Body temperature vs temperature perception
Hello Dr. Huberman - you have spoken about the inverse effect of cold/heat exposure on body temperature, i.e. cold showers or plunges will trigger mechanisms in the body that will raise body temperature, and heat exposure will precipitate a lowering of body temperature. This makes sense, but another piece of this puzzle for me is how I actually FEEL - i.e. whether I feel comfortable vs. cold vs. hot - in response to such inputs, which I've observed is generally the opposite. So, following a cold shower, or going outside in only shorts/t-shirt on a very cold day, I am generally struggling to regain a feeling of warmth for a while. I'm particularly sensitive to this in my extremities - I practice piano, but my hands can get cold very easily and remain that way even if I've warmed up (and the effect is magnified following cold exposure). My question is perhaps twofold: 1) are body temperature and temperature perception inversely correlated; and 2) how do I leverage cold exposure (which I enjoy at least for its perceived benefits) towards actually feeling warm and relaxed? Thank you very much for all your hard work, and for being so generous with your curiosity and wisdom!
Reverse Early-onset Osteoporosis
I am 30 years old that have been diagnosed with Osteoporosis, likely caused by thyroids. I am researching mechanisms and food that can help strengthen the bones and optimise my thyroids and hormone balance. I heard many times in your podcast that weight training helps strengthen the bones but, can I reverse osteoporosis? I get heaps of sunlight in the morning, and I hike and cycle to commute. I've recently started a program for weight resistance training to strengthen the bones. Thanks a lot. P.s. I love your podcast and I am a big fan of yours! Thanks for making the world a better place by sharing your knowledge.
