Detailed description of Dr. Huberman's day including all health, work, connection protocols
Can you walk us through a (very detailed) day in the life of Dr. Andrew Huberman, and how that plays out over an entire week? I'd love to hear about how you maximize the power of each moment through health and wellness protocols. You've done this separately related to each topic (e.g., your morning sunlight viewing protocol or your workout protocol) but never all together as one! Thank you
Natural Flavors
Hello! I hear you say you take Athletic Greens and so do I. However, I just learned that anything containing Natural Flavors should be avoided. I follow Bobby from FlavCity (look him up!) and he said all natural flavors means is that a company has to start with some type of real food and can do whatever they want to without telling you, add chemicals, pesticides, hormones, etc., and still call it Natural Flavors. It's in Athletic Greens. Can you please find out from the company that you support what exactly they do to their Natural Flavors or what exactly it is in it?? Thank you, Michelle Brunelli
is there any possible correlation between an astigmatism and mental fatigue, distraction, and concentration?
I have an astigmatism bilaterally. I have also been diagnosed with chronic migraines and ADHD. Recently I was prescribed astigmatic correction lenses. I noticed a dramatic difference in many aspects of my life. My migraines started to go away. I was able to pay attention in my nursing school classes with minimal effort. My eye strains and pains eased up, and most importantly, the mental fatigue that I would incur from trying to focus began to dissipate. I guess my question is: is there any possible correlation between an astigmatism and mental fatigue, distraction, and concentration?
Maladaptive Daydreaming As A Behavioral Addiction
Maladaptive daydreaming is categorized as a behavioral addiction and seems to be fairly prevalent in the ADHD community, but there isn't much research on the topic. I've used maladaptive daydreaming as a coping mechanism since I was 4, although until recently I thought this was just "thinking". I would engage daydreams that elicit extreme emotional responses for roughly 85% of my day, which I imagine was useful for both the escapism component as well as some chemical release (past-tense, I started doing carnivore and approx. 90% of my ADHD/Depression/Anxiety symptoms went away, and cleared my psoriasis entirely, just a note, don't @ me). From what I've read, this behavior is categorized as an addictive behavior, but "no one knows why". An addiction to the subsequent chemical release following a highly emotional daydream seems obvious to me, but maybe I'm off. I began to recognize this behavior as an addiction when I was about 9 years old and went through phases of attempting to wean myself off of daydreaming, to no avail. Other than a total inability to focus in class, I'm not sure how I knew as a 9 year old that my daydreaming was a negative behavior. The only thing I can think of is that the initial "feel good" burst, followed by a very deep low, follows the dopamine spike and trough pattern you've described with drug/alcohol use. I'm curious to know if you have any thoughts on it as it's still a behavior I occasionally struggle with.
What is the optimal Skin care routine?
How to effectively get rid of dark under eye circles? Is there a way to exercise your face muscles to change your face shape? What is the optimal Skin care routine? Do the the new craze skin cream products (collagen, retinol, Hyaluronic acid) actually work? If so what do they do and which ones should be used to avoid wrinkles/keep face firm?
