Gene sequencing
Have you had you genome sequenced? Do you recommend this for others to know more about themselves (similar to the general blood work you recommend as a baseline)? Why or why not? Is privacy a concern with current companies who offer this service? (I've heard that most companies send the samples to China to be sequenced, which seems to me to pose at least a potential threat.) Could you recommend any current companies that provide the best, most comprehensive sequencing?
Long-term Stress, War and Polyvagal Theory
Hello, Andrew! I’m very glad to ask you a question that has been on my mind for a year. I was rewinding your podcasts on stress and emotions one more time. I’m looking for useful tools to deal with war trauma and stress which are connected to outgoing war and life threatening situations in Ukraine (my parents and friends are in Kyiv). I wanted to ask you for a little bit more details on long-term stress (what are the key things to watch out for) and to know if you are familiar with Polyvagal theory (can it be useful in that case). I’m your big fan since 2020. Listening to your podcasts has become a weekly ritual for me, I can even compare it with drinking coffee - there is no day without coffee and no week without your podcasts. Thank you very much for your work! Tetiana
What to do about protocols when you get common cold or flu like symptoms.
Hi Dr Huberman! Thanks for all the useful tools and knowledge that you put out in the world through this podcast and al the others you do, it’s been truly life changing. I would like to ask you about what to do about all the protocols like light viewing, cold exposure, endurance and resistance training and the supplementation for sleep when you get the common cold or a flu that is not so bad in symptoms as so you have to go to the hospital but you take care of it at home. In my case I have a 4 years old son and he once every couple of months he brings home from his kindergarten a virus that runs its course through our family, when that happens besides taking the medicine the doctor prescribes I don’t know what to do about all the protocols I follow when im not felling sick. Again thanks for all this priceless knowledge you share, it is truly appreciated.
