Dr. Gary Steinberg: How to Improve Brain Health & Offset Neurodegeneration
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 чер 2024
- In this episode, my guest is Dr. Gary Steinberg, MD, PhD, a neurosurgeon and a professor of neurosciences, neurosurgery, and neurology at Stanford University School of Medicine. We discuss brain health and brain injuries, including concussion, traumatic brain injury (TBI), stroke, aneurysm, and transient ischemic attacks (TIA). We discuss key and lesser-known risk factors for brain health and explain how certain treatments and medications can improve brain health and cognitive function.
We also cover novel mechanisms to improve recovery after concussions and brain injury, including the use of stem cells, temperature (mild hypothermia), and vagus nerve stimulation. Dr. Steinberg also describes new advances in neurosurgery and minimally invasive brain augmentation.
This episode ought to be of interest to anyone seeking actionable tools to improve their brain health and for those seeking to improve recovery after a brain injury such as concussion, stroke, aneurysm, or TBI.
Thank you to our sponsors

Thank you for watching. If you enjoyed this topic and episode, please click the "like" button and subscribe to our channel here on UA-cam. Thank you for your interest in science!
thanks huberman ,you made great and valuable vid about exercise and its benefits for brain mental health
my favorite topic brain and exercise effects on it and stress plz make more on it and on religion and GOD , i m from asia pakistan
In 2002 at the age of 17 I had a grand mal seizure. My mom called Dr. Steinberg’s office crying after getting 2 different opinions. Even though his schedule was full, he found a way to get me in his schedule. He diagnosed me with an arterial venous malformation that caused a vein to leak blood in my brain. He performed surgery on me in October of 2002 and today I’m fully healthy .
Dr. Steinberg,
I wanted to let you know that I’m now 38, I have had a life filled of love, great relationships and memories because of your work.
I was lifting weights before work when I saw your podcast with Dr. Huberman on my UA-cam feed, it gave me chills.
With love, admiration, and respect, I thank you with all my heart and brain for saving my quality of life. Christ be with you my friend.
Dave Purpura
Always happy to see stories like this. I have an AVM that I got to know about and burst last year this time. It’s been embolised and we will wait another year to see if a surgery is needed.
Wonderful post
Wow, truly beautiful comment... we must appreciate those who dedicate themselves to bettering our health.
Andrew, can you make a video about skin health
Yesssss
must
Yes 🌿🙋♀️
ua-cam.com/video/n9IxomBusuw/v-deo.htmlsi=B2alRw9kwLI25k3j
I'm starting to wonder if there is a circadian aspect of skin health. I notice sometimes that if I wake up unusually early or get a very poor night's sleep my skin can feel uncomfortable, it would be cool to see if there is much information about that out there.
I’m so happy to see that you have Dr Steinberg he is my neurosurgeon that looks over me. I have Moyamoya. He saved my life! He is the best.😊
Three weeks ago my 14 yr old daughter had an aneurysm burst inside of an AVMin her left frontal lobe. Over the course of 4 days, she had 4 brain surgeries to save her life. One week after the first surgery, she was sent home to recover. Her recovery has been miraculous - in the words of her own doctor. She's still got a ways to go to get her speech and language back but she's doing great and her attitude is that of a warrior (with a smile). She had half a head of hair when she left the hospital and decided to go full buzz cut. We donated 14 inches of her gorgeous hair to a local charity that makes FREE wigs for patients with medical hair loss. When all of this began, you were the first person I wanted to call to see if you knew anything about this... and then you release this (thank you). Reading the comments below of people who have survived similar situations is helping me to get through this. She hardly remembers any of the past few weeks while every second of it is a vivid memory for me. I'll be going back to your PTSD episodes to figure out the help I need to get through this as her mom. Thank you, and Dr. Steinberg, for this episode and for all of the comments below. I'm beyond thankful to the medical team here on Long Island at Cohen's Children's Medical Center and LIJ (Dr. Mark Mittler and Dr. Henry Woo and Dr. Thomas Link) who saved my child.
I read Dr. Steinberg is 71 years old, he looks incredibly good. Good for him!
Wow Andrew, you literally saved a loved ones Dad from being taken off life support with knowledge from your science community. I love the epic work you are doing.
The episodes on brain health are my favorite! So much has yet to be revealed about the brain; its study provides endless fascination. On a related note, I had a neuron working for me once. I fired him.
good one😂
Firing neurons could be a thing.......😎
thx
Would love to see more on TBI, particularly longer term issues, from brain fog/nausea/exercise intolerance up to CTE
I’m a chiropractor and agree with what the professors are saying be careful with getting your neck aggressively adjusted just ask your chiropractor to not do any twisting cracking adjustments and stick to soft tissue work please and thankyou!
My chiropractor does just that soft tissue work he actually trained as an MD I feel very lucky I am a victim of a very bad neck adjustment that has never resolved completely turns out I have a congenital Fusion
I’m a speech therapist in the medical setting. This episode is very relevant to most of my patients. Thank you
I bet there’s someone who sits down after a long day of work and just stares at huberman’s videos at normal speed. No food, no other entertainment.
That’s actually me lol.
A lot of us.
It's me.
Y’all afford food out here? 🤔
What else we gonna do
Please have Bessel Van Der Kolk, the author of “The Body Keeps The Score” on your podcast. I would greatly appreciate it.
If you're interested, he was on another one of my favorite podcasts recently, Modern Wisdom (Chris Williamson). The episode came out yesterday, Thursday 5/23
I need this. Thank you a million times over.
Phenomenal episode, you have to bring him back on. really interesting to understand mild hypothermia procedure and protocol, never knew that.
Thank you so much for providing this public service, it's literally changed my life and I recommend it to everyone I know. Would you ever consider making an episode on weening off SSRI's/SNRI's/other psych meds? It's rough.
And how these impact the brain, especially after having a TBI.
I was part of the SB623 clinical trial and had some recovery.
Guest Suggestion:
1- John Joseph Hopfield( other than his great scientific contributions, the routine he follows that keeps him mentally sharp in his 90s),
2- Michael Levin
Thanks for the great podcast!
One of my favorite guests for sure. Thank you Dr. Steinberg!
What an honor to listen to you and Dr. Steinberg talking about brain science. In 2014, Dr Steinberg saved me by removing a difficult brain tumor on my optical nerve. His expertise allowed me to have a productive life. It was a wonderful surprise to see him interviewed by you.
I like the information so far. I have a longtime neurological finger issues with both hands called slow channel disorder which only affects my fingers and there is no known treatment or advancement since I’ve had this brain issue since the 80’s. I am a pianist which is ironic that I can’t move my fingers. I can’t perform live because of it. This led me to understand neuroscience and brain health and the communication between our brain , muscles, nerves. Thank you Andrew for the vast wealth of useful information and helping us understand more about all areas of health and introduce us to these fine professionals in health!
Great episodes every single time! My husband showed me your podcast like a year ago and I've been listening to all the episodes. It helped us a lot to improve our lives. Now we even launched our own podcast trying to spread the good things to everyone. Thank you, Huberman!
Thank goodness for the new technology on the 21st Century. And thanks to all these wonderful surgeons, scientists, and pioneer doctors to lead the way for a better understanding of the human brain and biology.
Please can you do a podcast on cholesterol and risk of heart disease. Levels and several other Dr say research show LDL alone is not enough to assess risk. It’s density that really matters. Research also shows while statins will reduce LDL it does t reduce risk of death in women. Given the increased risks of diabetes and cognitive decline associated with statin the pro’s con’s should better better understood. Thank you.
Peter Atillla has some excellent podcasts on this subject.
Peter Attia's book, Outlive, is a fascinating read.
My favorite books on Cholesterin and Heart Disease are by Dr Anseem Malhotra and Dr Malcom Kendrick
Im confused myself.... many doctors on this podcast even have said that dietary cholesterol does not have a big effect on body cholesterol. But this guy just said diet and statins can decrease cholesterol.
@@cmo5807
Consuming cholesterol does very little to mice the cholesterol numbers. Causing inflammation with sugar and seed oils does raise cholesterol.
Statins lower cholesterol.
Hello, Professor! Tons of love! Would it be a good idea to make a video on legs strength, running, ankle pain?
¡Hola Profe!Fascinating and vital conversation.Thank You for Your hard work and care for all of us.
For me one of your best episodes Dr Steinberg thank you for shared your work dedication and results
Another brilliant interview with neuro surgeon. God bless your work Dr Huberman. Keep on with your ads.. I find them very interesting. I started to take athletic greens with my family and very satisfied with the results.
Great guest and podcast. It's great to give so much information for those who have had stroke and other injuries to their brain.
The most important topic for me was , the information on the injury from chiropractor neck manipulation injury.
Years ago I used to go to chiropractor and the neck manipulation was what I dreamed most . He used to ask me questions to distract me so I stayed relaxed during neck manipulation. If I ever go again, I will not allow that neck procedure . Thank you for that information .
A great guest and a superb episode.
I usually click the like button before I listen to the whole episode. I am not sure if this helps with reach, but I do it anyway.
If I have anything to add, I do so after a listen and taking notes. Once a student, always a student, I guess?
Same here!! Enjoy
Dr. Steinberg's insights into brain health are enlightening, emphasizing the critical role of lifestyle choices in neurological wellness. Regular check-ups and proactive health management can significantly enhance brain function and prevent degeneration 🧠.
I had a brain bleed so heavy that it nearly took me out. I was only 24 when it happened - was born with an AVM malformation that burst due to stress.
I went thru surgery like explained in this podcast. with that catheter up from the knee (rather than groin) into the brain- the neurosurgeons saved my life! they did have to drill into my skull to leak the excessive bleeding, but the scar on my scalp is minor.
Unfortunately I was left with chronic pain from nerve damage but hey, am eternally grateful to still be around.
Team SCIENCE 😍
I was blown away to hear that it is now possible to perform surgery on the brainstem. Blew my mind. Dr Steinberg's passion and drive are deeply inspiring. Thank you!
I really enjoyed the episode about peptides! I’d love to see one about nootropics. Keep up the outstanding work Dr Huberman! You are a huge part of many of our lives! 💕 I always appreciate your knowledge and accessible way of explaining -a huge fan!
Excellent, thank you both
Great content! Excellent presenters 🙏
TBI from multiple car accidents and injuries and intense physical abuse! The information presented so graciously here gives me hope to keep on keeping on! Namaste 🙏
Thank you to both for another great educational session.
Another amazing guest!
Eye opening episode. Thank you 🙏 got to make some changes
Amazing work- thank you for sharing
Thank you for this podcast Dr. Huberman❤
So incredibly informative. Thank you so much 🙏
Always Informative & Interesting. Thanks.
I believe “inversions”, “hanging down”, “handstands” and all the yoga practices that puts the brain below the heart level increasing the blood flow to it, need a lot more research to see if there is some long term benefits and downsides in adopting those practices daily/weekly and if there is some sweet spot in time duration.
I’m baffled nobody is actively researching them.
Thank You, Huberman. Your story shows the importance of looking for second opinions.
perfect! thanks!
Thanks for this episode but I was really hoping for more practical things I could do at home.
Me too! Usually they recommend protocols you can follow. Yes it is was interesting but not that helpful…
Fascinating conversation! Thanks for putting all this effort in delivering such high quality content!
I always love this podcast! 😍 Also great to have the opportunity to listen to Dr Steinberg!
Fantastic yet again Andrew thank you. A video about fascia throughout the body would be amazing ❤🎉
Andrew, thank you for this. I would like to request video about recovering from Long Covid.
Yes! I’ve had long covid for 2.5 years. Would love a podcast on this!
I loved this video as a young female that has had 2 strokes I wish they would take most of the research that has been done and put it to use.
really interesting topic, thanks a lot!
This episode and information is fascinating- his experiences as a neurosurgeon and the future of the field is just incredible. Thank you 😊Loving science again as a result of your podcast
Great episode. Maybe the subject itself was fascinating but Dr. Gary seemed extremely passionate and knowledgeable. Before I knew it I finished the whole episode. Couldn’t get enough of his wisdom.
Ty❤
Very interesting discussion, thank you.
Much Gratitude!
...at age 18 i was in a bad car crash, black ice, first storm of the year & after the freezing ran stopped, 2 ft snow fell..they closed the highway it was so bad. But, at 10:30 PM..my step mum called & said if i didn't leave my girlfriends house & get home immediately, not to bother coming home again. Well..we tried, but didn't make it. Car was flattened like a pancake when it slid uncontrollably downhill & hit a natural stone wall causing it to roll a few times...& my neck & back were broken in 3 places. Got out of the wheelchair & Healed that with sheer determination..but..even though it's an invisible injury, i still feel the TBI, daily. Double vision if i get the slightest bit tired, absentee seizures, entire right side occasionally spazing up, etc...i won't take drugs & nothing the Drs around here have tried has helped...so..i'm hoping maybe..you guys will hit on something that helps :)
Dude, crazy story. Glad you ended up ok! I can imagine the guilt your stepmom had after that
Oh man i feel for you. It does feel like a invisible injury. I have the same responses(? idk if thats the right word), but i try and eat well, sleep well and take brain breaks (do nothing etc). And maybe try microdosing and keeping happy :)
@@mushroomthump Truth be told...i could write a book that Stephen King would envy. Her? Guilt?..nope...dad, yes & i hated that cos it was not his fault..freak storm hit us early, is nobody's fault...but step mum was diagnosed a raging Psychotic Narc. she felt Nothing, zero empathy. Except anger that i was unable to work for several months, she liked that extra paycheck. Here is an example. Dad & i were walking around the house taking pics of the flowering bushes blooming & actually caught her hiding behind one, literally strangling kittens with her bare hands. Not kidding. my first thought was take a pic of her doing it. Then i rescued the last kitten. She flew into a rage..anyways..with that pic, things got better for dad & i......for everyone, including the cats, actually.
@@MurphyBirnberg Geez..i'm sorry...Hope those things help you? i eat well..but sleep, forget it..since the accident it's a trainwreck. Always been Polyphasic my whole life, So..i sleep when i can, in the chair or on the bed, wherever it works. Also i go to a Great Chiropractor 3 times a week..he's also a medical Dr. & keeps track of every little change. He recommended 'smoking' even before it became a thing..& also suggested a Morphine drip.
But.the thing is..even though the State legalized it..the Fed has not..so the local police regularly harass/arrest people with the medical prescriptions as if they were street druggies. What actually is Microdosing? i've heard the word..but never any description.. Maybe it's worth looking into i guess? Gonna research it. Thanks! & You be Well, too, ok?
Thank you for this episode, stroke id very important subject that's not covered much, appreciate it.
29:00 TIA can be diagnosed on a dilated eye exam by ophthalmologists by looking at the retina and seeing the offender located in the artery. I have seen brilliant small cholesterol particules stuck in the small retinal artery. Sometimes many are seen! I then send the patient for neurological consult. Carotid US and other tests are then initiated by me or the neurologist. Ophthalmologist here. I'm super happy with this topic. Thanks Andrew!
I did coil 2018 for Anarysm and taking Aspirin for life This episode will be very helpful for me I was looking episode like this
Any possibility of an episode on emergency medicine and practices?
Wonderful episode. Having watched almost every podcast published in the last 2 years i would like to say: thank you Andrew for enriching our lives with educated knowledge that is very applicable to everyday life. I feel blessed to have discovered your channel.
As en episode suggestion If I may: skin health or skin abnormalities and how to approach them - would be a very interesting topic to explore through yours and your guests expertise.
Again, thank you for everything you've done so far.
Especially since so many dermatologists who can't diagnose us say we need a psychiatrist as an insult
Hey Andrew great episode as always! Given we are coming close to summer/already in it, I would love for the skin episode to be released soon :) I understand there are probably constraints, but every Monday the skin care episode along with the IBS episode are the ones I am most hoping are released. Thanks again!
Very informative video and a very knowledgeable and lovely guest. Thanks
This might sound strange but I see a great deal of resemblance between Dr. Steinberg and the late mythology expert “ Dr. Joseph Campbell”.
I am very interested about the brain's ability to handle prions and similar folded protein nightmare-fuel. As well as any potential connection that might have to neurodegenerative diseases. That being said, this episode was an absolute nerd-out and put me at ease about a great deal of things. Thank you both!
My favorite man on this planet! ♥
It was a Great time that I had listening to you, Doctors ❤❤
It was a really interesting podcast .
Thanks for sharing 🌄💚🍀
Hi Dr Huberman,
Thank you for your vid’s.
Please consider doing a video on sense of direction. Why some people have a good or poor sense of direction, and what can be done to improve it. Thanks
Love the Hubez. Best channel ever.....well one of my favourites anyway ❤
I can truely say this was informative, can't wait to hear and see a podcast more in depth on Cardiovascular dieases.
😇
My mother had an aneurism at age 80 , me and my brother took her quick to Quinta Dor Hospital, in Rio.
When Doctors told us she was going through an embolization ( via catheter from the groin to get to the brain) , we did not know how safe that was.. and gosh we were afraid!
The neurosurgeons saved her life and the best is that she has no sequels from the aneurism embolization..
So we are living in a new world of possibilities. 😍
Thank you!
Brilliant placement for the LMNT ad 💦
It’s hard to get a consistent answer on statins. For every expert stating they are great, there is another that says you shouldn’t take them.
Who says you shouldn’t take them?
@evanwoodard8286
If you haven't noticed (and apparently you haven't), there is still much controversy on the subject of using statins.
I, personally, feel there may be a bit of scientific politics going on with some of these podcasts.
(jmo)
Here, for instance, the fact that statins do have anticoagulant properties was left out of this convo altogether.
But it is a fact ... (anticoagulant) to the extent that anyone with history (as well as, I believe, familial history) of hemorrhagic stroke -should never be prescribed a statin. This IS bc statins do have (mild, I have read) , but nevertheless... anticoagulant properties.
So, in this video...although many other anticoagulant type substances and meds were listed as having anticoagulant properties Statins were completely ommitted from the list.
AND...in fact, the reason statins may be beneficial for anyone with a history of (again, including familial history) of ischemic stroke (a blockage type stroke; not a hemorrhagic type), IS because statins have anticoagulant properties.
And yet...this important data about statins was completely ommitted here in this discussion. (And I DO feel that some integrity was lost, here, in the Statin discussion because this factual data was left unsaid.
WHY🤷?...was this fact about Statins omitted?? Idk...but I do suspect bias, along with perhaps a bit of
politics.
(Jmo)
@@barbarafairbanks4578 They probably didn’t bring it up because this wasn’t a podcast about statins, they only briefly mentioned them. I would assume if Dr. Huberman devoted an entire podcast to that topic it probably would have been brought up.
excited for this one
I am really glad to know such vast information about brain regions, thank you Andrew Huberman and Dr Gary Steinberg 😊
I want to share something if someone knows little bit more information on Spinal Stroke because my sister couldn't walk but she used to. When she was in 7th grade, on a school tour she was fall of from stairs, may be 4 or 5 steps on stairs, and then she started noticing that she can't walk properly and in a year she was completely stopped walking and we have seen lot of doctors but nobody yet find the real cause of a problem. If someone share some information it would be great!
Podcast with VS Ramachandran
loved the caveats that dr gary shared. His insight into bp under 120 was interesting as well.
I thought so, too! I see the same thing in diabetic patients, who feel lousy and hypoglycemic if their blood sugar gets below 90! Team homeostasis!
Great Man #respect
Your work ethics match that of a Billionaires. The consistency you keep is GOLD
Hi Andrew, thanks for the amazing work 🙏❤️ I missed the fishoil and its contribution to strokes, maybe its further in the episode.. Thanks 🤗
An episode on how interacting with animals, living with an animal, having a pet, etc helps your brain would be super cool
WE HAVE BEEN DOING RESTRAINT THERAPY FOR DECADES. rehab therapists, including myself, have done this successfully. You select the patients carefully for compliance and capacity. And prepare them for the frustration and slow improvement. Brains take a while to learn and grow. The more massively damaged and the older/more systemically ill the person is, the less response. Done with young children with CP, we get pretty amazing results.
what is CP
@@Sky10811
Probably. -- cerebral palsy
@@Sky10811 Yes; cerebral palsy. Constraint therapy can change a child's life. Older people can recover from a stroke, but this treatment is rarely anywhere near as effective in someone over 70 as it is in someone under 3.
I’d love it if you could deliver an episode on Tinnitus please…🙏
Still waiting for the SPF episode. Would love to see guests like Glow By Ramon, TheMelaninChemist, Dr. Dray, LabMuffinScience, AvaPerki, that could challenge your views on organic vs inorganic SPFs.
More than enough experts in the field have called out some misinformation you said about SPFs, so I would love to see a discussion on this topic. Maybe a special episode with more than 1 guest.
At 27 I was diagnosed with Paget’s Schroetter Syndrome. Short version is vein got pinched between rib and collar bone in my thoracic outlet from excessive effort in one position (pruning tree limbs with manual pole saw.) When I finally went to hospital, almost 2 weeks later, I immediately got admitted and the clot busting began so I could get a first rib resection. Because I waited so long my entire left arm was filled with clots after the initial pinch point. Vascular surgeon said I was very lucky after delaying treatment, and though I have what he loosely described as “scarring”in my vein, or chronic clotting in the upper extremity, I am essentially back to normal at 32. I take Xarelto daily, visit my vascular surgeon once a year, and mind my arm if it bothers me. Curious how this is will influence my later years though.
This was a fascinating episode. Dr. Steinberg spoke about the benefits of statin (other than its usual primary effect of reducing high LDL) and how he prescribes it to his patients. And surprisingly, my family friend (doc from Cleveland Clinic) had to push my PCP to prescribe me statin even after my PCP diagnosed me with high LDL. At first, no meds needed. And then after having a chat with the Cleveland doc, here you go, statin. I had asked my family friend if they provided any extra medical information to my PCP that I had not provided, and they said, no. I wonder why is there an inconsistency in medical treatment/diagnosis in the USA.
I would love to hear an episode about air quality and its short and long term impacts on full spectrum human experience.
Thank you Andrew huberman!!!!
Professor Andrew thank you so much. I love so much all your podcasts. Your guests are interesting like Dr Gary, Dr Matt, Dr Suzuki. Thank you all. I am commenting from Ethiopia (East Africa). I am a recent subscriber to your podcast. I really enjoyed your podcasts. I have one questions. While I try to do NSDR in my office as you recommend, I sooner will be caught by sleep. What is the reason for this and how can I avoid it.
My blood pressure has always been 90 / 58 so I guess I will never have a stroke even though I had a TBI. I can get my blood pressure to go up sightly by taking cold showers which I always do but it only stays higher for a few hours. I too passed a kidney stone and salt is not my friend so like the doctor, I drink a lot of water to flush out oxalates.
TBI - please, please include horse riding accidents, and so often handling them on the ground means they have mashed my head considerably. Us little, wee girls get the same injuries as big hulking blokes. At 66yo, I'm paying for it now.
microdosing after aTBI saved me - stopped my migranes and got me out of bed - still was a long recovery (about a year) to get my memory, emotions and strength/ energy back.
Dr. Huberman, have you done an episode on MS and how it affects the eyes, peripheral nerves, etc.? I'm interested in learning about the neurological effects Multiple Sclerosis has. I'm also interested in learning if there are other things that have similar neurological impacts but are not MS (mimics, I suppose).
I wish hyperbaric oxygen medicine was discussed for the treatment or prevention of strokes .
We will do an entire episode about hyperbaric chamber
@@hubermanlab perfect, thank you!
Joe Namath perfect example of recovery
Sooooo cool! Literally!
Dr. Huberman, Topics like "Physical Exercise for patients suffering from Vertigo , Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Asthma & Cancer." would benefit many patients Improving their lives.
At the end of the podcast you can hear how much his voice sounds like Tom segura. Great podcast.
my question is how to know if i have bad cholesterol that can lead to blood cloth without doing blood test? I mean any symptoms to tell?
