light levels to reduce the time it would take to fall back asleep when we get back to the station. In paramedic school they told us about a study that was being conducted on Dallas Fire Rescue about their sleep but haven’t heard results. Thank you again for your channel. It has been monumental in my life.
That’s not even close to what he said. At 2:42:00 he says “alcohol significantly increases aromatase, so if you’re very sensitive to estrogen, then you probably shouldn’t even consume the two glasses three times a week.” Should NOT.
Definitely the state of mind affects and determines the physical health, they are undeniable interconnected. No medication can help permanently or long term if you're not on the right path with your soul and mind. I don't push my faith to others too but i strongly recommend anyone to search for the truth and their soul needs. When i was kinda lost and on the wrong path i often abused stimulates to cope with my spiritual hunger. There's so much more than this physical plain and body, actually i belive this is least important and i find myself remembering constantly of "Search for the kingdom of God and the rest will be added to you." and shocks me every time of the accuracy. As a christian healthy woman i enjoy Andrew's talks, informative and therapeutic. Salute from Europe
At times I don’t know how you two kept a straight face 😆 I was laughing out loud here especially when Dr.Gillet tried not to laugh at at Dr. H’s deadpan deliveries . It made the content much more interesting and kept me better focused for the long periods when I didn’t understand all the technical language. A lot of it made it through through and I had a good time as well. Thank you for making this information available to the public !
I’ve been trying to understand the purpose and neuroscience behind menopausal hot flashes - no good info to be found. Could you address this at some point?
Recommendation for future episode: the Science of taking rests. I always wondered on the effects of taking one day completely off per week. Like in the Bible it says, that on the seventh day one should rest and like that, it is part of many cultures. I mean, one could otherwise be just productive always 7 days straight. I know this was mentioned at the optimizing performance episode, but not in-depth / mechanistically. Best, a very grateful listener :-)
Was a wonderful and memorable conversation, and an honor to be on the podcast!
Thank you 👍
You are very well spoken and knowledgeable - it’s great to see people that are passionate about their profession.
I’ll definitely be checking out some of your other content. Thanks for all the information!
Still haven't watch the video but dr Kyle Gillett can you tell us some divulgatives books that can be read on the topic of this episode?
:3 Ashwagandha, maca, meditation, yoga, walking, breathwork, turmeric, green tea, veganism, and other ways to ease hormones. Epigenetics. Dr. Joe Dispenza.
:p Keto is horrible. It's shown to eat at your muscles by 8% in the first month or so. Many report hair falling out, weakness, etc. Carbs are a form of energy, and it depends. Most people doing keto aren't vegan, and carbs mostly come from a vegan diet. Lmfao. Carbs are what grew our brain, according to science. Our bodies were designed for plant-based, according to the largest health studies, even with heating meat (which actual omnivores don't do). Dogs can have hundreds the times of bad cholesterol of humans, and be fine. Keto is retarded, and many fail on it for a reason. Many of the very best atheltes now are vegan, in various sports, including but not limited to weightlifting! Vegan for the planet, for health, for tastes, for ending world hunger, for the animals.
Would LOVE to hear you and Dr Gillett discuss menopause, what happens, what to do for it, and how to manage each of the symptoms naturally, if possible. That would be a GREAT podcast and so helpful to a forgotten group of women.
Have you read Dr. Elizabeth Bright's book?
Maybe also Abdropause. Most men are not aware they have an analogous process as well
Agreed, they went into hormone replacement for men but what about woman?
Progesterone is the most important as that stops after menopause. Estrogen is still created in cells after menopause as it does with men too. It may show up low on blood tests but estrogen will store in cells. U can have similar amounts of estrogen stored in cells after menopause as circulating during your cycle. The estrogen unopposed by progesterone increases risk for cancer and other metabolic diseases. The estrogen industry is dubious and still runs the show funding all these studies touting the benefits of estrogen.
@@aspiresk8boarding Thank you. I am an Rn, MSN and I specialize in hormones.I am well aware of that.
You created a wave of sharing knowledge from credible sources and the best minds per field as well as information on how to immediately apply that information. No fluff, no bs. This is how to properly utilize the power of the internet. Free education for all! Thank you Andrew Huberman! As well as all researchers on the frontlines of progressing our species forward.

Best comment award 🥇!
❤😊😊
This guy is a living library, amazing how knowledgable this guy is!! Thank you both for this very enlightening discussion!
I waa thinking the same thing!!!!!
He probably got like a 270+ step 1 score.
It's a living library in comparison with your negligible or null knowledge about this topic or the average public knowledge.
Absolutely. He's got a full grasp of the mechanisms and technical pathways in and around hormones male and female. Clearly excellent memory also and works on his craft as a lot of this you can forget when you're at the top of your game .
I would love to see a podcast that is directed to peri and post-menopausal women and the role of HRT for symptom relief, overall quality of life issues (sleep, mood disturbance, ability to build and retain muscle mass, motivation, libido, clear-headedness) and what the 'real' optimal hormone levels are, as recorded in blood tests while on HRT (including estrogen/testosterone pellets). Love the podcasts and listen as often and as much as I can. Keep doing what you're doing!!
Love, love love that the impact on women was addressed in each issue, much appreciated. HRT for peri and post-menopause was not addressed, would love to hear an entire episode geared to this topic as there is so much conflicting information, including between MDs
Yes! I came to make a request that you do a podcast on menopause, what is really happening, and what women can do to manage the symptoms and the drop in estrogen. We're told that we should/shouldn't take HRT, that endurance cardio is bad, intense exercise is bad, but strength training is good, and weight gain is inevitable, and we can eat the right foods and symptoms will go away. Family doctors generally know very little, and few drs recommend topical estrogen. It's hard to wade through the false information to find things that are useful. Please help!
Yes! I agree, need more information on this. I use hrt for brain and heart health. But my Dr is conflicted.
DR. HUBERMAN!!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do a session with a menopause professional!!! Women all over the world are struggling, and we’d like to have solutions!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I wish there were a channel like this devoted to women’s issues. My gynecologist refuses any HRT because of concerns over blood clots. The only thing she prescribed was vaginal estradiol cream for vaginal health, which worked very well. I don’t think sexual health is stressed for post-menopausal women, and it’s even more important because many women are in unhappy/unfulfilled relationships at that age.
@@DawnRK3204 The latest medical literature says that transdermal estrogen “does not significantly affect the risk” of clotting, whereas the oral estrogen route shows “excess” risk. It has to do with the fact that the oral version has to go through the liver.
These past two podcasts are out of this world !!! Thank you so much, such a unique a quality source of information
Dr. Gillett has an absolutely vast and enormous knowlege of endocrinology, nutrition, and supplements!
The art of making Mondays feeling like Fridays by Andrew Huberman 😁
Thank you and your guests so much for the absolutely amazing content. Life-enhancing total game changers 🙏
PS I really do believe, our world is in great need of people like Andrew. Generous, great souls, wisdom sharing, open minded, altruistic beings. True guiding lights and role models.
Andrew, you restore my (shall I say ours?) faith in humanity, especially in present times, when "les nouvelles sont mauvaises, d'où qu'elles viennent.." Thank you 🙏
🥳
I'm the lucky winner who got both PCOS eith insulin resistance and endometriosis--and then developed hypothyroidism. Annnd I develop blood clots with any exogenic estrogen (ie. birth control). So balancing my hormones has been a lifelong tight rope walk. People just have no idea how influential our hormones are until they aren't "normal". It's so nice to see people talking more about this. For over a decade, I was seeking answers that no one seemed to have. Now I have a hormone specialist and it's a game changer! Thank you for continuing to make information accessible to every-day people!
Yes I agree! Sounds alot like me! Birth control RUINED me. When i was on it, i was fine. I stopped taking it and I'm STILL experiencing problems 3 yrs later. I'm currently trying to find a good doctor who can help me. 😔💔
Hopefully these endocrinologists know that estrogen stores in cells. After menopause u can have the same amount of estrogen in the body as u had during cycle but won’t be found in blood tests. Estrogen HRT is nefarious to say the least. Progesterone detoxes estrogen from your cells. Progesterone and thyroid are a very helpful therapy after menopause
HOLY WOW!!! This episode was JAM-PACKED!!! I learned so much, and will definitely be re-listening. I would also love to see independent episodes for both the Pelvic Floor and Peptides, as you mentioned. Thank you Andrew and Dr. Gillet for a STELLAR addition to my evening training session🙏💜🤗
I was diagnosed with a pituitary adenoma last year and was prescribed cabergoline. At 46 my life has changed for the better, I’m back in the gym, back in shape and back alive. The conversation surrounding concussions and trauma as a cause make a ton of sense to me as a former college football player and later in the military. I had 3 concussions in high school playing sports. None of my doctors dared to suggest why I acquired this tumor. This discussion was really eye opening, thank you both!
WOW! Just WOW! I typically don’t make the time to listen to an entire podcast. However, I was actually sorry to hear this one come to a close. I’m in my mid-50s and struggling with hormonal changes… I’ll be utilizing the time stamps to listen again.
The wealth of knowledge you two men encompass is ridiculous!! I felt like a school girl again, trying to soak it all in. Thank you!
Omg Costello! 😢 I normally listen to this podcast, but watched this one. Dr. Huberman, Costello still has your back. 💗🙏🏼✨
Such a good episode! Tons of valuable information! 🙌🏼 thank you both! Anyone who menstruares knows hormones are very real and powerful! Sometimes when I get my period, I’m like “well, that explains a lot” 😆 lol
I admire Dr. Gillett for including Spirit to his list. Very rare and brave thing to do. It could risk his credibility in some circles. Also, Spirituality is so deeply personal. For me, it’s number 1 on any list. ✨The fun thing about Spirit, its that you can imagine it as whatever you want. When Ricky Gervais was on Stephan Colbert he was asked, “If God doesn’t bring you comfort, what does?” Ricky responded with, “Dogs. I believe in Dogs. If you don’t love a dog back, it doesn’t burn you in hell, it still loves you. A dog loves you more than it loves itself and that’s why I worship Dogs.” 💗 I think a God of our own understanding (even in the form of a dog) is the real connection all of us is truly seeking. ✌🏼💛🐶☀️🥰 sorry for my rant! I’m totally PMS-ing! Lol 😭
Dog backwards is spelled God 😊
Dr. Kyle Gillett is a walking encyclopedia. Incredible knowledge and recall, brilliant.
5 minutes on his Bio and Resume and hours of information.
I better get a notepad, and watch it again.
I haven’t missed any of your podcasts since you started on January of last year. Every week I’m looking forward for Mondays I have a dopaminic effect 😜
I love all of your guests and the dialogues are so educational.
Could you include Dr Bruce Lipton? He’s a cell biologist and I think it would help us understand better the relationship between our thoughts and emotions related and interconnected with our cells and cell functioning.
Also what is Candace Pert doing these days?
Bruce lipton would be great
Yes! I support that. Bruce Lipton and Andrew Huberman would be incredible together!
Totally agree! Would love to see Bruce on the podcast. Love his theory on the cell and the functions of the organelles within. Like the nucleus is actually the gonad (house the tools for reproduction) and the cell membrane is actually the brain (regulates cell function via selective permeability), just fascinating.
That's alot of time wasted
I learn more listening to your podcasts over a few weeks than I ever did in any science class ever
Would be cool to have a full episode on mushroom supplements and their benefits. Things like lions mane, cordyceps, reishi etc. with real studies and insights.
I second this 🥹
He should get Paul Stamets on
Yes ! 🇦🇺💪
@@BrandoTheMando87 absolutely!
Yes, please.
Thank you Dr. Andrew for connecting science and tools.
Please bring an episode on prefrontal cortex as it would be benificial for many people because it is the last part of the brain to completely develop and most affected by the environment and least affected by genes .
Most of the more severe illnesses happen to people by surprise, unexpectantly, impacting first in the brain, then in the corresponding organ which that part of the brain controls. The end of WWI had absolutely everything to do with the Flu and lung TB outbreak that occurred killing millions. In nature, the biological conflict linked with a territorial fear (just what it means-a fear in your territory, your home, your community, etc.) is a widening of the bronchia (tissue loss). Your body attempts to widen your bronchia in order to allow more air into your lungs to give you more strength and energy to fight to keep your territory safe. Stay with me.......The biological conflict linked with a death fright impacts the lungs. The lungs attempt to grow larger in order to allow more air in because breath equals life, as we all know. No breath equals death.
While you are in the fear or death fright conflict, you notice no symptoms of “disease”, except you have cold hands, cold feet, you can’t sleep, you awaken at 3 AM every night, you have little appetite. During the war, millions of people were in fear of the bombing of their homes and cities where the war was most active. Fearing for their lives, their loved ones in the war, their ability to survive. The food in the stores was sparse due to shortages. This lasted for 4 long years! The longer the conflict, the worse the healing phase. Within 2 weeks of the German Chancellor announcing the end of WWI, these millions of people ALL went into the healing phase all at the same time. It is during the healing phase that you experience symptoms of illness! What is the healing phase of the bronchia widening? Severe bronchitis, pneumonia. The body attempts to refill this lost tissue and you experience inflammation, fever, coughing, body aches, fatigue, etc. What is the healing phase of the extra lung tissue that grew? Decomposing of the tissue by TB bacteria and fungi. The symptoms of this healing phase are: severe coughing up of blood and tissue, fever, inflammation, severe mucous, body aches, fatigue. During this decomposing of the extra tissue (tumor), the body expels a lot of protein, and without replenishment, severe protein loss can result in death. Antibiotics did not exist yet. If TB bacteria does not exist in a person or they have been vaccinated against TB (big mistake), then the tumor will simply encapsulate and become dormant and not harm you. Who died during the Spanish Flu? Mainly the poor who could not afford to buy meat and proper nourishment, and the people who were directly impacted by the bombings and destruction of their homes.
Millions of people suffered fear and death frights during the fighting of WWI, and millions of people all went into healing at the end of it. Not everyone was affected because not everyone suffered the same way.
It’s not a “flu”, it’s not something you “catch”. It’s biological, meaningful, and unavoidable. One hundred years later, a Fear Campaign begins, using the media to spread it......
What a really comprehensive discussion on hormone health. I've never had such data available to me in this life. Andew has increased my knowledge in so many areas of health. I'm a 78 yr old still working RN but this is such educational data. I'm so grateful to Andrew & all his stellar guests for giving their valuable time & expertise to us all.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring Barbara Oakley on the podcast!!! As an aspiring computer scientist/ engineer I would really love to learn more about how to learn and dive deeper into the neuroscience of learning itself, more specifically mathematical thinking and everything that comes with studying it.

WOW just WOW! This dynamic conversation between 2 highly informed practitioners was a share delight. ..... the range of topics, the clarity of questioning, the sensitivity shown, the science and personal knowledge of the many topics, the SKILLFUL discussion and the weaving through of gender needs and spiritual acuity,... was a rare treat indeed. THANKYOU❤
I wish I didn't have to pause this podcast every 3-5 min to look up the meaning of acronyms used so frequently here.
Mind having them explained/spelled out and the meaning of them when used?
Dr. G. indeed IS a living encyclopedia, and what a kind human being. Thank you
Great podcast. It's refreshing to hear an expert who just brings the knowledge and quickly connects the concepts. As an over 60 male I would have been interested in his guidance on hormone replacement and optimization for older men , which didn't seem to be addressed.
This really hit home! Hormonal issues is are real.
PCOS is a struggle for some and not understood well. Women suffer in silence but this information is really helpful.
Thank you to both of you for sharing and helping others on a day to day basis.
I’ve listened to Andrew before on JRE etc but I don’t know why I’m only going through these episodes now so much amazing information thank you also feels great learning while doing cardio
This was one of the most informative podcasts I've ever listened to, and Dr. Kyle is probably the smartest I've listened to.
This was a really good episode, but a few topics might need a deeper dive in a future episode:
- Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG)
- Thyroid health
- How to balance hormonal health naturally? Beyond the 6 pillars :).
- Optimal estrogen to testosterone ratio, both for men and women.
- What lab results to get and how to read them? Most doctors stick to insurance-covered labs and there are a lot of tests that are not getting done.
I guess the second part of this podcast might be useful. Also, how do you get the questions from viewers before each podcast? There were several episodes where I had a least 2-3 questions at the end of the podcast.
Thanks and good luck!
Why not believe in one's self? Live close to home, for convenience.
This dialogue was truly wonderful. Cafeine, I quit, but it makes me happy, so I'll just cut back. Repeat pls!
Wow. Just Wow. I’m saving this one in my library so I can share it quickly. I was an IVF patient many many years ago and could only dream that this kind if information would be available. Now well into menopause, also equally pertinent. Can’t wait until your next podcast with Dr. Huberman and Costello Dr. Gillette! Thank you.
I am researching now too, all I can, because my gynecologist send me directly to IVF.
Thank you Dr. Huberman, team, sponsors and supporters!☀️
Dr. Gillett round two🥳 THANK YOU DR. GILLETT!!!

#onlythebest
dedicated pcos episode please! So many women struggle with it especially if we don't want to use the pill as a long term solution. There is so so much to cover! Hardly any doctors have the time to explain it in depth either
Yes please🙏🙏🙏
I like how he touches on spiritual health. If for sure will effect mental and physical health in my opinion.
Thank you so much for covering PCOS! Such a common hormonal issue, but with so much misinformation & pseudoscience spread about it
THANK YOU for making this information accessible Dr Huberman, I would love if you did an episode on Type 1 diabetes, as there’s not much good information after you get your blood glucose under control.
Very high quality content. Thank you Dr Huberman.
I feel though as the content was bit disconnected from the audience due to many acronyms, but though it might be that I am not up to the level....
As a cancer psychologist - I'm ever-searching for solid evidence-based psycho-neuro-endocrine-immunological information for my cancer patients who are significantly struggling with iatrogenic symptomology from their cancer treatments. My breast cancer patients really struggle with aromatase inhibitors + ovarian suppressants seriously impacting overall QoL + wellbeing. My (GBM) brain cancer patients really struggle with steroid induced sleep + mood issues. I'm TRYING to teach ALL my cancer patients about introducing some basic form of intermittent fasting + keto-light diet to modulate insulin + metabolic functioning to help "starve cancer". This interview was truly *mind-blowing* in its scientific content, as well as its breadth + depth of knowledge = *THANK YOU BOTH & GOD BLESS!*
Love this! Such a great way to start my week. Two comments:
1. Please do more on women and testosterone/BHRT supplementation. Nothing was mentioned re tissue strength and the benefit of thicker structures. It is so sad to hear my older female friends mention their broken skin, prolapsed uterus, stroke risks, etc which are all related to structural weaknesses (including muscle) that may be helped by testosterone.
2. It is so interesting to be watching the convergence of Traditional Medical theory, which integrates the mind, body, and spirit and uses more than the 6 pillars to diagnose and treat, over the last 10 years. (Joy and sexual activity is also included in addition to epigenetic/multi-generational foundations.) It might be interesting to get an MD/Ph.D type with a FULL TCM degree (none of this 10-day MD certificate wackiness, please!) to discuss the coming paradigm shift (somewhat described by Dr. Doug Wallace's work which extends mtDNA's role into engergetics) and how that new paradigm may solve many gaps in the marketplace resulting in lower cost, more effective treatments with higher protocol adherence.
I started bhrt a month ago. It's been life changing for me. It's trial and error when initially getting the doses correct. Positives for me; I gained back the weight I lost through muscle atrophy, skin issues cleared up, thicker & longer hair and more energy. The best part or the therapy is my confidence/personality is reimmersing. I pay out of pocket for the therapy.
@@bellakim9404 Yes! It is crazy that insurance doesn't cover BHRT yet will cover a myriad of psych meds to mask symptoms. I have a number of +50 yo female friends who now think they have a sleep disorder, depression, or manic issues and will need psych meds for the rest of their lives.
It's all about the bottom line. Profit.
How can one human have this much knowledge???
Gillett is a wizard!
We need an episode on hair loss!!
Embrace it . Dont be insecure
I get so annoyed with how many times Andrew makes comments about his podcast or conversations being dull or boring! People are here to learn and benefit from all the amazing details and data....please stop with this mindset that these chats are anything else! Thanks for taking the time to enrich us with much needed information. 🙏🏻
Happy Monday everyone. Based in Shanghai locked up at home for last 15 days really need this. Thank you Sir for timely, most needed session. 😊🙏🏼🌺😊🌺😊🙏🏼

Please please invest an entire episode on sleep apnea! So much in this realm is unknown and underdiscussed, obstructive, central, complex, etc. Lines of treatment seem ancient and this is a silent killer for so many and doctors (for the most part) tend to overlook symptomology
and focusing more on pharmaceutical treatment of symptoms vs addressing underlying causes. Thanks for all of your amazing public education Andrew, follower from day 1!
Great interview 🙌 So happy he spoke about the spiritual aspect. Coming back to my relationship with Jesus has GREATLY improved my health. The more I learn about the body, the more blown away I am at the awesome Creator we have. Birth control pills DESTROYED my body. I am still having problems 3 yrs later. Something in my Spirit told me to just give my body what it needs (multivitamin, sun, healthy foods from the ground) and the body will heal. With that, I am getting better everyday 🙏🤍😊
Andrew, this podcast was done very well. Great discussion. Bravo 🥰👏
1:13:00 I'd be highly skeptical about the studies that say one serving of alcohol a day is healthy. I've actually only heard this for red wine (you can get polyphenols elsewhere btw), but the reason being is that wine is an investment industry and thus, investors will fund specific studies that will put the product in a good light to increase sales. Studies that would counter them wouldn't receive as much funding.
It's like sunscreen. So many studies have been published saying how bad sunlight is for you, yet now we are seeing studies that show it's good for you (in moderation, obviously don't burn yourself). We also didn't get studies to see how sunscreen affects you and that's how we ended up with some that leech through your skin and are found in your blood.
I agree with you! Alcohol is toxic; it damages and kills cells and is the fifth leading cause of cancer. There may be benefits of polyphenols contained in red wine, but to recomend 'alcohol consumption' based on that is highly irresponsible.
💯
Dr Huberman, thanks for everything you do. Any plans for an episode on gut-brain connection in the context of IBS?
Dr. Gillett: The best hormone advice a man can get
You do mention women but this is mostly about men. Women have more horminal issues with so much suffering. We need education like you give Please take it deeper.
Agree. Would love to see Dr. Huberman bring Dr. Lara Briden on here. Her books Period Repair Manual and Hormone Repair Manual are fabulously edifying!
I suspected as much. I didn’t listen, only skimmed the transcript and found only partial answers related to women’s hormone health. As much as I have valued many of Dr. Huberman’s episodes, I’m really not convinced he would know what to ask a guest about anything related to women’s health. He’s revealed himself to be incredibly limited in this domain. I do appreciate the attempt here, though. He’s recently indicated that he lives with a woman so I guess we hold out hope that he has an interest in her wellbeing and maybe that will eventually translate to his podcast? Until then, if it helps, I’ve recently come across interviews with Dr. Arti Thangudu (triple board certified endocrinologist) and Dr. Tara Scott (triple board certified OBGYN, regenerative medicine, menopause specialist) that have been most insightful. If you can recommend anyone else, do let us know. Take care.
Sounds good. I look forward to it.

💯 Thanks for the recommendations K B
@@westcoastswingmusic You’re welcome! Dr. Lisa Mosconi is another wonderful advocate for women’s hormone health as it relates to cognitive health and aging cognitive decline. Her book “The XX Brain” is aces. Her most recent study is on estrogen exposure and dementia risk (Jett et al., 2022; Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, open access). And her study published last year on how menopause impacts the brain was most elucidative. (Nature Scientific Reports, also open access). Take care.

My favorite episode of the Huberman Lab podcast.
Thank you very much. These podcasts are incredible.
I like this man a lot. He emphasises the importance of spiritual health. It’s difficult to find medical practitioners who do.

Stay with me.......The biological conflict linked with a death fright impacts the lungs. The lungs attempt to grow larger in order to allow more air in because breath equals life, as we all know. No breath equals death.
While you are in the fear or death fright conflict, you notice no symptoms of “disease”, except you have cold hands, cold feet, you can’t sleep, you awaken at 3 AM every night, you have little appetite. During the war, millions of people were in fear of the bombing of their homes and cities where the war was most active. Fearing for their lives, their loved ones in the war, their ability to survive. The food in the stores was sparse due to shortages. This lasted for 4 long years! The longer the conflict, the worse the healing phase. Within 2 weeks of the German Chancellor announcing the end of WWI, these millions of people ALL went into the healing phase all at the same time. It is during the healing phase that you experience symptoms of illness! What is the healing phase of the bronchia widening? Severe bronchitis, pneumonia. The body attempts to refill this lost tissue and you experience inflammation, fever, coughing, body aches, fatigue, etc. What is the healing phase of the extra lung tissue that grew? Decomposing of the tissue by TB bacteria and fungi. The symptoms of this healing phase are: severe coughing up of blood and tissue, fever, inflammation, severe mucous, body aches, fatigue. During this decomposing of the extra tissue (tumor), the body expels a lot of protein, and without replenishment, severe protein loss can result in death. Antibiotics did not exist yet. If TB bacteria does not exist in a person or they have been vaccinated against TB (big mistake), then the tumor will simply encapsulate and become dormant and not harm you. Who died during the Spanish Flu? Mainly the poor who could not afford to buy meat and proper nourishment, and the people who were directly impacted by the bombings and destruction of their homes.
Millions of people suffered fear and death frights during the fighting of WWI, and millions of people all went into healing at the end of it. Not everyone was affected because not everyone suffered the same way.
It’s not a “flu”, it’s not something you “catch”. It’s biological, meaningful, and unavoidable. One hundred years later, a Fear Campaign begins, using the media to spread it......
I agree 100%
Always appreciate the content you put out. Thank you so much!
This conversation is really high-level and dense but still easy to follow. Dr. Gillet is really exact and not too abundant in his answers. Masters!
This podcast is especially useful! Thanks for doctor Kyle for not speaking too fast. was easy for understanding
I am 32 and have been on TRT for the past 4 years. I have become obsessed with researching hormones and how they all work together in the body. I will say this, I’m thinking of switching to this guy as my doctor. I would venture to say he is the most knowledge person in this space.
What's the reason for being on TRT at such a young age if you don't mind me asking?
I was DX with PCOS in my early 20s in the 80s by a very brilliant doctor. Nobody knew what it was. What happens to PCOS after menopause? There is hardly any discussion about it.
I assume since all hormones drop I would assume the T drops go below normal
@@Jdub1005 thanks
About HCG it's now approved as a weight lost treatment, I did it a long ago and as a woman I found it useful with a lot of benefits not just weigh lost. Nice video I will replaying again. God bless you and your team.
Happy Monday ☕ best thing to look forward to every Monday !
Thank you DR!!!! This information will be watched for decades to come and i can't believe the quality for free. Thanks you!!!
I do intermittent fasting almost everyday. My reason: I can not stop eating once I put one piece of any food into my mouth. I literally eat and eat and eat nonstop. And if I resist myself from eating I feel really bad physically, as if something inside my stomach and my abdomen is wrong. And if I do not resist myself from eating (and I don’t, cos I can not resist food) I feel worse and worse with each bite cos I just stuff myself with food nonstop. So whatever I do the end result is horrible. And my anxiety starts to build up. If I intermittent fast until 4-5 p.m. two things happen: physically I feel amazing and the clarity of mind is unbelievable. I’m not hungry at all, I don’t need food at all. I’m full of energy and my anxiety is nonexistent. When I start to eat I don’t stop anymore but cos it’s late in the day I eat much less cos not much time is left in the day. And for some reason I don’t feel physically as bad as if I start to eat earlier, actually most days I don’t really feel bad even though I eat if I start eating late. I’m very slim, I think I categorize for American size zero, 53 years old. So for me - if I want to feel good I need to avoid eating food for as long as possible. Does anyone else have this kind of problem? Once you put a piece of something into your mouth you just eat and eat all the time?
Please tell your doctor. 🙏🏻 Seek professional help for your anxiety. 💙 Take care of yourself. Your life is valuable and irreplaceable.
@@westcoastswingmusic why do you assume I did not seek professional doctor? I’ve been “seeking” their help for all of my life. I was taking antidepressants and some tranquilizers for ten years only to find out that magnesium salts calm my thoughts down much more successfully without being sedated and only to find out that diet cures my depression whereas antidepressants only keep my depression at bay but never cures it. And those were not the only medicine prescribed to me. I was feeling worse and worse every day and needing more and more medical help. I’m off everything now and feeling better than ever. My anxiety only comes back a little bit when I eat wrong food but with the help of tools dr. Huberman provides I overcome it almost instantly.
As for my illnesses- I have never been breastfed and was on superficial milk from day one and for what I’ve learnt that is probably the reason for my illnesses - messed up gut bacteria. And what do professional doctors know about gut bacteria? Zero ☺️
You don’t get real impression of a person from a youtube comment, in real life people are quite shocked about my youthful appearance and athletic figure and overall health. People of my age literally think I’m much younger than them. What I mean to say is that I’m not in a poor condition and struggling from day to day, quite contrary ☺️
I had this same problem for years. Was so much easier to simply eat nothing than to eat something and try and stop. I literally couldn't. I could eat for hours no matter how full I felt. I believe it was triggered by yo yo dieting and food obsession. I think the constant changes in my weight caused my appetite to surge out of control as though I was high all the time with the munches (I wasn't). Looking back I feel it was hormonal imbalance of grehlin and leptin (hunger and satiety hormones). If I could get in my time machine I'd go to an endocrinologist to have this checked out. For me personally though the ONLY thing that got me off this track was to stop absurd restrictive diets that only worked temporarily and then turned me into an eating machine.
I totally love your podcasts! I am an MSN, and a diet,health and nutrition advocate and best-selling author. I also previously worked in a hormone therapy practice and currently offer my own health & hormone fix program. This is some great, fascinating information. Love it and LOVE your podcasts! I really wish I would have studied neurobiology and majored in that area. I can totally GEEK out on this stuff. Thank you!
I would LOVE to hear about your practice! I’m in Omaha, Nebraska and cannot find a doctor or clinic that has a shred of true hormonal knowledge!
Absolutely blown away! So many questions answered AGAIN! thank you for this podcast!!!!
I knowed about your podcast from Rich Roll Podcast. I am sure that as many others in the entire world...(here from Spain) I feel grateful for the existence of your podcast. I am a microbiology scientist and since I started listening your podcast I have learned so many interesting and exiting topica about health, mind and wellbeing. I really want to THANK YOU for your time, enthusiam, effort and dedication in that amazing podcast. Please, keep doing it!!!! All the best wishes
Amazing back and forth between these two amazingly smart guys. Admittedly the majority of which was way over my head, but I did get some good take a ways from this session.
Dear Andrew please consider making an episode on andropause. I'm 55 and surely me other men my age could benefit from the updated and comprehensive information you so generously provide. Mainly information on body changes and tips and ways to compenate or alleviate the unavoidable effects of age.
Please invite Dr. Lara Briden onto the podcast to go in-depth into women-specific hormone research results.
I agree - Dr Briden is a brilliant source of all things hormones for women, especially in regard to menopause. There was definitely a male dominance to the information in this podcast.
This channel and all of these conversations represent the best of what UA-cam can be and is currently. Imagine if such clear, high-quality information could be more mainstream and taken in by more people...so much improvement to our free-falling health and lifestyles and the USA and elsewhere.
This is one of the most informative and memorable podcasts ever. Thank you Andrew and Kyle for what you do! The recommendation from doctors to drink wine is terribly flawed though, even though it supposedly has research to back it up. Drinking alcohol is BAD for you. Case closed. I wish doctors would stop saying otherwise.
Research and doctors say a little alcohol is good. But Kristin here knows better. Because reasons. Case closed.
@@jesperburns Alcoholics do not need to hear how good wine is for health. It doesn't help. Show some understanding.
@@jimwexell14 Right, let's censor ourselves and hide the truth because somewhere in the world, some people can't deal with facts.
Exemplary reasoning.
Sun is good for you.
"Oh but some people have skin cancer"
like listening to two Jazz musicians who have been playing all their lives and I'm thinking about giving up my guitar lessons LOL, but then that passes and you're truly inspired thanks gents
Can you give a shift working nurse some advice on how to “optimise my hormones”? Shift work is known to interfere with our sleep patterns and hormones. Sometimes the only choice nurses have is to leave the profession to have some kind of control over the lifestyle factors, like good sleep hygiene habits of going to bed at the same time and waking at the same time. We often don’t have control over meal times etc.
He did kind of covered some about that subject during the first month of his podcasts talking about sleep. You might find some ideas of how to try to counterbalance (at least in part ) your schedule with a few tweaks here and there.
He also had another podcast about sleep 8 month ago with Dr Matthew Walker and they also discussed a little about the same subject
ua-cam.com/video/gbQFSMayJxk/v-deo.html
Just today Mike Mutzel released a video that talks about saunas and their benefits for emergency personnel and shift workers

I got to stop saying, best podcast to date! They just keep getting better. He is Derek's MPMD's grand father of knowledge.
The information on turmeric is absolutely new and a shocker to me, being an Indian.
Agree; I use whole turmeric root and freshly ground pepper every day for the health benefits and flavor. Hopefully the negative effects are limited to supplements, not the whole food version.
Oh same here. Use tumeric for all sorts. Food first and foremost. Also use it, when I have a cough and apply to cuts. Hopefully, usage such as this doesn't have too much of a negative impact on the body and DHT levels.🤔
A dedicated/more detailed episode on PCOS please. Thank you so much.🙏💚
Andrew thanks for this - I haven't seen much info on this very important topic. All the best to you and your family.
My brain got overwhelmed. A lot of great information here, and I'll be definitely researching it. I have PCOS and I thought once a partial hysterectomy was done, that I didn't have to worry. Wrong.... still dealing with it years later. Thank you so much for putting this out here. I will be watching in increments.
Thank you! I will be watching this a few times to try to take it all in. As a suggestion for another guest Dr Stacey T Sim's work optimising athletic training around the menstrual cycle is fascinating. I would love to hear that conversation!
Perfect timing.
I woke up this morning and felt like my hormones were unoptomized.
My favourite source for health related information, I've learned so much in the past year that I would have never learned, my life has improved so much!!
One thing that confused me a little, the doctor said that DHT inhibitors like finasteride are good for Heart health and prostate health, but Hiberman kept insisting on the negative effects of it and turmeric, like he interpreted what the doctor said as negative..
. I’ve been taking finasteride for almost months and it would be very useful to get more insights on how to keep optimal libido while taking oral finasteride.
Injecting finasteride locally seems like too much hustle
Thanks Andrew Huberman. for providing such useful and evidance based scientific knowledge at zero Cost. I am extremely thankful to you.
Thanks for another episode! Would love an interview with Ian McGilchrist sometime, both of his books are a captivating bridge between neuroscience and philosophy
I’ve had elevated prolactin levels with otherwise normal labs. Will be following up for possible prolactinoma thanks to this pod
I wish you would have asked about taking DHEA for females over 50 to combat menopause
People like you two are a gifts.
I feel this conversation was a between doctors discussion more than catering the answers towards public understanding. All that wealth of knowledge was too heavy to digest even though Andrew has been pushing constantly for practical examples and notions clarifications.
Thank you nevertheless for this amazing channel with free access to medical science.
That is what was exceptionnal about this episode
@@yanisbarillon3597 Good for you.
I am fascinated with Dr. Gillet´s knowledge and simplicity.
I admire his holistic approach- mind, body & soul- certainly a highlight in preventive health care.
It is amazing to have the opportunity to learn directly from such dedicated scientists.
Thanks for this great episode!
Appreciate all the information you share. Always on point. Thank you so much. 💪🏻
my favourite podcast on this chanell so far! from various reasons! mr. gillett is very knowledgeable and smart person with very straight and easy going personality. it was very easy and pleasant to watch!
Yes yet it was more deep and complex but still very easy to understand with the complementarity between Dr. Gilett knowledge and Dr. Huberman to help us
Oh my goodness another vitally important episode 👏 Incredible timing
MPB ?
@@Q_QQ_Q what does MPB mean?
@@memastarful male pattern baldness
@@Q_QQ_Q thanks 😊
Discussion on balancing hair loss medications and not reducing DHT in the body was incomplete. Please request we complete that discussion.
I didn’t really understand - if I intermittent fast my growth hormone increases over night and that is good if you are older? Something we aim for? And if I intermittent fast until late afternoon and only then start to eat I still get more growth hormone? And if I eat until I go to sleep does my growth hormone still increase?
Being the third party in this conversation is so incredibly humbling! These two gents are incredibly brilliant but also very humble themselves! Thank you for this content. Doc you ask for video ideas I have one that many people I think would like information about.
I am a firefighter/ paramedic in a relatively large city new DFW. We work 48 hours at a time and are off for 96 ( a fairly common schedule). You have hinted to the negative aspects of shift work. I would be interested in a video of the affects of it on our bodies and ways to mitigate the damage. We wake up typically once but I have had plenty of 24 hour periods where we will not sleep. Unfortunately due to the nature of the work we cannot decrease light levels to reduce the time it would take to fall back asleep when we get back to the station.
In paramedic school they told us about a study that was being conducted on Dallas Fire Rescue about their sleep but haven’t heard results. Thank you again for your channel. It has been monumental in my life.
Are you serious that alcohol is recommended?! That’s absurd
That’s not even close to what he said. At 2:42:00 he says “alcohol significantly increases aromatase, so if you’re very sensitive to estrogen, then you probably shouldn’t even consume the two glasses three times a week.” Should NOT.
Definitely the state of mind affects and determines the physical health, they are undeniable interconnected. No medication can help permanently or long term if you're not on the right path with your soul and mind. I don't push my faith to others too but i strongly recommend anyone to search for the truth and their soul needs. When i was kinda lost and on the wrong path i often abused stimulates to cope with my spiritual hunger. There's so much more than this physical plain and body, actually i belive this is least important and i find myself remembering constantly of "Search for the kingdom of God and the rest will be added to you." and shocks me every time of the accuracy. As a christian healthy woman i enjoy Andrew's talks, informative and therapeutic.
Salute from Europe
@andrewhuberman, again een amazing interview! What I missed is HRT in menopausal women. Could you talk about that too, please?
At times I don’t know how you two kept a straight face 😆 I was laughing out loud here especially when Dr.Gillet tried not to laugh at at Dr. H’s deadpan deliveries . It made the content much more interesting and kept me better focused for the long periods when I didn’t understand all the technical language. A lot of it made it through through and I had a good time as well. Thank you for making this information available to the public !
I’ve been trying to understand the purpose and neuroscience behind menopausal hot flashes - no good info to be found. Could you address this at some point?
Recommendation for future episode: the Science of taking rests. I always wondered on the effects of taking one day completely off per week. Like in the Bible it says, that on the seventh day one should rest and like that, it is part of many cultures.
I mean, one could otherwise be just productive always 7 days straight.
I know this was mentioned at the optimizing performance episode, but not in-depth / mechanistically.
Best, a very grateful listener :-)
Love Dr. Gillett and love this podcast!
