Dr. Kyle Gillett: How to Optimize Your Hormones for Health & Vitality
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 чер 2024
- My guest is Dr. Kyle Gillett, MD, a dual board-certified physician in family medicine and obesity medicine and an expert in optimizing hormone levels to improve overall health and well-being in both men and women. We discuss how to improve hormones using behavioral, nutritional, and exercise-based tools and safely and rationally approach supplementation and hormone therapies. We discuss testosterone and estrogen and how those hormones relate to fertility, mood, aging, relationships, disease pathologies, thyroid hormone, growth hormone, prolactin, dopamine and peptides that impact physical and mental health and vitality across the lifespan. The episode is rich with scientific mechanisms and tools for people to consider.

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 .
These past two podcasts are out of this world !!! Thank you so much, such a unique a quality source of information
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 🙏
🥳
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.
@@dawnkeckley7502 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.
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!!
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.
We need an episode on hair loss!!
Embrace it . Dont be insecure
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 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.
Always appreciate the content you put out. Thank you so much!
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!
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
Thank you very much. These podcasts are incredible.
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......
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
Absolutely blown away! So many questions answered AGAIN! thank you for this podcast!!!!
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.
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!!!! This information will be watched for decades to come and i can't believe the quality for free. Thanks you!!!
Dr. Gillett: The best hormone advice a man can get
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 😊
Andrew thanks for this - I haven't seen much info on this very important topic. All the best to you and your family.
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.
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 podcast is especially useful! Thanks for doctor Kyle for not speaking too fast. was easy for understanding
Appreciate all the information you share. Always on point. Thank you so much. 💪🏻
This is one of my favourite episode! Thank you both for all the information and knowledge. I was struggling a bit about how to integrade all aspects into my daily routine but now I just take notes from your podcast and integrate gradually one or two tools 🤗🤗! It makes me feeling happier
I’ve been waiting for this one! Very much enjoyed your IGLive together, many thanks for making a full podcast :)
Dr Huberman, thanks for everything you do. Any plans for an episode on gut-brain connection in the context of IBS?
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?
Thanks for this long segment full of great content. You ask so many thoughtful and appropriate questions covering different scenarios. Your generosity of time and spirit in bringing science to the masses is very much appreciated.
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.
Love Dr. Gillett and love this podcast!
Happy Monday ☕ best thing to look forward to every Monday !
People like you two are a gifts.
You content is GOLD mr. Huberman! Thank you 🙌🙌🙌
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.
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. 😊🙏🏼🌺😊🌺😊🙏🏼
How are you doing there? I have seen some things online hope you are ok.
Praying for all of you!
@@NA-tj8ho thank you… hope it will close the loop this time. 😊🙏🏼
@@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..

Yours is my favorite podcast & of your many stellar interviews this is by far my personal favorite! How do your interviews keep getting better?!!! Rock on Dr. H!!!!
I love learning from you and your guests. Thanks Dr. Huberman!
such amazing content! thanks so much for your service
Thank you so much for covering PCOS! Such a common hormonal issue, but with so much misinformation & pseudoscience spread about it
Dr. Gillett has an absolutely vast and enormous knowlege of endocrinology, nutrition, and supplements!
Thank you Dr. Huberman, team, sponsors and supporters!☀️

Thank you for the Amazing interview!!!
The information is very much validation to my life style 🙏🎊 thank you!! Thankful to you @Andrew ❤
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 like the care that you take to enunciate each word when you present your podcasts.
Dr. G. indeed IS a living encyclopedia, and what a kind human being. Thank you
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....
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!
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!
Every episode minimum 2 times thank you so much
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.
💯
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🙏🙏🙏
Thank you Andrew and Kyle for being amazing human beings. You guys are heros to me and many others.
This one is PHENOMENAL! Much thanks as always!
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!
Oh my goodness another vitally important episode 👏 Incredible timing

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.
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.

I waited so long time for the class about harmones... Kyle is great in explaining this subject to normal people...saying from my heart that I loved this session...
Amazing as always! Thank you Professor ❤️
Perfect timing.
I woke up this morning and felt like my hormones were unoptomized.
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.
That was a tremendously informative 3 hours - thank you! Dr G has to be the cutest, smartest guy I’ve seen and listened to in a very long time.
This man is an inspiration!! More of Dr. Gillett please!!
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.
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
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.
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!!
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 🥰👏
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.🤔
Andrew, great interview. I think it’s the first time I had to take notes for one of your shows - such a wealth of information that moved along effortlessly. 🙏thank you for continuing all your hard work.
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❤
@andrewhuberman, again een amazing interview! What I missed is HRT in menopausal women. Could you talk about that too, please?
I wish you would have asked about taking DHEA for females over 50 to combat menopause
Thank you so much, Dr. Huberman! Can't wait to see you on May 17th!
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.
I like this man a lot. He emphasises the importance of spiritual health. It’s difficult to find medical practitioners who do.
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.

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......
I agree 100%
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?
Still listening but I have to say this is the most comprehensive Endo discussion thus far on Huberman lab…def sharing-thank you!
Happy Monday! So excited to listen to this! 🖤🖤🖤
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
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. (Sorry, I tried to link to the articles but UA-cam won’t let me post links)
And another one that'll I'll be listening to, time and again. Thank you very much!
A newish listener to you podcast and really enjoy it! And have recommended it to others. Thank you for what you do.
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?
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.

Thank you Superman Andrew for asking all the questions & providing all the details, Dr. Gillett. What a incredibly helpful informations..!!
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!
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 wish you would have spoke about birth Control pills and their affect on hormones and general health, please take it on consideration professor, also i wish you speak more about women and their health, I would love to understand my feyonce more and help her get through things in her life
Birth control makes everything about my understanding of hormones so confusing!!!! Grrrr
I like how he touches on spiritual health. If for sure will effect mental and physical health in my opinion.
Thank you so much Dr. Huberman, such a great interview! And thank you so much Dr.Gillet for sharing your vast knowledge. I learned a lot, and I can't wait to learn more from both of you. May you both have great health and a wonderful life ❤🙏😊
