Dr. Andrew Huberman

[Ranchhand]

What's your take on Huberman down playing some scientists involvement with Epstein and visitation to his island?

Well frankly I believe it. It's all about the money and getting money for your endeavors. If it paid for scientist to spend time with Epstein to get funds for their research projects why not, whether they were really interested in that lifestyle or not, it got them the funding they needed. That's the economics of this world.

Don’t listen to authoritarian views, finding the information yourself, learning yourself is part of the growth and freedom.
Perceive, think, act.

Good stuff right there !!

 

[WOR-Main]

Huberman is a beast. It's good to see him doing so well and become recognized.

Simple example, fasting, fasting is leveraging cortisol. Essentially placing your body under a mild stressor in exchange for energy. Cold showers are in the same boat, caffeine, arguably, on an empty stomach with its increase on metabolism can also elicit a stress response.

correct brother I am aware of the various pathways of inducing this type of hormesis but during this , at least via HSP (sauna etc) our cortisol is raised, what about the others you mentioned is it raised during these periods or lowered ? ty sir

belief is the death of intelligence - Robert anton wilson

as soon as i strart to believe a theory and develop a conviction, immediately i play devils advocate against that belief in the theory and research opposing theories and neutral theories etc to gather more intel to derive a better opinion , rather than a belief or conviction, we shun out alot of future information boing this, as is evident in p******* and certain reli****** , dr jordan peterson speaks on this alot

They almost all raise cortisol, you have to realize cortisol is also a part of the system that turns of the sympathetic nervous system and gets back into parasympathetic, that’s why people with chronic anxiety/PTSD actually have flatlined cortisol and are unable to get back to a resting state. Cortisol is fascinating and willy-nilly lowering it is not a smart plan. Low baseline is also implicated as a risk factor for PTSD. Let the cortisol do it’s thing. Read some Hans Selye, it’s amazing how far ahead he was.

Be a bit wary of Georgi too, he interprets studies in a weird way, but also a huge supplement pusher meanwhile Ray was against almost all supplements (contaminants). I only realized this because he talked about the cola androgen study and I actually happened to have done a homework assignment on the same study haha

Yes don't trust that georgi guy
At all.the forum is full of utter nutters

Yeah I've never understood why people want to suppress cortisol. Have you ever seen anyone out of range? I've got mine tested with prolonged dieting, stress, thought it may be low. Nope, perfect in range. Any issues I was having wouldn't have been solved by doing a million things to lower cortisol.

Mine has been out of range. Numerous times. Saliva and blood.

Ultimately some of Huberman's recs were what I did and helped immensely. Wish I had discovered him when I was suffering.

I am extremely impressed with this doctor. a jew friend of mine (27 year old neurologist doc) studied under him at Stanford.

I know @Knight9 is familiar with him and posted a joe rogan interview with him- but his intellectual prowess is remarkable beyond this episode

he has the best methods backed by science for biohacking...

here are some notes from his light and sun exposure lecture:

“Getting sunlight in your eyes first thing in the morning is absolutely vital to mental and physical health. It is perhaps the most important thing that any and all of us can and should do in order to promote metabolic well-being, promote the positive function of your hormone system, get your mental health steering in the right direction.”

“That morning sunlight in your eyes should be a non-negotiable thing 360 days out of the year.”

“The simple behavior that I do believe everybody should adopt… is to view, ideally sunlight, for 2–10 minutes every morning upon waking. So, when you get up in the morning, you really want to get bright light into your eyes because it does two things. First of all, it triggers the timed release of cortisol, a healthy level of cortisol, into your system, which acts as a wake-up signal and will promote wakefulness and the ability to focus throughout the day. It also starts a timer for the onset of melatonin.”

• “By looking at sunlight through a window, it’s 50, five zero, times less effective than if that window were to be open — mostly because those windows filter out a lot of the wavelengths of blue light that are essential for stimulating the eyes and this wake-up signal.”

“During phase 1 — again, within 0 to about 8 or 9 hours after waking — bright lights in your environment, in particular overhead lights, are going to facilitate focus, they’re going to facilitate further release of things like dopamine and norepinephrine and healthy amounts of cortisol.”

Watching the Sunset Reduces Late-Night Light Exposure’s Adverse Effects​

“Viewing light circa sunset adjusts the sensitivity of the cells in the eye such that it buffers you against some of the negative effects of light late at night. So, I call it sort of my Netflix vaccination — I can watch some late-night movie or TV or be on my screen a little bit later provided I got some sunlight right around sunset.”

4. Once the Sun Goes Down, Dim Lights & Use Tabletop Lamps​

Why tabletop lamps? Andrew explains in this podcast clip:

• “The cells that bring in the circadian clock setting information sit in the lower half of the retina that, because of the optics of the eye, view the upper visual field.”\

• Bright Light Exposure Between 10 PM & 4 AM Suppresses Dopamine​

  “Bright light exposure between the hours of about 10 PM and 4 AM, if it’s chronic, if you do it more than every once in a while, triggers a suppression of dopamine that leads to deficits in learning, deficits in mood, and a whole host of other problems, including a connection to the pancreas that starts dis-regulating blood sugar.”

UVB Light Exposure Between 10PM & 4AM Inhibits Next-Day Mood​

“While UVB exposure in the morning and throughout the day is going to be very important for elevating and maintaining elevated mood, avoiding UVB light at night is actually a way in which we can prevent activation of this eye to perihabenular pathway that can actually turn on depression .. Avoid exposure to UVB light from artificial sources between the hours of 10 PM and 4 AM.”

I highly recommend you guys subscribe and follow his channel. the knowledge goes beyond what we normally see circulated in BB circles even here at PM with the brightest minds.

Bro always enjoy your threads you think outside the box.

Any chance you could start a thread sometime about some things MMA fighters do that could be beneficial for guys on the board?

Anything you can think of that may be beneficial keeping in mind recovery. For example I tried to use the web to see how MMA guys train the core seems like l-sits and dragon flyes are popular? Never seen them mentioned on bb forums just vaccumes. Or any HIIT protocols, diet stuff, recovery techniques, stretching etc.

I'd say out of all sports MMA guys definitely have the best physique lol

Haha, yeah a lot of the heavier guys are sporting the dad bod. Even John Jones who is usually lean and athletic had a permabulker look in his last fight.
