Anyone else have an akward crush on Huberman? I'm not even a UA-camr listener. I get my lectures via podcast. I appreciate the knowledge he shares with us.
Count me on sister ! Nothing more attractive on a man than an intelligent mind, a wise being, a kind soul, a good sense of humor packed on a nice body with an attractive face and a beautiful smile. And He likes working out, IMF, dogs, carbs and croissants! Yes I do have a big CRUSH on Huberman. I don't know if I have a crush on his brain because of the package or if I have a crush on the package because of the brain. What's not to like ? 😍
Love and appreciate all the information he brings to us, so much knowledge covering many areas of science and linking the information that is around but mostly that do not bring the understanding of the facts. And yes we can not help ourselves, but day dream with him, he embodies the perfect sample of manhood, that we expect to find and see in a man. So let's keeping dreaming and watching his wonderful podcasts. Last but not least, I appreciate the simplicity of the scenario, the absolute no distraction during his presentation, that he focus o the subject and is consistent with every episode. It is not about his image but about his message. And yet we dream....
I truly believe that Professor Andrew Huberman deserves Nobel Prize. Thank you very much for your hard work, dedication, willingness to help and everything you do !
Science shouldn't be mandatory. Allow people to stay stupid, if they want to. P.S. Except the cases, where your health and life may be under risk because of such stupid people.
I can’t believe it’s been 32 episodes already. Every Monday I know it’s time for this amazing podcast and I always find myself looking forward to it. The information you have provided us is tremendously valuable as there hasn’t been such an easy and accessible way to learn all of this before your arrival. Please continue this incredible journey, you are doing God’s work!
We are all so fortunate to have access to the amazing work of Andrew & his team. I have been able to help myself thanks to the work they do. At the 2:00 mark he talks about the opponent process mechanism. In the book Dopamine Nation, Anna Lembke addresses the opponent process theory. Being aware & understanding this process has helped me with being conscious of my desires & feelings. Below is the part of her book that resonated with me & I continually keep it in mind. I think that many people could improve their life if they understood the "tug of war" between pleasure & pain that is battling inside all of us. “Pleasure and pain are co-located. In addition to the discovery of dopamine, neuro-scientists have determined that pleasure and pain are processed in overlapping brain regions, and work via an opponent processing mechanism. Another way to say this is pleasure and pain work like a balance. Imagine our brains contains a balance, a scale with a fulcrum in the centre. When nothing is on the balance it's level with the ground. When we experience pleasure, dopamine is released in our reward pathway and the balance tips to the side of pleasure. The more our balance tips and the faster it tips, the more pleasure we feel. But here's the important thing about the balance. It wants to remain level! that is, in equilibrium. It does not want to be tipped for very long, to one side or another. Hence, everytime the balance tips towards pleasure, powerful self-regulating mechanisms kick into action to bring it level again. These self-regulating mechanisms do not require conscious thought or an act of will, they just happen like a reflex.” ― Anna Lembke, Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence I suffer from PTSD due to childhood trauma & have suffered from panic attacks, night eating, sleep terror etc since childhood. I didn't address my issues until 40 years later for several reasons but unknowingly took steps to treat myself like maintaining regular physical activity, supplements, journalling etc. None of this helped but kept me functional without meds. When I reached out for help the talk therapy didn't help me much & I changed therapists 3 times until I found 1 that I liked. The biggest help for me has been cold water therapy. I've been taking a 1 minute cold shower every day for months & I have experienced some relief. I believe that the relief is due to improving my opponent process mechanism thanks to the cold water. Due to my trauma as a child my opponent process has been messed up badly. Everyday I take action to get it back in balance.
I stumbled upon Ramachandran's TED talk a year before I happened to have a car accident that left me with CRPS in my left leg. I remembered the TED talk and put a dressing mirror between my knees facing my good leg. I had no box or contraption, I just remembered the talk, and the doctors called my recovery remarkable.
I found out about this Podcast two weeks ago, and have already learned so many things which I can use to better my life and daily Routine. Thank you very much Dr. Huberman!! Greetings from Germany
This podcast is all about pleasure! Although, it is painful to think that it ends so fast. Thank you Dr. Huberman. You enlighten my life with your voluntary and engaging knowledge sharing. I regularly recommend your UA-cam channel.
Every Monday begins with the Huberman Lab podcast, followed by phone calls to both of my college age children. They're going to reap the benefits of my healthy neuroscience obsession whether they like it or not.
@@winbalingit8502 Thanks for your kind words! Some of it must be sinking in. My daughter called a couple of days ago with a friend who was having trouble sleeping. You know, of course, what I did....sent the link to Episode 2 :-)
Dr, Huberman First off I would like to thank you for the time you spend educating us for free. This is one aspect that UA-cam should be utilized for. The reason podcasts are becoming so popular, is because people want a voice. When I heard yours, I knew that I could hear the sounds of a man who found connections to things I never could. I have watched most of your podcasts, I am actually going back through them again. There is so much rational and understanding when you talk. The connections you make are undeniably the truth. Your analogies are dead on. Now while I feel as though a lot of people argue with your narrative. It is because of one important thing I want to highlight. Your view on subjective and objective realities, in correlation with pain and suffering. Correct me if I am wrong. A subjective reality is subject to interpretations, by that I mean local and not local. Different from an objective reality that has boundaries, while the boundaries of the objective reality can change the subjective one can move about in throughout the objective realm. Meaning that they are in fact separate. The realm can change or be rewired, or repaved. An analogy that I would use is cars and a road. while subjectively we move about the road, the road has limitations and boundaries, though we can repave the roads and even create ones to expand further. Meanwhile our adventurous interpretations, our view from the window of the car are subject to change. what we see while traveling around on those roads, are affected by what we tell ourselves about the experience. That does not take away from what is actually there. if I Saw bigfoot, there was nobody around to see it but me. Did I actually see bigfoot? Some would argue , "Not until I told someone that I I did." The question I want to know is, If I saw a bear and Told everyone it was bigfoot, Did I really see bigfoot? See our interactions are a direct result of our talk with self, when we come in contact with one another. Pain is an objective thing, we can rewire it and it is subject to change but still a physiological thing that is difficult to measure. Suffering, though similar to pain is too self inflicted by the brain, it is not physiological. I am not arguing that one can affect the other. I am stating that emotional suffering is not physical, it is spiritual. So in order for this to work we have to agree we have a spirit. physical pain has objective boundaries created by the brain. I think it is our neural pathways that change our baseline, altering our interpretations of suffering. Creating two different subjective experiences from the same objective experience. Therefore concluding that they are in fact different. I really wish you would have stood up for this when you had the Sam Harris podcast, I posted a link in the comments. He is the reason that the crooked is being called straight, Check it out if you did not before. It is subjectively truth. Much like a hand and fist is the same in different positions, subjective and objective realities have completely different properties. Though they do connect, we must not confuse one with the other.
I appreciate all of Dr. Huberman’s podcasts, but especially the ones on pain. As a chronic pain patient, I have found many pain doctors who were uninterested and unwilling to try new approaches and who didn’t even look at peer reviewed publications to stay relevant. (and sad to say, that happened to me with some Stanford doctors when I worked at Stanford.) I realize that Dr. Huberman is a professor and not a medical doc, but I say he is a much-needed breath of fresh air!
I really appreciate AH’s artful mastery in this podcast. His orchestration of highly intellectual information, facts is exceptionally lovely especially in his segue from pain into pleasure. Preceded by how he included his warm hearted personal relationship with us, his audience. The listen felt trustworthy, open hearted, poetic, artful, pleasurable!
Thank you for uploading all these amazing videos Dr Andrew Huberman! I've lost count of the amount of things I've learnt from watching all these podcasts! Thank you again!
@@hubermanlab Making our dopamine levels rise throughout the day in anticipation of a new episode : ) Perhaps you should skip a Monday to break up the dopamine schedule!
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 WW1, 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 never fail to be impressed by each guest and the breadth of knowledge possessed by . the wonderful Dr. Huberman. Another amazing and interesting listen.
Drs have no idea what chronic pain is like and therefore minimize and belittle people..too bad they can't experience what we do..maybe they would have more empathy. Thank you Dr. Huberman for providing important info for free
I am learning so much on Mondays and then spend the rest of the week striving to break bad habits and incorporate what I learn from you to create new habits that will be conducive to my wellbeing, while by example encouraging those around me to grow as well. You are very appreciated, loved and respected by those whose lives you are bettering. Thank you!
Thank you for helping people live a better life. I was trying to find some information that could possibly be helpful for my migraine headaches. In this video, you gave me more tools than all the GPs I ever asked (sadly, I am not exaggerating). A large number of people in this world suffer from migraine headaches and nobody cares; we are supposed to work productively and function without slowing down. I hope that science will come up with some great, innovative ideas in the near future. So many issues of the world are in the hands of the scientists... I appreciate you guys so, so much.
Just finished up the last podcast, so this is perfect timing. I love listening to these while I'm working out or driving. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
This is the only podcast that I have no problem listening to the ads because Andrew is so genuine and passionate about bringing this hidden science to the public so we can get better. THANK YOU
So that's why is why I liked real estate when I was in it because so many deals fall through, but when they don't you get a pretty nice reward. It's ultimately not what I wanted to to do forever, but was fun for 5 years. I'm not going to be a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, which I'm so passionate about! You podcast has taught me soooooo much!
I listened to this amazing lecture again. I found the information you provided regarding mosquito, itching etc fascinating because I’m a Floridian who lives by and goes to the beach daily to workout as well as a river close by. I’ve noticed the mosquito have gotten worse and the covert scientist I am found myself researchingthis little monsters who have been eating me ( alive) Very grateful! Also, I had severe pain years ago from a failed fusion ( missing cadaver bone 9 years ago). Tried the Acupuncture in Boca Raton Fl back in the day, omg it was so painful, and I consider myself to have a high pain tolerance. Now after a second fusion with lots titanium in the neck 10 years I’m good to go 💪thanks again, your lectures are improving my life , ten fold!🧜♀️✌️
I, and likely every other person suffering from long term chronic pain, would very much appreciate a conversation with any expert that have devoted a significant amount of time to researching this complicated topic. Thank you for your consideration! I've listened to both of the podcasts that have covered some of this topic, great episodes! - Control Pain & Heal Faster with Your Brain How to Control Your Sense of Pain & Pleasure
It's not a problem that themes and subjects reemerge in the podcast. Science/Life revolves around certain repetitive fundamentals/concepts in everything we experience and repetition allows for the information to sink in. All is splendid information I might add, sir!
Thank you for your contribution to all of us in sharing your extensive knowledge of science, as it relates to our minds and bodies. I have found the podcasts to be not just informative but fascinating. It's like I am attending a college-level class each week without the stress of having to excel and get a good grade. And your subtle humor is a nice touch.
Hello Dr. Huberman. I would like to see an episode on the mechanisms of belief, particularly belief systems like religions, or even placebo groups in various studies, and their relations to neuroscience. Thank you so much for making Mondays a little more enjoyable.
I would like to see an episode on placebo effect, too, as some research shows there are both perceived and measured effects on pain, etc.due to placebos.
This is very insightful. I began acupuncture in 2007 a few years after my husband died. The second session I had a wave of warmth travel through my left leg along with an overwhelming feeling of grief in my leg. I thought I was crazy. Still getting acupuncture and no longer on meds for fibromyalgia, headaches or asthma. Thank you!
In the vein of not raising your baseline dopamine levels, I'm not going to over-congratulate, but simply say this channel is a rare internet gift. That said, the deep respect you have for hypnosis is evident; would you do a cast about hypnosis, self-hypnosis - maybe have an expert on? I feel like it could be a ...deep dive.
Dr Huberman, would you consider doing an episode on that includes information about cataracts. Specifically, they have you wait until cataracts are "bad enough" before offering surgery, but are cataracts blocking adequate light perception to the brain? And then in surgery they use blue-light-blocking lenses, which seems like a really bad idea!. Thanks so much for your valuable work.
We lose about a third of light reaching the retina between the ages of 20 and 60 through reduced transmission of light through ocular media. Cataracts will further affect that so it suggests we may need longer periods of morning light as we age.
Wishing it was Monday to get a new episode? Huberman, you're messing with our dopamine levels!! (and we love it) Still waiting for the episode on addiction but enjoying the ride!!!
i just took a cold shower like Dr. Huberman said and its extraordinary. First 3 sec are mentally hard to resist but then its piece of cake. I allways had first moderate heat showers and after that slowly geting into cold but it doenst really worked. Its much better this way and its very refreshing. Thank you Dr. Huberman for all the free informations. I dont have the time now to watch all the video, only half, but maybe you mention it , its not better to take maybe during summer time when its 35C celsius or hotter outside , hot showers to get used with the heat and maybe from time to time cold showers and vice versra during the winter?
Absolutely incredible! Andrew Huberman Your ability to communicate through education definitely stimulate and motivates one to build on basic principles too maintain one’s health. I am so impressed with what you are doing that I will send the information to the people that I know who need to listen and learn. Thank you,I do appreciate you very much. Margo
With fibromyalgia itchiness seems to be a precursor to the actual pain (mild ghost paper cut sensations progressed to electric shock sensations over time), triggered by even mildly irritating emotional stimuli such as *one* stressful thought. I've found it can greatly be reduced, almost completely gone with introducing protein into every meal, removing all caffeine and added sugars, eating fish at least once a day, as well as including smoothies with protein, flax seeds, hemp seeds, beet & kale. This, and exercising muscle groups especially where the pain is located helps quite a bit (and of course, removing all emotionally distressing situations, e.g. resolving emotional traumas---which is a main influence in maintenance of these new habits). It can be a great motivator to stop ignoring the underlying preexisting conditions of fibro., which may include a high emotional pain threshold. As for the cat experiment--- I'll take my chances with fibro. 🤖😾☠👻 Edit: obviously this is my experience, everyone is different & there are different reasons to have fibromyalgia which is part of the challenge of correctly resolving it. In my opinion it's a symptom of other things, sometimes multiple things, similar to depression or anxiety.
I find your observation about itchiness being the precursor to actual pain very interesting. 10 yrs ago i had a partial hepatectomy as i was a liver donor for my dad. Due to unresolved trauma prior to surgery and suboptimal post op pain managemnt, i developed chronic pain at the op site which took 2 yrs to fully settle. Fast fwd to current day, im in my 40s, pregnant w my 1st child and now in my 26th week. Abt 8 weeks ago, i developed intense itch below the scar area in my abdomen at the right side. It progressed to this burning sensation and then allodynia at the level of T10 to T12. I was subsequently dx with anterior cutaneous nerve entrapmnt syndrome which leaves me w mod to severe pain. Ive had a trunk block and nerve hydrodissection done so far w very fleeting relief. Other modalities of rx is off limits due to my pregnancy. Now im mostly in bed as walking, standing and sitting for short periods intensifies the pain that is otherwise always present. Now tht u mentioned it, i do notice that before i get into severe bouts of pain, i will have intense itch at the affected area and recently, i feel like my whole body will itch as well. Using kinesiotapes on the affected area reduces the tactile allodynia and mitigates the static pain to some small degree. I have 11 weeks more to go. I hope i can bring this pregnncy to term. Its the only viable embryo after multiple ivf cycles. I hope you are doing well. Best wishes frm 🇲🇾🙏🏾.
Hey professor, great episode. Since school is starting soon, can you do an episode about working memory and long term memory. Would love to see your take on it.
Hi Andrew, I just want to say thank you. The information you provided regarding getting morning sunlight has helped me reset my sleeping pattern faster than anything I've tried previously. I'm trying to share the information I get from these podcasts with my family and friends who suffer similar issues. Cheers
Andrew , please do a podcast talking about confidence . What regulates it , how to improve , rebuild , I can’t thank you enough for the work you’ve done on here , it’s been life changing for me . Andrew huberman and Jordan Peterson are the 2 most influential people in my life for the last 10 years
I went to a master Chinese acupuncturist years ago. He rotated the needles rapidly between his fingers to stimulate nerves. For about 24 hours after treatment my pain/ eating response was intensified but after that, the results were really unbelievable. I was cynical with my first experience so it wasn't a case of 'it worked because I wanted it to'. He was not impressed with the methodologies used by western trained acupuncturists who take very short duration courses. A lot of success or failure of treatments, may be rooted in locating needle placement sites and application techniques training that take far more experience and training to master.
My own anecdotal experience, and discussions I've had with a master acupuncturist (who happens to be my best friend!) fully support what you've said. You explain it perfectly.
I love this podcast and channel so much that I find myself in a tricky situation ! I want to recommend it to everyone I know but then at the same time I also don't want to recommend it to anyone because this is such a gold mine and treasure trove of knowledge that I want it all for myself and I feel I would lose the advantage over others if I shared with them ! 😅 But then again, science is all about sharing knowledge so that everyone can benefit from it, so I will definitely be recommending this podcast to my colleagues and friends.
I always command my pain to leave my body and it generally does, from a stubbed toe, to a headache, to extreme painful stuff. The more extreme stuff takes more mental persistence but it fades eventually. Try it, don't give up. You have conscious power over your sense of pain.
@@Alexandra.AI.He talked about that in the ''How and Why to Stretch'' épisode. *My quick synthesis of what is ''pulling a muscle'' (from ly knowledge of that mentionned podcast)* You have ''intra-fusal muscle fibers" (into muscle) containing proprioceptive organs called muscle spindles, sort of suspensions for cars, that contract and extend, permitting elasticity. Their connected to motor neurons, their to asses if too much strain is put onto them, they feel like pain to signal that there's too much strain and that you're gonna ''pull a muscle''. If you don't listen to that, to a certain extent, you're gonna pull that muscle. That's why stretching statically, habituating the intra-fusal muscles fibers to extend much more, is recommended before stretching them dynamically (running) AND not listening to the signals teeling you to STOP.
For the mindset about pushing harder : See David Goggins. (Goggins who doesn't care about hurting himself and his known to have performed incredible feet of human resiliency while injured, i.e finishing to run a marathon with broken ribs, respiratory difficulties and if I remember right, even shitting himself !)
Many thanks for donating your time, energy, and attention without cost! We have a friend who has a ten year old boy suffering from Trigeminal Neuralgia. Are you aware of any other treatment beyond surgery that would help reduce his daily 10/10 pain?
I love this podcast. If you put the episode number at the front of the title it would improve my life greatly, and the lives of those trying to download the files into a small device, like say, a running watch. Even if you don't do this you have still improved my life, so it's all good.
Wowow. Ive lived through various “psychosomatic” pains that were later described as fibromylagia and IBS separately many years later. Through extensive research of myself about 10 years ago, I found that LDN can help elevating the unexplained pain I was experiencing. I had to change 10 doctors and had printed the scientific publications I was referring to before I found a doctor who agreed to prescribe it for me … which helped a lot. Although it was many years after were they told me I had some sort of “nervous breakdown” where somehow I kept my sanity but I was experiencing almost any neural stimulation as pain. They gave me Cymbalta which numbed everything out. Before that not even morphine worked to reduce the extreme levels of pain I was experiencing everywhere. Today very long years after that I am off all meds and the ONLY thing keeping my pain away is daily exercise. Keeping my heart rate above 140-150 at least 20 min a day or 5 times a week for the endorphins to kick in. Thank you Andrew. I love your podcast. Keep being you. 🙏🏻
Still at acupuncture/hypnosis. Have to say these presentations are insightful, comprehensive and awesome! I've been doing a 25 minute hypnosis, Paul Paul McKenna's: ''Change your life in 7 days'', for over 15 years, I use it as a rest/reset finding that if I have the 25 minutes away I come back more refreshed as an uplifting nap, I guess it's like the Yoga Nidra, although I've only tried the latter twice since you were on with Tim Ferriss. I also did the inaugural Coursera `Learning how to learn` course with Barbara Oakely (you mentioned somewhere in the last 5 hours me listening you were at UCSD), so I guess I've had an interest in neuroscience (like, as a _necessary_ distraction for an electronics engineer, but so is Prof. Oakley so there's that). Really enjoying Reveri although having to respond can be a little jarring when the tech ain't working, and being used to/conditioned to zone out for 25 min sometimes I disappear altogether; ''No. Evidently, I'm no longer here Dr Spiegel''. Also it has concerned the kids at home, when dad is just saying 'yes' for no apparent reason from somewhere far far away. **For me really keen on non pharmaceutical but readily available biological and physiological protocols.** Let's just say I like to grow my own; not that I ever have, my neurodiversity is enough of a trip for me. I have a personal anecdote of rubbing up against a clarysage (Salvia Sclarea) bush in the garden when I had a shocker head ache and instantly having all the headache pain go away just from the smelling the stuff in the air (I'm still wondering how it got it's common name) . You mentioned `the legume` covered in itch inducing barbs, with a sweet dopamine bean treat inside. Really enjoying the actionable protocols and the options you're providing; ''We're all different; otherwise I'd have nothing to talk about.'' (TM, that's mine) and Socrates may have said, the real trick is to know thy self. All the best to you, Costello and your crew. ps: yeah at 98 kg (220 lb) I have listened to your weight loss episode, doing cold therapy today by wearing a t-shirt in Southern Australian winter. Since listening, I've also tried inducing as best as I can describe it _ASMR_ like tingles giving myself goose pimples, would be keen know if this is sufficient or is shivering required? as I write this I'm also reminded of reading an article about why cats purr, something to do with only being `active` 2-4 hours a day and requiring it to maintain minimal circulation etc.
@@kilickayamert I listen always at regular speed, at least two times sometimes three. The fist one on Monday, next on Tuesday and last on Wednesday. Two or three times make me ready for an exam :D But to be serious a lot of info to absorb so two times is necessary for me to get it all.
Every episode I learn something new. It's so amazing. Thanks for explaining everything slowly and repeating yourself for us civilians ☺️ Best from Germany.
Dr. Huberman thank you for your podcast. I have been listening to you at work and it has been incredible. Also Jenkem magazine and Karl Watson brought me here! Hooray for skateboarding! Im in my mid-40's and continue to skateboard. Fountain of Youth for sure. I've stayed young and my mind feels young because of it. Also please get on the Nine Club and talk to Crob and Rog and Kelly about their sleep habits. I get the feeling they need some help and rest! Thank you for you Andrew.
1:36:10 This doesn't only help with pain. It also provides relief when tired. It feels so nice when I rub my face, especially the areas around my eyes and forehead, when I'm tired.
Andrew, your knowledge is changing my life. THANK YOU! ❤️ I'd love to listen to you talking about aging (how to delay it and revert it) and skin, please. 🙏🏼
Thank you Dr. H. I just can’t enough of the science of Dopamine so don’t worry about repeating info. I love learning why we do the things we do. I get much pleasure ( but not too much. Per your warning 🙂) in knowing I haven’t missed an episode since inception. Keep going my friend!
Hello beautiful lady from the other side.. You can call me Nani, that's my Nick name. Something negative stamped on my mind and I'm so ready to let it go before discovering this channel this morning,,. I'm from Africa and things are not even down in the rightfull manner down here,, wanna get some tips and advice from you about life and wanna,, make friends here with good people too.. Hope you stay safe 💯💯💯
So informative and digestible as always. Any comment about the quality of content and my takeaways have been thrown out the window based on the following epic one liners: “Broad strokes, no pun intended… talking about pleasure”🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀 AND You describing your nieces joy seeing her friends and not wanting to dilute the purity of the experience with “neurobiological reductionism” You bringing your depth of neurobiology mixed with real life, the beauty of the human experience is what makes this podcast exceptional, in my opinion. ❤️
Who would've thought dopamine's role in the nervous system could be so complex! Sort of related to dopamine, I would love if you covered ADHD/ADD in a future episode :)
Thanks for the amazing content Dr Huberman. YT is definitely a better "place" since you launched your podcast. I have a question about NAD IV drips (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide). Are they really beneficial?
Dr. Huberman, it would be great if you could make a separate short video about the dopamine and maximizing motivation, similar to the one on Instagram so that we could share it on other platforms, too! It is a game changer!
A few episodes back you mentioned size or growth od the ears to be a predictor of how fast you age or something like that - you said you will talk about that later and then never came back to that. I just wanted to remind you 😁
Yes, I've always had large ears even as a boy. Surely it's the growth from your starting adult size ear to where you are now that counts? Not just the size itself. I have a head like the F.A.Cup 🏆. Am I doomed?
"It is however, part of my desire and effort to bring zero cost-to-consumer information about science and science-related tools to the general public." My man nails it every time. Same flow. Same pitch.
Just recently discovered your podcast and love that you're explaining the science bebind how the body works. A request-- if you do video on fascia, please address plantar fasciitis. Thank you!
Wonderful info...questions it raised for me: 1. Do those who experience a lower pain threshold also experience a higher pleasure intensity? 2. What about pain that is experienced as pleasurable? What is going on with that? 3. Any studies verifying that psychological pain perception mirrors physical pain perception in individuals relative to personal pain thresholds? 4. ADHD and rejection sensitive dysphoria (real? known?), association between depression/schizoprenia/Borderline, etc. and pain thresholds? Anything measurable? Sincerely appreciate your decision and follow through to share as you do.
Hi Dr. Huberman, thanks for your dedication and great work sharing so much information! I have a couple of questions about this subject: If there’s no objective way to measure pain, also it can be relative (for all the factors you’ve mentioned) when Drs. ask: “in a scale of 0 to 10, how would you rate your pain?”. Why science can’t evaluate this things with specific devices (with a certain frequency) that could cause sensations like heat, cold, pinch (or pressure simulators), even electric stimulation (if the individual to improve the treatment) in order to help patients to “express” it in a way that the doctors could understand better (in a general sense)? How if they answer a survey (to evaluate the factors that increase or not pain) and this device could track the neurological response in a X frequency for exemple, could they use the same X to get the scales of pain answered?
protocol for separation anxiety/distress: lots of self-hugs D': how ironic it is that if we're in the middle of a breakup, we can't think about the loved one because it hurts *freaking more
Hi Andrew! Greetings from Russia, Komsomolsk-on-Amur! Thank you for your podcast, it's a valuable source of knowledge for me. Could you please consider doing an episode about joints (in particular, knee joints)? How to keep them healthy when strength training or bicycling? Thanks. You do a great job!
Hi Dr Huberman is there any data on the covid vaccines and how they work on a neuroscienctif level? Can't get enough of the podcast. Thank you for so much useful information!!!!!!
The man who has anticipated the coming of troubles takes away their power when they arrive. - Epictetus Huberman: only if the man anticipated it 20 to 40 seconds prior to their coming.
Addind precision onto ancestral knowledge, tested and veted by science, Epictetus would (I think) have appreciated that ! The philosophers of ancien times sort of were scientists, with less tools available to examine the body, they just choose to be researchers of the mind !
Hey :) That's all very interesting ! I now understand that I've got a very high pain threshold. I've had a testicular torsion in my life (and lost a testicle by being stupid about it) and did not get help before three days because the pain was very tolerable to me. For those who don't know, it basically means that the blood supply to my testicle got stopped by a knot in the artery/tissues there, and it was painful and actually started rotting because it took so long for me to get help. Every doctor I talked to said this kind of pain is unbearable, which was counter to my experience. I sometimes want to have a kidney stone just in order to compare and see what's really the most painful thing a human can experience. Just the fact that I'm willing to experience such a pain out of curiosity may indicate how non-affected I am by pain in general 🤔
Anyone else have an akward crush on Huberman? I'm not even a UA-camr listener. I get my lectures via podcast. I appreciate the knowledge he shares with us.
You are not alone sister!
Count me on sister !
Nothing more attractive on a man than an intelligent mind, a wise being, a kind soul, a good sense of humor packed on a nice body with an attractive face and a beautiful smile.
And He likes working out, IMF, dogs, carbs and croissants!
Yes I do have a big CRUSH on Huberman.
I don't know if I have a crush on his brain because of the package or if I have a crush on the package because of the brain.
What's not to like ? 😍
Totally! Anyone else has Hubermann in their dreams! 🤦🏼♀️
Love and appreciate all the information he brings to us, so much knowledge covering many areas of science and linking the information that is around but mostly that do not bring the understanding of the facts. And yes we can not help ourselves, but day dream with him, he embodies the perfect sample of manhood, that we expect to find and see in a man. So let's keeping dreaming and watching his wonderful podcasts. Last but not least, I appreciate the simplicity of the scenario, the absolute no distraction during his presentation, that he focus o the subject and is consistent with every episode. It is not about his image but about his message. And yet we dream....
@@celenebalvaneda4848 TL;DR. He a dilf
I truly believe that Professor Andrew Huberman deserves Nobel Prize. Thank you very much for your hard work, dedication, willingness to help and everything you do !
I never miss Dr. Huberman’s Podcast. I think this podcast must be mandatory for all psychologists and neuroscience lover 👍🏼
All health care providers
Science shouldn't be mandatory. Allow people to stay stupid, if they want to.
P.S. Except the cases, where your health and life may be under risk because of such stupid people.
I always miss it, on Tuesdays Wednesdays Thursdays Fridays Saturdays and Sundays. :(
@@accuso "science shouldn't be mandatory" I don't know man, that hasn't worked out very well in recent history.
Anyone who want to improve themselves*
This guy's cogent and lucid explanations of dopamine's role has me seriously considering getting sober.
Same here :)
Good luck. We're pulling for you!
I quit drinking three years ago and I have never felt so good. Now to o my make a couple other changes.
Good luck! At least try it! 🙏🏽
@Raine Weber how are you getting on?
Any update? It's okay if you haven't gotten there, at least you had the thought which is the first step, my man.
I can’t believe it’s been 32 episodes already. Every Monday I know it’s time for this amazing podcast and I always find myself looking forward to it. The information you have provided us is tremendously valuable as there hasn’t been such an easy and accessible way to learn all of this before your arrival. Please continue this incredible journey, you are doing God’s work!
Thank you professor Andrew for your effort to make these concepts available and easy to understand for the average person you're amazing.
We are all so fortunate to have access to the amazing work of Andrew & his team. I have been able to help myself thanks to the work they do.
At the 2:00 mark he talks about the opponent process mechanism. In the book Dopamine Nation, Anna Lembke addresses the opponent process theory. Being aware & understanding this process has helped me with being conscious of my desires & feelings. Below is the part of her book that resonated with me & I continually keep it in mind. I think that many people could improve their life if they understood the "tug of war" between pleasure & pain that is battling inside all of us.
“Pleasure and pain are co-located. In addition to the discovery of dopamine, neuro-scientists have determined that pleasure and pain are processed in overlapping brain regions, and work via an opponent processing mechanism. Another way to say this is pleasure and pain work like a balance. Imagine our brains contains a balance, a scale with a fulcrum in the centre. When nothing is on the balance it's level with the ground. When we experience pleasure, dopamine is released in our reward pathway and the balance tips to the side of pleasure. The more our balance tips and the faster it tips, the more pleasure we feel. But here's the important thing about the balance. It wants to remain level! that is, in equilibrium. It does not want to be tipped for very long, to one side or another. Hence, everytime the balance tips towards pleasure, powerful self-regulating mechanisms kick into action to bring it level again. These self-regulating mechanisms do not require conscious thought or an act of will, they just happen like a reflex.”
― Anna Lembke, Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence
I suffer from PTSD due to childhood trauma & have suffered from panic attacks, night eating, sleep terror etc since childhood. I didn't address my issues until 40 years later for several reasons but unknowingly took steps to treat myself like maintaining regular physical activity, supplements, journalling etc. None of this helped but kept me functional without meds. When I reached out for help the talk therapy didn't help me much & I changed therapists 3 times until I found 1 that I liked. The biggest help for me has been cold water therapy. I've been taking a 1 minute cold shower every day for months & I have experienced some relief. I believe that the relief is due to improving my opponent process mechanism thanks to the cold water. Due to my trauma as a child my opponent process has been messed up badly. Everyday I take action to get it back in balance.
I stumbled upon Ramachandran's TED talk a year before I happened to have a car accident that left me with CRPS in my left leg. I remembered the TED talk and put a dressing mirror between my knees facing my good leg. I had no box or contraption, I just remembered the talk, and the doctors called my recovery remarkable.
Time stamps are SUPER appreciated. From one science educator to another, thanks so much for your work 🙏🏼
Single handedly making monday great again!
I found out about this Podcast two weeks ago, and have already learned so many things which I can use to better my life and daily Routine. Thank you very much Dr. Huberman!! Greetings from Germany
@Timo Jansson Hey, ja echt ein super Podcast! Man findet in jedem mindestens eine neue Info, die man anwenden kann:) Grüsse zurück aus BW
This channel is a blessing for humanity!
This podcast is all about pleasure! Although, it is painful to think that it ends so fast. Thank you Dr. Huberman. You enlighten my life with your voluntary and engaging knowledge sharing. I regularly recommend your UA-cam channel.
Every Monday begins with the Huberman Lab podcast, followed by phone calls to both of my college age children. They're going to reap the benefits of my healthy neuroscience obsession whether they like it or not.
You sound like a kick ass mom!!! Your kids are very lucky!!!😁👍🏽❤️
@@winbalingit8502 Thanks for your kind words! Some of it must be sinking in. My daughter called a couple of days ago with a friend who was having trouble sleeping. You know, of course, what I did....sent the link to Episode 2 :-)
I feel like I have had my mind and body for 47 years, and I am only, now, getting the User's manual. Thanks Dr H
Dr, Huberman
First off I would like to thank you for the time you spend educating us for free. This is one aspect that UA-cam should be utilized for. The reason podcasts are becoming so popular, is because people want a voice. When I heard yours, I knew that I could hear the sounds of a man who found connections to things I never could.
I have watched most of your podcasts, I am actually going back through them again. There is so much rational and understanding when you talk. The connections you make are undeniably the truth. Your analogies are dead on. Now while I feel as though a lot of people argue with your narrative. It is because of one important thing I want to highlight. Your view on subjective and objective realities, in correlation with pain and suffering. Correct me if I am wrong. A subjective reality is subject to interpretations, by that I mean local and not local. Different from an objective reality that has boundaries, while the boundaries of the objective reality can change the subjective one can move about in throughout the objective realm. Meaning that they are in fact separate. The realm can change or be rewired, or repaved. An analogy that I would use is cars and a road. while subjectively we move about the road, the road has limitations and boundaries, though we can repave the roads and even create ones to expand further. Meanwhile our adventurous interpretations, our view from the window of the car are subject to change. what we see while traveling around on those roads, are affected by what we tell ourselves about the experience. That does not take away from what is actually there. if I Saw bigfoot, there was nobody around to see it but me. Did I actually see bigfoot? Some would argue , "Not until I told someone that I I did." The question I want to know is, If I saw a bear and Told everyone it was bigfoot, Did I really see bigfoot? See our interactions are a direct result of our talk with self, when we come in contact with one another. Pain is an objective thing, we can rewire it and it is subject to change but still a physiological thing that is difficult to measure. Suffering, though similar to pain is too self inflicted by the brain, it is not physiological. I am not arguing that one can affect the other. I am stating that emotional suffering is not physical, it is spiritual. So in order for this to work we have to agree we have a spirit. physical pain has objective boundaries created by the brain. I think it is our neural pathways that change our baseline, altering our interpretations of suffering. Creating two different subjective experiences from the same objective experience. Therefore concluding that they are in fact different. I really wish you would have stood up for this when you had the Sam Harris podcast, I posted a link in the comments. He is the reason that the crooked is being called straight, Check it out if you did not before. It is subjectively truth. Much like a hand and fist is the same in different positions, subjective and objective realities have completely different properties. Though they do connect, we must not confuse one with the other.
I appreciate all of Dr. Huberman’s podcasts, but especially the ones on pain. As a chronic pain patient, I have found many pain doctors who were uninterested and unwilling to try new approaches and who didn’t even look at peer reviewed publications to stay relevant. (and sad to say, that happened to me with some Stanford doctors when I worked at Stanford.) I realize that Dr. Huberman is a professor and not a medical doc, but I say he is a much-needed breath of fresh air!
EVERY single episode I learn something that I can integrate into my daily life. Thank you so, so much for everything you do sir.
You've really made Mondays my favorite day of the week Andrew, thank you
I really appreciate AH’s artful mastery in this podcast. His orchestration of highly intellectual information, facts is exceptionally lovely especially in his segue from pain into pleasure. Preceded by how he included his warm hearted personal relationship with us, his audience. The listen felt trustworthy, open hearted, poetic, artful, pleasurable!
What a gifted teacher! Thank you for these valuable lessons.
Good morning y'all, class begins ☕ the best thing every Monday
Mornin'! It's afternoon here though :D
@@Alexandra.AI. Good afternoon to you
Yes! This podcast is a pure pleasure 😊. Enjoy :)
Thank you for uploading all these amazing videos Dr Andrew Huberman! I've lost count of the amount of things I've learnt from watching all these podcasts! Thank you again!
Andrew, making Mondays something to look forward to!
Thank you. That is great to hear.
@@hubermanlab Making our dopamine levels rise throughout the day in anticipation of a new episode : )
Perhaps you should skip a Monday to break up the dopamine schedule!
Yes
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 WW1, 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......
@@AgendaInMind Thank you!
I never fail to be impressed by each guest and the breadth of knowledge possessed by . the wonderful Dr. Huberman. Another amazing and interesting listen.
Drs have no idea what chronic pain is like and therefore minimize and belittle people..too bad they can't experience what we do..maybe they would have more empathy. Thank you Dr. Huberman for providing important info for free
As a graduate of a Neuroscience program (too long ago), I absolutely love this podcast. It brings me back to a subject I truly enjoy
I am learning so much on Mondays and then spend the rest of the week striving to break bad habits and incorporate what I learn from you to create new habits that will be conducive to my wellbeing, while by example encouraging those around me to grow as well. You are very appreciated, loved and respected by those whose lives you are bettering. Thank you!
Thank you for helping people live a better life. I was trying to find some information that could possibly be helpful for my migraine headaches. In this video, you gave me more tools than all the GPs I ever asked (sadly, I am not exaggerating). A large number of people in this world suffer from migraine headaches and nobody cares; we are supposed to work productively and function without slowing down. I hope that science will come up with some great, innovative ideas in the near future. So many issues of the world are in the hands of the scientists... I appreciate you guys so, so much.
Have you tried 600mg of magnesium glycinate? That and diet changes helped me tremendously.
Just finished up the last podcast, so this is perfect timing. I love listening to these while I'm working out or driving. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
I thought this said working out and driving for a second. That's next level.
@@Fergus-H-MacLeod haha I probably do too much while driving but never that
@@Fergus-H-MacLeod possible who knows
This is the only podcast that I have no problem listening to the ads because Andrew is so genuine and passionate about bringing this hidden science to the public so we can get better. THANK YOU
So that's why is why I liked real estate when I was in it because so many deals fall through, but when they don't you get a pretty nice reward. It's ultimately not what I wanted to to do forever, but was fun for 5 years. I'm not going to be a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, which I'm so passionate about! You podcast has taught me soooooo much!
I listened to this amazing lecture again. I found the information you provided regarding mosquito, itching etc fascinating because I’m a Floridian who lives by and goes to the beach daily to workout as well as a river close by. I’ve noticed the mosquito have gotten worse and the covert scientist I am found myself researchingthis little monsters who have been eating me ( alive)
Very grateful!
Also, I had severe pain years ago from a failed fusion ( missing cadaver bone 9 years ago).
Tried the Acupuncture in Boca Raton Fl back in the day, omg it was so painful, and I consider myself to have a high pain tolerance.
Now after a second fusion with lots titanium in the neck 10 years I’m good to go 💪thanks again, your lectures are improving my life , ten fold!🧜♀️✌️
I, and likely every other person suffering from long term chronic pain, would very much appreciate a conversation with any expert that have devoted a significant amount of time to researching this complicated topic. Thank you for your consideration!
I've listened to both of the podcasts that have covered some of this topic, great episodes! -
Control Pain & Heal Faster with Your Brain
How to Control Your Sense of Pain & Pleasure
It's not a problem that themes and subjects reemerge in the podcast. Science/Life revolves around certain repetitive fundamentals/concepts in everything we experience and repetition allows for the information to sink in. All is splendid information I might add, sir!
Dr. Huberman,
Thank you for everything that you are doing!!! I hope your channel grows and reaches more people!
Thank you for the kind words! Best wishes, Andrew
Thank you for your contribution to all of us in sharing your extensive knowledge of science, as it relates to our minds and bodies. I have found the podcasts to be not just informative but fascinating. It's like I am attending a college-level class each week without the stress of having to excel and get a good grade. And your subtle humor is a nice touch.
Hello Dr. Huberman. I would like to see an episode on the mechanisms of belief, particularly belief systems like religions, or even placebo groups in various studies, and their relations to neuroscience.
Thank you so much for making Mondays a little more enjoyable.
I would like to see an episode on placebo effect, too, as some research shows there are both perceived and measured effects on pain, etc.due to placebos.
Would also be interested in this
This is very insightful. I began acupuncture in 2007 a few years after my husband died. The second session I had a wave of warmth travel through my left leg along with an overwhelming feeling of grief in my leg. I thought I was crazy.
Still getting acupuncture and no longer on meds for fibromyalgia, headaches or asthma. Thank you!
In the vein of not raising your baseline dopamine levels, I'm not going to over-congratulate, but simply say this channel is a rare internet gift. That said, the deep respect you have for hypnosis is evident; would you do a cast about hypnosis, self-hypnosis - maybe have an expert on? I feel like it could be a ...deep dive.
Dr Huberman, would you consider doing an episode on that includes information about cataracts. Specifically, they have you wait until cataracts are "bad enough" before offering surgery, but are cataracts blocking adequate light perception to the brain? And then in surgery they use blue-light-blocking lenses, which seems like a really bad idea!. Thanks so much for your valuable work.
We lose about a third of light reaching the retina between the ages of 20 and 60 through reduced transmission of light through ocular media. Cataracts will further affect that so it suggests we may need longer periods of morning light as we age.
My favorite running companion on Mondays. Thank you for continuing to make these gems for us!
Haha.. same here. An episode lasts for a couple of days!
I also want to add that your way of explaining is great and you really help in raising awareness and understanding how our body works
Wishing it was Monday to get a new episode? Huberman, you're messing with our dopamine levels!! (and we love it) Still waiting for the episode on addiction but enjoying the ride!!!
I hope you've listened to the episode on addiction now, it was awesome!
i just took a cold shower like Dr. Huberman said and its extraordinary. First 3 sec are mentally hard to resist but then its piece of cake. I allways had first moderate heat showers and after that slowly geting into cold but it doenst really worked. Its much better this way and its very refreshing. Thank you Dr. Huberman for all the free informations. I dont have the time now to watch all the video, only half, but maybe you mention it , its not better to take maybe during summer time when its 35C celsius or hotter outside , hot showers to get used with the heat and maybe from time to time cold showers and vice versra during the winter?
Absolutely incredible!
Andrew Huberman
Your ability to communicate through education definitely stimulate and motivates one to build on basic principles too maintain one’s health.
I am so impressed with what you are doing that I will send the information to the people that I know who need to
listen and learn.
Thank you,I do appreciate you very much.
Margo
i have to force myself away from this podcast to get things done that exciting it is. Thanks for your great work !!
I’m in Physical Therapy now and your blogs are truly pumping me up! I think as you! Thank you!
As always our brains and bodies are more understood listening to Andrew. Can’t wait for the episode on fascia
With fibromyalgia itchiness seems to be a precursor to the actual pain (mild ghost paper cut sensations progressed to electric shock sensations over time), triggered by even mildly irritating emotional stimuli such as *one* stressful thought. I've found it can greatly be reduced, almost completely gone with introducing protein into every meal, removing all caffeine and added sugars, eating fish at least once a day, as well as including smoothies with protein, flax seeds, hemp seeds, beet & kale. This, and exercising muscle groups especially where the pain is located helps quite a bit (and of course, removing all emotionally distressing situations, e.g. resolving emotional traumas---which is a main influence in maintenance of these new habits). It can be a great motivator to stop ignoring the underlying preexisting conditions of fibro., which may include a high emotional pain threshold.
As for the cat experiment--- I'll take my chances with fibro. 🤖😾☠👻
Edit: obviously this is my experience, everyone is different & there are different reasons to have fibromyalgia which is part of the challenge of correctly resolving it. In my opinion it's a symptom of other things, sometimes multiple things, similar to depression or anxiety.
I find your observation about itchiness being the precursor to actual pain very interesting.
10 yrs ago i had a partial hepatectomy as i was a liver donor for my dad. Due to unresolved trauma prior to surgery and suboptimal post op pain managemnt, i developed chronic pain at the op site which took 2 yrs to fully settle.
Fast fwd to current day, im in my 40s, pregnant w my 1st child and now in my 26th week.
Abt 8 weeks ago, i developed intense itch below the scar area in my abdomen at the right side. It progressed to this burning sensation and then allodynia at the level of T10 to T12.
I was subsequently dx with anterior cutaneous nerve entrapmnt syndrome which leaves me w mod to severe pain. Ive had a trunk block and nerve hydrodissection done so far w very fleeting relief. Other modalities of rx is off limits due to my pregnancy.
Now im mostly in bed as walking, standing and sitting for short periods intensifies the pain that is otherwise always present. Now tht u mentioned it, i do notice that before i get into severe bouts of pain, i will have intense itch at the affected area and recently, i feel like my whole body will itch as well.
Using kinesiotapes on the affected area reduces the tactile allodynia and mitigates the static pain to some small degree.
I have 11 weeks more to go. I hope i can bring this pregnncy to term. Its the only viable embryo after multiple ivf cycles.
I hope you are doing well.
Best wishes frm 🇲🇾🙏🏾.
I've been anticipating more to get more dopamine at work and my work day is flying by now wow
Again! Thank you a million sir!! Light of the earth!!
Hey professor, great episode. Since school is starting soon, can you do an episode about working memory and long term memory. Would love to see your take on it.
Oh, I am so impressed that I'm here at the first minute of publication!
That was the fanciest "first" I have ever read 😆
Hi Andrew, I just want to say thank you. The information you provided regarding getting morning sunlight has helped me reset my sleeping pattern faster than anything I've tried previously. I'm trying to share the information I get from these podcasts with my family and friends who suffer similar issues.
Cheers
Ah! Do I sense an extra spring in your step today, Dr. Huberman? I enjoy this topic of conversation and exploration very much, as well.
Andrew , please do a podcast talking about confidence . What regulates it , how to improve , rebuild , I can’t thank you enough for the work you’ve done on here , it’s been life changing for me . Andrew huberman and Jordan Peterson are the 2 most influential people in my life for the last 10 years
Midwife here in Canada loving your information and tools again and again. Will bring this information to my clients to practice in pregnancy.
You are the most informative pod cast I have ever watched. You are helping so many including me in my Journy to better my well being thank you sir.
I went to a master Chinese acupuncturist years ago. He rotated the needles rapidly between his fingers to stimulate nerves. For about 24 hours after treatment my pain/ eating response was intensified but after that, the results were really unbelievable. I was cynical with my first experience so it wasn't a case of 'it worked because I wanted it to'. He was not impressed with the methodologies used by western trained acupuncturists who take very short duration courses. A lot of success or failure of treatments, may be rooted in locating needle placement sites and application techniques training that take far more experience and training to master.
My own anecdotal experience, and discussions I've had with a master acupuncturist (who happens to be my best friend!) fully support what you've said. You explain it perfectly.
I love this podcast and channel so much that I find myself in a tricky situation ! I want to recommend it to everyone I know but then at the same time I also don't want to recommend it to anyone because this is such a gold mine and treasure trove of knowledge that I want it all for myself and I feel I would lose the advantage over others if I shared with them ! 😅 But then again, science is all about sharing knowledge so that everyone can benefit from it, so I will definitely be recommending this podcast to my colleagues and friends.
I always command my pain to leave my body and it generally does, from a stubbed toe, to a headache, to extreme painful stuff. The more extreme stuff takes more mental persistence but it fades eventually. Try it, don't give up. You have conscious power over your sense of pain.
Yeah, no. Tried that while I was running. Ended up pulling a muscle.
@@Alexandra.AI.He talked about that in the ''How and Why to Stretch'' épisode.
*My quick synthesis of what is ''pulling a muscle'' (from ly knowledge of that mentionned podcast)*
You have ''intra-fusal muscle fibers" (into muscle) containing proprioceptive organs called muscle spindles, sort of suspensions for cars,
that contract and extend, permitting elasticity.
Their connected to motor neurons, their to asses if too much strain is put onto them, they feel like pain to signal that there's too much strain and that you're gonna ''pull a muscle''.
If you don't listen to that, to a certain extent, you're gonna pull that muscle.
That's why stretching statically, habituating the intra-fusal muscles fibers to extend much more, is recommended before stretching them dynamically (running) AND not listening to the signals teeling you to STOP.
For the mindset about pushing harder : See David Goggins.
(Goggins who doesn't care about hurting himself and his known to have performed incredible feet of human resiliency while injured, i.e finishing to run a marathon with broken ribs, respiratory difficulties and if I remember right, even shitting himself !)
Watching you and listening to your teachings…. raises my dopamine! You are my favorite neuromodulator 🤩
My favourite Dr. Andrew hubernan.. loved the episode.
Can u do more episodes on depression?
Thanks.
Many thanks for donating your time, energy, and attention without cost! We have a friend who has a ten year old boy suffering from Trigeminal Neuralgia. Are you aware of any other treatment beyond surgery that would help reduce his daily 10/10 pain?
Thank you for correct pronounciation of difficult surnames, it is becoming increasingly popular to not to bother...
I love this podcast. If you put the episode number at the front of the title it would improve my life greatly, and the lives of those trying to download the files into a small device, like say, a running watch. Even if you don't do this you have still improved my life, so it's all good.
Wowow. Ive lived through various “psychosomatic” pains that were later described as fibromylagia and IBS separately many years later. Through extensive research of myself about 10 years ago, I found that LDN can help elevating the unexplained pain I was experiencing. I had to change 10 doctors and had printed the scientific publications I was referring to before I found a doctor who agreed to prescribe it for me … which helped a lot. Although it was many years after were they told me I had some sort of “nervous breakdown” where somehow I kept my sanity but I was experiencing almost any neural stimulation as pain. They gave me Cymbalta which numbed everything out. Before that not even morphine worked to reduce the extreme levels of pain I was experiencing everywhere.
Today very long years after that I am off all meds and the ONLY thing keeping my pain away is daily exercise. Keeping my heart rate above 140-150 at least 20 min a day or 5 times a week for the endorphins to kick in.
Thank you Andrew. I love your podcast. Keep being you. 🙏🏻
Still at acupuncture/hypnosis. Have to say these presentations are insightful, comprehensive and awesome!
I've been doing a 25 minute hypnosis, Paul Paul McKenna's: ''Change your life in 7 days'', for over 15 years, I use it as a rest/reset finding that if I have the 25 minutes away I come back more refreshed as an uplifting nap, I guess it's like the Yoga Nidra, although I've only tried the latter twice since you were on with Tim Ferriss.
I also did the inaugural Coursera `Learning how to learn` course with Barbara Oakely (you mentioned somewhere in the last 5 hours me listening you were at UCSD), so I guess I've had an interest in neuroscience (like, as a _necessary_ distraction for an electronics engineer, but so is Prof. Oakley so there's that).
Really enjoying Reveri although having to respond can be a little jarring when the tech ain't working, and being used to/conditioned to zone out for 25 min sometimes I disappear altogether; ''No. Evidently, I'm no longer here Dr Spiegel''. Also it has concerned the kids at home, when dad is just saying 'yes' for no apparent reason from somewhere far far away.
**For me really keen on non pharmaceutical but readily available biological and physiological protocols.**
Let's just say I like to grow my own; not that I ever have, my neurodiversity is enough of a trip for me. I have a personal anecdote of rubbing up against a clarysage (Salvia Sclarea) bush in the garden when I had a shocker head ache and instantly having all the headache pain go away just from the smelling the stuff in the air (I'm still wondering how it got it's common name) . You mentioned `the legume` covered in itch inducing barbs, with a sweet dopamine bean treat inside.
Really enjoying the actionable protocols and the options you're providing; ''We're all different; otherwise I'd have nothing to talk about.'' (TM, that's mine) and Socrates may have said, the real trick is to know thy self.
All the best to you, Costello and your crew.
ps: yeah at 98 kg (220 lb) I have listened to your weight loss episode, doing cold therapy today by wearing a t-shirt in Southern Australian winter. Since listening, I've also tried inducing as best as I can describe it _ASMR_ like tingles giving myself goose pimples, would be keen know if this is sufficient or is shivering required? as I write this I'm also reminded of reading an article about why cats purr, something to do with only being `active` 2-4 hours a day and requiring it to maintain minimal circulation etc.
Waiting the weekend to pass so Monday will come for the new episode.
As Huberman fan I live a strange life as all of us :)
Can you listen to him at once? Many times I get lost, lose track, lose focus so easily even if I tried a lot.
@@kilickayamert I listen always at regular speed, at least two times sometimes three. The fist one on Monday, next on Tuesday and last on Wednesday. Two or three times make me ready for an exam :D But to be serious a lot of info to absorb so two times is necessary for me to get it all.
Listening from Perú 🇵🇪 thank you so much for all this wonderful information 🙏
Every episode I learn something new. It's so amazing. Thanks for explaining everything slowly and repeating yourself for us civilians ☺️ Best from Germany.
Dr. Huberman thank you for your podcast. I have been listening to you at work and it has been incredible. Also Jenkem magazine and Karl Watson brought me here! Hooray for skateboarding! Im in my mid-40's and continue to skateboard. Fountain of Youth for sure. I've stayed young and my mind feels young because of it. Also please get on the Nine Club and talk to Crob and Rog and Kelly about their sleep habits. I get the feeling they need some help and rest! Thank you for you Andrew.
You're great gift to human race
So true 👍
1:36:10 This doesn't only help with pain. It also provides relief when tired. It feels so nice when I rub my face, especially the areas around my eyes and forehead, when I'm tired.
Thanks to you and all the team who make these happen
Andrew, your knowledge is changing my life. THANK YOU! ❤️
I'd love to listen to you talking about aging (how to delay it and revert it) and skin, please. 🙏🏼
Namaste! I am mesmerised by this guy. Love from India.
Thank you Dr. H. I just can’t enough of the science of Dopamine so don’t worry about repeating info. I love learning why we do the things we do. I get much pleasure ( but not too much. Per your warning 🙂) in knowing I haven’t missed an episode since inception. Keep going my friend!
Listening to (and seeing!) Andrew makes me feel like I'm at summer camp🥰
Hello beautiful lady from the other side..
You can call me Nani, that's my Nick name. Something negative stamped on my mind and I'm so ready to let it go before discovering this channel this morning,,.
I'm from Africa and things are not even down in the rightfull manner down here,, wanna get some tips and advice from you about life and wanna,, make friends here with good people too..
Hope you stay safe 💯💯💯
So informative and digestible as always.
Any comment about the quality of content and my takeaways have been thrown out the window based on the following epic one liners:
“Broad strokes, no pun intended… talking about pleasure”🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀
AND
You describing your nieces joy seeing her friends and not wanting to dilute the purity of the experience with “neurobiological reductionism”
You bringing your depth of neurobiology mixed with real life, the beauty of the human experience is what makes this podcast exceptional, in my opinion. ❤️
Who would've thought dopamine's role in the nervous system could be so complex! Sort of related to dopamine, I would love if you covered ADHD/ADD in a future episode :)
Thanks for the amazing content Dr Huberman. YT is definitely a better "place" since you launched your podcast. I have a question about NAD IV drips (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide). Are they really beneficial?
Dr. Huberman, it would be great if you could make a separate short video about the dopamine and maximizing motivation, similar to the one on Instagram so that we could share it on other platforms, too! It is a game changer!
A few episodes back you mentioned size or growth od the ears to be a predictor of how fast you age or something like that - you said you will talk about that later and then never came back to that. I just wanted to remind you 😁
Yes, I've always had large ears even as a boy. Surely it's the growth from your starting adult size ear to where you are now that counts? Not just the size itself. I have a head like the F.A.Cup 🏆. Am I doomed?
@@penmaenmawrdefiant1146 probably it's just that your ears are very old.
100% pleasureful 😆 Thanks for helping us out Andrew you are very much appreciated!
"It is however, part of my desire and effort to bring zero cost-to-consumer information about science and science-related tools to the general public."
My man nails it every time. Same flow. Same pitch.
Truuuue !
Here because of the pod cast this joe. Glad i have another podcast to follow 🙏🙌
Addicted to this show, he makes complex things so easy to understand
Huge thanks Dr Huberman , I loved this!! 🧜♀️✌️
Just recently discovered your podcast and love that you're explaining the science bebind how the body works. A request-- if you do video on fascia, please address plantar fasciitis. Thank you!
Wonderful info...questions it raised for me: 1. Do those who experience a lower pain threshold also experience a higher pleasure intensity? 2. What about pain that is experienced as pleasurable? What is going on with that? 3. Any studies verifying that psychological pain perception mirrors physical pain perception in individuals relative to personal pain thresholds? 4. ADHD and rejection sensitive dysphoria (real? known?), association between depression/schizoprenia/Borderline, etc. and pain thresholds? Anything measurable? Sincerely appreciate your decision and follow through to share as you do.
Hi Dr. Huberman, thanks for your dedication and great work sharing so much information!
I have a couple of questions about this subject:
If there’s no objective way to measure pain, also it can be relative (for all the factors you’ve mentioned) when Drs. ask: “in a scale of 0 to 10, how would you rate your pain?”. Why science can’t evaluate this things with specific devices (with a certain frequency) that could cause sensations like heat, cold, pinch (or pressure simulators), even electric stimulation (if the individual to improve the treatment) in order to help patients to “express” it in a way that the doctors could understand better (in a general sense)?
How if they answer a survey (to evaluate the factors that increase or not pain) and this device could track the neurological response in a X frequency for exemple, could they use the same X to get the scales of pain answered?
protocol for separation anxiety/distress: lots of self-hugs
D': how ironic it is that if we're in the middle of a breakup, we can't think about the loved one because it hurts *freaking more
This podcast is the best reward ..
Thankful for every episode
Don’t even talk to me until the weekly huberman podcast dropped
Hi Andrew! Greetings from Russia, Komsomolsk-on-Amur! Thank you for your podcast, it's a valuable source of knowledge for me. Could you please consider doing an episode about joints (in particular, knee joints)? How to keep them healthy when strength training or bicycling? Thanks. You do a great job!
Hi Dr Huberman is there any data on the covid vaccines and how they work on a neuroscienctif level? Can't get enough of the podcast. Thank you for so much useful information!!!!!!
The man who has anticipated the coming of troubles takes away their power when they arrive. - Epictetus
Huberman: only if the man anticipated it 20 to 40 seconds prior to their coming.
Addind precision onto ancestral knowledge, tested and veted by science, Epictetus would (I think) have appreciated that !
The philosophers of ancien times sort of were scientists, with less tools available to examine the body, they just choose to be researchers of the mind !
Hey :)
That's all very interesting ! I now understand that I've got a very high pain threshold. I've had a testicular torsion in my life (and lost a testicle by being stupid about it) and did not get help before three days because the pain was very tolerable to me. For those who don't know, it basically means that the blood supply to my testicle got stopped by a knot in the artery/tissues there, and it was painful and actually started rotting because it took so long for me to get help. Every doctor I talked to said this kind of pain is unbearable, which was counter to my experience.
I sometimes want to have a kidney stone just in order to compare and see what's really the most painful thing a human can experience. Just the fact that I'm willing to experience such a pain out of curiosity may indicate how non-affected I am by pain in general 🤔
