Combat Sports a good substitute for cardio?

Hello do you think boxing/jiujitsu/wrestling is a good substitute for a cardio session? Or do you think it’s too damaging on the body. Thank you.

Reading light

I typically read nonfiction immediately prior to going to sleep; I find it helps me relax. I know to avoid overhead lights close to bedtime, but beyond that what type of reading light would be ideal for this? Thanks for your help.

Alternatives to Alcohol

Hi Dr Huberman, for those of us that want to cut down (or cut out) alcohol, but still want to maintain an active social life - often surrounded by people drinking heavily - are there substitutes you would recommend (supplements, natural stimulants, etc.) that can mirror some of the positive effects of alcohol (reduced anxiety, energy increase, euphoric sensations, etc) without the adverse physiological impacts? I live in NYC where there is an active nightlife and lots of us are looking for alternatives to drinking and drugs, but cutting everything out can be challenging. Microdosing of one thing or another seems to be the new approach, but can also come with risks. Anyway, would love your take!
