HRT: Progesterone or not?
The standard medical procedure of HRT for women after hysterectomy is estrogen therapy alone without progesterone. What does the science say about adding progesterone anyway, as progesterone seems to have other beneficial properties beside its effects on the uterus, assuming HRT is done with bioidentical estradiol and progesterone. I am 56 and started HRT (estradiol) approx. 3 years ago.
Lowering Prolactin Level from Marijuana Use
From your episode on Marijuana, I became curious about THC increasing Prolactin in the body and from recent blood work, I indeed saw increasingly high levels of Prolactin in my body even after no THC use for approximately a month. Assuming other factors could be in place, but looking to discover any natural or supplemental ways to return to optimal levels outside of not consuming THC. Is there the science behind lowering Prolactin levels and at what degree of time are we able to reverse and get back to safer levels.
Ashwagandha & AG1 Supplementation in relation to Morning Sunlight
One specific question I had pertained to the supplement "ashwagandha". As you mentioned, ashwagandha lowers cortisol levels when consumed and as a regular user of Athletic greens, I typically take it in the morning as I go for a walk and get my morning sunlight. That said, with the purpose of heightening my cortisol levels with morning sunlight... this brings me to the question, would the ashwagandha in my athletic greens be counteracting the cortisol levels I am aiming to get with sunlight, or, better yet, diminish the effects of the benefits of morning sunlight? Rather, should I instead take my athletic greens after getting morning sunlight, let's say an hour prior for better results? On a separate note, if there is no effect at all, how much Ashwagandha do you recommend per day, and what time of day is best to subside stress and anxiety episodes in relation to already taking AG1 so that it does not affect biomarkers, health, sleep, energy levels, etc.
AMA listener Roundtable
More of an idea versus a question. At some point, it could be really interesting to formulate some version of a roundtable discussion with listeners of your podcast to share what we've learned or how your format has helped us make informed decisions on many aspects of our life. The perspective gained my the Huberman team and the listeners, could be interesting to share. Food for thought
Discussing topics in “laymen’s” language
I love your guest episodes with Dr Galpin. He is so knowledgeable and thorough. I’m a 62 YO woman who has only started exercising seriously in the last 5 years. I have been listening to the episodes but it’s so technical and goes down so many side roads, I have trouble distilling and understanding the information. You use the word hypertrophy a million times and I get it, you are scientists, but most of the listeners are not. Most of us are not hard core athletes either. I love that you do all these protocols and I don’t know how you have time to do your full time job as well as podcasts, prep for podcasts, answer questions and all the health systems you do each day. Anyway, my request is that you discuss topics in plain language and lay out processes for us beginners and such. Thanks for all you do. It is truly remarkable and amazing. Wishing all the best in life to you and your team!!
