Textbook recommendations?

Could you recommend some fairly accessible neurobiology and/or human anatomy textbooks for someone who enjoys learning more about the systems you talk about in your podcast? Preferably ones with decent illustrations and diagrams.

Glymphatic clearance during NSDR?

Does any glymphatic clearance occur during NSDR? How do the brain signals in NSDR differ from what happens during a nap of equal duration? I often feel more awake after an NSDR session than I do after napping and am trying to understand what’s happening.

Gut Health: Fermented foods, Prebiotic Fiber supplementation

1. Thank you for the fantastic podcast. I have improved many things in my life because of it. You have mentioned consuming fermented foods on several episodes, but Layne Norton seemed to point to prebiotic dietary fiber as the best and perhaps only evidence-based tool for microbiome improvement. Is there any science that suggests kimchi, yogurt, etc., actually improves the flora? 2. For someone whose diet does not include enough fiber, what would be the best fiber supplement specifically for microbiome health? Psyllium seems to have a lot of positive benefits, but I read it's resistant to fermentation.

Caffeinated drinks and testosterone

Hello!, Really glad to support your work. I have read that coffe can boost testosterone, whereas tea can lower it. Is it true that caffeinated drinks can affect testosterone and if so what is the optimal option?
