Where to look exactly during sunlight viewing?
I know you recently said, that we should look towards the direction of the sun. But i don't exactly know, how you mean this in terms of where exactly to look with our eyes? Does this mechanism works through sunlight just reaching the whole eyeball passively, independently from where one is looking/staring at? So e.g. i am faced to the (very bright) morning or mid day sun, no cloud cover, my eyeballs are hit by the sunlight, i am staring right at the ground (which could be completely dark or even brightly lid as well), am i setting my circadian clock? I am always worrying that, if i even would slightly look up to the sun, i am already damaging my retina/vision, maybe not in one day, but if i am doing this practice for many years to come. Could you elaborate on that?
Low energy and lethargy
I’ve had low energy and lethargy (and perhaps brain fog) my whole life, often needing multiple naps throughout the day in order to cope with socialising, work, tasks requiring focus, etc. It’s had a massive effect on my life. I’ve tried changing my diet to focus on gut health, taking up exercise, sleep apnea trials, supplements for thyroid and testosterone levels… and I still feel the same. What other possibilities/remedies could there be? Should I get tested for allergies? Blood parasites? Neurosteroid deficiency? Could it be entirely psychological (e.g. subconscious anxiety)? ADHD even? Any help would be amazing
Pre & Post Surgery Protocols
Hey Dr.Huberman! Huge Fan, Love what you do, many thanks. So, it seems my life & career as a classical concert pianist are on hold due to an impending surgery intervention - my infra- and supraspinati have detached - they were reattached 6 years ago, after an accident, but have recently suffered some trauma. QUESTION: What can I best do, to optimize my results(physical and mental), calm down & mitigate my terror(fear/ego obviously) and attempt to arrive at a more positive mindset...or at least optimal results ? (i.e. supplements to heal post surgery etc... or whatever comes to mind...)? NB - I did listen to the Dr. Peter Attia shoulder surgery podcast and I know about his surgeon's helpful attitude towards and for musicians, including classical ...but I live in Germany atm... THANKS - Marc P. Toth (marc@marctoth.com) PS - I try to get all my students to listen to your podcasts and even present your protocols to them (with full credit to you) in my lectures...
QUESTION for RICK RUBIN
Hey Dr. Andrew HUBERmann - (the Uber is written large, because I consider you an Übermensch = Superhuman :D) 2 questions for RICK RUBIN after your awesome podcast with him 1) having acknowledged that tiny cabals run most things which are desirable and tricky to get into - (e.g. Music Biz, University Professorships etc..) are there any strategies or advice you might give someone who has capacity, ability, knowledge and acumen as their strong suits rather than having a strong political network ? 2) You said you listen to classical music, so I thought, what would I have to do to convince you to make a recording with me (Classical Piano ) ?? I do have an angle ... PS - apologies but i HAD to ask, or chastise myself lifelong for not doing so... many thanks, all the best Marc marc@marctoth.com
