Treating and/or preventing vertigo
I listened to what you had to say about vertigo in episode on The Science of Hearing, Balance & Accelerated Learning. It was interesting and somewhat helpful. However I suspect there is a lot more that can be provided to help people both prevent as well as treat severe vertigo episodes. I occasionally take meclazine which is helpful once an episode has begun but I hope to learn more about preventing this in the first place. I am planning to go on a four night sailing trip in the ocean and am looking for all the help I can get. Perhaps I should stock up on electrolytes? Please advise. Thanks.
Maximum heart rate
I'm confused about what a maximum heart rate means. I go for a run, mix in a couple of wind sprints (which I hate!) It gets my heart rate up to what I think is my maximum ~172 bpm (64 y.o. male) 1) Is going to that max good or bad? 2) Is it good or bad that going up five flights of stairs gets me to ~150 bpm, wouldn't it be better if that exertion resulted in a lower rate? I'm trying to get a couple more decades out of that appliance, so any heart health knowledge would be appreciated!
Ideal protein quantity
I have now heard these three versions (in different episodes of your podcast) of the ideal protein quantities for building muscle/ energy/ losing fat: 1. One gram of protein PER KG of body weight. 2. One gram of protein PER POUND of body weight. 3. One gram of protein PER KG of lean body mass. For me, 60 year old woman of, depending on which guideline I follow I would be aiming from 60 grams per day to 150 grams per day. I really would like to know which is the correct one! Thanks for everything you teach us, it is the most fabulous podcast.
Collagen supplementation yes or no and if so which form?
Dear Andrew, thank you so much for the Huberman Lab! I am curious on your thought and knowledge regarding collagen. When is supplementation appropriate? And is hydrolized marine type 1 including vit C, l arginine en glycine (Eqology Marine Collagen) a good option or are there better ones? Many thanks and keep going! All the best from the Netherlands.
Peri/menopause hormone testing program
A list of hormone (or other) tests with according 'normal' ranges and testing frequency that every woman in her 40's, 50's, and 60's should get from her doctor for perimenopause and menopause. Most doctors are not yet helping their patients to monitor and optimize their hormonal health through peri/menopause. However, just as I monitor my cholesterol and glucose levels now at age 45 in order to prevent heart disease and diabetes, I would like to know how to monitor my hormones through perimenopause and menopause to live that healthy, active life. I would like to know what tests to request, normal ranges, and frequency. And, when to ask for help from my doctor (behavioral, diet, supplement, HRT, etc...) before suffering the consequences of the inevitable hormonal changes to come. Thanks!
