Episode about effort - both mental and physical, and how we perceive it?
Hi everyone, Dr. Huberman. I'd like to ask for a full episode on a topic that fascinates me - EFFORT, both mental and physical, and how we perceive it? A couple of recent guest episodes have touched briefly on the subject of effort, but I'd like to see a comprehensive look at it. Few people I know, including myself, have trouble engaging in certain activities, let's take the example of learning a new subject or skill on your own. This requires a mental effort to start and get there. I often give up because I feel some mental friction, and even thinking about it makes me feel - oh no! Not today, please / I don't have the time/capacity/enjoyment to do it.... Why is it that some people find it much easier to engage in activities like the ones mentioned above? Do some people have a lower threshold of mental effort that allows them to engage more easily and without friction? How can one lower one's threshold of effort in order to engage more easily?
Confused with AMA!
I just subscribe and became a member. I specifically wanted to know what Dr. Huberman had to say about eye floaters. I searched "eye floaters" in AMA, but all I get is a bunch of other people asking questions about "eye floaters". How do I find the answers to these questions? Thank you!
vigorous exercise and reduced inflammation
I find that if I am experiencing increased inflammation in my body (in my case sinus, muscle, and joint inflammation in particular) if I exercise vigorously by running, biking, or swimming that inflammation will almost always disappear within an hour or two after my exercise session. This feeling of reduced inflammation will last approximately 24 hours. What is the mechanism for this reduced inflammation post vigorous exercise?
severe allergic reactions and cyclic hyperventaltion (Wim Hoff Breathing)
Would cyclic hyperventilation (Wim Hof breathing) be an alternate treatment for a severe allergic response in the absence of an EpiPen (an adrenalin auto-injector)? How does breathing affect immune response with respect to allergies?
